[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]first generation mazda miata. easy to work on. easy to find parts for, easy to find parts to "soup it up" so to speak. and increase it performance. if you are going to buy a project car, at least make it a fun car. the miata with a longitudinal engine, makes for more space in the engine compartment front wheel drive cars pack a lot of stuff into a small space and makes it much harder to work on. [/quote] It seems a Mazda turtle would have a tight engine compartment? And potentially some variety of a computer in it?[/quote] Any car since the mid 80s has computers or a multitude of sensors. No real way around it. The Miata is a longitudinal 4 with allows for a lot a space in the engine compartment to work on. Plus the fron wheels only steer the car. While the rear wheel drive the car. Ona fro t wheel drive. Front wheels pull double duty and thusincreased complexity from a “new mechanic” point of view [/quote]
