Soon to be Evo owner from SoFla

I've been enjoying my 1991 Miata for 8 years now, and up until recently I didn't mind that it was slow. I have a serious craving for power now and I want to hop into the world of all wheel drive. I'm looking to myself into a clean VIII or IX.

This is my Miata that I am preparing to sell/part out.

I'll also sell my '04 ZHP as part of the Evo fund.

My roommate drives this and has been pushing for the Evo switch for a few years. I think he is PaulWalker on this forum.

That is a nice looking Miata you have there!
You should just find a LS1 donor for it.
No suggestions for the AWD part of it though.

Any particular color you are looking for?

Good luck with the search.

My first choices for color would be Blue by You or Electric Blue, but as long as it isn't red or yellow I'm down.

LS1 Miata would be incredible, but I just don't want to do that. I can't quite explain it but I don't want to load up the Miata with that much power.

The resale on the Evo 9's are ridiculous! Clean examples are climbing into the $30k range.

Both cars are sold now, I have cash in hand and I'm prowling for Evos. Sub 60k 8&9's, WW, BBY or EB would do just fine!

Also I'm out of a car now so its my bike and the bus for now, I wasn't expecting them to sell so quickly.
