Default Got me a 90

Just picked up a 1990. 64k original miles. New tires, brakes, car cover. Timing belt was done. Yes it is a short nose crank, but there is no play in the pulley. I plan on buying a new bolt and loctiting it in place. Absolutely no rust anywhere, at all.

I plan on just driving it for a while, then see where it takes me. LS1, turbo, who knows.

After hunting for months this was the absolute cleanest I could find, and was only 2 towns over from me. Without a doubt the nicest Miata I could find for $3500.

Thanks, I must have looked at 15 within 100 miles and this was by far the cleanest. I'll get more pics soon.

This one is nicer than the 92 I went and test drove last weekend (for around the same money). Great buy! =)

Thanks, I hunted for a couple months and spent more than I wanted to but am more than happy. The wife even likes it and she could care less about cars.

That's great! I'm sure finding the perfect one will be worth it & happy wife happy life

It was my first time driving a miata, one thing I noticed was how close the pedals were and I kept sticking my knee between the steering wheel and the door when trying to push the clutch. I wish I had more time to drive it/adjust things around. I have a very mixed opinion on miatas now and I can't decide if I want one or not!
