MK3 was where they finally got a chassis that wasn't made of cheese, and the MK3 has the best steering...

@OurTim Ай бұрын

The steering on this was phenomenal. So many times I turned into a corner and found myself turning out as it was just so responsive, yet it didn't feel fidgety or over sensitive. Masterpiece.

Thumbs up NC Gang! NC is an awesome and very versatile platform to build on! But most importantly - smiles per km! Hard to beat that.

Well....... if you like the supercharged 250 bhp NC, you need to try one like mine. Fully forged turbo, 321bhp @ 0.6 bar, very linear power delivery, no spikes etc. real supercar performance for relatively cheap money. A real performance bargain!!!!

Aside from your BBR, the NC is a lot better than you make it seem. When it comes to performance, the na and nb are not even close, so the real question here is what are you looking for? You don't seem to really know. The beauty of the MX5....make it what you want.😃 miata is always the answer.

@youmongrel Ай бұрын

Under £2,000??! Damn Europe has a much different relationship with the NC, in the USA even the oldest NCs start at 6k in not-great shape. My 2008 PRHT with 134k miles was $11,000 last year, bought from a 20-something kid who used it as his daily. People are really beginning to appreciate them.

@marcodebortoli Ай бұрын

Yes but no, the one at that price point are very high mileage low spec trims and engine most of the times and often Cat N. Of course you have the odd one but it's rare. Something like yours already start to be in the £4k/£5k through online channels for a decent bargain. Also don't forget the weather we have over here in the UK... rust is not joke on those babies :D

@jordanklohr465 Ай бұрын

I picked up a 2014 White NC Grand Touring w/ Bilstein Shocks (38k mi) for $17k a few months ago. Well worth it, NAs and NBs were too old for me, ND2 & ND3s are too expensive and as for a ND1, I didn’t want to take the risk with the ND1 manual transmission. Well worth the buy!

@marcodebortoli Ай бұрын

@@jordanklohr465 the most expensive I’ve seen recently here in the UK are/were a 25th Anniversary for £15k at 17000 miles and an sport graphite at £21£ with full BBR stage 2 turbo at 36000 miles. But those are the odd ones.

@kyle4646 Ай бұрын

Good video with great sounds of the supercharger and makes me want more power out of my 2014 NC . but well out on the price of NC models maybe if you’re lucky 2k for a very rusty basic 1.8 🤦‍♂️ the model your sat in with Recaro seats is more like 10k+ just for standard car even more for a mint example and that’s if you can find one with those seats in for sale 🎉.

@OurTim Ай бұрын

Yes the one I was in was a rare Recaro but NCs are very cheap at the moment. Writing this now, there are 80 2.0L NCs on Autotrader alone, 5 under £2k. Speaking to several owners at the National Rally this year, all said how they were struggling to sell their NCs, even when they dropped the price. 2.0L NDs are dipping below 10k now… 😬

@BoostedNDMiata Ай бұрын

You think that’s fun, try adding another 100 hp! I have the BBR Stage 1 Turbo system with the BBR Stage 2 forged engine parts and cams. My 2018 club makes 350 hp (300 whp)and is an absolutely amazing car. Kit is solid and I’ve had no issues other than the heavy duty clutch still not being able to handle the power.

Although I don't really have any way to check that, you'll be shocked. I'll subscribe so I catch your reaction. Keep up the good work man :)

@Booka3141 Ай бұрын

If you've got the money for a 10k supercharge kit and to maintain it on an old car, you have the money to maintain a cayman S (which could be had for less and are actually very reliable). The reason to go with this is the comparatively light weight with the supercharger noise and torque, plus obviously personal preference. Lets not pretend a Porsche is ever a bad alternative.

@OurTim Ай бұрын

Agree, the Porsche is - and always will be - a fantastic car but it will have the running costs of a Porsche. Put £15k in a Porsche and it'll drive and I've no doubt bills will follow sooner or later. This NC really did perform, turn and handle like something half it's age and twice the price. The interior is starting to feel it's age, especially compared to the ND, but to drive, this thing was superb.

@barneyrubble9309 Ай бұрын

Well I couldn't find an NC for £2k or anywhere near that. However, I still bought one and its going to get the full Rocketeer treatment thanks to my dear late father's inheritance. Cannot wait!

@OurTim Ай бұрын

Have you tired both Rocketeer and BBR conversions?

@spencerpieters5502 Ай бұрын

I've owned NAs, NBs and an NC over a period of 25 years. Finally did a testdrive with a 2021 ND RF. Could not believe how awkward the steering had become. Under full acceleration it feels like the front wheels come off the ground? I didn't do any twisty bits with it where I suppose the steering is fine. It's either that, or every motoring journalist is blatantly lying about the ND's steering.

@jordanklohr465 Ай бұрын

I’ve only driven an NC3 and ND1/2. I’m biased but my NC steers wayyyy better than the NDs. Like night and day! I also have the suspension package so there’s that

Great review!! Ive just purchased a 2014 NC 25th Anniversary Edition for £13k and 63k miles. Its had over 15k spent on it at BBR. Stage 2 turbo, track and Road coilovers costing £3k plus fitting on top. Uprated intercooler and charge pipe. All carbon fiber under the hood and brakes. The conversion was done by BBR in 2014 wity 205 miles on the clock, now has 63k and still hitting 300bhp. Its a flying machine, it really is. Id love to test out one of their 370bhp conversions. Maybe, if the price is right id consider it. However 300bhp is simply outstanding. My work car is a new BMW M340I and this is far faster. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbyFgpiCqZ-9m4k.htmlsi=RE0W7TXLuqTkLu9l

@Philiprreeves Ай бұрын

The Mk4 is a nice car. However, it's a tunabilty is very limited due to weak internals and gear box. £240 hb is ur limited. However, the NC has the a better stronger gear box and engine and is good for 310 bph. That is super car terrain. The NC and ND both need turbo or supercharging to Male it the car is wants to be. Far too under powered, even the ND 3 is dull. However an NC with a stage 2 or 3 turbo, wowowowoww

@OurTim Ай бұрын

I agree, that extra power - and brakes and suspension - really does bring the NC to life. I've always found the ND a delight to drive and BBR's tuned version was fantastic. I do like the supercharger conversion, elevates the original's linear delivery, emphasising the character, not changing it.

@absoluteclownworld 29 күн бұрын

These are NOT cheap like 2k or whatever where I live... Western Canada. A 06-08 with 100k Miles in good shape, clean title would be around 10-13k CAD 7.5-10k USD. My 2014 with 50k Miles would be aroune 20-23k CAD.

@jibson0011 Ай бұрын

Enjoyed this vid, but i think the nc and nd price comparison is wrong. For example a 2015 nc/nd price is not that much different. The true price variable between £15k & £30k is age. In many circumstances the newer car would be the cheapest option in the long run.

@OurTim Ай бұрын

Running costs on newer car should be less, but no two used cars are the same. Newer doesn’t always mean cheaper. Yes, last of the line NCs are close to early NDs. However writing this now, there are 80 2.0L NCs on Autotrader under 5k, whereas 2.0L NDs start at 10-12k. Speaking to several owners at the National Rally this year, all said how they were struggling to sell their NCs, even when they dropped the price. 😬

@jibson0011 Ай бұрын

@@OurTim A £15k BBR NC is indeed a cracking car. For me though I need a daily good for 8k miles per year, that I take to a garage for maintenance, so a BBR nd makes more sense to me. If I did my own maintenance and didn't need to daily then the NC would be more appealing. However, there is mx5 based competition from MK & Rocketeer for £15k that I would maybe consider before the BBR nc in that scenario. Nevertheless great food for thought and a very worthwhile vid to highlight the BBR NC. I imagine it would be perfect for a lot of enthusiasts 👍

@@davidrubin2612 🤣you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out we own an MX5 - click on the thumbnail pic🤣 The point I was making was the true essence of the MX5 was a light, simple, relatively low powered (and low cost) fun car with brilliant handling. It was never meant to be a 250hp monster. And it's not as if this is a bloke at home doing his own thing - this is a for profit company (BBR). It just seems a complete perversion of what the mx5 was meant to be. Buy a Honda S2000 that was designed to have circa 250 or so - leave the mx's alone and enjoy them as they were created.
