MIATA MONDAY // LAPPING LAGUNA SECA

The car featured above belongs to a gentleman by the name of Scott, who, like a number of Miata owners I know, has been upgrading his roadster since the day he bought it. Powered by Mazda's 1.8-liter BP-I4 motor, Scott has since replaced the head with a ported and polished unit from a '99 Miata, added four Maruha Motors 45mm individual throttle bodies and stripped the powerplant of all the unnecessaries. The drivetrain has seen the addition of an ACT heavy duty clutch, Toda chromoly flywheel, Kaaz 1.5 way LSD, and a Maruha 4.875 final drive, while a set of Tein Flex coilovers help put power to the ground.

Aerodynamic and aesthetic improvements include the massive Rotora 3D GT rear wing, a custom front splitter with Garage Vary canards and APR splitter rods, Jubride fender flares, as well as a set of Work Meister S1's with 225/45/15 Toyo R888s mounted to them. For more images and information, check out the feature that former ColdTrackDays correspondent, Linhbergh Nguyen, put together for SpeedHunters // [comment]

  1. SICK Miata. Saw a feature on Speedhunters recently, and was thoroughly impressed.
