FS: 1999 Miata

[MoonieGT]

1999 Miata, "fully loaded" with Torsen LSD, leather, power windows, doors, and aftermarket alarm (pics below). Passenger window works great, Driver's window could use a cleaning but works fine. AC blows strong and cold yada yada yada. I do add a bit of oil every couple of months. The car is just over 160k miles, but the engine was rebuilt by John Day ~37,000 miles ago. During the rebuild a lot of other parts were replaced as well (see below). Car runs strong: Enhanced Megasquirt 2 built by Reverant (user on Miataturbo.net), 131 whp & 115 wtrq on a Mustang Dyno (I'm told this equates to ~145 whp & 127 wtrq on a Dynojet fwiw, all I know is throttle response is crisp and the car pulls harder than before). I've had the car since August of 2010. I've taken the car to the track four times, the rest of the time it was my daily driver until April 2012 (finally got a car with a back seat to be my daily).

During the rebuild, the following work was done:
Rebuilt engine (new parts):
rings
bearings
timing belt guide bearings
all belts, gaskets, and hoses
exhaust valve guides

Rebuilt engine (machine work):
balanced reciprocating and rotating assembly
resurfaced flywheel
valve job

Replaced when the engine was rebuilt:
Hondata intake gasket
engine mounts
O2 sensors
cam sensor
coil pack
fuel pump
rear wheel bearings
Exedy Organic clutch
rear diff bushings (Mazdaspeed)
fuel filter
injectors cleaned

FWIW, the original owner of this car is a good friend of mine, and I can vouch that this car has been extremely well maintained since new. Or at least until Moonie bought it.

What's the reason for the sale?

[CosmosMpower]

Is it green or black?

[altiain]

Emerald Mica (green). Same color as my old Miata.

[MoonieGT]

Yes, Emerald Mica. The decision to sell is a difficult one. I love the car and I'm not dying to sell it. I've gotten it in my head that I'd like to try tracking something else. I'd like a bit more power but I don't really want to go the FI route in the miata. Starting a new project just sounds like fun at the moment.

Feedback on price? $8500/$7900 probably high? $7900/$7300 better?

Good car, pulls strong.

It has $1800 worth of dampers and springs alone. I just sold a set of inferior ASTs for $1500 with springs and had to work to get them sold. The going used-price for an EMS2 is between $550 and $700, plus the owner doesn't have to pay $600 in tuning. Keep that in mind with the price.

[MoonieGT]

The shocks were more than that :) They were $2160 (helpers were an additional $260) plus shipping. Worth every penny too.
