Both non turbo
Reliability (meme) not being a factor.
What would you choose?
>>14433930
this isn't even a real question
For sure the fc
Miata
FC is the only RX7 I wouldnt own so ugly
>>14433930
Miat. Plus it'll have a hard top so there's a plus.
RX-7 FE vs Miata Spirit R?
>>14433946
>so ugly
Whenever I see one, all I can see is the damn Porsche 944.
I'd still rather have one over a Miata though.
>rotary sound
>more fun
>better chassis imo
>>14433930
dude. how is this a question.
FC
>>14433970
>mfw 944 is cheaper than an FC
>>14433970
yeah
I hate 80s sports shitboxes
at least the Miata is rounded and cute looking
How is this even a question?
>>14434012
So it comes down soley to personal preference? I Guess I just thought the RX-7 was in a different league than the miata so I never thought to compare them.
The answer is always Miata.
Why are miata fans so obnoxious
>>14434023
It is in a different league.
People who have never driven either of them are just dumb
>>14434028
Because we dont have enough power and have to maintain momentum
Since it's split down the middle, vote:

FC, duh. Miata is a meme car.
Both will be slow so it comes down to looks.
>>14434023
a turbo RX7 maybe
NA is loltier and lesser than a Miata as far as Im concerned
>>14434060
>has never driven either
>>14434066
>FC fanboy who couldnt afford a turbo detected
>>14434080
Lol k
>better chassis
>large aftermarket
>more cargo space
>good community base
>rotary power potential
The only reason not to choose one is if you can't afford maintenance or the gas it guzzles.
A Miata's double wishbone suspension is way better than the FC's MacPhearson front and whatever you call the nonsense going on with the rear suspension. This is not even a choice for me. I say Miata.
Well do you like a convertible two seater with a conventional engine or a larger two seater with more cargo space, and a weird rotary engine?
I love them both, but they're so different that its apples to oranges, even if it is the same manufacturer. I have a Miata and you definitely have to have a lifestyle that allows such little cargo space if it is your only car or else it wont work.
The FC has more cargo space, but are you willing to put up with the maintenance? I would like a FC but I definitely wouldnt want the non-turbo one.
Obviously the FC, what kind of question even is this?
An FC is superior in every single way.
Don't listen to the retarded college kiddies ITT who fell for the Miata meme and actually bought that piece of trash.
Buy an FC.
>>14434150
Classic clueless Miatafaggot.
>>14434150
Too much forza
>>14434186
>>14434199
nice argument as the why the FC's suspension is better.
>ITT one guy samefagging responses for the FC
I had a bud who had a convertible n/a fc and it was slower than a 1.6 miata (and my '94 sable) though it was in poor condition
>>14434205
Fuck outta here, retard.
>>14434211
I owned an S4 and S5 vert.
Yeah they are slow. But never had a problem getting up to speed or sliding sideways
>>14433930
>>14434008
>>14434126
>>14434186
OP says "non turbo".
Everyone posts pics of turbo.
>>14434174
The naturally aspirated 13B's are actually less finicky than the turbo'd versions.
Just depends what you want outta it, power or reliability.
>>14434242
>reliability
Thanks for ruining the thread.
>in during downward spiral
>>14434222
You still haven't provided your side of the argument ass to why the FC is better. Here are a few of my points
>double wishbone is superior to MacPhearson
>Miata has larger aftermarket
>4cyl is better than the 13b
Name calling doesn't win a argument. Please refute my points.
>>14434246
I wasn't arguing that rotaries were unreliable, just stating the fact that n/a rotaries are much more durable.
>>14434256
>arguing with a Miatatard who's completely wrong on every single point he makes
lmao, fucking faggot.
>>14434256
you cant argue with rotards
theyre incapable of debate and just throw shit
>>14434262
Yes, now I see you have proved your argument by namecalling. You are the cancer killing /o/
>>14434273
I see, I did not know this before.
>>14434256
Not anon you're responding to but...
A built-up rotary will easily smack down a miata 4-cylinder. It's almost ridiculous how responsive 13B's are to power modifications.
Miatas handle like absolute garbage, make no power, are completley inpractical and make you look like a faggot.
There's no upside to them apart from being cheap.
>>14434285
yeah
I learned that from talking about V8 RX7s
>>14434256
>>4cyl is better than the 13b
Poorfag teenager miatafaggots are THIS fucking delusional
Worst fanbase or worst fanbase?
You bought a shitty meme convertible for the middle-aged dad with a beer belly, your Miata doesn't do anything well and you look like a faggot driving it.
>>14434288
Yeah, in terms of power output the 13b probly would be better. So the best of both worlds would be a 13B Miata obviously.
>>14434299
kek, you gon an dun it now
>>14434299
I hope that image doesn't trigger anyone...
>>14434308
ayy
Id take a rotary Miata over a V8 Miata or RX7 tho
>>14434304
still your just name calling and haven't provided any kind of argument. Your friend here>>14434288 actually responded to the argument, why are you so retarted.
>>14434299
You're getting hate because the vast majority of rotary guys don't like V8 swaps... no duh.
Most of the time it's the other way around, rotards getting shit on with debunked meme's over and over.
>>14434324
>muh faggot feelings
Fuck off tard.
You shit up the whole board with your hairdresser convertible, nobody fucking wants you here.
>>14434338
I don't even own a Miata but I can recognize that it is better than the FC. I guess I will just repeat myself one more time and say that your name calling hasn't proved anything except that your're a faget
>>14434308
Bone stock rotaries are pretty under-powered for what they are capable of. N/A's can push above 200hp with porting, intake/exhaust, and ecu tune. Although after that they become much more finicky to deal with daily.
If you really wanna push power you should be heading down the turbo route anyways.
>>14434354
>I don't even own a Miata
Nice try faggot.
>>14434308
I don't want to come off like a clueless retard but what exactly am i looking at here? engine seems to be a piston but am unsure if v8 or not.
>>14434383
It's a rotary-powered Miata...
>>14434383
Its a single turbo twin rotor engine. Look up 13B engine for more details
>>14433930
Both. Miata first to start out with.
>>14433930
FD because I'm a big boy and have two
Can someone post the "boost in, apex seals out." picture?
>>14433930
Thats a tough question. I got myself a miata to learn to wrench before taking on a larger commitment such as a dorito. Frankly, shitposting aside, depends who youre asking; no one should buy something they cannot adequately maintain. Most people will fuck the dorito for sure
FC

dafuk

Good gawd that's a tiny woman.
