Here is an easy way to add vintage style to your Mazda Roadster. Fragile This Side Up Retro Club founder Joey Z. (aka NAautoxer) fastened a Raydot mirror to the original Mazda mirror base.

Today I share with you Kevin's NA6C Roadster built for drifting and show. He recently installed polished Superlite wheels, which are similar to RS Watanabe Type R. I think this is the perfect type wheel for Miata.

Vegard is a friend and moderator on ClubRoadster.net. Although Norway has very strict laws regarding vehicle modifications, Vegard pushes the envelope to create his cool MX-5. He is fortunate to have many twisty roads and picturesque settings in which to enjoy his car but the harsh winter weather means he only gets to enjoy top down motoring in spring, summer and fall seasons. The car is currently garaged while Vegard is working on swapping in a Torsen LSD and 6-speed transmission from a NB8C.
