Default My new old 94 Miata

So I've never been able to justify buying an s2k (expensive insurance, no garage, etc...)

After looking at other options, I finally decided on a Miata...

So much fun driving it home (over 1.5-2 hour drive)
All top down - through rain and sun lol - it poured for like 3 miles (luckily I was going 70 so didn't get wet) and then it was baking hot for a while.
Its only made me want an s2k so much more!

Here are the pictures from seller...

And another link (same images)

For those interested I paid $3500 for it with 151k miles.

My fav pic...

Sorry about that.

--Upgrades--
Has a racing beat type 2 nose and rear bumper
Some exhaust - not like a fart can at all.
Err does a new soft top and full tonneau cover count? lol

Its just loud and slow but its my first RWD and stick - so much fun just cruising!

Very nice. Looks to be in great shape for a 94. Most people consider that to be the best year for the NA.

I really like the front and rear bumpers. All you need to do now is get rid of those nasty Chinese made Prime Well tires.

If the car has a K&N filter or anything in the same vein you may do well to remove it and go back to the stock paper. The oiled filters have a habit of clogging up the MAF and/or some smaller holes in the valve cover that results in a CEL and a fun hour of your time wasted. I've done this twice.

For that matter make sure you check the rocker panel drains now and then they also like to clog up with debris and retain water in bad places.

Otherwise, a great looking car. There are just too many ways to improve on what is already a great car for not much money that I won't begin to bore you.
