If you havent noticed lately, weve been adding
a lot of ND parts to our web shop. Since the worldwide launch of the vehicle, we knew it would be our next shop (demo) car.
In May, I went to Japan to be one of the first to test the production model (it was 1.5L) for a road test and I was so amazed that once I came back to America, I placed an order at my local Mazda dealership, without even knowing the price of the car. Thats how much I liked it.
I first ordered a 2016 Black ND Base Model (GX) with manual transmission. Then, I felt like I needed some change (from always having Black Shop Cars) and ordered a 2016 Ceramic Metallic Base Model (GX). Long story short, I was supposed to receive it in late July/early August, but it delayed A LOT. During the wait, I changed for a 2016 Ceramic Metallic ND Sport Model (GS) because I wanted to have the navigation, black leather with red stitching accents, leather steering wheel and, most importantly, the LSD. It also came with a Bilstein Suspension and Front Strut Bar, but those will be upgraded anyways. So, here is the car the day Ive got it.
It was one of the happiest day of my life my very first brand new car:
(Sorry for the dark picture, but my car was delivered at 7:00 PM)Now here are some pictures at day light. I absolutely dont regret going with Ceramic Metallic, its such a beautiful and unique color. Everyone tells me how great it looks during the day as well as night or when its raining color always is changing depending on lighting.

What's included in the GS model?
(Touchscreen Infotainment, Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel & Red Stitching Accents) 
(Bilstein Suspension & Sport Springs)
(Mazda Noise Enhancer (pipe coming from the intake) & OEM Front Strut Bar)This shows pretty much what is the base of my project. I think its worth getting the GS over GX model simply because of all the leather accents, infotainment & LSD. The upgrades might just bring the cost to the same and youd still be missing leather accents.
The Project REV9 ClubmanAs with many folks, I dont live anywhere nearby a race track. I dont plan on building this car for the track, but mainly as a better version of what Mazda created. I am aiming for ~200 hp at the engine and lighter overall car than OEM. The project is to build a nice gentleman (classy) Roadster with many details that will make it better than the factory edition.
Car would still be able to do track days and perform, but thats not the main purpose. Its my pride and I want the best possible look without compromising quality over quantity.
Definition of Clubman :
One definition of "Clubman" is that of an amateur enthusiast, someone willing to partake in his sport without necessarily being a winner or serious contender, for the love of the sport. The founder of the Olympic Games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin said: "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part: the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well."
