- 91 miata le, 02 P5
Well heres how it all started....
I was goofing off on craigslist a year and some change ago and came across a Turbo P5 that didn't run. It was $2500! I just couldn't gather the money for the car so I had to turn a blind eye and try to forget the great deal that I had seen. Well yet again I was goofing off on craigslist and I found the car for sale again. It was January 1, 2009. I called the guy about it and he was anxious for me to come look at it. I went and looked at the car and he knew nothing about it. The first thing I saw under the hood was 2 secondary injectors in the charge pipes right before the throttle body. I asked what kind of management was on the car and he said "None." I asked him many more questions and he really just boiled it down to, "It's a 5 speed mazda thats fast." Well I bargained with him and bought the car for $2,000. He originally told me that the car had 64,000 miles on it. I was a little suspicious of this.. Well after I payed for the car he came back to me and said that the mileage wasn't 64,000 miles.... It was 47,000 miles... I was in shock! haha
The car hibernated for 3 years beside this guys home with a nearly devastated bottom end.
I found the original owner of the car and this car was the Wagner motorsports test bed car. This car had the First ever wagner motorsports turbo kit.
^ these are the craigslist pics of the car.
The car also had,
Spool springs
wagner 2.5" stainless exhaust
Rota slipstream wheels
Mpi tuner
Flyin miata 02 clamp
Jdm rear cup holer
Steering pillar pod
Dual gauge pod

^ This is the forsale topic from the original owner. You can see how the car used to look and what I got with it.
