Default 1994 FM built LS3 480 HP with 10k miles on build

THIS CAR HAS BEEN SOLD, THANK YOU! For sale is an excellent example of a first gen 1994 LS3 Miata built by Flyin Miata. This Laguna Blue Metallic is one of only 2,228 produced. This year the car will also turn 25 years old and qualify to be registered as a historic vehicle. This car has the LS 376/480 6.2 Liter crate engine with the “Hot Cam”. Crank horsepower is 495 and torque is 473. Car only has 10k miles since the 2010 build and 183,000k on the odometer. Car has “0” issues, runs like stock Chevy.

In the link there are pictures provided by FM of the build, build invoice, build summary, Dyno Sheet, and current price for similar build by FM. The attached 11 page build invoice will answer all your questions about every nut and bolt that went into this build, no corners were cut! Note original pictures of car after build do not show louvers, Z07 intake, hardtop and real lip spoiler.

Upgrades since I purchased this car in 2016 are;


· Speed density tune by Cartek Racing a well-known GM performance shop. Drivability was greatly improved at low speed and the power output is a very strong 400/400 at the wheels.

· Changed out the hot side intake for the Z-07 cold air intake

· Singular Motor Sports hood Louvers on newly painted hood

· Miata hard top just painted to match

· Rear Lip Spoiler


Build Highlights

Ø LS3376/480 Gen IV

Ø T56 6 Speed Transmission

Ø Cadillac CTS limited slip with 3.42 final drive

Ø Ceramic coated headers

Ø Upgrade to Aluminum driveshaft

Ø Stage 1 fan kit

Drivetrain, Suspension & Interior

Ø Paint is pretty good, no rust, or major issues. Some small dings

Ø Convertible top is only OK, but please don’t buy the car for the soft top…


Why am I selling? I’m 60 years old closing in on retirement, my second child starts college in one year, so two tuitions, and I have two other Miata projects. Will likely be selling my FM built 2.0 ethanol burning stroker with Garrett 3071 turbo, Level 10 built automatic with Hydra after this sells.

Car is located in Central New Jersey

Selling for $39,000

I am the previous owner of this car, and I'm the person who sent it to FM to be built in 2010. It was a VERY nice and fast car when I sold it to blubeast, and he has taken it to the next level. It would be really tough to find a nicer Laguna Blue example period, never mind with a full FM build!

This was a fantastic build when FM put it together, and it's only become better with the changes. If I weren't already so invested in the 1991 currently at V8R in Daytona, we'd be having a serious conversation.

That said, I'd spend the money for exposure on FM's site. It's pretty small change in the scheme of things, and they seem to have good luck selling better-quality builds there.

Best of luck, and beautiful car! -Matt
