Come on, a 911 enthusiast doesn't know Fuchs (hehe get it) when they see it?

Mmmmm...gorgeous. I really like the first gen R8's - if I had the cheddar, I'd certainly have a V8 or V10 with a gated stick. Great under-the-radar exotic.


Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - G.Irish - 01-19-2017

Yeah when I think about it the first gen R8 is probably the best supercar value for a gated manual. A F430 manual costs at least twice as much.

I'm not a huge fan of the exterior styling but in the right color combinations it looks pretty sharp.

I was just going by the listing on BaT. Figured they would be correct. Guess not :dunno:

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/automobiles-sale/401452-ls3-habu-miata-flying-miata.html

Quote:Selling a Flying Miata Habu LS3 MSM. Had the car for 2 yrs during that time I logged about 6000 miles, original owner Tim ( in his early sixties) had it for about 20 mos and 11,000 miles. So total miles on the build is about 16,500 miles.

I drive it every weekend when the weather is nice but cycling between 4 cars means mileage stay low

Car was sent to Flying Miata by original owner for a complete go through before it was listed FS on their website. I bought it sight unseen and had it hauled by intercity Line.

Car basically has all the options including the tubular A arms F&R which was added later on and is not on the original 13 pages build sheet. Cost $3000ish.

I've included page 1 and 13 in Picts the 2-12 can be faxed to all interested parties.
Car was originally from TX with NOT a spec of rust on it, chassis had about 53K miles on it.

Original paint in very good shape except for the usual pitting on front end from hwy driving, car doesn't have clear bra. original soft top with no tear in good shape. Car was and is always garaged after the built.

Car will come with 2 set of coilovers, currently it sports a Fatcat GT setup with
Ripple valve option, cost $2850 + install/alignment. 375lbs F / 325lbs R about 2000 miles on it and the original AFCO double adjustable coilovers from flying Miata spring rate about 500-550ish lbs (yellow spring, blue shocks body in Picts)

The quick rundown
Crate 430 LS3, with Flying Miata shorties and dyno tunning its now at 400whp and about that much wtq.

Stainless Dual exhaust with Cats. The same setup with newly built Habu does have CA. CARB certification, this one does not. Don't know if it can be grandfathered in ? You'll have to do your own research

Rockland Standard Tranzilla TR56

Front and back Wilwood brake 4 pistons all around, rear was added later by Flying Miata at my request and is not on the build sheet

225-45-16 Dunlop Star spec 2 on 16X8" Rpf1 widest setup you can fit without doing work on fenders. 2000 miles on setup, $1600 from tire rack

All components in the built are new, chassis was seam welded, any and all bracing available were added.

Has AC, power steering, antilock brake. All functions in original car are retained
Weight distribution stock car about 51/49, NOW it's 51.6/48.4 a 1.2% shift
Total weight increase is 165 lbs, car now weight in at 2667 lbs

$45,000 OBO

If there was only a car out there with a well sorted chassis and an LS motor that you could easily get for 45k.

Like a Corvette Z06....


Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - ViPER1313 - 01-24-2017

Also, at 45 large, I get to be super picky. The 1970s Corvette lettering on those valve covers looks horrid.


Re: Cool cars for sale that ain't yours! - Goodspeed - 01-24-2017

I know the price is totally stupid but.....I want.......it.

Where you gonna find a Z06 street car that weighs 26xx lbs?

Weight is only a portion of what makes a car handle well. Center of gravity, suspension design and size of tire matter - you know all of this. My Saturn weighed roughly 2300lbs and had no sporting presence whatsoever. No amount of suspension overhaul will make a Saturn chassis handle like a Porsche Cayman, weight be damned. I would say the same thing is true of a 100 something HP Miata chassis vs a Z06.

And a C6 Z06 has an extra 100hp, which doesn't hurt either Smile

I love the idea (ever since Monster Miata was putting fox body 5.0s in them) and it looks great but I imagine getting pretty frustrated with 400hp and 255 tires.

525hp and 245's. Not samesame but similar (3.42 or whatever GM rear end). They just sorta scoot.

Sure but the question is will the additional handling prowess of the Corvette chassis be enough to overcome a weight disadvantage of 800+ lbs? The Miata is already an excellent handling platform, even if it's not designed for 400 whp.

And 400 hp with 255 tires? No problem, I've got 200 hp going through one 190 tire and I can assure you it's no problem. Granted I've got really advanced traction control but still.

It's called balance. Have fun hauling a 400rwhp miata that is modified to the same level of grip as a corvette. There is a reason high horsepower cars are both longer and wider...

I totally understand this concept, but some people say it's about the motion in the ocean. If you're shorter and narrower you've gotta work it twice as hard.

Definitely scootin'!

There's a joke in here somewhere about how guys always overestimate their wheelbase or something.
