I check CL every day, evdawg. I'd seen that guy post his shit like every day or two for 2 weeks. "ooh, 91 prelude...oh, same shitbox."
I have no way to retrieve a 944 from Massachusetts, but that's a pretty good deal. Just not sure I'm up for Porsche Maintenance.

That 944 looks pretty decent... maybe he could get it closer to you during race season?
Re: WTB: Base Autocrosser - Apoc - 04-09-2012
944s aren't really Porsches, so they aren't a bitch like to maintain like the others... or so I've heard... I've never actually done any!!
That is, unless you're trying to replace a rotor at VIR a nd you overtighten/strip the lugs. Ammirite Mikey or ammirite?

Find a clean, running NA for $3-4k, invest about that much in new (remember, everything for Miatas is cheap) or used equipment and have a rolling easy button for $6-7.^Agreed. It's a cheap total package car that you can toss around with reckless abandon on the autox course. Even if you don't modify it that much you can actually still play with camber settings without lowering the cars which plays into autox tire wear. They're also a great learning tool as there's no horsepower to cover driver mistakes. And if you break crap or need parts there's lots of people with experiance on here that can help you out.
