Gray 15″ Minilite-style wheels with bright-finished lips are mounted with 195/50 BFGoodrich gForce Sport tires showing 2012 date codes. Braking is handled by power-assisted and slotted four-wheel discs with Wilwood front calipers. The chassis has been updated to utilize Mazda Miata–sourced front and rear subframes and independent suspension, and Tein adjustable coilovers are utilized. The interior features aftermarket front bucket seats and a fold-down rear bench trimmed in beige with matching door panels and green carpeting. Oak woodgrain trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels.

An aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a body-color steel dashboard that houses Miata-sourced instrumentation consisting of a 150-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 76k miles, and true chassis mileage is unknown. The 1.8-liter Mazda twin-cam inline-four has been retrofitted and is equipped with custom intake piping, an aftermarket tubular header with heat wrap, and a stainless-steel exhaust system. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission and differential that reportedly were sourced from a Miata. $44,500.00
