Rest in peace, Dewa-san.
Rest in peace, Dewa-san.
I have the very last set of independent billet bezels/non-glare glass gauge covers they made for the NB--they were the display set. When I called looking for a set he offered them to me since they were out of any others. Along with the panel from AWD, they are just beautiful. I can't use them now due to the SH gauges I run, which is a damn shame, because they're lovely. I have the whole thing (Japan-spec gauges, mounts, etc.) just sort of sitting in my shop like art.
Buy another gauge cluster, and wire the lights to work on wall-power. would look great

Sad day in our Miata world to see a visionary artist pass.
may his soul RIP. extremely grateful that his work can still live on through the needle caps that were installed on my gauges recently.
I remember wanting a set of the guages When I was first introduced to his stuff. RIP

I was talking with the RS Aizawa boys about this yesterday. The company will fold; it is only being kept open long enough for his son to send off what completed sets they have, cancel orders than cannot be filled, etc., and then it is gone.
This is sad news as well.
I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.
The roadster family was a better place with Dewa-san. His loss will be long felt.
Art Works Dewa (AWD) 's Ryoichi Dewa, who started on NA, NB, and NC Roadster, and was making meter panels for multiple models, died on January 4th.
