Tungsten 6ULs with Xidas.
Needs another round of ride height adjustments as things settle in.

^ that is lovely. Understated and classy.
Wonder how the ND looks like on 15" 6ULs. more and more the ND feels like the best replacement for an NA, in ways the intervening models didn't.
There's a Japanese one on IG with 15" RPF1s in the same colour as Satisaii's; looks lovely.
EDIT: Owner's IG, car is on 15" TE37s now

I would love myself a 2.0 ND2 soft-top. Test drove one and it felt so familiar yet so much faster and refined. They are as fast as S2000 stock, which says a lot, and I think you can shed of 50kg or so quite easily. This plus a BBR Super 220 kit would make it a blast.

I actually prefer the ND with 16" rims but I am biased - possibly lighter than 15" rim/tyre combo too.
A 50kg weight reduction is a reasonable goal. Savings readily available when swapping rims/tyres, exhaust, brakes, seat brackets and battery.

Exactly my thoughts ;)
There isn't much in it (to me) between the 16" and 15" look with those arches. I've just got tons of 15" wheels. I'm glad Mazda hit it out the park again. Looks spectacular and Tight.

Took delivery in April. Been too busy to post until now! Wonderful drive and 36 smiles per gallon.
And yes I sold the NA.

I do wonder if anyone's swapped the ND2 engine into an NA yet![]()

That would be a hoot! Horsepower difference is pretty significant, especially after 2019. I believe the first few years 2016-2018
were @ 155 HP. 2019 power went up to 181 HP. Someone has to be working on this.
Phoebie is what my granddaughter named this addition to the fleet. Alexis likes to name all
