Build Breakdown | Jonny’s slammed NB drift car

It’s hard to believe, but this NB was Jonny’s first car. Not first MX-5, first car - full stop. Over the last four years, he’s transformed it from a stock 1.6 5-speed car into the VVT swapped, 6-speed drift car it is today. Virtually every part of the car has been altered or improved in some way, from the engine and gearbox through to the suspension, aero and even the paint.

It takes a serious amount of effort and commitment to totally transform a car like that in four years, but that’s not all Jonny’s been up to with this MX-5. He’s been working hard to level up his driving too, attending nine drift days in the last year alone. Nine! That’s dedication.

This car is proof that an MX-5 makes the perfect base for a seat time drift car. Not only are they super robust when they’re looked after, they can be styled in practically any way you can imagine. From the mismatched Advan and AVS wheel combo to the Garage Vary-style aero and custom drag wing, Jonny’s car is totally unique. And in a sport that’s as much about style as it is about speed and angle, that sense of individuality matters a lot.

Build Breakdown | Nick’s NC track car

If Mazda ever made a ‘Clubsport’ or ‘RS’ version of the NC MX-5, it probably would have looked and performed a little bit like this. Nick has managed to lighten his 2.0-litre PRHT car by approximately 50 kg and boost its power output by around 30 hp, making it feel noticeably more lively and agile.

Lurking behind those now-discontinued (and quite hard to come by) Traklite alloys are MeisterR Zeta Race coilovers and an overhauled brake setup. The calipers are still stock, but the car now has HEL braided lines, PBS pads (ProRace at the front, ProTrack at the rear) and fresh Brembo discs.

Then there’s the interior, which is where most of the weight has been lost. The sound system is gone, the lower dash has been trimmed down and the door cards have been replaced with featherweight alternatives. Tillett carbon bucket seats drop the weight further, and hold Nick and his passenger firmly in place on the track.

There are so many different ways to build a track car, but we love what Nick has done here. He’s built a well-balanced car that would run rings around a stock example, but remains reliable and street-friendly. What more could you ask for?

Spec Highlights:
Ramair intake
Decat manifold
Custom 2.5” stainless manifold back exhaust system
200 cell sports cat
Remapped to 186 bhp and 156ft/lbs

Build Breakdown | Ashley’s mad Mk1: a 506 bhp missile

One of the things we love about the Mk1 MX-5 is how sprightly it feels, even at stock power. With less than a tonne of weight to haul around, a well-driven, naturally aspirated example is tough to hang with on a tight, twisty backroad.

Now, imagine for a moment what it would be like to drive one with more than FOUR TIMES its stock power output. It still weighs roughly a tonne. It’s got proper suspension and brakes. But instead of ~115 bhp, it makes north of 500.

That’s exactly what Ashley has built. Over the last decade or so, he’s transformed a stock, Daisy-shod 1.6 into a complete animal. This is a car that can still embarrass supercars on a twisty backroad - but it'll show them up at the drag strip too.

Ashley has poured his heart, soul (and wallet) into this build, doing much of the work himself and investing in top quality parts. The 1.8-litre VVT engine, now dry-sumped, has been fitted with Wossner 84mm forged pistons, Manley forged connecting rods, billet main caps and a host of other upgrades, including custom cams and a ported head.

1065cc injectors, a Skunk2 intake manifold and a custom exhaust manifold help the Garrett G25-660 work as efficiently as possible, while an ECUMaster Black ECU keeps everything in check. Meanwhile, a Getrag 260 gearbox (commonly found in BMW E30s and E34s), takes the place of the stock 5-speed.

This has to be one of the wildest Mk1 MX-5s on the road, and just shows what these cars (and engines) are really capable of.

Spec Highlights:
Wossner 84mm pistons
Manley conrods
Billet main caps
Athena head gasket
Apex head studs
Ported head with custom cams
Dual springs and titanium retainers
Custom, homemade stainless tubular manifold
Garrett G25-660 turbocharger
Skunk2 intake manifold with spacer
Injector Dynamics ID1050-XDS injectors
ECUMaster EMU-Black ECU
KMiata G260 gearbox conversion kit
3.6 Torsen differential
Subaru 4-pot front calipers

Build Breakdown | Connor’s stylish NB

Connor bought this NB as a completely stock, 1.6-powered example just three years ago. By his own admission, he had “no knowledge of cars, modifying cars or anything JDM” at the time. But here sits his low, aggressive, engine-swapped NB drift car. Quite a transformation in only three years.

“I originally bought it because it was a cheap, lightweight two-seater sports car, so I thought it would be fun,” he says. But soon afterwards, he began to realise that he’d bought the perfect blank canvas - the ideal starting point for his dream build. Once he realised how easy it was to upgrade and alter the way his MX-5 looked and drove, he was hooked.

“I started going to meets and getting into the scene a lot more, making loads of great friends and learning so much more about cars and how to work on them,” he recalls. “After driving it for a while, I got used to the power of the 1.6 engine it came with and wanted to swap 1.8 VVT engine into it. So I took the car to and they swapped the VVT engine in for me in a day!”

Connor had a major setback last year when the car was rear-ended while he was stopped at a red light - but it didn’t deter him from completing the build. “I spent the first six months of last year rebuilding it and completely levelling it up, only finishing it a month or two ago.”

All of this is proof that you don’t need any prior knowledge or experience to start modifying your MX-5 and making it your own. Ask around, do your research and put in the work, and anything is possible.

Spec Highlights:
1.8 VVT swap
K&N induction kit
Revved steering wheel with NRG quick release
Sparco Sprint/Option bucket seats
Chrome half cage
Full Gundam Aero bodykit with roof and boot spoiler
Revved livery

Build Breakdown | Jackson’s NC: From vision to reality

You know you’re dealing with a serious car when its full spec list doesn’t even fit within Instagram’s character count limit. That’s the case with Jackson’s NC which, over the last 11 years, he’s transformed from a stock Sport model to the fully reimagined, NOPRO-kitted, 2.5-swapped example you see here. Spectacular, isn’t it?

“The whole story really begins after the car was sideswiped in 2018,” he recalls. “Insurance didn’t pay enough to totally fix the car, so I ordered a set of overfenders - and then my first set of ‘real’ wheels to fit the new body size. I started to appreciate what reputable parts brands were doing, and realised that it was well worth spending some sweat equity and cash to transform my Miata into something different.”

And that’s exactly what he did. Practically everything on this car has been modified or improved in some way, and Jackson has done the vast majority of the work himself in his garage. The result is a car that’s every bit as comfortable competing in autocross or carving through the Tail of the Dragon as it is parked up at a car show. It’s one of those builds that ticks every box.

He’s not done yet though. Next up? A turbo kit for the already-potent 2.5-litre Ford Duratec engine.

Spec Highlights:
Desmond Regamaster EVO 1 (17x8 +35/17x9 +38)

Build Breakdown | Emmanuelle’s showstopping NA

“My MX-5 story began back in 2003, when my mum owned a red Mk1,” says Emmanuelle. “She always said one of her regrets was selling that car. I searched for it for years, hoping I could bring it back home, but that hope eventually dimmed. After a while, I finally decided I would go out and find my own MX-5 - a ‘small project’.”

Yeah. That ‘small project’ didn’t stay small for long, did it? As you can tell, Emmanuelle has well and truly gone to town on this car, transforming it from a virtually stock example into the turbocharged, widebodied, liveried show car you see here. It has to be one of the most distinctive and spectacular Mk1s in the UK.

The Tomica livery harks back to the Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 racer from the mid ’80s - and the NOPRO wing and aggressive widebody amplify that race-ready look. This car has the bite to match its bark too, courtesy of a 250WHP turbocharged 1.8 engine with antilag and launch control.

So far, Emmanuelle has mainly been using the car to scoop up silverware at shows across the UK, but plans to get it out on track this year to find out what it’s really capable of. We, for one, can’t wait to see this thing driven in anger.

M'z Labo Toyota Coil-on-Plug (COP) conversion kits are now available for the NA and NB 1.6, plus 1.8-litre non-VVT NA and NB engines! Included in each kit are the coils themselves, a plug and play wiring harness and a mounting plate, making it easy to achieve a neat and tidy look.

Why switch to Toyota coils? Compared to the stock Mazda setup, they provide a stronger, more consistent spark, eliminating the risk of spark blowout on turbocharged, supercharged and high-end N/A builds.
