Maybe he didn't have 30k for one. Maybe he didn't want a 4-cylinder.

Who knows.

Has anyone V8 swapped an RF yet? smile
I haven't seen one, but for $50k over in the states they will fit you one (430bhp LS3)
Yeah, Flyin' Miata have done some...they were having clearance problems with the steering rack in RHD cars though. I don't know if they've solved that problem yet.

Why does every stanceworks car have sty looking screwed on bits of bodywork?!
It's 'on trend' at the moment, RWB / Liberty Walk etc
It's not even that because they're not big over fenders they're just a small set of rivet on arch extensions. It's just period correct, purposeful and looks good.
Well to me it looks st. Like its a screw on afterthought.
Worked for me.

That R30 is awesome, really like that. MX-5's are my flavour of the month at minute.







The Grey RF has got a TVR-esque about it.
Beautiful

Interesting.

Take one Ferrari 400. Play around with the chassis a bit. Chuck in a 2002 601hp, 8000 rpm 575 Maranello engine. Wrap it in a 250 GTOesq body and try and flog it for.............................£ 645,000.

The work does look pretty good though. Probably a very expensive plate too.

You decide............

I have no idea what that's actually worth, but I like it.

Nice idea for the roof, but the colour is a bit naff.

Yeah would have been nice colour coded rather than the colour of the interior.

Wow, love the roof, but yeah, would be nice body coloured. Super shiney.

Couple more angles of the roof. It actually looks really well made.

Nice roof, just needs colour coding.

The e30 was quite wobbly (scuttle shake) in cab form so I would expect that to rattle a bit.

OK, I really like that, anyone know the kit etc? think I had better make sure I fit in first...

Just a pity I can't have a black licence plate in the UK.

The MX-5 by a company called Rev9 Autosport, the kit is a mix and match of other parts though
