Hello everyone. I h. ave always liked miatas ever since my dad whip one when I had my learners permit when I was 16. He owns a used car dealership and I've always known about cars and was able to drive any car I wanted. IIRC they were a 92 and a 2000. Both were a blast to drive and I really got to push them in the twisties. I am looking into getting rid of my 1981 Toyota pickup and getting a miata for tracking and DD. Basically I want one that is trackable and possibly enter some SCCA races but still be able to cruise the streets.
Now for my first question. Do you guys see an issue in buying a higher mileage one for cheap and driving it till it breaks then rebuilding the engine with good components that can handle boost. I have a shop at my disposal with 2 lifts and a slew of awesome tools, and I'm an okay mechanic.
So HI!

That being said, there are lots and lots of events in your general area on race tracks in which you can drive a street Miata, with a roll bar. These are both lapping days and time trial events, one car versus the clock. You can have a pretty busy summer with that car just going to Lime Rock, which is close to home for you. My local SCCA region's forum is compiling a list of lapping days/time trial days in the Northeast, if you are interested I can get you a link.
