Switching things up on your ride can be quite refreshing to get a new look out of the car. Longtime follower/photographer friend Cristian Laureano aka STXCKS shows us this with Tommy Babiarz aka TRMNL5‘s 2016 Ceramic Metallic MX-5 Miata Club from Orlando, Florida.
You might of previously seen Tommy’s turbocharged pandem-widebody MX-5 Miata on Super Street: http://www.superstreetonline.com/features/turbocharged-pandem-widebody-2016-mazda-mx-5-club. Almost looks like a different car now without the livery/stickers, wing, front canards, and wheels.
Tommy now switched it up since the Super Street feature to 16″ Volk Racing TE37Vs. 16×9 with 205/45 and 16×10 225/45 Toyo R888R.
Also, currently with a 1 of 1 Pandem duckbill on the rear trunk. While, Tommy still has the chassis GT wing to switch to whenever he wants.
The signature on the dashboard is from Miura-san, who is the force behind Pandem and Rocket Bunny. The other signature is from Kawato-san the CEO of Total Car Produce Magic (TCP Magic).
Tommy has a future plan with this to eventually have the motor swapped for rotary power.
