Most may not like this car..but im IN LOVE. New kit out for the NA miata. This is the first car with it, and was at SEMA. Needless to say, Im going to be running the same wheels. My car is even red. After I get my motor boosted and running correctly, im buying this kit :) (i like it all besides the hood..which isnt a part of the kit."

In my eyes, that actually makes a Miata much more than just tolerable.

that is badass, looks like an s2k with the spoon roof

motorvated
11-26-2008, 06:44 PM
The roof is a custom add on. Gets added onto the factory hard top. Not a whole lot of info on these kits, besides that they are $1200. The roof extension is another $800 I believe. so for what you see, its around $2K plus install and paint. There have been a few people order this already, and some have talked about molding the rears instead of riveting them on. I kind of like the rivets.

I do like how that looks, not a fan of that gaudy hood though.

I like it but needs a better flowing hood. I think molding the rear fenders would be sweet to.

motorvated
11-26-2008, 06:52 PM
ya the hood has to go. ITs a carbon fiber vented hood. Kind of pointless IMHO. The stock hood on the NA is plenty light, since its aluminum. But other then the hood... TWO THUMBS UP

No go for me

but there's no doubt in my mind that the guy that drives that miata is 100% not gay.

making your miata look sick would be a very easy way to lose the stereotype

motorvated
11-26-2008, 06:57 PM
yea. the stereotype doesnt bother me much, because I know what the car can do on a track. I just love how it transforms the car. Other companys have tried to do it..but this one does it the best. I'll post some of the other track type setups

what do u guys think...the first one, or just the flares like the last one. Im not to into the 2nd one

personally i like the way the rear looks on the first one

The Hardtop kit is by far the best kit out for the Miata....

Hardtop > Vert

motorvated
11-26-2008, 07:50 PM
you can still take your hardtop off, even with the extension kit. Just a pain in the ass. I do love my hardtop though!!

So..how awful is it to run the first kit, with a pretty much stock motor lol. Is that "rice"?

i'd call rice.. unless you throw in a bolt on roll bar and autocross the bitch...

man, i love first gen miatas... if i didn't have the truck i'd have a boosted first gen autocross car...

i dont get how cleanneon doesn't like things that make the miata look better?

that first kit is sooo sick.

motorvated
11-26-2008, 08:18 PM
Well my plan for this car..is to lock the rear and get seriously into AUTOX and drifting.
Im debating on boosting it, or getting the first kit i posted. I already have coilovers, full exhaust and an intake on the way. I dont know..im torn on what to do. I want it all!!

CleanNeon98
11-26-2008, 08:20 PM
Id just get a nice lip kit all around, and some small flares if you really want to run a wider wheel, and leave them riveted. The stuff you posted just looks excessive, almost ricey IMO

I hate kitted cars, but I love every Miata that's been posted. That first red one looks phenominal.

CN: I really, really like those. Caged drop-tops are FTW.

the roof is pretty sick it just looks too much like a fd rx-7 for me, id feel like a poser, plus you still have those huge flip up headlights

Flip up headlights are awesome...but i'll be doing Low Profile ones. They only raise up about half as much as they currently do

Silverfc88
11-26-2008, 09:09 PM
I like the kit, but not the top extension. I think it would look better with just the regular hard top. Maybe a hood with the RE Amemiya style vents on it. Might look bad ass.

motorvated
11-26-2008, 09:10 PM
ya ide be interested to see how that would look!

CleanNeon98
11-26-2008, 09:10 PM
My suggestion

Small OEM-type spoiler, Racing Beat lip kit (or body kit if you really want), Raise up the car a tad, 15" wheels (like the ones you showed me yesterday), take the rear panel and debadge and black it, turn signal vents in flat black, and other little stuff...I don't have the patience to look through the Moss Miata catalog and flip through the hundreds of ricey ass parts they stock for Miatas so just post **** here. www.miata.net and go to the marketplace, look through the different sites on there and see if anything catches your fancy

or not, since my 2 cents dont seem to mean anything...do whatever you want.

motorvated

I never even look at Moss Motors..We have a differant style. You like the very clean, simple mods...and im not into that. Thanks for your input though.

If you go kitted.... the first one is the best. Not too sure on the roof.... but the hood needs to go. The rest of the body looks damned amazing.

11-26-2008, 09:43 PM
haha WOW im surprised so many people like it. Ide keep my stock hood, and probably stock hard top. My hardtop is in mint condition, and worth a good amount of $$. I dont wanna F with it.

My car is 19 years old now. No rust, and some small nickle size dings. I was going to sand the whole car down, and fix all the little dings. Fit the kit myself, and my buddy will paint the whole car. He runs a paint shop. Probably test fit the whole kit to make sure it fits PERFECTLY, then pull it off. Paint the whole car and the whole kit, and then reinstall the kit. These are just "plans" but im going to do my best to make it happen. Its all about the Benjamins

11-26-2008, 09:45 PM
honestly i like the whole thing - the hood, i love how the back windows looks riveted on, that's pretty cool to me

11-26-2008, 09:48 PM
Maybe turn the top black. Get a two tone thing going?

Cutlass372
11-28-2008, 04:13 PM
I think that first kit looks the best out of any posted. Just ditch the hood and keep the stock hard top. The one they are using just doesn't seem to flow as well as the stock one. Idk why people knock on these cars as being "the gay mans car" or whatever.. They handle like crazy and not saying you have to like all cars, but atleast give credit where it's do.. stereotypes are lame.. If its what you like then rock whatever car you want.

yea the fastback is similar to the S2K kit. Needless to say, I think I have my plans laid out. I'll keep posting progress..

11-28-2008, 11:20 PM
the kit looks very nice... im not sure on the top or not.... i would probly try to pull the kit off with a regular hardtop... but that one looks good too, just might be a lil overkill. looks like theyre trying to give it a 240sx type hatchback haha

looks sick though! i would rock it. your gonna need some wide ass wheels or just a major absence of offset

motorvated
11-28-2008, 11:27 PM
The wheels you see there are 15X8 o offsets..i'll be running the same.

Im going to keep my OEM hardtop, along with OEM hood. Just using the bumper,fenders,sideskirts and rear flares. Respraying the whole car red, along with the kit. Wonder how this will hold up on a DD...hmm

frosti108
11-28-2008, 11:37 PM
hmm. well i hope youll have something in the engine bay to back up all the crazy looks... remember the idea is to make power 1st. then to have bigger wheels to hold the power, THEN to get fender flares to fit the wheels. cause and effect... ;)

Holy blind spot batman!

edit: I talked to him last night and he says the kit is actually functional for downforce and such so I take back some of what I said...still think it looks gaudy but if it helps the car perform better on the track then it's not so bad.
