Mazda MX-5 2003 Manual 1839 (cc)

Description

2003 Mazda MX-5 Mk2.5 – ~85,000 miles – McLaren Azores Orange (DIY painted)
This is a freshly-painted, low-mileage, performance-focused MX-5 project with roughly £9,000 in parts and upgrades. Ideal for an enthusiast looking for a nearly track-ready car or a solid base for a turbo build.

Key features & upgrades:
• Full track suspension setup with quality hsd monopros coilovers
• Coilover protective socks fitted
• Upgraded SVT sport brakes
• Full stainless straight-through exhaust (essentially straight-piped)
• ME442 fully customisable ECU with custom map already on it
• JDM-style steering wheel (no airbag)
• Body kit fitted – aggressive stance & track look
• Fresh DIY paint in McLaren Azores Orange — looks striking in sunlight
• Full structural welding done — sills and known rust points sorted
• Front chassis rails not welded, but look visually sound
• Only ~85k miles — decent mileage for these
• ~£9,000 spent on parts and modifications over time

The honest bits (read this):
• No MOT currently
• Straight-pipe exhaust will likely need modification or silencing to pass MOT
• Touchscreen head-unit / radio doesn’t function properly
• JDM steering wheel fitted — no airbag
• DIY paint — looks great from 5ft+, but has some imperfections
• This is a project car — not a turnkey daily

This MX-5 has had all the expensive and time-consuming work done: welding, suspension, brakes, ECU, body work. Mechanically and structurally it’s a strong example, and the ME442 + low mileage + track hardware make it an ideal platform for forced induction (turbo/SC).

Brilliant near track-ready base for someone who knows these cars and wants a reliable, sorted starting point without fighting rust or chasing mileage-related wear.

Price: £4,500 ONO
