Freaking. Mint.My dad found some pics of his old GS a couple days ago. This is from around October of 2006, right before he turned it in at the end of the lease. But it's pretty cool since I thought that we didn't have any surviving pictures of it.
I have little hope it's kept in the same condition if it's been passed around.

lol
To be honest, other than when he drove the car off the lot, that was probably the cleanest it ever was during his ownership. My dad just isn't the type of guy to be conscientious of car care. He loved that car though... I remember my mom making a big stink because he paid extra for the chrome wheels.

Pretty solid engines, those are basically all I work on at work. Main thing to look out for is the coolant temp sensor since they had a recall on those (super easy to replace), and the condition of the turbo depending on mileage of course. But I've seen plenty of high mileage ones run like a dream if they've been maintained right!

Depends what you want to do. Yours is mounted longitudinal so things shouldn't be too hard to get to, unless you want to do gearbox stuff. I work mostly on the transversely mounted ones and those are a nightmare if you want to do anything with the exhaust manifold/turbo. I've rebuilt the top end on one and it seemed straight forward enough to do. If you ever do run into problems with it (which, of course, I hope you don't
), I'd be willing to offer any advice I can.

Took my car out for a group drive with some friends to a restaurant. Every generation of Miata and almost every version, NA1, NA2, NB2, NC1, NC2, and ND in this shot. About 11 cars showed up.

A few VIR shots from back in early June...
(Quick shutter speed on this one, I was probably going about 115 mph / 185 kmh when this was taken)
(Funny how large my car looks relative to a 996 bodied Porsche. Complete opposite now compared to a 991--shows how much bigger the 911 has grown)
(These two shots (both above) really show the suspension working, even though one is high speed and the other low speed)
