    Yeah I've got a set of tight fitting shoes for driving the Austin healey sprite or the midget... or even a Miata really

    Man I loved and HATED my miata. I am not a large man but I was CONSTANTLY searching for comfort and space.

    But the handling and torsen diff made it a hoot to slide around at events.

    Those pics you posted are cool as hell. Has anyone ever put in a Miata drivetrain on one? I bet that would be a decent combo.

    Yes, it's a very, very, very common swap. Followed closely by rotary and rover v6 swaps. This is partially why I want to try and 2tr swap mine if the 1500 dies, it's different and I know the engine already. If that fails I know where there's a turbo 2 rx7 with the 13B sitting rotting away not too far from me.

    Cool. I'm not familiar at all with that kind of stuff, but I wouldn't think the Miata swap would be too expensive?

    Finding a decent donor car/drivetrain isn't too bad. It's a good swap because it's the right size equipment, and as a bonus you get a fifth gear! Sprite+midget only have a 4 speed, some rare ones had the electric overdrive option, which is prone to failure.

    I've had what I assume was just 1. I was at work and started having real bad pain. Went and pissed and relief was immediate. So I don't really have any personal experience with them.

    We can tell the true ones that walk in. They have a "duck walk" about them. We get a lot that claim them just b/c they want pain meds.
