1993 Mazda MX-5 Miata

1993 Mazda Miata MX5, NA Generation, JM1NA3516P041240

  • Purchased in Santa Monica California, 1993
  • One owner, me
  • Red/Black
  • Electric mirrors
  • Manual windows
  • Black interior
  • Tonneau cockpit cover
  • 1/2 soft top tonneau cover
  • Rear spoiler
  • Front splitter

This car can go in some different directions:

  • Add a roll cage, race seat and MOMO steering wheel and go to the track. It has everything needed to enjoy track days and autocross.
  • Make it into a class race car, I was going to buy a junkyard 1.8L motor ($1,200) and join the Super Miata Series here in California. You have lots of competitive options with this car: NASA, SCCA etc.
  • Use it at a fun beach car. Change the race springs for street springs ($180), remove the turbo and enjoy this car on the street
  • I was headed down the track car / race path but things have come up and I've decided to go into another direction with another car.

    Condition

    • 62890 Miles
    • Runs, shifts, turns, and brakes great
    • SoCal car, always garaged, rust free car
    • Oil changed every 3000 miles
    • Very well maintained car
    • The paint is a 4 out of 10, with 8 being a new car (10 = show car)If I were going to keep the car as a street car, in a year or two I'd respray the hood and front bumper. Most people think it looks just fine. As a track car the paint is perfect.
    • There are a number of small door dings that can be removed via the paint-less method if you are going to turn this into a street car.
    • Several minor insurance claims. I had an employer paid insurance policy that I used to my maximum benefit including making small cosmetic ding and dent repairs. See the Autocheck.
    • This is a straight car with no structural damage. You can inspect the car on my 4 post lift and see that the car is straight and rust free
    • CA Non Op registration status
    • Clean title
    • Clean Autocheck

    Wheels

    • 949 Super Miata Wheels - new, <20 miles, 15x8. These are fantastic, light weight wheels.
    • Toyo Proxy R1R rain race tires - new <20 miles, heat cycled by the Tire Rack. Super sticky tires. All four are 225/45/15
    • 949 Super Miata extended APR studs, new
    • 949 Super Miata lug nuts, new, super light

    Suspension (arguably the best, most venerated suspension kit for a track focused Mazda Miata, the 949 Super Miata Big Grip.)

    • 949 Super Miata XITA 700 pound front springs and dampers (love these). New, < 20 miles
    • 949 Super Miata XITA 400 pound rear springs and dampers (love these). New, < 20 miles
    • 949 Super Miata suspension bushings, new, correctly installed by West End Alignment. This really tighten up the car. Removing the old bushings and installing the new bushings was no small task. This took over 16 hours of labor to do it carefully and correctly
    • 949 Super Miata front sway bar, new, / adjustable links / bushings
    • 949 Super Miata rear sway bars, new / adjustable links / bushings. This sway bars are perfect for this car
    • Manual rack, converted power rack. Converted by Miata Cage. A power rack is faster and makes a better manual rack. I think that this really makes the driving experience terrific and very engaging, perfect for a track car
    • Inner tie rods, new
    • Outer tie rods, new
    • New lower ball joints
    • New upper ball joints
    • New OEM concentric suspensions bolts
    • Track alignment by Daren at West End Alignment in Torrance California

    Brakes

    • Wilwood front caliper, street pads, quiet
    • Stainless brake lines
    • 1994 rear discs and calipers (larger than '93s)
    • Street pads, 60%

    Gearbox

    • Heavy Clutch (forgot model)
    • Light flywheel (forgot model), right clutch, not too heavy, no slip
    • Redline gear oil in the OEM gearbox
    • 1994 OEM torsion differential and axels
    • 1994 OEM rear brakes (larger than 1993)
    • New OEM shifter bushings and shifter seals

    Engine

    • 949 Super Miata radiator. This radiator performs much better than the single and the double core OEM radiators. It is remarkable how this moves BTUs. This cooling system is filled with distilled water and Redline Water Wetter
    • Mocal oil cooler
    • Remote oil filter kit
    • New OEM lower front pan [these get scratch up]. You can cut a hole in the front pan that will flow high volume air over the molal oil cooler and would be good to do if you take this to the track
    • AVO big turbo with about 9 psi and putting out about 185 HP. This engine turbo will put out about 210 to 225 HP by simply turning up the boost and dyno tuning. If I were going down that path, properly, I would enlarge the turbo outlet pipe to the intercooler. It is too restrictive above 18psi, but is perfect for the lower boost / air density. This turbo is very similar to the Flyin' Miata turbo
    • Flyin' Miata Link ECU firmware
    • Large intercooler
    • Link Engine Management. While this is 'old tech', it does work very well. I'm including a notebook PC load with software so that you can dyne tune this car. The new ECUs have little advantage IMO and see no reason to update
    • High flow RC injectors, serviced and flow bench calibrated by RC recently
    • BSP high flow exhaust. I'd eventually replace it with a lighter exhaust
    • Partial HVAC removal. The compressor is out. It comes with the car. The OEM lines and coils are still in the car. If you want HVAC, you can rebuild the pump and install it
    • Ignition coils, new
    • Ignition wires, new
    • Spark plugs new
    • Fuel filter, new
    • Water pump, new
    • Timing belt, new
    • New thermostat
    • Wrapped silicon radiator hoses
    • CA CARB EO supercharger sticker

    • Redline oil used since new
    • Battery, new

    • BSP rear sub brace
    • Racing Beat front sub brace
    • BSP upper rear brace
    • Rear strut bar brace
    • BSP low profile head lights (these look great)
    • BSP aluminum parking brake handle (great feel)
    • BSP aluminum heavy shift knob. (this make shifting this great gearbox really terrific)

    • Rolled fenders, liners removed.

    Spares

    • I have a box of parts that comes with the car
