For reference, that green miata is 15x8 ET0 on racing beat lowering springs IIRC.

Stock body miata is best, imho, maybe some minor bit here and there or wide fenders if you want to get really crazy.

Miata is on my list of cars to eventually own but right now I want to focus on tracking my 8 as it sits, anyone else down?

Just remember, if you're building a show car you've got to be very outlandish with it to be noticed, if that's up your alley, good luck!

I still say just mod the 8

ya that is why i like the autokonexion kit cause it seems more simple and its less bulky....also I really like that fastback top. The biggest plus is that overall it will be cheaper...and its local so no shipping
