RSpeed Miata & MINI Specialists

Recently I was on travel for a work assignment and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit Atlanta's Miata Mecca to say hi to some cool folks who have helped me keep my own Miata looking and running good by supplying super awesome parts and customer service. Joe, the owner of RSpeed, always parks his 1991 Silverstone Miata out front to welcome customers.



Inside the front entrance is a lobby area with display cases and a lounge for customers to wait while their car is being serviced. Straight ahead is the service counter. Meet Hector on the left, Joe on the right



Oil filters, brake fluid, fuel system / engine treatments, etc.







Display cases filled with lots of fun goodies to accessorize your Miata.

Although I've spoken with both Joe and Hector on the telephone several times when ordering parts, this was my first time meeting either of them in person. After introducing myself they welcomed me to tour their facility. My friend Peter (thebluepotato) recently purchased a classic Mini and it seems Hector shares the same enthusiasm for these motoring icons.



Warning: Don't mess with this car!



Two Miatas occupy the lifts in the service bay. The black Miata in the background just got a Eaton MP62 supercharger kit from Moss Motors installed by the talented mechanics at RSpeed. The white Miata in the foreground is getting some engine maintenance performed.



RSpeed does installs of performance parts, accessories like spoilers and soft tops and they also do general vehicle maintenance. Here they are in the middle of a very difficult job to change out a bad oil pump.



Inside one of the many parts storerooms at RSpeed. They do a lot of mail order business all over the world. Stacks of Chaparral wheels and hundreds of R-package front and rear bumper lip spoilers waiting for happy customers.



Joe and Hector taking care of business in the office. Notice the Miata poster on the wall and the K.G. Works decal decorating the workstation.



RSpeed is working with a foundry to cast aluminum mirror bases to make these vintage Raydot style mirrors a direct Miata bolt-on fitment.





Outside Joe showed me his money pit Mercedes-Benz 280SE that he can't find anyone to help him wrench on. It's a pretty pimp ride! Old school MB quality with lots of hand made trim.



It was nice to spend a brief moment hanging out with the kind people at RSpeed. I appreciate all they do to help supply enthusiasts with parts and service. Next time I hope we can all go out to grab some sushi and a tall, cold Asahi beer!
