JDM parts on your Miata?

How about the entire catalog?

Exterior? This Eunos Roadster sports a full Pitcrew aero kit, molded fender flares, Garage Vary taillights and Pitcrew single-wiper conversion.

Interior? Nardi wheel, Heuer watches, Trackstar stopwatches and Jass retro accessories.

Wheels? 14x7-inch SSR MK2s.

Chassis? Cusco bracing and a Mazdaspeed tower brace.

Seem like a lot? We barely scratched …

The longer I look at the pictures in the listing, the more awesome stuff I find.

Whoever owned this really dumped everything they had into outfitting it.

I've seen this front and rear end conversion before and while I think it looks kinda cool, I don't think that it looks as good as stock. Mazda must have done something right to have their tail lights in the Museum of Modern Art:

The car looks a lot less Miata like. However, it's still striking.

We’ve had a Miata with a Pitcrew nose at our local Orlando Roadsters Miata meet-ups.

So, is it Pitcrew or Pit Crew?

I told Paris that I’d grab a JDM Miata magazine off my shelf and see what I could find.

And from the same issue.

While in Japan, I saw tons of these, each clean and very well maintained. This one makes me excited to go back and find more. Who know, maybe I'll bring one back.

Oh I like that rocket dancer front end. Very Lotus Elan M100.

Okay, yeah, now I see it. It’s rather crisp.

That's the spirit.

Just be careful, you might be sent with a shopping list from some of our forum users. wink

And those Pitcrew photos came from this magazine/book: Eunos & Mazda Roadster Dress Up & Light Tuning Guide.

I like them with flares and Watanabe wheels.  Are the headlights too low on the kit to be legal?  I know there is a minimum height requirement.

There is a Pit Crew bodied Miata for sale here in the Boston area, listed at $4000. I've bought other parts off the seller and seen the car in person, the body is in rough shape but the chassis is in good condition and it's supposed to be mechanically sound

I believe that car’s been discussed here before. The nose looks a bit long, but I think some of that might just be the photo. (Why the long face?)
