$200 Mazda Miata Project - Ep.16 How To Remove Your Subframe and Replace Your Gas Tank!!

[@oponzo7184]

It’s a pleasure watching you two work on this Miata. Kelly is super impressive as she gets her hands dirty right beside you fixing up this project car!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

She's a beast! The Miata project was a lot of fun. Thanks for watching.

[@ginols68]

Just picked up a 1997 miata for my son, he's very excited to get started, keep loading great vids guys, thanks.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

That is awesome! Enjoy the process!

[@funretirementprojects7765]

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I'm replacing my gas tank soon and really appreciate your video!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Glad it was helpful! It's actually a pretty easy job. Don't forget to change your fuel filter while you are under there! Thanks for watching!

[@peterwalgamotte8532]

Thank you for making this video. Me and my son will actually be changing the fuel tank on our Miata today. This was helpful.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Glad it helped! Good luck! It's easier than you think.

[@waynemandryk6479]

Great job guys!! Good to see the wifey getting involved, love all the content.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! I can't do these next couple of videos without her!

[@hunterpopow956]

I am impressed. You guys did a great job there. I got a rusty gas tank too.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks! If we can do it, you can do it!

[@JC-hx6md]

...all that work and it doesn't even show! Great job guys, it's true that no one would think you guys did all that. Working with gas is always a pain but you guys aced it and the roll bar will be sick not to mention the upcoming wheels video, I'm a sucker for new shoes so I'm really looking forward to that one!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

We test fitted a wheel off camera and they are awesome. I can't wait for our neighbors to see it with the new top, wheels and tires. Thanks for watching, JC!

[@KMA224]

Thanks! Can’t wait to pretty this gal up!

[@JC-hx6md]

@@KMA224 ...yeah, can't wait to see you guys get er going, awesome content!

Love the content and the amount of effort given to this car.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!

[@Anjure_Danjure5092]

ayyyy congrats on the new project. very clean, if you have good rockers then your in fantastic shape

[@Anjure_Danjure5092]

once you get to the wiring and have it all sorted you might want to concider the headlight controll box that allows you to controll the headlights from your phone

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I appreciate that! And yes, the rockers are good!! Thanks for watching.

[@luqmanalfaisal900]

I just got a 2000 Miata and I am in love with it, however the fuel pump metal housing is so soft and flaky rusty more than cornflakes. I am starting my project to work on it today. The whole fuel pump and modules are so flaky rusty that it is like rust powder between my fingers 😢. I have no way to replace the tank, but I will have to clean it. I only have my driveway to do it and it is really steep one 😢

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

If we can do it, you can do it. Good luck!

[@jitboat]

I’m glad i’m not the only one who forgets which way to turn the wrench when it’s backwards

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Pssh, I forget which way to turn the wrench when it's not backwards!🤣😂

[@ceili3734]

2:25 I have the exact same rust right there. my car was left for 6 years outside with no back window and a broken top before I picked it up today. it was growing moss! I just ripped off the carpets and was going to change fuel pump when I found that rust. now I’m researching😂

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Sounds like you'll love this build. Our Miata was a POS. 😆 It turned out pretty sweet, tho. Thanks for watching.

[@ceili3734]

update: just put in a new gas tank yesterday! that was a real pain in the butt. thanks for the helpful video!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

@@ceili3734 That's awesome! Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching.

[@dwdallas2936]

always look forward to getting off work on Tuesdays for these vids :D

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

We always look forward to making them! Thanks for watching!

[@KMA224]

It’s fun to learn about cars and make these videos for others!

[@soundboydesign1373]

...as I thought it...she says, never been under a car...too funny girl...good on ya...nice job guys! Keep turning that wrench... one love

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

We will! Whether she likes it or not! Lol

[@dewdog]

Good job guys. Another great video!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks!

[@KMA224]

Thanks!

[@neatt3815]

Yeah the ppf is a massive pain in the butt to remove from the diff. I done a manual conversion. Bought a wrecked 5 speed donor car and transfered the running gear into an auto, so I had to remove TWO ppfs from cars that have never had their ppf removed and the bolts were seized and it just sucked big time. I have to replace the tank and I'm really not looking forward to doing the ppf from the diff and might just do what you did instead.

[@chrisbellevue]

Yo B! You trying to get to the Olympia💪🏼😅

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Yep, I just need to put on 100lbs of muscle and lose 50lbs of fat!! Lol

[@hondarsr505]

missed the vid yesterday but im here today...hell of a job for a gas tank....

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, I'm glad we don't have the exhaust and transmission installed.

[@gottatinker3363]

i was surprised you didn't pressure wash the rear end while it was out.......

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I was considering it, but we were on a time restraint and had bigger fish to fry.

[@JesusMedrano12]

Loving the progress! Bless up! 🙏🏼 #TOOTSIEEROLLTOOSDAYY‼️💪🏼😎

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Appreciate it!!

[@XoSupreme727]

you use a jack on the miata? i thought i was about to watch you get under the car and bench press it while wifey put the jack stands under

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Lol.

[@grantschmidt8662]

Love the miata videos!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Glad you like them! I can't wait to actually get this thing to look like something!

[@KMA224]

Thanks!

[@nateoverthehorizon1176]

Crap I need to do this to a Miata that sat for 10 years. I drained the tank but it looks like a black stalagmite and stalactite cave

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

It's easy! Do it!!

[@andrewvelasquez5780]

Looking fresh bro!

[@deadpedalgarage6457]

Nice. I've had this fuel tank on my ebay watch list for a few months now. I need to change mine soon.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Don't forget to transfer the little metal braces off of the old one to the new one, like we did! Luckily, even after subframe is back in, you can reinstall those!

[@franciscomaruri8260]

Do you guys have the link for it, mine is leaking bad and the only ones I find are 300 and up

[@vintageflipz3268]

I need torque specs for all these bolts now that I'm ready to reinstall.. please help

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Put them on as tight as they came off. That's what I do.

[@bricebertelsman7783]

You guys forgot the reinforcement plates that are on the old gas tank where the bolts go in

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You're correct!!! We did that months later off camera when I found them in the garage and couldn't remember what they were from! Thanks for watching!

[@bricebertelsman7783]

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers yes I believe with out them your gas tank would sag over time

mine is WAY worse....entire interior of the tank is FULL of rust

Swap it out!!! Don't let that junk go through your injectors!

Hi this is off topic but your video was so good maybe you can answer my miata issue or someone here? I have tried everything to fix the fuel gauge on my 1991 miata and Idk what to do. New fuel pump, new fuel sending unit, 1991 miata had been sitting for 15 yrs but it is running well now except for smelling like gas inside the car. thanks in advance!
