Geaux Moto<\/a> built this Mazda Miata NC at their company in Hammond, Louisiana. They swapped the factory motor for a 2.5 L MZR<\/a> inline-four. It sits on AWR mounts and features Brain Crower Stage 2 camshafts, Skunk 2 header, and Goodwin 2.5-inch exhaust. The drivetrain uses an automatic transmission and factory limited-slip differential. Geaux Moto upgraded the Miata’s handling with SPL control arms, Progress Tech sway bars, Whiteline endlinks, and Feal 30-way coilovers. They improved braking with a set of Wilwood six-piston calipers in front cooled by custom brake ducting. The body features a custom hood, Nardo Grey paint, tinted hardtop, and LED taillights. Inside the wells are Enkei PF01 17×9-inch tires wearing Falken 660s 245 tires. <\/p>\n
