0:42 just imagine Caleb, in the middle of a uphill stop ligth regulating throttle and clutch when Suddenly 2step engages *_BRAAAAAPAPAPAPPAPAPPA_*

[@suicidebunnyz]

You can adjust it to turn on at a certain throttle % so that doesn't happen. I have mine set to only turn on at 100% throttle input with the clutch pushed in.

Just found your channel. I'm not a real dedicated car guy but I enjoy seeing what can be done on the aftermarket. Your videos are honest and simple. Earned another SUB.

[@Wmoore1]

Go with delrin bushings. Get the oem dimensions of your bushings and send some delrin to a machine shop and sleeve them with aluminum sleeves, worst case.

Love the Turbo Miata and glad got to see it! I should send the picture of my car next to it to be featured :)

[@cameron2325]

Delrin diff bushings helped my miatas wheel hop soooo much! Its pretty much gone now. And as you mentioned engine mounts help a lot as well. I had bad wheel hop and did those two things only and its gone!

[@Alex-yx4vd]

Another cool video! Inspiring me to keep playing around with my NA, not yet bit the bullet on the turbo :(

[@andreaslwer1961]

10 MIN squad!!! big up for ur vids Gingium! keep up the good work! ma fav youtuber!

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

My dad used to have a ‘68 Firebird with trans-am spec suspension set up with advice from a former factory race engineer. He asked him about metal bushings and he said they’re a real pain on street cars. You need to make sure all your clearances are dead nuts perfect or you’re essentially going to have solid suspension.

[@Nasonix2]

Hey Gingium, I did the AWR Motor Mounts today along with Delrin Diff bushings and let me say I 100% recommend the both of them combined. The only problem with the AWR Motor mounts is that you definitely want a heads up. The NVH will be strong as fuh at idle for the first 500 miles. It supposedly mellows out. But as for the performance, I haven't missed a shift yet. It's solid as all hell now! And it rev matches way easier, along with blipping the throttle, it all performs a hundred percent better than before. And I even previously had the 40% stiffer competition rubber motor mounts, and they honestly only lasted about 200 miles for me before they got bad. So I'd recommend the AWR Poly motor mounts for you from Fab9tuning. As well as the Delrin diff bushings. Don't get any other look-alikes from other manufactures, they are even harsher I've heard but don't perform anywhere near as good sadly. And as a side note, please let us know if you find a nice (hopefully affordable) solution for upgraded suspension bushings. I'm looking for that right now as well!

[@JoshuaHirtle]

Solid suspension bushings aren't really a thing. If you want something like that, your best bet would be heim joints. These are extremely expensive for a small performance gain and you would need custom control arms to run something like that. You'll see them a lot on wise fab setups and racecars in general. Poly bushings or new rubber bushings are definitely your best bet. Energy makes good bushings for a decent price. I use them on my Legacy GT and they squeak just a bit.

[@sriracha9062]

Dang! I forgot Molly is 29! She doesn't even look that old! Caleb, you outdid yourself with this Miata!

[@kittenswithketchup]

It's an '89??

[@slushbubbles]

Isn't Molly 28 years? She's a 1990 model, isn't she?

[@swatbros4eva]

Caleb, you should talk to Matt Carriker from OffTheRanch/DemolitionRanch/VetRanch. He owns Bunker Branding Co. and would more than likely help you out with merchandise like shirts and hoodies

[@yatharthmoza]

Demolitia ftw

[@Jonny2Fingers]

Yay. More Miata vids to add to the millions posted.

[@Btb971]

Its so funny you made this because my 95 was doing the exact same thing as your car. The only that worked is when I set it to just launch control. But now someone solved my problem lol. I thought of adding a switch but never got around to it.

[@KozukiOden7]

Great job fella beat me too it just finished editing the exact same video for my MX5😂😂🔥

[@TraffordTrevorrow]

I agree when you say most satisfying with ever, I have an me and the cruise switch is so satisfying people ask if they can press it

[@Hauuy-el1vv]

I love launch control so much! Even better with a high revving engine tho 😋

[@Sky-qd2mf]

I use the same ecu in my mr2 and i have the fun switch and it is so convenient.

[@asparceproton1]

Oof. Time for some new rear suspension and diff bushings. That was some crazy wheel hop.

[@J3n555]

I need to do this on mine too, I have my launch control on all the time

[@graymatter78-23]

Launch control looks so crazy!

[@ratioed.]

Congrats on the sponser

[@ilbangromero4690]

Yo ging how did you wire that up to the ecu? If you could show me that would be great! Thanks

[@clayton8or]

I seriously feel that wheel hop man. my stock NB suffers from it too, so im always scared to spin the wheels in a straight line even in the rain, cause the suspension just goes mad. I havent found any solutions online either besides like "just get better suspension" yeah no shit what do you mean better suspension... even with all your chassis and suspension mods its still there, and solid bushings are not the greatest option for a half daily.

[@vvscrbo6138]

you can switch the caps for cruise control to the blank cap

[@blaytonthomas5298]

Pro-tip - The powerplant frame (PPF) found in Miatas and some other cars like the RX7 causes a majority of your wheelhop. You can delete it, but you need to get or make diff and trans mounts.

[@masterbond9]

most people shop around and spend quite a bit of time buying a new vehicle that has everything, or almost everything that they want, and then there are the people who get a good looking vehicle and add what they want to it. i recently picked up a 1984 dodge pickup in great shape for next to nothing, and now im slowly saving money to make it into a capable off road machine, but eventually i might turn it into an overland rig

[@Idk-ih3of]

Keep it up bro

[@treerexaudi]

SICK!

[@bensroka1210]

Can you make an entire video on the question of whether a Miata is a good first car? Like pros&cons, mpg, safety, insurance (16-20 year old guys), and whether a hardtop is a good option. Thanks! Love the channel and Molly is my dream car lol

[@burntchickennugget191]

My motor mounts are old and shot so I think im just gonna get some 80% poly and just retro fit some on.

[@nytovaok516]

i was literally trying to figure this out yesterday. i just turned on the launch control

[@fliqaxinmms2424]

This is easily the best Miata Ive seen XD

[@Jose-mf3br]

[@vojtechptacek6650]

If you suffer with rubber bushings, try to machine out an aluminium bushings with simple lathe. I used them on rallye Skoda. :-)

[@2pack4norbi]

Molly is almost a resto modded car. That's amazing what you've done with one small, happy miata. :)

[@jakehamilton5894]

No such thing as a restomod

[@alexgerling3686]

Have you got a video on what ecu and software you use to edit with please?

[@Easy_Reef]

Did you check out Greg's bushing video? He adresses the poly bushing issues which may make them a good option for you.

[@jok3yjesu339]

Go solid subframe bushing and just keep looking

[@glenn9k]

You should try Powerflex Black series bushings for the car. Very stiff grade urethane.

[@MoreBo0st]

Yo gingium, what's that seat like on a daily basis? Considering swapping out the seat, but my NA is my daily. Would appreciate your thoughts

[@IronPortInIronCraft]

[@Hollowpoint121]

I respect the fact that the only thing you’re advertising for in your video is education. Getting real tired of everyone telling me to download raid shadow legends

[@Tripifyy]

I'm currently trying to wire launch control with a rocker switch without using the clutch switch. Do I route power into the Megasquirt's "launch" pin or route the pin to ground????

[@Mrapplesauce96]

Try welding bars from the frame of the car to the subframe to eliminate wheel hop

[@justinlabarge8178]

That cruise control switch is really just a two buttons. 6 wires (signal and ground for each button and the indicator light). I belive the Ecu can probably be programmed to switch launch control on and off with a button press, but you are right it couldn't be done the way you wanted to, atleast easily.

[@cprovenzo]

If you do this mod, does it mean the car won't start without the launch control switch set back to on? Or does the megasquirt not have the same clutch safety protocol as the stock ecu. I'm asking because I'm in the process of making my megasquirt wire harness for my 1.6 so this is something I'll be approaching in the near future. Thanks for making these informative videos!

[@trevorniccum5604]

So do you have to flip the switch everytime to start the car? Or does megasquirt allow you to start the car without pushing in the clutch?

[@mariobecerril6874]

1:11 he probably talking about stock foxbodys with that slow ass Miata 😂💀

[@harrh9986]

Ever heard of power:weight ratio 225hp in a 2000lbs car is fast

[@zerogt86]

Do you have VSS wired into the ms? I think that would automatically turn off launch control once you start moving.

[@garrett6422]

What are your setting for your launch control on tunner studio?

[@detectivedowny1145]

What’s the 0-60 time with the launch control

[@michaelalleyne7507]

Gingium can't you set conditions for the flatshifting so you wouldn't need an arming switch?

Can it be set up to be on only when you are in 1st gear

[@adamhonda98]

2 step baby!

[@ch_chone]

FYI: pinout for all generations of cruise control switch are pretty well documented with some googling. The trick with the switch in NA's is some of them are momentary switches, some of them are continuous, based on year. Your switch looks pretty decent and stealthy though. For example: forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=51579 I had to go through the same process when I retrofitted factory cruise and fog lights into my NB.There's 3 different dash harnesses possible for a NB Miata based on options. How dumb is that?!

[@-never-gonna-give-you-up-]

Do you use stock exhaust valves?

[@martindegetau1457]

That is why you set it up so that it only activates at like 80% tps

[@AllMyDaysFeelTheSame]

My launch control makes my car die as well, not sure why

[@binetsyata]

I think I found why, I got the fm variable tps and I think that you need to reach higher value that the one you use to decide at witch % you want it to be on.

[@Fantaman900]

It should only be on when (near) full throttle. but i don't like how the rpm gauge dies when he cuts ignition on the clutch switch at 3500 rpm.

[@Sky-qd2mf]

Im trying to do the same thing to my car but i am too retarded somone plz help. 2 wires on my clutch switch 3 spots on my toggle and one wire from the ecu. what goes where?? ]
