    If you could come up with a cheap NC what would you do with it? Track rat? NASA/SCCA class of some sort? Build a Miata Speedster?

    Is it suitable for daily driving? I'd DD it.

    Missing some of the interior, like seats. It has no title, but there should be a way to get one.Some assembly required to put it back together.

    <------ Sawzall NC? I'd probably DD it since it would be much newer than any of the cars I currently own.

    I suppose you could build a pretty decent autocrosser out of it.

    ...and no soft top with it either.

    Is the NC allowed to be built to limited prep, F-prod rules? It would be tempting to build an F-prod because of the lower engine costs and go back to Waterford for a few more seasons.

    Spec MX-5 if it still exists.

    Enjoy.

    Speedster is the way to go

    It's available with the factory removable hardtop, so you could peddle that on Craigslist and try to build a coupe. Or,if the top sold for the right number ,and you sold off some of the other bits it could actually be Challenge priced.

    Too nice for a locost?

    It's too nice to build a locost. It could probably be a DD if someone wanted to go out and by the missing bits of interior and soft top.

    In reply to Kendall_Jones:

    That looks like Bauer's car. D Prepared legal, and looks like it could be dominant.
