Why not buy a Corvette, and not putting a Corvette engine in a miata. Thats it i am thinking of putting a proper engine in a Corvette, perhaps a Dodge Viper V10 (because the V8 is under powered and under torqued).

Because a Miata weighs 700lbs less than a Corvette. Same power with less weight is always more fun. 👍

This is one of the best MINI's I've seen.
 
The red mx5 needs to be dropped by about.5 of an inch to get a nicer stance looks very high is that a flyin maita one r1600turbo?

No, done by someone down in New Zealand.

Joey: I used to have a friend in Phoenix that special ordered a Mini when they first came out, in just about the same blue color as the one above but with a black roof and mirrors. He had all kinds of stuff done to it, and that thing was pretty mean. The supercharger was really loud. :crazy:

Edit: Here's our shop car.

Link please? I peruse the local MX5 sites occasionally and haven't seen this build at all.

No link. The guy sent those photos to Flyin Miata, where the email was distributed amongst a few employees. I saved those pictures and uploaded them to my Photobucket, then posted them here.
 
I have a couple of sweet pictures I want to post, but I think they're a tad too big. Anyone here know how to re-size pictures?

EDIT: Here they are!

The original pictures were HUGE!


Can I have the big-size picture of that awesome Z? In fact, can I have the link to the album/gallery/whatever it is in which you found these? many thanks (:
 
Too many hairdresser's cars lately

Time for some sister cars :) ....well not really sister cars anymore considering the 6 now has over 100 bhp more with another 150bhp on top of that once its run in.




 
^^^^ Been around for a while... Went 222 MPH at Nardo I believe and has a 5L 1GZ-FE out of a Toyota Century :D Nice ride though.... I like Top Secret cars... always over the top and Mr. Nagata doesnt care where he smokes the tires... 👍

Unfortunately, I don't know who the photographer is or if he has a website. I got these pics from the Aut/o/ section on 4chan.

EDIT: Oh. My. God.

Yeah seriously. Looks like they're still embracing technology though. Look, they've disguised a new aero device as drip edges on top the doors. What they actually do is funnel more air up and over the roof and down to the rear spoiler. Plus, it keeps water off your leather so that's cool.
 
The rears are a little stretched for my liking and the front bumper is not quite right, but I'm liking the colour, the stance and the BBS LM's...
