Awesome! That's the idea, right there.
It's very miata-esque as far as autocross goes... i.e. it can dominate through handling alone... however I don't fit in a miata.
Since you've raced these things before, any tips on what I should pay attention to on a test drive? Any thing I should try with the shifter, sounds I should listen for, places to check for oil leaks? I know all about doing a thorough rust check.
