Finding one that isn't thrashed may be more difficult than an old bockster though.
Also by narrow tire, what I meant is not super wide as is the current fashion craze.
Don't view having to go up or down a little as a major problem myself. The nominal widths/ODs vary a little brand to brand anyway. If compound isn't exactly what you wanted, adjust driving style to suit. IMO there are plenty of acceptable tires in 17 and 16 and even 15 and smaller. Just got...
Yep yep like I say I am also stupid enough to use a Lotus or other 890kg car for a pothole daily. Luckily some how managed to avoid it so far... probably because hard to find or hard to afford.
I feel the smaller wheels on these older MR's can be a blessing. In regards to road imperfections...
At the prices the 1g bocksters go for. If something catastrophic goes wrong, throw car away go buy another one. That tip is for the IMS worriers. Unlikely scenario from what I've heard.
Also on the topic of the 180 whp or whatever it is they have.. if that is not enough, you're doing it...
I got an automagic blockster to commute and scratch that MR physics itch. Until I get something more scalpel-ish to carve on weekends. The slushie machine and fatty extra weight is probably a good thing for keeping sane in daily traffic.
Exactly, it can sound fine. And the way I figure it.. to each their own. A guy who goes through the trouble of posting on a forum about using only one speaker, he probably should go ahead and use only one speaker. I've done it before when one broke. And I was broke. Also did the 7.2 thing...
I'd rather have an 80k good condition boxster than pay a lot more for a 40k example. I think boxsters suffer from that same hair dresser image bs thing the miata has. Not that I give a shit what other people think of what I drive. Also the egg headlight thing.. but those are the kinds of...
Its too bad 986's are not lighter. Those things are at such a low cost right now. I don't even particularly care for them but I want to shop for one just because of the bargain they represent. I feel like they are 500 pounds away from greatness.
Same thing with Fieros, I feel like maybe they...
Good point, I've seen some of the motor swapped Fieros online and those can be fast. Hell even bone stock a GT offers decent pull. The later GT's have really good looks too. You forget how pretty the late ones can be until you see a clean one in person.
On the poor man's mid motor hunt this is my thought process.. the Murray supercar got me thinking about mid motors.
For a light weight H pattern MR.. the Toyota mr2's come close. 1st gen AW11 is a little low on power but the 2nd gen turbo had decent power to weight at 200hp. They have already...
I agree with everything Murray says about modern GT's and supercars. Not only those sporty cars, but all modern cars period. They all suffer from the same bloat effect. I mean sure top speed runs or accelerating quickly is its own kind of fun.. but come on. That 1 dimensional straight line...
I just read about this one yesterday. Cars lighter than 1000kg are usually great fun to drive regardless of v12 or supercar styling.
Yes, one day a fly weight MR layout H pattern vehicle shall be mine. Oh yes. She will be mine.
I think people went to remote login now.. access your 2nd and 3rd system from within your other computer's desktop. The network bandwith, cpu power and compression these days makes it a lot better than it used to be in the bad old days. I haven't touched KVMs since back in the day either. I...
