$200 Mazda Miata Project - Ep.31 First Drive!!

[@deadpedalgarage6457]

Man, I'm sorry to hear that free engine ended up costing you more than if you'd sourced one locally. That's a bummer, but I'm glad to see you guys driving the Miata around! I can't wait to see what paint you guys go with.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Dude, please. We can't thank you enough for donating the engine. Hey, the bottom end is working fine!! Lol. I don't know that I could find a stock 1.8 for $600. They have gone through the roof from what I hear. The head that we installed was fresh from the machine shop with upgraded springs and I think cams from a 99 and up Miata. Either way, thanks so much for being part of the build and I can't wait to bring it up to GA so you can see it!

[@KellyWalksPlaces]

Thank you so much for the engine!! You’re a part of this build and we couldn’t have done it without you.

[@cristhainreyes2733]

So happy for you guys. Its awsome to see you guys driving the Miata.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks Cristhain!! Can't wait to go driving with you and you son in that Civic!

[@jerrynickell3613]

So awesome to have it on the road! You are encouraging me to get my engine together and on the road. Thanks for you work!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Nice! Get it done!

[@tiago32fcp]

It’s alive! Yeah 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 awesome work, loved all your Miata videos

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yes! Thank you!

[@JC-hx6md]

...it's not bad, dude thanks for taking the gem out of the donut! Man 128.6 hp is awesome!! It's badass to see you guys driving around with the top down. It's gnarly that you had to redo so much to get it running but it's paid off, the "Miata getting sprayed" episode will no doubt be epic! Great way to start the year, cheers!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yeah, I'm super happy with the power numbers. 130 would have been nice, but it's fine for now. We can't wait to get it painted. Thanks for always watching, JC!!

[@jfrank8348]

Don't feel bad Kelly, I have 2 female friends that bought new cars with manual trans and taught both of them in about an hour. Have fun!

[@kevintoepper7640]

Good to see you guys driving that thing I know it's been a long time in the process.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yes it has. Thanks for following along and supporting the channel!

[@ZeeCayPeeA]

Great to see the Miata rolling. Save those pop ups. Just got our first 1990 NA 4 months ago. Love the car. Keep up the great content.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! Will do!

[@douglasshinne8007]

Congratulation for your perfect restoration and first drive! far from S. Korea. 완전한 복원과 첫 드라이브를 축하합니다. 멀리 한국으로 부터.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you and thanks for supporting the channel!!

[@soundboydesign1373]

Happy new year you guys! Sweet!! If relay and fuses good, not burnt out, and circuit board has no cracked solders...but non operational...you already know the answer...bad ground... kelly , youll learn stick in a day... car sounds good, nice hp/ torque numbers...lookin forward to full paint job! Nice to see the lude! Keep turning that wrench...one love (playas!)

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Someone else mentioned a possible bad ground too. We'll check it out. Thanks for always watching!

[@soundboydesign1373]

Yup, i added roof hooks on jeep...1 of them extended in too far...touched back of interior light housing...shorted out all interior lighting...figured n fixed...you know the drill...think on how that system works, seperate it from everything else in your mind, start the diagnosis...youll find it!

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Happy for you guys!! Awesome team work and now it’s time to fix the small issues and enjoy the car

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That's the plan! Thanks for watching!

[@surasak_es335music6]

you guys are awesome saving it and put it back on the road hat off

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!!

[@williamolar9396]

good video. nice work. engine sounds good.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Check your fuses under the hood on the right side of the engine bay.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you. We did. Everything is there. Thanks for watching!

[@JesusHernandez-ve4rg]

Muchas felicidades han echo un excelente trabajo!!! Me encanta su canal... Sigan adelanté!!! ✌🏼

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Muchas gracias!!!

[@carsmetology8489]

Woot woot! All the things that went wrong just makes for great learning experience and great memories that you’ll talk about for years. Try to make out the Ace Cafe meet in Orlando on the 31st!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

We have already marked it on out calendar! See you there!

[@oriontobin7603]

LETS GOO!!!!!

[@stantheman5163]

Great dyno numbers if you ask me. Engine sounds strong too. I'm sure you'll hit your goal with a little more tinkering. Advance the timing a little more and premium fuel perhaps. I haven't watched all the vids yet so it's all in the future for me right now.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

We have a Skunk2 intake and larger throttle body in the garage ready to be installed. I think we'll hit our number 😉

[@stantheman5163]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Oh, most definitely with those upgrades! I have the Skunk2 shifter knob, but no high performance goodies. I like the car stock, but with good suspension so I can redline it all day every day and not get any speeding tickets. LOL. I truly miss my 911, but you can't wring it out in town like you can the Miata. If you make it look too fun then I might have to reconsider my position. 🤔

[@cavanblack]

You guys are role models.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you! We try! Thanks for watching!

[@xarzznb1]

damn i would love a 200 miata even if it was a shell but everything in florida is super expensive

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Not everything! Thanks for watching!

[@MrBetonator]

Brandon is there ANYTHING you have leftover from the XB that youd be willing to sell??

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Nothing worth anything.

[@evanspohn9924]

Hey y’all, I seen the exhaust video and now this one and it’s hard to get a good feel on the exhaust note, I have a manzo and I’m trying to tone it down a bit but I also have the raceland header, she drone at all or get obnoxious at a certain RPM?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Ours doesn't drone at all, and drone does not come from the header, it's all about the exhaust. You can install a secondary muffler (I did a video on it for my Prelude just search the channel) or you can add a resonator. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@jig-jigadventures3177]

Congrats!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!!

[@mikeyrozell5627]

So how did the crank saver go?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Great!! No issues to report! Thanks for following up!

[@andrewrodriguez7745]

LIFE!!!

[@frankrhodes5689]

Miata= labor intensive...... or is it blood sweat and tears? She sounds really nice! Keep with it, the end is in sight.

[@vaspid3708]

I got mine 4 months ago a 94 Miata automatic for 300. About how much have y’all paid for everything to get it running?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

We haven't tallied it up yet, but it's over $5k. Thanks for watching.

[@sk8rfiero]

So the Prelude is 146H/152T compared to the Miata 127H/115T . Given the Miata is approx 500lbs lighter. Which one feels more powerful based on "butt dyno"?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

The Lude is a completely different animal. It's a beast compared to the Miata in every way. The Miata is great, but it makes me appreciate the Prelude even move.

[@JC-hx6md]

First for 2022!! New year XD nation!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Winner!!!

[@Gobux1972]

In the first few videos, you were keeping a running tally of money spent. So what is the final figure?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It's not finished yet! We still have to paint it!! A total tally video will be coming. Thanks for watching!

[@kevintoepper7640]

I miss the Scion videos though

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Go watch em!

[@CommentingTheTruth]

Let me guess, It's the Miata's fault the crap oreily alternator went out?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It was just a weak battery.

[@scarface8806]

Don’t the 1.8 make around 130-133 HP stock?! Is he comparing the 1.6 numbers? Think he’s exaggerating the Mega Squirt.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

The Dyno numbers are measured at the wheels. The 1.8 hp numbers you mentioned are measured at the crank. Typically you will lose about 30% of your power at the wheels. So when the manufacturer says it's got 135 HP, it's really more like 105 at the wheels. Dyno numbers always give the real HP/Torq numbers.
