BBR Mazda MX-5 Super 200 | PH review | PistonHeads

The BBR Mazda MX-5 Super 200 is all about enhancing the ND MX-5's existing favourable attributes. The Super 200 is all about sticking to the MX-5's core values.

Would you buy this or the Abarth 124 Spider?

Look at the wheel-tyre combination! The sidewalls, so meaty! Love it!
Can't wait for ITBs in the ND.

A well prepped ND is pretty insane. You can push the car hard on the street and makes a fantastic Autocross car. SCCA STR.

Another Awesome job by BBR -
From an NC owner with a BBR designed, forged and tuned turbo engine and 378 HP - Well Happy! - Thank you BBR!
I'll have one of these with a turbo next!

Turbo lag ruins driving dynamics, so I'm also a fan of NA engines.

5:51 and here I was, all this time thinking Miatas were sports cars. Turns out they’re minivans.

Had a super 200 installed on my 2L NC, very impressed with it and BBR

I tested the mx-5 stock on the Nürburgring and got a 09:01 (Forza 7). Then I modified it as a Super 200 (Sport air intake, upgraded manifold, upgraded exhaust, upgraded camshaft, which gives me 209hp), I put short springs and that's it. After the upgrades, I got a 08:26. Those numbers are not big numbers but even on the game the car changes so much ! So if you wanted approximative lap times, here there are !

[checkyourself]

Did he call them ''wildwood'' brakes instead of Wilwood?

[vicentefz]

dude if you want to justify the price of the modifications, it would be a good idea if you show some dyno test

[Lee-ish]

I'm thinking of the BBR star chip for my 1.5 that means 50/50 weight distribution still but with the 2.0 tickle
As an add on BBR have just released a stage 1 turbo for the ND result 2.0 now does 0-60 5sec top speed limited to 155mph.

[ajeesh]

i am on my way just wait may be another 2 years, i hope these will still there

I have the NC with BBR super 200 and I love it. I've also had an Elise and yes very similar but much easier to live with. As for the £8000, you build it in affordable stages. I do wonder why it can't be termed a "sports car", that BBR ND will do 0-60 in about 5.6 sec's and out handle many more expensive cars.

[SaG]

Either the camera mount was floppy or BBR's setup is pretty hard and/or bouncy. The car looks a lot more nervous on rough tarmac than a stock version - even the one with the OEM Bilsteins. Great for a weekend/track-day toy, but I'm not sure I'd want that kind of setup in a daily driver.

[malice_wonderland]

I was willing to put up with the camera shake until you said it wasn't a sports car. MX-5 Cup, anyone?

[FrostyCoug]

the tune probably killed the sweet torque curve for the sake of top hp. would like to see 0-60 and a drag race vs stock

[VeganBytes]

Wouldn't be a bad idea to put a few links in the vid description for where to get these mods.

Regardless, the mx5 as is, is a good car. You really don't need much more unless you're putting it on a track.
The only thing I want is a tasteful rear spoiler for the rf version.
There's nothing but overpriced garbage out there at the moment.

[WezleyB]

the fiat-ata with a tune makes about 200hp... I would love to see this MX5 against a tuned fiat-ata..

[SashaNaronin]

Awesome stuff, do any of your 190+hp conversions have TUV papers available?

[benh]

agree with everything he said, smart guy obviously knows his stuff.

[GrooveTasticThang]

Always like the idea of a NA BBR conversion MX5, has s lot going for it. But looking at used cars for 1/2 or 1/3 the price would get you in an S2000 (240hp stock) or a Porsche Boxster- maybe a super 200 NC mx5 put together for £10k might be a good price point?
