$500 non running Miata. It runs now, but its rough. May be a missile 13B swap project.

I think “I just bought a $500 NA that’s mostly solid” is actually considered cause for people to try to hate you to death.

This is the only thing that matters. Who cares about the motor if you got a rust free Miata for less than a grand. Just gives an excuse to LS swap!

I want to say that something looks off with the paint. I cant tell if it’s faded paint, a subpar respray, or dipped. Looks good if there isn’t a bunch of rust under there.

That’s exactly what I thought. It’s a darker shade respray.

How is the tune with a carby vs. fuel injected? I was thinking NA 13B for now and then adding the T later with my Holset HX35.

Is it like a matte color used? Or just not a very shiny clearcoat? Maybe its just because im so used to the classic Miata red.

But its already been done so well! I would love to LS swap my Miata if the motor ever decides to give up the ghost and the body hasn’t rusted all the way away yet.

That’s why I don’t want to do it. LS swaps are dime a dozen, you can literally buy a bolt in kit...

its faded something fierce so it’s almost matte. I’m thinking of painting it maybe lava orange.

If you plan on adding turbo save yourself the trouble and find a 4port turbo keg. Check rx7club out pretty sure a few Miata guys who may have some advice.
But the s5 na I say carb because it’s cheaper and easier to make a bit more power. Unless you really wanna stay EFI you would need a stand alone ecu 800$+ which isn’t really worth the gains IMO unless it’s ported.

I’m looking for something along those lines (and price) to create one of these...

That’s what the parts car suspension is being saved for.
