Evening all,Here is my MX5, or to give its full name - Mazda MX5 184 Sport Nav+. Owned for two and half years covering approximately 15,000 miles.I'm sure most on Pistonheads know this, being an MX5 and all, but it's an 'ND2' with the revised 2.0 litre naturally aspirated engine developing 180-ish bhp. When doing my research a common opinion was this was the better engine compared to the previous 2.0 engine, which was hastily developed for the American market and whilst torquey, was a little asthmatic at higher revs.Good bitsIts a pretty glorious little thing. So analogue compared to modern ca

There is an interview on YT I think with Dave Coleman regarding the 2 litre option being added before launch. As you must know these cars are not about power but driving enjoyment. It was designed around the 1.5, which was ported, cammed, mapped etc for about 130hp redlining at 7500rpm.There was a discussion with the US distributors who complained that Americans would not buy a 1.5 and in any case it wasn't fast enough, by which they meant that the 0-60 time was longer than some other cars including fairly unremarkable "sedans". So they took the 2 litre Skyactiv-G straight from the Mazda 3 and put that in for an extra 30hp. In 2017 I decided I would buy an ND. I drove both the 1.5 and the 2 litre Sport Nav with the sports suspension and the LSD. I strongly preferred the 1.5 and bought one, which I still have about 40,000 miles later, much of that mileage on European tours which we still do - the next trip being the Pyrenees later this year.I drove the 1.5 first in my back-to back tests and found I was hitting the limiter in the 2 litre with its redline at 6800. Basically the big change for the ND2 was doing to the engine what they had already done on the 1.5.I haven't done any 'performance' modifications. It's a 'momentum' car, obviously, but plenty fast enough when required. I don't care about power and acceleration times within reason. I spent £400 having the underside and cavities treated with Bilt Hamber clear wax, and there is zero visible rust on the underside. I strongly recommend rust protection if you are in the UK.I do one gentle track day each year just for the fun of driving at illegal speeds and enjoying the grip to an extent that would be irresponsible on a public road. I wouldn't lower one of these although many do. The 1.5 is more compliant and rolls a bit more, you'd want to fix that for racing otherwise you wouldn't win, otherwise I like it very much. The OE tyre on the 1.5 is the Yokohama Advan Sport V105, a very stiff walled tyre tha
