NBC = No Bull Crap


I love my FD3s Rx7s but if you are after a car thats fun and has way more bang for the buck then you can't really go past a tuned NB Roadster. And they don't look bad either.


Hairdressers No. Your hair will be messed up in no time. That's one thing I never understood about that myth of open top cars. I'm bald, I don't care but I love convertibles.


Keyword is Tuned


From the factory these cars have some interesting things including a 6 speed manual gearbox. Turbo cars are fun but complicated and that means money and reliability is compromised.

This NA demo car from Tomei has most of my favourite components and would definately be a wonderful car to drive to and at the track.

Doesn't need much.

TEIN Dampers HR
TOMEI Computer
TOMEI Camshaft
TOMEI technical trax LSD
OS Giken Super Racing Clutch
5ZIGEN FIREBALL Muffler

Maxim Works Manifold
K&N filter
and some brake pads.
 
Thats pretty much it. But add some ITBs and you have a car that screams.
 
Add a BRIDE VIOS3 Bucket and youre ready. Maybe a cage if you get more serious.

Advan RGII (7J-16-+35) +Neova in size 205-55-16 means that replacements are really cheap. 16" tyres are consumables for track days and this is a great alternative. Even 15 inch rims are a viable option.


Garage Vary TYPE-N Aero on the Tomei Demo car is cool, but the front bar is controversial. Garage Vary's Demo Coupe is another No Bullshit car. Pure NA screamer with smaller rims for low cost racing.

The Roadster Cup races at Fuji Speedway in Japan and other Spec Miata races are very popular for a reason. These cars are great affordable sport.


I'd like the widebody effect of the Nopro demo car, but it's not necessary. that forces more expense, but the front bumper (re-amemiya) style looks great.

Hmmm. Street / Track. Can It be done in a Roadster.
