In China’s tuning community, the Mazda MX-5 has long been celebrated for its lightweight rear-wheel-drive platform and pure driving character. This purple NC-generation MX-5, which made its appearance at the APAxpo Foshan Auto Parts & Tuning Expo, takes that celebrated foundation and elevates it through a systematic and comprehensive build program. From widebody exterior work to chassis reinforcement, from cockpit fitment to exhaust layout — every detail is brand-supported and verifiable, making this a build that stands up to scrutiny from any angle.

Exterior & Aerodynamics: Widebody Kit + Front/Rear Lips + Wings
The full widebody kit forms the visual backbone of this build, dramatically expanding the wheel arch coverage and creating space for a wider track and more aggressive camber angles. The NC1-spec front bumper and headlights preserve the most iconic front-end proportions of the NC generation, while a carbon fiber front lip adds both visual aggression and a functional airflow management element. At the rear, an RX7-style trunk-mounted wing makes a bold statement with its substantial size and downforce profile. A carbon fiber rear lip and GT taillights complete the rear end with layered visual depth. The entire exterior has been finished with premium imported paint and protected with a BOP paint protection film, delivering a deep, saturated finish that holds up under the scrutiny of exhibition lighting.

Chassis & Braking: TEIN Coilovers + W 6-Piston Calipers + US Triple Gauge + Nissan Full Chassis Bracing
Underpinning the visual transformation is a chassis package built for real-world performance. TEIN coilover suspension provides adjustable ride height and damping, balancing daily drivability with the body control required for spirited driving. The W 6-piston brake calipers deliver a meaningful upgrade in stopping power and heat dissipation, working in sync with the wider track enabled by the widebody conversion. A full set of Nissan-spec chassis bracing rods stiffens the entire underbody structure, reducing flex and sharpening steering response with a more direct, communicative feel. A US-made triple gauge cluster monitors coolant temperature, oil pressure, and boost in real time, providing reliable data reference for both extended touring and track sessions. For rolling stock, the build uses Rays×Mazda collaboration wheels paired with Yokohama tires — a combination that speaks for itself in terms of pedigree and performance.
Cockpit: Bride Seat Base + Nissan Roll Cage + Side-Exit Exhaust
Inside the cockpit, the racing intent is immediate and unmistakable. Bride seat bases are fitted to provide a lower, more centered seating position with the lateral support required for dynamic driving. A Nissan roll cage adds passive safety protection while further reinforcing the body’s torsional rigidity. The exhaust system features a side-exit layout, improving exhaust gas scavenging efficiency and giving the rear end a unique, purposeful visual element.
▲ Cockpit detail: custom steering wheel with purple “GHOSTCREW” embroidery and carbon fiber spokes, Nasspeed instrument pod, triple gauge cluster, and a purple gear shift knob — every interior element tied to a single aesthetic theme.
