its ugly green, 5 speed, bose, power windows and locks. I could not pass the deal only $2k. I have been looking getting a turbo or SC or maybe even a v8 swap.

Daaaaamn craaaaaazy deal, was it salvaged 4 times or something?
I've been looking for cheap NBs but no luck, best I found was a 99 black LS with 90K for 4800, which in retrospect I shouldve negotiated and pulled the trigger on for. Dah well.

Get a turbo; don't get a V8, it'll upset the balance of the car.

it had to be a great deal for me to buy it with the ugly green.

it seems like there are lots of good SC around for them.

Are you talking about a or a ? Please be more specific, you're causing unnecessary confusion!

This is a miata thread, has to be about the juice.

No way there could be an eight cyl engine with a miata....
