Karuizawa Meeting 2016 Coverage by REV9 Autosport

[Max @ REV9]

Hi everyone,

This year, I’ve attended Karuizawa Meeting (biggest Roadster/Miata/MX-5 meeting in the WORLD). This is my 3rd time to personally attend this meeting and I’m always impressed by the quality and uniqueness of the Roadsters that are exposing at the meeting. This year, we’ve beat the record of the most Roadsters at the same place (for Karuizawa) and we’ve had over 1300 cars!



Statistics of the event:

NA: 555 units (41%)

NB: 324 units (24%)

NC: 237 units (17%)

ND: 247 units (18%)

Read more about Karuizawa Meeting (Introduction) by following this link.

If you followed our Facebook page, you probably had a good preview of what's to come

I'll post on this thread every few days as I need to write the stories and process the images. :thumbs:

Enjoy!

Nice work max. That's an event on my bucket list.

First Stop : Jet Stream



I begin the coverage of demo cars from Karuizawa Meeting 2016 with Jet Stream as, in my opinion, they released the craziest demo car in the whole meeting this year. It was actually a VERY QUICK build that needed a lot of time, sweat, tears and patience. I met with the Jet Stream team in the morning at 4:00 AM and their demo car was not even close to be completed. That reminds me of all those car building shows we see at Discovery Channel, but it was in real life. What a thrill! Now, enough talk and let’s look at what they showed for Karuizawa... Read More.

Thanks Maxime

That engine bay is insane

Looks very 944-ish. I really like it, Jet Stream should do more retro/throwback bits.

Second Stop : Nakamae



Here is a post about Nakamae’s latest products shown at Karuizawa Meeting. Nakamae-san wanted to bring some ND products to the market for this year and totally delivered! Read more.

Third Stop : RS Arrive



Arrive is one very innovative shop making awesome parts for NA, NB, NC and recently for ND Miatas. They really make awesome products that look neat (OEM-like) and are very functional. I have to apologize for the bad pictures, but the place was PACKED. Read more.

Fourth Stop : Paddock Style



We are not supposed to show Paddock Style Demo Cars as "Karuizawa Shop Cars", because they were not in the official area. However, the owner of the shop kindly found us and asked us to go check it out, so we figured out it was a nice gesture and wanted to encourage him. They had their NB and ND demo cars. Read more.

Third Stop : RS Arrive

I'm interested to learn more about the Water/Oil/Air/Volt gauge you showed here, looks quite cool, and could be very handy.

Fifth Stop : Garage Vary



Garage Vary really has stepped up their game in the previous year, especially with their ND (2016+) Roadster parts. They built a really nice car for Tokyo Auto Salon 2016, and it did not change by much for Karuizawa meeting, but, now, most of the parts are production ready! Read more.

Thanks for the write ups.

Very keen to get to Japan one day and this would be the perfect excuse to go.

Sixth Stop : RS Factory Stage



RS Factory Stage was one of the most liked ND at Karuizawa Meeting last year, due to their very cool graphics as well as 18” wheels fitment. This year, they came back with a car that had much more of a racing look and nicer aerodynamics. Read more.

Seventh Stop : RS Products

RS Products has build its name for a long time. It’s considered as the classiest parts available for the MX-5 Miatas and will bring a classic look to any car’s interior. This year, they brought some parts to enhance the ND Roadster’s interior! Read more.
