Update: my friends parent's are moving and his dad, who owned a Miata before, loved hoarding parts for it. So instead of bringing the parts with him to the new house, he decided to give it all to me.

I have a 1.8 bare block, brake pads, fuel pimpintake manifold, PS pump, radiator 5 speed trans, interior pieces and boxes full of a bunch of other shit. He told me I could pretty much buy a shell and build a 1.8 miata from the ground up with all the stuff he supplied me with or I could sell it if I wanted to. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow if anyone cares.

that looks to be a damn good deal. at least check it out in person.

Damn, son you lucked out on that one


regarding the '96...
I hope the owner is just incompetent or desperate to get rid of it because this looks far to cheap for it to be in any good shape. kinda torn right now, theres a pretty good looking NB that just went up also, but I want an NA.

Is the NA just a meme, or is there genuinely something special about it that the subsequent generations lacked?

Conflicted between an NA and NB
Are parts for the NA starting to become harder to find or something? I'm just really paranoid about buying a 20+ year old car vs getting something a little newer and perhaps more reliable. I really like the NAs but in my area theyre all busted, clean ones don't come up too often.

it has pop-up headlights and 25 years of "charm"

the NB is exactly the same car but significantly improved in structural integrity, safety, power, equipment, and reliability.

Get the NA if you want a more classic feel.
Get the NB if you want a slightly better daily driver and a touch more power.
They are both old now. You can find totally trashed NBs and fairly clean NAs out there.

You can tighten up even the most floppy worn out NA with a butterfly brace, frog arms, roll bar, and new suspension bits.

Got this for $120.

Good quality CF. No idea what manufacturer tho.

Any guesses?

as someone who is just looking to drive for the joy of it and not to commute daily, the NA seems like the better choice then, no?...
