You mentioned Bilstein Struts at the 7:50 mark and it's important to note this car does not have "struts". Front suspension is different than your BRZ with upper and lower A-arms with separate shocks. Main benefit is that it allows for full camber and caster adjustment. Rear suspension is multi-link like the BRZ.
@Disco_Potato10 жыл бұрын
??? What? Have you actually looked at the suspension? Springs on shocks front and back.
@jjuhring110 жыл бұрын
eSZee Granted, the spring perch is attached to the shock body, which could be interpreted as a 'strut'... but when talking automotive front suspensions the term "strut" is usually used synonymously with MacPherson Struts... where the strut takes the place of an upper control arm. I wanted to be clear that the MX-5 and BRZ have very different front suspensions. In the last comparison test in Motor Trend (2013 MX-5 vs FRS) they list the front suspensions as MX-5: Control arms, coils springs, anti-roll bar. FRS: Struts, coil springs, anti-roll bar. It’s so rare any more that a car comes with a fully adjustable (camber, caster, toe) front suspension that it seemed worthwhile to point it out.

If you do only 1 mod to this car, please change out the (pressurized) expansion tank. The NC was the only vintage to do that having it under pressure. When (not if) it fails you can overheat quick and possible trash the motor when that plastic tank cracks. I kid you not. SO worth the easy changeout from the OEM plastic to aluminum.

Hey subaruwrxfan, I've been dreaming of getting an FRS... ever since I got done paying of my new civic (I wasn't really into cars at the time when I bought the civic). My next option is to get a used NC or FRS as a second car. Used higher mileage NCs go for $7-8k or so while the FRS is still $15-18k. The FRS is about twice as much, which has me leaning towards getting an NC. Am I missing much by opting for the miata over the FRS? It would be my first stick shift car, plus maybe some autocross/track days eventually (which is why I originally wanted the FRS).
@ShuffleToExpresss8 жыл бұрын
are you going to pay monthly? If you weren't going to I'd say just get an s2k and call it a day. If you are paying monthly I might just opt for the FRS, why? The NC is the least liked generation of the miata and least sporty. Sure its got the most horsepower but it's also the heaviest, The NB I drove was way more fun than the NC I drove especially in corner. the ND is the absolute best miata right now, that thing IS faster than an FRS and feels faster than an FRS. I'd say even an NA miata would be good fun, and it's cheaper. FRS handles much better than an NC.

the only reason people say it's not sporty is because the 06-09 model got very soft suspensions out of the factory. About the FRS beeing so much sportier, that's arguable at least As advising a S2000, even if I don't know the american market, that's about one of the worst advice one could give considereing the hype around that thing. It's expensive, heavier and only fractionally faster on the real roads I heartly agree with David, the NC is the MX5 to buy right now !
