Not A Question, But A Request

Well, as many of you guys know, I blew up my baby earlier this summer, and sold her to cknight1976 about 2 weeks ago. I had planned on a 1993 Miata w/ a modified GReddy turbo kit, but I keep on thinkin I won't be happy unless I got a 7 Well, my request is this: keep your eyes peeled for a decent S5 N/A. Must be 5 speed, must be coupe, must be in psuedo-reliable condition (I mean it's a RX-7, it's never totally reliable right) I am lookin to spend about $4k. Oh yeah, stock is a good thing. Thanks guys!!

Brother! How I have missed you!

I heard rumours of you and a S(E)X car. Thought ZI'd lost you for good!

I'll keep my eyes peeled, although I'm not sure what shipping from canada would cost....

Thanks mates! I miss my baby sooo much. I almost wish I had just rebuilt the motor. Oh well. That's life. If I can't find a good 7, I guess that a TDO4SH powered MX-5 will be fun as well

On partstrader there was an s5 turbo sounded like it was good condition, and judging from the milage, the guy knew how to take care of it. had 170,000 miles on the motor, didn't say anything about a rebuild. was $4500. not your n/a, but I woould take a turbo over an n/a anyday, (although I'd take n/a over almost anything else anyday). It's in Costa Mesa, California tho. Probably already sold tho

Wow, we almost lost you to the Rex's more prim and reliable cousin. Although ambitions of a monster Miata are admirable, it's nice to have you back in the fold.
