*This car was daily driven by me in the summer, spring, and fall for the last 2 years while I have been in school. It has never been driven in the snow and I have kept it under a car cover during the winter time. It has proven very reliable and should not need much over the next few years as I have changed out most everything minus the engine and tranny. I have disclosed everything about the car, as too not waste your time or my own. Runs absolutely perfect, and it boosts great. It is a very quick car and clean car.


*Reason for selling the car- I just got a great job opportunity and finally need a car with AC to commute to an office. I have also gotten into the trouble with speeding this past year and need to get into a slower car for a while until my insurance rates drop a bit.


Overall Condition
*138K on the chassis, fairly low mileage
*5 speed swapped (Professionally done)
*Power steering, no A/C
*96-98 Kouki S13 SR swap(type x 97-98). Supposedly it was low mileage when it was installed, but of course you can't know for sure. Since it's a 96-98 though, it probably has fewer miles on it than older SRs. It was swapped in shortly before the previous owner bought it in Sept. '07, and the car has maybe 15k miles on it since then.
*Clean interior. Uncracked dash. S14 SE front and rear seats. Outside, the paint could be better. It's not bad overall, but I'm pretty sure it's original and it does have its little scratches and scuffs. You can see where it's fading and chipped a little on the rear bumper.
*There's a 3-4 inch cut in the outer layer of the convertible top. It doesn't go through the inner layer, so no leaks, but it's still there.




Engine
*S14 T28 ball bearing turbo, HKS actuator @~9psi (as is you can boost up too 11 psi or about 260whp)
*Taka turbo lines
*FMIC, solid piping
*Piping Pro intake, K&N filter
*Recirculating DSM BOV setup, so it's not obnoxiously loud
*Megan turbo elbow, 3" downpipe/Catco cat, 3" Fujitsubo JASMA exhaust
*Walbro 255, Nismo FPR
*Altima electric fans
*Damper box delete


Suspension/brakes
*Eibach Sportliine springs, KYB AGX shocks
*Tanabe Sustec rear sway (stock front sway for now)
*EBC Greenstuff front pads, Hawk HPS rears




Exterior
*Orginal paint with a few scratches and dings but still in great shape for a 18 year old car.
*Canadian DTRLs (wired to come on with the headlights/parking lights)
*Amber/clear turn signals
*Multi-piece Linea Sport mesh wheels, 16x7 +22 (not very common...I believe they're Italian made for the Japanese market)






Interior
*C's short shifter, Nismo butt plug knob
*Nardi 365mm classic, HKB hub (horn and turn signals work)
*Kouki S14 SE seats
*Autometer boost, water temp, oil pressure gauges in center A/C vent
*Pioneer head unit
*Stri turbo timer


The good.
1 of about 5k convertible 240sxs ever made.


Less than 10k miles
*Slave cylinder
*Master cylinder
*New all Summer tires
*Alignment
*Miata Battery
*All alluminum radiator
*Silcone radiator hoses
*Coilpacks
*Spark Plugs
*Fuel Filter


less than 500 miles
*Alternator


The bad
*There is a small tear in the top. It is a 2 layer top so there are no leaks what so ever, just cosmetic. It has not gotten any worse since I've owned it.
* The aftermarket Oil pressure gauge currently doesn't read because you'll need a fitting for the pressure sensor to screw into the block.
*Some speakers, The current ones are pretty blown.
*The front main seal is weeping very slightly maybe 1/4 of a quart every 3000 miles (hasn't gotten worse so I've just let it be)
* The coolant line under the intake manifold has a small crack that leaks coolant at a slow rate. I haven't had the time to fix it but I do have a new intake manifold gasket if you decide to change it out.
*Not really a need but there is a slight turbo whine, I pulled the t28 and it has very little shaft play. No oil burning, boost holds amazingly and still spools up around 2.5k. Which leads me to believe it is a very slight intake gasket leak

of some sort.
