Yeah, we've been doing our homework, its about low weight, and good brakes. Since there is no budget limit on safety parts (Wheels/tires/brakes) I was going to get my boy to send me a set of R32 GT-R brakes and calipers. Kind of like the idea of sticking a rotary in a 240SX shell... Just cant find a Miata for $500 yet. But the search continues.

Nothing fancy, the downfall is almost everything I own now is staggered.

18x8/9J+38 Axiac's
http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/3218621245.html

16x8J+30 R32 GT-R wheels
http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/3216457527.html

18x8/9J+27 Stitch Mesh BBS Clones
http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/3218648211.html

17x8/8.5J+50 Mazdaspeed BBS RG's
http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/3218677768.html

I'm too lazy to post up more auctions right now, still have 3 sets of wheels, FEED exhaust parts, 2x Kouki taillights, FD3S Cusco coilovers, Greddy FMIC, Copper radiator and 2 clutches... I need a bigger garage.

That's not a GSR (B18C1) engine, can't tell from the interior if it really is a GSR or not.

If it were painted all black and had properly fitted wheel and a stance then it could look clean. But that body work might just look good in pics and be a nightmare in person. But anytime you mold panels is a pain in the ***.

Something seems fishy with this car...reasons

1) It is Orange and Black
2) It has NO other work but body work
3) It may be a crate motor but it is NOT a GSR as 9k stated
4) If it does have "low" miles I would like to know how many because the Air Filter looks like it spent 6 months in the Mohabi.
5)...did I mention it was orange and black...who does that?

I can see in the pics the panel lines/seams look off, I bet there's more mud in that basketcase than a post katrina new orleans.
