    You're welcome to buy the whole car and then part it out yourself so you can keep the LINK.... but it still won't work in a 1.8.

    I'm not really mad about it or anything. I just always really wanted to say that. Everybody else is doing it!

    Good grief! It's like a giant game of musical cars. Will we still love each other without the Miata bond to hold us together?

    Since no one has asked, if you sell the Miata, what's next?

    We never loved you even when you owned the Miata.

    Oh, and F you, Titus! You got rotary fever as well? Maybe POS will buy yours, since his seems to be a dud!

    Titus, one thing to keep in mind is that no bank is going to loan someone $10k on a '92 Miata, so if you sell it as a package, you'll have to hold out for someone who can come up with the bulk of the price out of their piggy bank. I ran into the same problem with mine, although I think pitlab77 and I have found a way to iron out the details...

    Nope, no saws and no sunroofs. The new car will be solely lacking in sky-viewing capacity!

    I'm sure I'll find a way to live with it though...

    I have been in love with Miatas since I was 15 and first saw a picture of one in Popular Mechanics in my high school library. I knew I would own one someday, and as soon as I bought her, I was sure I would have her forever. Nothing has done anything to cause that feeling to waver until now. As I pour over the specs and pictures of the Westfield SEi, I get that same feeling I had looking and dreaming of the Miata when I was 15. Sure, I can fantasize about lots of supercars and such, but they are not within my reach and may never be.

    I think that the Westfield SEi could be within my reach. Right now I am just trying to confirm that I could make it happen. Once I am positive of this, I will wait patiently for FM to finish theirs. I am thinking that I will then drive or fly up there to test drive it. If it meets the expectations that the pictures and specs have built in my head, I will then put the Miata up for sale. But I need to be really sure, because I still really do love my Miata.

    Not that you want anyone convincing you to sell the Miata... But rest assured that you will get lots of folks volunteering to help you build your Westfield... So that they can remember why they don't want to build one themselves...

    I had figured It would be easier to sell the car with drive line and then just pick-up another one when I was ready, but you may be on to something.

    Nope... no Supercharger for the Westfield. I was thinking start out stock 1.6 driveline to keep initial cost down, then add the link, then down the road have a crazy 9k redline, 11:1 compression, IRTB motor built for it. Yes, it is similar to what Keith has done, but it just seems so right for this car.
