Fixing and Cleaning a $1900 Miata

Doing a bunch of maintenance and cleaning on our new 1995 NA Miata, including new taillights, shifter accessories, soft top replacement and more

[@mulletsquirrel]

A running and driving Miata for $1900 is unheard of around here these days. So jealous!

[@Royallordandrew362]

Agreed

[@denalibarker8583]

seriously this guy is so lucky

[@donovanthompson2212]

In 2019 i bought a 10ae for $1500 non running with a torn up top and BALD and dry rotted tires. All it took to fix the running was a coil pack and new plugs! i LOVED that car... but life happens i walked away with a 6k profit....

[@adamstacharowski5231]

Got mine running for 500$. Deals are tough to find have to be on top of marketplace daily to find them

[@JesusL0vesY0u]

Facts bro

[@chaitea3659]

People who aren’t car people will never understand that a “dream car” or a “favorite car” doesn’t always have to be a Lamborghini or a McLaren. Seeing a guy happy with his silly little Japanese sports car makes me happy, because you know he found a car that he’s gonna enjoy driving.

[@jaj912]

My dream car my whole life has been a Miata, like I mean Lamborghini's are cool and stuff, but they are too expensive to drive. if I had the choice between a 1 of 1 Ferrari or a mint low mile Miata, I'd choose the Miata (or sell the Ferrari and buy a Miata lol)

[@yalocaldex]

@@jaj912 honestly sell the ferrari for miata sounds better 😂I mean one ferrari cost like insane amount of money

[@robertcunningham1695]

My dream car is a CRX SI lol, stupid light little hatchback that has always looked like an absolute blast to drive

[@Nicontrast]

@@jaj912 Been broke much of my life, bought a Miata (called MX-5 in Australia) two years ago and I'm overjoyed every time I drive it or see it. Drove it from Sydney to Melbourne through winding roads, incredible car - so much fun. Hope you get your dream car one day, they are magnificent and fun machines to own.

[@Constable.Chauvin]

​@@NicontrastHow much did it cost you? and is it a NA or NB? Here in eastern europe a NA that needs work is 4000$ minimum.

[@wtvrdrwn]

from the quality to the music to the jokes to the fun content, i loved this video. Cant wait to see more from you!

[@ScrewItGarage]

Really glad to hear that, and there’s more on the way

[@wetwaffles8713]

same, Jaden really coming in with the great opinions

[@wtvrdrwn]

@@wetwaffles8713 HOW DO U KNOW MY NAMEEEEEEEE

[@cardcreep3295]

Imagine listening to some indie pop songs whilst driving a light blue miata in the summer!

[@aekasora]

Imagine my surprise when this video is recommended to me amongst countless other car fix videos and I hear my music being played. Good stuff man!

[@ScrewItGarage]

Love the music man, such a nice fit for the videos, so awesome you were able to see it. Glad you enjoyed.

[@matthiasromanet3986]

This must be my favorite miata restoration video ever. I'm planning to buy an NA in a couple years, and this just motivated me to do it as soon as I'll have a place to put it in ! Thanks a lot for the inspiration, and the video. Good quality content (filming, edition, jokes, musics, rhythm, everything

[@ScrewItGarage]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed, good luck with getting your Miata

[@sally2467]

same. The Miata is one of my dream cars I want to own one day

[@SketoThanos]

Same here, I want to get an NB For daily drive.

[@unknown-fg9yf]

So you ever get that na?

[@bjaming682]

Did you get it bro

[@bubblecar2172]

This video isn't perfect, nor will it be the first or last NA Miata video. But I gotta say, it's nice getting recommended a small channel, with a young guy just chilling with a friend, wrenching on a Miata, making a KZbin video like it's 2015. This was incredibly refreshing to watch after watching so many Giga-KZbinrs make extremely polished and frankly- bored videos. Nice job, you got me to sub lol.

[@crashingpowerz8324]

Soft top tip, when you replace the soft top. Let the car sit out in the sun. The sun and heat will make the soft top material more stretchy, give it a few hours and drop the top all the way down. Latch it and leave it down for a few weeks, let it get used to its position and then start letting it down. It’ll ease the top in more and help you avoid damaging it.

[@ScrewItGarage]

Yeah probably not the smartest idea putting it on in the winter, but you gotta do what you gotta do, that’s why we backed it outside when the sun was out

[@kerfwya]

The previous owwner did a fantastic job painting it! I didn't know it was repainted until you pointed it out. Awesome car. Hope you have loads of fun with it :)

[@declanmahoney1077]

this was absolutely amazing, man. I love watching miata maintenance! Cant wait for more to come

[@IamMortui]

It's crazy how such small changes make such a difference to it. Very nice video, thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

[@joshuamendoza8873]

Listening to Vacations while fixing up a car is unrivaled! The miata is coming together great!

[@LukeAndersonn]

absolutely incredible video. wonderful pacing, editing, and engagement. Would have never guessed you had any less than 10k subs just by watching. Earned a new one here!

[@ScrewItGarage]

Glad to have you, and hopefully we can get there eventually

[@canadane6408]

I’m stoked to see more about this car. I dream about owning one of these and doing stuff like this to it. It makes me want one even more!

[@elizabethkillian9790]

Enjoyed watching this! It’s nice to see just a genuine video on someone who enjoys what they’re doing. While still entertaining the audience

[@echosclips]

Watching someone build and renew my dream car with the same amount of money I'll soon have is actually so amazing. Just makes me realise how possible my dream is.

[@qu3soking]

Your personality mixed with the way the video was edited made this video one of the most entertaining car videos i've watched in a while. You honestly deserve more attention for this kind of stuff man! Keep these awesome videos coming!

[@ybg1d416]

my dad had an NA when i was growing up, watching you work on this one brought back a lot of memories

[@na6_coen]

I loved every bit of this. You really remind me of myself when I bought a Miata 8 years ago, totally over the moon with it. Nice to see a video of a guy just loving his new car!

[@sentsuu]

the vibes are real with this one. music choice was great, your energy is so fun and bright. and the car is looking good man

[@nano-ai]

I loved the music, the jokes, and the entire process! This was very entertaining to watch. I hope to possess your skills in car fixing and building some day!

[@madebyjay3135]

That was the first maintenance video I've ever seen. I really want to get into cars and build up my own. You made it seem like a lot of fun. :)

[@PuridaMedia]

Loved how you were so excited to show the new car! Makes me excited for my future Miata purchase!

[@duturkeyman7566]

i can’t help having a huge smile the entire time watching wholesome miata content

[@Thompsongs]

It makes me glad to see another NA maintained and kept on the road. My 1990 gets more lonely each year.

[@MrDungante]

Good job on the top install. When I did mine I left the back nuts loose and let it set for a day so it could stretch. Current project is getting the tune dialed in on my megasquirt.

[@Josemtz_2.0]

Loved seeing this because I’m working on mine and knowing how much work I need to do, I know it’ll be worth it in the end 😊

[@sire_pixels9765]

Love it! I drive a 91 and ive been wanting to do exactly what you did here to mine for awhile now.

[@takizzz401]

dude, this video is amazing, you can feel his excitement through the screen, congrats man!

[@joaovgarcia]

good work man, love seeing miatas being taken care of, greetings from Brazil

[@tangopedro1]

Honestly you're vibes are immaculate, love the car and look forward to the build (98 NA MX-5, UK)

[@alysialiao750]

Can't say I didn't giggle multiple times when watching your video. I Love NA Miata thank to my bf's influence, and hope I get to own one myself one day. Would love to see more of your videos about repairing the Miata.

[@taube9668]

Honestly just seeing your excitement makes me so happy for you, congrats on the miata :D

[@jaundice7918]

Love the music, your humor, and the content! You're exactly what I feel car youtube should be more like.

[@B3llafresita]

Honestly this is my new favorite channel cause the vibes of the video are so fun and as soon as I heard vacations I fell in love but great video 🫶

[@AgRocksi]

I'm in a similar boat! We just bought a 2003 Miata manual for 1k. High mileage at 250k miles but the motor runs like a champ. Really nice interior, brand new top, and of course rust on one of the rocker panels. $1k for any running car is a steal, better yet a really cute one!

[@PlatypusLLC]

Ugh… this makes me miss mine so much. I need to fix it already. Great video! I can’t believe you got it for that little. So lucky.

[@adamjacobs9216]

love this! just working on my miata, and its great to see someone elses journey! keeep up the good work.

[@final_call_71]

love the sounds you made when you put the shift knob on

[@tukushtacos2518]

These are the cars that become something more than just a car, its a form of expression restoring and adding personality to the car.

[@Leo-dn4xv]

I love how happy this guy sounds ❤

[@elijahalfonso883]

Bros humor and music taste is top quality. Good shit bro!!🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@zgSH4DOW]

Maybe it's the montage music, but it warms my heart to see it get love. I adore the Miata and welcome anything that'll get more of them back on the road

[@N3th4nnnnn]

hey man ive been looking for content like this and i wanna say i finally found what vibe of video i love ! plus my fav music and the MIATTA ill be a daily watcher :) love yall already keep it up !!

[@indy3902]

i never really use youtube but its so relaxed just watching this video, background music is perfect and you guys talk just the right amount, not to much and not to less yk 🙂 subscribed just because

[@NateBuck]

Love this! I just picked up a 92 Miata last week for $1500; love it so far!

[@toasty7685]

Stumbled across this channel by accident and now I’m excited for more 👍 subbed

[@Rafael-sg2tc]

it’s so awsome how u are just enjoying your new car keep going

[@threedaysgrace7081]

Wow the music selection is amazing! And the build is great, awesome video 🎉🎉

[@okitsadam]

Anddd another New England garage channel I will be following forever! I’m just above you in NH. Hoping one day to get on my feet with a nice drift build. Maybe I’ll look back for this comment in 5 years and see where we both are! I got a 1991 Miata in the family that I am trying to get. It has never seen winter and only been garaged… we will see!

[@lite6634]

Hey bro! Big thanks for making this video, it was very relaxing and definitely made my day better ;) Wish you all the best!

[@timothniel]

i love your videos! i dont know if it makes sense but watching your videos feels like home

[@Gyutube.]

Subbed after a quarter into the video since the quality and effort is amazing

[@Destroyah5000]

Much respect for making an ES1 your project car.

[@fengollc3765]

great video, well edited and you are pretty good on camera, great potential for this channel!

[@waferlane2548]

subbed as im currently in the middle of a 92 Miata build myself cant wait to see what you do with yours

[@onmyvl0ne62]

i watched this while doing my laundry fire asf❤‍🔥🔥🔥

[@stantheman5163]

Subscribed to see how you progress on this project. I inherited a super clean '94 from my mother-in-law a couple of years ago and it is pretty much completed unless I want to start messing with the engine more. I probably won't as it runs great, has low miles and is fun just the way it is. I totally updated the suspension with the Koni 2.5 kit from Flyin' Miata so it handles beautifully. I hope you video the rust repairs as that would help a lot of people. Luckily mine was a summer only car and always garaged so no rust at all.

[@theisde2801]

Bro such a quality content, you seem like a really nice person. Keep it up with the good work !!

[@GuilhermeReis-fz7gf]

I love to see how bro is genuinely happy with his new car!

[@buildingfilming]

Just found this channel. I can't say I don't like the music, the car, and the commentary. Awesome video and excited for all the new posts!!!

So glad this was recommended to me, cant wait to see what you do next :)

holy sht... I miss my miata so hard after watching this. I sold it 6 years ago and still want it back.

[@Spycow.No34]

Love your content dude! I'm looking at buying/working-on my own Miata soon!

[@samuelkuk1773]

Awesome vid man, im getting a miata soon as my first car, its also a manny. Looking forward to do the same modifications you did to yours. Earned a sub.

I love Miatas, it was my grandfather's favorite car

[@lukosiukslip]

Ačiū, kad žiūrėjote

[@jordangrant7698]

This is my favorite Miata video 2nd time watching it and it won’t be my last.

[@joshkennedy6065]

that's crazy how nice that is for so cheap. I bought a Miata tin 2023 for 2k and it was not nearly as clean as this one. mis matching exterior panels with scratches and dents, broken finish panel, WAY more surface rust in the trunk, just tons of stuff. bro got a real steal.

[@grey7685]

Yeah, miata prices have gone up a shit tone recently 😭

[@jnuxca]

as a fellow sub 2000$ miata buyer let me say welcome to the club! get some decent tyres and brakes and you have yourself a good fun little car! some handling upgrades down the line are a must, love my miata to death

[@faislfsfs2613]

I think this is the best video that I've watched in my life

[@griffincharlebois3272]

this video is about to blow up. Great video brother!

[@ThisisProNe]

Have fun with your miata greetings from Germany

[@traviswatts4568]

Love the color. Hope to see it at the Miata Wachusett Mtn meet in the summer!

[@fonitronik]

Soft top tip: The original soft top has a plastic rear window that could be detached from the soft top opening a zipper. I always remove it and lay it flat down to the back shelf before folding in the soft top. This way the plastic rear window stays nice and clean without scratches or even breaking.

[@BoostedNDMiata]

That’s a score! Welcome to the family!

[@iambecomejeff]

Awesome video man, can't wait to work on a Miata! Side note, amazing music choice 😎
