SOLD
My (NASA classing) TTE legal Miata is officially available for sale (I think it's a flywheel sway away from being IT legal). I also have for sale:
I'm asking $8,000 for the Miata. I'm open to reasonable offers.

Overview
I became the third owner of this Miata in the fall of 2006. At that point the car was a daily driver / autocross car in SCCA CSP autocross class. It was extremely competitive and — had I been motivated enough to go to all points events — could have trophied at the regional level or possibly higher for the season. I autocrossed the car from 2006 through 2009 before starting to track it. It has since done about six HPDE events. The car has an Emerald Green Mica body, silver hardtop, and white interior. The previous owner put in a new motor at 100k miles (body now has 140k miles). The car will come with Rota Circuit-8 15″ wheels with fairly used Dunlop Z1 Star Spec tires in 205/50-15. According to the scales at CMP it weighs 2223 with half a tank of gas and no driver.
The Good:
The car drives and handles great. The car is very predictable and inspires confidence when driving. The transmission shifts well and the engine pulls as well as you would expect a Miata to do. Additionally, the check engine light is still present and functions, but is not lit.
The Bad:
The body is not perfect – the car has lightly contacted tire walls twice. As such, the body has slight dents, but nothing major. The tires on the car need replacement.
Modifications:
Suspension / Brakes:
Tein SS 1-way adjustable coil overs (put on by the previous owner — owner #2)
Super Poly polyurethane bushings at all 22 points in the A-Arms
Racing Beat front sway bar, no rear bar on the car (stock rear bar included with purchase)
Carbotech XP10 and XP8 brake pads in the front and rear (respectively)
Stock power steering still connected
Engine / Exhaust:
Lightweight flywheel (not sure of weight / brand, put on by owner #2)
Monsterflow cold air intake. Stock intake included with sale.
Racing Beat 4-to-1 exhaust header. Stock included with sale.
Roadster Sport cat-back exhaust with high flow cat mid-pipe
Factory limited slip differential
Air conditioning removed, heater core still in place and connected for defog in rainy conditions
Koyo 54mm radiator
Safety Equipment:
Custom cage done by Dan Tiley of Ti Speed Engineering
- Triple NASCAR style door bars on each side
