The Good:
Only 78,608 miles
New transmission with a $1700 receipt and many other receipts
Transmission has been broken in over 1000 miles and babied
Previous owner before me has about thousands and thousands of $ in receipts
NEW: Water Pump, Timing Belt, 2 more belts, Coolant, Alternator.
Passes SMOG with super low numbers
i have original transmission and parts, but it isnt a full spare (chipped teeth)
Power windows, digital speedo/tach model, gradient seats (if all this even matters to you)
no rust (besides 2 inches of flaking under the sunroof panel lip (visable only when its open)
Never messed with the "Diff Lock" center console button in fear of wearing the car out.
All stock except HKS catback ($600)
GAB Rally struts, pretty thick and beefy. (not installed) Theyre red GAB "Rally" in white
also have manual boost controller and Autometer Boost guage (CF face, Yellow/white text)

The Bad:
front driver quarter panel got rolled into by parked car which was initially a 4" X 8" size dent,
I took the panel off and smoothed it out best i could, so now its straight with crinkling.
(right on "full time 4wd" sticker)

some scratches and chipped paint, hardly any dings, two dents (barely visable)
one dent on rear bumper (where sticker is) other on passenger side rear pillar (very minor)

re92 tires (safe, but balding)
sometimes it wont start when you turn the key, so you have to put it in neutral and lunge back and forth for some reason it works.
drivers seat has minor wear but excellent adjustibility (6 adjusments i think?)
Digital tach and speedo glitch out sometimes
Red sparco wheel looks pretty worn
same engine as later miata 1.6L turbo charged all wheel drive
same family as rx7 turbo 2 II
awesome rally wrc classic car

Was planning to RallyX but never did, i hardly even taken it into any dirt besides a turnout or two.

These are all minor problems i think.

$3500 OBO

heres its thread circa a few months ago!

im tempted Kyle.... really tempted

 

let me know, its ready to drive. The clutch is 10K miles old, but it slips a bit when you full throttle 5th gear, but it pulls in the first 4 gears pretty good. definately drivable but thats the main problem it has.

at least you wont have to worry about engine (80K miles) and tranny (new) problems for a while.

 

achoo

 

i swear i saw this car yesterday on capitol turning onto silver creek. If this was you, the cars clean but your headlights are BLINDING.

 

that is a sweet car. wish i had an extra wad of $100's cuz i'd buy it. +1

 

I've been tempted to pick up a GTX for years. Then I remember working on them and how hard parts are getting to find and... it passes.

Though now... now I want one again.

 

yeah, im just waiting for a collector to find it...money can fix any car haha

a stock one sold in SF for $6500! WTF!?! mines stock, 80K miles, new tranny, whats up with that...maybe i should spray paint some besheets and post them on a billboard on 101
