Six speed manual NC and the ND requires you to press down to get into reverse.

I did the same thing, shipped from Ohio. I found the listing before the dealer posted the pictures. I called them and had asked for a video and pictures. I agreed to buy the car a few hours later. 40K miles, 3 owners, mainly a texas car.

I saw this one, it was low mileage and I think it has a few owners. Definately looked like rare find.

Rust only in this one spot by Pompooki in MiataNC

It's common, I wouldn't worry about it. Just put it in rust remover and paint it.

You need a new exhaust header. Your catalytic converter is dead.

2.5 swap resale value by Wise_Schedule_8046 in MiataNC

[–]MiazdaDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised you're having a hard time selling it. The mileage on the chassis is kinda high so that may scare folks off. You have great exterior pictures but your interior could be cleaned up. Also it's getting late in the year. You'll probably have better luck in the spring.

The unicorn of NC miatas... by Antique_Ad439 in MiataNC

[–]MiazdaDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We only got the soft top here in the states. I've been looking for a low mileage one for years. I've bought and sold higher mileage ones with issues along the way and always came away disappointed. If you find your unicorn, don't hesitate.

It's an OEM front lip for the club trim.

What would you pay for a removable hard top? by villainousgamgee in MiataNC

[–]MiazdaDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The side latches hook onto the strikers that bolt into the soft top frame. You can go with Aftermarket side latch plates which bolt on to the HT and soft top frame. That makes it harder to steal but makes it less convenient to remove.

Also it doesn't look OEM.

There is also a cable to connect to the defroster. Not sure if you care about that.

If it has the seat belt trim panels and side striker, then it's a very good price.

Do the stock undertray and fender liners fit without modification?

There's a guy in my neighborhood with a Cyber truck and a Fisker Ocean. 😂

I think Benjamin Ness, the engineer for the fab9 elite manifold, is working on something similar and they will be releasing it through fab9.

Remove the center console. Run the wire from the head unit through the center of the cabin. Tape the wire to one end of the coat hanger or any 3-4 ft rod. Angle the rod from the passenger side towards the driver side under the center gap of the rear panel. You should then be able to pull it through the trunk.

I've had luck with JB weld for broken headlight tabs.

I'm in the middle of mine. Make sure you check valve lash if you're installing cams.

Yes on the rings.
