Advice for potentially new buyer

Hi all  first post  and looking for some advice really, appolagies if it’s been asked before but just trying to get my head around things.

Maybe looking at pushing the button on a new or nearly new MK4 and really like the 30th Anniversary model that most dealers have in at the moment, seems a lot of car for the money. I am concerned that the 2.0 L will not be quick enough for me having come from much higher hp cars, so are there any tunning companys out there that could give me more BHP ? 

If I went for a slightly older car to get to similar spec as an Anniversary what models or specs would you recommend.

In 2012 I used to own a 53 plate 2.5 Angel’s and it rusted very badly sills, arches, inner wings etc has rust been addressed now ? 

I really need to have a test drive out but been so wet today was not the day. 

Thanks

For MX5 performance upgrades take a look at these people.

It was Colin Chapman that said -

More power will make you faster on the straights, less weight will make you faster everywhere.

I’ve had more powerful cars than all my MX-5s but never more fun.
