Okay this is the car in all its glory ugly as heck, but hey its an auto-x car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) This one is from my first season of auto-x with this car.
 Heres what it looks like today. Made it even uglier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)  Here is the goal, I can sketch ideas, but I can not draw at the level of others on this forum. Thank you 914 Visulizer. and my black pen. Now if I could find a good front view. And the flares are not on the car since I'm not using GT Flares.  But you get the general idea. |

My wife had a 1990 Miata, I added a bunch of goodies, very clean car. 25th anniversary present for her. We where married in Dec. 1989, Miata was manufactured in Nov. 1989. It was the car we wanted back then but could not afford. Wife decided she wanted an EOS sold the Miata, picked up an EOS, son drives it more than my wife, he's home from college (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Person I sold the Miata to wrecks it with in 2 months of car being sold. I buy it back for salvage costs. Lots of good parts for my parents car. Hard top, good soft top with glass window. 1994 Torsien LSD ( they don't need, they have a 1994 M editions sticks had LSD) Wheels etc..... Start looking at it and thinking man that car can be brought back for less than my 914 project. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Sell 914 and all its stuff, build Miata. Nerd in me takes over and I do a spreadsheet over lunch. Rebuild to stock = $3338.00 Swap in 1999-2000 engine 140HP NA in a 2000lbs car $4787.00 V6 Swap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) $7138.00 Did not even price out the LS swap Time, Stock 2 months 1.8L Swap 3 Months V6 Swap 6 months - winter time , so 9 months before on the road 914 Swap in current state - 2 years, unless I hire out metal work and paint, then 1 year of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) around with bad body shop, 1 year to get it done right, and another for me to finish the swap. Exercise talked me out of redoing the Miata. Post the tub onto a Miata forum see if someone grabs it up. I have way to much in parts for my 914 project. I have 15+ in the 914 right now, I should have never done that math. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Most likely more than that if you count the number of iterations this car has been though. Stock 2.0L Built 1911 Built 2.0L Built 2056 Built 2.5L never got done Now EG33 most likely never gets done, if I don't start doing some build work on it. |
