Mazda MX-5 Mk2 (2000) - Forged Engine - Turbo-Ready - Track / Project Car Reluctant sale of my February 2000 Mazda MX-5 Mk2, originally built as a future turbo / track car. Due to a change in circumstances it's no longer viable for me to keep, and I'd much rather see it go to an enthusiast who understands what it is and can finish the journey. This is not a standard MX-5 it's a heavily modified, well-thought-out build with a fully forged engine, upgraded chassis, suspension, brakes, and interior. Ideal base for a turbo build, track car, or serious project. IMPORTANT: The car is currently SORN, has no MOT or tax, and will need to be trailered away. ENGINE & MECHANICAL Fully forged engine build (built for future turbo use) Rated to approx 300bhp capability (gearbox would require upgrade beyond this) Calculated displacement approx 1.62 Engine fires and runs Minor oil seepage consistent with performance builds Built to run on high-octane / premium fuel only Replacement battery fitted Forged engine package (from BOFI Racing - approx 1,200): Wossner forged pistons (79mm-78.5mm) Maxpeeding forged rods ACL Race main & rod bearings ACL Race thrust washers Hastings chrome piston rings Gates water pump HKS Black performance oil filter Duraflex polyurethane engine mounts (70A) Additional engine / supporting work: Crankshaft pulley & trigger wheel Cam belt Lower timing belt cover Thermostat & gasket NGK spark plugs Uprated ignition leads Japspeed aluminium radiator Recent update: Initial running issue was traced to crank sensor air gap. After adjustment, the car starts and runs without issue. Air gap will need setting to the correct specification.
