My dilemma - spend money over the next three years making the car into a part-time (3-4 times/yr) ITS racer or take that money and buy a Mazdaspeed Protege and have a car to run now?
140K w/22K on second motor. It runs, but not very well. It sat for three years without being started which I think didn't do it any favors. The color is the Winning Silver, but the paint isn't in great shaper either. Has some rust around the wheel wells and on the sunroof. New Interstate battery, new brakes at all four corners (including calipers and hardlines).
Now why should you be any different than the rest of us? I have three and somebody wants to sell me another broke 85 that is supposed to run ok but with 192k. And another in St louis that is body trash but 84k on the engine....
Hey Mike! Mazdas are like rabbits around here. Seems myself and a group of friends have become some sort of orphanage. If I could drive any of the three I have to work it might be a different story. Oh well...
