I need input on a Miata...

[nitrowsb]

Straight to the point!

95 Miata Turbo, 78Ks, Zero rust

Any problems?
Do they come with LSD?

Thanks for any input, and it's NOT replacing either of our current cars!

Is it a Canadian car?
If it is, cars with leather had LSD's, cars with cloth had open diffs. It's possible one was swapped in since it's pretty easy to do.

Which turbo kit and what is controlling fuel and spark?

[nitrowsb]

I'm pretty sure it's Canadian. I'm told it's a Bell Engineering kit using J&S Electronics SafeGuard!

Mike's right... all canadian cars with leather had the torsen diff, it's just the way they packaged it here. And that's definatly a stock leather interior. Also looks like it coudl've been a special edition or R package. I'm not familiar with any regular option packages that came with the billstein shocks.

the control arm shot shows it was well cared for, likely no winters or wet driving.

what's the price?... i might buy it!

[nitrowsb]

Thanks for the article Walter. It's looking more and more like the "R" package, and I will look for the air dam tomorrow!

I've already purchased this vehicle...for Anna! It was too good of a deal to pass up. I'm a sucker for deals, but I will sell it if the right offer comes along.

Thanks,

Trung

congrats man.

iirc the J&S SafeGuard is not an EMS. I believe it just pulls timing if it picks up knock in the engine. Still an awesome thing to have though.

It's not an R package as R's came with black cloth interior. That looks like a garage vary front lip (careful they are delicate). I would guess someone added the bilsteins since the springs and sways are not oem. It looks like someone has spent a fair bit of money on parts for that car so you likely got a good deal. Is it fast?
