CAR CHECK! My Turbo Miata

This ain’t your grandma’s car... because it was mine!! This video is all about my turbocharged, 1.8 powered Miata that I got from her. I have built this thing to be what I think a Miata should be. It’s fun to drive, reliable, comfy. and fast. Take a look!

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Man those rear fenders are so clean

[@DylGon_K24]

Hi

[@lukeclark3623]

Fancy seeing you here

[@TomIsTerrible]

Idk if I've found a Miata video on YT that Craig hasn't already commented on...

[@miatafied]

@@TomIsTerrible Craig lol

[@Tonyk24]

Wild to think your grandma modded it a bit lol

[@lordperezident]

That's what I was thinking. That's a bad ass granny haha

[@zkipa]

now i wana know more about her. and the grandpa, whatd he drive? rad story and looks fun to drive

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

Wait she added the turbo upgrade?

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

@Kevin Sullivan 😂 😂

[@craigelmer9090]

Whoever the guy is that has been recording your videos, I like him, he's a good addition.

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

4:05 i love how chelsea so calmly putted thru a yellow light with a truck waitin to turn. Chelsea drives like hes from Wisconsin lmao that's how we are here. Very risky with lights lol

[@chelseadenofa]

I made that light by a mile tho. Also it’s a 35mph

[@fencoflex5089]

“Spit on it” sent me 😭😭

[@BAKAMAKAMEDIA]

Saw the Demon Cambers. Thats a HARRRRRRRRD Flex

[@Rotard-mb5ys]

Our Miatas are very near the same. Very cool. We've not had time to do a turbo setup, so it's just exhaust intake cam 1.8. We have bc ds, Paco rear uppers to help with the rear end issues and alignment, Paco strong arms which I highly recommend for you, Paco master cylinder brace which I also recommend for you if it'll work with the turbo setup, eibach sway bars, super Miata street alignment, Nittos, and just reliability mods that I'm to lazy to type out. Good stuff man! Same same but different. Fun cars!

[@gregorment9524]

I always enjoy watching your content Chelsea, greetings from Slovakia :)

[@lordperezident]

Shoutout Slovakia

[@thedragonkiller8432]

Love the build! But a tip to keep from going through engines would be a coolant reroute!

[@HarukanoF20C]

It's been 30+ years since this car has been out. NOBODY has been able to provide actual temperature evidence "AKA internal block probes measuring temperatures at each cylinder". "My temperatures dropped!" Yeah cause u replaced the thermostat, new coolant and a radiator at the same time

[@user-st8ny6pi2d]

@@HarukanoF20C Lmao I love how aggressive this post is. Agree the coolant re-route is not necessary.

[@ayyygordo7484]

So clean! Wish my 96 was as clean as this thing but I’m in the process so hopefully at some point as long as it doesn’t get too messed up from drifting since it’s my learning to drift car.

[@1990Redline]

That's a REALLY cool car dude! You and you're wife got some really nice taste.. 👍 keep those videos coming. Also a video explaining how to adjust sway bars for different applications would be nice including adjustable links wich no one really gets into, but would be nice to hear some opinions about. 😬

[@permanentmeanstreak9054]

I have a motorcycle with the same rad sentimental value. Awesome Chelsea!

[@andycrawl2128]

My first car was a 91 miata. Love those cars and yours sir looks amazing

[@lordperezident]

True. His looks great. that's what happens when the car is In the family the entire time

[@thump3r]

YOUR GRANDMA IS THE COOLEST GMA I EVER HURD OF!

[@miatafied]

Lmao thats the same reaction I have when I hear a turbo car and it ends up being a civic. Literally the story of my life that nobody is around when I'm in my turbo miata

[@jonaruiz2414]

I still regret the day I undersold my miata. First car I learned how to work on my car. It had a 1.6 front end crashed. I bought another one that was modded, and T boned. I paid 750 and got a whole drivetrain, coils, wheels stronger differential, driveshaft, half shalf, short throw shifter and a harddog rollbar which was the main reason I bought it. Rented a storage unit because I couldn't work on it at the apartments I lived. So, I would go to the storage here and there, lock myself inside while it was hot af. Sometimes my friend would keep watch outside because one time i got caught working on it. Within a month i dismantle the Tboned miata to bare shell, took the parts and put them in my 1.6. Super fun miata and to this day I still wonder where its at. Last time I saw it it was Nardo grey.😢 I hope whoever has it that they drive the shit out of it like I did when I had it.

[@awesomecooly123]

Woah I've never seen anyone with Demon Cambers on a miata in the US! I've been looking for a set and they're pretty much non existent. Gnarly!

[@drakecarter197]

Very sick miata chelsea, dunno how you havent bent any rods yet lol. Also i wish miata engines on the east coast were that cheap, the only ones for sale that cheap are blown. People want $700+here in NC for 1.8s.

[@car.diac_arrest]

So insane dude! My '91 miata was my grandma's brand new as well that my grandfather also purchased for her. I think I also drove it for the first time when I was 14. Small world.

[@JayWelchy]

Thought it would be fun to turbo a miata last year .. it was. I didnt realize the Miata CULTure in this country lol! Rear quarters tho .... smooooth

[@cavemanken7029]

Just passing through to get details for the dyno numbers!

[@stenooo2439]

Gotta hit that popup button faster dude 😂

[@HarukanoF20C]

LMAO! I ALWAYS! Forget to do the miata wave! I almost never see anyone out in an enthusiast car anymore. It's sad :*(

[@HenryDarr]

Taylor and Rudnik would be so proud 🤙🏽

[@e1griego]

Magnaflow did make a catback for NA -- mine rattled, too. I sold it after 3 weeks for a Racing Beat. Also, check the o-ring on the factory oil cooler/heater underneath the filter. Until mine was leaking real real bad I couldn't find where it was coming from.

[@BuiltByKyle]

Great video man! 🤙🏽

[@philtheoccultist]

5:26 felt this

[@NH_TOMMY]

I only paid $100 for my hardtop no window or clips but still a great price

[@EthansOpinion92]

Engine management? Looks like your speed density? This things rad

[@ericperry2671]

That's downtown bg and rockys pizza I drive through here every day I about lost my stuff when I noticed where you were

Nice bro 👌

[@adamgibson4991]

You ever hit up the skatepark in that town? It’s got a sick bowl

[@joshc9846]

I can rest well now knowing Chelsea Denofa drove to his own wedding in his turbo Miata on Demon Cambers.

[@Generalusuer]

Coolest grandma

[@tshaw0277]

Been trying to snag Demon Cambers for so long now

[@SkidsJDM]

I always love to see Chelsea in a Miata 🥰

[@lordperezident]

I like to see him in an E36 😄

[@stankhunter666]

Plot twist Chelseas grandma is actually Chelsea with round gold glasses and a powdered wig on

[@JP-bv3sf]

Bring Grandma's Miata back home to PA

[@waosfab9080]

Ever since they widened that road it’s badddddd for cops. But bg cops generally are chill

This looks awesome!!! Why do Miatas have to be rising in price?? Ahhhhhhhh!

[@ubseen]

Cam sensor or rear main seal?

[@bigdfitness5020]

Hopefully not the rear main

[@lordperezident]

@@bigdfitness5020 If the rear main it's gonna be a bitch. Smh

What ecu does it run?

[@b00sted_mx59]

where are these 400$ motors you speak of

[@KaDaJxClonE]

Is that Broke and Boosted? #CarPassionChannel

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Nahhh that was a 1.6L :)

[@criticalevent]

I think your scales need batteries.

[@colin_g]

$400 a motor? Lmao I got a spare block for free! The Miata community is one of the best in terms of helping each other out... Also the worst in terms of elitists and purists

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea I meant the whole long block. But yea the Miata community used to be THE best one. It’s still up there tho!
