I did a K20 replica with 6 speed manual and 205 tires and it went slightly over budget with no other changes so 40k is kind of tight with no techpool
Lets keep a generous budget this time.

The template car comes with Rear Wheelbase Offset at -2. I’m assuming we keep this?
a few nudges to make it look right is ok.

Preview: KNR MX-56
The MX-56 is a new upcoming release from KuroNeko Racing (aka KNR, the motorsports and tuning arm of the Kiyume automotive company), based upon the ever-popular Mazda MX-5 NA. Information is scant, however KuroNeko has released teaser footage of what appears to be the finished car, with a note saying that full details will be published shortly.

MX5 Python by DKC Design House
Dinner King Customs brings you the Python, a one-of-a-kind restomodded MX-5 Miata built for your leisure.
Having installed a single turbo, DKC meticulously tuned the original engine so it can produce 250hp and 242.5 ft-lbs of torque.
The addition of active aero on the back end helps keep the Python planted, and you can feel the breeze with the soft top down.
New double wishbone front and rear suspension has also been added to make your ride smooth as silk.
And it can be all yours for 37,400 AMU (including penalties)

Exclusive: KNR MX-56 Revealed!
As previously covered, KuroNeko Racing (aka KNR) have been working on a new ‘model’ that is actually a complete overhaul of the Mazda MX-5 (NA), and further details and photographs have just been released. Designated the KNR MX-56, this vehicle sees the aging MX-5 NA platform stripped back to bare metal, reinforced and rebuilt to be a focused racing machine that is still street-legal*.
(* Depending on exact jurisdictions, some parts may need to be replaced or omitted).
The old 4-cylinder engine is removed, and in its place is an in-house retuned version of the Nissan’s aluminium, DOHC-32 valve, 5.6L V8 VK56DE powerplant featuring a functional ram-air system! The press-release from KNR is a little vague on exact power figures, however, an anonymous insider has told us that the power target was somewhere in the vicinity of 300kW.
KNR have indicated that a full roll-cage is able to be installed as a nil-cost option, which provides an extra layer of safety, as well as is bound to stiffen up the chassis and provide much better track performance.
A completely redone interior has allowed a real focus on the driver and minimises excess weight wherever possible. Although the original MX-5 was a lightweight car, the addition of the v8 engine, roll-cage, and modern safety equipment meant that KNR had to go searching for ways to reduce weight - cabin luxuries being one of them.
With that being said, the driver can still enjoy a reasonably well featured HUD system, along with climate control and a functional (albeit fairly basic these days) stereo system. If even this seems like too much of a sacrifice, as fitting its focused nature, the climate control and stereo are able to be deleted from your build order at nil-cost.
When pushed for pricing, the KNR reps were a bit less forthcoming with information, blaming a range of modification and cost factors that make it difficult to say. However, we managed to eventually wear away their resistance and apparently it should be available from AD$40,000 in total.

THE MAZDA MX-5 “BLUE FALCON”
Yes, convertibles are nice and all of that. But if you want to be a bit different, and own something that nobody else has, a Miata shooting brake is the way to go, right? Also, love for the Miata probably means love for the 90s and Japan. The colour matched 3 spoke wheels, as well as the mono wiper are both nods to the 90s tuner culture, while styling and livery is inspired by the futuristic hovercraft “Blue Falcon” from the Super NES game “F-Zero”, now that’s a fair dose of nostalgia, right?
Under the shell, though, not much is left of the 90s. A 2.3 litre Ford Ecoboost engine provides power that even makes it feel like the Blue Falcon - or how about a 0-100 time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 280 km/h while still keeping the fuel economy at a sane 6 litres per 100 km? Of course, we have uprated things like the brakes and suspension, that now copes with the power more than well.
