autorenegade Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 the new new mazda ibuki mx-5 is hell ugly, well it is in my opinion anyway, the front is so plain and simple, but apparently now its got a perfect 50:50 weight ratio, when i drove the older mx-5 SP (the limited release turbo model) it basically flew, the handling was incredible, but now mazda just wrecked one of the best sports cars ever made, <_< but in its place its put the new mazda MPS turbo...*drool* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/90923-the-new-mx5/page/2/#findComment-1644043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kralster Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Yeah the new RX3 is going to be based on the new mx-5 chassis but with a steel roof. And it's gonna have a 13B in it. That'll be so sweet. Also if anyone has the new motor magazine they have this small section about the new mx-5 versus a boxter at a racetrack and the mx-5 carry's just as much corner speed as the porsche. Great little car. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/90923-the-new-mx5/page/2/#findComment-1644054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver-Arrowz Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 The MX5 always had 50:50 balance. The S2000 is a great car but I could never get over the steering feedback. Honda feel that the electronic powersteering is the way to go, but in a sports car I'm sure drivers want more feedback.

PHATR32 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 theres a guy here in perth with a N/A 13B in a mx5. checked it out at the drags, the whole engine bay, everything was chromed, looked hell sweet. unforutnetly he didnt run totally awesome times, i think it was more of a show/cruise car. A turbo would have fixed his problems. steve Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/90923-the-new-mx5/page/2/#findComment-1645653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
