Thank you guys all for putting up with the wait for new episodes on this. Moving forward I'm going to try and prioritize more of the fun builds like these but also I think taking slightly longer to upload a video gave me the freedom to play around with this and reach a point I was really happy with. I may experiment with taking slightly longer to publish my videos but I don't want to leave all you waiting up to a month so if you'd like regular updates and behind the scenes on all of my builds please head over to my Patreon and consider joining. www.patreon.com/TofuAutoWorks I do detailed breakdowns and explanaitions but it's also just a bit more fun and personal since I get to actually talk about what I'm doing in my posts.
Yo the rx7 front looks cool. You should cut into the side of it tho so it matches with the rest of the bodykit. Idk if that’s impossible but just a suggestion 😂
Someone tell SuperfastMatt to send this guy a "Certified Good Enough" sticker. Holy shit, an angle grinder and a hammer to make the end plates and they came out lookin that good haha
Folding table - check, basic power tools - check, wood scraps/clamps - check. Proof you don’t need expensive tools and an expensive shop. THIS is garage built. Can’t wait to see the final product!
This is pretty much the exact reason I got into fiberglass. It is so incredibly cheap and easy to get started and you can make your forms out of anything.
Already got my Hot Wheels copy of your car sitting on the desk. I was completely blown away when I saw it at the local Woolworths last week - congratulations on an amazing milestone! I kinda love that it's already obsolete with that new wing too, seems fitting for this car and cyberpunk in general.
“This car is so stupid. I love it” perfectly encapsules the passion we have for cars and design. Thanks for sharing your builds, your tenacity, and passion with us all. Cheers from near Aspen, CO, US.
Wait until I announce the next one, I've been in the planning stages for months but we've finally started working on it, hoping to have it announce early next year.
Honestly I love that your whole channel is basically the literal concept of built not bought, I was like oh I don't have to go to a big company just to get my own custom body panels made or custom wings made just a little bit of research and some development planning and bang got a badass car. It's also literal videos like this that remind me why if I had the money to purchase the materials and the car my dad my brother and I could make some crazy awesome things But also with a project like this I would have modified the wings to also work like blinkers by cutting out the very back end and wiring up some LEDs with a piece of frosted plexiglass for slightly better visibility and not also damaging the wind function over the wing because I mean as cool as that solid plexiglass tail light bar is on the back end it's not the most functional in my eyes cuz I mean you literally just need to wire up two different colored LED strips on each one have the same wiring going to the brake pedal and then another wire connecting to blinker system sure you might have to step up the power output or protection for the fuse but in my eyes it's better than nothing.
That backup camera, lmao. I honestly think it was much better in the original iteration, but I respect the hustle to make it even more ridiculous. That is afterall the point of this build.
You inspired me on my car. I have very little money, no garage ( apartment ) and only a few basic tools, so my results are poor. It has been fun none the less. Your Miata just keeps getting better with time ! I'm not sure where in NZ you are, but my very first thoughts are wondering if you work at Weta making movie props. You certainly have the skill ! 👍
I don't like the rear wing personally. It overpowers the whole vehicle but it's your vehicle and you have to like it, not me. Fantastic craftsmanship by the way.
A dream to win the Hotwheels tour. Congrats and duly deserved. Such a mad build. I look forward to finding one on the pegs in the new year! Gonna have to get two.. one to keep locked up and the other to mod, maybe update with the new wing, prehaps.
I saw your car as a Hotwheels on Instagram the other day, it was the first time I had even known your car was even in the competition! So It was so cool to see a hotwheel version, I’m totally getting it when it comes out !
This is, by far, the sickest Miata build out there! I've been on this journey with you from the beginning until now, and you make the whole thing look so easy and achievable. You've motivated me many times over to push on with my build, and inspired me to lean more into custom work. Keep doing what you're doing! Much love from Hawaii
Dude, congrats on the hotwheels. That is the coolest shyte ever! Hotwheels doesnt make an NB at all that isnt some weird offroad thingy. Stellar work as always my dude!
I really like how the spoiler interfaces with the shark fin man. Really sick job, and it matches the vibe of the front fenders perfectly. You killed it man
Big complement again for your work! I just love the style you are going for and the craftmanship that goes into this car. Makes it a real art project with my favourite Cyberpunk style!! So insipiring!
For small filling, or less to remove. Try the spot glazing putty from Bondo. You can thin it with acetone too. Used on 3d prints for filling layer lines, and works on fiberglass for filling weave patterns…
Wow that's a lot of work just watching. Can't imagine how much work it takes to actually do all that. Congrats on the hotwheels. Hope to get my hands on one.
51:10 That is so freaking cool! I'm not a Hot Wheels collector, but I think I might have to go find one of these. That is so sick! Turbo congratulations!
so glad you won the legends tour, very epic car (my fav car lol) and insane build!! the tailight bar that you did looks amazing, and the f1 wing looks sicckkkk! :D
The wing looks sooo good and with the boxy frontfenders and rx7 frontend it looks aggressive❤ The only thing I'd consider changing are the round rear overfender, I think boxy would fit more... Love your Artwork!!!
I feel the front end needs an update with a touch of equally as ridiculous splitter/canard styling to tie it with this rear update. Love how insane this wing looks. AMAZING.
That looks epic I love it. I’ve just ordered 2 of the Hot Wheels (1 to stay in its packaging and 1 to take out). I love the mighty wang. I’m totally obsessed with that middle bracket that fits over the shark fin I would hang that on my wall.
Nice work buddy. On the back this car, to be more complete, needs a flat surface to close the old position of the old taillights and also a small rear bumper with a huge diffuser and the rear should be complete. Un saluto da ITALIA 😉
I will definitely be spending some time hunting down that hot wheels car, I adore your work! If this car is ever "finished" I would love a model that is more up to date, already seeing how far you've come really struck me!
Love the wing! The car is giving me more and more of an LMP1/H design. That last bit with the rearview camera was a nice touch, too. 😂 Oh and congrats on winning the Hot Wheels 2025 contest! I'll have to look around Wal-Marts to see if I can pick one up!
52:20 I bought one because when I saw it in the HW vending machine; something in the back of my mind were saying you saw this somewhere...but where? 😂😂😂
Awesome work as always mate. Really loving the look and direction you are going with the build. Was just thinking about the Hot Wheels the other day, and here it is 😂 can't wait to get my hands on one 😁 keep up the awesome work as always 👏

We need that on a t-shirt.

Wing's insane

OH MY GOD! That wing in the thumbnail blew me away. I love your vision!

With out Tofu and Chris Fix, I wouldn’t have a clue how to dream big or repair anything 😊

⭐"this car is so stupid. I love it" ⭐Everything you do mate, We love it.👍
Knowing that your car is going to be a Hot Wheel is crazy. That right there is milestone.
Thanks for sharing your talent on TH-cam. Both the projects and the quality of your videos is top notch.
This is the build that I am most excited to see you complete
Wait until I announce the next one, I've been in the planning stages for months but we've finally started working on it, hoping to have it announce early next year.
@@TofuAutoWorks a new project?! I'm still waiting impatiently to see the Stagea finished!
Hi Batman 😊
Honestly I love that your whole channel is basically the literal concept of built not bought, I was like oh I don't have to go to a big company just to get my own custom body panels made or custom wings made just a little bit of research and some development planning and bang got a badass car.
It's also literal videos like this that remind me why if I had the money to purchase the materials and the car my dad my brother and I could make some crazy awesome things
But also with a project like this I would have modified the wings to also work like blinkers by cutting out the very back end and wiring up some LEDs with a piece of frosted plexiglass for slightly better visibility and not also damaging the wind function over the wing because I mean as cool as that solid plexiglass tail light bar is on the back end it's not the most functional in my eyes cuz I mean you literally just need to wire up two different colored LED strips on each one have the same wiring going to the brake pedal and then another wire connecting to blinker system sure you might have to step up the power output or protection for the fuse but in my eyes it's better than nothing.

That Folding Table surely needs to get employee of the year.
The whole time i was thinking that the wing looks like its obstructing the reversing camera, glad you added the view at the end! 🤣
You inspired me on my car. I have very little money, no garage ( apartment ) and only a few basic tools, so my results are poor.
It has been fun none the less.
Your Miata just keeps getting better with time !
I'm not sure where in NZ you are, but my very first thoughts are wondering if you work at Weta making movie props.
You certainly have the skill ! 👍
Thanks!
Thank you dude!
This is awesome. a perfect example of a "DIY Channel" without all that annoying extra stuff... Cheers and love from Lisbon, Portugal.
2025 hot wheel nice job
One of my favourite things is that you didn't stop inovating with it just because you won such an incredible prize Awesome stuff.
I don't like the rear wing personally. It overpowers the whole vehicle but it's your vehicle and you have to like it, not me. Fantastic craftsmanship by the way.
This is so not your zone dude...
@thomasgrant4348 it is. Taste might differ but we all share the passion of making something of your own. Regardless if others like it or not
@@dumyjobbyI mean yh 'taste' it's just how the'i don't like it' came out fair enough though
@@thomasgrant4348stop being rude
Your workmanship is really second to none. I sincerely admire what you do. That mx-5 is beautiful.
Never ending project. You are a real artist. Congrats man...
A dream to win the Hotwheels tour. Congrats and duly deserved. Such a mad build. I look forward to finding one on the pegs in the new year! Gonna have to get two.. one to keep locked up and the other to mod, maybe update with the new wing, prehaps.
love how the bend lines of the side supports pick up the sharp top edges of the front over fenders, continuing that line across the car. Really slick
This miata is incredible. Honestly just needs a diffuser and you've got a perfect time attack beast
Tofu is an amazing artist, very impressed
My favorite build returns!! Love the wing! It's exactly the right amount of utterly ridiculous!!
Jemand der sein eigenes Auto als Hot Wheels Modell besitzt....Mehr kann ein Mann nicht erreichen!!! Eine Legende ist entstanden!!!👍☺
Please keep creating masterpieces like this! Longtime fan of your work. This thing needs to be at SEMA 2025!
Man seeing that concept sketch got me excited. I cant wait to see this project come together more in the future!
Can't wait to see the car completely finished
I saw your car as a Hotwheels on Instagram the other day, it was the first time I had even known your car was even in the competition! So It was so cool to see a hotwheel version, I’m totally getting it when it comes out !
With the middle of the top wing angle it down to the center of the lower wing , definitely liking the look of this rendition
Amazing how much this car has evolved over the years. really enjoyable to watch. and grads on the hotwheels win.

Dude, congrats on the hotwheels. That is the coolest shyte ever! Hotwheels doesnt make an NB at all that isnt some weird offroad thingy. Stellar work as always my dude!
The wing looks like it was always a part of the car 😎👌
Love this project
love what your doing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really like how the spoiler interfaces with the shark fin man. Really sick job, and it matches the vibe of the front fenders perfectly. You killed it man
i love this channel, a hotwheels legend
Big complement again for your work! I just love the style you are going for and the craftmanship that goes into this car. Makes it a real art project with my favourite Cyberpunk style!!
So insipiring!
Kinda weird but I like this as background sounds while I’m working too. Kind of therapeutic. Love the build mate 🙌👌💪
How am I only seeing this now? This is awesome!
The little nugget never fails to put a smile on my dial. Great stuff brother, look forward to your next project!🤙 🇦🇺 ✌️
Nice victory 2023. Congratulations. Awesome job. Well done.
Stoked to find the cyberpunk miata in hotwheels form today! Such a epic build to watch👍Excited to make a custom version 😎
Didnt know this build was still going. I found your hotwheel in walmart and came back to your channel immediately. Good stuff!
congratulations on the hot wheels win, i love watching the work you do.
Congratulatioins on the hot wheels award, Next up shuld be the rear fenders, make them square like the front ones, and thats the icing on the cake !
Was wondering when the hot wheel was releasing and bam. Super amazing the amount of detail. Congrats!!
Amazing craftsmanship, from design to execution. Someone should mod this into cyberpunk 2077, it would fit right in.
The spoiler is going to look super nice. A 10/10 job. By the way, a brutal detail on the part of Hot Wheels, it looks spectacular on that display 😍😍👌🏼
For small filling, or less to remove. Try the spot glazing putty from Bondo. You can thin it with acetone too. Used on 3d prints for filling layer lines, and works on fiberglass for filling weave patterns…
Wow that's a lot of work just watching. Can't imagine how much work it takes to actually do all that. Congrats on the hotwheels. Hope to get my hands on one.
Congratulations! Love a personal build...so creative & skillful
This video is really good, the car is getting really cool
I always enjoy watching your videos I wish you all the best in 2025
Came for the cool car build, stayed for the relaxing nature sounds
“1 of 1 no lowballs”
51:10 That is so freaking cool! I'm not a Hot Wheels collector, but I think I might have to go find one of these. That is so sick! Turbo congratulations!
Well done dude, small reward for a huge project!
So damn awesome to look at!
so glad you won the legends tour, very epic car (my fav car lol) and insane build!! the tailight bar that you did looks amazing, and the f1 wing looks sicckkkk! :D
Full carbon Miata will be a cool project when the other projects are done🔥
The wing looks sooo good and with the boxy frontfenders and rx7 frontend it looks aggressive❤
The only thing I'd consider changing are the round rear overfender, I think boxy would fit more...
Love your Artwork!!!
This is one of my favorite builds, and big inspiration to build my own. I'm about to start a new job, and I'm SO hoping it works out, so I can.
Looking killer so far. Nice Hot Wheels award too!!!
1:51 man, you should really consider putting that on the back of a shirt as merch, would buy ngl
Yes, new content! Thanks for posting!
*dayummmmm love the wing! But the reverse camera tho* 😂😂😂
I feel the front end needs an update with a touch of equally as ridiculous splitter/canard styling to tie it with this rear update.
Love how insane this wing looks. AMAZING.
lol
Can’t wait to add that bad boy to the collection!!!!
Win!!! Congratulations, having a hot wheel car, before the car is done!
That looks epic I love it. I’ve just ordered 2 of the Hot Wheels (1 to stay in its packaging and 1 to take out). I love the mighty wang. I’m totally obsessed with that middle bracket that fits over the shark fin I would hang that on my wall.

A fantastic result and well deserved 👍
I just recently re-loaded up Cyberpunk 2077 to play (using a few essential mods :P) and this new vid of yours came at the perfect time for me!
Love the wing! The car is giving me more and more of an LMP1/H design. That last bit with the rearview camera was a nice touch, too. 😂
Oh and congrats on winning the Hot Wheels 2025 contest! I'll have to look around Wal-Marts to see if I can pick one up!
Wow Man, congratulations! And Thank You for the Inspiration!!!!
Congrats !! love to see you winning.
This looks SOOO GOOD!
Yoo, congratulations on winning the Hot Wheels contest! That's super cool.
The spoiler turned out awesome as well.
Congratulations on the hotwheel cars can't wait to find one
Brooooo the hotwheel finally came out! been waiting so long for it, i hope scalpers don't ruin it.
New car for my hot wheels collection 💚🇲🇫 bonjour j'adore tes vidéos 👌
Very cool special delivery! I was scared it was going to be a segway for AG1 Greens!
This must be the sickest Cyberpunk car build on YT
Well...until the Quattro is completed. But this is the best unique CP build, for sure!
dude its insane how surgical u're with a grinder
Amazing work as always! Ordered the Hot wheels Miata of course!!!
OH YEAH BABY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!
It's getting too amazing! 👏🏻😎👏🏻
52:20 I bought one because when I saw it in the HW vending machine; something in the back of my mind were saying you saw this somewhere...but where? 😂😂😂
coming along nicely
Awesome work as always mate. Really loving the look and direction you are going with the build. Was just thinking about the Hot Wheels the other day, and here it is 😂 can't wait to get my hands on one 😁 keep up the awesome work as always 👏
I’ve never seen a man give an angle grinder so much love 😂 fr tho man love the build
Really cool, looks as very high quality work
