We need to make some room for new projects, so our shop RF is up for sale. Automobile Magazine wrote a love letter to it. It's a staff favorite. We don't really want to let it go, but I think you'll enjoy what comes next.
So, who's got room in their heart for a great all-around sports car? I've done thousand-mile days in this car. I've seen it ace the California emissions, opening the door for emissions-legal turbos for all generations of Miata. I've seriously considered adopting it myself. I mean, just look at it. Now imagine the ND's chassis tightened up and bolstered by a big slug of torque any time you want it. Mmmm yes.
Here's the official text of the ad:
Rufus is a 2017 RF in GT specification - black leather interior, Soul Red paint - and with the optional front air dam and side skirts from the Appearance Package. We bought the car new and it currently has approximately 14,000 miles on it and is still in as-new condition other than the modifications. The engine is not the original as we installed a set of BBR cams and valve springs on the original engine, and decided to keep that one together so we dropped in the engine from our 2016 GT when the turbocharger went on. The current engine has slightly lower mileage than the chassis, but at 14,000 miles it doesn't really make any difference!
The car has seen no high speed track use but has been around our local kart track a few times. Most of the mileage is from road trips, as the car has been exhibited at meets ranging from Georgia to California and is often driven there. This is also the car that underwent the CARB testing. Available either in CARB legal trim or with a catless downpipe.
There are approximately $12,000 worth of aftermarket parts on the car. MSRP on a Soul Red 2019 GT with the Appearance Package is $36,375. For less than that, you can have a huge amount of torque, upgraded suspension, sexy bronze wheels and stronger, lighter brakes all put together by the experts at Flyin' Miata. Rufus is a staff favorite, but unfortunately we need the space and he has to go.
Parts list:
BBR Stage 1 turbo system
FM high-flow midpipe
FM Hush-O-Matic active exhaust with CAN control
FM Stage 2 suspension (Koni Sport shocks, FM springs, FM sway bars)
Backup camera
17x8 6UL bronze wheels with 235/40-17 Yokohama S.drive tires
Asking price: $34,995
The car is currently at our headquarters in Palisade, CO. The car is can be legally registered in California. Please contact Keith at 970 464 5600 or keith@flyinmiata.com to discuss.
