Car description

For sale AS IS.
This car is ONLY for a restore.
You will not be able to drive it way. You will have to tow it away on a flatbed.
There is no window sticker registration and no license plates.
You will have to sign a vehicle sale form from State of Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
Wheels and tires are from Tirerack.com September 2008 (mounted and balanced and shipped to house). Should replace tires even though a lot of treadwear depth.
Kosei 14 inch K1-TS light grey painted (I love these wheels)
Kumho 185/60R14 Escta LX 82H
Original engine/transmission and rear end.
I changed the oil with synthetic since wife and I met in 1995.
I changed the rear differential with synthetic Mobil1 every 30K.
Change manual transmission also with Mobil1 every 30K.
I have new ignition coil but not installed. I have some extra spark plug wires.
Transmission is good shape.
Original alternator.
Original strut assemblies.
Original brake lines.
Original calipers.
Timing belt and water pump replaced at 80K or 90K.
New radiator in last 5 years.
Fuel filter sometime in last 8 years.
On third clutch. Miata has the best feeling clutch/shifter.
When it did start, it runs rough. Not sure if pass inspection.
It wouldn't re-start on me last year leaving my office in Irving.
Starter needs replacement but a nightmare on this car.
Need a lift to work on this thing.
Good news .... No check engine light. Since it is a 1990 No OBD-II for emissions testing just a tailpipe sniffer when testing in Texas.
It has passed every year here in DFW metroplex.
Cover to ECM is out (repainted to stop the rust). ECM is at the foot of passenger floorboard.
Needs engine seals replaced (oil pan for sure and rear engine seal ) and does drips oil.
When we did the clutch last, had him replace that rear seal.
Car does not smoke.
I replaced the AC to upgrade to R-134a in last 10 years or so. Cost me 19xx.xx.
We are on the third top; a Robbins product with solid glass rear window.
This new top installed March 2011.
But it is a headache to get the top to fold down with glass window.
Seats are good condition.
We had the passenger seat re-vinyled the top/backside and backpocket. The guy did a great job. Lucky to have him available.
We replaced the shifter/armrest console with a mossmotors.com aftermarket one ...two smallish cupholders... but worth it. (I have the original console rotting in the attic).
Center dash console needs to be redone. stereo just lays in it. Looks like crap. Nice Alpine speakers in the door though.
Speakers embedded in the seats are non-functioning and don't sell them anymore but don't need them.
Dash is cracking from age/UV. Has a dashmat.
Replaced the bezel over the instrument cluster though.
Wipers move slow. I replaced the wipermotor. Issue is in the steering column wiper stalk...internal contacts are dirty but needs a new one...not cheap.
Drivers door window is tight to roll up or down. I got a new track system for it but not installed .
Pop-up headlights work great never had an issue.
You want a original 90 miata ...this is it.
Replace the suspension.
Replace all rubber brake lines and get new calipers.
Repaint it. We did a Maaco paint job back in April 2007 ( not great but inexpensive). If you have time and a workshop, I suggest doing yourself ...modern day paints are awesome products.
You need to take hood and truck lid off and power wash their underside. The truck needs a power wash also.
Replace the front panel with the Taiwan aftermarket I bought (in my attic) (comes with car) or fix the original fender.
I loved driving this stick....if I ever own another manual it will have to be a miata.
Texas car. 1992 when wife bought it here in Dallas.
I have paper work to show some repairs, top replacement, clutch replacement and more.
I have the original glovebox manual and aftermarket manuals.
