8 Month Review



Looking back at the past 8 months... I was thinking about how much I like and don't like the ND.

The likes and dislikes are all related to the same parts of the car.

Suspension & Interior.

Engine is pretty much ok as Ive learned to give up my thirst for revs in favor of the usable torque curve.

The ND was always a compromise. Seeing as Mazda don't make an RX-7 anymore, and I loved the NC.

Out of the two RWD small cars in the New market. 86 and ND, I definitely made the right choice for me in the ND. The open top is a feature that I really really love. But vs other older cars that I love, I still can't fall in love with the looks because .....  images and my chops of low +wheels solve that puzzle.
But can I do it?.



Suspension is a Double Edge Sword.

1. The suspension is so good over tight rough terrain, I don't want to change it for mountain runs.
But the ride height is just ugly. I want to change it for the daily commute and some track adventures.

Can I live with low and slippery. Yes, but am I screwing with the best streetable machine out there? Probably.

2. Interior. the drivers seat is damn uncomfortable for my shape. I need to be shorter.
Where I want to sit is not where the ND puts me.
I need a new low seat and a deep dish steering wheel.  Lowmax + Nardi FTW.

So +5K would get me where I need to be. Should I?
