WTB nice quality LS powered Miata
As the title says, I am looking for a nice quality build, preferably an NB but will consider all years.
Upset that I let Turboboost's car slip through my fingers. PM with what you have. Thanks, Jeff |
What's your price range?

Hard to find. There's an NC that's been listed on FM for a while. Curious myself why so many go MM instead of LS. Guess it's just $$$. Had mine a week and worth every penny so far. Good luck.

The less I feel I need to change on a particular car the more I will be willing to pay. I would like a car with A/C, coil overs, and a straight body with decent paint. I would like to be in the mid teens somewhere depending on the car maybe a bit more.
If I have to pay in the $20's I'll get another Z06 for wider appeal on resale. |

Black one in NY? More than I'm willing to pay for a Miata.

You may get lucky. I didn't have the patience to be lucky. But had zero desire for a Vette (nothing against them, just not for me). Again, good luck. |
Forget about resale there is a buyer for every car. Buy the car you love be it a vette or a Miata. You should know that apples for apples and dollar for dollar there is not a vette on the planet that will keep up with the same level v8 Miata.

I race an NB Spec Miata and have been wanting to try an LS powered one for a couple of years now. I may end up building my own if I can't find a nice one to buy. |

You hop in a vette after racing spec and it will feel like you are in a school bus on the track they are so big. Where you are located?

Mid teens will get you a nice Ford with what some of what you're hoping to find on it. If you do find an LS in that price range I'd be very worried about the build quality.
Good luck though, -Jason |
Update: I have started down the road toward building a car. I bought some parts from a guy who decided not to build. I have what is basically the FM LSx install kit, a CTS diff, Wilwood clutch master, and a set of FM headers. I am looking for the right NB donor. My buddy has an aluminum block 5.3 that we may end up using but I am thinking it may not have enough power. Thinking just a cam swap and LS6 intake.
Should be a fun ride. |
cam and intake on the 5.3 will yield plenty of smiles to the ground. Sounds like you have a good start on a fun project.
