The Road(Ster) Trip – Dallas

Our Dallas event was not supposed to happen (this city was not in my route in the beginning), but many people asked for it and we decided to organize it. It became one of the biggest event we’ve hosted!

The event created a lot of “controversy” because it happened at the same time as an other regular event (hosted at a fast food joint called Keller’s) which had been going on for a very long while. We almost cancelled the event due to many people criticizing our choice of location (we’ve always been doing events in Microbreweries), but we decided to give it a go. For those who didn’t come to our event or those wondering why we didn’t go at their regular location, it’s an easy explanation. The REV9 USA Tour goal was to bring people who want to see our demo car, and share the same passion as we do. We didn’t want to just show up at other’s meeting. We wanted to promote the legit cars and see our valued customers from everywhere in USA!

Anyways, as we said, no need for drama and let’s enjoy each others! When I arrived at Community Brewing, many people were already there. The parking lot was huge and we parked the cars in a nice line…

 

 

(As you can see, A LOT of people showed up)!

 

I decided to take a photo of pretty much everyone who decided to join the event, before the sunset :

 

(Very neat 1993LE here!)

 

(Spot the Enkei Big End Barrel 15” Wheels on this NA)

 

(Lots of power in this picture!)

 

(Interesting NB with red top!)

 

(Sweet NC2 on Enkei RPF1 17” Wheels!)

 

(That NA was battle-ready!)

 

Really, a lot of people showed up!

 

By a lot, I mean a lot…

 

Some people showed late and couldn’t make it in the group image…

 

I met some awesome people, and had a really great time at a small after-party in Intrinsinc Smokehouse & Brewing (my 2 favorite things)!

 

After the event, I decided to drive towards a location I’ve seen on so many pictures, I needed to see it myself… Amarillo, TX!

 

The location itself is called “Cadillac Ranch” and is known for having many Cadillacs buried where you can just paint over it… really artsy!

 

Good luck getting a picture with no body in the frame…


(This shot shows nicely the TK-Style Carbon Front Lip, Advan RZ 17″ Wheels & Rallybacker Ducktail Spoiler)!

Gotta love the windfarms!

 

I don’t mind getting dirty for a cool shot!

(Good shot showing our REV9 Katanaka Banner as well as the REV9 V2 Stickers!)

 

A few more…

 

… and one of my favorite shot of the whole trip!

 

After that, I was heading towards Phoenix, AZ and decided to do some photoshoots during my drive…

 

(Calm before the storm!)

 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post! It’s 1 year late, but still, I’ll cover this whole Road(Ster) Trip as it was the best time of my life!

The Road(Ster) Trip – Austin 2017

Austin was the second city I visited in the great state of Texas.

A nice lineup of Roadsters came out to hangout and drink a beer or two at Circle Brewing Company.

The ND’s gotta stick together.

I parked up front 🙂

A neat ceramic ND with Mazdaspeed front lip and side skirts.

This Soul Red ND had a Mazdaspeed front lip as well.

Another NDRF !

Garage Vary Eyelids make this lowered Mazdaspeed NB2 look pretty nice.

This NB is a little rough but look at those wheels ! They are 15” Enkei RPF1-RS with Special Brilliant Coating(SBC).

The NA’s also came out for the meet.  This one has some nice aero fenders and wide wheels.

Montego Blue NA with 15″ 5-ZIGEN wheels.

By far the coolest Miata at the meet ! 15″ Star Road Glow Star MS-G look fantastic on the red NA! The Project-G Corner flare with fender flares is a nice touch. The car had lots of hard-to-find parts as well.

The interior is just as awesome! Look at all that Nakamae Quilted Interior Pieces : Quilted Dashboard, Quilted Top Cover, Quilted Door Cards & Quilted Seat Covers…. amazing!

Drool.

This race ready NA was very pristine from Austin of Austin.

Sunburst Yellow and 14″ Enkei’s RPF-1’s are such a good combo!

That red hardtop though !

Nardo grey paint on white wheels and red side mirrors make this one super cool and unique, also beautiful Garage Vary Front Lip. Funnily enough, the owner was at our first meeting of the year in Connecticut driving a Nismo 350Z!

The Texas sun is no joke. Great wheel fitment nonetheless.

 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks to everyone who attended this meet in Austin. I had a great time. Met some awesome people and still love this city as much as last time. Next stop…….Dallas!

The Road(Ster) Trip – Houston 2017

After surviving New Orleans, I decided to continue my adventure to a place where I held a meeting last year : Houston, Texas. I knew that the cars would show up would be legit, as last year’s attendance was pretty nice.

I almost cancelled the event due to Hurricane Harvey. Half of the city was still under the water, but the location where we wanted to hold the event (8th Wonder Brewing) had been lucky enough to stay dry.

We decided to hold a fundraising at the same time and give free beers in return of a donation!

Oh well, enough talk and let’s get to the cool pictures!

When I showed up (late, as usual), there was already a bunch of people at the event (and some familiar faces from last year).

I parked the car and started taking pictures before it became too dark:

This car just keeps on getting better. It’s owned by Nic Johnson. The Barchetta Front Bumper, TRAP Front Lip, RS Watanabe B-Type, REV9 1028 Mirrors and Garage Vary Intake Lid just makes it super classy!

My car was finally clean, showing nicely the new REV9 Katakana Banner!

Francisco’s NB was now rocking a beautiful Autoexe NB Front Bumper, the Rays MTE37 16×8 +25, Jet Stream Aero Fenders, Jet Stream Clubman GT Side Steps and Garage Vary Eyelids makes it perfect in my opinion!

The interior rocking a lot of custom work just makes it even nicer!

This cool NA owned by Chris had Work GooCar 15” Wheels with Runabout M2 Mirrors and KG Works Front Turn Signals. Super classy.

The clean engine bay was showing a Jackson Racing Supercharger & Rare/Discontinued ARC Radiator Plate.

The interior was also very clean with subtle and elegant touches.

This ND on Advan RZ-2 17” Wheels was also rocking the Autoexe Fog Lights & REV9 Matte Black Emblems!

It also had the Garage Vary Rear Spoiler and TUCKIN99 Short Antenna!

This nice limited edition NA with newly added TRAP Front Lip & Enkei RPF-1 14” Wheels looked pretty good too.

A clean example of NA with Enkei Classic Compe 15” Wheels!

And I always reserve a small showcase on this car, because it’s so unique and clean! This NA owned by Marc has the beautiful Jet Stream Clubman R Front Lip, Car Make Corn’s Classic Mirrors, KG Works Rear Spoiler, Garage Vary Tail Lights, Project-G Hardtop Spoiler and so many cool other parts~

Some other people showed as well!

And some non-Miatas too~

It was a really fun meeting and I’m happy to have hosted a second event in Houston. Totally worth it!

Funnily enough, I ended up on local news a few days later because I was stuck in traffic…

I hope you enjoyed this post! I’m really sorry for making these blog post a year later…

The Road(Ster) Trip – New Orleans 2017

I’ve been to New Orleans quite a few times, but never did a proper event in the city of vice! After many request to do it, I decided to do it. It was totally worth it~

 

When I arrived, there were already quite a few people. The sun was hitting us HARD that day! Let’s say the night before was a bit intense for me, but I recovered nicely and met with some awesome people!

 

This sleeper NA with a big blower and interesting intake setup:

 

Neat NC on Work Emotion Wheels!

 

A NB with a very interesting looking hardtop:

 

Some cool looking NA & NB:

 

This dual center exhaust setup was really nice:

 

A slammed NA with super wide steelies & Runabout S800 Mirrors~

 

It was so hot, everyone had an umbrella to avoid the sunburns… I did not bring an umbrella unfortunately! I really like the neat look my car had when I was riding on those 17” Advan RZ Wheels.

 

This pretty cool NB with Mazda Big Lip Kit and additional ground effect was very nice:

 

This dark blue NB with Garage Vary Front Lip was also pretty sweet

 

At one point, cars were everywhere, but none were next to each other… so we decided to move some road cones and create our own parking :

 

Find which car does not belong in the lineup… (just kidding, we enjoy all type of Roadsters)!

 

… but we need a Mazda-only shot, too!

 

That was a lot of people for a last minute meeting!

 

Great parking job!

 

And the obligatory side shots (showing nicely our new REV9 V2 Stickers) :

(Why did that Kia come break our perfect lineup…)

 

And here are more photos of the event :

 

I hope you enjoyed this picture heavy post! I’m really sorry for making these blog post almost a year later (actually over a year later), but I really want to show how awesome this Road(Ster) Trip was!

Karuizawa Meeting 2018 – ND Edition

Welcome back for part IIII and final blog of our Karuizawa Meeting coverage. We’ll focus on the current miata, the ND. A bunch of ND’s were on display in the vendor section. Let’s check them out!

 

Shop Cars

AutoExe had two demo cars which were displaying many engine bay parts. We can see the beautiful Rays 57Xtreme 17″ Wheels on there.

Shown here is their Ignition Coil Cover, Intake Suction kit and Ram Air Intake.

The Strut Tower Brace stands out in the Autoexe signature red color.

Murakami Motors brought one of their race cars. Unfortunately, no hardtop. It’s rocking some nice Rays ZE40 17″ Wheels.

RS Factory Stage had their demo car on display. It was showcasing a Front Underspoiler and Gold 15” Enkei RPF1 wheels and a Duck Tail Spoiler. A Garage Vary Vented Hood can be seen as well.

Joyfast had a soul red NDRF with a Garage Vary Front Lip Type-2 and TUCKIN99 Bottom Line Side Skirt. It’s also rocking the limited TWS (JoyFast) T-66F 16″ Wheels!

Nielex had their ND on jack stands to display their Body Reinforcement Kit under the chassis. It also has a RallyBacker Hardtop installed on there.

The Esqueleto ceramic ND stood out with their blue bucket seats and their Front Lip.

Their new trunk spoiler got unveiled at Karuizawa.

Nakamae showed up with this Crystal White ND with some interior goodies.

The Nakamae Quilted Soft Top Headliner looked great!

ARRIVE’s demo car was showcasing their new KONI Suspension.

Inside we could see some red leather goods that matched the Soul Red body color nicely.

Jet’s Integral Kobe ND had their Front Lip and some Rays CE28N 16” wheels.

Car Make Corn’s demo car was quite simple with a Mazdaspeed Front Skirt and their bucket sets in tan.

S2 Racing showing off their front bumper.

Very aggressive. I quite like it.

Last but not least, Garage Vary. This car has gotten new wheels since the last time I saw it.  However, it still has the Vented Fenders, Vented Hood, Side Skirts and Front Bumper. You can also spot a cool Saito ND Roll Cage.

The rear is just as aggressive as the front with the Rear Air Duct and Ducktail Spoiler.

 

 

Awesome ND’s

Plenty of ND’s in attendance this year. Here’s a few that I liked.

An abundance of Rays TE37 Sonics 16″ Wheels were spotted. Bronze on Jet Black is always a good choice!

Another Black ND with 16” Advan RZ wheels and AutoExe Rear Wing Spoiler.

This Crystal White ND had Mazdaspeed accents. You can also see nice 2-tone Autowear Seat Covers.

Leg Sport Ducktail Spoiler and 15” Rays Sonic wheels complete the look for this ND.

More MTE37’s! The front bra is very unusual on Nds.

This a good back shot of the AutoExe Rear Wing Spoiler and Knight Sports Rear Diffuser.

17” Advan RZ-II wheels looking proper on this ND.

Still not convinced you need TE37 Sonics on your car?

The CF Damd Front Lip and gold 16” SSR Formula Mesh wheels look amazing on this car.

RS Factory Stage Front Underspoiler and 17” Rays TE37V’s can be seen on this beauty.

Gunmetal 17” Advan RG-D2 wheels looking good.

Last one…..I promise. Beautiful Formula Silver MTE37 16×8 Wheels shown here!

Blue 17” Rays ZE40 wheels on blue ND = awesome.

Love this rear end! Knight Sports kit all around.

Nice mods on this one. Garage Vary Front Lip Type-2 and 16” TE37 Sonic wheels.

Same wheels as the previous car but with a more flush +25 offset.

Finally, lets end this section with my favorite! Knight Sports Trunk Spoiler and Leg Sport Club Sport Rear Diffuser and awesome wheels set this one apart.

 

Unique ND’s

 

17” Work Goocars Hemi’s! You can also spot the nice Integral Kobe Ducktail Spoiler, Autoexe Rear Diffuser and Autoexe Dual-Tail Exhaust.

Duck’s Garden aero kit!

Digging the color scheme. Fujimura Auto Vented Hood flows nicely with the aggressive front bumper.

That’s a KUHL Racing Swan Neck GT Wing.

Found a NDRF with more KUHL Racing aero.

 

 

Craziest ND’s

Interesting choice in paint and wheels.

Lime green….

 

This concludes our Karuizawa Meeting Coverage of 2018. Hope you enjoyed the pictures and found some inspiration for your build! Can’t wait ‘til next year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karuizawa Meeting 2018 – NC Edition

Welcome back for part III of our Karuizawa Meeting coverage. We’ll focus on the 3rd generation roadster. A few NC’s were on display in the vendor section. Let’s check them out!

 

Shop Cars

NOPRO had this super nice yellow NC3 with their Type TA Front Bumper.

It also had the NOPRO Rear Spoiler, NOPRO Rear Underspoiler, and the beautiful NOPRO GT Spec Hardtop. Such an amazing looking car!

Barchetta had this blue and orange themed NC1 with 18” Enkei RPF1 wheels.

Car Make Corn’s brought this off-road NC. This seems to be new trend in Japan.

These two were representing S2 Racing.

The owner of Jet Stream had his personal NC on display.  It has a Jet Stream Top Nose Duct, Jet Stream N-Zero Front Lip, and Jet Stream Clubman R01 Side Steps.

Interesting fact, those are R32 GTR wheels.

 

Awesome NC’s

Now the NC’s that caught my eye in attendance.

This grey NC rocking a Garage Vary NC3 Front Lip on Enkei wheels looks so good.

Another grey roadster with an aggressive front bumper and Odula Cooling Hood.

NOPRO with eyeballs :p

Stock NC with a good stance and wheels.

Garage Vary Glide Lip Spoiler looks great in white.

Garage Vary Eye Lids are a small mod but make a great improvement aesthetically.

Bronze Rays TE37’s on a white car is always a good choice.

Oh my … the Enkei RPF-1 Wheels, Garage Vary Front Spoiler and everything color combo is incredible. Classy.

I’m digging these wheels. Advan Wheels always have sweet spot in my heart.

 

Unique NC’s

These NC’s had a unique quality to them.

Aggressive NC with a cool front bumper and pandas.

Unique wheels! I quite like them. OEM Special Edition BBS.

Mismatching finishes on the wheels and the graphics set this one apart. So cool though! The Jet Stream N-Zero Front Lip & Jet Stream PRHT Ducktail Spoiler really look nice in here.

Craziest NC’s

This NC had a matte finish with so many aggressive parts! I spy some Murakami Carbon Mirrors, NOPRO PRHT Rear Spoiler and NOPRO Rear Diffuser.

 

Next week, I’ll go over the ND shop cars and the ND’s in attendance. Hope you enjoyed this post!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karuizawa Meeting 2018 – NB Edition

Part II of our Karuizawa coverage! We’ll focus on the NB. Unfortunately, NB’s got no love in the vendor section. So, we’ll skip to the NB’s in attendance~

 

Awesome NB’s

Here’s the NB’s that stood out from the rest.

This NB was rocking the 3 piece Jetstream Front Lip.

Rays 15” Gram lights 57v look great on the NB.

Rays MTE37’s in Formula Silver make this stock NB look great.

Another stock NB with a great stance and wheel fitment.

This RS Aizawa front bumper is so awesome! Mini Viper 😊

In attendance was the RE Amemiya 13B NB. Very popular car that turned heads at the Tokyo Auto Salon a few years back.

It has a Renesis 13B motor from a RX8.

Horsepower is around 250hp

Love the mods on this one! Garage Vary Hardtop (Fastback), Jet Stream Rear Bumper Lower Diffuser, and the US Racing Sports Duck Tail Trunk.

The front of this 10AE was just as good. Custom projector fitted headlights and a Garage Vary Front Lip.

My favorite NB goes to this coupe. It has the Jet Stream Rear Diffuser, NOPRO trunk spoiler, and some nice fitted Volk Racing CE28N black wheels.

The rear Carbing Tow Hook is a nice touch.

This NB2 has the Jet Stream Clubman NB1 Front Lip, Clubman R Side Steps and Jet Stream Door Handle Covers. Yup, you read that right…it’s a NB1 front bumper with NB2 headlights. Nicely executed!

The Arrive Devil GT Wing is a popular choice in Japan.

Lastly, this yellow NB looks great on 14” TE37’s.

 

Unique NB’s

These are the NB’s that made the unique list.

What a way to start this category but with this pink NOPRO widebody NB. The NOPRO Vented Hood is the most aggressive-looking one we carry.

You are probably wondering if it was owned by a female….

I really don’t know. The owner wasn’t around. The NOPRO Wide Rear Spoiler is something else though.

A few Monocraft front conversions were spotted.

This one had Morette tails and a center exit exhaust.

A Jet Stream GT200 Kit (without front section) with a unique paint scheme.

This back NB1 had white accents. Interesting for sure. The RS Factory Stage Front Lip looks great in there.

Monocraft with flares. Pretty aggressive looking. The 16″ RS Watanabe R-Type really compliment the car very well!

This NB covered with D-technique parts was unique for sure.

Another Jet Stream with GT200 Widebody Kit spotted among the sea of cars.

 

 Craziest NB’s

This NB2 wins this category. Off road with style (Work CR01 Wheels!).

 

Next week, I’ll go over the NC shop cars and the NC’s in attendance. Hope you enjoyed this post!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karuizawa Meeting 2018 – NA Edition

Every May I make my annual journey to Japan to attend the Karuizawa Meeting. It’s my favorite time of the year!

The Karuizawa Meeting is by far the most popular Miata meet in Japan (and maybe the world). This car meet is a good opportunity to see what new in the Miata world as many vendors come out to display the new parts they have released. This blog will go over the NA shop cars and some of the awesome, unique, and craziest NA’s in attendance.

 

NA Shop Cars

Garage Hundred One is a regular at Karuizawa. This year they brought this beautiful NA sporting their new NA Front Lip and NA Ducktail Spoiler. Love the color scheme on this car with the bronze Rays CE28N 15″ Wheels.

Look how tall their duck tail spoiler is! If you closely, you can see the corners have a unique design to them. You can also spot their NA Aero Mirror.

KenAuto brought back their blue NA with Rays TE37v 15″ Wheels. I guess they were big fans of the royal wedding. Congrats Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! You can also see the Murakami Carbon Fiber Mirrors on this car~

Barchetta made an appearance with this yellow track car on 14” bronze MTE37’s.

Nakamae had this very clean silver roadster with steelies & Runabout M2 Mirror.

Jetstream always has the coolest shop cars at Karuizawa. For the NA, they showcased one of their customers cars. Love the custom integration of the NC rear diffuser and the custom CF uprights for the Arrive Devil GT Wing. You can also spot the Brightning Tail Light Covers, the Jet Stream Hardtop Spoiler & the rear section of the Jet Stream Fender Flares.

Garage Vary had a red shop car with so many of their parts. Most notably, the new low-profile NA Duck Tail Trunk Spoiler and NA Rear Diffuser. You can also see their beautiful DIY Tail Lights as well as the NA Fastback Hardtop.

Jet’s Integral Kobe also made an appearance to showcase a few of their parts. They are known for their sporty exhaust systems. They were showcasing their new NA Clubman Replacement Muffler. You could also spot the sexy Rays TE37 Sonic 15″ Wheels!

Wondering why there’s a steering column assembly on top of the car? Jet’s has developed an Electric Power Steering System for the NA. The price tag for this puppy…..$4,000 installed!

 

Awesome NA’s

Let’s check out the NA’s spotted in the massive parking lots at Karuizawa! There were so many to choose from, but these made it to our “awesome” list.

This red and blue NA with fender mirrors. Classic. Both are rocking the 100% custom NA Front Conversion by Shinkai.

Garage Hundred One customer car. All black accessories (showcasing beautiful Jet Stream Turn Signal Intakes) except for the classic Runabout M2 Mirrors!

It has the duck tail spoiler seen earlier.

NA with S2 Racing Front Bumper in merlot fashion (rocking beautiful Rays TE37V 15″ Wheels).

These guys stood out! I personally call them the Skittles~

Another sweet merlot with Enkei Big End Rodders & beautiful S2 Racing Tail Lights. The roll cage is by Saito!

Some deep dish steelies!

MTE37’S can transform the look of any car. Check out the wide front and rear fenders.

Love the Work wheels and BRIDE seats. The Project-G Bikini Top is spot-on and the OE-Style Rear Lip completes the car very nicely.

Love the dark green pin stripe all along the OEM groove of the car. Such a clever idea! Looks beautiful.

The RS Factory Stage Trunk Spoiler gives this NA a great look.

Barchetta Front Bumper with Hayashi Street CR 15″ Wheels looks great!

Finally, these two awesome Pitcrew’s. Sorry, no front shots. The green one has Pit Crew Rear End, RS Watanabe R-Type 16″ Wheels & SO many cool parts!

 

Unique NA’s

These NA’s are unique in many ways which is not necessarily a bad thing.

^^ This one has a very unique KG Works Rear Louvers that was discontinued LONG ago and made in very small quantities. Also, spot the beautiful Jet Stream Type-1 Spoiler!

Craziest NA’s

This category speaks for itself.

Any Hello Kitty fans?

You look dashing.

We hope you enjoyed the coverage at Karuizawa Meeting 2018!

REV9 Bangkok Meet (Most Expensive Roadsters!)

I’ve visited a lot of places in my life, but Bangkok caught my heart. The place has a lot of fun, feels quite safe and has all the craziness you’re looking for. In other terms of craziness, a ND MX-5 has a base price of 2.7 Million Baht (2,700,000B)!

It may not mean anything to you, but 30B = $1 USD. A rule of 3 makes a MX-5 price out of the showroom at a whooping USD $90,000! Now, that’s a high price to pay, but let me tell you that all owners really take care of their cars! A used NA car in Thailand costs about USD $20,000, so the value is still pretty good.

 

Why are they so expensive? The government put around 300% tax on specific import vehicles… and they don’t allow import of used cars!

 

During my visit to Thailand, I decided to do a small and informal REV9 Meeting. I decided the location very last minute, and the forecast was less than ideal, so I didn’t expect many people to show up.

 

Luckily, the meet ended up being pretty nice… now let’s show those pictures!

 

It was a beautiful and colorful event:

 

Many people who showed up are long time REV9 customers, I was so happy to put faces on names! Here’s a car who had parts mostly coming from us:

 

The car had a neat and rare RS Aizawa Front Bumper, RS Active Headlights, beautiful Jet Stream Turn Signals & ZOOM Fuel Lid :

The interior was also pretty crazy with a lot of awesomeness. It had a beautiful match of yellow Kevlar, carbon fiber & suede. Not to mention the super rare and cool Club-NA Swarovski Horn Button (bling bling!).

 

This car was built to perfection, the rear end was just as amazing as the rest of the car. He has the REV9 OE-Style Carbon Fiber Trunk that’s custom painted to fade to blue, it’s the first time I saw that and absolutely loved it. The Garage Vary Tail Lights also really complement the car!

 

The car was also rocking some beautiful special edition Work Equip 03 15” Wheels with AP Racing Big Brake Kit and the rear fender body work was exceptional:

 

Don’t get me wrong, usually, when doing meetings, I don’t post SO many pictures of one car, but you really do need to see the engine bay:

 

The car had a beautiful IRTB kit that ran perfectly fine (and was swapped with 2005 NB 1.8L engine), everything was just perfect. The REV9 OE-Style Carbon Radiator Panel also looked quite nice in there.

 

The owner told me he also has a Pit Crew NA as well as an Acura NSX… I was starting to get jealous there…

 

OK, now let’s check the other cars who attended the meeting;

 

A brand new $90,000 car!

 

A mildly modified ND with many parts from Blitz! I really like the Blitz ND Battery Holder! The car was also on beautiful Rays 57Transcend 17” Wheels!

 

Some more people showed up!

 

This ND had some interesting custom mods. Also, it’s actually very rare to get a Manual Transmission ND in Thailand… this one had to come through the grey market… at least he’s got the Recaro package!

 

The car had custom spoiler (KUHL inspired), custom dual exhaust and Advan RS 17” Wheels!

The event was going pretty well!

 

A last visitor came in, with a beautiful time capsule!

The car was rocking A LOT of super rare parts. He had beautiful RS Watanabe 14” B-Type Wheels, Garage Vary Tail Lights, Mazdaspeed Roll Bar, Runabout M2 Mirrors and something I never saw… NOPRO Triangle Window!

 

The exterior of this car was simple and beautiful, done with taste.

 

And now you can see the beauty of the Garage Vary Tail Lights for NA…

 

The interior was done really modestly, but with lot of taste, too. It had beautiful KG Works Crash Pad Integrated Meters,  a nice Motolita Steering Wheel, a cool & retro Denon Sound System & KG Works Ventilation Balls were featured:

 

The car also had super rare Mazdaspeed Bucket Seat:

 

This meeting was absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed my time in Thailand (the land of smiles), made new friends and had great time checking all of those super cool cars!

 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post! Lots of pictures… I know! If you missed it, we also did a meeting in Taipei, showcasing the biggest Mazda dealership in Asia!

The Road(Ster) Trip – Key West & Tampa Meeting

Oh, it’s been a while we’ve done a blog post! This one is mainly about our meeting in Tampa during August of 2017! Yep, we’re almost 1 year late, but the blog post is pretty awesome.

I’m sorry about the time it took, we’ve been busy improving our service and shipping time lately! We’ll continue posting the other Road(Ster) Trip Blog Posts in the next few weeks~ LOTS of awesome pictures to show!

So, I first started by going to the Southernmost point of USA : Key West. It’s a beautiful drive that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys ocean views!

This shot shows the TK Style Front Lip and Odula Side Skirts (both in Carbon Fiber finish) pretty well :

Here are some more images of the photo shoot before showing the image from the Tampa Meeting:

My favorites…

Such a nice place….

 

But it was time to leave….

 

Key West to Tampa was a long drive. I was not so lucky on this one… it rained the whole time, but I also managed to hit a road reflector which flew off under my car and made by whole side skirt panel to fall off…

I did not notice until someone pointed at my car, and I knew something was wrong…

Unfortunately, it was too late…

 

 

Luckily, I had some stickers from many visit at breweries which I used to make the side skirt hold to the side of the car… temporarily.

 

Let’s move on to the Tampa Meet! I arrived and there were quite many people already! I had a good excuse to be late… haha! Here are the photos :

 

This NA was such a neat car. Working some (narrow) Work Equip 03 15” Wheels, KG Works Ducktail Spoiler and ZOOM Carbon Fiber Mirrors :

 

This was pretty awesome :

 

Gotta love this NA rocking the new Work Equip 40 Wheels, REV9 OE-Style Mirrors & Jubiride Fender Flares!

 

Here’s another nice car with Garage Vary Front Lip & Work Equip 01 Wheels!

 

Alex’s NB rocking NUE Front Wider Fender Flares & NUE Rear Wide Fender Flares was filthy!

 

Dope door panels by my friend at Spinnywoosh:

 

And then the rain came… (what’s up Tatiana?)

 

V6 ND!

 

Had to take a good shot of this beauty… the Jet Stream Type-2 Ducktail Spoiler for NA! So perfect.

 

Special mention for the NB with custom made rally lights with plexi glass cover!

 

And the lowest ND I ever saw joined the party (rocking 16×8 +0 wheels) :

 

 

Here are some photos of other cars I could take before rain became unbearable :

 

It was an awesome meeting! It’s a shame that the weather was not with us, but we’ve had an awesome time!

 

We ended up doing a party at Spinnywoosh’s place… it ended up being pretty Miataseque-epic!

 

We hope you enjoyed this very late post about our Road(Ster) Trip to Tampa! You can check the previous posts using this link and we’ll continue adding more posts in the coming weeks!
