It'll look nice, and be in the $4000 price range. Then if you get the need for speed later on, dropping in a WRX drivetrain is a pretty well understood task.

But you have to be willing to put in the elbow grease. By the looks of that Miata you had, you've got the experience for such work... but if you're coming off a project car, you may not want to be getting right back into one.
thanks for the idea. sperry, im meachnically inclined as you noticed from my previous miata, but im not sure if i want to jump right into off the bat. im thinking of just saving more money and keep an eye out for a nice 2000-2001 rs that pops up.
