[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) Agreed. I like my cars small. If I ever become a gazillionaire, I will drive a Nash Metro converted into an EV. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (2 children) I will drive a first gen miata. Maybe EV converted or LS swapped. I love the little pop up and down headlights 🥺 they make me happy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 8bitguy@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago* (1 child) They look cool, but they're annoying when they get stuck. I had a couple cars with them through the years. Sadly, never a first gen Miata. I like them too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] coco@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Ls engine is overkill !!! You ll spin tooo much and adding extra weight to thefront will fok up the almost perfect weight distributiom Even with a turbo. 350 hp is exagerated To each their cup of tea !! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago That's fair, there are reasons why its a "maybe". I'm not too worried about spinning though, its not a super uncommon swap for miatas so folks have given it a go before, and drifting seems like a blast. Currently drive a civic so I've not had the opportunity to try it permalink fedilink source parent
