Default 1997 LS1/T56/8.8 Miata (sold)

Hi all, I bought this car about 3 years ago from this site. I may need to sell my Miata if my offer on a new home without a garage goes through. Perhaps it is best for my car so that it will not be outside in the north east weather. This was a Georgia car and brought to Delaware where it was only taken out of the garage on nice days.

Can't see in the pics, is there a soft top? Any amenities like AC, power steering, etc? Can you post pics of the interior? Brakes upgraded? Was it ever on a dyno? Any other extras with the car? Anything the car needs currently? I'm on the opposite side of the country, very interested and would love to know more but it's not exactly easy to pop over for a test drive! 😉 as many pics and as much info as you can supply would be a big help.

Driving and walk around vid would be great too!

Hello there, I apologize for the delay. Soft top- yes it has one in good condition with the leather cover and sale will come with the project GLA bikini top and soft top. I changed the power windows to crank windows.

No AC or power steering. Brakes are stock, but it works fine unless you want to track it. Uploading pictures of it on a scale.

Currently servicing the rear with new fluids and reseal.

Car needs- a horn. I have one wired but it’s on a separate button from the steering wheel. Just preference.

Paint - there are chips and dings. Paint is a 7/10. Passenger mirror has clear coat coming off. I decided two years ago to use the money to upgrade the rear instead of getting paint/body work done so I can drive it more and worry less about paint.

Previous owner had it dynoed with whp and torque at 398.



You can check my social via Instagram for some videos of it. Roccojrf is the username. Im having trouble uploading videos on this forum.

Price negotiable? I’d like AC and at least a big rake kit and possibly repaint/cleanup. Thank you.

Hi, the builder is Michael from Georgia. I have his contact if needed. No documentation, I do have receipts for when I bought the rear diff mount, hubs, axles and driveshaft upgrade. Parts list above for any maintenance needed in the future. This is a v8 roadsters kit Miata.

Hi there! Just drove my car into my new home a few days ago. This one has a nice garage. For sentimental reasons I will not be selling the car at this time. Thank you all for reaching out to me. If anything changes in the future I will make another update.

I unexpectedly had to replace our HVAC and will need a roof in a year or two. I am needing a new daily soon too so I could use the cash with this sale. Homeowner life comes first! Car is back up for sale 😁

Hello,

I do not have the funds to put this in for you but any shop can install the lines for you as that will be the only custom part of the process. F body compressor, stock miata evap and condenser.


edit: sold on 1/28/2023
