1.6L 1990 SM for sale, one of the earliest, lightest chassis. Car was built by RTP Racing (third SM we've built) in 2005 primarily to run the 2005 VIR Charge of the Headlight Brigade enduro which it did flawlessly. Since then it has been used in regional SCCA competitions and the 2006 VIR Charge of the Headlight Brigade enduro. This Miata is race ready - honestly - it has decent tires on it, decent pads, current SCCA logbook and inspection, has just been aligned and has fluids changed (cooling, engine oil, transmission oil) and could be raced straightaway with no problem. Belts are current, weight is legal, it is ready to be raced.
This car has been a good SM and features:
Damage to the car during it's racing career has been light. The car received damage in the 2006 VIR enduro where another car spun in front of it and this car hit the spinning car. Damage was the nose cone and the front right fender, a little on the left fender. Both the nose cone and right front fender were replaced, and the left fender repaired with a little paint and bondo by a body shop. Only remaining damage on car from races is a shallow dent in the left rear quarter panel but is not worth repairing, too light to worry about.
Has a new water pump (replaced as insurance for enduro) and alternator (replaced because of alternator failure during 2006 enduro), it received all new bushings in 2005 throughout, as well as new front bearing assemblies and ALL new brake calipers, all new water hoses. If fact, it had a new alternator in 2005 when built, but that alternator failed at like hour 51 during the second enduro so it has now another new one. Timing belt and tensioners replaced when built in 2005. Point is we built the car to last and replaced any parts that were suspect or could cause a race DNF.
Car is competitive and reliable, has run a best of 2:23.4 at VIR full course with a new SM driver (a UK driver racing in the US at the enduro and only two races with previous wheel to wheel experience, Malcom, ok, he is fast but he has to have a car to be fast!). There is more left in the car with driver and it is perfect proof you don't have to have a Race Engineering or Sunbelt motor to go fast, plenty of those cars don't turn 2:23s and have more power.
Also has a small spares package that goes with it including the following: the old calipers (working), a couple sets of old pads, old clutch, AFM, igniter, water pump (working), rotors (used but would get you through if needed), and some assorted water hoses that would work in a pinch. Not huge box of spares, but a few things that could help.
Also, one last thing but certainly not a small item - the car has a valid NC title and can be titled for street use. Just fab up a bolt on catalytic converter and get it inspected - all the lights etc. work and work fine. Having a car you can drive to an alignment shop etc. and not tow with the race trailer is a wonderful thing.

This car has been a good SM and features:
- Excellent Competition Cages custom cage (www.competitioncages.com) - no bolt in or poorly done weld in cage. Features NASCAR driver bars and 2007+ legal parallel passenger bars for those concerned about the "X" bars on the passenger side and tech inspection.
- Fire bottle with T-pull in the dash, sprays into two locations, drivers area and cell area
- G Force SFI approved harness, good for 3+ more years
- Sparco seat, very comfortable, setup for drivers in the 5'7" to about 6'2" range
- Koyo radiator with stock cooling fan still wired to stock ECU and with bypass switch - ECU can turn fan on and so can you
- Mazda Comp LSD, installed by Carl Cason in the Southeast who is known for good LSD work - none of ours done by him has ever given up. LSD is one race old as the car had a viscous LSD up until August 2006.
- Curved aluminum air intake with K&N filter
- Pro-Race 2 wheels, in black, none bent, in decent shape
- Adjustable links at all four roll bar corners
- Removable steering wheel on 6 point hex boss
- Two Autometer mechanical gauges, oil pressure and water temp, in the vents. Oil pressure needs to be hooked up with tee in block to maintain stock sender as well. All stock dash gauges work and are the early style analog type - that is, it really shows oil pressure.
- Hour meter, car has just over 58 race hours on her (if you never used an hour meter in your race car get one)
- Voltmeter and Air Fuel meter
- Adjustable shift light
- Carbotech brake pads installed with about 6 hours left on them (hour meter is very handy for figuring out how long things last!)
- Properly wired throughout, kill switch, battery, etc. Also wired through relay for four 50W auxiliary lights for the enduro, lights are included
