BBR gives MX-5 235 bhp
The Mazda MX-5 is a great little sports car, but the most powerful version currently available features a 2.0 litre engine with a fairly modest 158 bhp (118 kW / 160 PS).
For those who think that that’s not enough, tuner BBR has got together with Cosworth Engineering to provide a fix.
Their solution is to attach a fourth generation Eaton MP62 supercharger, which lifts power by almost 50% to 235 bhp (175 kW / 238 PS), while torque rises from 188 Nm (138 lb/ft) to 257 Nm (190 lb/ft). That puts the BBR-Cosworth MX-5 right on a par with competitors such as the £33,870 Mercedes-Benz SLK 300.
However, the conversion consists of more than just the supercharger. To help the engine breathe better, a Cosworth inlet manifold housing is fitted, together with high-flow calibrated injectors, air box and air filter.
Managing everything is a BBR Auxiliary Interceptor 2010 engine control unit, which has 3-D mapping and a MAP sensor. An air to water intercooler is also included in the package, and competition-grade hoses and fixings are used throughout.
The finishing touches are the BBR-Cosworth identification badges, which are the only external clue to the under-bonnet transformation.
The BBR-Cosworth Mazda MX-5 supercharger upgrade is priced at £4,995.00, including installation by BBR. Kits will also be made available for DIY fitting.

DJ Douggpound - Pound It
Before we go any further, as far as I'm aware this album is only available for purchase on the Tim and Eric tour. If it's available elsewhere please let me know because I will remove the link for download immediately. That said, Douggpound's own site doesn't have it for sale so I figured it was safe to put this up so people could check it out. Regardless, Douggpound, if you're reading this and want it taken down, just say the word and it's done.
Doug Lussenhop, better known as DJ Douggpound, is a writer and editor for Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! but also a musician. Okay, kinda a musician. A DJ maybe? Uh, all I know is he's funny as hell. He's got a recurring role on Awesome Show in a segment called the Poundcast which follows his misadventures and includes very odd attempts at hip-hop and remixes. You could say he's a mash-up artist though his stuff sounds nothing like Girl Talk or anyone else for that matter. If you didn't know his tracks were meant to be funny you'd probably assume he was talentless, but you've gotta be real good to be this bad! All the cliches of bad hip-hop mixtapes like annoying catchphrases, overused samples and things that get in the way of the tracks are present, as well as lots of old rave and house music beats and the cheesiest samples you've ever heard. Ever thought about taking the chorus from The Who's Who Are You, speeding it up and having a program beat-match it to a house beat? Douggpound did and the results are embarrassing, hilarious and strangely captivating. Most of these tracks also start as bad jokes before being molded into bad remixes. It's really brilliant in a demented way, leaving you oddly entertained and coming back for more.
If you go see Tim and Eric live you should pick this up. It'd be great if Douggpound would put out more discs because I'd make sure to pick them up. Mash-ups are supposed to be fun and artists like Girl Talk understand that, but there is a weird amount of hipster angst surrounding people who try to make it a bigger deal than it is. Douggpound rips those hipsters a new one and makes it okay to laugh while doing so. Check out his official website and twitter page and buy this if you get a chance. This is some seriously silly shit!
