Less is more this week, thanks to Breezy’s “So-cal” low Roadster. Ok ok, it has New Jersey number plates, but John is temporarily residing in Southern Cali.
Breezy purchased the emerald green stunner in the summer of 07, from the original owner. The car was completely stock with very low mileage.
“It’s only until this past year or so when I really started making progress with the modifications to get it where I want it. I am really pleased with the results and it’s pretty much exactly where I want to be, for the time being, at least. Of course, we never know when we are truly “finished” with a car, right? I guess we’re never really finished.”
Now I remember just a few months ago seeing the beginning of this build, and I had high expectations at the time. Now seeing the recent pictures I’ve been blown away.
The height, the wheels, the stance in general, it’s … incredible!
Slamming the car to the pavement are brought to you by Tein Basic Coilovers, those wheels bolted onto the hubs on the NB, are the Aussie made Superlight GTR’s. With a 15×8 -4 Offset for sizing. And they sit pretty sweet on John’s Roadster.
Giving the NB that mega aggressive look are a pair of Garage Vary eyelids, the OEM front lip adds a nice touch to the front of the car too. There are some other little touches that make the NB a standout, like the short antenna, tinted tail lights, and modified OEM muffler.
John, somehow has added some under carriage bracing, some Flyin Miata frame rail braces to be exact, how well they hold up to the ride height I don’t know!
“I used to care about mileage accumulation on my previous cars (and on my Miata when I first got it). The way I see it now, a car is meant to be driven and enjoyed. This is not a collector car or extremely rare, for that matter.”
No doubt, Breezy drives in style, with a Miata like this, it would be sure to put a smile on his face every time he jumps in the driver’s seat.
Congratulations John, you are the Roadster Of The Week!
