1990 Mazda MX-5 'Turbo'
The Build
Overview
Built from the block out with forged connecting rods and upgraded bearings, this NA MX-5 offers a generous 280hp at the wheels. The motor was believed to have been built approximately 15k miles ago and is wearing all of the proper supporting hardware to keep it running cool and reliable, and it has recently seen significant work to keep it running strong. Given the weight-to-power ratio and all of the modifications completed, we imagine this MX-5 exhilarating to drive on the fun bits of tarmac we like to spend our time on. Trades considered.
