Hi,
SWMBO and I decided that we'll give up our auto-x season this year, campaigning her RX-8 in C-Stock, and save up the money and time to run some HPDEs (and maybe a TT event by the end of the season). I've had the good fortune to be able to get out on track a few times through the Wreck Racing team, and ran a 24 hour Lemons race a few years ago and have really enjoyed it (who wouldn't?), so now it's time for me to put together my own track car.
The answer? Miata of course!
I have never really liked convertibles, but since the goal with this car is the most fun for the least money, I found it hard to come up with anything better than an NA Miata. I've always loved driving them and the cost of consumables is just dirt cheap.
She's a 1990 in pretty decent shape. I picked it up for a decent price (below challenge money). The chassis has 257k miles and it needed the crank pulley replaced (hence the low price). The previous owner had just replaced the tires and had the head gasket redone. She had the timing belt and water pump + pullies replaced and when the shop when to put everything back together they found the worn keyway and told her she needed a new engine. The crank was hardly worn, so I decided to pick up the car.
After replacing the crank pulley and key, and applying some super Loctite , I fired it up and had a great running car!
