    Retro themed 97 Montego Blue Roadster

    Hi All,

    I've lurked on the forums here the past few months and I've been inspired to document my own build after seeing some incredible builds on here and on Instagram.

    It’s been just over 5 years of ownership although it’s only in the past year that I’ve really dug into modifying my mx5 or miata as you lot like to call it (I’m from Australia by the way)! Aim is to finish off the exterior this year so I can get started on the interior which does need a fair amount of work. I do have some big exciting changes coming to the car in the next few months so I’m looking forward to sharing them but for now, I’ll keep this first post short. Here’s a list of what’s been done to date;


    Engine
    Mania Intake (similar to the Randall Intake design)
    Enlarged Mania Intake
    14 Degree Advanced Timing
    Mazdaspeed Strut Brace

    200 Cell Magnaflow Hi-Flow Cat

    Lightweight Flywheel

    Wheels/Suspension
    Guards Professionally Rolled

    FM Butterfly Brace and frame rails
    93 LE Tie End Rods (to reduce tramlining as car is lowered)

    Exterior
    Black Hardtop
    S2 Racing Front Bumper
    Zoom Engineering Side Markers
