Hmm, I might have to drop that guy a txt and go over and have a poke around it. Ebay says its less than 5 miles from my home.

It does look a bit far gone to me, but looks like an Elford bumper? and be interested to find out more about the turbo set-up, could be worth bidding upto £300 just for those two bits and let the owner keep the rest! If I did go have a look I\'d take plenty of pics and try and work out just how far gone she is.

p.s. I\'m not sure I like the nickname hahaha

EDIT: Just txt him, will wait for a reply!

To save anybody else having to go through Google...
 
BBR are still going strong, doing various conversions on MX5\'s.
 
From bbrgti.com:
 
The History of the BBR Mazda MX-5 Turbo
In 1990, exactly twenty years ago, renowned tuner and BTCC entrant Brodie Brittain Racing (BBR) was approached by Japanese car importer Mazda UK to tender for a 150BHP Turbo kit to fit the new MX-5 sportscar. Initially, there was an expectation that production would run to around 200 units.
Naturally there was competition to win the tender from other UK tuners, but BBR commenced work on the most economic turbo layout for the MX-5. In addition the criteria from Mazda UK demanded that the MX-5 turbo kit was to be a dealer fitment, so it was vital that the key components were simple to install - ‘like Lego,’ recalls Dave Brodie.
After an intensive development process BBR had soon established an ideal turbocharger package and subsequently won the Mazda UK tender, which contained strict design briefs regarding power limitations. One of the biggest design issues in this process was controlling the on boost fuelling, as there was no facility for this in the original Mazda ECU. Rising to the challenge BBR developed its own piggy back ECU called Interceptor, which enabled BBR to manipulate the electronic map settings from the original Mazda ECU to optimise the engine’s fuelling and ignition parameters for the turbocharger set up.
The end result was a Mazda UK approved, dealer fit, turbocharger kit that increased the power on the MX-5’s B16P engine from 115 bhp to 150 bhp. Warmly received by the motoring press and public alike, the BBR MX-5 turbocharger kit swiftly gained a reputation for bulletproof reliability and over the next few years BBR sold more than 1200 examples of the turbo kit, without a single engine failure."
 
 
No mention of Rotary turbo\'s though...

I did some googling,nothing on BBR turbo conversions on rotaries.
Maybe because it\'s so long ago,pre internet.

[myatt1972]

Interesting car and some interesting parts but I dont think that BBR set-up would fit in a right hand drive car, shame.

BBR have just re-released the turbo kit for the MX5 NA (Mk1) and a BBR Cosworth supercharger for the NC (Mk3)

Another turbo on ebay

This is what the ad says on ebay:-
"THE CAR WAS FITTED WITH  A JAP IMPORTED TURBO WHICH THE ENGINE TURNS OVER".

Could this be a Supercharger? Or am I reading too much into the words? Comments Guys?
