***1st & 2nd gen Mazda Miata MX5's***
Hi,
I just wanted to get some input and feedback, opinions, suggestions, etc, etc.
I my self owned a 91 miata. And here is my input.
I think the miata is a great car all around, only let down is the lack of cargo space, I am 5'10" and i fet fine in a miata, nice and comfy. But the lack of cargo space was the biggest let down, but thats a price you pay for a small roadster.
The miata's 1.6L twin cam, 120hp @ the crank and 100 hp @ the rear wheel, with a 5spd short gear tranny, and a short shifter, and a all wheel independent suspension system all wheel disc brakes, made it a fun car to take around tight turns, and fast corners. The car lacks in the top speed department, but was easliy made up for with its fast acceleration!
But it doesnt end there, some miatas have a nice 1.8, with a few upgrades, and you cant leave out the mazdaspeed miata. A nice boosted rwd sports car, with a 6 spd and up graded suspension and brake system.
I have always wanted to get back into the whole miata thing. For those who think its a girl car, go take a look at circuit racing with miatas, or swapped miatas with LSx engines, or the famous 13b rotary from its cousin car, the RX7.
What do you guys think of these underrated, reliable, quick, fun, cheap sports cars.
P.S. The miatas cast iron block makes it perfect for high hp and trq, also there engines react very well to high amounts of boost, thanks to the strong cast iron block.
