  1. Still waiting on the cheaper models for business use, we've thought about buying one for the company to use on a calendar basis but by the time the car would've paid for itself wasn't worth it. The increase in range is great tho! And I'm still incredibly impressed with how fast it can go from 0-60 even everytime I encounter one at the stop lights, there's no use in trying to keep up with it.
  2. For the 'normal' drivers you definitely don't need anything above 700bhp unless you are tracking the car weekly. Every Porsche I've driven so far didn't even have anything above 400bhp which felt like more than enough for me. Power to weight ratio is definitely the better option in my eyes, let's see them use more weight efficient materials on their 'slower' models.
  3. Already checked that, thermostat seems to be working just fine. I've dropped it in a cup with hot water and it opens up just fine. Please keep in mind that I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to working on cars, that's sort of why I choose a Miata because there's more than enough material online to read and try to work things out yourself before bringing it to a garage. It's the first car that I am actually working on.
  4. That sounds like a fairly good number! Of course it isn't cheap but nothing too expensive either, a car that old (and cool) driving for 3500 is a good deal. I also like the preservation part, too many people out there restoring old cars and not actually driving them for their pleasure. I'm located in the Netherlands, any import car is overpriced and we don't have that many European old timers that I think are worth restoring to driving condition. For example if I'd want to buy a Mustang shell that needs an incredible amount of work I'd easily pay between 10.000 - 15.000, quite a chunk of money for a non driving car.
  5. What an awesome vehicle, seeing old cars like this always saddens me because in my country they are simply to expensive to buy even if they are rusty all the way through. Do you perhaps have an estimate on what you have spended so far and plan on spending in total? Always curious to see how much difference there is, especially since you are doing so much yourself which I admire.
  6. The new Genesis is looking exceptionally great in that white color! Although I would change the rims for something more open giving it a bit of a more agressive look, it's not the weakest of cars. How do you think the car would hold up as a daily driver? You've said that there is almost no road or wind noise, what about the engine or the default exhaust? I really like my cars to have at least some 'roar' to them, especially if they have an engine like this one.
  7. Recently experiencing overheating problems, my fan seems to be turning on just fine, radiator is filled an working and so is the waterpump yet it still overheats? If anyone could help me with a solution or direction to look for my issue I'd be eternally grateful. For extra information: The car doesn't overheat while idling, only on the highway after driving for about 30 minutes. I'm almost sure there's something electrical going completely haywire.
