The Joy of Driving: Supercharged Mazda MX-5 Adventure | Henry Catchpole - The Driver’s Seat
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 05. 2024
- What a breath of fresh air! In this episode, Henry Catchpole drives a supercharged Mazda MX-5 from renowned tuners BBR GTi. Proving that fast fun can still be affordable in this age of mega-expensive hypercars and restomods, Hagerty heads to some incredible roads in Wales that suit the little Mazda perfectly.
Producing 250bhp and 220lb ft of torque, the Stage 2 Supercharger kit makes a palpable difference to the ND generation Mazda (2015-19 model years), dropping the 0-60mph time to 5.1 seconds. This particular car also has a suspension upgrade with Koni dampers, new OZ Ultraleggera wheels and a bigger brake kit.
The end result is a fabulous enhancement of everything that makes the standard MX-5 great. It still feels nicely useable (the way it fits so neatly on these narrow roads is a case in point), the linearity of the power delivery is maintained and the gearshift remains a delight at any speed, but when you find the right situation you have performance that feels in a very different league.
We also look at the reasons driving with the roof down can actually be good for you. A study (albeit with a fairly small sample size) carried out at Cranfield University in association with FIAT has put some numbers to the fluctuations in things like happiness and stress when you drive with the top down. The results seems conclusive - especially when delivered by someone wearing a Tweed waistcoat and a spotty bowtie.
We hope you enjoy the episode - let us know in the comments down below if there are other rivals to the MX-5 that you would like us to try.

After years of buying "macho" euro big name big horsepower cars I finally bought a soft top Mx5 ND2. Best decision I ever made, cheap, reliable and dam fun!
Yup, high horsepower cars are usually heavy, and mass just kills fun. Once you get used to high power, such cars don't have much to offer on normal roads when it comes to driving enjoyment.
@arekb5951 I've been saying it for years to people who prefer big heavy machines that go fast when you mash the throttle on the motorway like saloons or SUVs, it's okay to like that but that's not proper driving enjoyment... that's just a small part of the driving experience.
@@arekb5951exactly. I just bought a 96" Accord this year and the thing with the stock 145 horsepower is 10 times more fun than my turbo big boy cars.
@@Landon-si5xc but does he drive an MX5?
@@huwd2292 MX-5 is always the answer.
I'm in Australia and I've embarked on my de rigeur mid-life crisis (who am I kidding... it's an end of life crisis - I'm 73). I've bought a brand new bog standard MX5 (Deep Crystal Blue Mica, hard-top, BBS wheels) which is expected in the country in mid-September. Can't wait to get in it, run the top down, don a baseball cap (also de rigeur) and head off down some of Victoria's best roads.
As usual Hagerty and Henry, 11 out of 10 for the quality of the video.
I'm 77, bought a 2016 Jaguar F-Type last year, looking for a good Jaguar XJ8 VDP to join it this year. My daily is a 2016 MX-5. Keep buying interesting cars!
The fact that the crew got such good audio in a car with the top down deserves appreciation 🎉
No, technology has moved since 2008
I wanted to comment somthing simular like 'it's called technology''@@Kronos0999
@@Kronos0999 😆🤣 This. Imagine a company with Hagerty's gargantuan funding pools not being able to afford a good microphone??
4:20 "We've got an ND filter" is under appreciated. Being both an ND2 owner and a hobbyist photographer who uses ND filters, the play on words is too good. Well done Henry!
I groaned in the best way 😁
I died laughing at that joke. Amazing!
Plus, the part about getting better script writers, haha!
ND filter... love it!
one of the best feelings is when you're driving fast enough with roof down while rain is pouring you do not get a single dropplet on you because the air pushes all of it away before it reaches cabin...
I love seeing fellow drivers faces when they see me driving top down while its raining :D
Top down in the middle of winter in the states - light snow is great - with the heating full blast or summer in the desert with the AC full blast are both quite unreal. You'll get the same looks 😛
@@monkeybarmonkeyman oh yes, i'm guilty of that too... everyone thinks you should be freezing but its just slight chill when you stop, once you hit the gas you are toasty...
Folks if you didnt already, you owe yourself the pleasure to drive a stickshift coup convertable, its awesome.
That and riding a motorbike, thats the ultimate fun.
Your comment vaguely reminded me of an advert that ran on TV in Australia some years back and I think it was an advert for some fashion or beauty product. At one point in the advert, there was a couple in a soft top convertible car and one of them poked a hole through the soft top while there was rain outside at night.
The only thing is, that as the rain intensifies one must drive faster. That is fun at first, but it does get questionable at a point.
......until a red light, or a slow moving traffic with a manual roof !!
That looks like soooo much fun! A revvy engine with 250 ponies in that super light, manual car, must feel amazing... 😃
Miata + Twisties = Happyness 💙
Henry is one of the top 10 youtube presenters ever. So happy Hagerty hired you. Cheers 🎉🎉
The ND filter gag was brilliant. You don't need better scriptwriters. 👀
What does ND stand for? non disclosure?
@@saulespino2510 ND is the generation code for the Miata. Each gen of Miata has the letter designation N(A, B, C, D, etc..). Not sure about the photography bit though.
@rhyshcoker2763 nd filters are used in photography/video, essentially they are sunglasses for cameras
@@saulespino2510 "Neutral Density" (lens filter)
@@adnanrahman5883 Thanks for the clarification!
Catchpole is the reason I'm here. Another stellar presentation.
Don't forget Alex Goy! I love his videos too.
I been reading EVO since 2001 and I remember when Henry was rolling in a white Mini Cooper. He is a great journalist and a very good driver. I remember when he was in the Huayra and Harry Metcalfe was in a Veyron Vitesse racing them through the countryside, Henry has been part of some legendary sh17 in his time.
Pure class is catchpole.
One of the best on the you tubes
Same here, I remember reading his articles and loving them before even noticing his name back in 2003.
Man...this gave me all the old-school Top Gear vibes!
I always get that vibe off his stuff to.
Diablo sv is up there if you haven't watched it then do it....
What a great set of mods for an ND MX-5. I don't know how you could have more fun in a car for $25k.
Well, he is talking about British pounds, so the number is more like $33K.
@@jimiverson3085just under $32k mate, either way this is the bargain of the Fookin century!! Fill your boots fellow MX5 owners
Not sure which I envy more - the cars Henry gets to drive, or the roads he gets to drive them on!
Why would you envy a road?
Why would you envy a car ?
@terminalogicalinexactitude4561 You've caught me; I favored brevity over grammatical correctness in the referenced CZcams comment. The intended meaning was that I envy Henry for the cars and roads he gets to experience. Sure, I could have said, "I don't know what I envy Henry for more - the cars he gets to drive, or the roads upon which he gets to drive them," but that just sounded unwieldy.
@@tlniecWhy would you envy henry? just joking, kinda
I agree. What a wonderful job to have. Thx guys. Anyways. Where is that? Would love to drive there one day!
It's always a treat to see a new car review from Henry
I happen to own an ND1 2.0 which has been lightly breathed on and i can assure you they are a lot of fun. I don't think anything gets near them for the money they are.
a lot will keep up with them for the money though
@thatbeetle how reliable would it be to supercharge this? I looked up superchargers for gt86, most are here and there hmm
Ive got an s2000 and its pretty fun. I wish it had a turbo though
@@quocanhphanho8969 unfortunately the ND Miata has a glass gearbox and with a supercharger you can easily break them. But the engine and rest of the platform is great. Easy to mod and tons of availability for stuff. Easier to get a ND2 generation and get an exhaust & tune.
Why isnt this man a presenter on Top Gear, is beyond me.. such good reviews. 🍺
I've been saying it for years, with Harry and Jethro.
It will ruin his style. Let people stay where they belong. He s a free journalist. Not a puppet of BBC, like monkey which lost all his mana...
He's too good for Top Gear
@PaddyMcQueen I think back to how it used to be, proper car reviews with an annual group test for maybe Christmas.
@@corsadonk if so ok !
I've got a supercharged NA Mx-5 with 220 bhp. Cost me about £5,000 in total 8 years ago. Still have it, it's still brilliant.
@@Landon-si5xc Fine but does he drive a Miata ?
Proving why Henry is the premium motoring journo that he is. Again.
Can't believe you are "just" a youtube channel, this deserves to be on TV
If you haven't already seen the diablo sv piece he did check it out its up there with the best car stuff I've seen .
Do it....!!!
@zadfender9423 thanks I will definitely have a look
Hagerty is also an insurance provider, among other things
TV would ruin it. CZcams has had vastly superior content for just about every niche for years now.
@lordshaxx2165 : If it was on TV, when do you think you would ever get to see it?... maybe on some obscure channel, in the middle of the night, after all the re-runs of forty year old 'canned laughter' comedies?
Leave Henry on Hagerty, and leave Hagerty on CZcams where we can all watch it free, whenever we like, as often as we like, on whatever device we like... EVEN A TV!! 😜
Nd filter joke is appreciated 😂
I Love Henry's content.
Going through a sudden change in weather conditions on a mountain road and experiencing drops in temperature around you is one of those things you don't even know about until you drive in the mountains with the top down. You can actually feel different pockets of atmosphere changing around you on a winding road, where sudden gusts of chilly air wash over you as you head downhill in a tree covered valley, only to crest a summit moments later with clear and sunny skies above. I imagine it's what birds experience in flight and it's about as close as you can get to that feeling on four wheels, and it's something you won't experience in a car with a fixed roof no matter how many of the windows you roll down in an attempt to pretend it's a convertible. Can you tell I have an MX-5? 😎
Try riding through that same mountain road on two wheels, it's even more noticeable.
That’ll be the reason it’s described as “Sudden” mate
@@Landon-si5xc u obviously dont beleive in islam u fed lol
Had to let my NB go after 15 great years as my wife could no long get out easily.
Managed to include it into my daughter’s wedding speech.
The handling.
The gearchange.
Always top down and massive smiles.
Man... I feel like crying I miss my ND. Exact same colour... Time to visit Autotrader. Lovely video... The gearbox and pedal placement is sublime.
Don't leave us in suspense, what's the name of the colour?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH ...blue?
I had a new 2004 Mazdaspeed edition here in central Florida, and while fun, it just wasn’t the car for these roads - jammed with oversized traffic, searing humidity and horrendous drivers. Crossing the mid Wales landscape on a lovely little B road, well, now you’re talking! Get an MX-5 only if you have somewhere decent to drive it.
Did my racing lincensing school in a MX5, mostly with the top down because it the middle of summer. Wheeling them around at speed like that... simply contagious.
Catchpole just keeps getting better
Great gags in this video. A=MX^5. The neutral density filter. Keep it up Henry and the whole team. What a delight to watch and enjoy all these brilliant pieces of automotive journalism.
Another great review, love that little Mazda. Thank you Henry!
I wish I had those type of roads around my area. 👍🏻
ND is a classic. The added power and chassis control can only make things better. 👏🏻🙂
The perfect analogue antidote to an increasingly digital world. Keep these coming Henry!
I couldn’t agree more about open top motoring; it adds such connection & adventure to any trip, however mundane. On a mild summer night, open motoring is pure bliss. Truly magical. Never understood why Mazda didn’t make a quick MX5, like the Lotus original of 50 years ago. For my money, I’d invest in an Elise - oops, already did that! Great video.
Filmed really well and the right words are said. Perfect! Thank you!
The cinematography OMGG! Beautifully shot. Love the host too!
I like this guy. He's really calm and informative.
I have to admit it’s an awesome kit. Using the BBR forged internals and the BBR Stage 1 Turbo, we made 290 whp and 277 wtq. It’s an animal.
Great content. Fantastic cinematography. Massively enjoyed this. Thanks
I miss my ND. Replaced it with a GR86 after someone hit me. Should have gotten a second miata
Why? Whats wrong with the GR86?
@binskee677 nothing is wrong with the 86, but the miata is more fun to drive, and it's made to a higher quality (suspension is aluminum double wishbone vs. steel McPherson strut, interior is a nicer place to be)
I will say I prefer the steering feel of the 86, but every time I see a mx5 I want another go in one
Trade it in, there will be plenty of approved used ND's at Mazda dealers. Do it.
@@StudlySoldier ah okey understandable, also the open top driving is awesome, you should maybe try an S2000 if you get the chance too. I wouldn't say it's "better" than the Miata but the sam recipe but a very different car.
Another great HC film and script. Not enough attention paid to these BBR tweaked mx-5. Thanks for the film chaps
If you liked this, you guys should give bikes a chance! Being outhere, in the open world, is a different level.
Those kind of tuned mx5 are true weapons on road and track. Nice video as usual.
Drove a 1.5 ND yesterday and got it to the Schwarzwaldstraße here in Germany. Was my first sports car experience (if it counts)... I hate how much I loved it. It was the most fun with a hobby of mine since I bought my first wheel to play Assetto on...
Wonderful car. And that gear change! The engine loved getting thrashed... The steering kinda dead, yeah, but I really didnt mind that at all...
Yesterday showed me that I need a car like this... The sims are fun but... Cant compare it to the real thing.
This video is the perfect compliment to that car, it's as though they were designed in tandem.
Good as always. Made my grim Friday enjoyable again. Thank you!
Brilliance. Everything. Well done!
Great informative video, well presented. Thanks.
I firmly believe that Ministry of tourism (or however it is called in UK), Mazda and BBR could use this video for advertising purposes. I sit on my laptop after going on an amazing Greek seaside and it makes me wanna book tickets and just visit this landscape with my Miata (or my grandpa's Alfa Romeo Giulietta). It's really one of the best videos I have ever watched on YT. Thank you!!!
Book tickets and we can go with my Boxster S 986. From a fellow Greek (/random)
An invitation from a fellow petrol head, you two need to get on these Welsh mountain roads and rip your cars around! Driving with mates makes it even better.
What you explained in the first minute is exactly why ride a motorbike is a joy
His comments remind me of how much I used to love driving my NA 1.6. Can't wait until I get enough together to get it back on the road.
5:21 I believe the correct plural for pound-foot is pound-feet, as opposed to pounds-foot..
I like that description of the backstreets pub that I would enjoy more than the expensive one with the exclusive guest list. Right up my alley!
Great video, nice to have some attention on smaller, less powerful cars.
Also, where is this road?! 😍
Elan valley in Wales!
@@davidphasey5438 I was sure if it’s Elan or Llyn Brianne
I've had my ND for about 10 months now and haven't gotten over the "honeymoon phase." I've had the pleasure to drive all kinds of cars throughout my life. Faster and more capable ones. But the MX-5 makes me very happy at any speed.
I know a guy with a 500 hp Aston and a Miata and he drives the Miata 10x more. A sorted Roadster is all of us true driving enthusiasts need. Our egos want more, but this is our core need.
The ND filter line was nice.
Right now, my attainable dream car is an NC2 (MY '09-12) Miata PRHT with upgraded wheels, tires, suspension, and brakes, followed by intake, exhaust, and finally a supercharger. The 3rd generation is me enough to have modem features and an available hard top but old enough to be affordable. Those specific models years have the best looks IMO. The order of upgrades is simply correct AFAIK. I prefer a blower over a turbo for the more predictable throttle response. I rented an EcoBoost Ford, and I figured out that I don't like turbo lag.
Your "script writers" are just fine, Henry! Thank you, and the production team, for making such a great video and program! One of the best out there! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
I’d love to listen to Henry drive and talk about an S2000 like this.
The s2000 would have a nicer engine tone and less heating issues. probably cheaper too, but it would be slower. 0-60 in 6.1 seconds
I think the S2000 sounds worse. More mechanical, angrier. Sort of grating.
Literally bought my (first?) Miata yesterday, a NB, and now Hagerty comes up with this vid. Let's just say I literally want to clock out of work and drive with the roof down right now haha
Amazing stuff as always, Catchpole is my fave
Are you asking us if it's your first Miata?
How could you not know whether it was your first or not...?
@@squidikkamight mean the first of many to come
Yeah that’s a very strange bracketed and question marked word. Regardless of that you need to get on the blower to BBR to order this kit! This my friend is the bargain of the fookin century!!
Henry is so chill and simultaneously on point
It's all the plant based aromas coming from the caravans he passes 😉
LOVE this one. I daily drive a lightly modified ND2 and it’s simply an amazing little machine. Like stated in the video, for a sports car, the diminishing returns start here.
I can't wait to see what they can do with the ND2.
They are finally supercharging ND2 in America. The problem is the smaller fuel injectors causing not enough fuel to get to the combustion chamber when it's supercharged. It means they've had to program the rev limit back to 7000rpm instead of the ND2 standard 7500rpm. Still it's a big jump in hp to supercharge.
Thanks for the beautiful scenery. Makes me want to go drive my NC3 with a Cosworth Supercharger.
Superb video!
@Landon-si5xc but does he drive an MX-5?
I think Henry is great, and he just excels on these types of videos, bringing joy to driving down a good road and telling you how the car feels...
In my ladder of dream cars, an MX-5/Miata is the starting rung :)
As a weekend canyon carver in Los Angeles, my Miata gets driven fairly quickly through the turns . Outside of modifying the suspension and fitting the car with wider wheels and stickier tires you really don’t need more power though it can help but could get you trouble too. The MX5 is more about balance and agility.
That Hagerty Drivers Club segue was brilliant 🤣
As always loving the films you put out!
I love , love driving my convertible for the very reasons you mention!
I got a header, exhaust, E85 ND1 - gotta say, it is a blast to drive in the canyons and track but definitely needs even more power than my modifications give it. Supercharger might be the next step..
For me, the stock 181bhp is spot on. Plenty brisk enough, you can wind it all the way out at legal speeds and it feels fantastic fun.
Such a fun video - total mind candy, thank you!!
As usual.. entertaining commentary 💯💯
He didn't mention the details; the suspension upgrade is the same I had fitted on my MX-5 nd by BBR last month.
- Koni Sport adjustable dampers, but revalved by BBR
- BBR spec progressive lowering springs
- BBR specific geometry setup
I've done 300 miles since the upgrade, giving the new components time to settle and bed in...
Thoughts...
- just one negative; the low speed ride and bump absorption is a bit firm, perhaps this will settle better as it all beds in more, though this is still the case after 300 miles. HOWEVER, I still have yet to try backing off the damper setting from the current medium, I hope and think setting it to soft will iron out this gripe
- but in all other ways; mid and high speed ride/absorption, cornering flatness, initial and mid-corner turn-in response and holding are just greatly improved. In particular I'm floored by how it behaves when imputing more lock to tighten the line still further mid-corner when pushing on; it just obeys and tucks right in beautifully, where before the rear tyres would scrub and push wide
----------
Assuming my upcoming damper adjustment to softer gets rid of that firmness without compromising the positives, I think this is a great upgrade. As it stands, the firm low speed ride is tolerable and the overall net improvements are fantastic.
I love how almost all car reviewers are loving the roads through untouched nature, the smell of trees and the sound of bees.. all the nice things that are actually harder and harder to find anywhere.... because of cars and the impact car centric planning all over the world has had.
thanks Henry!
great car. great vid. not sure i could handle a blown ND2 on my backroads. but it would be perfect for all of my other driving situations. that color though!!! lovely.
If anyone is wondering, the song (in the beginning) is 'Breakdown' by Droid Bishop from the album, 'Into the Abstract'. The whole album is great and is definitely worth listening to.
The car, and presentation are truly top notch as well. Really can't get any better than this!
Thanks Mrs. Bishop
The Elan Valley is stunning, and that section that eventually takes you to Cwmystwyth and Devils Bridge, a simply outstanding driving experience.
Even better, turn right in Devils Bridge and follow the even more majestic road towards Llangurig.
What better car to do it in, than a lovely little MX5
It even looks like an S2000 now, at least in profile. Wonderful.
fantastic video
Excellent video
The shot into the cabin while driving looks like a Hitchcock film. Well done all around. Subscribed
Where is that road - I need to take my beloved Mx5 down it now - and need to find the pennies to get that kit fitted 😂
would love to know as well
Found in another comment: "I don't think it has a name but it goes around the Llyn Brainne reservoir and links up the the devil's staircase. Neither of these roads are fast and flowing but more of a technical rally stage. The more known roads like the black mountain pass are too busy and in my opinion overrated. These quiet back roads you can really push on. Excellent jumps too! The only issue is these roads don't really lead anywhere and it takes a while to get back to some better roads. I spent 3 years at uni in Swansea so made the most of the Welsh countryside, I don't think I left a bit of tarmac untouched."
@@monkeymagic86ify …my man
Reminds me of my '02 supercharged S2000. I miss that rowdy car. 😢
Thank you for making this!
The Ohlins R&Ts are excellent on the Miata. A friend has an ND with that setup and I have had the honor of driving it before and after the change. Excellent upgrade, as Ohlins normally are.
i just bought a 2018 RF.. what a fun car. going to be turboed in 6 months. first time i ever drove a miata. its beautiful too already got a compliment at the gas station, i got it tonight lol. I drove a 2015 STI after this and it had an absolutely awful shifter loose and notchy the mazda felt brand new
Bro that filter delivery was MINT!!!! Love to see it
Last year I got a fantastic MX-5 2.0 ND Sport Soft Top, fantastic car, nice design, drives great especially with some modifications like Ohlins R&T Manifolds map Exhaust filter Anti bump steer kit
Anti-roll tensioning adjustment rods Motorsport (End Links), the car consumes little fuel and is fun to drive with a volumetric compressor or the turbo would be even faster but it would increase the price by at least 5k and 45k for a Miata are starting to be a lot of money for a non-luxurious Spyder, the MX-5 ND is fun even with 160\180 hp. I had one before
Lotus Elise S I kept it for 4 years, a wonderful car but the Miata 2.0 ND doesn't make me regret it too much, among other things, I have more fun with the Miata because I can drift much more easily while with the Lotus Elise S I was afraid of do damage since it's all super expensive
There really is something extra about having the top down on a great road. It’s like you’re part of the world instead of just an observer traveling through it.
1st - the answer still is ...... Miata
I’m picking up a stage 2 turbo nc tomorow morning and this video has just made me even more excited
I assure you that you will have the best time of your life! Greetings from a NC3 owner with Rotrex and nearly 300hp😊
I'm amazed Henry fits into this car! I am 6'1" and wasn't sure if I'd fit, but now I know. 😄
I don't do competitions.. Except yours mate. Happy to support, fingers crossed!
What a wonderful Video! Thank you very much for the input and those beautiful landscape shots.
They're the same thoughts I got the last 2 years. I bought a Opel Speedster 2.2 with a after market exhaust and open Air filter. Good loudness, some rare real small crackles when you lift the gas at certain revs AND "low-ish" power compared to other sport's cars. But the beautiful thing is: you can rev it out legally on normal streets. In the Forests, on great back roads. It's just so much fun. It seems to be louder than it is fast, but that's what makes it so great - because it feels also faster than you really are. The pure feeling through the suspension... Ah, now I want to drive again. But it's raining😮💨
What I wanted to say: numbers doesn't matter. The feeling, driving the car, matters! Even 7s to 100kph can feel so orgasmic just by the sound and the rattles throughout the chassis.
That's what I like about magazines like Hagerty and Carfection. They teach you to not forget about the importance of the FEELING while driving. You don't have to drive a 400.000€ McLaren 720s. You can have even more FUN with a wayyyyy cheaper car - I had more fun with a 22.500€ car. Just be open an explore your feeling while driving different cars.
Have a great time!
8:11 did I hear a bottom-out?
Seems so
Great review, it sounds like the extra power has enhanced the MX5 experience rather than taking away from its balance and charm, tempting 🤔
Open-top cars are great; can confirm. Having owned a convertible Mustang GT and currently 986 Boxster owner, life is better with the lid off.
I’ve just a got a nd2 2.0 can’t wait to hammer it
That is a sweet looking MX 5
