Tokyo Auto Salon 2016 Coverage by REV9 Autosport

Hi everyone,

I've been visiting the TAS2016 (Tokyo Auto Salon) this week-end and thought some of you might enjoy the diversity of new parts that just came on the market for the ND Roadster!

http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/...psqfhziiuf.jpg

Many parts come from existing and popular brands while some other come from brands that just jumped into the ND market! It's going to be an existing year. It seems like I'll have to add a bunch of products to the website and I'm really not sure where to begin... we'll see how it goes!

If you followed our Facebook page, you probably had a good preview of what's to come :D

I'll post on this thread every now and then. There's a lot of pictures to process and the ones shown on Facebook are just a tiny part of what I'll show :thumbs:

Enjoy!

First Stop : Garage Vary

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte...6/01/blog1.jpg

Garage Vary did a comeback at Tokyo Auto Salon for 2016 and really hasn’t got unnoticed. Many said it was the best ND MX-5 shown in the whole show.

Not really a fan of the rear or the fenders, but that front end! GORGEOUS! The lip and the hood look sweet!

Second Stop : DAMD

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte...6/01/damd2.jpg

DAMD has been always active in the Mazda and Miata scene, but they had been somewhat low profile in the last years. Only connoisseurs know about this brand who has released quite a lot of very nice and top quality aftermarket parts for decades. Now, they are back with a super nice ND MX-5 Shop Car!

Click here for more details & pictures.

Not that it matters much...but that low rear spoiler/wing would make putting stuff in and taking stuff out of the trunk a pain. But yeah...still want an ND.

Max, what is the price on those Recaro Seats in the Garage Vary ND?

Recaro RS-G Super Stark (very limited edition) ... around $1400 + shipping from Japan.

Third Stop : KUHL Racing

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte.../01/blog12.jpg

KUHL Racing may sound new to many Roadster enthusiasts, but the company has been around for a while. They won Tokyo Auto Salon 2014’s best car of the show with their awesome hand-painted/engraved Nissan R35 GT-R. Now, they came back with a pretty aggressive Miata body kit! I have to apologise for the dark pictures, but the car was under a big neon spot, there was a huge crowd and taking good pictures was next to impossible.

Fourth Stop : Cabana

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte...6/02/blog2.jpg

Cabana is a very new brand in the tuning scene. They have not been left unnoticed with their British Racing Green ND MX-5. They actually are a company that makes boxers. That makes them very good at sewing products and that is why they have released many leather interior parts for the ND Roadster.

Click here for more details & pictures.

Really love what they did with the green one.

I don't like the chrome everywhere on it, but the color is great!

Fifth Stop : Okuyama Carbing

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte.../02/blog16.jpg

Carbing has been developing products for the Miata since it was released in Japan. They pride themselves as selling some of the most rigid chassis stiffening products on the market that are used by many very competitive Japanese tuners.

Sixth Stop : Leg Sport

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte.../2016/03/1.jpg

Leg Sport is a shop located near Hiroshima in Japan, they have always been closely working with many Mazda vehicles. They are well known for their RX-7 & RX-8 parts, but also been known lately for their Toyota 86 and Mazda Roadsters. Many pictures of their demo car have been floating on the internet, but they changed the exterior color for Tokyo Auto Salon for a beautiful Mariner Blue wrap.

Click here for more details & pictures.

Wow, I like the ND in that color. Was it repainted Mariner Blue?

Edit: Saw Max's post that it was wrapped Mariner Blue. I really like the Smurf color on the ND.

Smurf blue really looks nice on the ND I hope Mazda take notice and do a few in that colour.

7th Stop : R-Spec

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte...6/03/blog1.jpg

R-Spec is very popular in Japan for their TV conversion kits in which you can watch TV while driving (safe, huh!). They decided to build a demo ND MX-5 for the Tokyo Auto Salon and test prototype of new products they could bring on the market.

11th Stop : Esqueleto

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte...2016/03/72.jpg

Esqueleto is top choice for Roadster enthusiasts when it comes to custom racing seats. They have proven their reputation by building awesome quality seats that can be 100% customized and many Japanese tuners will only run their seats as the build quality is next to perfect.

Last Stop : The Wheels!

http://rev9autosport.com/wp/wp-conte...2016/04/71.jpg

Here’s our final and last post about Tokyo Auto Salon 2016. This one is dedicated on the new model of wheels that would most likely fit NA, NB and/or ND applications (4x100) made by Enkei, 326POWER, Work Wheels, RAYS, Advan, Leon Hardiritt & Aimgain. We skipped the NC as the 5x114.3 wheels are very common and there are TONS of choices. Sorry NC owners, but you can always drop us a line and we’ll send you the nicest racing wheels for your application.
