My MR expereince is from the Porshce 914. IME, the MR layout gives you more consistent behavior at the limit, and more forgiving than FR when trying to recover. Even the few times I have actually spun the MR, it was more predictable what it was going to do. I once spun it in the rain on a cloverleaf and recovered the spin after 360 degrees and kept on going! |

Ok, I take it back, I wouldn't mind getting into one of those. :-) Yeah, my MR2 (and my buddy's X1-9) handled GREAT up to a very high threshold, but when they go they GO. There's a little orange 914 parked up on the family farm. It was my uncle's first car right out of college, purchased brand new. I tried SO hard to buy that little car from him when I was about sixteen. He was saving it for his retirement to turn into an electric...

Definitely fear! After 10 years of sw20 ownership, I'm still scared shitless of the car. I drove the nsx, it's way more planted and stable because of it's longer wheelbase when compared to the mr2. If these guys think the nsx is bad for snap oversteer/lift off oversteer, the sw20 made its name from just that!

It would be sacrelige to convert a "good" car if you checked what they are going for now. A "perfect" original 4-cyl will get you upwards of 20k. I kind of like having multiple generations of: 2.0L, 4-cyl, Boxers in the barn... |

1991 Acura NSX Convertible
I kind of feel sorry for this car.
From the article: This 1991 Acura NSX is offered with minimal info apart from a claimed mileage of 40k. We’re not sure we’ve ever seen a convertible conversion NSX before, and though the resulting car looks better than expected, it’s still a bit of a shame in our opinion–well finished or not, even Honda-built T-top cars had a bit more chassis flex than coupes. Find it here on Choiceautocenter in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts for $50k. 20 pictures and full article . |

I actually think it looks kinda cool. I'd rock it.
There's plenty of mint-condition NSXs out there if you really want one. Not cheap, but not unicorns either. I don't have a problem with one going wayward lol

Back in the early 90's, a company called Newport Convertible Engineering was performing those conversions on the NSX. That clamshell looks like one of theirs but it's been years since I've seen one. They also offered a Targa version before the NSX targa was ever available. They were out of California and they offered convertible conversions for lots of different cars that were never offered that way. From Range Rovers to Ferraris to Rolls Royce. Their conversions appeared to be quality builds.
