    Default Anyone looking for a cheap project Miata?

    Click here.

    This car has no title so must be used for racing or parts. Was going to build for d prepared so the windshield has been removed and car has been stripped. Everything removed will go with the car. Racing Beat intake, pro circuit coilovers, flomaster muffler(not on car), corbeau forza racing seat. Original engine, runs and drives great. Car is in Shreveport, LA must be picked up no shipping. Asking $800

    Man, if I had a truck and trailer I'd have to drive out and check it out just for giggles.

    I know a guy with an Expedition who would be willing to help you pick up the car, you need to provide your own trailer (U-Haul)

    I'm thinking rattlecan "safety orange" would be a good color.

    I also emailed them. Never returned my email, probably sold. Too bad that you cannot snipe on the pointy board.
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    I will tow the trailer with my truck if someone wants it. All I ask is split the gas and some parts to be determined
    I live where even the coyotes won't go...

    I put that picture in to see if some else spotted that they are the Kuhmo Ecsta tire or not. Also the direction is pointing the wrong way
