Description

Overview: This 2006 Mazda MX-5 is a dedicated track car, heavily modified for high performance. It features a potent 2.5L engine swap and an EFR Turbo system producing 290HP at less than 10 lbs of boost.

Performance Specs: The build includes a Greddy boost controller, 1.5 cams, racing rods and pistons, and a high-flow intake manifold. Cooling is managed by an oil cooler and a Goodwin radiator for track reliability.

Hardware and Safety: Equipped with Wilwood brakes, heavy-duty RX7 front rotors, racing shocks, springs, and sway bars. Safety features include a Hard Dog roll bar and a rear spoiler. The sale includes two sets of wheels and tires.

Condition and Status: The interior features new leather seat covers and a newer soft top. Please note this is a dedicated track vehicle that cannot be registered or pass smog in California.

Market Highlights

  • The Performance Proposition: In 2026, the cost of building a 290HP turbocharged NC Miata from scratch exceeds $15,000 in parts and labor alone. This vehicle offers an incredible entry point for enthusiasts looking for a turn-key track weapon at a fraction of the build cost.
  • Southern California Track Scene: With proximity to world-class tracks like Buttonwillow and Willow Springs, there is a consistent market for dedicated track cars. Despite the registration issues, the rust-free California chassis remains highly prized by racers across the Southwest.
  • Mechanical Desirability: The 2.5L engine swap is the 'gold standard' for the NC Miata, providing the torque the original 2.0L lacked. When paired with an EFR turbo—known for its quick spool—this car punches well above its weight class in power-to-weight ratio.
