Did you get the Memo?
Clicky for piccy
She's been gone since October. But I am glad I waited to find a car.
I know what model it is btw, I was seeing if anyone could pick up on this special one.
Brief Article on it
Rated at 127 HP and 114 TQ, the wee miata engine is pretty sweet. And for 10 bucks/HP it was a sweeter deal.

Sounds like a good find, it's not the average Escort.
How much does that car weigh? Intake/exhaust mods should be easy too.

Yeah, some quick mods are in order for some easy gains. Altho the intake in particluar (i don't know about the exhaust) is rather free flowing and wide. I think I'll start with a K&N.
Edmunds says it's 2464 Lbs. Yeah, no slim-fast-mobile, but the weight doesn't hinder the engine.
It's got a CV axle needed first. Do you know how they differenciate left and right? Like when you order a "right" CV does that mean from the driver or bumper perspective?
And it'll be hard to part with my wheels . I know I can't use them, but... oh well. Anyone can give me a offer, I might let 'em go!

One good rule of thumb: when things are referenced as being "right" or "left", it's always from the point of use. The point of use in a car is the driver's seat, therefore, the right side of the car is the passenger's side.
