No one asked Mazda two decades ago to reinvent the roadster, but we should all bow down and give thanks that it did. The roadster is, of course, the smile vehicle, the toy, the I'm-doing-errands-but-loving-it kind of car, and none has done it as well as Mazda with the $14,069 MX-5 Miata that debuted in 1989. Since then, it's been the go-to car for affordable sports-car thrills.
Now comes a third-gen version that doesn't share a single part with the fantastic original, and that's made us nervous. The original Miata has held up remarkably well—drive one today, and it doesn't behave like a 16-year-old design. It still feels light and nimble—graceful even—and the controls have a delicate, precise feel that's just about unmatched today. So, by fiddling with the original recipe, we wondered, would Mazda screw it up?
That's why we're here, so let's find out.
First off, we should mention the name change. Mazda has dropped "Miata." Officially, the car is simply the MX-5, a move the company says brings the roadster in line with other Mazda models that use alphanumeric nomenclature. We wonder if it's also an attempt to shake off some of the Miata's "chick car" image.
We've always been secure enough in our manhood to ignore that unfortunate rep, but judging by the new body, with bulging fenders and a more aggressive look, we feel the MX-5 has lost some cuteness.
Although it's now reportedly heavily based on the RX-8, the two don't share any parts. They are built in the same factory along with the MPV minivan so Mazda can shift around production to meet changing demand, but the RX-8 is a larger car with heavier, stouter parts that wouldn't suit the MX-5's lightweight mission.

Oscar S2000 Situation
I met a fan who says he daily drives a stick shift car and he begged me for a chance to Drive a Honda S2000 for the first time (AP1 S2K)
I immediately became suspicious when he chirped the wheels and was mis-shifting.
He made a U-Turn without looking, and turned into oncoming traffic.
We hit a motorcyclist, who was taken to the hospital.
Full video coming soon.

After nearly two months of waiting, my Honda S2000 finally has a new Engine and Transmission!
The JDM F20C engine has a higher compression ratio: 11.7:1 vs. USDM 11:1
The higher compression ratio requires 93 octane fuel to truly run properly, but it ran even better on 95 octane Ethanol Free race gas!
The JDM engine can have the computer retard ignition timing on bad fuel, so you need to make sure you have good quality gas in your tank.
The JDM engine is also almost impossible to buy without also buying an AP1 transmission already attached to it.
Overall, the AP2 Transmission's smoother shifting, shorter 1-4 gears, paired with the higher power output of the JDM engine make for a MUCH more lively driving experience. But I should probably get bigger, wider wheels to handle the new increase in tail-happy behavior when pushed to the limits!
My Honda S2000 broke down! I was driving and both the engine and clutch had what seems to be a total failure! What should I do???
The clutch pedal went dead, I barely made it to a parking lot, and I am even leaking oil.
I want to put in a JDM Honda F20C, but is it worth it with the lean issue???
