The Miata is one of “those” cars: models with such a huge enthusiast following that every single variation has been built by now. Fast Miatas. Slow Miatas. Track Miatas. Low Miatas. Like the BMW M3, Ford Mustang and Chevy pickup, Mazda’s Miata is a blank canvas for wrench wielders to customize.
Never like this, though. This Miata, built by Paco …
I really like it. Even with the BFTs...
It was certainly a sight to see on the skidpad.
"Long Travel Miata" is something I never thought I would say.
That much awesomeness in one vehicle.
Thanks for the reminder, Paco needs to bring that beast out for our next autocross. Have to put it the same class with stadium trucks.......

Wait. I live in Kentucky. And I have a miata. Hmmmmmmmm
You can pre-order the kit by calling Mark, or order some of the other products he offers on his website.
Watching that video makes it hard not believe that Miata is really an R/C car. For all the world it looks like a Tamiya truck that someone swapped a Mazda shell on.
The way those air bags are mounted and the angle on the tie rods are both scary. Are those doubled-up coil springs rubbing together?
This kit looks, at best, unfinished.
Air bags and doubled shocks are gone, in favor of AFCO custom coilovers. Car has been airborne multiple times with hard landings and no difference in alignment or damage to the tie rods. People will SURELY break stuff however, and this kit is NOT for the faint of heart, or for the careless. 
In reply to mxseven:
There should be a warning/disclaimer in the instructions: "If at any point after the completion of the kit you feel the need to say 'Hold my beer & watch THIS!' please park the car, get out, and turn off the camera."
In reply to Alan Cesar:
To be fair on the tie rods, it looks to be at or near full droop in the shot.
Curious what the price will be. I mean it's cool having an off road Miata, but is it better or cheaper than a used XJ Cherokee, a Wrangler, or K5 Blazer?
The simple 3 inch lift kit makes a lot more sense.
Pricing is on the website. www.pacomotorsports.com
The Offroadster is not trying to be a Jeep of any kind, and will likely never be 4 wheel drive. You don't build an offroad Miata because it's the most capable or economical offroad vehicle. If you have to justify it in those terms, it's probably just not the vehicle for you.
IF, however, you want to have a ton of hooligan fun and never go unnoticed on the street, it's pretty hard to beat for that!
