Edition page: 2005 Mazdaspeed

The 2005 Mazdaspeed carried the NB's turbocharged finale into a second year with the same 178-hp, 166-lb-ft punch. A strengthened six-speed manual, Bosch torque-sensing limited-slip differential, higher-rate springs, Bilstein dampers, larger stabilizer bars, lowered suspension, and ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution made it far more than an engine upgrade. Redesigned 17-by-7-inch Racing Hart wheels wore 205/40R17 Toyo Proxes R28 tires.

Reliable drift car for two seasons, running a Joe's intake and upgraded intercooler, 640 cc injectors, and a larger fuel pump; dyno-tuned to about 201 whp.
