    My favorite car at the event had to be the Joyfast NC MX5

    The last time I saw this Miata it was running the first gen NC front. Isaji-san decided to give the car a facelift.



    This thing oozes sickness with that odula front bumper and Vary hood and sides.



    The extra pricey (but very functional) Voltex wing and modded NA Roadster tail lights complete the look.



    If you look at the GREEN "205" sticker on the front quarter panel it reads 205/50/16. This MX5 actually competes in the 205 Cup. A specialty cup race for Roadsters where only the 205 size tire is allowed. There is also a 185 cup. When I asked Isaji-san how it handles with the skinny tires, he replied; "It will teach you how to become a better driver since you must know how to get all of the grip out of the tire size. And helps you learn the appropriate racing lines to take when on the track!"



    Here are some shots from the side as well.........

    Here is a NB Mazda MX5 Roadster Coupe , customized by Barchetta, and made to look like an Aston Martin.

    I would have got better pics but the cars were packed in tight and the crowd was crazy!!

    Garage Hundred One brought out two M2 1006s replicas. M2-Corp made only one of these as a concept that was powered the V6 out of a 929, this was M2-Corp's modern day Cobra.



    Check out the M2-1028 Hardtop installed.



    they also had on display their exhaust systems with various midpipes

    These two cars are from Vary, or at least the bodywork is. Link
