SEMA 2010 mx-5

askut · 11-02-2010, 06:08 PM

"MX-5 Super20
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the MX-5 has been re-imagined with a darker, edgier attitude in the MX5 Super20. It’s a purposeful combination of street-tough style and motorsports-inspired attributes. This third generation vehicle acknowledges the iconic first-gen iteration with modifications such as a supercharged Cosworth engine, small diameter wheels, more substantial tire profile and wider fenders.

A hardtop has replaced the soft-top and the interior stripped down and fitted with a roll-bar lending a GT-inspired look and feel. The seats have suede seat inserts and channel stitching, providing improved grip for the driver. Orange contrast stitching highlights the sporty seat profile as well as providing a polished look throughout, coordinating with the exterior graphic treatment which plays off the black and Storm Gray exterior.

Additional modifications include a DPTune reflashed ECU, Racing Beat 304-stainless steel header and exhaust, ACT organic street clutch, MAZDASPEED coil overs, Racing Beat hollow front and rear anti-roll bars, MAZDASPEED shock tower brace, Power Slot slotted brake rotors, StopTech DOT-compliant stainless steel brake lines and street performance brake pads, SpeedSource front brake ducts, 16x9 Enkei RPF1 wheels wrapped with 245/45-R16 Toyo Proxes RA-1 R-compound tires, 20mm H&R Trak+ hubcentric bolt-on wheel spacers in the rear and 15mm Sparco hubcentric wheel spacers up front."

The one NC worth looking at. I like it and want to see more of it.... interior/engine bay especially.

first thing I noticed and my fav part for sure. So sad that 9-inch wide wheels have such miserable looking convex faces though.

capitalcrew · 11-02-2010, 07:28 PM

Wow. 16s look tiny on an NC. I've never even looked at one with wheels lol

Bob Loblaw · 11-02-2010, 07:29 PM

The other NC they built is better IMO

XDEEDUBBX · 11-02-2010, 08:09 PM

they even had to run a 20 mm spacer for the rear and a 15 mm for the fronts. Mazda USA still knows nothing about offsets..lol

AntiochOG · 11-03-2010, 05:22 AM

I want the caged Mazda2 on 6UL's

Phatmiata · 11-03-2010, 09:07 AM

Those are both bad ass NC's!! Those flares look great too, and the NA door handle is a super nice touch!!

Verwah · 11-03-2010, 09:09 AM

I haven't been this attracted to the Mazda line-up since 2002.

I feel tingley.

daftIntrovert · 11-03-2010, 09:56 AM

Now if only they sold NC tail lights just like that.. with the chrome smoked. I'd drop a g on those if they were available.

hello new desktop

daftIntrovert · 11-03-2010, 01:06 PM

I'm not gonna lie, I love the classiness of my saddle brown NC interior but the super20 interior is just so yummy. I love all the little changes they made to make it have more NA/NB feel inside.

Overall, I'm loving what Mazda did here. All of their SEMA cars are beautiful, well-executed, tasteful, etc.

Quinn · 11-03-2010, 01:22 PM

I'm really digging the interior.

Also, did Enkei always make 16x9 RPF1's?

daftIntrovert · 11-03-2010, 01:31 PM

They don't make them now, at least according to their own product literature. I've looked, as it's the size I'd like. The first page of google search results for rpf1 16x9 are all links to articles about the super20.

A typo perhaps, because they really don't look like 16x9.

Phung018 · 11-03-2010, 04:30 PM

ehhhhhhh

Fresh NB · 11-05-2010, 02:34 AM

Purty cool.

Haigog · 11-05-2010, 02:38 AM

Sell the super20 as is, and I will have one in my driveway.
Otherwise...NC...meh.
