Used Car of the Day: 1994 Mazda Miata

Today we bring you a 1994 Mazda Miata with a turbo. And a lot more.


There's an extremely long list of modifications here, too many to list. I can tell you this one has a "professionally built" turbocharged motor, a six-speed manual, an intercooler, and more.

It appears very little has been left untouched, including the exterior and interior. And the electronics.

If you want to peruse this vehicle, click here to see it.

It's based in California and the seller is asking for $20,000.

A heavily-modified Miata? Sure, why not.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    That's a pretty sweet ride. I'd buy it.

    $20k for an almost race-prepped Miata? I've seen people spend 3-4x this amount to get on to a track. It looks like all this thing needs is a full roll cage and a fire extinguisher and it's ready to race.

      Great! Just what I need, an afternoon of watching GG Allin looking guys racing sex toys around a track to win a date with Beyonce.
  • Carson D A friend of mine is currently driving a Grand Wagoneer L Obsidian III, which boldly calls out its US production status twice by the time you're behind the wheel. I wonder what happens when products like that one share a showroom with ones that don't have any mention of production location.

  • MaintenanceCosts All you people asking for an ICE version realize you'd need a longer hood and different rear packaging (for a fuel tank) to make it work, right?
  • Jalop1991 ah, the old "engaging!" trope. Isn't it funny how "I have to shift my own gears, it's so engaging" disappears the moment EVs come into play.
  • Kcflyer They should sell these to the kamala administration with a 1 billion dollar markup
