2000 Mazda MX-5 NB Miracle 1.9
Just recently bought,
my ‘new’ 00’ Miata Miracle, called ‘Nimbus’
A little bit rough around the edges, but nothing a few weekends of work in the bodyshop cannot fix.
Miracle Special Edition, including a 6-Speed close ratio gearbox, Torsen Limited Slip Diff and Cream Leather Interior.
Packing a 1840ccm ‘1.9’ Engine with 140hp and 162nm.
Kerb weight of 1100kg / 2425lbs.
105k miles/180kkm on the clock, and no rust (surprisingly ikr)
Mods already done by the previous Owner
(an enthusiast, who went to great lenghts to maintain the car):
- 15” OZ Ultraleggera Wheels
- 200 Cell Catalysator + Fox Backbox
- Koni Springs on Bilstein Shocks
- Front Strut tower bar
What I plan to do (not much as the car is almost perfect):
- fix the upholstery or OEM Miata semibuckets
- some tlc
- OEM front airdam
- Hard Dog Ace Bar
- (maybe) front licenseplate relocation to drivers side
Stoked to finally own a MX5, picking it up soon, but need to get my old car sold before I start driving it
Comments
You all are lucky in germany and close to german countries, miatas here, the NB is about 6k or 8k, there its only 2k…
Well, you have to search. I visited 6 Miatas before and traveled over 2500km. Only that one was good, you never know with those. 5k€ cars can be in the same condition as 2.5k€ Cars, and people will still buy. Also, in most cases 2K will get you a rusty one with brown death on the whole lower part of the car
