Hey guys, I found this on another site that I lurk on.

The OP is restoring a civic hatch to some new hotness, but he mentions seeing a 'sweet 914' come up with a carbed miata engine on it!?

I'm intrigued!

Anyone have info on this?

It's also noteworthy to me because if I'd bought a miata for the 3500 i paid for the 914, I'd have a car i could actually drive when I wanted to.

Miatas arent gay either. that shit needs to stop. it's ignorant

Larry David is funny. ever notice how seinfeld (the show) got up it's own butt the last couple years after Larry david left? because seinfeld was doing the writing

like alan alda with mash
