The NA chassis Mazda Roadster is arguably the most fun one can have on a budget, it’s incredibly easy to work on, fuel efficient AND has iconic styling to boot. If you’re into cars, it’s almost guaranteed that at one point in time you’ve wanted a Miata, driven a Miata and grinned, or at least entertained the idea of adding one to your fleet. With many North American market examples falling victim to rust and corrosion it’s become increasingly difficult to find a clean chassis stateside. This is where the Japanese market comes in. These JDM “Eunos Roadsters” tend to have lower mileage and cleaner bodies than most USDM Miatas and come with some choice JDM specific features. This particular 1994 model year “NA8C” Eunos Roadster is a highly desirable and even collectible model, optioned from the factory in J-2 Limited trim with Mazda’s durable 1.8l 4 cylinder powerplant and 4 Speed automatic transmission. With only 79663 original km on the chassis (49,500 verified miles!) this roadster is certainly a rare find and will undoubtedly serve the next owner well for years to come. This Roadster is one of 800 finished from the factory in original Sunburst yellow (HZ) paint. The exterior on this one is near flawless and is a fantastic example of the brand’s most iconic two seater. The exterior has remained largely untouched, aside from a set of clear aftermarket tail lights. The body is free of any major dents or scratches, and looks incredible for a 27 year old vehicle. The barebones styling of the OEM interior perfectly suits this no-frills roadster and is in excellent shape. The original black cloth upholstery on the seats is free of rips, tears, or burns, and the bolstering still holds the driver in quite well. The J-2 Limited came stock with some minor interior upgrades, namely adjustable headrests and a clean and classy 3 spoke MOMO steering wheel. Other aftermarket upgrades include an aftermarket head unit and a KG Works roll bar! The dash is clean, with no cracking or sun fading, and all switches in the center console work as expected, including the original A/C. Finding a NA Roadster interior this clean is a rare sight, and we’re sure the next owner will appreciate the original condition of this one. The updated 1.8l 4 cylinder powerplant fires right up and idles smoothly. You wouldn’t expect 130hp to be so exhilarating, but in this lightweight chassis, it’s the perfect amount. The motor is free of unnecessary aftermarket modification, with the only upgrade being a subtle aftermarket exhaust. Driving this car is a real treat. Take all the fun of a Miata, throw the steering wheel on the right, and you have a recipe for some serious driving pleasure. The motor revs happily to its 7k redline, with no hiccups or hesitations. The 4 speed automatic transmission takes to performance driving surprisingly well, and is a great option for those looking to daily this roadster or take it on long road trips! This car makes quick work of backroad twists and turns, thanks to an OEM set of Bilstein struts. Japanese Spec Miata’s in this condition are a rare find on US shores, and a collection ready example such as this is one that shouldn’t be ignored. Get behind the wheel of this Roadster and experience how less is more when it comes to minimalist driving enthusiasm.
