miataturbo.net-like debauchery thread (about the ND or something)
All this talk about turning 360 degrees? If you were looking at the car and saw the rear end and turned 360 degrees to walk away, you would walk directly into the car. A 360* "reversal" from the original car would have seen an initial car with key only entry, followed by a car with keyless only entry, and would have come back to a car with a key only entry.
The correct term is "did a complete 180". In this case, "a complete 360" is an exaggeration of the term, which ironically means the exact opposite of the term being exaggerated. I was going to let it go as trolling (it looks like niklas has it figured out) but "I can't stands for this no more!"

I'm very strongly considering it, depending on the drivetrain specs. If it's a 2.0 in the 180-200hp range it's VERY likely I will pick one up.
However, it's determinant on some other stuff.
BRZ is supposed to get a mid-cycle update next year (we know superchargers fit and the rumors of the STi BRZ won't go away).
I'm also waiting on more details from Keith at Flyin' Miata on the new coilovers and roll bar they have developed for the NC. My '06 only has 46k miles on it, so I'm considering suspension/wheels/2.5 swap and keep it.

If the 2016 Focus comes in AWD with a turbo and can net me good MPG's and doesn't cost more than an STI, i'll buy that. (i know totally different car than an ND)
If not. I'm buying one of these.

^Yes! I'm also very interested to see if Audi will bring over the RS3 next year.
4 door hatch, AWD, 2.5L 5 cyl turbo with 350+ hp, 7 spd DCT.
I also like the M235i, just not sure about the whole $45-50k on a car when we are likely going to move next year.

Yeah, the RS is supposed to be AWD and all sorts of fun. As opposed to now where it's FWD and all sorts of fun.
I've said it before, I'll be elated if it makes 180 peak, but I'll be more than happy with 165hp on tap for the ND. Just hope it gets 40mpg all day long. (dd status, whatup)

Sounds like a prime candidate for a piston swap for 9:1 and a twinscroll 7064 or 7163. With 17x275 I think we can count on actually putting that power down too... I'll be interested to see how much overbore you could get away with.

The wheel wells don't look particularly large. Looks smaller than the NC even. Those are 16" wheels right? maybe they've finally realized you don't need 17's on a Miata...

Yep, 195/50/16 or 205/45/17 (205/45/17 being the NC size). So on a 220lb lighter car should be plenty of grip.
