This car runs and drives and it's a sleeper…and most importantly – it is FAST. I have had 4 Fox-body Mustangs, and none of them would hang with this little Monster.

The individual I bought it from had set it up to use as a drift car. He bought it from the guy who built it. I can provide you with the builder’s number for more info.

It could easily be tuned for street, drag, or drift. Supposedly the builder used the kit from Monster Miata.

I am located in Springfield, IL.

Troy,

You list all the engine modifications. Other questions:
- What is the status of heater, A/C, and power sterring?
- What has been done to suspension and brakes?

TIA.

The heater works. I believe the AC needs recharged, I haven't used it, so I will check on that. I will dig up the list of suspension components.

The shocks were upgraded KYB with HD springs from Monster Miata. The control arms are stock OEM, and the sway bar is a Flyin Miata Stage 2 up front, and rear is stock. The links I believe are shorter with Watts links (as the previous owner told me).

Also, if you haven't yet taken a look at this video, it may answer some questions for you. It has a pretty decent walkaround, including the undercarriage, so you can get a visual of some of the components.

Is this car still for sale?
