Mazda MX-5 NC Sport PRHT - 2.5L Engine Swap | 3,300 Copper Red | 6-Speed | LSD | 173 bhp / 179 lb-ft | BBR Tuned Sadly selling this car after 13 years of ownership as I'm moving abroad. This has been the most reliable thing in my life and a true joy to drive. The 2.5L swap transforms the car with genuine midrange punch. This would make an excellent daily driver just as much as it would be a great track-day project. THE SPEC - Power Retractable Hard Top (works perfectly) - Factory Sport: 6-speed + LSD - JDM 2.5L MZR (L5-VE) engine, ~55k miles (installed at 32k chassis miles) - BBR GTi remap (2023) - 173 bhp / 179 lb-ft dyno-proven - Chassis: ~181k miles - Eibach 30mm springs (OEM included) - K&N panel filter (OEM included) - Clear indicators + yellow fogs - MOT: April 2026 RECENT MAINTENANCE (2024-25) - New Brembo discs all round - Fresh Roddisons front pads, EBC Ultimax rears - DOT4 brake fluid refresh - Oil & filter service - Both front lower wishbones replaced - Multiple suspension arms renewed over ownership - Rear sill welding CONDITION Good: All electrics work (heated seats, windows, stereo etc). Michelin PS5 tyres, rears good. Interior very clean (bar one scuff to piano black panel), passenger seat almost immaculate. PRHT operates flawlessly. Engine pulls strongly through entire rev range. Honest disclosure: Front tyres near limit. Slight rear right caliper binding. Odometer display intermittent (common NC issueneeds cluster/ECU). Some rear bushes due. Cosmetic age appropriate for mileage: paint marks, arch bubbling, minor boot surface rust. Driver headlight slightly cloudy. Scuff to right side of rear bumper. A/C never regassed. DOCUMENTATION Part service history - serviced annually by myself (qualified automotive engineer & mechanic) I have parts invoices/receipts, BBR dyno sheet & invoice, engine swap documentation, manuals. ***NOTE - V5 shows 1999cc - this should be updated **INCLUDES** Genuine Mazda fitted car cover, 1L bottle of engine oil and Demon Tweaks de-icer. WHY THIS ONE Sorted mechanically with fresh brakes/fluids. The young 2.5L has loads of life left and transforms the driving experience, with plenty of potential to upgrade. Proven reliable over 13 years. Practical ride height whilst transforming the handling from stock. Perfect daily driver or excellent platform for track development. 3,300 ono. Test drives with insurance proof; otherwise I'll drive. Bank transfer only
