First person I have ever heard lol at 390bhp! It's not just about the power though that Mondeo would seriously shift especially with the all wheel drive conversion. And I'm guessing your daily diesel is something like a 330d etc and your Cruiser is an old muscle car of some kind that both cost far more to buy and maintain.
500bhp for less than £10k

Audi A6 2.7 twin turbo+a bunch of mods should get you 500 bhp for 10k.
So yours is a 1.8 then? I see some of the early models are 1.6 engines.
In your experience is there any common issues to look out for when buying an MX5? id be looking around 1998 sub £2K? would that be a good starting point?
Sorry for all the questions
it depends what you want to spend really but if you stretch your budget out you can get a mk3, it has the ford duratec engine in which is good as standard for mid 300's. mine is currently running 276bhp and a hoot to drive ! most mk2 mx5's are hanging by now. but if you do go the earlier route make sure you get a pre vvt model (pre 2001). The vvt engine does not take as well to being boosted as the earlier non vvt

When I similar combination of parts on say a 1JZ would be producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 600bhp, 390 is a bit lol
