With the underside of Leigh’s supercharged MX-5 Miata fully restored, it was clear the top needed the same amount of love. Mary had been previously sprayed with matte pink graffiti paint, we thought it was appropriate to keep the pink paint but finish it in semi-gloss instead.

Will DESTROYS His MX-5 Miata Engine After One Month Turbocharged! So We Forge It In A Day…
Will turns up to the shop the morning after adding launch control to his NB1 MX-5 Miata with a poorly engine. As it is his daily driver, we pull the motor straight away whilst James builds up a spare VVT bottom end. The BP4W head is transplanted onto the VVT block, thrown back into the […]
