Mazda MX5 ND x Fiat 124 Spider x Abarth 124
GranTurismoEra replied to GranTurismoEra's topic in Other Cars
I did see a solid black. One of these cars will be my next car for sure once Im done with the Z. Im 6'2 so they,ll be a tight squeeze. That guy in the first video was driving the hell out of the MX-5. Heel - Toe and all. Its definitely no slouch. -
Mazda MX5 ND x Fiat 124 Spider x Abarth 124

It makes sense coming from 276-344hp. Some people have added wider lightweight wheels and an exhaust and tuned to 205-230. I think 200 is the safe zone. Anymore than that probably needs engine work. 205-230 hp is around 5-5.5 seconds so in line with the Z without the Torque. The cars lighter by 500kg plus so it probably feels much nimbler -
Mazda MX5 ND x Fiat 124 Spider x Abarth 124

Colour coded bonnet is more likely the Abarth version with 32 extra horses. I suppose the colour code is to differentiate them from the standard car. I saw a review on Autotrader claiming the Renault Zoe was quicker off the mark but I digress I think you get an LSD, Sportier suspension, Sports Exhaust, bodykit and some more extras. The MX5 is still faster apparently lol. The standard 124 if you want all the extras then its the Lusso Plus. The Fiat offers something different being Turbo and a bit more road presence. The MX5 sounds and goes better. You can get the Abarth and just wrap the bits to match the colour. -
People have mentioned the back, but many cars have a flat back like the R8, Jaguar, Ferrari, Aston. Not all as rectangular. It was probably a choice between the red car (C-HR), the render with the modern 240 lights or this. 300ZX lights are a nice move away from boomerang lights which many didnt like. People wanted a modern 240z and here it is . This car will still break necks no doubt just like the 370 Nismo does. Production ready model in Grey maybe.

I think a different experience altogether is needed sometimes. Have you thought about tuning it for a bit more performance? On average I found the MX5 pricier but the Fiat is a head turner. Really like the long bonnet and classic shape. Maybe it could do with a slightly wider body but overall I think its a good package. ZEDs will always be there as people give them up frequently possibly due to high running cost and practicality -

The Greys look much better and black as well. All pearl im sure. White looks ok not as striking as the 370 nismo. So darker or blue would work better Id be heading over to tint shop to wrap that Katana blade to colour match. I think it would only suit a black or silver car.

Been a fan of these cars for a while. While the MX5 is the quickest its a tight squeeze for people 6 feet and over thats where the 124 benefits. Both cars can be tuned to 205 hp. The highest ive seen was an Abarth tuned to 230hp. Been watching some POV videos and didnt realise the MX5 goes like a rocket at 900kg. Obviously there's no touching the MX5 in performance. The Fiat seems to have more space and comes with the 1.4 Turbo where the MX-5 is 2.0 NA. I know the Fiat has 3 trims and Mazda 5 with the anniversary edition and RF. The MX5 is the benchmark so if I got the Fiat id need to get around 180-200. Nothing wrong with stock for the first year or so. I like the classic look of the 124. Definitely have to test drive both at some point. Both good daily cars if I had to get rid of the CRZ. Wouldn't say no to either if my numbers came through. They both sound good for 4 pot. Any owners on here? Would like to know more.

To be honest these pics are reaching lol. They're probably trying to update the current VR30. Being 4 years old now. Hence no figures yet.

Ozark and the lady with the loud paint McLaren. Ha...That bit got me. Like the location what a life I already dreamed up a GTR and Rogue V6s at the front blocking the entrance. A speedboat with twin v12 at the rear behind the garden for a quick getaway when the feds are on the case -

£75 + VAT for drinking coffee. My exhaust us loud so can barely hear it

what if i convert to 600hp Electric? Can I present my car and grab a certificate?

This car will come in trims for the American market. Base trim probably wont have Electric seats. Ive seen they usually have Base, Tech, Sport, GT etc. So different wheels, seats leather with colour coded stitching. I think quad exhaust may come on the Nismo. Sport exhaust may be an option. Hoping for a price by April, May.

Hows your Japanese? Close look! Exterior 2:00 Interior including dash and controls from 10:05 Lights 16:00

Digital radio existed on the Micra years ago. All needs retrofitting. The new one will have all that im sure. Will be years before I can afford the Zed P though. Will keep this for 3 more years I think. Then look into importing a Z P maybe. By then will hopefully be around 30k and under because no one in Japan wants it . Good old cousin Juke. Drove a Turbo one. A to B really. The new ones interior is much better.

The orange I dont mind at all gives it a classic look. Its removable with some careful diy within the casing. Infotainment can always put a retrofit pad there. I never saw the need as it does what I need tbh. The orange is there as the car was primarily made for the American market.

Its the upcoming model Y that will be smaller. Might as well.
