Did you have a point?

 

Actually, yes

A: An asking price in the post is common sense, I found it and posted it for everyone else.

B: I was wishing you the best of luck with your sale

Looks like a very well sorted car and I too wish you luck on the price. I think that if you take your time you may do well at that level although it may need a hard top thrown in to sweeten the deal since most "track Miatas" seem to have one.

On another note, how did you like the 3.08 rear? Mine is also built for the track and I ran into a situation a few weeks ago where a particular section of the track I was running did not give me enough track to make shifting to 5th worth while but was hitting 120mph/6000 rpm's with another few hundred feet to spare before I had to brake. I tried shifting to 5th a few times and ended up hitting my braking point at the same speed (120) or slower. I'm using a 3.27. I'll post a link to a video over in the video thread I plan to make in a few minutes.

Again, good luck with your sale!

That is exactly why I changed the difference ratio...I was either shifting to 5th which is too high and gives me nothing. Now I'm good to remain in 4th. Also, there is the rare time that I grab 2nd and this change helped with tendency to break the tail loose coming out of a corner.

 

Very good information. That's what I was thinking. I'm probably going to look into a change in rear ratio along with a rebuild of my 7.5 after I upgrade my heads to aluminum.

Thanks and good luck with your sale,
-Jason

 

Epic car man but you need a zillion more photos and video to get it sold than what is on your site. You are in a super small market with this and anyone looking at it will want a truck load of detail on the car.

FWIW I also think you are starting several grand too high on the price. GLWS!

 

Yep...definitely a small (tiny?) market. Agree with you on tons of pics...I'm slowly building up that site with more photos, info, etc. Hadn't thought of video...I'll have to do that too! I'm in no hurry to sell but I also know that the price is going to need to flex too. I do have a hard top for it although I'm trying to hold on to it but it could be used as a sweetener...LOL.

My goal is to have the site completely ready to go by the time the November of Grassroot Motorsports hits the press. I have an ad in their classified section that points people to the website.

If it doesn't sell I'm seriously considering lifting the body and putting an Exocet or Catfish on it.
