    Default Feeler: 2000 Miata

    Sport package (basically a front fascia, side skirts and mud flaps).
    Has cruise control, power windows, manual locks
    4.1 Torsen
    5 speed
    new top (plastic window)
    Hard Dog Hard Core DD m2 roll bar with padding & cover
    149k miles
    new timing belt, water pump, brake pads, rotors, lines, fluid in the last month
    brake pads are Axxis Ultimate, rotors are Napa Premium, fluid is Amsoil, lines were from 949racing
    previous owner replaced the alternator, master cylinder and radiator
    AC works fine (as does the heater)
    compression and leakdown are fine
    replaced the coils and fuel pump (used parts)
    OBX headers
    crappy ebay catback (have the stock too)
    Flyin' Miata sways, springs and illumina shocks
    NB2 center console
    ~6000 miles on Dunlop Star Spec tires


    The bad:
    paint blemishes (it *really* needs a detail)
    has a CEL P0420 (cat is dead)
    drivers seat has a tear and has been foamectomied
    floor mats are faded
    radio cuts out (well the display does) intermittently (I have an NB2 double din replacement with the harnesses as well)
    passenger window is slow
    top molding around the drivers window needs adjusted (phillips head screws). Top doesn't leak.

    Runs strong and is fun to drive, but I need something with 4 seats again (trying to summon the stork).

    $5000?

    And before anyone goes e-detective on me, yes I bought the car for $2500 in May. However since then I've done the following:
    - tires
    - brakes
    - exhaust (with a cat, but it was a crappy eBay one that died from the coils being bad)
    - new top
    - roll bar
    - interior bits that needed replaced
    - timing belt/water pump/all the misc seals with this (actually Track Dog did this)
    - all driveline fluids (some twice, I'm looking at you diff)
    - new shifter boots
    - torsen diff
    - fuel pump
    - coils/plugs/wires
    - suspension change (I wanted something fun and streetable)
    - cam position sensor

    I also have the energy suspension bushing kit that goes with the car. I was going to install it over Christmas.

    I'd be interested in the sways, rollbar (if it fits a hardtop), and possibly bushings if you want to part with some items.

    So, I'm guessing you are no longer interested in the seats?

    Nope, he wants a silver NB2. Guy from Austin happened to be up here visiting family and it's what he was looking for.

    I'm sure there will be a string of 75* days with clear weather next week just to remind me :)

    So, does this mean you'll stop coiming here?
