This next custom build is absurdly compelling: Miata chassis, MGB GT coupe shell, K24A2 swap, manual gearbox, wide wheels, flares, and enough unfinished fabrication to scare away normal people instantly. The body-swap concept makes sense in a deranged way. You get the classic MGB GT roofline and hatchback proportions, but underneath is a Miata platform […]
The next car started life was a 1994 Mazda Miata, but the normal front-engine roadster layout has been thrown out in favor of a mid-mounted 2004 Yamaha RX-1 snowmobile engine. With a 1000cc Yamaha 4-cylinder motorcycle engine mounted in the passenger seat, this thing brings more chaos to your daily drive than a van full […]
This is the M1 Stang, a lovingly assembled tribute to the 1965 Mustang Vert that somehow manages to look like a 3/4 scale classic pony car with the performance ambition of a riding lawnmower. You get all the swagger of a “hurts my eyes to look at it” vintage Mustang, plus the thrilling performance of […]
Meet the Miata that finally snapped after all of those hairdresser jokes. This MX-5 has been stripped of every ounce of civility, stuffed with a turbo LS V8, and rebuilt into a four-wheeled panic attack. With a BMW gearbox, Cadillac diff, and a wing large enough to shade small nations, it’s the mechanical embodiment of […]
If you missed your shot at a clean NA or NB Miata back when they were half this price, don’t make the same mistake again. This next Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition in Sunlight Silver (or is that Titanium?) has just 53k miles on the clock, a freshly rebuilt shift linkage, and tasteful 50-state legal […]
Some builds are labors of love. Others are assembled with sheet metal screws, coat hangers, and dreams. This next custom “Miata” is the latter—a truly one-of-a-kind mutant roadster sporting a ’52 Chevy pickup hood, ’32 Ford front fenders, what might be ’36 Chrysler rears, and a Ford Taurus wagon trunk lid, all precariously united over […]
By 1993, the Miata had already cemented its reputation as the spiritual successor to the classic British roadster—reliable, light, and endlessly fun. To celebrate its early success, Mazda released the Limited Edition: just 1,500 cars in Brilliant Black with red leather, BBS wheels, and every option available. This example shows only 49k miles, has a […]
Mazda has built over a million examples of their infamous MX-5 Miata, making it the best-selling two-seat convertible in the history of the horseless carriage. The simple formula for success was to keep the Miata simple, but not every owner agrees. Some owners feel the MX-5 needs a turbocharger, a 3-inch lift, and ginormous tires. […]
The first generation Mazda MX-5 Miata was known as the NA-generation Miata and was sold from 1989 through 1997. If featured, a lightweight unitary steel body-shell with an alloy hood and a form-follows-function attitude. Today’s Miata is in very good shape considering the age, but the price isn’t insane. Find this 1992 Mazda MX-5 Miata […]
Geeks around the world celebrate May 4th (and its groan-inducing pun – may the forth be with you!) as Star Wars Day with a commemoration of all things that were greatly associated with the original trilogy (Ep 4,5,6). We will not speak about the intolerable abomination that was Ep 1,2,3, or the nostalgia-tinged yet vomit-inducing […]
