Sorry if this is a repost (didn't see any threads about it in a quick search though); I figured you guys would like to check out a crazy modified NA Miata with a turbo RX mill of some sort, purported to be a Renesis.
Do you guys deal with AutoKonexion too, or are they just Miata people? Anyway, here are some more sweet pictures. I guess SEMA is good for something after all!
sweet, i know you like it. my friend drops kicks me in the face. it hurt at the time, but a really awesome scene. ill email my Game Master at our Dungeon and Dragons club.
I'm not the biggest fan of miata's styling (not aggressive enough), but that this looks awesome!
Even Better!!!

If you do much of the work yourself and live without a few luxuries, total cost to build one into a little Japanese Cobra could be well under $10,000 (including the car with hardtop).
I know it's incredibly petty and entirely not the point of this car, but the interior looks like shit.
I like everything else about it.

that car was at a JRX rotary for the last couple of monthes, for some reason i thought it was a 13b swap. Shop owner told me its prepped for time attack
i met the owner of the car mike also, really cool guy, and he owns a shop that makes bodykits, the wide body and hardtop are of his own design. He also asked me if there are any interest in wider fenders for the rx8

Thats a wicked little Miata, it looks great with that top, defenitely makes it look like another car.

I wish there was a picture taken directly from the side, want to see exactly how the roofline looks.
Here is a cost saving way for the next RX. Keep the miata the same (little more agressive look) and make the next RX a miata coupe. Save money on body panels, lights, windows, suspension components, etc., it would keep the RX light, and they would still appeal to different people (coupe/rotary and convert).

yeah but that makes too much sense. They would much rather keep making the miata with a booooooring ass 4 banger that doesn't even rev high or anything special to maintain the miata's famous gutless prestige. They will then proceed to spend a lot of money developing a new car that weighs a lot more for the 16x, and probly will have a stupid flappy paddle transmission.

HAHAHA, have I ever got a couple Miata build threads to show you, sir.
Sorry, I know they're long, but these guys are pushing out huge amounts of power from the stock Miata engines (all you need is a crazy turbo kit, right?). The first link also includes a heroic engine swap... done a grand total of 11 hours before he took it to a track day at Infineon to break it in.
Besides, the cars weigh nothing; my 1999 NB is 2299 lbs, and the NAs were significantly lighter than that. Strip it down a little and you're easily below 2000. :D Power to weight what?
