This 1991 Mazda Miata has been extensively modified, including the installation of a 2.0-liter VTEC inline-four and 6-speed manual gearbox from an AP1 Honda S2000. The car was originally sold in the US and imported to Canada in 2005 before being acquired by the seller three years ago. The engine swap was performed by the previous owner, and the seller has performed further sorting. An engine reseal included new gaskets, ARP head studs, a new timing chain and guides, a new water pump, assorted sensors and hoses, a new fuel pump, and more. Cosmetic alterations include an Autokonexion wide-body kit, a spray-on vinyl wrap, and a set of 15″ Phat wheels. The interior features an S2000 gauge cluster, aftermarket audio system, a custom roll bar, aftermarket gauges, and Derlin door bushings. Suspension modifications include Tein Street Z coilovers, a shock tower brace, polyurethane bushings, sway bars, and a rear sub-frame brace, while braking is handled by cross-drilled rotors and Hawk pads. This Miata is now being offered in Montreal with a new soft top, various spare parts, and a Quebec registration.

Originally silver, a purple sprayable vinyl-based wrap and clear coat were applied to the body and hardtop. The original fenders were cut and an Autokonexion wide-body kit added which includes riveted rear GT fenders along with extended bumper corners, a custom deck lid spoiler, front air intakes, and a front lip. The new soft top is not currently installed, though it will accompany the sale.

15×8.5″ Phat wheels are mounted with 1″ spacers and wear newer 205/50 Potenza RE71R tires. A new brake master cylinder and booster were recently installed, while braking upgrades consist of larger vented/cross-drilled rotors and Hawk pads. The suspension is fitted with 32-way adjustable Tein Advanced Street Z coilovers with new top hats, a shock tower brace, polyurethane bushings, upgraded control arms, larger front and rear sway bars, a rear subframe brace, and stabilizer bars. Recent maintenance included installing new front wheel bearings, ball joints, and tie-rods.

The interior is fitted with an S2000 gauge cluster, upgraded audio system, a rebuilt shifter with an aftermarket knob, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, custom roll bar, Derlin door bushings, as well as an AEM gauge for air/fuel and a voltage gauge on the center console. A button affixed to the center console controls an exhaust valve which bypasses the muffler, and the seller has added approximately 12k kilometers during his three years with the car.

The digital S2000 odometer displays just over 66k miles, though the seller believes the chassis has accumulated around 230k total kilometers (~142k miles). Per the seller, starting the car requires flipping a hidden kill-switch and turning on the fuel pump prior to twisting the ignition. The check engine light is illuminated for codes P1415 and P1298, which coincide with removal of the air pump and electrical load detector.

According to the seller, the Honda F20C 2.0-liter four was installed under previous ownership and torn-down prior to being resealed. Work in the last 3k kilometers included installation of the following items:

Gaskets for the cylinder head, ignition coil, valve stem seal, valve cover, crank pulley, VTEC assembly, thermostat, and water pump

Rear main seal

Spoon thermostat

ARP head studs and valve cover bolts

Honda timing chain, guides, and oil pump chain

Temperature sensor and water pump

Thermal throttle body gasket

Map sensor, AIT sensor, PCV sensor

ATI super damper crank pulley

Deatschwerks 200 fuel pump

New ignition coils, spark plugs, and fuel filter

Megan Racing engine mounts

Idler pulley with bearing, water pump pulley, belt tensioner

Mishimoto radiator with upgraded fan motor

New battery and 02 sensors

The exhaust includes a heat-wrapped header and flex pipe leading to a straight pipe with a Magnaflow muffler. According to the seller, the front and rear subframe were removed, cleaned, and repainted along with the control arms. Power is routed through a rebuilt Honda 6-speed manual gearbox and a rebuilt limited-slip differential with a reinforced carrier. Other drivetrain components include a Clutch Masters FX400 clutch and pressure plate, lightweight flywheel, a new pilot bearing and throw out bearing, new clutch master and slave cylinder, and a custom driveshaft. The frame rails are reinforced using rail covers bolted to the chassis and videos of the car revving are viewable below.
