UPDATE! - New six puck clutch and 9.95lb flywheel!
My 1990 Mazda Miata
I bought the car nine months before I turned 15 (yes 15!) for 800 dollars from the ex husband of a woman that used to work for my dad. When I handed him the money he pointed to his double-wide and said, "Man, sure is gonna feel good to pay my rent!" He had run into the car a few times in his own driveway and there were holes in the top from someone leaving shingles on it while he was on the job site. It was 5 different shades of red and was what most would call a "heap" Since I couldn't drive yet I had a lot of time to clean it up. It smelled of smoke so I took out the seats and shampoo'd them as well as all the carpet. I put roughly 6,500 dollars into the car to get it to where it is today. THANK YOU EBAY! I am loving the new turbo kit I put together. It feels like an entirely different car but my stage one clutch is not up for the challenge so a new six puck stage three and a light weight flywheel will be going in as soon as possible.
