The Mazda Miata or MX 5 depending on where you come from is not the sort of car that you would expect to see modified. Being a drop head coupe sport car, normally that would be enough for the owner, but in this no it was not and so we find that this fantastic car has a lot more to offer than what any onlooker would first think.
The modifications appear to be mainly for looks rather than performance as the MX 5 or Miata already has plenty of speed to go round. However, for the import builder the shape and lines of the car are just as important, it is clear to see that there was no holding back when they got to work on the fantastic looking car.
The original car would have offered the choice of a 1.6 litre or 1.8 litre power plant and a four speed auto or five speed manual gearbox. Nevertheless, these engines still produce between 120 HP and 131 HP, which on a car of this size, it weighs around 2,000 lbs is pretty useful when you put your foot down and open it up.

OBX Red Spark Plug Wire Set 2005 Mazda Miata 1.8l
Product Description of the OBX Red Spark Plug Wire Set 2005:
OBX High Performance Spark Plug Wires are the highest quality and thickest wires available in today’s market. Six individually wrapped 18 strand copper cores are wrapped with a stainless steel conductor to ensure greater ignition current conduction and longer spark duration. The core is covered with a special synthetic dielectric compound that prevents all electrical leakage and arcing of the current due to microscopic cracks when aging occurs. Extra heavy duty glass braid is woven around to withstand extreme wire stretch from pulling. All of this is coated with an outer sheeting of silicone double wrap measuring 10.3mm in thickness to withstand extreme engine bay temperatures. OBX wires are compatible with all types and brands of spark plugs on the market today to increase voltage output and provide maximum combustion on today’s high performance engines. These wires have been dyno tested to significantly increase horsepower and torque on both stock and modified engines over OEM ignition wires.

Mazda Miata (1.6L) Weapon-R Secret Weapon Intake System
Product Description of the Weapon-R Secret Weapon Intake System:
“The Weapon-R Secret Weapon Intake System was designed, to increase air intake volume to the engine. The concept is to create two different air velocity profiles, one travelling at higher speeds than the other does. This technology increases air volume and speed to the engine, which naturally feeds the engine 3x more air than the conventional air intake system. The intake pipe is bent out of high quality 6061 Aluminium on our Automated CNC mandrel bender. Polished to a high show quality finish. The SW1 Air filter features a tuned velocity stack to increase velocity and decrease turbulence.”
