Up for sale is my LS swapped Mazda Miata. This isn’t your average Miata, or your average LS swap for that matter. The attention to detail that I put into this car is evident in the pictures. It shows just as well in person, no camera magic.

The car was built with reliability, performance and quality in mind. But it is a bare bones car, I sacrificed a handful of creature comforts in the name of simplicity. The car doesn’t have AC/heat, or cruise control. The interior is set up to be comfortable on the street but safe and capable of track use. I’ve driven the car about 10,000 miles or so since the conversion was completed in March of 2017. Wouldn’t hesitate to drive the car across country.

Overall the vehicle is in excellent shape and doesn’t really need anything except a new owner. Please message me for further details.

$20k Partial trades may be accepted (but be realistic) Dirtbike, s chassis, r32, jzx 90, 350z, driftcars are some potential things id be interested in.

That’s just a wonderfully sorted V8Miata. Seen it, (almost) touched it, and listened to its nasty bark when the key is turned on at MATG ‘17 pretty soon after its debut, I’d guess. Probably the nicest one I’ve seen and followed along on Steve’s build thread. New owner will be quite happy for some time..! GLWS.

Any interest in an ls1 Miata? 5.7 and t56 from an 04 GTO. Big brake kit from iemotorsport - 6 piston front brake kit, msd 2 step. Wide body kit. I’ve always wanted a Miata!

The turn signals work, speedometer works but not the tach. The dmv at my area just puts a sensor on my hood to detect revolutions. Could be resolved with an aftermarket tach. To get the current tach to work it would need a tuner to read properly. When I wire it up l, it just reads half of what the correct RPM should be.

Heater core and power steering are working fine. Lights are fine. Passed Delaware emissions fine this fall. I can send more videos pictures and info directly if you’d like. The drivetrain is all stock and new.
