If you have the complete set of gear I can't see why you couldn't fit ABS to a NA.

Mx5 mania's 2 race car uses them,it prevent's locking up under hard braking going into the corners, on normal mx5 maybe you don't need it, but 6.0 V8 powered ones i do think it would help

Actually only one of the Mania cars has ABS the gold car doesn't...definitely worth doing if you have all the bits...Steven Heads NA race car was fitted with ABS out of a NB8A...the wiring bit was done by Daniel Deckers...he loves it.
NC Roadie, NC Racey, ND Racey….and a 30AE

You're building a V8 MX-5?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
