Sorry for the lack of action here...Im in the process of purchasing a home here in Tampa and am going to be doing some upgrades to it so its taking a lot of my time. Trying to get the motivation to take off the transmission and fix the input shaft leak and put on the stronger clutch. With work and the house I've been dragging *** lately.

House pictures for the win...oversized detached 2 car garage with full bathroom inside. First thing is having the electrician come out and rewire the bitch to handle the garage equipment I have planned. Again sorry for the slow updates...just been busy as **** with other life stuff.

Lol theres a whole apartment above it so win. As far as stuff for the garage we will see...lots of ideas floating around but we will see what comes of it. A short lift will be likely...its a sub 10 ft roof but for a miata I can still get the car plenty high to make it more comfortable than being on my back. Im sure there will be plenty of other **** I find that I can't live without lol. Ill take suggestions haha.

Any kind of lift is WIN in my book if it's in the budget. It's a huge time saver and advantage to be able to go under and above the car at will. Looking forward to the TonyMontana garage build thread.

9 and a half feet is enough to park an FD under a Miata on a lift.

I know its been several months but life has been not super awesome but Im going to go in a new car direction. Had the opportunity to buy a 993 911 from a partner at work for a reasonable price and Id like to get into tracking it so as to only have one toy Im going to part ways with this Miata. Car is as it sits per the last post...literally haven't touched it since moving into my house. Im just above 30k in parts and such and am going to ask 13k for the car. Car runs and has a few things left to do on it but I think for tall the parts and stuff on the car the price is reasonable. Appreciate all the comments and help as I was working on it but just want to move on from it.

And another cliche takes its wings lol

On a serious note though, good luck with the sale. Someone's getting a screaming deal.

Congrats on the Porsche. Enjoy it in good health!
