1991 STS Miata $6250

Suspension:
700/450lb ERS spring
Koni Sports revalved by true choice 6 months ago, a little more low speed rebound than the race valving
Ground control coil-overs & bumpstops
ISC Shock mounts, 1”, 1.5”
Racing Beat Tubular Front ARB
Aurura 10mm male/female rod ends for endlinks
Stock rear ARB, RB 5/8” rear included
Polyurethane Bushings all around
15x7 Kosei T1S wheels
205/50r15 Dunlop *Specs half tread new this spring
Earls SS brake lines
Brake rotors replaced in the last 20k miles
Hawk carbon metallic pads up front
Hawk HP+ rear pads
Corner Weighted this spring (thanks Rick Harris!)

Drivetrain:

Mazda Crate Motor with less than 15k on it, all new Mazda water hoses put in at the same time.
OBX crank pulley with AC pulley cut off
Racing Beat underdrive water pump and alternator pulleys
Swapped crystal in the stock ECU, ~7600rpm redline
Odyssey PC535 battery in stock location
Cold air intake and heat shield
Ebay RB knock-off header
Borla Catback
Jackson racing (might be FM) high flow cat.
Mazda Comp motor mounts
MMR delrin diff. Mounts
original VLSD diff
Rebuilt shifter.
Mobile 1 synthetic for the motor and redline in the transmission and diff.
The 1-2, 2-3 shifts are a little clunky especially when cold. It hasn't gotten any worse in the 50k miles I've owned the car. If I get time I'll try out some MTL to see if it improves.

chassis:
Chassis has 175,000 miles.
Converted to base model with vinyl wheel, AC delete and manual rack
New Cabrio Wold top two months ago.
Car was repainted less than two years ago in silver stone silver and cosmos black for the hardtop/a-pillar and mirrors. Badges were removed at that time and holes filled. Car is daily driven so normal wear and tear on the paint. No rust at all. I screwed up taping the car so there's some primer over spray in the door jams.
Rear fender wells have been rolled.
Factory hardtop included painted to match.
Driver side seat has some light bolster wear, dash has a crack that was half ass repaired by the previous owner. Factory plastic wear strips on the carpet have come off around the pedals this year in the summer heat, but I've got them still if you know of some way to reattach them.
16x7 Eagle Alloy polished aluminum five spokes
205/45r16/205/50r16 Falcon ziex 912's for street tires Fronts are new this spring and rears are getting down to the wear strips with camber wear.

Spares:
1.6 injectors
1.6 clutch/flywheel
1.8 clutch/flywheel
air flow meter
ignitors/coils
plug wires
A/C and power steering parts
HPS front pads,
stock exhaust, stock shocks/springs
old set of water/heater hoses
A nice OEM sof top cover and a beat up one.
Spare set of beat up floor mats.

As you can see I've spent a lot of time and money prepping this car in the last few years and its very competitive regionally, I just need to learn to drive well enough to take it to the next level. The next thing it needs is a mega-squirt, lightweight exhaust, and a radio delete, things that I didn't feel ready to deal with on a daily driven car.

I've got a kirkey seat I'll include for the asking price, but otherwise I'll keep it for a passenger seat for my other car. I can also set the car up with 550/350 springs if the owner wants a car thats a little more bearable for the street. I can sell without spares, extra wheels, hardtop or partially parted out to sell for less money if wanted but I'm fairly firm on the price as it sits.

I'm open to trades for pickup trucks or a fun good gas mileage car with some cash on top.

And this may be pending already (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I know there are some other guys on here with miatas, what do you guys think of the price? I basically figured I could get $3500 for it de-modded and added up all the parts I could easily strip off and added a couple hundred for all the parts I couldn't easily strip off. I had figured it would take a few months to sell, but a guy from Tennesse may be coming as soon as this sunday to pick it up.

Sorry, mine is in C-Stock, so I can't help you. I haven't priced a conservative STR build.

I might have considered it myself except for the trans issues. Not that what you describe is all that bad; I just have very limited time for working on anything right now. That tiny little trans looks like a breeze to pull compared to fbodies (do you even need a tranny jack?), but I've never tried it.

All in all, it seems like a good package price for a built and sorted car, but I don't know what market price would be.

Yeah, I think I may have just gotten lucky, I've got a few other tire kickers, but nobody really serious besides this guy from TN. My only complaint is that I should've listed it on local websites first to see if I could sell it locally. Of course a local sale can be a curse as you watch your nice car get destroyed over time.

Man after typing out that mod list I realized why I'm so slow getting stuff done on the Trans Am. I need to get it to a finishing point before I do something stupid and pick up another project.

If anyone is in the market, its back up for sale.

The link is no good. Any changes to the car since posting in 10?

[roostmeyer]

I don't know if he pulled the thread because the car sold or he changed his mind and is keeping it.

From what I can tell the only thing he's done is put on new wheels/tires. I'll see if I can drum up an email or phone number from a few years ago if you're interested.
