My 1992 Mazda Miata will probably get a 302 transplant when I quit racing. I asked the wife about buying the Monster Miata kit just in case they go out of business before then. The "no" was pretty quick coming back.

that 89 Supercoupe would make a fantastic chump car. HUGE fuel tank and can be fast. I hear micheal loves them too.

I'd put money on the head gaskets blowing in the first 30 minutes of the race. My SC was an 80k mile throw-away car.

Its easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission!

The head gaskets went "poof" during an autocross in College, so I wouldn't bet any money on enduro longevity.

However, having the check-engine light come on on a top-speed run up 75 in Richardson at about 145-150 (not too sure since the speedo stopped at 120) and then start "dinging" due to excessive boost pressure was pretty impressive. To this day, Michael doesn't remember hearing the "ding"... I did though.
