GarageScout Take

First-year NB identity is paired with a thoroughly reworked performance setup, making this a 208-whp forced-induction build with suspension, chassis, and cockpit hardware to match.

Strengths

  • 1999 was the first model year of the NB-generation MX-5.
  • The seller reports a replacement engine and a dyno result of 208 whp and 165 lb-ft of torque.
  • Carfax documents recent replacement of the engine mounts, oil pan, spark plug wires, and clutch slave cylinder.

Watch For

  • The Virginia title is branded “not actual mileage,” and the true mileage is unknown despite the odometer reading about 178,300 miles.
  • Carfax reports minor rear-end damage in 2010. The seller also reports a 2023 repaint, with exterior chips and scratches present.
  • The check-engine light is illuminated.
  • The seller reports that the clutch pilot bearing needs replacement.
