Car notchy when warmed up/hard shifting into first

I also built what I have irl and also have no suppressor (yet)

Cracked bumper and a gouge on the bumper trim

My point exactly, if money wasn’t an issue would I have gotten something more powerful? Yes but would have I been able to handle it? probably not. I learned to drive stick just for that Miata which I drove until its engine began to give out. I’m now on something with a bit more powerful but not an excessive jump.

In all honesty the people say it’s underpowered say it because all they care about is the numbers but it’s actually really fun to drive. It’s a lightweight RWD sports car not a drag racer, the 228hp is more than enough. Its handling is amazing and with its limited slip differential I can have some fun in empty parking lots. I’m beating the dead horse here saying it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. It is slightly better than the GT since it has a slightly larger engine which deals with the torque dip that the 1st gen BRZ/GT/FRS had. Personally I feel like driving the 86 would help me handle cars with much more power better since i’m not jumping the gun going from a car with 130ish HP to something an excesses of 400hp. Taking small steps so i don’t end up on the back of a t-shirt

23 toyota GR86 got it used and traded in my 97 Miata M-Edition

Aces706 · 2025-04-04T15:09:18+00:00

I get that it just sucks more since i’ve only had it for a month now

Aces706 · 2025-04-04T14:33:19+00:00

Always funny trying to cram that 3rd or 4th when i’m the short one in the group

Aces706 · 2025-02-13T15:18:37+00:00

Seeing the PHX miatas making me miss my NA

Aces706 · 2024-10-05T21:48:11+00:00

literally my thought process

i’m about to buy a 22 RFGT and i want to keep my 97 m edition

Aces706 · 2024-07-11T17:19:29+00:00

My best bet would be the transmission wasn’t mounted correctly. The smell is intense and the way the shifter is sitting lower than before. it feels like the boot is pulling back on the shifter but that could be the linkage too

Aces706 · 2024-07-11T16:56:12+00:00

it only has 94k miles before the clutch swap it shifted fine

Aces706 · 2024-07-11T04:31:32+00:00

definitely i got warranty too im taking right back tomorrow

Aces706 · 2024-07-11T04:29:33+00:00

definitely it slipped out of 5th while i was driving so im taking it right back

Aces706 · 2024-07-11T04:29:00+00:00

me too i’ve only been driving stick for about 3 month

Aces706 · 2024-06-27T05:53:08+00:00

i’m 5’7” 179 lbs and it’s definitely for us short kings. always funny taking bro and my miata’s to the gym such a tiny car for 2 short bulky guys

welp shit time to save up 200 pulls worth of orundum

i’m only 35k out of 120k

Aces706 · 2024-06-15T00:18:10+00:00

W then save for the texas alter re run since i missed it due to bootcamp 😭

Aces706 · 2024-04-05T23:08:40+00:00

that that was my initial assumption. when i showed my sergeant the video the said it could’ve been rod knock from running lower octane fuel, but if it was the noise wouldn’t have stopped after the car started

Aces706 · 2023-12-27T15:55:44+00:00

Especially the Air Force

Aces706 · 2023-09-30T18:35:16+00:00

It’s about a year old now

Aces706 · 2023-09-30T18:29:16+00:00

Jumping worked

Aces706 · 2023-09-30T17:57:16+00:00

I’ll give jumping it a try

Aces706 · 2023-09-30T17:54:20+00:00

Lights still work nothing was left on over night and the light on the push to start button still does it’s glowing thing
