Hi guys,

I spent my youth tearing apart 90s hot hatches on my parents' driveway. Then, after 10 years of sensible cars I've finally got myself a double garage and want another project. I've just started reading about the tunability of the MX5 NC, and want to learn more before I dive in.

I've seen the info on BBR GTI, and would love to drop £5k on one of their kits, but I'm sure there's a more economical way to go about this; can anyone recommend a good forum (preferably UK) or facebook group for me to gen up on? There seem to be loads, but most are American or not about more than just polishing the thing.

Thanks.

While I've got your attention, do all NCs have an LSD?

I believe the 2.0 litre has one as standard... I have the ND.

Glad to hear that.

I find it brilliant that the NC came as standard with an LSD, while many a BMW longs for one.

If you’re thinking of spending £5k, a Corten-Miller supercharger is worth considering. It’s warrrantied for track use, something BBR Gti don’t offer on their products.
Bear in mind, BBR Gti’s prices can be a bit unclear about whether they include VAT and fitting.
