just a little clarification here.
the miata motor and protege lx motor are pretty much identical. Both only have forged cranks. Miata's have like .2 higher compression also, the miata has a curb weight of roughly 2100 lbs. the protege is maybe two hundred pounds more with all options. |
wow

Wow. I'm amazed it's only 250# more for a Protege. That's only one me!
I dont know what the average miata weighs with gas and all but when I had my turbo escort (Same chassies as protege) it weighed in just under 2350 with mostly full gas tank, turbo and sound system installed. made 198whp (screwed up turbo compressor) and was much fun. |

I had little issues with it in all it's 148K miles of abuse. If it hadn't been for all other people running into it, it would have been even nicer. That tire wear really stunk and was really the only sore point. The paint really held up after all the years, and it was parked outside 99.3% of its life. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1361480034 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1361480034 plus i pulled a 15.7 in the 1/4 mile with this thing BRO and learned how to autox in it, where I was consitently faster than most others in my class. I'll never buy a nissan ever again in my life I suspect, but I really got the $16,000 I paid for it, out of it, back in Aug of 2000. |
