Supposed to be around 2300lbs according to my guy, which is way lighter than an NC.

A good friend of mine that works for Mazda corporate says the actual ND looks really close to that white render.

Does anyone know the best way to follow this series in the US?

I love those watches. I'm a metal band man myself, but I can't afford them anyway so it doesn't matter haha.

Can I just say real quick how awesome it is that the MX3 has a 1.8L V6? I've seen those motors with cams and ITB's reving to the moon and they sound so cool!

I've heard that my local Hyudai dealership keeps shortblocks in stock for when the new motors throw rods or spin bearings under warranty. It happens often enough to keep that stuff in on-hand inventory. How they are making money I have no idea.

Wasn't that a GCN release title that pretty much only existed to show off (at the time) state-of-the-art water graphics?

10/10 would give a testicle for.

That cake accurately reflects the structural rigidity of the Miata Chassis. Well done :P

Its better than a physical flapper that opens and closes with air flow, is highly restrictive, can't be mounted vertically, and can be thrown off by high-g handling

You really don't need to worry about it until you start going for big power, and want to get rid of your usually restrictive MAF/AFM. Most people go with a standalone ECU (AEM, Megasquirt, etc) and use a MAP sensor from an OEM application.

Ok here's this about that. If you have a MAF or AFM, the ECUis measuring the air volume/flow at that point and decides how much fuel to add based on that reading. Most turbo cars recirculate the blow off/bypass valve (BOV/BPV) back into the intake post-MAF/AFM. So if you get rid of that extra air, the ECU can't see it…

It's misleading. What the Veloster people do is unplug the recirc hose from the intake tube, and cap that off, letting the valve vent to atmosphere. This is not OK on cars with a MAF or AFM, but since the VT uses a MAP sensor, there is no change in AFR's, and you can actually hear the BOV working.

If anybody is interested in how these FD cars are building their Scion TC 4bangers to over 700 horsepower reliably, check this article out and get ready to leak brain out your ears.

Technically that is a hookah. Shishah is the tobacco.

They aren't exactly "equally rare" as the Mk1 MR2's. Even at the largest MR2 meet in the country, of 119 cars, there were only 10 or so Mk1's and 10 or so Spyders. The rest were SW20's. And if you go by post count on the MR2 forums, the numbers work out in a similar fashion.

Good handling is a good thing, but not required for a good driver's car. It's all about the experience, not outright speed around corners, or tossability. As long as you can hear, feel, and EXPERIENCE the car, it's a good time to be had.

I voted. Remember you can vote once a day!

The newer stuff is all online and very expensive. I don't have any of that unfortunately.

To everyone saying "bring back the Supra/Celica/MR2 nameplates" it will never happen. Toyota has never ever killed a model and resurrected it with the same name. They will probably be called something else.
