Our New 2012 PRHT SS Project....

[LittleRed2010]

How about a new grill to replace the plastic one from Mazda? Seems like something could be done to improve the look. My 2010 GT PRHT needs to be lowered...it rides much higher than my '99 did. I agree with the lighter wheels, too.

Goodwin already makes a spoiler for the NC. It's available in carbon fiber and fiberglass:

In addition, Mazda makes or made 3 spoilers for the car, including the Mazdaspeed one, which is 3-piece.

We don't currently make spoiler for PRHT. Had some requests to do so. May give that idea a look.

Mazda Canada sells a lip spoiler for the PRHT and there was another one avaliable at one time. Check miata.net as there was a thread related to it.

I perfer the mazdaspeed 3-peice version and I have yet to find something similar on the market for the PRHT. I would be first in line for such a product!

Here is a picture of that apparently factory choice. I would like a little more attitude in mine.

i'd like to see you turn this into the ultimate daily driver... This could be the chance to create the ultimate DD reference vehicle.

i'd imagine there are more folks that want to carve twisties up on the weekends without compromising the comfort of their daily commute than there are those that use their car as strictly autocross/track cars.


i notice that many upgrade recommendations are geared towards getting every bit of performance possible, which I tend to think serves the track/autocross crowd. for the daily driver, a focus towards upgrades that get you 95% of the performance without compromising ride comfort or 105db levels would serve a much larger audience.

after all, it's easy to take the best most expensive parts available and build an amazing car. i challenge you to build the ultimate DD and I know you can do it

I believe, or at least hope, that this is exactly Brian's plan.

I'm not sure if this is something you'd consider, but i'd love to see a front bumper cover for the NC2 that did something about the enormous grinning grill, 60% of which is blocked-off and nonfunctional.

The FIRST Mod...EXHAUST!

With a few quick flicks of the wrist off came the massive factory muffler! Had fun checking it against our factory MX5 exhaust from our original 2006 NC. Though Mazda has superseded the part numbers several times, all the exterior measurements are the same, weight still 27 pounds. Though shape of the under valance is different and more pronounced on 2009-2012, exhaust tip length is precisely the same as 2006. Installed our 22 pound (with baffles 24, sans baffles 22.4) RoadsterSport Q. I am surprised again how quiet the Q is on an otherwise stock MX5. Will likely try our RoadsterSport II tomorrow, and then the Street and then the Race. I regularly get to drive all our choices around the block on customer cars but it has been a long time since I have really lived with each of our choices on an otherwise stock MX5.....and I have never had chance to live with each of them using the PRHT.

After these experiments of living with each on an otherwise stock PRHT we will get some base dyno runs and then get the prototype RoadsterSport 'Street' header installed.....and likely try it with the new Super Q that we have been working on.
