If it came with a better / higher torque curve I’d be okay with that

Man, they really don’t want these to make into a second generation, huh?

I have an ‘85 and agree with pretty much the whole article. It’s fun, plain and simple. No it isn’t fast, that’s not the point. Like anything else, if taken care of, it will last. A couple weekends ago I put 1400 miles on it, driving from home near Cleveland to the Tail of the Dragon and back. No issues, just a lot of…

Hey it’s five years later and they’re still around

I was there two weeks ago and these were not on display (well, the 2000GT was). Where is this, if they still have the Porsches and lowriders set up? I wonder if it’s one of the areas they had closed off when I was there

Hot damn. Just went out to the garage and tried it, it works! Thank you for saving me a lot of time going forward.

On my 1985 RX-7 (FB) if you push the lock down then close the door, it unlocks. Makes it all but impossible to lock the keys in the car, but also makes it a pain to actually lock the car. This is on both doors.

My ‘85 RX-7 (last year of the FB) is half in a similar spot -it’s 50/50 between readily available and entirely unobtainable parts.

Do you think they’ll take the bait?

I’m very concerned about the car with a 37 cSt crankshaft.

I agree - safety things are good ideas for sure. I’m just saying that it’s absurd for the government to mandate this sort of thing and force the market. If people want safe cars, they will buy safe cars and incentivize the manufacturers to make safer cars. Mandating it and driving the cost of cars up to the point that…

Just because things are one way doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be another

1) If I’m driving, you’re wearing your seatbelt before my car moves, not that difficult. If someone is so set on not wearing it for whatever reason, they can take responsibility for their own decisions, and get out of my car.

Why should you be paying for my healthcare and emergency services? That is as absurd as the mandated nannies.

Just scoop it up with the rest of the car

See, here’s the thing - if I decide not to wear a seatbelt, I’m the one who faces the consequences in a wreck. It is not the government’s job to be everyone’s nanny. By all means, offer an optional seatbelt buzzer on your car, but if it saves me $7 on the cost of the car, I’m not checking that box. I’ll just wear the…

But see, taking the frame with it makes sense because there is some actual benefit to having it down!

Superglue. And some patience.

“Cool”

My understanding is that it makes it easier to see your tires and where exactly you are since the a-pillar folded down - but it doesn’t here.
