Hi all. Been out of this game for like 20 years. Fairly recently I talked my wife into letting me build a Triumph Spitfire that my dad had. Rebuilt the thing and put a miata drivetrain in the thing. Then realized it didn't have enough seats for my kids and was kind of dangerous I think... Not fast, but quick, noisy, rattley and tiny. So sold, it looking for a four seat convertible that was a quick street car. Found a '06 GT convertible that was very clean with tasteful updates and a supercharger. Some other guy totaled it the weekend before I was going to go look at the dealer and purchase....
So ended up with a 2011 GT convertible as of last November, bone stock with 90K. Car and available records seemed maintained, but not really babied. First thing was to polish the paint, work on headlights, etc... I also fixed the rash and repainted the rims (not perfect, but cheap solution) Next I did the Eibach Pro kit, LCA's, UCA and MGW shifter. Amazing what a change those upgrades made to driving this around town.
I have an e-force coming any time now that I want to get on before nice weather starts coming back.
Not really a track guy, just a weekend cruiser. This forum has been really helpful so far, so thanks.
