Potential replacement for track car...see inside

Lookin at this soon...if still available. I just like the idea of a nice YELLOW track car that scoots.

Why this one...well, for a 1990 car..paint is usually pretty bad...it already has track wheels 15X6.5 or so...and it has a NEW top.

Might offer $2400 and see if he will take it.

I thought you already had a miata. Will you have to put a hardtop on it to drive with a non-cowboy organization?

not just a hardtop, but a cage and arm restraints

at the risk of sounding extremely ignorant, won't you run into whatever issues that caused you to sell your spec miata in the first place? I don't see how a stock yellow miata will change anything, unless the lack of mad skillz yellow paint was the key drawback to your old car

I'm sure you know, but didn't the 1990s have the crank nose issue? the blue one looks pretty hot and already has a lot of upgrades. Not sure how well the turbo will hold up on the track, but you can always sell the turbo kit and get some money back for a cage and stuff.

add some 15x8 6UL 949 wheels with a set of 225/45/15s and you got yourself a potent setup!

Yeah..I have a totally stock 91 miata..with a 94 engine in it...but its totally stock..to put all the stuff I need to put on it..would cost like $4K or more. I wanna sell mine and get one with more go fast bits on it already..like the blue one.
