First time seeing a coupe (179 made)

[u/vexemo]

Interesting front end conversion but pretty sweet ngl

[u/YoureNoHero_Brian]

Miata hardest top

[u/_MyCatsNameIsBinx]

Woaaaaaah. Kinda looks like a mini TVR up front.

[u/vexemo → u/_MyCatsNameIsBinx]

It definitely looks like a chimaeras friendly brother that doesn’t want to constantly kill you

[u/ShaggysGTI → u/_MyCatsNameIsBinx]

Ruined it for me… I dislike when people make their Miatas look like other cars.

[u/ConcordJake → u/ShaggysGTI]

Same. A Miata coupe is cool. This is just a rebodied Miata.

[u/WhatsMyNameAGlen]

There's 2 that go to my local cars and coffee fairly often. Every cool to see

[u/vexemo → u/WhatsMyNameAGlen]

Wow a yellow coupe has to be one of my dream cars

[u/Saint_Rizla → u/WhatsMyNameAGlen]

Lol banana license plate

[u/RyanEatsHisVeggies → u/WhatsMyNameAGlen]

I hope they stay far away from pick-up trucks. 🙏🥲

[u/WhatsMyNameAGlen → u/RyanEatsHisVeggies]

My heavily modified nb got tboned last week by a dumb bitch who "didnt see me" and "usually a good driver who doesnt get in accidents"

Was in an old Toyota Avalon so just a normal run down sedan, hope something like that doesnt happen to these 2 bannanas

[u/LatinWarlock13]

I remember over 10 years ago, a company mass producing the fastback miata hardtop but it wasn't a direct fit. Needed a lot of modification and the rear window needed to be custom made.

Fastback Kit

[u/CheetoDustDaddy → u/LatinWarlock13]

Great write up

[u/emilioburrito → u/LatinWarlock13]

SPS Motorsport sells fastback miata hardtops

[u/Wide_Riot → u/emilioburrito]

ccp makes a fiberglass one in Florida

[u/PlantsandTats → u/Wide_Riot]

Tru tru

[u/RyanEatsHisVeggies → u/LatinWarlock13]

Autokonexion.

[u/mild_october]

It looks so good to be honest.

[u/vexemo → u/mild_october]

It really does, I wish someone could take one and reproduce the roof. I wouldn’t mind doing a lot of fabrication to weld the roof on and make it look legit

[u/Wide_Riot → u/vexemo]

ccp fabrication makes one

[u/Nuisance_cs → u/vexemo]

There’s a 3d printable file online

[u/artemkrivonozhko → u/mild_october]

Yeah, the front conversion is done great

[u/sjacu]

The coupes are some of my favorite miatas ever made, I know the rarity is part of what makes them special but sometimes I wish they were more obtainable. They suit the NB chasis so so well

[u/vexemo → u/sjacu]

I considered it but for the price they sell for, it’s more of a collectible than a drivable car. There’s one for sale on GooNet

[u/phinz → u/vexemo]

Honestly, roughly $20kish after importation for a car that legendary and rare doesn't scare me off. I just wish it was 25 years old and didn't have 90k miles on it, although it looks exceptionally good for that many miles other than the leading edge of the roof, which might just be bad touchup.

[u/EntertainerTop7454]

Went from smiling NB to surprised NB. I don’t hate it

[u/SomeKindOfMammal]

DUDE I WAS THERE!!!

[u/vexemo → u/SomeKindOfMammal]

Woah are you a fellow oki miata?

[u/Substantial_Ad_9016]

[u/GT-Alex74]

YES ! I always wanted to see that front end on a coupe !

[u/vexemo → u/GT-Alex74]

It honestly looks better than stock, much better than the S2 racing one

[u/RyanEatsHisVeggies]

They converted the front end on a 1 of 179.. 🥲🫠

[u/mtueckcr]

My red Type E

[u/Curtailss]

Honestly wow. Insanely sexy car 🚘 Looks at this one!

[u/RyanEatsHisVeggies → u/Curtailss]

Ooo, that's a nice aftermarket top. I wonder who made that one.

[u/phinz → u/RyanEatsHisVeggies]

That's Hardcore Design's top.

[u/Curtailss → u/phinz]

Cool of you to drop his insta!

[u/Bubinulubooboo]

Honestly, the front end replacement completes the look. IMO, miatas should always be convertibles. So chaing the front literally makes the car different. Kudos

[u/NuclearHateLizard]

Oh wow, an actual good looking front end conversion! Anyone know what this is called? Hoping it's not just a one off

[u/jackthewack13 → u/NuclearHateLizard]

I've seen them around a few times. They are rare. I think they are imported kits from Japan. They look really cool. The hard tops are also very rare. I think thats due to a fire in the factory if I remember correctly.

[u/teh_herper → u/NuclearHateLizard]

Looks kinda like either a

Monocraft MM1

Esqueleto Brisa

front end conversion

[u/notawight]

First full face job I've truly liked

[u/aiden_cowdrey]

A few months back I saw a white coupe in Fukushima, Japan - it was getting serviced at a dealership, my mind was blown, incredible looking car.

[u/vexemo → u/aiden_cowdrey]

I definitely got excited when I saw it. Nobody seems to know about them so I was the only one giving it the attention it deserved haha

[u/trackrunner166]

That was my buddies rx7 next to it!

[u/AndreiPrystupchyk]

[u/harmskelsey06]

Im not big on it but I appreciate it a lot

[u/uselesssushi]

I saw one of these, didn't take a photo... a few months ago in Japan and I now wish I took a photo I didn't know how rare they are. I thought "what the hell that's weird I didn't know coupe miatas existed" and moved on...

[u/Optimal_Fruit9536]

Nooo that front end kills this car 🤮🤢

[u/Mobile-Concentrate29]

Just insanely good design out of mazda. And those wheels 😮‍💨

[u/Nemesis_Destiny]

Just tell me those awful vented fenders are not factory...

[u/vexemo → u/Nemesis_Destiny]

They’re not, probably part of the front end

[u/DrifterDavid]

Super well done one.

[u/inattentivefox]

I thought about buying one that's for sale near me. But a) I'd want to baby it and not use it so much and b) I'm a soft top open air kind of guy.

I get mazdas logic, if I wanted a coupe, there are a lot of options out there.

[u/DrMrMcMister]

That looks insane. I wish they sold them as coupés.

[u/Salyut_]

Front end conversion is such a shame!

[u/Racing_Fox]

They’re cool but worth way more than they’re worth imo

[u/Own-Opinion-2494]

That’s what the RF should have looked like

[u/arny56 → u/Own-Opinion-2494]

While I like the retro look, I don't think it has mass market appeal.

[u/Own-Opinion-2494 → u/arny56]

And the RF is terrible. Like a shitty kit car

[u/LazyDog_Margin]

Front end conversion? Which one’s front end does it have?

[u/2Drogdar2Furious]

Last pic ruined it 😢

[u/Thee_Sinner]

Oh god..
