Wow, two ugly Miata threads at once. We need something to offset the horrible.

A long day with some good rubbing compound, hope the red base coat survives.

Not worth the effort; there's plenty of unmolested ones available.
Current bid: $217.50

If the other messed up miata sees this one it will get some of its self esteem back. That's a train wreck compared to the Alfa Miata.

It would be pretty fun to remove all the stereo equipment put in a decent suspension and maybe a sc or turbo, some decent wheels and tires and show up at an autox. Nobody would suspect you to actually be fast in a car that looked like that.

Previously seen in the FM shop:
Make fun if you want. It's got a 2.0 with a twin-screw and puts out over 300 at the wheels while making the most incredible scream...

Is that a bolt up dyno?

I kinda like it. At least its painted and not a wrap. I hate wraps.

Yes, that's a bolt-up dyno. Much more accurate than a drum. Here's an old writeup about it: http://www.flyinmiata.com/tech/rototest.php
The "skull car" was hand-painted. It was terrifying to work around, I was always afraid of damaging the paint.

A Miata is always the answer. This guy just asked the wrong question:-D

In reply to Keith:
I'd be worried the paint job might berkeley up that beauty of a dyno.

Okay, there are now 5 bids, and it's made a precipitous climb all the way up to $222.62.

On the skull car: just think how many race tires he could have bought with that money...
