    A rebuilt Torsen rearend was installed by previous owner along with the bottom end being rebuilt. I have the receipt for the install of the rearend but as for the bottom end that's all I know.

    I haven't had any issues for a little over a year now since I bought the car. Only had to do regular maintenance

    CUSTOM flyin miata stage 1.5 suspension package - so flyin miata made custom shocks and springs just for that car? ohhhhh do tell

    Rebuilt torsen? So it was taken from the pumpkin and re-sealed with silicone? The fluid was changed? What could have possibly been rebuilt?

    I think $4500 is a bit optimistic...

    Custom as in you can't order it online as mine is.

    according to the receipt, it was removed, seals replaced, resealed, and reinstalled.

    Anymore question feel free to text or call me as I only check here once a day. My number is in the CL ad

    It's black, it has cloth seats, black carpet, tan door panels and tan/black dash. So both.

    Yep it does.

    Ha it's expected. Plus instead of spending an hour of time to meet up and see the car people just want to hassle and haggle before even seeing or driving it. Not like the old days.

    People are busy these days, no one wants to drive out to see a car if it's potentially a POS.

    front sway bar - http://flyinmiata.com/index.php?dept...0%20%201990-93


    You're right...how ever would someone order that one of a kind custom made suspension...WOW :)


    The ad is just misleading. A custom suspension implies something like custom valved shocks, springs rates not normally available, a custom one off set of shock mounts or a blade type sway bar. Something not just run of the mill like every FM 1.5 kit that was sold in the early 2000's like you have here.

    There is nothing misleading. You are just trying to be an asshole because you have nothing better to do. What it has is listed in the ad, if you have nothing positive to add and are not interested in buying you can move on

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/customized

    customized (as in CUSTOM flyin miata suspension) - to modify or build according to individual or personal specifications or preference.

    So tell me again how this suspension was fully built to your personal specifications? It wasn't.

    So someone may assume the shocks are something special...they're not. None of it is. It's a beat up ass miata with a crap body and a hardtop that can be found anywhere with some parts. It's a $3500 car.


    Quit thinking people who know WTF they are talking about are going to be interested or fooled. LOL.

    That's my issue. If you didn't imply something was custom when it's clearly not there wouldn't be an issue besides the high price. :)

    Cheers friend :)
