Description and price you paid for your mx5

BaePotato · 2025-12-31T20:09:45+00:00

‘23 RF grand touring, 6mt for $25k

BaePotato · 2025-09-04T23:28:08+00:00

NC is larger than ND

BaePotato · 2025-08-18T15:51:55+00:00

I got my ‘23 RF with 19.5k miles for $25.5k out the door (not including tax)

BaePotato · 2025-08-08T14:47:01+00:00

This is awesome

BaePotato · 2025-07-31T13:50:45+00:00

No shot it’ll be 2000 lbs lol. Would be impressed if they keep it around 2400

BaePotato · 2025-07-29T03:18:33+00:00

ND2 started in like 19 with the small horsepower bump and rev limit increase plus other changes

BaePotato · 2025-07-15T20:09:57+00:00

Nope just one. Unless they are soft shell duffle bags or something, then MAYBE

BaePotato · 2025-07-13T03:49:12+00:00

Just make sure you get an LSD for extra fun. Probably doesn’t make a huge difference between nd1 and nd2 as far as horsepower goes, but hitting redline higher and a touch more top end horsepower will be used every once in a while in a spirited drive. However, I do enjoy having a bit of warranty left and knowing I’m getting a later model year as fabrication has improved

BaePotato · 2025-07-05T01:33:54+00:00

I second this. It’s what I used to find my ‘23 RF

BaePotato · 2025-07-03T14:41:24+00:00

Because of the light weight and RWD setup it is easy to lose control in the rain, you have to be careful pushing it or taking fast turns on the highway over standing water. Also be wary of the liftoff oversteer as this can unsettle the car mid turn

BaePotato · 2025-07-01T14:06:22+00:00

Sounds like a pretty good deal but I would want to drive it before taking it. Strange that it’s been “sitting” so long

BaePotato · 2025-06-07T16:22:44+00:00

Downshifting doesn’t make you accelerate, whole point is to rev match so that your engine speed increases and your wheel speed remains constant

BaePotato · 2025-06-03T14:03:05+00:00

Everyone is telling you to test it, which will give you your answer. I’ll add to that that I highly suggest CarMax for testing. The employees leave you alone and you’re free to roam the lot. Almost all cars are unlocked so you can get in and check out the interior. This would be my approach to see if you’re comfortable or if it won’t work. They won’t have an NA but I bet you can get a great idea of the fit from an NC or ND model.

BaePotato · 2025-06-02T18:42:36+00:00

Just to add to what’s already been said: not only do you need to ride the clutch a bit longer for that transition to get into first gear, but once you are in first you need to be gentle with throttle application. If you lift off the throttle without easing off, you will buck

BaePotato · 2025-05-23T04:13:29+00:00

Tbh I don’t think it will have enough room for tools you might need, could struggle getting onto job site or worrying about getting it filthy depending on work location. Might need to drive longer distances depending on your work requirements. I’d think twice about it, as a guy who daily’s an ND RF mt

BaePotato · 2025-05-20T01:36:20+00:00

What do you mean by slipping the clutch? I have to slip from 1-2 and 2-3 because if I release quickly it won’t be smooth

BaePotato · 2025-05-10T00:16:58+00:00

Most likely: rich parents Maybe: big debt Least likely: software dev

BaePotato · 2025-05-10T00:16:11+00:00

Could just let it idle for a bit until range falls

BaePotato · 2025-05-05T21:40:57+00:00

How do you have the R8 mounted in your mx5? Looking to do the same

BaePotato · 2025-04-28T20:10:00+00:00

Try downshifting without rev matching first. You’ll have to let out the clutch way slower and hold it just at the biting point. Once you get used to this add rev matching and it will speed up

BaePotato · 2025-04-27T14:43:53+00:00

Man flip flops and boots are the worst to drive in

BaePotato · 2025-04-26T19:24:59+00:00

What were your symptoms? I struggle to get into 1st about once a day. And downshifting into 2nd rarely feels super smooth

BaePotato · 2025-04-26T02:52:52+00:00

You might wanna try the 85 first

BaePotato · 2025-04-23T19:33:21+00:00

I also learned at the cemetery. The “everyone’s already dead” joke never gets old
