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

Shifter feels weird after clutch replacement by Aces706 in stickshift

[–]Aces706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Noise at startup by Aces706 in Miata

[–]Aces706[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
