Intake and exhaust probably

Back to DSM's, this one popped up on craigslist. Looks like shit, but could be worth checking out.

As far as the eclipse goes, looks like shit as in you don't personally like the way they look right? Cause that's one of the cleaner ones I've seen

My expertise on the Camaros and the LT1 in general, the one with a new waterpump is beneficial to you, so ask the white one's owner when(or if) he did a waterpump on that car(I noticed "new rebuild" but you never know), they're gonna blow, trust me. Pertaining to unmentioned things, also I'd ask them both if they've replaced the distributor(Optispark) it's basically the notorious weak point of the motor and I needed to replace it on both a 100k example I owned and a 70k vehicle and all 3 of the LT1 cars I've owned, including the one my little bro currently DDs needed a waterpump at least once.

I more meant the fact that it was converted to the 97-99 body style and has a mitsu badge when it' a 95 Talon, haha. But other then that it is in fact one of the nicer examples I have seen.

Yeah definitely, I'm interested to see the mileage on the one that's been rebuilt.

Also found a transam:

And then I've been looking more and more at mr2's. It's like a fiero that goes faster and doesn't erupt in flames.

Mmm, turbo miata...
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv...169816381.html

I'm worried this one might just have too many miles on it.

Another possibility would be taking this bone stock one:

And bolting this on it:

Anyone have any experience turbo-ing a car that would come in handy?

So, I just got home from buying my new toy.

I'll take lotsa' pictures tomorrow but for now here's the CL ad:

The seller was a real nice guy, let John test it out and took me for a spin on Sunday. Today I was prepared to go all the way up to the $5700 asking price when I offered $5000. He said his wife was going to be pissed, but countered with $5300 and that was an offer I couldn't refuse. This miata is drop dead gorgeous for $5300!

Only things that need to be fixed is the horn needs to be hooked up on the MOMO wheel and my lack of skill driving a stick I've almost got regular starts down to a science and only stall about 1 in 10 times but haven't even thought about hill starts yet. Not bad for only my 3rd time driving stick if I do say so myself. The seller was actually such a nice guy that he guided me through my constant stalls when I was first getting used to the clutch. I can't wait to get good enough to take this thing out to the track!

Congratulations on the killer ride. Now you just need to get some more time behind the wheel.

[kdracer73]

Now gotta go this route.... more low end torque will make it harder to stall !
