Good:
Fun, in really good shape for the miles, great weekend track/fun car. Garaged its entire life. I bought it from the original owner who used it as a weekend play toy and I garage it as well. It had a supercharger on it, but I swapped on the turbo stuff.
AC blows cold, temp runs a lot cooler with the FM fans
Clutch has 9k miles
Tires 6kish miles

Not as good: (I'm pretty picky so take it for what its worth..)
WG is VTA, stock midpipe and the downpipe hangs a little low. The factory brace has to be spaced to clear, but I left it off to clear speed bumps where I live. A few door dings, nothing big but they are there so I am mentioning it. Needs some fine tuning with the Emanage. It runs a little more rich out of boost than I* would like. Has a pretty aggressive AutoX esque alignment. Kumho tires are more noisy than I would like.

Reason for selling:
I am in school, trimming the fat... moving closer so don't need the MPG.

Better pics to follow, going to get it buffed out and cleaned this week. http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/3091215104.html pic on craigslist for now

Looking for an 01 to 06.

Usually the "regulars" around these parts comment on the for sale posts. Just wondering why nobody commented on this one...

Does this look like a good car that could be a daily and occasional weekend warrior (autocross, for now)?

I'll be wanting to upgrade to a turbo on any Miata I get, so this solves that issue. Wondering if the parts he has on it sound like a good set up.

I noticed a 60k mile service done earlier this year. Car has 130k+ mi. I'm guessing he is just referring to type of maintenance performed for this particular service...

Any advice or opinions, please chime in!

[fwMiata]

This one has 93k on it.

This one has 93k on it.

Lol. My bad... I think that was the other '03 I was looking at...

Did you move out of town or are you still around DFW? Is the car still for sale?

[fwMiata]

yes just moving across town to the NW part of FW to be closer to school.

Yes still for sale.

[CosmosMpower]

What kind of power does it make?

[fwMiata]

Drop $7500

[deano]

You ever get it dyno'd?

Did you do the majority of the turbo install yourself?

[fwMiata]

no, no need to dyno it. low estimate 200whp. Feels quick and fun. Feels ALOT faster than it was SC with 189whp.

some of the install. some was done by TDR before I bought it. I bought it SC, hated the SC put the turbo on, love it now. this is my second turbo miata.
