That's the exact car I'm looking at. Keith is getting me more details on a few things I'd like done. I didn't want to post it to limit possible competition. :)Quote:

I road the poop out of a 97 TL1000S. It is the 2 wheel standard for horrible suspension and brakes. ...I was 20 years younger too. Oh well... the wife has me well insured and I can go smiling. ;) I don't doubt there will be upgrades needed during the learning curve, but I think it'll be entertaining at min.Quote:

A bit of parting out has already occurred but the suspension, brakes and wheels and tires are still there.
Its Bert! Nice car and well loved.Quote:

Sounds like a few of you know this car. Anything that could be shared about it and how it was used post conversion?
Deal has been made and deposit made. Tentatively taking delivery in CO Aug 8th. :)
Congratulations. Have fun with your Miata.
Miatas at Hallett is coming up in Sept. http://www.dfwmiata.com/threads/2588...ett-9-12-13-14
Thanks.Quote:

Very cool, I hope to see the car when you get it.
Do you have any changes in mind for wheels, tires, suspension & brakes?

The rear is getting the big brake kit to compliment the front kit. Front will have new pads and a proportioning valve is being added. The front is also getting the cooling duck while they are changing the hubs. I'm going with a set of Kasei K4R wheels in 15X8. The suspension is being adjusted but staying with the current components.Quote:
