Here at BOFI Racing, we’re always looking to innovate. With our sump guard and engine lift kit for Mazda MX-5 NA and NB, we have taken the time to design, test and develop the best fit and forget solution on the market.
Made from 5mm steel, this guard will protect your sump from even the nastiest of landing lights and other hazards on the road or track.
The innovative size allows for ease of fitment and to ensure this really is a fit and forget solution. The sump guard features a properly placed and sized drain hole – allowing you to keep up with those regular service intervals, without the need to unbolt your sump guard.
Additionally, the size of the sump guard allows compatibility with every 89-05 MX5, Eunos Roadster or Miata, even with factory or aftermarket subframe bracing which some sump guards can interfere with.
All our sump guards are countersunk and are provided with countersunk bolts and nyloc nuts – for that perfect flat fitment that isn’t coming apart anytime soon.
