The shape looks awfully familiar but I can't quite put my finger to it as to why...
Hmmm.
Ah, I know, that's because it looks like a Miata
.
1995 Montego Blue with Leather and all the other toys, 125k on the clock. Has a very recent Robbins top (owner did a very good job fitting that, it's fitting as well as the OEM one), radiator and a bunch of the a/c parts replaced. Almost completely unmodified - well it was modified for towing behind an RV.
Needs the usual shifter rubbers seals, a new washer bottle, an alignment (bad) and most likely a clutch slave cylinder. And the window regulators lubricated. In other words, the standard NA Miata fixes. Oh, and I need to look into a slight stutter/hesitation under acceleration while it's warming up.
Next on the shopping list are snow tires for "just in case" moments as it'll do a lot of DD duties, and a hardtop, plus possibly a Hard Dog rollbar. General idea is to use it as a fuel saving commuter and do the odd track day/HPDE during summer. Maybe often enough so I don't have to buy another Elise to keep up with the other Miata drivers.
It'll be my fourth Miata and the first one with the 1.8 - so far I've only had 1.6s (two N/A ones and one that had been badly turboed). Jumping in this one felt like putting on your favourite pair of comfy shoes.
