The Sports Car Thread

[dduelin]

I don't have a sports car. This is my son’s project. What is it? The color is way off on my computer. It's supposed to be bright red.

Honda Beat or other Kei JDM import? Honda S660?

The car is not a Honda product.

MR2?

MR2?

Correct! 1991 MR2.

I don't know all the Honda lingo and hope I get all this right. 2.4 VTEC JDM engine. I believe he said the one with it on both cams and variable cam timing. 6 speed transmission.

It's a real nice rust free car with nice original interior. Somewhere along the lines it ended up with the wrong Toyota engine and was a real cluster under the hood.

He has already reworked the suspension with all performance stuff. Plans to super charge it eventually. He plans to paint the whole car the color he painted the engine bay which I believe is a Honda color but can't remember the name.

Since the picture was taken it has started but only run for a very short time as no cooling had been hooked up at the time.

Decided to leave the motorcycles at home today and take the little blue car to the mountains. First time I have had it up in the hills since I brought her home 5 months ago. Drove up to Echo Lake to play in the twisties and back home. 120 miles round trip. Of course had to take some pictures.

My current roadster. 2009 Mercedes Benz SL63 AMG. It reminds me of 60’s hot rods; it’s angry until warmed up and way faster than it needs to be.
My two weaknesses in life are motorcycles and roadsters.

Sold my '22 MX-5 recently for 32,000. Hopefully about to conclude a deal to sell my '20 Transit 350 passenger van. Have a new Odyssey waiting at the dealer. My life - one wife for fifty years, but many wheels!

Beautiful and definitely a gentlemen's express!

"I’ve got a new set of struts for your NA that you can have for the price of shipping. I also have the add on rear factory body brace as well as the original factory radio/CD player setup. I owned a ‘90 for years. Loved that car."

I will take you up on the offer if the NA Miata parts are still available. I can take care of the packing and shipping.

Sorry the guy that I sold the car to got everything from me. I haven’t been on this forum in some time; sorry I missed your post.

A fun car needs to be way faster than it needs to be.

Fortunately, I have little desire for a sports car, because at 6'5" they're not really an option for me. Not when I can pull a muscle sleeping.

Getting old sucks. I once played three hockey games back to back and felt great the next day. Yesterday, I got a calf cramp because I didn't get my shoe on fast enough.
