    Karuizawa Roadster Meeting 2017

    MIATA...incredibly fun to drive - as that is its only purpose for being.

    Great pics! Thanks for sharing! I love seeing all the wonderful colors and modifications. But one car I was really struck by was this very stock looking and very clean NA6. This is the quality I am striving for but I don't know that I will ever achieve it. The owner must be a fanatic!

    Does anyone know how to DIY achieve the flat black surface finish on the instrument panel hood shown here? My leather cover is starting to come undone and I'm thinking rather than repair it, I might just remove it and go for this smooth, almost rubberized flat black finish.

    Eva ME22 if I'm not mistaken. Here's another photo:

    Scratch that. Looking a little closer, the EVA ME22 kit is quite different. Further research brought up Carservice Shinkai - http://carservice-shinkai.com/ - a site which is no longer in service.

    Esqueleto seems to have the Shinkai kit on their site as well, but just on display.
    http://www.esqueleto.jp/shinkai_sama.html

    Best I could do.

    Thank you for the research! I kinda like this conversion. But I guess it will be even harder to get one of these to Holland than a pitcrew. What are those cards you used?

    Oh, no. Just photos that I've found on the internet from the past few years. The first photo is from a page in a magazine, but I've never figured out which magazine.
