Any of the old british cars it was based on meet the criteria, especially the Lotus Elan.

I would have better pictures but there's a bunch of snow on the ground and my car doesn't run anyways.

944s are dope, but you are not going to find cheap parts for them. I think the miata really is the best buy in terms of price, weight, rwd, and junk yard parts availability. I think a fox body or old 86-94 (i think) f-body are the next best things. An ls1 fiero isn't bad.

adbradley 02-11-2007 06:59 PM

i always liked the 86-93 camaros, and wouldnt mind building a kit replica from night rider hehehe

they run really well on a road track, and are very cheap. If I ever put together a drag strip car, it will be a turbo ls1 in an old camaro like that.

I really don't care for other peoples oppinions when it comes to degrading a miata as a pure chicks ride, many people on the street do this and it sucks, well blow that cheese off their face when your miata goes swoosh past them!@80+ :)

adbradley 02-11-2007 07:28 PM

adbradley 02-11-2007 07:29 PM

i wonder if i can connect a proximity sensor to my megasquirt when i get it that detects me passing a mustang and lights a sign on my bumper that says "owned"

:gay:

Pitlab77 02-11-2007 07:56 PM

Early 70's Alfa GTV. Live rear axle, though. In CA you don't need to have it smogged. DOHC but only 2 valves/cyl. Everyone will hate you if you don't keep it original.

I had a 73 Volvo 142 in college. Same idea but heavier and way, WAY uglier. Very cheap (< $1k for a nice one). Pathitic engine but nobody will care if you mod the hell out of it.

adbradley 02-11-2007 08:31 PM

i think if i build another toy it will be another miata or a f-body or a late 80s corvett

VRTSid 02-11-2007 08:36 PM

like a miata but not?
another vote for 85->87 corolla gts. other than the solid rear axle its basically the same idea.
dont like that?
small F/R is a hard combo... rx7's sa22->fd (but I like first gen the best), 240sx... older celica/supra, Im getting toward the shallow end of the pool here...

magnamx-5 02-11-2007 09:06 PM

I say MR2 or miata. Both have the parts suport and avialability that is reachable for the average enthusiast both can be wicked fast and super sticky. I wish the woulda found a way to make a lighter coupe version of the miata but ohwell taking the top off makes Fuel pump swaps easier. And that is why god invented roll cages. :bigtu:

boostinsteve 02-11-2007 09:30 PM

240sx, those cars have a lot of support even for the stock 2.4liter that we stuck with here.

magnamx-5 02-11-2007 09:35 PM

i love my Ka24e hardbody

LS1 swap reduced the cost in the long run by a good bit... and makes the car fun enough to justify driving it.
