    I'm sure it'll still be not nostalgic enough, like the slam/ vintage thread all over again

    The suspension points mirror the NA, as do the mechanical layout and ancillaries. The only major difference is that the MX-5’s trademark PPF (power plant frame) bracing the transmission to the differential as swapped sides due to the exhaust being moved to the other side.

    Mentions the PPF has rotated 180 degrees. Fails to mention multilink rear suspension
