but I love that yellowbird

I've had 4 rotary engines and 2 rx7s. 1 carbon locked when the car was 1 month old, one popped a coolant line and overheated and died, the last one I replaced lasted 180,000 miles and I only replaced it to put in a 13b. i'll keep replacing the engines for as long as the rest of this car will last. They're cheap.

I spent a bunch of time this fall looking for a track car and drove quite a few 944s. I just love that car. The chassis and steering are sooo much more intimate than even the Boxster, no wonder that car is so well regarded. S2s are tough to find though.

every time I stop by my mechanics shop I'm certain to see two things. A 911 restoration under works and a 944 needing work.

I've thought about buying a track toy as well. It will probably be an older Miata. i beat the pants off that car and NOT ONCE did it whine or quit. The engine is bullet proof, suspension and exhaust mods are a pittance, tires are cheap since they're 15" and the car does not feel the slightest bit modern and disconnected. i don't really thing you can find all that wrapped up in one car that wouldn't require a trailer (street legal). Why did I ever sell that car...I spent twice as much overhauling the Boxster.

I ended up with an MR2 with a V6 swap. Manual everything (windows, locks, non-abs brakes,steering), 2600 pounds, mid engine, cheap (1.5% of the cost of the CTR ). Should be fun.

Yip. Roll bar and harness are the first things to go in. Let's start the insanity.
