  • TikTok creator Tyler Atkin, known on that platform as @ttptng, has been modifying his 1998 Mazda MX-5 Miata with Wii components.

  • His original video showing how he replaced his steering wheel with the plastic Wii remote steering wheel has eclipsed three million views.

  • As you can probably imagine, despite the laughs, he doesn't recommend the driving experience.

Ever hear someone refer to the Miata as a go-kart? What about a Mario Kart? This guy has. As Motor Trend first reported, TikTok user Tyler Atkin decided to replace the steering wheel on his 1998 Miata with the small white-plastic steering wheel provided for the Nintendo Wii.

The initial video shows Atkin removing his Nardi Torino steering wheel, drilling holes through the Wii controller, and mounting it in the car. Viewer comments quickly poured in for Atkin, requesting new and fun additional modifications. Requests included replacing the shift knob with a Nintendo Wii nunchuck controller (Atkin obliged). He continued by changing his e-brake handle to that of a Wii baseball bat.
