I wanted to share with you guys.
Here's a link to my latest conquest
.
In an effort to make it fit in w/the 1gen forum, I'm amazed at how similiar my 79 RX-7 and the Miata are. You can deffinately feel the same spirit in both cars. It really is as if the Miata is simply a newer version of the 1gen.
Right now, I'd say that my 1gen handles a bit better (certainly corners flatter) than my Miata, but then again, I've done quite a bit of suspension work to the 7 and the Miata is completely stock. That said, the Miata isn't too far out from my 7 -- and I don't have to worry about any snap oversteer.
Believe it or not, I think the Miata pulls slightly harder, and certainly has a flatter torque curve, than my 7 (which has a mild street port, RB header, 2.5" exhaust to an RB muffler), but I think I have a couple issues holding my power back a bit in the 7 and, once I get those ironed out, will be achieving the full potential of the motor.
All in all, I think the cars complement each other nicely, and I look forward into modding the Miata and turning it into a nice sleeper hehe.
Anyway, here's the link: https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=120419

a bit off topic, but... I AM the moderator... so ha!


LOL
But back the the topic: cool
Back off topic: There is a white miata that, the owner works down the street from me amd every work day around 3 in the after noon he runs it as hard as he can to the corner... and with just that.. I KNOW he can spank my stock rx7 when it runs...LOL
Peace
My Dad has a 91 miata that i drive frequently. Hes done work to the suspension. KYB adjustable struts, 15x7 borbet's, and some of the toughest strut bars a ever seen. It steers 200% better than my FB. But i think the 7 pulls just a little harder. Or maybe it just feels like it.
He just bought a newer miata engine thats getting the flying miata turbo treatment. So, im going to have to do some work to keep up with it.

Now how about that hitman's 650hp 3 rotor 1st gen? Do you think the flying miata can beat that?!

Ditto. My friend, who I have just recently started to hang out with more, drives a 1992 black Miata. Ive driven it around and I really kinda like it. It handles well, and its got some definate power to it
. Im gonna be helping him mod it and what not, so it should be interesting to see what happenes
