What are you looking for to replace the Miata?

JayL Apr 25, 2011 03:59 PM



Porsche 968 or 944.

Reverant Apr 25, 2011 04:04 PM

Any room in there for a 3076?

JayL Apr 25, 2011 05:19 PM

Not sure, but I hear an LS1 fits.

Don't sell her!!! such a beautiful creature... plus I was super bummed seeing that you are selling it before you let me take proper photos of it...

JayL May 21, 2011 10:34 PM

She was driven off today by her new owner, I should take possession of her replacement on Monday...

I feel like todays only rapture was your car.

I am heartbroken you sold the Miata, but I feel like you will be back again. See you soon.

Are you going Spec 944 or some big turbo 944 thing?

JayL May 22, 2011 06:53 PM

No idea, it needs a lot of work before I can even think about driving it. Then it will just be more lapping days and time trials. Eventually it will need a new engine so I've already started planning on a LSx swap.

Spec 944 is the hot shit these days. Its cheaper than SM and you can probably be competitive nationally since you're getting in on the ground floor.

astroboy May 22, 2011 10:07 PM

Looks good man. Will you bestow us with any threads aboot it?

JayL May 22, 2011 10:51 PM

I talked with a few people that run in spec 944 and they seemed very happy with it. It's something I'll probably look into a little closer in the fall and then do a build on a different car specifically for track use. For now I just need to learn how to work on these things and continue to get as much seat time as possible.

As for any threads on this car, I doubt I'll be posting up much about it anywhere other than what I already have done in this thread. The car's a mess and I'd be truly embarrassed to show just how bad it is. I'll document the build, but more just for my own enjoyment. This forum is about Miata's and that's why I come here, nobody wants to hear about a 944.
