Used XR2 Valve Cover. Despite being rare these are a popular upgrade for Miata NA\'s running the 1.6 L motor.
This is the last one I have but it\'s the most complete. Looks like it\'s just one of the valve cover bolts is missing but I would hope you can reuse yours or source a new one. That\'s the original black paint which has the original speckled finish like the red Mazdaspeed valve covers they did in 2005. The paint is flaky but the metal looks healthy. If you are not sure then please ask for more photos.
*Update:. I\'ve found all the bolts.
Note: The bolt holes on the top don\'t go all the way through so don\'t plan on including the fasteners for that area and the timing cover gasket looks healthy but perhaps a tiny bit short.
Also included is the front timing cover and gaskets that were pulled from the same motor. Most people do this mod to have easy access to the cam gears but with this cover you can decide when you want the front of the timing belt area exposed.
Please note that I have not checked it against the Miata 1.6 bolt pattern but I have no reason to think it wouldn\'t fit.
Obviously the hoses on your motor will have to be rerouted and you will need to figure out some kind of mounting plate to secure the motor\'s coil pack.
Don\'t miss out on this super rare chance to snap one of these up. I\'ve never seen a used one in such good shape.
Again this is my last one and the most complete set up I\'ve ever seen on eBay.

Also... please check out some text I\'ve grabbed from one of the forums as well as some sample photos showing how great these covers can look once cleaned up. This is by no means complete / absolutely info but should get you going in the right direction.
\"PCV valve goes on the front port (vent to intake manifold). See image #5. PCV valve is plumbed into hose and sent to oil catch can (optional). Oil catch can is then connected to intake manifold.
The rear port (fresh air inlet breather) in the stock 323 valve cover must be removed. The hose barb is simply pressed in. You can pull it out with pliers and a lot of force. Once it\'s out, drill out the hole to a larger diameter with a 9/16th\" drill bit. Then tap the hole with a 3/8\" NPT tap. Once it has been tapped, you can use a 3/8 NPT fitting to plumb an elbow to use for the breather hose. You\'ll need some sharp angled bend because the coil packs will be in the way.
For the coil pack, a very simple bracket can be made from thick gauge sheet metal. You just have to attach the coil pack to the engine somewhere. (Please don\'t use zip ties or anything flexible)\"
