/mg/ - Miata General

this, vlsd is plain horrible, no matter the car
350z, early rx7 fd, it's SHIT

just watch out for the togichi fuji lsd from NB 2003, they tend to disintegrate for no reason, 2004 onward are supposedly ok again
they are actually better since they have preload unlike torsen from earlier years

Should I buy a miata?

If you want RAW, then throw in some poly suspension bushings. They're probably cheaper than new rubber ones so as not to offend your poorfag sensibilities. You could get a rollbar and some door bars and various other chassis stiffening bits too. Make that shit stiffer than my cock gets when I'm thinking about plowing man ass.

Ya man, I killed mine at stock power with a few years of autocross.

Yes.

OK. I will buy a miata.

My miata is so fun to drive it's fucking great. Rowing through the gears while redlining slowly past other cars at 25mph is so fucking fun I can't explain it. It's like being able to think you're driving a racecar but you're going at safe speeds.

Honestly if the miata was any faster stock I would have probably died at this point, not even joking.

excellent
take HPDE or do a few autox and learn its limits in a safe environment
or dont, hooning is stupid fun inna miat

Whats it like having a turbo miata? Is the time and money you put into it worth it for you?

absolutely
if you havent experienced moderate power inna light car then you havent lived

well it really depends on the condition of youre cars power/drive train, youre power goals, and how you treat youre stuff
if you are going for a lower power setup and your cars engine and trans are in decent shape/ you dont abuse it
you can pretty reliably run 6-8 lbs boost for a long while with marginal additional wear to components and just basic upgrades that are usually included inna tarbo kit
BUT if your shit is been flogged to within an inch of its life, your gonna start breaking things and end up spending extra dosh on things
that aside, like said, a moderate gain in power over stock makes a light car feel absolutely hectic
ive never met a person or read about someone who legit regretted going FI and ive beat on/tracked miatas since early 2000's
