Matt brings his freshly painted BorgWarner EFR 6258 powered Nardo Grey MX-5 Miata to the shop for a build breakdown. His car features a full BOFI Racing turbo setup including the low mount manifold, downpipe and prototype 3-inch exhaust. An M-Factory 3.3 final drive gives a top speed of over 175 MPH, making it a […]
Rebuilding brake calipers is often a daunting task. Ask anyone who has done it in the past and you’ll probably be meant with groans and sighs accompanied by tales of torturous dust boot installations. In this video, Leigh explains step-by-step how to rebuild rear brake calipers on the 1989 to 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata, with […]
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. However, the semi-gloss marked easily so the acrylic […]
James talks us through every single modification on his raucous 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Sporting our first ever built engine and first set of 640cc injectors, many BOFI Racing products were developed on this glorious machine. Eating excessive amounts of launch control and flat shift for breakfast, there is nothing that our EFR 6258 powered […]
Smashed all out of shape, the frame rails on Mary the MX-5 Miata are no longer doing their job of strengthening the chassis. With the underside of the MX-5 fully rust-proofed, now is the perfect time to install SkidNation Frame Rails over the top of the originals.
Leigh ropes James in to explain why we have chosen to protect Mary the MX-5 Miata with Buzzweld products. After coating the inside of the sills, Leigh’s hands, and much of the floor with Cavity Paint and Cavity Wax, the body is liberally coated with Chassis In One. Whilst waiting for everything to dry all […]
With lockdown still in full swing, Leigh decides it’s time to rustproof his Mazda MX-5 Miata. All the suspension is removed in preparation for poly bushing and the wire wheel is brought out to strip off the flaking underseal. It doesn’t take long to find holes in what was thought to be a rust-free car. […]
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 […]
After being abandoned all winter, Leigh and James drag the Miata out of the bushes. Probing it with screwdrivers and hammers, they quickly find out how it compares to the Mazda MX-5s they usually see. Once they’re satisfied all the rust has been strewn across the floor, they take it outside for a celebratory burnout […]
What are Plate Type Differentials, and How Do They Work? The Basics of a Differential. Nearly every car on the road today will be using some sort of differential. In short, on a two-wheel-drive car, a differential allows one wheel to move at a different speed to the other while being fixed to the […]
