Turn your volume up for this one. 🔊

JayEmm on Cars just dropped his review of an NC fitted with our BBR Super 225 package, and safe to say, he was blown away by the 225bhp ITB soundtrack.

His only real gripe? The chassis. We spotted the culprit right away: lowering springs paired with stock dampers. Easily our least favourite setup on the NC — under-damped, out of stroke, and constantly riding on its bump stops!

It’s classic proof that power needs the chassis to match. Pair this package with our BBR springs and Koni Sport adjustable dampers, or step up to Yellow Speed Dynamic Pro Sport coilovers, and the car becomes the composed, giant-killing B-road weapon it was meant to be.

Another Flat-Out Week! 🏎️💨

It has been non-stop around here lately, with plenty of variety coming through the doors:

ND & ND2s: In for BBR manifolds and custom maps.

NCs: In for our popular Super 200 upgrades.

MK3.5s (Watch out for this!): We've had two in this week with OEM manifold failure where the failing catalysts ended up blocking the centre section exhaust. Definitely something to keep an eye on if you drive a 3.5! Both received BBR Super 185's.

This Week’s Highlights:

Simon & Sons' Track Car: We gave this hardworking NC a new lease on life with a factory-fresh 2.5 engine, paired with BBR cams and a custom map to replace a tired, worn-out 2.0. Built for the track!

Simon’s NC Kuro (A different Simon!): This stunning Kuro received our Stage One Supercharged conversion, transforming its daily drive into something truly special.

We want to know what you think: Are you team Naturally Aspirated purity, or do you prefer the rush of Forced Induction?

What a day at the 2026 MX-5 National Rally! 🌧️🏁

A massive thank you to everyone who made the trip to the British Motor Museum yesterday and stopped by the BBR stand to say hello. It was brilliant catching up with so many familiar faces, meeting new owners, talking shop, and sharing our complete turbocharged NA–ND line-up with you all.

Huge credit to everyone who braved the typical British weather—it certainly didn't dampen the spirits or the turnout!

A very special mention and massive congratulations to Ben and Holly on their purchase of our their absolutely immaculate, original Mariner Blue BBR Turbo Mk1!

This marks their second BBR MX-5, joining their already stunning BBR-supplied Mk4 at home. What an incredible two-car garage—bookending over three decades of BBR performance. We know it’s gone to a fantastic home, and we wish you both countless happy, boosted miles behind the wheel!

A huge thank you to for doing a stellar job hosting the day, and to the for organising another fantastic event.

See you all at the next one!

A fantastic send-off build before our summer shutdown! 🏁

Gary’s pristine 28k-mile 1.8 NC—a very generous gift from his wife—just received the ultimate BBR transformation.

The Spec:

• BBR Stage 1 Supercharger Package featuring our BBR 4-1 Catted Manifold (delivering a massive +100+ BHP gain—once ambient temps drop below 40°C! ☀️🔥)
• Factory L*D retrofit to put all that extra supercharged power cleanly to the tarmac
• Yellow Speed Dynamic Pro Coilovers (our top pick at this price point) paired with our essential BBR Fast Road Geometry setup
• BBR Braided Brake Lines, EBC Yellowstuff pads, and grooved discs

A complete, balanced package that transforms the drive while keeping everyday usability. We hope this brings Gary many years of top-down smiles!

☀️ Summer Shutdown Notice:
The workshop is taking a well-earned break! We’ll be back on August 27th refreshed and ready for some serious big builds in the pipeline.

🚗💨 Another landmark BBR build hits the road!

Check out Mike's mint Launch Edition MX-5 ND RF, in with us for a complete BBR overhaul including our BBR Turbo conversion, tuned suspension, and upgraded braking package.

Mike is absolute loyalty personified—this marks his fifth BBR-tuned car! Over the years, he's built an incredible BBR garage, having previously owned:

BBR Mk1 Turbo

BBR NC Super 200

BBR NC Turbo

Launch Edition ND RF BBR Turbo

Finding his second Launch Edition RF in this pristine condition with such exceptionally low mileage is rare enough, but with full BBR power, handling, and stopping capability, it’s in a league of its own.

Huge thanks to Mike for his continued trust and passion over the years. Enjoy the boost! 🙌🏁

Apologies for the quiet spell—we've been flat out! Lots of build updates coming soon, but first a critical reminder for all NC drivers:

👉 Check your engine oil level every 2 tanks of fuel! ⛽

A customer popped by today with a worrying engine rattle. We knew the cause immediately, killed the ignition, and had to add over 2 litres of oil just to get a reading on the dipstick.

Check out the state of these bearing shells attached 😱—oil starvation acts fast! Luckily, because it was caught just in time, we’re confident we can save this engine without a full engine-out rebuild or replacement/reground crankshaft.

A 2-minute dipstick check every few fill-ups can literally save you thousands. Don't risk it—check yours today!

We start the week with yet another MX-5 owner dissatisfied with a remap carried out by a third party. Third party quotes 226BHP, yet our dyno reads 210BHP! Installation of our base map brings the power up to 215BHP and after two hours of optimisation for the owners hardware - 4-2-1 manifold and BBR Cams, a further 4BHP and optimum torque curve is achieved.

We are increasingly seeing power figures and gains quoted elsewhere with no dyno graph (just quoted figures), or highly questionable proof. NC’s on standard cams achieving over 190BHP yet making low 170’s on our own dyno, gains quoted of over 8BHP on previously BBR mapped cars only to find the actual power is less.

MX-5 owners are being taken advantage of and this is turning into a recently reoccurring theme. Whilst it’s great to see plenty of available options, ask yourself the following:

• Are the power figures being quoted actually achievable? NC’s and even ND’s have been tuned extensively globally now for over a decade, why all of a sudden are further gains magically being found?
• What experience does the company actually have of remapping? Years on your particular marque, or are they just using you and your car as a guinea pig?
• Are unrealistic dyno graphs being used showing power gains everywhere in the rev range and just a different correction factors being used?

It's always great to see our hard work being appreciated overseas, even in such difficult times!

Who doesn't love the sound of ITB's 🎶🎶🏁🏁

"Hi Neil and the entire BBR team,
I just wanted to send you all a genuine thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve just finished a long series of track days and competitions with the car, and I honestly have to say — the Miata has become everything I dreamed it would be.
The response, the character, the sound, the way the car comes alive on track… it’s truly something special.

I still haven’t had the chance to install the updated ITB linkage hardware you kindly sent me, mainly because most workshops here in Israel are currently operating in a very limited capacity due to the ongoing war situation.

But even before installing the update, I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for the time, effort, patience, tuning work, and support throughout this entire process — especially Neil. Your willingness to keep refining the setup and helping me chase the “perfect” result really means a lot.

Thank you again for creating such an incredible package and for standing behind it the way you do.

I’ve attached a few photos and a short video from my latest track day — hope you enjoy seeing the car being driven the way it deserves to be.

Warm regards,
Maxim"
