Hey All,
I'm considering a buy/fly/drive on a 2.5L swapped NC Miata. Do we have anyone in the Wilmington, NC area that could take a look for me? Experience with NC Miata, 2.5L swap, etc. is preferred, but not necessary.
Or, if someone can recommend a good shop in the area for a PPI that would be good too. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.
My buddy bought a NB from a guy out there who runs a HPDE site and works on cars. I can see if he has a shop or something that might be able to look.

Awesome. Ty
Buzzboy lives there. Hes a lemons racer.
Normally I would volunteer, as i love road trips and stuff, but i can barely walk, let alone do an 8 hour turn amd butn right now.
I may be available in a werk or so after i get healthy again.
I directed my friend in wilmington to this thread, maybe he can help you out. Good luck!
I live about 40 minutes outside of Wilmington, but am in MN for work at the moment. No specific knowledge of NCs. What is your timeframe?

Hey TJ. No specific time frame. I am out of town for work next week and the Seller cant let go of the car until next month. Realistically, anytime in the next 3 weeks is OK.
I have a bunch of car friends there if you need something quick. If you have a few days I'll probably be there next thursday/friday.

Alright, I'll await your message. I'd be glad to help out.
Seller changed his mind and doesnt want to sell... anyone have a 2.5 swapped NC for sale? :(
Was it red? I may know the PO before the current one.
In reply to bluej :
Yes. Red with and Harddog.
Pretty sure that's the one. He autox'd it a bunch and did the swap, but sold it to get a c5
So... Seller decided that he DOES want to sell.
Buzzboy - I'm shooting you an e-mail now.

Any thoughts on the quality of the build? It seems like one of the better ones I have seen.

He's a smart cookie that knows what he's doing. It was definitely AX focused. I pinged him earlier this morning for specific thoughts but I'm sure I won't hear back till later today.
Sent him the link. Glad I did. His text comments after I asked him about it:
Where is it listed? Dude told me he blew the motor in it after getting it tuned
-
Yea sounds like mine, Id be curious if he put a new engine in or what. Car should be solid other than that.
-
Fenders were rolled half ass

Car isn't publicly listed. The fenders being rolled "half ass" definitely falls in line with what I've seen.
Buzzboy will hopefully be able to get eyes on it before the end of the week. Stay tuned :)
