I have reluctantly decided to sell my 1999 NB street car, because my wife and I have decided we really want to get back into an NC PRHT for our 'street' Miata.
SOLD!
I've owned this '99 for seven years, and have been slowly building it up as a really nice 'street' Miata. I already have an NA race car, so I didn't need or want another hard core Miata. This one was always targeted at 'OEM+'. I didn't hold back or cut corners with this car, and spent good money on good parts. It's a very clean, rust free car, and everything is 'done' except "power" mods and maybe some custom interior work. Much of the work on this car can be seen in my 'Miata Experience' thread.
This was originally a California automatic car. After buying it, I swapped in a manual drivetrain with a 120k mile NB2 engine, and a 5 speed out of another '99 I owned. At the time of the swap it got new timing belt, water pump, seals, fluids, etc.
The car was originally black, and in 2022 got a professional paint job with basecoat/clearcoat. The stripes are paint, not vinyl. The paint job was done by a local hot rod shop and is good quality... It looks fantastic in person, though it's not high-end show quality. The underside of the hood and trunk and the door jambs were also painted, so the only thing that shows it's a color change is the engine compartment. The door openings were seam welded before it was painted. Front bumper cover and lights were swapped to NB2. New windshield and quality ceramic tint were installed after paint, as were new door seals and trim pieces, and new wheels and tires.
I have been completely through the mechanicals on the car. Everything is new. Hubs/bearings, tie rods, ball joints, brake calipers (rebuilt). Hawk HPS pads, Supermiata brake lines, Motul fluid, extended ARP studs, I.L. motorsports bushings. Supermiata Tecna coilovers, RB front sway bar. 4.30 Torsen, poly diff bushings. Brakes have less than 5K miles, the suspension less than 1k miles. Supermiata radiator and Dave Fab overflow tank. New alternator a few months ago.
The interior is in great shape, but it is a 25 year old car, so not perfect. NB2 seats in black cloth are currently installed. I also have the original seats in tan leather, which are also in very good condition. 'De-Bose'd' with JVC head unit, Pioneer speakers and a compact, powered subwoofer. Nothing special, but it sounds decent. A/C blows cold. Top is canvas, and in good condition. There are a couple of loose seams, but it's structurally intact and waterproof.
This is a really nice driver Miata, and my next step was a turbo. I actually have most of the parts to turbocharge the car, but just don't want to invest the time at this point. Buyer will get first shot at a great price for all the turbo parts...
