FS: 2006 Mazda MX-5 Sport 6mt, STR-prepped. Trophy winner!

I am preparing a detailed listing, but for now I will give the basics and answer questions via pm. Many of you know the car. It has a strong pedigree as a well-setup STR autocross car and is also very competent in the few track days I've attended. Ran a 1:26.8 at MSR 1.7cw on Saturday on RS3's.

The car is brilliant black with black top and interior. Never wrecked, mostly garaged and looks very good. Had the front bumper resprayed recently due to stone chips.

Tinted windows
17x9 Kosei K1-TS wheels(anthracite grey)with Hankook V12 tires in 255/40-17, also able to offer a set of RS3 autocross tires and/or factory wheels/tires.

Have quite a few other accessories and spares that can be negotiated in or out of a deal. If the buyer prefers a less- modified setup, I will return to oem parts and reduce the price accordingly.

Asking price with above mods/autocross ready: off the market

Bone stock: $11,000

Say it ain't sooooo!!!! I just moved to STR to learn from the bandit!

I put some miles on this car driving to Lincoln, NE and back in it, and I can say that it is quite comfy. In Mike's hands, it has set plenty of FTDs at events. It would make a great AX/daily driver as is. If you are looking for a fun NC, this is it.

Also, don't forget the previous celebrity ownership.

This is a very fast and very nicely setup NC....super competitive in STR! GLWS Mike!

Yes it is very fast and well prepped. I held up Mike couple of times this weekend on the 1.7CW. 1:26.8 is smoking fast!

GLWS!

Don't get too upset WMR, I'm not leaving STR, just moving to an NC2.

Didn't this car also belong to Jon Voight?

Well, John Voight, at least.

Let me know if parts come off it Mike. I'd like the LSD and maybe the intake.

How many miles are on the suspension?

Maybe 10-12k? I refreshed the dampers when I upped the spring rate last year, since ET was willing to swap my old ones for fresh ones to see how they were wearing. The previous damps had around 25k miles with no leaks or problems.

For everyone, I plan to build another STR NC2, so no parts will be sold until after that project is built, if at all. I will post about that if I end up with extras. Right now I have a nice set of wheels/tires in the classifieds. I do not intend to pull anything from this NC unless a buyer wants it in stock form. Turnkey FTW, baby!

I too can attest that this is a well set up car. In the hands of a capable driver like Mikey, it is an FTD candidate every time.

I think he took the seat out that Voight's daughter sat in. It is my understanding that he is trying to bottle the scent as air freshener :D

NC2 because you impeded a NC2? ;)

Mike has done a great job sorting out this car. I drove it pretty recently and it is very good. There is a noticeable power increase over stock.

Good luck with the sale!

Wish I had the cash...

Sell the two you've got now, that'll get you most of the way there!

This is a great car that is very dialed in. Someone will get a very competitive STR car with this deal.

The car I was looking at as a replacement is gone, and I haven't found anything else in my price range that fits the bill. Looks like fate intends for the Bandit to stay put. Can't say that I'll mind. :)

You want this locked up?

yep. Thx.

In before the lock!

Last in!

do you have this problem at home?
