Its super small. Makes a miata feel like a Lincoln. The cut windshield is also a fail. I wore a motorcycle helmet on the way home last night in 8 degree weather and it was awesome. Im gonna sell the Sprite Ive got and put the SR in this instead. And then Ill try to drift it. Its gonna be so so rad.

anywhere from $100 buck to 8 or 10 grand

something custom is worth what someone will pay for it. I didnt pay much for it at all, but I think it might be worth in the 4000-5500 depending on the buyer.

Considering the lump already in there barely clears the thin as hell unibody, that would be a sight to behold.

Midgets/Sprites FTW. I drove many in my youth and liked them, but I always felt if I stretched my left foot any more, it would touch the back of the headlight.

yeah it should be. With the extra bracing and updated suspension, it should be a fun little car.
