Turbocharged, Safari-Style 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata
This striking 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata, affectionately dubbed the "Tiptonic Turbo Safari," hails from the sunny streets of Los Angeles, California. Originally manufactured in 1991, this timeless roadster has undergone a transformation worthy of its own adventure story.
Initially acquired by the current seller in stock configuration in 2021, this MX-5 Miata has since been turbocharged and outfitted with Safari-style modifications, giving it an rugged yet stylish appearance. Underneath its distinctive exterior lies a 1.6-liter inline-four engine that's been resealed and fitted with a Flyin' Miata 50-state-legal turbo kit. To ensure seamless power delivery, the engine is paired with a Stage 2 clutch and stainless-steel exhaust system by Paco Motorsports.
The Tiptonic Turbo Safari is not just about raw power; it also boasts impressive off-road capabilities courtesy of its lifted suspension, wheel spacers, and rugged all-terrain tires. These modifications enable it to tackle varied terrains with confidence.
Other notable features include custom-built fender flares, a color-matched bumper swap, and an upgraded stereo system to keep the driver company on their adventures. With only 135,000 miles on the odometer, this Mazda MX-5 Miata is not only beautiful but also well-preserved for its age.
The seller emphasizes that this isn't just another MX-5; it's a one-of-a-kind safari beast designed to inspire drivers with its blend of rugged charm and sporty prowess.
