AFC R-gruppe style miata mods

AFC, I've seen your thread on "clubroadster" about building an R-gruppe style miata.
R-gruppe style MX-5 - ClubRoadster.net

I like where you're going with it.

I tried to register over there, but I'm still waiting for the mods to activate my registration, almost a week later.

Here's a mod that you need. It's a center console delete where you end up with just carpet aft of the shifter. I think you could probably stop the console before the shifter too if you were so inclined.

Originally, when "Gene-m" built this, he didn't have the console or armrest portion at the back. He just had a small f/g bump for the trunk and fuel lid release levers. I guess at some point he decided he missed the arm rest and place to stick stuff so he added that back, but you can see the custom forward portion of the console that he added.


Here's a view so you can imagine it without the armrest.


Just some other random photos that I've found.

This guy also has "R" style door panels.


This unfortunately, is sort of a fake. It looks like a giant piece that goes over the center tunnel that has carpet, but I do like the look if you could accomplish it by taking stuff off rather than adding stuff.


another view. I like the retro-theme this guy has
Inside the Blue Potato


This looks like the real thing
