NOT SO FAST

*double wishbone sound intensifying*

I own an AW and NA and the MR2 is more fun on challenging courses and a little better geared for highway. Or at least feels like it. More revs and tighter cornering is more fun. Miata slides around a lot easier though.

this desu

I like both cars but let's shit this thread up mrcummy. I'll start.
>muh 50/50 weight distribution because I need it to not spin out like my Volvo hitting 5 mph in a turn

MR platforms are all pretty gay, but I like porsches, I'd love to own a 914.

Dude, you're comparing the 1.6 Miata to the W20 turbo? Y?

They made a 1.8 turbo Miata.

How are MR platforms gay?

refer to If 50/50 can be achieved with FR, why bother making the engine so hard to get to?
Why deal with not having room for turbo and other mods?

Ideal distribution is a rear bias
50/50 isn't perfect, it's a meme for easily controllable

>not having room for turbo or mods
Pretty much the I know nothing about mr2's the post
forum.autosportlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=1168

the mr2 is in essence a compromised design, they wanted to make rear-drive sports car without building a new chassis or driveline so they popped the transverse engine in the back and made a pretty cool car out of it
with that said the other guy is right in that 50:50 is not actually the perfect weight distribution that is constantly claimed that's really more of a marketing meme than a reality

>he doesn't procharge his AW11

Are you a massive retard? Cooling concerns I can understand, but hard to get to? How is the engine harder to get to in the middle than at the front? Also there have been MR turbos so I'm not really sure where you're going with that one either. The engine bay is as big as they design it.

That engine bay is extremely cramped, I'd rather work on an FR car with tons of room around the sides.
No shit you can make it all fit, but why constrain yourself and make it hard?

>How is the engine harder to get to in the middle than at the front
....
I've worked on porches and Ferraris, it's 10x more difficult to work on an MR car than FR.

porsches*

doesn't look like he had a rollcage...perhaps.

Not to dogpile so much but realize that 50/50 weight is not ideal, 40/60 is, which is where the MR2 sits. Mid rear is ideal because it becomes 50/50 UNDER LOAD aka breaking, when the weight of the car shifts forward and you have balance where it matters, corner entry, and then you have a rear bias for corner exit which is good for grip to the rear wheels.

Miatas are cool, but the MR2 really is special for its midship layout and a much sharper turning car.

porches

>tfw i got to race against a miata yesterday in my 20v mk1 mr2
>tfw i fucking dominated them each time
mr2 strong

maybe a turdgen. first gen is sexy tho

>double wishbone
hnnnng

Come at me faggots

> looks at strut suspension
s-shut up miata

> muh 50/50 distribution
f1 cars aren't 50/50
step up faggot

haw haw I do love my old porche

>mfw I'm too busy blasting italo with the top down to give a shit

This is why you never respond to tripfags, only filter them.

...

how the fuck do you manage to lose it when you're going that slow

>sub 200hp shitcans
Yes congrats on winning the special Olympics.

from all the lube in his ass spraying about.

I own a Miata but I have to concede that the AW11 is just an aesthetic beast.

near bald tires, going into corner too fast and deciding to lift off and then brake

I just bought this blacktop swapped AW11 today to replace my NB. I'm so stoked, and it runs perfectly. Just needsto be cleaned up and loved on to be a great example of this car

Trying to work on the engine of my Boxster can be a bit of a pain in the dick, just because you have to lean over so much more of the car to get to stuff.

fuck off benchracer
I actually own an mr2 and miatas have been nothing but bros.

Love that color scheme

I'm pretty sure there's another Panda AW with a Blacktop here as well.

I miss my crx :(

>bumps bumper

>blacktop swapped AW11

I wish California to be die. Can't swap shit expect 4AGZEs here.

this post right here is how I know you're an all out shit brained cum sucking fart huffing ball gargling fucking faggot

shame that he didn't die

who is he?

wish he woulda died, one less shuffle steer idiot in the world

How much did you pay for it? 7k+ ?

>shuffle steer

But he wasn't shuffle steering?

an over-correcting retard.

who lets off when the back end slips around.

the fuck did he think was gonna happen when you crank the wheel and brake?

You dont see his hands moving all over the steering wheel?

why shouldn't you move to an easier hand position for a tight corner?

AW11 was a blatant ripoff of the Fiat X1/9.

And they managed to make it shittier than the fiat, even after introducing it 10 years later.

Still better than a miata though

how was your bus ride this morning?

TIL my little aw is better than the Miata "godmachine"

Br/o/ther, I also own a 20v aw11
I didn't expect to find another one here

>shittier than the fiat

True, Fiat was so advanced they made a biodegradable car. Today most of them have returned to the earth.

>Still better than a miata though

Here's your (you)

What a roast

Pontiac fiero was the inferior choice over an MR2.
If youre gonna lose your legs in a fiery mid engined car crash you might as well do it in style.
Fieros interior looks like it was borrowed from an astro van.
American car interiors in general of that generation all kind of resemble the inside of an ambulance with the dirty stained beiges and bulky cheap center consoles.

yes hello nice to meet you friendo

hello brothers

Just to clarify, you want rear bias so that under braking, weight transfer effects included, you're around 50/50.

Beat me to it.

I wish those classic comps weren't so heavy, they'd look epic on my 94 M-Edition

What do you mean without building a new chassis? The MR2 is on it's own platform, I believe. It definitely was a design most likely compromised by a budget though.

was there an mr1 before the mr2

Fucking kys please.

you first my man

>cr-sex

Im not your man, retard.
"MR2" basically stands for Midship Rwd 2wd.
So, no! there was never an mr1, you fucking bus rider.

you took the bait hook line and sinker my dude

>having a life so shitty that you think making comments like this will heal your relationship with your fater

You making yourself look like a fucking retard is some really low quality bait, fag.

I think you should start taking your crazy medicine, my man.

>calls it low quality bait but takes it anyway
huh :^)

it's Midship Runabout 2-seater

my boner has a boner

I own a SW20 but now I kind of want an AW11 so I can do a beams redtop swap on it. It would probably weigh the same as the 4A-GZE.
