samdiego Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 As popular as the are here, I hope they offer a left hand drive dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) The picture at the end of Jonathan's opening post suggests a wrong hand drive dash will be included . I also note the female driver figure which will add to the misconception that this is a girl's car - as the owner of a 1:1 MX5, this is most annoying!

Joe Handley Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Let me add, I've seen more female Mustang GT owners than I have female Miata owners........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Jonathan, you are correct, sir. I also overlooked my typo. I've had a white '94 for about 7 years. I've seen a few of the new ones here, I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an NA version, it's not fast, but I never saw a girl going sideways in one at 6000 rpm in second gear. Ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put in my preorder at Hobby Search on August 25th. And that was after waiting to make sure it was the ND Miata and not an earlier version.

khier Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 There is not hardtop included. Anyone knows if the real car comes with a hardtop option? Also a soft top is AFAK is not included. All this with a limited choice of body colours.... I wish there is a justification to buy more than one kit, but apparently there is not.

The Global Cup racer has a huge roll cage so it doesn't require a top. People have found RHT anchors under a couple narrow plastic panels between the door and trunk lid where they've hidden them. So far soft-top only, and I believe there is no uptop in the kit. It's a kit of the 1st year ND MX5, obviously as time goes by there will be more color and roof options. Whether that means Tamiya does any updates, or we rely on the aftermarket, is TBD. But as a complete Miata fanatic, I have 2 Tamiya kits on order and a ton of ideas. I've driven a trio of ND's at an event put on by Mazda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
