The Mazda MX-5 has everything going for it: it is stylish, agile, comfortable, and costs a mere €35,000 in Europe for the RF (automatic hardtop) version with two sport packages already included. A touch of polish here and there, and you get a supercar. This is how Pandem rocketbunny tra-kyoto must have reasoned when it tackled the model.
The car left the Japanese tuner’s garage equipped with a rather extreme-looking widebody kit consisting of grotesquely flared bolt-on fenders, voluminous side skirts, a massive front spoiler with canards, a rear diffuser to match, and a rear wing whose sheer enormity defies common sense.
The kit alone looks hardcore enough, but no JDM tuning would be complete without air suspension and a new wheel set. The latter comes from a Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition and looks downright awesome with the extreme negative camber.
Wrapping up the list of mods are a roll bar and a bulky quad-pipe exhaust system. The latter bit, while fully in line with the other upgrades, actually looks kind of misplaced when you remember that the Mazda MX-5 Roadster comes powered by a meager RF 2.0 Skyactiv-G four-cylinder engine with 184 hp (137 kW) at the crank.
