started a new workout ‪OUCH!!! That's got to hurt. #1‬‏ - YouTube

Who needs fancy computers to help park... a guy had it figured out 50 years ago.

I bet some can appreciate this Marlowe on Vimeo

wonder what it thinks it's saying... funny when it gets caught

I stand corrected on the 911... was thinking performance. I obviously chose performance over creature comfort with the 7... don't we all And the Miata... well if I could of found one with a hardtop I would of gotten it. Doubt the softop will coming down anytime soon (as the A/C is on full blast). Remember that movie "Quigly Down Under" Selleck said he didn't like pistols, preferred a rifle... he never said he wasn't good with a pistol. I prefer a hardtop;)

Larry gets schooled... again

I'm not really a soft-top guy so the Cayman would be my first choice... but the Boxsters have been around a while so there's probably more options pricewise. I've heard it's pretty much ego when deciding on a 911 over the Cayman.

I like the ones you have now... though sometimes we just need a change to keep things interesting. Go for it... your the one expressing yourself.

Yeah, Honda did a very good job with the head and there's not much room for improvement there... only real options are supercharger & turbo. And realistically I would expect somewhere between 300 & 350 horsepower... though Kevin is up to 380hp I think. I was first looking at superchargers as it's cleaner & avoids heat issues (still may do it). But the turbo offers more options in how a driver might want the power to come on. My concern with the turbo is room/heat.... and the money to do it;) I think 300hp at the rear wheel will do me just fine. I'm really not into top speed; these cars get a bit sketchy up there.

I'm surprised that I feel like I'm going faster (down the freeway) in the Miata than the 7. I thought the lowness, openess, firmness, etc... would make the 7 feel faster at freeway speeds. It might have more to do with the 6 speed (vs 5 speed), 3.9 rear end and 17inch wheels in my 7. The good thing is my commute is highly patrolled by CHP so low 60s is just right (and hopefully good on the gas too).

After rebuilding my Europa, and seeing that I was basically protected by a 1/8 inch of fiberglass, decided to sell it to... soon after I found this place http://www.banks-europa.co.uk/cars_home_new.htm and wished I would of known about it before all the work I did. Might of kept it.

I've raced motorcycles & bicycles.. got the serious competitor bug out of my system a while back (too intense & too much $$$ for me). I've only done a couple track days so far, but for me it's just seeing how fast I can get my car around. Don't really care about the rules, just want to drive fast! As far as auto-x, everyone sees your time anyway... that's all that really matters (as some can be glad your not in their class). Guess if I was really good, it might make a difference... though that gets back to Tedzilla's comments. Just about every type of racing's organization has ticky-tacky rules that don't seem right (for some). It's sadly part of any "race experience" and if you want to win you have to know the rules inside-out. ,

nice beer commercial

You guys with big headlights ought to get a set of these and eliminate your turn signals. They're pretty bright in my 67 truck... bit pricy though (scroll down) might find cheaper elsewhere. http://www.itsasnapwireandcable.com/

I had a piggyback unit (Apexi) for the stock ECU and was able to lower the VTEC... got similar results as yours. We're all in the same ballpark HPwise with a stock honda motor. Using the AEM, the torque is flatter without loss of power. It allows more fiddling, like timing, which the piggyback didn't. Not a big deal with stock motor, but I'm kind of working my way to a turbo.

I didn't notice the use of black & white and selected color until about halfway thru...

Here's my stock 2005 honda 2.2 with long tube header & short cold air intake (told I could get a few more ponies if it was longer)... 216hp & 152lbs of pretty flat torque (no VTEC surge). Funny how you have to resize the picture to trick the site in letting you post it a 2nd time.. unless there's another way.

Wonder if you could put in GM's CARB approved Emotor kit (for hotrods) in it and be California legal?

I like that top... my car is silver with tan interior & new tan top (with glass/defrost). It's pretty clean for the years & 135,000 miles... maybe could use a new carpet (haven't tried cleaning it yet and maybe door panels... seats are in really good shape. Sorry no pics yet. I bought it because of all the good comments on fun, reliability & cheap to maintain... hope that's the case.

Looks like a great setup! Was the Look much cheaper than a Haulmark?

I bought a 99 Miata for a commute car... though it's not an automatic Got so much of a rise out of some the last time gay & miata were in the same sentence, I couldn't resist;) .

Danillo, We try not to get too negative about other 7 type cars on this site (or pretentious about pedigree). When it comes to price... a lot of us go for performance (and dare say looks) over heritage. Probably something Colin would appreciate. The main thing is we all share a passion for these bare bone cars and their basic design. Plus, we're commenting on a year old thread and it would be more interesting to know if Bster13 ever got one of these.

It's pretty good at figuring your character out... http://www.akinator.mobi/us
