This past month we've seen a whole slew of automobiles dropped to insane lowness. This Miata is no different. This car is like the crispy cornered pieces of brownies that only a select few actually enjoy. And just like any good brownie recipe, the best ones are always the most simple.

Let's be honest here: this car is as Mazda OEM stock as possible. The engine still retains the stock 1.6L. The exterior additions to this car has been a Mazda OEM front R-Package lip, rear R-package lip, and a OEM hardtop painted glittery silver. Really, the only things not stock is the now rare RSR GTII ExMag exhaust system, Jackson Racing Header and the Boss Frog roll bar.

Like I said, simple.

The car's stance has been brought to you by the letter T --for Tein Flex. Despite the lack of travel at this ride height, the ride quality is superb --buttery smooth really.

Here's the insane rear negative camber.

That camber is to fit a set of Diamond Racing 15x10 -20 wheels with 225/45 tires all around.

Here's the front fitment....

...and the rear fitment. I always maintain this saying about living with a slammed car: "If you're not rubbing, you're not ricing." This car definitely rubs (but only on hard cornering), so there is plenty of that cooked white grain going on here.

This is the owner, Kyle, a man of a tall stature, getting out is this hot wheel sized car. Every morning it is a question of 'ship in a bottle' --the ship always wins.

Like the cripsy corners brownies; this car is hard, simple, yet extremely flavorful and delicious. Many people may like the middle chewy section of brownies, or brownies with peanuts or walnuts, or even a with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. But me? Those crispy corner pieces all day long, please.

Now where are my brownies? Those sounded good.... Oh, and she's gorgeous too. Loving the wheel choice. She makes mine look really tall... (I'm self-conscious about how tall my Miata is, that's normal, isn't it?)

haha love that comparison with brownies, so true. Really nice simple built there, just a bit too much camber for me, but the rest is perfect!

Thank you for hearing my cries for a slammed NA Miata, Linhbergh. This has to be one of the tastiest Miata's you guys have ever posted. I love those wheels. And as always, you're a genius with that camera. Mad props.

sunnydaysandblueskys said:

mmmmmmmmmmmmm..... oh sorry. lemme wipe the drool off my keyboard. as soon as i get some money im buying a miata and doing it just like that! not quite the crazy wide wheels or heavy neg camber but def the lowness and simplicity. i might even copy the diamond racing wheels. that was a perfect end to a waaaay to short month.   DESKTOPSSSSSSSSSS PLEASEEEEEE

oh and how tall is "kyle"? i wanna get an idea of how much of a pretzel ill be getting out lol

pholife said:

on second thought....he needs to contact infinitwheels.com to get some sick wheels...aka SSR wheels .....so he can become duma approved...ie mi deng lips!

miata is still rad!

hechtspeed said:

Man, if this car is not inspiring I don't know what is.  Gonna make the value of used Miata's go up.  15x10?  Are you serious!  That is serious wheel width.  Love hardtops too.  This is automotive perfection.

Oscar said:

@Jpreston, hellaflush is a relatively new term for low cars with awesome wheel fitment.  Euro guys have been doing it for decades as have the Japanese guys in their shakotan and bosozoku cars.  Just like hot rodding I don't think it will ever go away.
