Classic Car Addict is proud to present this 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
Mazdaspeed Turbo Convertible for sale in our Mesa, Arizona
showroom. Introduced for the 2004 model year, the Mazdaspeed MX-5
was Mazda's first factory-turbocharged production Miata. Built on
the second-generation NB platform, the Mazdaspeed combined the
lightweight, rear-wheel-drive character of the original Miata with
additional horsepower, upgraded suspension, and improved chassis
rigidity. Produced just for 2004 (4,763 units) and 2005 (1,853
units) model years, these turbocharged roadsters have developed a
strong following among driving enthusiasts.
Exterior:
The Mazdaspeed MX-5 features a compact two-seat roadster body with
distinctive Mazdaspeed styling, including a unique front air dam,
rear spoiler, and sporty exterior accents. The convertible top
operates properly but does show spotting and fading in certain
areas. Its low stance and classic roadster proportions give this
Miata a timeless appearance.
Interior:
The driver-focused cabin features supportive seating, a
straightforward dashboard layout, and easy-to-reach controls. The
air conditioning blows cold, all gauges operate properly, and no
warning lights are illuminated. The seller reports no known
mechanical issues.
Engine:
Under the hood is a replacement Mazdaspeed turbocharged 1.8-liter
DOHC four-cylinder engine. The factory Mazdaspeed engine was rated
at 178 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque, offering a noticeable
performance increase over the naturally aspirated Miata. The
replacement engine maintains the turbocharged character that makes
this limited-production model desirable. Current engine output has
not been independently verified.
Transmission:
The Mazdaspeed MX-5 was factory-equipped with a six-speed manual
transmission, sending power to the rear wheels for a traditional
sports car driving experience.
Drivetrain:
The rear-wheel-drive Mazdaspeed was originally equipped with a
limited-slip rear differential. Undercarriage photographs show the
finned differential housing and additional chassis reinforcement
bracing.
Wheels and Tires:
The Mazdaspeed MX-5 features a performance-oriented wheel and tire
setup that complements its lightweight chassis and responsive
handling. The Mazda rides on 17-inch wheels with a staggered-brand
tire setup. Up front are Kumho Ecsta 205/40ZR17 tires with DOT date
codes indicating the 24th week of 2011. The rear features Falken
205/40R17 tires with DOT dates indicating 2019. All four tires
share the same size, although the brands and manufacturing dates
differ.
Suspension:
The suspension features independent double wishbones, Bilstein
shock absorbers, red coil springs, and front and rear sway bars.
Additional chassis bracing helps improve rigidity and contributes
to the sharp handling that has made the MX-5 a favorite among
driving enthusiasts.
Brakes:
Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS provide stopping power.
Steering:
Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering delivers precise feedback
and responsive handling.
Convertible Top:
The convertible top operates properly, allowing for open-air
driving. Some fading and spotting are present in the top material,
as shown in the vehicle photographs.
Undercarriage:
The undercarriage features factory-style chassis reinforcement
braces, independent suspension components, and protective
undercoating. Surface oxidation is visible on portions of the
suspension hardware, exhaust components, and rear differential
housing. Detailed undercarriage photographs are available for
review.
Vehicle History:
This Mazdaspeed MX-5 has received a replacement Mazdaspeed
turbocharged engine. The seller reports no known mechanical issues,
and the air conditioning, gauges, and convertible top are
functioning properly.
