So you may have read earlier that I purchased a 99 NB miata for $900 !

At first you say $900 bucks you’ve done well but then you see the front.. And while I have no photos of the front right now it’s ugly. REAL UGLY . Like no bumper, and Steelies Ugly. The back is equally ugly because of the “Stance”. It’s got what have to be 15x10 wheels with 195’s stretched like a virgin dating Lebron James.

Here’s the game plan.

Get this car to Daily Driver status as fast as possible. There’s a winter a coming and I don’t want to be stuck riding the grom to work. Granted our “winter” is called a nice day in the northern part of this country but us Texans don’t hold up well in the cold.

Soooo Anyone have any miata parts they want to sell !?

I’m so glad you are reclaiming this poor stance vehicle and giving it a real chance at life. I hate what stancing is doing to good cars.

You’re doing the Lord’s work.

Thanks Buddy.

The previous owner kept telling me it’s stock suspension blah blah blah. I kept telling him no it has some type of coil over and finaly he admitted that it’s a stock shock with ebay coil over sleeves.. smh.. poor little car.. KYB shocks and Eibach lowering springs are in route with some nice new bump stops too !

Check out miata.net classifieds. Someone is selling stock shocks/springs for an NB for $60. Wheels are never hard to come by either.

Thank you for doing this, it’s a service to the community. Just make sure not to drive by the previous owner.

Well he was telling me he’s currently in school at UT here in ATX for film. Maybe he’ll buy it back for large amount of money after his next big movie hits the box office.

We have Miata parts. What would you need? I’ll need to talk to my dad to see what he thinks about selling, but for the right prices he can be convinced. We do have a bumper for sure, though. Some pictures of the car pre-crash and post-crash to give you an idea of the parts you probably don’t want. Just shoot me a list and I’ll let him know, otherwise it’s going on craigslist for about $2000 in case someone there wants it.

Indiana. It may be a bit far, unless you’d be willing to have the stuff shipped.
