Dead Smurf Racing - the beginning

Hi all,

We've just purchased our entry for the 24hrs of LeMons - a 1991 Mazda Miata for $450. It came with an extra set of wheels and tires, extra exhaust, and multiple problems. However, after a quick look at the intake temperature sensor by Zandr, it seems to be running a bit better. Next up is the timing.

Thanks to Zandr for using his Craig's List karma to swing a good deal for the guy who just wanted this old beat-up blue Miata out of his driveway.

A couple other interesting things - it came with Koni yellows, working electrics (mostly), and a working top (that will probably be removed at some point). It also has a "racing" exhaust that means my neighbors are even happier with me than normal.

Zandr brought the car up on Sunday, and this coming Saturday we'll start our first big wrenching session.
