A stick 79 rabbit is the car I learned to drive on. It shares a Haynes manual (so, a lot/most of its parts and construction) with the scirocco of the same year. It's a great little hatchback car with a low power engine and no frills. I'd be careful with whatever hobby poo poo has been done to that engine, making it high compression does not sound like a recipe for longevity, but if it's been done well, adding power to that thing probably makes it a lot of fun.

When I owned mine in 1993-4 it was not super easy to find some parts. On the other hand despite being a small car there's enough room around the engine that you can easily get in there and work on it.

For myself I'd rather have the scirocco, just for the looks, but they cost more for basically the same car so if you don't mind the boxy rabbit look, you can treat it as basically the same car.

We're already discussing names. "Ludwig Van Browntovan" is the runaway favorite. $3,500 is a bit steep, but we'll see how far down the dude's willing to go.

So you got a low-mileage Miata from your grandmother because she was in college (what) and ruined any value it could've had by hacking the thing to loving death.

She had a kid when she was young, when the kid turned 10-11ish in 1992, she started college and wanted something cheap and fun to drive to and from class, the kid then had her own kid when she was 16-17 and popped out the 15-17 old teenager who is selling this miata? :v:

Bad news - my trusty winter beater has a hole in the engine block. It was a great winter car, Subaru+Stick+LSD in the back+Snow Tires = cheatmode.

Good news - I found this for sale a couple miles away, pretty sure its being sold by the owner of one of the better garages in the city:

Am I insane to want to go drive/buy this thing immediately? I really can't tell if this is the best or worst possible idea.





https://vimeo.com/42599218?fb_ref=Default%2C%40Total

So I wanna put this up for sale. I was using it as my winter car but I usually can drive my S70 AWD.
Now for the specs or what the car is. It started out as a 99 V70R. It has 120k miles. Motor has just under 20k miles. The motor is fully built with aftermarket rods and pistons, it has the lighter 2004 and up crank. Custom sheet metal intake manifold. The turbo setup is very unique and it runs a twin turbo compound setup. It will push 15psi by 2k and 45psi by around 4500. I have not ran it any higher then that as it will strip the T cases pretty quick after that. Small turbo is a 16t and big turbo is a GT35R. I also swapped a 6 speed from 04 and up R. The car is ran on Megasquirt 3 and working AC and guages run off stock computer. Car was drive by wire but now cable. Mostly ran on E85 but I did make a gas map so I could run it on the coldest days of Minnesota but it could still use some work on gas tune. Has the usual supporting mods like massive intercooler and such. The radio was stolen and I keep meaning to put something in but just never do. I also have 3 t cases to go with it. I think 2 are still good and we can confirm. I would like to get 5k for the car but I know my market is limited so we will see. I think if I parted it I could get more but time is more important than money for me. If anyone wants to check it out or drive it let me know. My shop number is show contact info and you can call or text with any questions. My cell is show contact info but I wont answer that during work hours. Thanks everyone and pass it along and share it. This car needs a good home to someone who can love it as much as I did years ago. Car currently has a stockish clutch so my wife could drive it. 2 years ago I had clutch masters make me a $2500 custom twin disk as I couldn't get a clutch to hold the power but the clutch could use a rebuild and it's around $400 in parts from clutchmasters so I replaced it with something my wife can drive. If you didn't want to run as high of boost you could probably get away with a weaker clutch as this clutch has pretty abrupt engagement and is one of the reasons I removed it and put a more stock clutch. I would be willing to add this clutch in with the deal for $700 otherwise I am selling separately.
