The hardtop came off of my 1990 red Miata. The top is in fair condition for its age. No dents, but there are a few scratches. The paint is a bit oxidized in some places. If you are concerned about looks, I would recommend a re-paint. All hardware works and is in place. The weatherstripping is in great condition. This hardtop is about function, not looks! The top does not have headliner or a rear defroster. Perfect for the Miata spec racer or winter driver! Here are some pictures - email for more http://images.craigslist.org/01021101040201030520070811ac060ac6d705823487004a95.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/01011201030101040120070811c8c6e1079e494b2b28004ae8.jpg Thanks for looking! Make me an offer. I am interested in a set of race tires (225/50/14 or similar) or Miata suspension parts. Ed

Hey, thanks for the in-motion pictures! My SAAB's the 9-3 turbo marked GS 93. Ben, it's actually two years newer than Shay's 9-5 marked GS 95. Different models, same engine, same class. I enjoyed the course. My times were not what I would have liked them to be, but I can't complain too much since I was running on street tires. God I love FD's.

FUCK SAABS: I went out tonight to put my slicks on and tag the doors. Aside from it being damn hot, all I had to work with was a torque wrench and deep socket. After 20 minutes of sweating, the slicks were on. I took the car for a lap of the block to settle the suspension. Midway around, BOOOM! Fucking back right tire with a big ole piece of glass in it. I'm a straight retard for NOT JUST PUTTING MY SLICKS ON AT THE AUTOX. I had to spend another half hour out there putting streets back on so I have something to race on. Its my car's way of saying "I'm done with racing" Good thing the miata's on the way. Saabs aren't anything but highway cruisers.

With the heat, it's a good thing that I live close. I'm tech-ing, going home, racing, going home, then coming back to work. MrAutox, the hardtop will be worth much more than the cost of a roll bar. I'm paying for the shipping with the sale.

It's all a conspiracy maaaan. they're after us http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/05/steve-jobs-hippie.jpg

Oh no! Not the ban!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/hot_wire/DSC00990.jpg Sorry about quality, it is a scan of a film picture taken with a disposable... But yeah, I'm really looking forward to driving/racing the car. Brent H is in my class, and I got set on Miatas when I drove his. Fun, easy driving car. PS. A cookie to those who noticed the hardtop. When I sell that part (around $800 on ebay), the car will pay for itself.

Oh, and I bought that Miata. Paying more to have it shipped here than I paid for the car.

I convinced another Saab guy to join the ranks on Saturday. We're taking over

exactly. end of thread. way to pay attention in chemistry class.

If I remember from chemistry, energy is REQUIRED to break water into hydrogen and oxygen. When hydrogen and oxygen rebond to create water, energy is released (the reaction powering current hydrogen cars)

To have combustion, you need a spark, oxygen, and a fuel. Is water the fuel in this system or did I misinterpret?

Group buy on Valentine 1? I think yes.

Hey all, I'm in Maine right now and am about to sign up for one of the days (can't take up the whole weekend) Could someone explain to me the layout of the Sunday event? Which day should I get more seat time? Chief, I'll settle for 2nd place. Stay tuned though. I found a $500 Miata up here in Maine--solid running condition. Original owner. Paint is a mess. The car's a steal though. I've test driven worse Miatas in Ohio for $2-3000 Just have to get this one home!

I like SAABs. Bump

Last I checked, magic fairy dust was not a stock option. Even on 'dust'ers

Man, if only I was spontaneous/partially insane. Nice car, double nice price!

I saw this a few months ago. Is definitely an indy car. The seats are inline. Those are some wiiiiiiide tires! The driver was kinda a dick to me when I followed him into Weilands and started talking with him. Oh well, sweet car anyway!

I have a hard enough time waking up in the morning. Waking up extra early to get all the way out to National Trails and still allow time to put my slicks on is out of the question.

I'm flying the exact same trip leaving next Weds. Let me know how it goes! What part of Maine are you going to? I'll be in Portland...

3AM last night: Mom heard a loud motorcycle (likely crotchrocket) fly by our house in my quiet Clintonville neighborhood. She said that the bike revved three times as it zipped by (third gear) into the 90 degree, blind corner at the end of our street. According to her, there was a big WHOMP then the revving stopped. Three minutes later paramedics arrived on the scene with: 1 Fire truck 2 Ambulances 1 Heavy rescue truck 1 Hearse looking wagon Of course, I slept through the whole thing (I think it's the cold medicine...) This morning, I got the story from my mom. I went down the street to see if she was just making crap up. Sure enough, at the end of the road there was a fifteen foot skid mark through the gravel and straight into a MASSIVE pine tree. Judging by the damage to the tree, the rider's head is pretty messed up. From what I could tell, the rider stayed upright on his bike until he hit the tree - I would guess at about 40mph. Pieces of his bike lay all around the site along with some oil puddles. Couldn't find any blood. The blind corner was poorly marked, and the streetlight down there burnt out last week. Do any of you know of the rider? Is he going to be okay?

I'll trade you my kidney..

Which of these cars was yours? The red one, the pickup, or the one that was attacked by a sawzall and piled onto the truck bed? My cousin did a similar thing - He sawed apart his old VW GTI and piled the entire car into the back of a Volvo wagon

Did not notice this car last night. Anybody got pictures? Sounds SA-weet! Nothing like throwing a big, powerful engine into an absolutely beautiful, well balanced car.

Chief, buy it! Hopefully it runs in a autox class other than GS Free bump for my friends weird little quick car.

My car's a GM In my opinion GM ruined SAAB. But that's a whole 'nother thread for the kitchen...
