I haven't heard about this car in quite a while and don't remember seeing a thread here about it, so I wanted to share a bit. The M-Sky was a limited run of 30 1999 RS package roadsters sold by South Tokyo Efini Mazda (Kanto Mazda), who collaborated with aftermarket tuners. The name goes Minami-Tokyo, Saito Shinsuke (motor journalist), K.G. Works and Yours Sports. It featured:

Yours Sports alignment and 25 click adjustable shocks with Tein springs
Larger front sway bar
Reinforced front and rear arm bushings
Aftermarket brake pads
Carbing 3 point front STB
Carbing rear STB
Saito 4 point roll bar

K.G. Works blacked out headlights - http://www.kgworks.co.jp/4-b-34.htm

K.G. Works "suede coated" gauge hood and center panel - http://www.kgworks.co.jp/4-b-37.htm
K.G. Works metal shift ring and short shifter - http://www.kgworks.co.jp/4-b-35.htm
K.G. Works leather door handle wrap - http://www.kgworks.co.jp/4-b-36.htm
Polished metal gauge rings (K.G. works as well I presume)
Original seat(s) and bracket(s) (look like Mazdaspeed sport seat to me, unsure if there was two buckets in the final production)

I don't think the tow hook made it to production, like the wheels, which were left as OEM from what I understand? You might also notice there wasn't any engine mods; this was designed as a circuit use car and power was not a priority in development. I can also tell you there was an M-Sky sticker on the front STB and headlights, not sure where else they were placed, for identification by us aftermarket parts hunters.

Awesome!!!

"Thanks Given" For your write up! :bow:

I've never heard of this version!! Thanks for the great photos too!! There was quite a few (Japan Only) NRA, Track Made, and Limited & Special Edition NB Roadsters in Japan but I am kinda lacking in the ways of NB.

You and I both. Sometimes people ask me questions about NB's and I just have to reply...that's not really my thing. :lol:
