For the 2001 model year, a facelift to the second-generation MX-5 was released. There were some minor exterior changes, with a press-release of July 18, 2000, announcing the changes as "resulting in an even sportier and more forceful look". Fog lamps, previously an option, were made standard. The headlamps now featured projector style low beams and separate high beam lenses. The rear turn signals lamps were changed from amber to clear to make the car look more modern. Some cockpit elements were changed, the most notable being the redesigned center console, and the instrument panel gauges received a white face and red numbers from the previous black and blue. The seats were also upgraded, incorporating more support in the side bolsters and taller headrests. Added for top models (designated 'Sport' in the U.K) were wheels with 205/45VR16 low-profile tires, larger brakes at the front and rear, additional chassis stiffening braces, a limited-slip differential, a 6-speed manual transmission, Bilstein suspension and leather seats. The upgraded tires and suspension allowed the new model to pull 0.91 g in lateral grip in tests by "Car and Driver" magazine. The body was strengthened, gaining 16% in bending rigidity and 22% in torsional rigidity. With the minimum of options, the 2001 model weighed .

The BP6D engine was slightly modified and now featured variable valve timing on the intake camshaft. The intake and exhaust system also received a minor upgrade. These modifications resulted in a power output of (Japan, UK and Australia) or (US only). In the United States, Mazda erroneously quoted the power figure for the Japanese and Australian model in early catalogues. "Car and Driver" magazine and numerous owners confirmed the missing power, and Mazda offered to buy back the 2001 cars due to those misleading power claims. Owners who did not take up the buy back offer were offered an apology and free servicing for the warranty period.

2002 saw the launch of the MX-5 SP. The MX-5 SP was developed and sold in Australia and its turbocharged engine produced at 6,800 rpm. Only 100 of these cars were built. The SP was very expensive in comparison to a standard MX-5 at the time but offered blistering performance. It has fast become a cult classic and sought after model in Australia.

In 2003 Mazda launched a campaign to target a younger group of drivers with the introduction of the Shinsen Version (SV) Miata. The Shinsen (Japanese for "Fresh and New") provided an intermediate step between the base model and the pricier LS. Equipped with most standard features on the LS, such as cruise control and aluminum brush trim. This limited production model also shared an inverted color scheme of the same year Special Edition with a titanium silver exterior and dark blue top and interior.

The 2003 Miata Club Sport (MCS) was a special edition MX-5 NB limited to 50 units (25 soft-tops and 25 hardtops with no soft-tops) at the behest of the SCCA. The MCS was stripped of all interior features such as power windows and air conditioning, with the intent to run on SCCA Solo or SCCA Road Racing events.

Also in 2003, a division of Mazda in Japan released the Roadster Coupé, with a fixed hardtop roof. The body structure was reworked to incorporate the roof and gave a substantial increase in chassis rigidity with a weight increase of . Production was limited to 179 units for Japan only, making this one of the rarest forms of the MX-5.

The 2004 model year saw the introduction of the official turbocharged Mazdaspeed MX-5, Roadster Turbo in Japan. It featured an IHI RHF5 VJ35 turbocharger equipped variant of the BP-4W Inline-four engine that produced at 6,000 rpm and of torque at 4,500 rpm with a front-mounted air-to-air intercooler. The Mazdaspeed could reach in 6.7 seconds and had a top speed of - limited due to reaching its 6,500 rpm rev limiter. With its upgraded Bilstein shock absorbers and wider tires, the Mazdaspeed model could pull over 0.98 g in lateral grip. Other features included an upgraded 6-speed transmission and clutch assemblies, upgraded drivetrain components, Racing Hart 17" (430 mm) alloy wheels and special interior trim. The 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 was only available in Velocity Red Mica and Titanium Gray Metallic for the US market and Velocity Red Mica for the Canadian market while the 2005 model was available additionally in Lava Orange Mica and Black Mica in the US market, with Canada receiving only Titanium Grey Mica. Of the 5,428 Mazdaspeed MX-5s produced for the US market during model years 2004 and 2005, 4,000 were produced in 2004; the 2005 production run was shortened to only 1,428 due to a fire at the production facility. The other markets are not included in these totals; Canada received only 53 of its allotment. This model was also marketed in Australia as an MX-5 SE without any Mazdaspeed branding (exhaust tip excluded), featured 3.63 diff gears and was available in Sunlight Silver as well as Velocity Red Mica, Titanium Gray Metallic and Black Mica for 2005. It was also slightly de-tuned with only . Boost pressure was for the Australian model vs of the North American and Japanese models, explaining the power difference. The MX-5 SE has been used for both gravel and tarmac rallying in Australia, showing the versatility of these cars in racing.

The Euro NCAP Safety Ratings for MX-5s manufactured in 2002 were given 4 out of 5 stars for adult protection but only 1 out of 4 stars for pedestrian protection.

EuroNCAP stated: "This is a poor performance despite the MX-5 benefiting from not having to have the leading edge of its bonnet tested because of its low profile."

The Mazda MX-5 NB was used as one the hero cars in the 1998 TV series "V.I.P."

The Low Moor Explosion was a fire and a series of explosions at a munitions factory in Low Moor, Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire in August 1916. The factory was manufacturing picric acid to be used as an explosive for the First World War effort and was well alight when the Bradford Fire Brigade arrived. A massive explosion and a series of smaller ones killed 40 people including on-site workers, a railwayman and six firemen who had attended the fire from the Odsal and Nelson Street fire stations.

The investigation after the event initially focussed suspicion on some Belgian workers at the plant, who were accused of having German sympathies. This was refuted completely with the cause being determined as poor storage of materials on site allowing for combustion. The disaster wasn't widely reported at the time due to reporting restrictions. Similar blanket bans on reporting these incidents affected other factories that suffered disasters such as the Ellisons plant in Heckmondwike in 1914 and the Barnbow plant in Leeds later in 1916.

A monument to the dead firefighters was unveiled at Scholemoor Cemetery in Bradford in 1924, but the workers from the plant did not have a dedication to them until the 100-year anniversary in 2016, when a plaque was unveiled near to the former plant on the Spen Valley Greenway.

The factory was originally a plant that made chemicals for dyeing under the name Low Moor Chemical Company (LMCC). When the company was started in the latter half of the 19th century, Bradford was a world leader in textile production and the LMCC produced dyestuffs for companies around the Bradford area. The company had applied to produce picric acid in 1898, some 16 years before the outbreak of the First World War. Its strong yellow colour was perfect for dyeing carpets. A variant of picric acid had been tested by the British Army at Lydd in 1888 and was known as "Lyddite".

During the First World War, many factories like Low Moor were converted to producing shells, explosive or components for the war effort, especially during the Shell Crisis of 1915. As Low Moor Chemical Company was already producing picric acid, it was taken over by the Ministry of Munitions and renamed as "Factory No, 182, Yorkshire." Before the First World War, the LMCC was producing an average of of acid per week; by the time of the explosion two years later, the plant was producing nearly per week and was listed as being an important supplier of picric acid for the war effort. The plant was connected by rail to the local network of lines between Bradford and Halifax and was in close proximity of another dye works, the Low Moor Ironworks and the Bradford Corporations' Gasworks.

The production plant and the magazine storage for the picric acid had been increased exponentially due to the war effort. As up until the outbreak of the war, the production at the plant was safe and so licences to increase production were granted without investigation. Six months before the explosion at the works, numerous small fires broke out in the magazines, which were ignored, presumably because production was of paramount importance. On the day of the explosion, 21 August 1916, the works had a complement of about 250 staff, although there were about 30 absentees, mostly Belgian refugees. At around 2:25 pm, one of the workers was moving open drums from a rail wagon to one of the magazines. There are conflicting accounts from eyewitnesses about what happened next, but a fire started in one of the magazines which resulted in an explosion that threw the worker there onto the ground. A series of smaller explosions rocked the plant, and the fires were initially tackled by the on-site fire brigade, but the fire service from Odsal and at Bradford Nelson Street were mobilised to the site with eighteen City of Bradford firefighters.

At 3:16 pm, a huge explosion rocked the site which killed six of the fire-fighters and destroyed their fire engine, pieces of which were found at Heckmondwike railway station several miles away. Chief Fire Officer Scott was wounded and unconscious, he was pulled away from the fire by his deputy, Superintendent Forbes. Forbes later returned for many of his colleagues and took them to safety, before collapsing himself. The explosion caused flying debris to puncture one of the gas holders nearby which caused a greater explosion as of gas ignited, the heat of which could be felt over a away. Eyewitnesses describe the gas holder collapsing like a "deflated balloon" and workers from the site fleeing with bleached hair and yellowed skin from being covered in picric acid. The exploding gas created a fireball that could be seen as far away as York, whilst the sound carried for well over a . By 6:00 pm, most of the packing sheds were alight or had exploded and significant damage had been caused to the nearby ironworks, dye works, the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway lines (including rolling stock) and the gasworks had been completely destroyed. All in all, there had been over 20 explosions on the first day and the fires were not fully extinguished until three days later. By the fourth day after the fire, twenty bodies had been recovered.

Over 2,000 homes in the local area had been damaged and all houses within a radius had their windows shattered with 50 of them so badly damaged that they needed to be demolished. The explosions also damaged the local railway network destroying 30 wagons and damaging 100 more. One of the dead was a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Fire Brigade fireman, Henry Richard Tunks, who had been engaged in trying to extinguish property belonging to the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway that was on fire as a result of the blast. The signaller in the signal box controlling the railway lines to the east, managed to get all his signals to red and escape the signal-box before it was destroyed.

The dead were variously said to have numbered between 34 and 39, but an updated tally states that 40 is the correct number. Some of the six dead firemen had to be identified by the numbers on their axes. 35 of the dead had their bodies recovered from the site, but five others died elsewhere as a result of the injuries they sustained at Low Moor. The plant's manager, John Majerus, was engaged early on with helping to fight the fire. Between 5:00 and 6:00 pm, he was found crawling around the wreckage on his hands and knees, but only slightly injured. He died at his home in nearby Wyke that same night. Bodies found at the site were housed in a temporary mortuary set in up the school on New Works Road in Low Moor.

One reason for the inaccurate tally is that of one unidentified worker, so the named dead totalled 39, but the number of bodies was 40. A local group of historians in Low Moor (Low Moor History Group) has tentatively identified the unnamed man as Thomas Woodfine, who was single and from Kent. No-one saw him leave, and his whereabouts after the event were not accounted for, so the group think he is the last unidentified body. Similar disasters befell other plants such as Barnbow, Faversham and Chilwell, which like Low Moor, all had the same low-key press coverage because of the war effort and the effect on morale, with the Ministry of Munitions classifying the event as "war-sensitive". All in all, around 600 people died during accidents in munitions factories during the 1914–1918 period. Some have argued that had the disaster occurred during peacetime, the reporting would have been more in-depth and far-reaching. A report in the "Yorkshire Observer" two days later (23 August 1916) stated; In the same issue, the main news report was the death of some 2,588 officers and men killed at the Battle of the Somme.

Estimations of injuries were conservatively placed at 100 people with 60 being serious injuries including the twelve firefighters who survived the 3:16 pm explosion. A bride who had just stepped out of the church after her wedding service was lacerated by flying glass. Other accounts of injuries range to higher numbers because of the damage caused many miles away by the explosions.

Four days after the disaster, questions were raised in Parliament about why the location, number of dead and cause had not been mentioned either in government circles or the press. Dr Christopher Addison, the director of the Ministry of Munitions, replied that they had only located so many bodies and that investigations into the cause were ongoing. The issue was raised in Parliament several times in the latter half of 1916, but the location was never revealed. Many of the subsequent exchanges in the House of Commons were about how people could claim compensation and if the process could be speeded up. It was during these exchanges that Dr Addison revealed that the works were not part of the official Ministry of Munitions, but they belonged to a "Joint Stock Company".

An investigation, authorised by the Secretary of State to be carried out by Major Cooper-Key, an explosives inspector, was started soon afterwards and labelled "Accident 379/1916". It revealed that the company was storing twice the amount of picric acid than it was licensed for. This investigation was used during the coroners' inquest into the disaster held in Bradford Town Hall in September of the same year. The issue of the missing Belgians and a sabotage plot was investigated carefully, and the Belgians were all asked to account for their absenteeism on the day. All could give satisfactory explanations for their whereabouts on the day and the jury decided that the disaster was an accident, though they did produce a small note indicating that the company should have been storing their goods properly. The fire was most probably started by the ignition of iron picrate which was on the top of the drums.

Correspondence between the clerk of the coroners' court and Cooper-key details how the company was criticised for not using a rubber loading platform and just removing the drums straight from wagons onto the stone floor. The company employees were also not using special overboots to prevent sources of ignition. The drums containing the acid were not covered over in good weather; the covers should have been applied whatever the circumstances to prevent dust and hot clinker being able to come into contact with the product and cause ignition (the nearby buildings were heated by open coal fires).

In 1919, 29 brand new houses were built in First Street in Low Moor to allow some of the displaced families to take up a new home.

Another chemical plant, Allied Colloids, that was situated very close to the site of the Low Moor Chemical Company, suffered a severe fire in 1992.

The site of the works is now a landfill that has since been landscaped, but when it was first dug out, the digging crew found cellars from houses that had been destroyed in the original explosion.

The City of Bradford awarded 40 medals out to those who had tried to stop the explosions. Most were handed out to the eighteen firefighters who attended on the day and the commonly became known as the "Low Moor Medal".

In March 1917, Superintendent Forbes was awarded the Albert Medal by King George V at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace. Forbes' quick reactions after the explosion saved the lives of many and he also rescued several colleagues including a senior fire officer. He collapsed after driving a fire engine away from the flames. Forbes' role in the explosion wasn't fully discovered until the 21st century when historians were looking into the subject. This is possibly because he and his family emigrated to Australia in the 1920s and he stopped attending memorial services.

In March 1924, a memorial was erected near to the graves of the six dead firemen in Scholemoor Cemetery in Bradford. Due to vandalism, this was moved in 2003 to the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service headquarters at Birkenshaw after serving firemen raised £25,000 for its refurbishment and re-location. In 2019, the memorial was listed as a grade II structure.

There was no memorial to the other 34 people who were killed in the explosion, but on the 100 year anniversary of the disaster, a metal plaque commemorating all 40 victims was affixed to the firefighters memorial after a short service of thanksgiving. The Low Moor History Group paid for the plaque and researched all the dead as wartime reporting restrictions meant that not all of the dead had been identified. These were listed on the plaque as 28 workers from the plant, the six firefighters, three workers from Sharps Dyeworks, a policeman, a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway fireman and a member of the public. The plaque is on a boulder that is on the Spen Valley Greenway; a cycle path that runs between Bradford and Dewsbury and passes the site of the chemical works at Low Moor.

Frances Brody, a former resident of Wibsey in Bradford, penned a novel entitled ""Dying in the Wool"" which has the 1916 explosion at Low Moor as a backstory.

Lila Amdurska Wallis, M.D. is board-certified in internal medicine, hematology, and endocrinology/metabolism; the only doctor in the United States to be board-certified in all three specialties. Wallis developed a new methodology to safer gynecological examinations for patients that became the nationally accepted model throughout medical schools in the United States. Additionally, she founded and became the first president of the National Council on Women's Health, and created the Office of Women in Medicine at the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in 1982.

Dr. Wallis was born in Grodno, Poland in 1921 and initially began her studies at the University of Stefan Batory in Winlo, Poland. Her education in Poland was cut short following the German invasion during WWII. At 18 years old, she worked alongside the Polish as a nurse in a field hospital in the fight against the Nazis. Along with her interest in science fueled by role model Maria Sklodowska-Curie, the experience of providing underground medical aide to rural populations in Poland during the war solidified her desire to pursue medicine.

After coming to the United States, Wallis graduated from Barnard College with a B.A. in Chemistry in 1947. She then earned her M.D. at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1951. Her postgraduate residency training in internal medicine was done at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center, where she specialized in hematology and endocrinology/metabolism. Following the completion of her residency in 1956, she established her own internal medicine practice in New York where she practiced for 40 years.

Dr. Wallis has commonly been known as "the godmother of women's health". In 1979, Wallis along with two women from the Boston Women's Health Book Collective developed a new method of gynecological examinations that were less painful for patients. This method was implemented through the Teaching Associates Program at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and became the nationally accepted model at medical schools throughout the United States. Wallis additionally founded the Cornell Office of Women in Medicine to support the participation of women in medicine and science. In honor of her achievements, Cornell University Medical College established The Lila Wallis Visiting Professorship in Women's Health in 1987.

Beyond her involvement through Cornell, Wallis is the founding president of the National Council on Women's Health that aims to empower women to make informed decisions about their health by equipping them with necessary knowledge about their bodies. Wallis is also a former president of the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) from 1988-1989 and became the first director of AMWA regional conferences during her service. In 1990, a year after her resignation as president, she was the recipient of the highest award granted by AMWA, the Elizabeth Blackwell Medal. The American Medical Women's Association continued to honor Dr. Wallis by establishing the Lila A. Wallis Women's Health Award in 1998 dedicated to those whose achievements have influenced women's health.

Wallis has also been a former recipient of the Georgranna Seegar Jones Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Society for Advancement in Women's Health Research, the Warner-Lambert Company, and the National Health Council. She later went on to receive the Woman of the Century Award in Women's Health awarded by the Women's Medical Association of New York City. Two years later in 1996, Wallis was promoted to Mastership status within the American College of Physicians (ACP), and thereafter received the Laureate Award from the ACP. Dr. Wallis has thus far concluded her acknowledgements by being the recipient of the Dr. Virginia Kneeland Frantz Distinguished Woman in Medicine Award from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Dr. Wallis has written multiple books on women's health issues, endocrinology, and hematology; she is also the author of over 70 publications. She is especially recognized for having published the "Textbook of Women's Health" in 1998 for medical professionals as well as "The Whole Woman: Take Charge of Your Health in Every Phase of Your Life" in 1999 with co-author Marian Betancourt for non-professionals. Wallis has been a member of editorial boards for the "Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association, Journal of Women’s Health", Rodale Books on Women's Health, and the National Academy on Women's Health Medical Education.

Dr. Wallis's mother was a medical student as well, but was unable to finish medical school due to her marriage to Wallis's father that discouraged nontraditional female roles. Though her mother's career was cut short, Wallis was always still encouraged to pursue her passion for science and medicine. Her mother died in her early '50s of endometrial cancer after being placed on estrogen replacement therapy. This unopposed estrogen therapy was not paired with progesterone and is known to be associated with increasing the risk of endometrial cancer. Wallis associates her mother's death to the mistake of physicians that were inadequately informed regarding issues of women's health, which further fueled her pursuit of women's health issues.

Dr. Wallis is married to Dr. Benedict Wallis and the couple share two sons, both which also became physicians. She has also since become a grandmother.
