Can that be real? I'm thinking of western union transfers from Nigeria with that price.

Looks like a steal. I should buy it for parts.
SF phone number.


I thought the blue SD was a repaired salvage to begin with?

Im 6'2" and had a motorola cup miata, and fit without a problem. Now Im building a 91 rx7 and am convinced that its the track car to have right now. Cheap and easy to work on and own, and VERY competitive in its class.

I have also been working on the build for about a year and a half, so unless your planning a really superficial build, plan on outsourcing all of yoru labor, or have tons of time per day to dedicate to it, I would reccomend buying a pre-built car. The "drop a roll cage and two or three mods and go racing" philosophy isn't really accurate.

If you only want a track day car, just do what krazik was reccomending and get a nice welded cage in your car. If its done right it wont eat up any legroom. Ive sat in cars with those cusco bolted in cages, and I know they do eat a good chunk of room, but a pro-spec welded cage wont.

Yeah looks bogus to me too. Claims MY00 with factory interior mods and spoiler, but photo is of an '02-'03 with no spoiler and '04-'05 rims. Looks lowered too.

You could always buy my CRX, Mark. I've posted it on Craigslist at $2500, but I'd sell it to someone I know for less than that.

There's a local guy with a race-prepared CRX, who gave me a ride at Spokane last June. It was amazing what a good driver can do with a FWD car. That little thing, with something like a 130bhp engine, was not passed by anybody in the inistructor group, in the ten or so laps I rode with him.

Nevertheless, I'd like to have RWD car for my track car. Thanks anyway.

Turns out it is a scam. The car in the pics belongs to a local guy here in San Diego. Others here recognized it, called him, his brother happens to be a cop in SF, and they are now investigating.

Hardly worth all that drama. Somone stole pics of his car, hardly a big crime. Shady yes.
