As usual I put WAY too much money into it, including trailering it across country to Flyin Miata to have them do the work on the turbo and cooling. The car is an amazing track machine and punches way above its weight. I don\u2019 think there is much left you can do to a Miata besides what is on this car.\r\nNow when my bother listed this on BAT, they asked for the carfax, thats when we found out about the total. When I bought it (a few months after this total) the carfax at that point showed nothing bad. But then again, I was buying a low mileage Miata with no rust with the sole intention of having a track car. I drove the car from NY to Florida the day after i bought it. 23 hours straight, it never missed a beat. I have been all over this car when I installed dozens of the mods myself, if it has damage, i never saw it. There is zero damage to the frame i can be sure of that. According to this report it looks like the drivers side front fender was damaged. But realize that back then, this was a 5K miata...thats what i paid, with the hardtop and my friends thought i was NUTS paying that much for a miata. If someone had crinkled a fender back then, insurance would have probably totaled it since they were considered worth nothing. Times have changed and nice miatas bring good money now.\r\nI dont have a stake in this game this time although it is my brother selling it, but rest assured whatever the carfax is saying...you wont be able to tell. \r\nI will help out where i can and try to answer what i can.", "likes": 10, "timestamp": 1598994954, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 4993416, "authorName": "Seanm7454", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/seanm7454/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "The duct under the car was my homemade device at the suggestion of Flyin Miata to help cool the oil on track.
