redmx591's 1991 Mazda Miata Sykesville, MD Customized with Custom Gauges, Infinity Speakers, Profile Amplifier, ANSA Exhaust, Racing Beat Intake, Team Voodoo Shift Knob, Volk Racing Wheels, Falken Tires, ACT Transmission, Power Slot Brakes, Ground Control Springs, KONI Shocks, Bosch Ignition, Kicker Tweeters, Kenwood Head Unit - 87

Here's my 1991 Miata A-package that I bought March 15, 1996. It was been driven daily (even in snow), and is currently approaching 200,000 miles.

The car was later sold July 21, 2004 to a club member's girlfriend, and was replaced with a new Mazda3 5-door. Yep, I'm a family man.

The car's owner had a fender bender in it, bought a MINI, and hoped to fix the car. However, her finances changed, and as of March 18, 2005 the car returned to my possession, awaiting a full restoration/rejuvination project.

I ended up fixing a lot of the damage, and making some minor upgrades here and there on it's journey back to awesomeness.

Unfortunately, the car needed to be sold again, and has now been converted to a Spec Miata turning hot laps at VIR and Summit Point. It's current owner loves it, and I'm happy the car didn't end up getting parted out.

My next Miata will be better, faster and inherently better, though if given the chance, I'd buy this one back in a heartbeat.

In any event, feel free to enjoy the following pages. Below is a list of mods that were done to the car at some point over the 11 years I owned it.
