    TT's 97 Montego Blue

    This is my second time around, my previous was 10AE 5824/7500. I sold it in '97, and last year my son found this one for me. He was so impressed with it, I bought it sight unseen the day before we left for a three week trip to Alaska. I drove to Atlanta from Chesapeake, VA when I returned and trailered it to the Hard Dog shop for s HDDD install, then home to VA. I have fallen in love all over again, and now my son and I both have NA's.

    And I am also ISO any of my old friends from the DG2K, particularly the guys and gals from the "Team Pointless" antics. I would really love to get hold of some of the images from the "Dress and Drive" held by the "Team Pointless"
    bunch.



























    These are after I had a new radiator, new Koni Yellows, Kosei K1 wheels, R1R tires and the hard top which I had painted to match the car paint (horrible red paint before)

    TwistieTweaker! Awesome to see you here. I miss the old Darkside days.

    Great car you found. It reminds me a lot of Sharka's 97 body I had back in 2000.

    Hey, how are ya? I miss my 10AE, but mostly miss all the money I spent modding it before I sold it! I love the NA as well, mainly cuz it just about bone stock and still has the essence of roadster. Not planning on modding it much, just the dangly bits that I have to replace.

    Did you get Dweezil to approve the name Layla for your car? I believe that's what he named his latest Miata. Actually, I'm not sure he still has his Layla. He goes thru cars too quickly.
