2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club BBR | Canyon Carving First Impressions

[@willw1564]

One simple mod to get more induction note into the cabin is to modify the sound tube, a device Mazda uses to channel induction noise into the cabin. If you look at some tutorials, you’ll see that it’s quite effective.

[@Kraize92]

ND3 has a different sound tube. I personally deleted mine to add the Verus AOS.

[@jim1013yyf]

yep sound tube mod is one of the best thing you can do to the car..don't really need aftermarket exhaust after that

[@theretoocs]

Nice review! I have a 2022 Miata, in GT mode. I didn’t think the upgrade package was worth the extra expense. The standard seats are excellent, and keep in mind that the Brembo brakes are on front only. It’s not a 4 calliper system. Standard brakes on rear wheels.

[@rembo183]

2023 Basic GT RF with no mods in Soul Red was my choice. Cost was $35 MSRP. No need or desire to upgrade or mod based on normal driving after one year of ownership. It’s not my daily just therapeutic device for lots of weekends!😊

[@mystictrunks5508]

I have an almost stock nd2 excited to see what you do to it

[@ag4allgood]

Nice road to drive on. So hard to find anything like that by me. Also the leaves falling constantly make the turns even trickier here in the Midwest. Also its heavier than 2200 pounds. 2365 I think was the weight I saw but have not taken my 2024 Club with the sport package to a scale drive on scale yet. Got it in the snowflake white metallic instead. At 5'10" the view thru the windshield is perfect.

[@maoyangwang5732]

I just got mine too! Exactly the same color and trim as yours. Awesome car!!!! I’m 6’2 I can still fit in there lol ❤

[@adamlaplante148]

Thanks for your comment, I'm 6'3" and really want a Miata

[@Mx5pro]

I learned how to drive manual in my 22 nd rf. But i realized the nd would never cut it on straight away so ended up buying 21 sti manual as my 2nd car now everyday is exciting rotation between the 2 cars

[@maranca207]

bbr is a miata parts brand from uk(turbo,exhausts etc)

[@Throttle.Monkey]

Be sure to check out the sound tube modification, kinda gives a ITB/VTEC sound for very little cost.

[@dietrichwagner]

The sound tube in ND3 is little bit different from previous models, new tubes etc. so I don’t think the sound tube kits people sell (Dave does it) will fit ND3 plug and play.

[@Throttle.Monkey]

@@dietrichwagner from what I’ve read the sound tube is different but the diameter of each end remains the same, in theory the kits being sold should fit. I’ll know in the next few weeks on mine.

[@sunnyvalentino]

​@@Throttle.Monkey, I noticed a subtle but lovely induction sound on my ND3. Then got the Goodwin Race exhaust and now cant hear it anymore 🤣

[@dietrichwagner]

@@sunnyvalentino Yes, driving ND3 with the stereo off, you can in fact hear the induction sound pretty good. But we need more sound..

[@J.I.R.A]

Any updates on if the sound tube delete kits work on the ND3? ​@Throttle.Monkey

[@JesseVideos]

I have been considering upgrading the suspension on my ND2 but mostly drive on canyons like the road you are on and have come to really appreciate how the stock suspension is set up for that exact scenario.

[@lucasgomide3369]

Check the Paco Motorsport seat lowering brackets. They will give a little more run in the cabin. I have one on mine and like it a lot.

[@Cruiser203]

I have a red club as well from 2016, but for some reason it doesn’t have the bbs wheels, I think the first owner sold it 😢

[@fernandoguerrero5333]

Dr. Jubbal! It's time to get a full exhaust from Good-Win Racing and tune 😁

[@BMWWolf]

No tune necessary

[@dougmaverick3287]

Have you decided what aftermarket exhaust you're going to go with on your new Miata?

[@DriverMD23]

I picked up mine three days ago and at 200 miles. Maybe another 50 later on today. What oil did you go with for your first oil change after break in?

[@L96A1BM]

how are you able to add the side skirts on? On Mazda site once you add the Brembo/BBS RECARO Package you cant add the side skirts

[@jubbalandcars]

The car is totally stock with no added options apart from Club BBR package

[@snowboard57]

The side skirts (or side sill extensions as Mazda calls them) come with the brembo/bbs/recaro package along with the rear bumper skirt. If you click on “read more” that’s listed beside the price of the package on their website when you go to add it on the build configuration, it’ll list the parts as part of the “Aero Kit”.

[@sdlausen1]

This or an s2000?

[@edwinot]

35th anniversary color will be Artisan red and will probably end up replacing SoulRed Metallic. They are very similar, but SRM looks better IMOH. If Sould red disappear it will be worth holding on to.

[@blurayffan66]

...what makes you say Soul Red Metallic will disappear- I have not read, or heard, anything about this iconic color going away....???

[@edwinot]

@@blurayffan66 It’s rumors accompanying the 35th anniversary launch. I hope it does not happen. But both colors are fairly similar and very hard to make. In my opinion, would be hard to justify having both. Hopefully rumors are false.

[@blurayffan66]

@@edwinot I hope they keep both... and I do not think they look similar at all. Just my 2 cents 🤙

[@davidhunternyc1]

Great review. Do you wish you would've gotten the RF model or are you perfectly happy with the soft top? I too am excited to see the British Racing Green version. My two biggest complaints about the Miata is, even with advancements with CAD programs, interior space is way too cramped for me, at 6 feet tall. Sitting in the passenger seat is impossible. Mazda has to fix this in their next iteration but they must *NOT* make the car any bigger or heavier. Also, I hate the infotainment screen plopped on top of the dash. It's always in your face and you cannot ignore it. It's like scratching on a chalkboard. Mazda must integrate the infotainment screen into the dash. For instance, the infotainment screen in the instrument cluster on the Audi TT is perfect. Mazda must use the TT for inspiration. The Miata has always been about refinement. No excuses Mazda. Honda and Toyota has fallen off the turnip truck. Whistles and bells and chimes and beeps everywhere, like a video game arcade. It's awful. Mazda is the only premium, no compromise Japanese car in the world right now. Keep it simple. Refine. Refine. Refine. How do you improve a spoon?

[@kgm5330]

I’m 6’1”. The first couple times sitting in an ND2, I thought it seemed almost too cramped, in either the soft top or RF, especially having owned an NC1 and NC2. In 2020 I purchased an ND2 GT RF after a few track drives because there were some aftermarket seat brackets that work well. Before even breaking in the car, however, I fully adjusted to the car. I can get completely comfortable for even long drives. There’s even room for a helmet, no problem. The cabin holds you in place much better for spirited driving. The NC models now feel too spacious, and I have to use my legs more to hold myself in place in stock seats, unlike the ND models. I never swapped out the brackets. I’m guessing at 6’+ proportions come into play, but I think most people under 6’2” will find that an ND can work just fine with a little time behind the wheel without swapping out the seat brackets. But on a test drive this might not be obvious.

[@matthewmiller8105]

I don’t think anyone’s cracked the ND3 ECU for tunes yet and there’s worry it might not be possible with the enhanced security of the ND3 ECU…

[@axelfiraxa]

this is true. I wanted to get the BBR220 kit for my ND3 but they explicitly state that it is not and possibly might never become available.

[@Quash41]

Fab9 is working on an ND3 flash with versatune

[@petermartin9494]

3rd gear should be a bit shorter than it is. If it was a little shorter it would be perfect for canyons. It seems to me like 2nd is too short and 3rd is too long.

“Special edition that’s coming out next year”? What do you know that the rest of us don’t?

35th Anniversaey edition was announced earlier this week, and was hinted at months ago. Looks like I was wrong about BRG though

Your video’s thumbnail reads: “When Miata isn’t always the answer” yet the video itself is overall praising the vehicle and we don’t end up with what you meant in the thumbnail at all. So why did you put it there??

Jeeeez! You sniffed out my secret backroad near my neighborhood 😠 Please don’t overshare !! 🙏 I’m there maybe twice a week in one of the cars. (did you at least enjoy a nice hike or picnic at the ‘end’? 😉)

[@jubbalandcars]

Lol it's no secret. These are some of the most popular and recommended roads in the region. They were the first roads I started exploring in the area with my FRS 10+ years ago

[@pushslice]

@@jubbalandcars Be vigilant when in that area. not on that specific road, but once you’re on the bigger road it dumps into . There have been several on-road juggings there over the past couple of years. If I’m in the Miata, I get the top back up before leaving the road. (although I’m usually just wearing like a 6R-based Prospex for such romps).
