ONE OF A KIND // TJIN EDITION SOLSTICE

We came across this on the 0-60 Magazine website and thought we’d share. Now, those truly dedicated to motorsports often find themselves the butt of a few jokes. Driving a Miata and getting away with it, is no small task. But a Solstice, now that's nearly impossible (unless your Rhys Millen), or so we thought.

What you are looking at is the handy work of Neil Tjin, a man known for his transformational Pontiac's (see Tjin Edition G8). So, when Neil got his hands on the Solstice, he took what was once a mild mannered two seater (a little on the girly side we might add), and added a little muscle. Neil's Solstice sports a fresh coat of Ninja Green PPG paint, a Hahn Racecraft stage two turbo kit, full Magnaflow cat-back exhaust, roll cage and is said to make some 284bhp.

If you have ever driven a force fed Miata, you are well aware what a little recycled air can do for a two seat drop top that weighs next to nothing. By far the best (ed note- the only) example of a well equipped, well sorted Pontiac Solstice we have seen thus far. Well done. For more info and pics, click here // 11.27.2008
