Because frankly, there’s too many half-arsed ones out there.
You know the feeling, don’t you? You’re scrolling through build threads and Facebook groups, looking at “builds” that make you want to weep into your tea. Wonky fabrication, bodged wiring that looks like spaghetti, and setups that’ll leave you stranded faster than you can say “that’s not how you mount a turbo.” Well, I’ve had enough of it.
After years of perfecting my own builds and watching people struggle with subpar work, I’m officially opening my doors to take on customer MX5 builds. And I’m not talking about slapping a few bolt-ons on and calling it a day, I’m talking about proper builds that’ll make you grin like an idiot every time you turn the key.
What Am I Actually Offering Then?
Everything, basically. Whether you want:
• Complete builds from ground up – bring me your donor car and your dreams, I’ll make it happen
• Consultation and planning – because proper builds start with proper planning
• Parts supply and installation – only the good stuff, none of that eBay special nonsense
• Setup ready for tuning – I’ll get everything mechanically perfect so your tuner can work their magic
• 8HP controller tuning and setup – this is where I really geek out 🔥
But Why Should You Trust Me?
Fair question. Anyone can claim they know what they’re doing, right?
Have a look at my own K24 + 8HP MX5 NC build if you want proof. It’s not just about the power (though it makes plenty), it’s about how everything works together. The fabrication is spot on, the wiring is tidy, and the 8HP setup shifts so brutally smooth that passengers think the car came with it from the factory.
That’s what happens when you do things properly the first time instead of bodging it and hoping for the best.
My Approach? Obsessive Attention to Detail
Look, I’ll be straight with you, I’m absolutely anal about details. Some might say it’s a problem, I call it a feature.
When I take on your build, you’re getting:
• Only quality parts – if I wouldn’t put it on my own car, it’s not going on yours
• Proper fabrication – everything measured twice, cut once, and actually fits properly
• Technical excellence – because your MX5 deserves better than “it’ll do”
• Regular updates – you’ll know exactly what’s happening throughout the build
• Amazing results – because anything less is just disappointing
And here’s the thing about 8HP swaps specifically, I’ve been there, done it, learned the hard way about RPM limits and controller setups. Your build benefits from all those lessons without you having to experience the expensive mistakes.
The Reality Check
I’m only taking on one build at a time.
Before you think “well that’s inconvenient,” hear me out. This means your build gets my complete, undivided attention. No rushing to get to the next job, no cutting corners because I’m behind schedule, no forgetting which car needs what because I’m juggling five projects.
Your build becomes my obsession until it’s perfect.
Yes, this means you might need to wait a bit longer to get started, but wouldn’t you rather wait for something done right than get something done quickly and badly?
Practical Stuff
You’ll need to bring the car to me, I’ve got the space, tools, and setup to do things properly. Location details and logistics we can sort when you get in touch.
As for costs… well, every build is different, isn’t it? Depends what you’re starting with, where you want to end up, and how mental you want to go with it. Drop me a message and we’ll have a proper chat about what you’re after.
Ready to Do This Properly?
If you’re serious about getting your MX5 built right, not just built, but built right… then let’s have a conversation.
I’m not interested in quick bodge jobs or “it’ll do” builds. But if you want something that’ll make other MX5 owners properly jealous and actually works as well as it looks?
That’s what I live for.
Get in touch for a quote and let’s talk about making your MX5 dreams actually happen.
Because life’s too short for disappointing builds. 😎
