I had a red NA just like it. I purchased it from a Miata.net board member here in LA for $5000 bucks about 5 years ago, so you got a smoking deal. I sold it and bought an S 2000 from my client. Those little Miata rocks. You could slide it around all day and be in perfect control. Oh, gas it around a turn and lift and the little tail will come right back and back on the gas. Lot of fun.
Check out the crank issue and get it fix.
One Sunday morning, I was out driving my 930 up in Moulholland and come up to this little miata just like your. He takes off reving it like it was about to blow up to try and get away from me. I didn't think anything of it and let him go. we are in the big sweepers. I cach up to him in the straights without any issues. A little later, the hair pins come and I am working my 4 speed (short ring and pinion with about 460 useless horse power), shifting like crazy between first and second. He was in one gear with a glass of wine and a cig in the other. He wasn't working up a sweat at all. I get up to him as soon as my revs were up in seconds. After we went our seperate ways, I was thinking, I gotta to get one of those. I really missed my little cars. Had a MR2,
