Why a 2001? (Keep in mind this question is coming from the owner of a 2002! :wink:)

You are aware of the VVT motor's love for the finer grades of petrol?

But I do agree with your concern about the Green Miatas! :lol:

Is that because they usually beat the yellow and black ones? :drive: :punchout:

Good to see someone is calling about it! I just saw it in the pointy board and thought someone should pick it up since it's local and looks like a pretty good deal.

As far as it being a aftermarket turbo, I'd much rather buy a flyin miata turbo car than a custom kit or a greddy kit with a lot of mods. FM seems to have a pretty bullet proof bolt on system.

yeah, but i dont know how this guy treated it. with a stock miata, people buy them just to have a fun little convertible. when you drop $4K on a turbo kit, you apparently like to go real fast too. :D

im still going to try and get ahold of the guy.

I don't thinks it's a bad deal. I'd buy it if I wasn't so darn happy with my '97, and if it had "barn doors";) The turbo was put in by the master of Turbo, so I'd not be afraid of it, not only that the turbo is only boosting to 10psi (limited by the piggy-back link), therefore the engine should enjoy many many more miles of trouble free service.

Besides just because you have all that power doesn't mean you abuse the car. It's just there for when you need it :D :burnrubr: Besides, a new/used motor isn't that expensive, as long as you don't let Kags drive or build it. :rolleyes:

I think the shameless plugs at Zoom Zoom Live may be bringing some out of hiding.

OK, got a little more info on the car or actually more about the owner. The owner is a friend of one of my coworkers. If I remember correctly, he's a spec miata guy and an instructor at motorsport ranch. A real car guy.

The car was built by Corky Bell so I'm sure it was set up right. Let us know how it goes.

i went and took a look at the 99 FMII. it looked pretty good. i went for a ride in it, the engine sounded fine, and pulled like CRAZY!!!:burnrubr: after we got back to his house he asked if i wanted to drive it, it didnt take long to make up my mind. the transmission definatly feels like it has issues. in not sure what it is, but it doesnt shift right. it shifter is chopped, but i doubt that has much to do with the problem. it is VERY vague, instead of shifting into gear it felt more like it fell into the gear that you aimed it to. it was loose and floppy very un-miata-like. it ground twice trying to put it into 5th with the clutch to the floor. (synchros?) ahhhh- the clutch. the clutch is rediculously heavy. i mean wayyyyy heavy. its up there with a 400 hp FD that i drove once with an aftermarket clutch on it.

i liked the car, all that the power was a blast, but that tranny has probs. its not worth $12,000 like that.
