    Rare Specimen

    I bought this car for $300 and it had dropped a valve seat and destroyed cylinder 4. I swapped in a replacement engine after replacing various wear items on it including a timing set, water pump, and clutch kit. Four new bfg tires and a coat of wax later she's getting 40 mpg on the highway and 34 on average in town and about. I know this is a mazda community but you don't see these cars in this shape very often. Enjoy.

    "There's a hierarchy of insanity in motor sports. Normal people think all racers are crazy. Folks who race sedans think people in open-wheel cars are nuts. People who race cars of any kind think motorcycle racers are absolutely off theirs meds. But there's one group that everyone agrees is made up of the most extreme, the most daring, and absolutely craziest people in racing - rally racers."

        Pull that SPI out before it grnades itself and put a BP in it! Will be much more reliable. Otherwise, she looks great!
