Indeed I do. He doesn't stand a chance (glare) .

I look forward to the competition. The more Miatas, the merrier.



As a side note, there were 4 people from this message board at the event this past weekend. Pretty cool stuff.

question: you said you were gonna buy the megasquirt but how you gonna make up the price difference from what you already spent and the money you have yet to spend(including the extra dollar for next year)? do you sell some parts off the car or something?

I've got a bit in the budget that is "unspent" (after reclamation and all). Furthermore, it'll allow me to remove the RRFPR that is budgeted for $50. I can't reclaim/sell any further items as I am just about the limit.

Remaining Budget: $165.60
Minus RRFPR: $50.00
Funds Available for an Ebay Special MS: $215.60

Sell the stock wheels?

Sell the stock wheels?

The thing is that he wouldn't find any cheap lightweight performing replacements.

The rest of the budget should be put towards a racing wing, stickers, and altezzaS!

I just want to say this thread is awesome. my friend linked me it. I am going to be trading my DSM up for a miata in the next week or so and so I've been reading things here and there on them to refresh my memory. your project is freakin sweet and I want to know how you kept it under 2006 dollars. I know u paid 100 for the car but how the hell does one find a miata for that cheap? what about the paint did u spray that? sorry if you already commented on this, i read a bunch of the thread late last night and the night before.

Thanks, Zach!

I actually paid $750 for the car. The overall budget is posted HERE . Miatas are getting cheaper and cheaper, especially this time of year. With the season turning toward winter, not many people will be buying convertibles, therefore they will be less expensive.

I painted the car myself. It's by no means perfect, but it gets the job done. It's a PITA process that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I have an appointment on the 20th of this month at Subaru of Gwinnett. I'm excited to see what the power output is. I'll definately post the results.
