Absolutely orgasmic... GLWS!!!
Copy/pasting this from another forum. It's hard for me to list the car on this forum because when I do it actually feels "official". I tried to bring myself to sell it last year and didn't have the heart. Even now I'm second guessing my decision every day. The only reason I have to sell it is to move on to the next project because there's not a whole lot more to do with this one.
Several people on this forum can speak to the condition of this car. And currently it's running better than it ever has before thanks to Gary, William and the crew at TDR. This is genuinely a fast turn-key car that you can have a blast with and turn heads in.
Here's the entry from the other forum:
================================================== ==
It's come time to move on to the next project. My Miata is for sale. There is a LOT of work done to this car. Too much to list in detail so I will cover the basics and any seriously interested parties are more than welcome to shoot the breeze with me over the phone or in person for the full story.

Fully resprayed almost 2 years ago. Fully documented here: http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/showthread.php?t=19094
Not daily driven since the respray. Garaged and covered - taken out only on weekends for misc. autocross and HPDE days. The paint is in very good condition. Some minor rock chips on the front bumper is about the extent of it. Otherwise, it looks pristine. Gets compliments everywhere. Car shows, gas stations, red lights, even had a random dude shout props at me from a 993 turbo on Northwest highway at 45mph one night recently.
Factory "large" side skirts. Factory "small" mud flaps. Original JDM Garage Vary front lip and eyelids.

Yup. Gonna stay local. The guy actually works just down the street from where I live. Still won't be a daily driver so it should stay sexy.
