If you look at all of Mazda's sports cars from recent times, the two that stand out the most have to be the RX7 and the MX-5. The "Seven" is of course known for its unconventional rotary engine while the MX-5 is the world's best selling sports car due to its low price and high fun factor. What do you get when you combine both? You get cars like this NA6CE Miata owned by AJ Phelps from the Vancouver, BC area. AJ saw that we were featuring Mazda this month and sent us some photos of his project, and we quickly agreed that this car deserved to be featured here on Speedhunters....

The photo of this Eunos Roadster in Japan is from Livedoor, one of my former clients in Japan that specializes in end user blogs. I found a photo of this car on Club Roadster, and I think it has exactly the type of stance that all MX-5 Roadsters should have. Just look at the fitment on those rear wheels! NICE! I'm sure the car was a work in progress when this photo was taken, because if the owner of the car put that much effort to make the rear look perfect like that, then it's unlikely they...

Last night after waiting in line for an hour at The Boiling Crab in Alhambra CA (extremely worth the wait, BTW), I decided to meet up with my friends to check out this Miata meet in the City of Industry. My friend Paul from OC (the owner of a super cool white Miata with excellent stance) told me I should go, as there were all sorts of people talking on the Miata forum about how they'd be slamming their cars super low just for this meet. Low cars? I'm in. After all, it's Mazda Month.....

In the last few days I've been looking for everything I can find related to Miatas. I'm getting more and more interested in these cars. They're very nimble and light, but with a engine that puts out 150bhp from its 1.8 liter engine it's man enough to hold its own on the track or street. When looking for a nice second hand one I came across several cars that cost less than 6000 euro. That's seriously cheap for a car with so much potential. There are many tuners that offer several...

As a former NA chassis Mazda Roadster owner, I will always have a soft spot for the original version of Mazda's iconic sports car. When it comes to NA Roadsters, the Frog Eyes circuit car has to be one of the coolest ever. From it's mega wide RS Watanabe wheels to its John Player Special livery homage, the car is just dripping with coolness. It also runs like a bat out of hell......

Look at what I came across while surfing the intertubes! This has got to be one of the most stylish daily driven track weapons I've ever seen. The folks over at www.tripleZoom.com have a full feature on the car and the driver, and I must say, it's a great read. The owner, Chris Lee, has some of the rarest Miata parts on this continent. Not the least of which are those massive flares. Am I alone in loving "Dampa Chi" the little Tein mascot??? Of course, he needs those flares to fit...

Cars have been a part of my life since before I can remember. My family has pictures of me going to car shows with my dad while I was still in a stroller. Even as a toddler, I was taking notice of cars around me. My mom says that I was able to identify pickup trucks just by looking at their tailgates. I couldn't read the words on them, but somehow I could recognize the logos. I don't recall owning too many action figures growing up. Instead, my toy box was filled with Matchboxes, Hotwheels...

Even though I was super busy handling announcements at Motoring J Style, I was just taken aback by this particular NA8 Miata, which was owned by Irvin Sevilla from Castro Valley, CA. Sure, there were plenty of Miatas at the event, but this particular one had such outstanding attention to detail - that's what makes a car really stand out to me. Often times, there are many cars at car shows, drift events, and on the internet that people just go crazy over; they over-enthusiastically proclaim how...
