'94 Mazda Miata

1/4/07

Back in October , I picked up this 1994 Mazda Miata from a guy down in L.A. Only 55k miles, upgraded sway bars, new Bilstein shocks, hardtop, and in great condition. Since then, I've added wheels from a 2001 Toyota MR2 (with super-sticky Falken Azenis tires), Flyin' Miata springs, a Hard Dog Ace roll bar, and Hella E-Code headlights. The car is in great shape and is a BLAST to drive. I've found all kinds of good information at Miata.net, and have joined a local Miata Club (SAMOA). There is a ton of aftermarket support for these cars, and they've got reputations as "Track Terrors" on autocross and road courses.

'71 Dodge Dart Swinger

I picked up the Dart about 4 years ago as a 'project' car. It has definitely been a project (understatement of the year). However, I'm taking my time, and being pretty thorough throughout the process. I've upgraded the engine (4bbl 360, headers, Edelbrock Performer manifold and carb, CompCams XE268 cam/lifters/springs, MSD 6AL ignition), transmission (Griner reverse manual valvle body, Red clutches, low gear set, 2800rpm stall converter, Mopar deep oil pan, Koleans steels, and Kevlar bands), 8 3/4" rear end (3.55 Sure-Grip, Yukon axles with big bolt pattern), and front brakes from a later model A-Body with large bolt pattern. Now that I've got the drivetrain all upgraded, I'm working on the wiring (replacing the entire harness front to rear with a wiring kit from E-Z Wiring. I've also started on the body/paint on the car, which (fortunately) hasn't been too bad, the car had all original paint on it! I am repainting it the original color (Citron Yella), which was only available in 1971.

'78 Plymouth Super Coupe

I picked up this car to 'flip' it for some cash to put into the Dart. It hasn't worked out quite as well as I had hoped. It's a 'rare' car (not even 500 of them were made), and they are hard to find. However, 'rare' does not always equal 'desirable' as I'm finding out!
