Wow!!!

I have a '96 NA with the 1.8 @ limited slip rear.... Yours looks much nicer shape tho.

The previous owner really took care of my baby mint

Ye sure, when i grab my Space Star at the end of the month i will try it and post here. I don't know if the offset will be good though.

I think you're going to like it. No promises but I think the width and offset will be fine.

There are a few of us with the Miata & Mirage combo.

Ha - I have half of the combo! I just got a crappy 1990 Miata for $750 a few months ago:



It's the opposite of yours, andrefsbispo: mine was not well looked after, has higher kilometers (216k), dent on the driver's side, and a rust hole in the floor because the top has leaked on the carpets for years!

But it runs well, is a joy to drive - it makes me smile. I'm looking forward to next summer.

This is my next car, NA 1.8 or NB, and it will be boosted shortly after

For now:

it was a bargain, in portugal they are so expensive but they are in pretty good condition. No snow, no salt, no rust

It looks amazing man if you can live with a back to basics car, go to the NA,trust me the popups will make you, and you passenger, smile everytime! LOL

Mine was not winter driven -- rust in the floor was from bad top = wet carpets.

If it had been driven year round as much as a typical car in Canada, it would now have 400+k km on it!

Agreed about the pop-up lights. It's a happy cartoon face.

PS: want to trade camshafts? I heard the Euro cams are an economy profile.

Is yours rated 116 hp @ 6500 rpm, 100 lb-ft @ 5500 rpm?
