Man that sounds great and a lot of fun, and a great experience.
I would love to learn how to work on this little car.
There is a bunch of little stuff I need to do right now but it can wait
I really appreciate you guys being out there.
If there's one thing we are, it's out there. :wink:Quote:

Cleans up nice!!!
Does bring up the problem with STS2, though... The airbags have been removed. You might consider runing TCSP, though.
OK Just color me ignorant, what does TCSP mean?
Thanks too.
I am not sure if I like the crazy paint though...it kinda grows on you but I am still not sure if I wanna keep it,...I might take off the flames since they are auto decals looks like but the stripes are painted on.
I guess I could add a roll bar and a shoulder harness system for some protection.
I remember seeing that car when it was for sale! If only I could remember what site that was... :x
I think I drifted in to the wrong thread...Quote:

I found the car on AutoTrader.com.
The guy wanted way more than I had, but I called and asked if he would take $6,900. cash that day on the spot.
He called his wife to ask and she said yes after much manipulating on his part....he ran the ad for a while at 8 thousand some odd dollars, I figured what the hell all he can do is say no,.... I started off the conversation with "I don't want to insult you but....."
I lost 200. I put down on a 1997 red Miata at Lightning Motorsports in Grand Prarie, it had a Jackson Supercharger on it and the milage was 40K more than the car I bought....I was a little leary of the SC since I don't know much about them except that you can screw up a motor quick with one if you dont know what you are doing.
I did some research on that particular SC and noticed also there was a lot of maint. to go along with it.
I think I made the right choice.
Welcome aboard :lol: :lol: I'm also living in Weatherford, well just north off of 730.
There is alot of autoxing in Mineral Wells, and it is not that far from us.
Paul
Kewl, I am about 30 min.s from Mineral Wells and have some familly out there but they never told me anything about that.
I used to own a Jeep Wrangler and went 4 wheeling out there but I am not sure what autoXing is,....is that where you set up cones and run a track?
Yep. Most fun you can have in a car with your clothes on. :wink:Quote:

Welcome BB!
OK I started another post in the autocross section of the board.
So here's a little more info on me....
I am an ordained minister, now this doesn't mean that anyone has to feel like they can't say anything around me I am not a Holy Minister its just that I have the ability to perform weddings and such legally.
I am also a musician and lead vocalist, I play guitar and sing for the rock cover band "Spanking Sarah",...formerly sang for and built from the ground up the band "Tasty Lixx" we were getting pretty popular and had a great fan base across the metroplex.
I am also an artist, and published poet in addition to being a songwritter.
I host Karaoke for my day job since a few months ago but for the last 15 years I have been a certified Optician, my certification is through the American Board of Opticianry.
I have fell of a bridge , been shot at, stabbed, snakebit, several motorcycle and carwrecks (always someone elses fault) and now I need a total hip replacement surgery for a rare disease called Avascular Necrosis of the Femur head (I am stage 4) there are 3 ways to get this....
1. You are a scuba diver
2. You have used steroids to excess
3. You have drank way too much
Since I don't dive and have never used steroids well that only leaves one thing.
I don't drink anymore maybe a beer every month just for the taste.
Gosh, then you're not going to find us nearly as amusing.... :PQuote:
