Default 1996 Mazda Miata Turbo

The Car:
1996 Mazda Miata Montego Blue
Clean Title car, the Title is in my name.
The car currently has 127,000 miles on it but that may change seeing as it is my daily driver.

The Motor setup:

The car is running the stock DOHC 1.8 BP motor found in the Miata. The car Has been turbocharged using a mix of aftermarket parts. Most of the main turbo pieces are the same ones found in the Bell Engineering turbo kit. Here is a basic list of the turbo kit and parts associated with the setup.

Bell Engineering Ceramic coated cast iron manifold
Bell Engineering Stainless Steel Divorced Wastegate Downpipe
Garrett GT2554 @ 10psi
AVO Front mount intercooler (26x8x3)
AEM Fuel Ignition Controller tuned at Beyond Redline
Bell Engineering Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator
Autometer A-Pillar gauge pod
Stewart Warner Boost Gauge
AEM UEGO Air/Fuel meter
305cc Green Top Injectors
Voodoo III Manual Boost Controller
OBX cat-back exhaust (Sounds surprisingly awesome)
Battery relocated to the trunk
ACT Heavy Duty clutch, Grabs hard
Only uses Royal purple synthetic oil


Suspension and Brakes:

The Miata is lowered using adjustable coilover sleeves matched with custom spring rates. The fronts are 450lb and the rears are 350lb springs. The shocks that are on the Miata are KYB AGX 8 way adjustable. The adjustable ride stiffness and ride height found on the miata make for a very versatile ride. The Miata still has the factory sway bars, and has Flyin Miata frame rail reinforcement kit to help stiffen up the chassis. The Miata is equipped with factory all wheel disk brakes paired with Hawk HPS brake pads, The car stops great.

Miscellaneous Info:

The car is also equipped with a Boss Frog clearview 6 point Roll Bar, Looks badass and makes the car much safer if it were to roll. The car has Hella E-code H4 headlights equipped with 6000K HID’s (both high and low beams). The Miata is also equipped with a set of Yellow foglights, vented headlight lids, and a set of smoked clear corners. The car has clean black interior with minimal signs of wear and tear. The car’s interior is mostly stock with the exception of the Roll bar, a CD player, and the shift boot/shiftnob.


Overall it’s a great car and looks nice for its age. The Miata is a blast to drive and it makes for a great daily summer driver. The car is what you would consider a bit of sleeper, on 10psi the car makes 190whp and 200ftlbs of torque (Professionally tuned at Beyond Redline). Those Power numbers matched with the short gearing found in the Miata make for a very quick ride. The cars 14 years old but the Montego Blue paint stills shines great and shows the awesome color change found in Montego blue. As expected with a 14 year old car it does have a few flaws in the body. There is a slight amount of rust forming on the passenger side (very minimal), and the front bumper has a few scratches. The car looks great for its age and it gets complimented daily. It’s a great daily driver with no mechanical issues. If you are looking for a Fun, Reliable, good looking car that gets 30mpg then this is for you.

Goods: Damn quick car, Daily driven(reliable), Convertable top (Gets the honeys), Handles awesome, Professionally tuned and wired, Brand name high quality parts, Still gets 30mpg, One hell of a sleeper.

Bads: Its not in your driveway, Slight rust forming on passenger side, A few scratches on the front bumper, chipped windshield.


Asking $5,700 obo. I am open to trade offers.

Contact me @ Touge4life@hotmail.com or Call 715-281-9322. Thanks for looking.

I have tons of pictures if you want to see anything let me know.












Car can come with either set of wheels...

I was expecting more interest from the Honda crowd to be honest.
