THE ROADSTER:
1992 Miata LS with hardtop.
This was a one owner car that I purchased sight unseen out of Austin, Texas in May 2015
117,667 miles.
Very nice rust free body and chassis.
It does have slightly faded crystal white paint, paint chips, and some hail dents in the hood.
However it should clean up real nice to be the perfect 10 footer.
That will encourage me to make it a driver’s machine versus a show piece.
Future stone chips will add to its character!
Hopefully the car will not develop the infamous crystal white paint curse.
The interior is very nice!
I like a black interior with a white car.
The wood grain trim added by the previous owner isn’t that bad.
I may just keep the wood grain trim and wipe any retro thinking out of my brain for a while.
I have no idea if the soft top is any good or not.
I will find out later after I get the Moss hardtop hoist.
The 1.6 engine has an older, low psi BEGI turbo system using the stock ECU.
Hey, check out that cold air intake location…
That probably sums up the performance and state of tune.
So the MiataQuest begins…
