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. <center><img src="http://www.lightweightmiata.com/mainpage01.jpg"></center><BR><center><img src=http://www.lightweightmiata.com/beastforsale/9.jpg></center><BR> 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.

It's time to do the ultimate lightness mod... turn it into a Seven.

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