Top 5 Exotic Cars That Are ACTUALLY MIATAS!

[@Tommy-B.]

If the lights don’t change, it still looks like a Miata.

[@habibullahmazlan172]

Yeah, i like Monza design but the head light still look like Miata lol

[@AtariBoogie]

If they only add body kits its still a miata

[@rahatakhan]

The Himiko is still in production and you can order one anytime. They have a branch in Europe for orders for the market there. The 10 cars you mentioned were a limited edition version of the regular Himiko with special badging and interiors. The regular version can still be ordered.

[@LandenDenham]

"wait, its all miata?" "Always has been"

[@ktvcars]

That Aston kit is so sublte but SO GOOD, another eye opening video, learned a lot and enjoyed it all! Keep it up!

[@Azulevo]

Nice to see the exocet as an honorable mention. I’d bet there are more exocet conversions than any other on the list.

[@somenygaard]

Congratulations you succeeded in getting every possible angle of the Craftech car without letting us get a clear view of the car’s overall design.

[@Geerod]

I like the blackwell sp1 it's basically a original design like k1 attack or ff 818

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

I built a Simpson Design Italia (not the Italia II ) back in 2003, which had a Ferrari look front and alfa romeo back end, a kind of blend of styles. Jim even made me a proto-type ferrari egg-crate grill he was working on. Was great fun to build and turned heads.

[@Gian-ni]

Have you ever thought about converting a Miata into a Ferrari? Let me know if it's a project you'd consider undertaking, whether you want to keep the car or sell it...

[@redtailpunk]

I just picked up a '95 na italia conversion! picked it up a bit on a whim as I was looking for an na and found it in my local market for the same price as any other decent example. any tips/tricks to offer? (especially in regard to the body) Love the little thing so far

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

is it already fitted to the Miata?

[@redtailpunk]

yes but theres some repainting and wheel arch work that needs attention, so I might pull the front section off. either way, I've got a lot to learn about Simpsons and miatas in general, so I just ask incase theres anything you wish you knew before fitting the body/working on the car@@TaralgaBushAdventure

[@redtailpunk]

also if you did you yours back in 03, i think we'll have the same hood setup. did yours open conventionally or hinge from the front ?

[@Xayuap]

Miata Is Always The Answer

[@darraghnoctor8581]

Dam

[@Dirks65]

The Tipo 184 is a great looking kit you failed to mention.

[@C.C.Sinclaire]

i think a really clean build xenex like the one at 0:52 might be the most go karti kinda thing you can have for that price before you give up on body panels

[@stevecoleman9198]

I really like the look of the SPR-1.

[@Graves-81_69]

These kits have come a long way since the old Pontiac Fiero kits back in the day. These are actually tasteful

[@iteerrex8166]

To be honest I never looked at Miata’s, but looks like it has good potential.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

The Aston kit doesn't really look like an Aston it just looks cool and the Saggaris is also awesome. They still look like Miatas but just cool Miatas. You don't have to tell anybody it's anything but a Miata. Its cool.

[@bluesummers5051]

I wish they made a rear add on for the Aston Martin conversion. Those lights still scream Miata

[@bryangillihan1345]

The Blackwell kit gets my vote

[@EhPlusSimRacing]

I like the Mitsuoka Rock Star.

[@Bullwinkle056]

I recall that BMW sent a cease and desist order to the company that made M3 panels for Miatas.

[@corbinbell820]

Oh, how I'd LOVE to see one of the Simpsons Design miatas in person.

[@redtailpunk]

exactly what I thought when I saw one pop up locally when I was looking for an na, so I had to check it out ... and tbh it's a sweet little thing! was the same price as any other decent miata in my area so i snagged it. maybe a lil too quick on the draw but at the end of the day it's a miata so it's dead easy to work on (so far lol) and without any stupid ferrari badging or unnecessary chrome it really owns what it is: a miata with a little something extra. I happen to be into this bit of extra and while I see someone butchering it quite quickly at home, it can be a rad little car that's a classic on top and underneath now (just 25ish years design apart lol)

[@miguelmarques7331]

Hi ! Any bodykits for Audi TT mk1 or BMW Z4 ?? Congrats on the work !!

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

Look up the BTR Z4

[@miguelmarques7331]

@@ImARealHumanPerson I ❤️ Pandem & LibertyWalk, PriorDesign too, but this BTR Edition Z4 rocks! Thnks bro

[@KindredAutomotive]

Miata Speedster… For twice the price of a Miata you can have a Miata. PS. You’ll also need to have a Miata to start with 😂😂

[@HigginsHobbies]

100,000jpn yen today is only 680usd. Great deal!

[@j4r1on]

mmmm miata

[@netmatrix75]

I am surprised why no one made a Disco Volante kit for the ND. Clearly the original design is based of a disco Volante.

[@fstap]

This is the car equivalent of everything is cake

[@paradoxworkshop4659]

The cake is a lie.

[@danknado97]

guys the blackwell spr1 uses vw headlights on the rear

[@nirniro1]

Wow loved this video thanks

Mitsuoka Rockster)) because it looks like modern Corvette)) and i love it)

I have long been a fan of Simpson Designs andreally lovehis Aston Martin inspired coupe.

[@GunnarsGames]

The Marlboro one looks the best and wasn’t even mentioned.

[@QuickshiftCars]

It's the MX Speedster shown at 0:26

[@rycho2009]

Mx5 rx7 still in my heart ❤

[@mrman9561]

Which one 8s more suitable for a mazda miata Nc model what age group is suitable for the kits

[@kpal2946]

Some of them look awful but some of them look AMAZING. For all out fun I'd go with the Exocet.

[@EvilJ069]

I'd love to have the ND RF with Mazda's new turbo I6

[@l8erzmonkey]

Alot of them are hilarious

[@G972P]

the speedster one are sooo beatiful but its impossible to live in a city hot like hell with no roof top and a/c

Pit Crew Racing for me.

Yes, the maserati mc12

[@darrinbunston5932]

What inexpensive car is close to a Lamborghini countach as far as size and are there still kits available

[@EvilJ069]

The ONLY one that was a Miata is Gen 1... The rest are just MX-5

[@skullyferguson1331]

Rock star

[@hebrewontheisland2]

I have a 2007 ND. I like the (CRSFTTECH Astin Martin kit. But i went to google and could not even find that company please help. I know it said it was made for the ND version. But I am planning to buy another Mazada in 2024. Not a new one,but maybe the 2015 or 16 if I can find one here in Dominican Republic. Please help. But if they make one for the NC, i would fant !!!

[@leschroder7773]

So you're telling me i can make a TVR that wont take my life if i go over 30 miles?

[@advhawk6455]

For the same price, I would buy a clean first or second gen Porsche Boxster.

[@Pickchore]

Vale GT1 kit for the Boxster is insane.

[@Gentleman...Driver]

I dont think its a bright idea to buy a 1st gen Boxster. At least until you are calculating that you want to make a restoration project and replace everything anyway. They were really, really, really cheap - like under 5,000 EUR for some time. Nobody wanted them, and the guys that bought them beated the shit out of them. They were not loved. Cars that stayed in one hand are very rare - and every single one had issues. Like many of them had their engines replaced at some point. And, well... part prices? Its a Porsche! And the build quality was really bad for todays standards. Its plastic fantastic. You know,... Mid 1990s plastic. They are also heavier then the Miatas. But then again they have that cool rear mid engine layout (while the Miata has a front mid engine layout). Its a good basis to start a new project car on it. Although you might need a bigger budget by now.

[@OndraMike]

if we have the Mitsuoka on the list...shouldn't be the Fiat 124 Spider an honorable mention?

[@JonathanLittle001]

The jim simpson aston itillia 3 gtz is gorgeous... makes me wonder if he could pull off a ferrari gt250

[@2JZLS]

Top 3 nicest MX5’s: 1) Xenex 2) PISTONZERO 3) Exocet 😭💀⚰️

[@PhilipCoetsee]

Is your name Chip Douglas by any chance?

[@enigmaficate]

No one would think a speedster is a ferrari lmfaooo

[@nolimitrc1]

The first 1 is charging you 10k to remove parts from your miata lnfao

[@WallaceMorrison]

Are you aware that anytime you put on a kit that charges you money to buy it, you're taking off parts to put that kit on?

[@nolimitrc1]

Yea but not complete body parts for it to look the same just roofless and no engine modes thats crazy anyone can do that

[@nacerskats]

I hate the Miata with all my life but the Xanax body kid looks fire asf

[@1993ka24det]

I own the exocet. I would get something with a roof

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

None of them are as beautiful as a Fiero Testarossa

Craftsmanship at its finest.

A coach-build should be original and should relate to the brand of the donor.

[@ZafiraSteve]

The miata name was only for the gen 1 mx5. Any other generation mx5 is an mx5. 😅

[@GF-mf7ml]

NA mx5 is classic cars. Please use any other version.

[@derekpierkowski7641]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gazj]

its pronounced TVR SIRB ER US (Cerberus)

[@sebastiannix5033]

The Xenex is adorable! But the Mitsuoka?! It's proportions are totally off. An absolutely ridiculous attempt to resemble European classics - like all the cars Mitsuoka makes.

[@defaultgenerico7749]

Miata owners be like: it’s a sPOrtS CAr in the end, it’s still a Miata

[@rodolfoo3015]

how the hell is bauer just an honorable mencion? Is the only one that trully looks amazing and has any good design. All the others look like rep cars.

[@QuickshiftCars]

I did a full video on them a few years ago, so didn't want to spend too much time repeating myself. It's definitely a sick option though!

[@mechanicalmanny494]

All that money and time invested, just buy the real thing it will even hold its value.
