Post by Jeff Cawthorne »

40.8K Miles

This is a base 5 speed MX5 with AC and leather wheel option, the AC was removed, but have all the parts to put back in. Body and paint are in good condition, has its fair share of rock chips, and a few small dings. The interior is in very good condition. Stardard features are CD player, power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel, ABS braking, manual vinyl folding top (no cruise control or audio controls on the steering wheel, though they can be added). Standard wheels are 16x6.5" with some half worn 245/45/16 Nexen tires. Will also come with stock header, mid-pipe, muffler, AC system and air box. Won't come with stock shocks, springs, or sway bars. Car has stock seats, stock rotors and pads, stock bushings, stock computer.

2010 and 2011 San Diego Tour winning car

2010 and 2011 El Toro Pro 2nd place by .1 at each event ( nut behind the wheel didn't get it done, the car had the speed to win)

2010 San Diego regional champion, won every event

2011 San Diego region class leader currently

This car is fast and very easy to drive. Buy it and go kick some STR butt!

Reason for selling, I am selling 2 cars and buying 1 really nice car, with more power, so I bought another S2000. I don't think it is any faster for STR, but is the more powerful car for daily driving. I didn't daily drive the MX5, I drove a 2008 Civic Si, but I traded it in for the S2000. Buy this from me and beat me with it, it is a very fast car, and for a lot less money than building an S2000.

$17,995.00

My MX5 finished just 0.159 from winning the National Championships last week. Since Jeff is normally faster than me in this car, that would suggest you would be buying a potential National Championship winner if you bought this car!

Our Max was faster on the 2nd day than any of the cars that finished ahead of him overall, and he missed top time for that course by a mere tenth, let alone the overall win by 0.16. I could not have been more proud :gpower:

Thanks Gary. It was great to you have you and Matt Braun giving me top tips before I ran, as well as a course walk with Doug Rowse. Definitely helped.

To add to everything, the sale of my car, and Max's performance, STR is an awesome class with a great bunch of characters.
