Purdy car. Anyone want to buy a red '99 Sport-ectomy? ;)
Beautiful car. If I didn't have one already, I'd scoop this one up in a heartbeat!
Great price too!
ditto!, I would have bought this a couple months ago.
hmmmmm..... too bad it's a 6-speed :(
Great color, works very well on the MX-5. I wish I could afford to upgrade my daily to a NC.

Come on guys...tell your buddy's...I am a motivated seller here...will even throw in a Cobra radar detector that is hardwired.
Can't get a new toy until old toy is sold...CEO's orders. :D
..unfortunately, I bought mine a couple of weeks before I saw yours. Come out to the wednesday nite get together.
From what i have been reading the 6 speed is a much better gearbox than the 5 speed version.Quote:

And from my understanding the SPEC racers are choosing 6 speeds after breaking their 5 speeds.
Boy thats tempting... great price!
Agree...the 6 speeds are a little "notchy" when they are brand new but after about 10k miles and some Redline MT-90...its smooth as silk now.Quote:

How does one find out where/when the Wed. nite outing is? Mailing list...specific thread?Quote:

Interesting... granted this comment is 10 months old, but 2007 Mazda Cup Champ Jason Saini says HERE: We have since gone back to the 6-speed, as despite it's problems, is a much stronger/beefier and better transmission.Quote:

Runis: Look under drives and events for Eastside WNG. Wednesday Nite Get-together. Usually we meet in Plano but the location isn't decided on until Wed. afternoon. Be great to see your NC there.
thats the article i read too Titus.
I conceed to Jason........ He's the man :)
Yep. In fact, the Mazda 6-speed on the MX-5 is good enough that Mazda his ditched the craptastic Aisin 6-speed in the '04-'08 RX-8s and put the MX-5 box in for '09.Quote:

Wish I could say the same for my right rear brake caliper... :(
You're talking to a guy that launches cars off the line at 6000 rpms remember ;)Quote:

A co-worker bought an 06 Sport NC from Carmax 2 Fridays ago and heard strange noises from the engine the following day. He brought it back to Carmax and the car was taken to a Mazda Dealership where the diagnosis of 'it needs a new engine' was made. The car had only 9,000 miles!!! Good thing Carmax has the 3 or 5 day return policy.
I forwarded your craigslist ad to him just in case he'd be interested in yours.
so is the car still available?
