I've been thinking about where I would like to do next to the car and I am kind of stumped. I've taken it just about as far as I want so I am considering starting a new project. I spent a little time last night writing an ad for ebay but I have not posted it yet (getting cold feet). Anyway, if you are into the lightweight type thing this may be the car for you. I am going to let my laptop and g-tech pro go with it as well. Here is what I may eventually put on ebay:

Yes, It is written in html. Not sure how to get it to show up on this forum. If I do list it on ebay I will probably make the reserve $9,000.

One of a Kind FAST 1991 Mazda Miata Lightweight race car / street car <BR>
<BR>
I've spent 3 years building this car but it is time to move on to another project. My loss is your gain and this car will save you a ton of money over what it would cost you to build it. The car has only recenty competed in its first 2 autocross weekends (both 1st places in the XP class) and 2 drag races but has been babied and not abused. The car is a well known project car with hundreds of pictures, and numberous articles written about it, as well as an entire website <a href="http://www.lightweightmiata.com"> (www.lightweightmiata.com)</a> devoted to its progress. The car has also spawned a mailing list forum with around 400 other participating lightweight Miata owners.<BR>

I bought Keith's book on how to build one. Looks like it is WAY over my head as far as skills required.

We went to the local 1/8 mile track that weekend (after the miata.net post). The car was having a horrible time and would not run properly. Felt like the fuel was cutting off for some reason. I have a hood mounted FP gauge so I know it was not fuel related (or so I am thinking). Have not had the time to investigate. The car was running great and then when we pulled out of the neighborhood to go to the races it wouldn't run at all. Have not had a chance to figure out what was going wrong yet. Probably just a short somewhere.
