    Default FS: Supercharged NB MX5 - Huge Spec

    Hey,

    The time has come to unfortunately put my NB up for sale. The car has had a considerable amount of time, money and resources put into it to enhance it into one of the best specced NB in Australia. Over $42,000 spent on it.

    My write up thread is here:


    Here's all the stuff that has been upgraded on the car:

    Jackson Racing M45 supercharger
    Jackson Racing Water/Air intercooler
    MX5+ Twin Hoop Roll bar
    Torsen LSD
    6 speed gearbox conversion
    Smaller supercharger nose pulley providing approximately 7psi of boost
    Oil pressure, boost pressure and oil temp gauges fitted to center console
    X-Force extractors
    Simota air filter
    Magnacore leads and Iridium spark plugs
    Mazdaspeed Carbon Fibre gearshift knob
    Stainless steel vent ring and dash surround kit
    Mazda chrome sill protectors and fuel lid cover
    Complete bare metal respray March 2005 with new softop roof and windscreen fitted
    2001 front bar fitted with foglights and factory wiring
    Alarm with auto closing windows
    Cooling Pro alloy radiator w/ducting
    MX-5 Plus coolant reroute kit, silicone hose with internal anti-kink spring
    Braided brake lines
    Nopro overflow bottle relocation kit
    Flyin' Miata full butterfly brace kit
    Adaptronic E420C standalone ECU with plug in loom (car loom not butchered), 3 bar MAP sensor and intake temp sensor to eliminate MAF
    440cc (x4) Denso fuel injectors
    JVC iPod compatible headunit
    2.5" exhaust with steel cat, AR25 resonator and Magnaflow rear muffler (inconspicuous yet decent flow)
    MX-5 Plus braided clutch line
    MX-5 Plus front numberplate bracket
    Trackdog Racing pulley tensioner
    Lightened flywheel and uprated clutch

    Engine overhaul done Dec 2009:

    Low mileage (40k) NB8B bottom end (10:1 compression ratio)
    Rebuilt head with new valve stem seals, valve reseat & pressure test
    ARP head studs
    Rebuilt M45 supercharger nose with new oil & clean
    Head/water pump/intake manifold/cam cover gaskets
    Both accessory belts
    New water pump
    New timing belt
    Replaced all coolant hoses (inc head, intake manifold etc) with new genuine Mazda hoses
    Replaced water to air IC hosing
    New engine mounts
    New shifter boots
    New clutch slave
    Front main seal
    Spark plugs
    PCV valve
    Radiator cap
    New throttle cable from B2600 ute
    T-bolt clamps for radiator hose
    New fluids throughout

    Over $1400 of dyno time by Matt Spry at PITS

    Supercharger kit fully engineered for QLD and NSW.

    In the past few months I have upgraded to the following:
    - Meister R dual perch coilovers
    - Whiteline 24mm front sway bar
    - Konig Flatout forged wheels (5.6kg per wheel)
    - Lugshack Black spline tuner wheel nuts
    - Kumho KU36 (these have only 1000k's on them)
    - Full wheel alignment from Bruce at Leda Suspension
    - Mazdaspeed Sport seat
    - Supercharger cooling system upgraded (including a Bosch Ford Mustang Cobra intercooler water pump)
    - MK3 aerial and manual aerial base conversion
    - Clear side reflectors and indicators
    - Clear rear brake light
    - Upgraded gearknob
    - New cam sensor
    - Alternator replaced with a low k replacement

    The car is in fantastic condition overall and needs for nothing. Bodywork is excellent and paint is great apart from the usual few stone chips here and there.

    The engine is in brilliant condition too. It doesn't use, leak, or burn a drop of oil.

    I also had a look at the brake pads (Red Stuff) last week and they looked a bit low so I replaced them with QFM A1RM's. (Absolutely great pads) There was actually quite a bit left on the old pads when I took them off so I will include them in the sale if someone would like a less aggressive pad.

    The car originally came with NB8B wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres with plenty of rubber on them. I will include these in the sale of the car. I will also include the original NB driver seat should the buyer want to put it back to original.

    I have also given the car an oil and filter change 100 kilometers ago with Castrol Titanium fully synthetic 5W-40 so all fresh and ready to go.

    I have also just put another 6 months of Rego on the car.

    Roadworthy will be supplied for any interested buyer.

    Overall, the car is sure to impress anyone looking for a quick, tight, well specced NB that can be daily driven and is also trackday ready.

    Looking for $17,995 ono.

    Thanks for looking.
