Hence the interchangability of the early girling brake calipers used on toyota coronas and Hilux pickup trucks with the 16P and later PB (Metric mounting bolt shank bores) used on the TR250 and 6s? I

When the Miata first came out, everyone was calling it the new MGB. Other than similar size, and two seat convertable, I saw no resemblence especially in the drive train. I don't think I can see any

I'd have to agree except that I read that they studied the sound of the TR6 exhaust and tried to replicate that. --Original Message-- From: fot-bounces+rkramer=rdoequipment.com@autox.team.net [mailto

I think LOTUS too. I think I may have told this story before, but when the MIATAs first came out and became popular, a local club came to 'do touring laps' at a VSCDA ROAD AMERICA event. In a condesc

Yes I remember reading that they tried 40+ exhaust systems, trying to find one that sounded like a "sports car", whatever that may sound like...? Glen I'd have to agree except that I read that they s

The original Miata was most certainly inspired by the original Lotus Elan. The project leader for the Miata was a guy named Bob Hall, who I knew back in my misspent youth when my friends and I used t

Bob, one of my customer's was one of the 3 original Miata design team members. Being a Brit car guy, that is the sound he wanted on the exhaust note. After a bunch of study, they settled on an MGA. T

They missed the mark on sound. Only the fully prepped F or E Prod cars sound good. The rest just kind of buzzes if you know what I mean. **Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-effic

Granted. But do the math. $15,500 + $3,100 per point to hold a Superlicense is beyond excessive even given the unreal money in F1. The cost for the license should have some basis in reality. Hamilton
