I bought a 1996 SPi JDM auto about a month ago and love it. I have wanted one for a long time and the wife’s stamp of approval required 1. air conditioning and 2. an automatic gearbox so a Japanese import was the only option that fit the bill. It’s a 35 year anniversary edition and only has about 60k miles. Unfortunately it came with some undisclosed issues. I’ve found a rattling auxiliary fan, squealing A/C compressor, worn ball joint, broken vacuum lines, and a poorly shifting gearbox in my initial inspection. Obviously, the shifting issue is what led me to find this very informative message board. I’ll post about my particular issue in another thread but wanted to introduce myself here first. Thanks for having me and I’m excited to be a member! Link to other thread: autominiregister.proboards.com/thread/2254/3rd-gear-weirdHarrison

I can be contacted on sales@ap2.world
***** SAFETY NOTE! *****
It is always best to replace the ball joint when worn so as to avoid safety critical issues such as fatigue due to adjustment and subsequent binding of the ball joint in the now crossed over oval top cap.
And now, welcome to the group, there are lots of friendly and helpful people on here ready to give advice and encouragement when needed

Thanks for the safety note, Mira-minis. I’ve ordered the rebuild kit and will get that replaced ASAP.
And thanks for the welcomes, I look forward to getting help and helping others where I can.

Hello Harrison,
I'm Chris from Oklahoma, we have an 95 JDM Auto currently waiting on a Transmission from mra-mini and a 92 manual. What part of Oklahoma, we are in Ardmore?
Maybe we'll cross paths.
