Picked it up from a great guy who seems to be a Miata fanatic.

Doesn't look like a PORSCHE !!!!!! Put that one on hold. The Porsche and the NSX were considered but in the end, I have a few other toys I want to buy as well. |

Sweet! What a great toy to add to the stable. I hope you really enjoy it. My brother picked up an older Miata ('92?) a few years ago and he still loves it.  |

Well done MdX5. All that turn on a dime handling combined with the extra hp from the supercharger should make for many spirited adventures.  |

Very nice - I like the early ones much better than the later Miatas. |

Car's from Edmonton. Owner is part of the Miata club and the car appears to be maintained to a tee. From what I know, the mods are:
Jackson Racing supercharger
KYB adjustable shocks
FM springs
stainless steel brake cables
Hard Dog Deuce roll bar
FM boost gauge
ACT clutch
Bipes controller
I'm sure I am missing something....but that's the stuff I remember.

Looks good. Great setup and likely similar to where I'll start if I ever get back in a Miata. Time for an intercooler/water injection and a pulley. 8 psi here you come ... Check and see if the swaybars have been upgraded. Given the shocks and springs that would make sense. If yellow/gold they are JR, if Red they are FM or RB. Can't remember who's bars are blue. Also check out under car bracing. A front and rear subframe brace would help stiffen the car up a fair bit. RB front and FM/Cannon rear bracing is the best. www.eunos.ca will be your friend ... |
