*double wishbone sound intensifying*

>>17161416
I own an AW and NA and the MR2 is more fun on challenging courses and a little better geared for highway. Or at least feels like it. More revs and tighter cornering is more fun. Miata slides around a lot easier though.

>>17163131

Dude, you're comparing the 1.6 Miata to the W20 turbo? Y?

They made a 1.8 turbo Miata.

>>17163864

How are MR platforms gay?

>>17163885
refer to >>17163813
If 50/50 can be achieved with FR, why bother making the engine so hard to get to?
Why deal with not having room for turbo and other mods?

>>17163904
Ideal distribution is a rear bias
50/50 isn't perfect, it's a meme for easily controllable

>>17163904
>not having room for turbo or mods
Pretty much the I know nothing about mr2's the post
https://forum.autosportlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=1168

>>17163904
the mr2 is in essence a compromised design, they wanted to make rear-drive sports car without building a new chassis or driveline so they popped the transverse engine in the back and made a pretty cool car out of it
with that said the other guy is right in that 50:50 is not actually the perfect weight distribution that is constantly claimed that's really more of a marketing meme than a reality

>>17163813
>he doesn't procharge his AW11

>>17163904
Are you a massive retard? Cooling concerns I can understand, but hard to get to? How is the engine harder to get to in the middle than at the front? Also there have been MR turbos so I'm not really sure where you're going with that one either. The engine bay is as big as they design it.

>>17163946
That engine bay is extremely cramped, I'd rather work on an FR car with tons of room around the sides.
No shit you can make it all fit, but why constrain yourself and make it hard?

>>17163949
>How is the engine harder to get to in the middle than at the front

I've worked on porches and Ferraris, it's 10x more difficult to work on an MR car than FR.

>>17163904

Not to dogpile so much but realize that 50/50 weight is not ideal, 40/60 is, which is where the MR2 sits. Mid rear is ideal because it becomes 50/50 UNDER LOAD aka breaking, when the weight of the car shifts forward and you have balance where it matters, corner entry, and then you have a rear bias for corner exit which is good for grip to the rear wheels.

Miatas are cool, but the MR2 really is special for its midship layout and a much sharper turning car.

AW11 was a blatant ripoff of the Fiat X1/9.

And they managed to make it shittier than the fiat, even after introducing it 10 years later.

Pontiac fiero was the inferior choice over an MR2.
If youre gonna lose your legs in a fiery mid engined car crash you might as well do it in style.
Fieros interior looks like it was borrowed from an astro van.
American car interiors in general of that generation all kind of resemble the inside of an ambulance with the dirty stained beiges and bulky cheap center consoles.

hello brothers

Just to clarify, you want rear bias so that under braking, weight transfer effects included, you're around 50/50.

What do you mean without building a new chassis? The MR2 is on it's own platform, I believe. It definitely was a design most likely compromised by a budget though.

was there an mr1 before the mr2
