There is no reserve. Do not worry about your valuable attention being wasted, the auction will not be ended early. At the end of this listing, someone, possibly you, will be happier by a factor of one Miata. Mechanical: The engine starts easily with no smoke, rattles, or ticks. No warning lights are ever illuminated It runs smoothly from idle to redline, and has solid oil pressure at all times. I have always used the appropriate Mobil1 in the crankcase, transmission, and differential. The ignition plugs & wires have about 3,000 miles on them, and are oem NGK parts. The injectors are a stock set from a 1999 Miata, and have been matched and flow tested. This car dyno'd just a little more than a hundred horsepower to the tires, which is consistent with a healthy engine. It is equipped with the Torsen Limited-Slip differential, which works perfectly and quietly. The only modification to the drivetrain is a stainless-steel Borla cat-back exhaust, which not only sounds great, but weighs about half as much as the factory setup. The A/C system worked fine, but then I realized this was a convertible, so I removed what I considered 30lbs of dead weight. I will include at no additional charge, a Goodyear timing belt component kit and OEM water pump. Suspension: Within the last 1000 miles I have installed a Flyin' Miata's V-Maxx Adjustable Coilover/Strut setup. It also has a set of their adjustable sway bars, with adjustable end links. Between that and the rubber, a lateral-G is easily within reach. Brakes: 5000 miles ago I replaced all four calipers, all four rotors, all the pads, and all the fluid. Electrical: 12 months ago I installed a 500cca Lithium-Ion battery, that weighs 3 lbs. The Stereo system is terrific. It has a "Heavy-Duty" series Jensen head unit, meaning it is moisture and dirt resistant, and can be read easily in direct sunlight. There are USB and mini-jack inputs on the front of the CD player. I removed the interior of the car and re-wired the door speakers directly to a 75w-rms/channel amplifier in the trunk. The door speakers are just the nicest set of Polk 6.5" separates you can find. There is no distortion, even at surprisingly high volume. Exterior: I keep it garaged at all times. There has never been any rust. All of the body panels are original, and all the paint is original, and I wax it often. As you may know, the hood is aluminum. It has some hail dings in it that the rest of the car doesn't have, due to the softer metal. On the passenger side there is some damage that I have tried to highlight in pictures. The plastic rear panel that goes around the tail lights has two cracks, also seen in the pictures. The front fascia has a 1" crack on the passenger side. The fabric on the convertible top is better than nothing, it will keep the sun off you. Unfortunately it's about as effect at keeping the interior dry as standing next to the car and holding an umbrella. Interior: Very clean. No odors. No stains. No burns. I replaced the plastic bezel surrounding the gauge cluster with a new OEM piece, since they apparently crack and rattle. That shifter is a genuine MOMO knob that fits tightly to the stock shaft. The steering wheel is a very nice NOS piece I found three years ago, as the leather on the original one was cracking. The only bad news is that when I installed the aftermarket tweeters in the doors, the vinyl on the door cards split on one side, illustrated in the pictures. The drivers window regulator requires significantly more effort than the passenger one, not sure what's going on there. There is a four inch long crack in the windshield down close by the dash. It's been there three years and hasn't spread at all. Frankly, I kind of forgot it's there. Rolling Stock: If I have to explain why these are awesome, this may not be the car for you. The wheels and tires have ~500 miles on them. They are genuine ATS 15" Cup wheels, wrapped in 225-width BFGoodrich Rival tires. I cannot overstate how high the limits of adhesion are on these tires. It's like putting on a super-suit that is not subject to the laws of physics. They do not rub under any circumstances. The auction winner will be entitled to purchase some additional goodies at very attractive prices1) Flyin' Miata Butterfly Brace and Frame rail kit & strut tower brace signed by Keith Tanner. $6002) Flyin' Miata coolant reroute kit. $2003.)Stock 14" Aluminum wheels this car was delivered from the factory with $75 Ask all the questions you want. If your question is dumb, or I answered it already in the description, I reserve the right to respond sarcastically. I don't want to sell this car in the first place. So the thought of some normal shmuck who doesn't even read descriptions winning this car could be too much for me. There will be no surprises. I have been selling on ebay for over a decade, including other vehicles. I'm willing to help with shipping, or if you want to fly-&-drive. Don't be the least bit concerned about making it home. This car will do it. I posted some more photos on my face book page:Search "The Vehicle Rescue", and you'll find a crap ton of pictures in the album entitled "Sleepy".
