my 1981 Jetta. again.
- nice. these are pretty cool, the coupes are sick. what motor do you have in it? I gotta post pix of my 2 MK2ssofakingback
- Thanks.
I put in a 2 litre 16v with a 1.8 litre head, ported, with cams and HD valve springs, plus a header, oil cooler, and 50mm intake manifold.ArsenicPants - it's running Digi2 with a BMW 3" AFM, a ported throttle body, and a chipped ECU. I used to run 50mm throttle bodies on Digi2, but it wasn't very steetableArsenicPants

- nice, that sounds angry. I have a 16v 2.0 in my GTI, its fairly stock outside of header and exhaust but Im probably gonna revamp it. love that motor.sofakingback

- Im thinking about picking up a cheap MX5 and replicating this buildfooler
- but it'll always be a miatadirtydesign
- Do it. Great fun for the price. As long as it is a mk1.Longcopylover
- I never got the popularity of these - even when I was about 13, when they first came out, they were ridiculed as being something of a hairdresser's car.detritus
- It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.fooler
- Miatas get such a bad rep, but can get for cheap, light weight and easy to work on.BabySnakes
- I used to make fun of my friend that had one over 15 years ago. Now I think it will be a fun cheap project to work on and make myself an adult go-cart.fooler
- My friend is a sort of racer, and he only has good things to say about the Miata drivability and legacy of funmonospaced
- Apparently they can be turned into rad racers and are actually really well balanced.monospaced
- ya we give our buddy a hard time about his, but all in fun.BabySnakes
- The newer ones were more masculine.monospaced
- Great car just don't wreck in em.********
- Miatas are awesome, they were designed to be super balanced and enjoyable to drive. It is the Mazda philosophy and way.sofakingback

Mazda Philosophy
- the Mazda 'Philosophy' would be a terrible name for a car. unless maybe it were being marketed to academics.sarahfailin

I am so tempted.
- I feel like I should own a type-r, at some point... anyone of them but preferably a DC2sofakingback
- I had a DC2-R for a few years. Amazing fun car.DRIFTMONKEY
- I don't know, 300hp to the front wheels.. I'd go with the Golf R or Focus RS before the Type Relektro
- Better just go with a GTI or a 125i. all these over the top hatches are just there for brand shaping. If you spend 30k+ on a hatch, better buy a used S5/M3 etcmekk

The Mazda MX-5 RF looks super dope imo:
