New to me 2002 Classic Red Miata LS "Mia"



I purchased Mia in mid-December and have been going through her for the last month or so with maintenance items and the small fixes here and there. Daily driver status for now with my eye on FI when I move on to a different daily. She has been garage kept all her life and aside from a few paint nicks and a "trouble spot" of a few scratches on the passenger rear quarter, she is spotless. You could eat off the underside. All the rubber still looks greasy and not a spec of rust anywhere.



I paid $5k for the car (w/HT) and immediately had the timing belt and water pump service done by Automotive Specialist in Round Rock. (Highly recommended, I normally DIY and am very picky when it comes to handing over the keys)



The shifter was blown out when I got it, so I rebuilt that with the bronze* bushing kit from 5XRacing (high quality kit and very happy with the results). Needed front pads and rotors- I'm about $6300 in so far.
