Should be a fun fixer-upper. Gonna do anything crazy like lift it, or just do an OEM repair and bum around town?

For now I'm just planning on getting running. I was originally planning on going with the lifted Subaru look, but good friend of mine is basically giving away some coilovers for it, so I might go low :d ontknow:

My parents live about 2 miles from there. The first Miata I had was a project and I really enjoyed doing it. It's nice to have something to tinker with again and not have it be my daily.

NA, which I'm kinda fine with. I could do a BAR swap if I really want to but not really interested in spending that much money.

As much shit as I give you on this, I think it's actually a great buy for you. You like your subarus and I've always had kind of a soft spot for the Baja.

Ohhhh me like.

Why not turbo though? I thought these things were slower than a 1st gen crv? I’m not saying huge turbo and crazy but factory?
