It’s often said that wheels can make or break a car, and here at BOFI Racing we couldn’t agree more with that statement. An otherwise impressive build can be let down by a poor choice of wheels – while an otherwise stock-looking MX-5 can be transformed with high-quality wheels that fit beautifully. There’s more to […]
If there’s one thing the MX-5 is famous for, it’s handling. Poised, balanced and approachable, the MX-5 is a fine handling car in all its various forms – and with a low kerb weight, 50-50 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity, it’s no wonder why. Although the MX-5 is certainly a lot of […]

Are you tired of welding up your mates’ open differentials with your Aldi Gasless MIG?

LS Swap? Been there, done that. Street Machine’s MX-5 used to be named the MX5.7, after the twin GTW3684 turbocharged 5.7 litre LS1 exploding out of its engine bay. To be fair, it was pretty epic. Back in 2017 when Street Machine kicked off the project, a tubbed MX-5 with drag radials that does 9s […]
What happens after Brexit? The United Kingdom leaves the European Union on the 31st of January, after which it enters an 11-month long transition period. The Brexit transition period means the UK will no longer be part of the EU, but it will remain a member of the single market and customs union. This is […]
GC Fabrications make a mean roll bar. However, it’s always hard to tell just how good safety parts are for your car. It’s not often that you hear about an MX-5 being rolled, and even rarer are pictures of the aftermath. With this in mind, GC Fabrications wanted to demonstrate just how strong their roll […]
Speed Academy have answered the most common question asked by anyone who is a fan of naturally-aspirated builds. If you hadn’t already guessed, it is which is better—a killer K-swap or a bonkers BP? The green NB features a cammed 223whp K24, with the swap being a bolt-in affair thanks to K-Miata’s comprehensive kit. The […]
After now running the 1.6 manifold and Garrett downpipe for the past 3 months we’re quite confident in its design, while this is still technically a pre-production piece the core of its design is now finalised and agreed. Keep in mind here that the BOFI Low Mount places the flange at the same position for […]
BOFI Racing T2 Low Mount Turbo Manifold What does it mean to ‘turbo your mx5’ or any car for that matter? Does it mean bolting a cheap unresponsive turbo to a cheaply manufactured manifold and chasing cracking and faults? Does it mean making compromises to the build of the car, like notching the frame rails, […]
The HyperMiata is extraordinary. It’s a machine so spectacular in its speed, that it has truly earned the prefix hyper—traditionally reserved for the upper echelons of unobtanium. Transformed from its humble beginnings as a 1990 Miata, every addition to the HyperMiata exists to make it faster. And it is fast—faster than almost anything else. A naturally aspirated 3.6L […]
