Emissions legal! Inspected, tagged and passed emissions in Colorado.
This has been an ongoing project for several years. I swapped in the rx7 drive train and used a NA engine which runs like a top but is lacking the kick these have at lower elevations. Still better than the MG engine. I thought this car would qualify for classic tags, but it doesn't. Anyway, I've lost interest, clean title, but not currently insured or registered. The car is over 95% done but will need some very minor work to be finished.
Starts, idles and runs great - was being built to be daily drivable, fast on the road and handle very well. Has over sized sway bars front and rear, tube shock conversion in rear,
4 wheel disk brakes, limited slip 4:11 rear axle, 5 speed manual trans, new clutch,
pressurized struts for hood and trunk (HUGE improvement)Front suspension all rebuilt - urethane bushings throughoutStainless linesDual handle turning brakesRuns cool
Autometer gauges, 12 speaker stereo w/ amps.
new tires, leather miata seats, new stainless brake lines, all new brakes, all new suspension bushings, new soft top, but also has somewhat rare hard top, new windshield, new dashboard, new carpet, 2 years left on battery warrantee.
Still needs radio replaced (new CD stereo included). Paint is decent but has a few trouble spots. Fires right up and Runs great!
Aluminum door panels (swirl brushed) included but not yet installed.Chrome trim was painted black which in my opinion looked much better, but very chipped. I had a quote for $180 to have the trim, headlight rings, wiper arms and cowl vent powder coated.There are 2 small dents in the body - and not sure why, but the paint on the trunk lid sux - bubbled in spots. Also the hood right up front has some paint flaws.
Here's a video to a cold start: here
