MR2 for sure, always loved how they look especially the back end.
>>14778495
civic
mr2 and put a k20 in
>>14778495
MX5 simply because it is easier to live with.
>>14778495
MR2. its a bit harder to work on, but definitely more eye catching and will attract people to talk to you about your car and what not. Also, more special snowflake so you can feel more original.
>>14778510
Anybody who unironically calls people fuck boys is a fuck boy.
>>14778495
Miata; NB2 best generation up until ND, has better driving dynamics and so on. Admittedly the MR2 is more interesting, though.
>>14778545
In my experience with owning an NB Miata and a flashy-ish sports car DD, people would talk to me about the former at least twice as much; I suppose given it's the embodiment of a driver's car more enthusiasts will be partial towards and knowledgeable about it.
>>14778495
mr2 is cool but you really can't beat the mx5's aftermarket support
with off the shelf parts you could literally make your mx5 interior look like it was worked over by singer or something
>>14778495
MR2
Rs
2lways
Miata
Better looking
More reliable
Infinitely easier engine bay and everything else to work on
Way more aftermarket support, and cheaper
Infinitely more storage space
Both cars have gay stereotype, but that mr2 gen somehow is even more gay
Miata, easy.
>>14778587
with off ther shelf parts you can make an mr2 a lotus for less than £4k
£800 car
£2500 engine/gearbox/lsd//ecu/wiring(all toyota brand parts from a corolla/celcia)
£700 suspension and tires.
Definetly MR if i had curvy roads to drive on.
>all these ricers picking miata because it's easier to rice
I would have to pick the MX5
I wish the MR2 came with a hard top.. why the fuck was it a convertible when the previous MR2s werent?
>>14778495
Zzw30 all day. I've always wanted one. Will probably pick one up towards the end of the year.
>>14778495
but that is a mr-s.
but yea, get the mr-s.
>>14780368
Probably because of the Miata's popularity
>>14778495
I pick an SW20 with the turbo because i'm not a faggot/female
>>14778541
This
>>14778495
MR2, its hardly manly but the MX5 is pure faggotry on wheels.
>>14780215
>better looking
Brush the Dorito crumbs off your glasses.
Mr2 because you can make it an Elise for the price of an nb
>>14778495
Meh, they're exactly the same.
>but muh MR
MX5 NB has perfect 50:50 weight ratio
MR2 has engine in the back but you might feel like you're driving a Lamborghini
Both are cute looking and don't require too much maintenance
After everything it all comes down to your manufacturer preference
>>14780368
I does come with a hard top you dingus.
>>14780368
>16
The MR2 is actually designed to be driven with the top down at all times apart from when it's raining. The cabin noise and wind buffering is actually better with it down, and the heater is excellent. its an open top car
>>14778495
MR2 with a 2ZZ swap
>>14780358
>all these butthurt mr2 fangirls coming up with any strawman that they can after getting btfo

Is there a place you can just buy gauges like that?

Goddamn I wish mr2s and miatas were that cheap in the salt states
>>14781111

>>14778561
>Anybody who unironically calls people fuck boys is a fuck boy.
so you're a fuckboy too? shit now I'm a fuckboy :(
>>14778495
MR2 just because it's Mid Engined and it looks pretty nice with a body kit
W20 vs Miata I would take W20 but W30 just doesn't look good to me so I would rather get Miata in that case.
>>14778495
god damn those mr2s are gross and the engine blows at around 60k miles.
thats why they are cheap
>>14781154
hard to find W20s now because they've all been crashed
MR2
no contest
Miata 2gay4me
>>14780861
whats dat?
>>14778495
miata..
except, the miata with a soft top is like driving in a gocart with .0000000000002cm metal seperating your ass from the concrete

>>14778495
MR2 is cooler
>>14781111
Yeah I'm from NH and I can't find any MR2 in decent shape (read:running) for under 10k
And no miatas or s2ks under 6k
tfw I made a better choice.
>>14778545
>fuck boys
What happened to /fa/ fucc boi?
>>14780908
Why so you can tell everyone your miata can reach 110mph out of 160
>>14778495
MR2
more BHP, higher revs, same displacement, more or less the same weight, handling is debatable (but certainly more hectik)
>>14783915
Lol
>>14781437
In Britain this is probably just about the best time to buy an SW20. There's still a decent choice of them on offer but they're just beginning to thin out, they will probably have the same status as the mk1 in just a couple of years
>>14778495
MR2 every day of the year. If Miata was an NA it'd be a bit harder but MR2.
mx5 easy, the engine can handle a turbo really well and it's been done so many times before there's a shitload of info on how to do it well. Mine's making 250hp on stock rods.
>>14781140
We all fuckboys
mr2 every time, all day

>>14778541
>>14780425
nice buzz words
which jacucknick article did you read that from?
>>14780228
for the cost of swapping in a stock 2zz into an mr-s (160 whp), you could turbo your miata and have 250whp

NB < MR-S

MR2, its mid lighter, lighter, more powerful, and VVT, and what looks like better weight distribution.

mx5 becuase /o/ scared me with the snap oversteer meme
>>14783915
I like the look and all, but it seems too heavy, even with the supercharger
>>14778495
Holy shit that's a low price for a 3rd gen MR2
>>14786426
They're dirt cheap in England
>>14786436
Any idea why?
>>14778495
MR2 because it seems like a more fun and unique second car compared to the miata
>>14786437
Just a different market with different supply and demand
Skylines are cheap enough for highschoolers to own in places like Canada just because the import law is 15 years instead of 25
>>14778495
MR2. Added bonus: if you debadge it you could probably convince grills and other peasants its a Porsche.
I'm considering a zzw30 but I only have one car and live in the gray area between the snow belt and secondary snow belt
can they into inclement weather or nah?
Also post >yfw you find out a zzw30 only weighs 13 pounds more than an NA6 miata
>>14786458
With the right set of snow tires just about any half decent car can into winter, and the added traction from the weight of the engine over the driven wheels only helps
>>14778495
>$1800 for an NB Miata in bretty good shape.
what the fug :DD
>>14778561
> miata is more of a driver's car than a mr2
>>14778495
desu i really want a fucking mr2 spyder
>>14786479
I mean I used to drive a foxbody mustang in the snow, was just trying to figure out if snap oversteer is going to kill me or nah
>>14780798
50:50 isn't perfect in any way
>>14786604
That's more of a Turbo SW20 problem with the older suspension design
>>14786612
I might consider a zzw30 then.
Gotta sell my current shitbox first
>>14786606
yes it literally is
>>14786606
It literally is.
>>14780805
it was quite an expensive optional extra i think
>>14787639
When has a hardtop for a convertible been cheap?
>>14787606
>>14787596
kek the perfect weight distribution; if you dont get in the car or get the car in motion.
might aswell ride the bus m8s
bump for any other opinionz
Tbqh the 3rd gen mr2 looks disgusting. A tidy second gen would be a superior choice.
They are pretty csimilar car.
This is basically going to be a RR vs FR battle.
I'd take the NB though, easier to work on.
Did MR2 came with hardtops ?
>>14789576
MR vs FR
And yes
>>14778495
The MRS but it's pre cat innards tended to get sucked right into the engine and some 1ZZs burned a ton of oil.
I'd be happy with a 1ZZ MRS only if the pre cats were gutted and the engine rebuilt from said damage.
But the cocksuckers here are already selling damaged ones for 9K+
>>14786013
>for the cost of swapping in a stock 2zz into an mr-s (160 whp), you could turbo your miata and have 250whp
implying horsepower is everything
250whp miatas are generally unreliable as shit and prone to over-heating. If you were actually planning on tracking the vehicle, a 2zz is the superior choice.
>>14786268
i want this ;_;
>>14787606
>>14787596
> i believe it cause mazda said so!
why aren't F1 cars 50:50 then, idiots
>>14778495
MR2. It's uglier, less practical, harder to work on, but dear god it would be so much fun.
>>14791322
>why aren't F1 cars 50:50 then, idiots
I'm not the anon you're talking to but cars which receive most of their traction due to AERODYNAMICS don't really need to pay too much mind of static weight distribution.
Just picked up that same miata for my daily today :o
MR2? A Boxster will drive circles around it.
>>14793284
They're also in different classes
>>14793284
>>14793284
erm not necessarily. wouldn't be a huge performance difference. the boxster is a hell of a lot heavier
>>14778495
Miats. But I reccommend the Toyota. They are more rare, they can get it with just a Camry v6 swap (better mpg too). They also have more feels when driving stock, imho.
Only reason I would get a miats is because I'm a sucker for the design and they are p close in all aspects.
>>14778495
mr2 because i enjoy snap oversteer and death due to design error and not driver skill...or perhaps miata cause cuck
>>14793284
but its like a grand or two more expensive, can have a 190hp 2zzMRS for that money
which will run rings around most things bar track cars/lotus.
>>14780805
i think if you get an mr2 a rear spoiler is compulsory to balance the look of the car. looks bad without one
