1991 Pit Crew Mazda Miata 1.8 swap JDM 95M seats, 93LE interior

1991 Pit Crew Mazda Miata 1.8 swap JDM RARE
Located in Austin, TX. Clear TX title, registered.
NEW Trans/Clutch/Flywheel/RMS performed at Auto Specialists in Round Rock, TX
~122k mi

This car sports the most iconic nose conversion made for the NA Miata, an extremely rare Pit Crew Racing front end imported from Japan. It's a definitely polarizing look - people either love it or hate it, but it sure is a conversation starter. The front end is $3100 alone plus $600 shipping from japan. There are only a handful of miata's in the USA (4 including this one, to my knowledge) with this front end conversion! This particular front end has been a part of two prominent builds in the US miata community.

Planet Miata in PA performed the 1.8L swap with a 120k engine about 2k miles ago. They also performed a full wire tuck to clean up the typically cluttered miata engine bay. In addition, there are many rare and no longer available parts that I have added to this car. A little more love and this will be one unique, retro miata. Notable additions include a Hard Dog Stainless roll bar, Boig Header and Artech V-band 3" exhaust, Miataroadster short shifter kit, Trackspeed radiator, 93LE parts, new Nitto NT05 205/50/15's and everything marked new below. There was a transmission whine, so this was replaced entirely with a new clutch, flywheel, rear main seal by Auto Specialists (Miata specialist) in Round Rock, TX in Sept 2017.

I had lots of plans for it, but I unfortunately have no place to work on it so it sadly has to go.

still got this one. miataland couldn't get funds together for shipping to italy and such :(

I've added 95 M-edition seats and some Nakamae bits. Negotiable if you don't want some of these easy to remove parts!

I might know a buyer for you, let me reach out to him, he wants back into the Miata scene.

$8900. price drop. can take off easy removable stuff to reduce price to your budget if needed!

I personally think some decent DSLR pics would help the sale, imho. I'd be more than happy to take some for you(free or course because I am a amateur at best), we could set up a date/time. Hit me up if you are interested.

Nice !

Very nice looking car by the way. :8)::8):

Everything is listed in the thread.

*price drop* $7800. can take off easy removable stuff to reduce price to your budget if needed!

still interested in the parts if you do decide to part out :)

good luck with the sale. Wish you were in Australia...very rare to see a pitcrew down here. I only know of one and its in tasmania

Wondering how much importing from Japan would be for you guys, since you are relatively close.

Please don't sell this car by parts! the price is awesome for the car itself

yeah, I agree. unfortunately the buyer pool is very small and I've had 6 serious buyers flake already.

dropping price $6800. i have sold some parts off of it and will part off easy things..

I am so genuinely surprised this has not sold yet

Me too!
In the process of building a Pitcrew myself and having spent years just accumulating the stuff shown here.... And there seems so little interest... unbelievable!

if I wasnt so deep into my build I wouldve bought it already. so many quality parts

I'm in Birmingham, but I am interested in the car. There has been so much back and forth and so much stuff that is listed as extras you have to pay extra for, and so much stuff taken off, can you post a picture of the car the way it sits now and a price for what you are actually getting.

It's a beautiful car and I apologize that I'm a little confused at this point as to what someone would be flying out there and buying.

Thanks...

I only got one message, but from what I now understand it's $6,800 with everything shown except for the chrome bumpers, kg works cluster cover, and the zoom console. Is that right?

zoom tails sold [emoji14]

If this were in my country, it would sell faster than you can say "S-O-L-D"

yeah it looks like i'll have to continue slowly parting it out. msg me if you just want the car and exterior bits and we'll work something out.

Part out is the only way to go. Plus give the parts a fighting chance for good homes vs selling outright and some punk buys it and trashes it.

yeah i tried to hold out, sick of all the flakers though.

let me know if you are interested in anything or the remaining car with pitcrew front!

Well I would say I'm sorry it came to this but in the end you will get more money back. Plus what I said in post #42. It took me less time to sell the majority of the parts from Warbird than it took to get removed. Which is usually the case in a part if quality parts were used.
