1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata
Vehicle Details1991 Ls swapped Miata
Originally purchased in Nashville. Been here it’s whole life. Currently testing waters to sale. It’s just not practical in Nashville due of our horrible roads and traffic problems. It needs to be free. Around 180,000 miles on chassis. 7,000 miles on swap. Runs and drives great. Extremely satisfying to drive. It has been reliable semi daily driver. It’s been on a couple 2 hour highway trips with no problems. It is LOW. You must avoid speed bumps. It could be raised up though via the coil overs. It handles amazing but does have a harsh ride. I would guess it weighs under 2500lbs. Super car power to weight ratio. The swap was done with budget in mind, hence the price. It’s not a show car. I get plenty of comments wherever it goes. It looks pretty stock. It does not sound stock. The transmission shifts great. Runs 2500 rpm at 70mph. Doesn’t overheat even in hot traffic. Doesn’t leak anything.
