profile-foto-gert-van-der-stappenMy name is Gert Van der Stappen 35 years of age, married and 2 children.

It all started a few years ago when i got my first car. A Mazda 323F BG. Before i knew it i was addicted to styling my car. Especially making custom parts.

After 8 years, it was time for something new. My dad had just bought a Mazda MX-5 MK 2.5 / NB FL, and after taking it for a weekend drive to the Ardene, i was hooked! December 2009 i took the plunge, and bought a MX-5 MK 2.5 / NB FL from Germany. I picked it up and imported it myself. The new project had began! A project more based on performance. A circuit car on a budget (although i went way over that 🙂 )

Because my first born was coming i decided to sell the supercharged miata. To ease the pain i bought a Audi S3 1.8 Turbo. Did not change to much to it. expect putting some plastidip on it. Sadly i ran into some problems with it so decided to trade it in.

Next project was a Saab 93 1.8 turbo. very nice drive. This also got some plastidip on it. because it was so much fun i decided to start www.dipcoatings.nl. After a year i needed a bigger car because of my second new born

My current car is a volvo V50 2.4 petrol. of course it got a new color with some HaloEFX. it also got some entertainment upgrades and bigger wheels.

But it is time for a new project. A project on the side that might take years. Base will be a Mazda miata 1.8 NA, which will become a SPR1 kit car! of course it will also get a performance upgrade with a turbo or Supercharger. Big project that will last me a few years to fully finish, and can be followed here!

Simplystance.com (previous superchargedmiata.net), is a website / blog about my projects, the SPR1 en the mx5miata. The latest progress on my car, manuals and the coolest roadsters on the net! If you love roadsters, this is your site!
