Well some of us are old enough to want to be the dad.

[@anthonyfigueroa2623]

My old man has always been my crewchief. Best thing in the world 💪🏻

[@canadianracer83]

Lucky for me, I am blessed to have one all to my self (only child). He is an unlimited wealth of mechanical knowledge combined with the wizardry of chassis tuning and fabrication skill. He has high priced lawyer skills with rule books, we never failed tech, or a protest for that matter. We once passes a cc on barometric pressure... Got a set of sticker tires with the protest money! We consistently made weight by less than we were ever comfortable with and podiumed more times than not in the features. I owe every one of my trophies to him. Cheers to great racing Dads everywhere. You make the sport.

[@johnnybvintage2137]

CK_32 how much you think this cost him? i’m lookin to build a car on a budget

[@mrmidnight32]

Apollo with all that work assuming you don’t have a dad with a shop full of racing spares, welders, lifts and shit like he does. I’d say anywhere from $10k to $20k.... Custom manifold for that evoX rebuild probably cost $5k to $7k alone. Not to mention all the time it will take to mock and measure all that shit to fit. Wheels and slicks probably $2k easy, built block another $2k - $5k for parts and machine shop time.. Suspension, coolers, ect ect.

[@therealderjett]

All credit to anyone who is willing to build a racer that crushes like this on a budget. This takes me back to the time I spent at Mid Ohio in SCCA in the early 2000's when they were home to the Nationals.

[@EverettdaBear]

As a young guy with a dumb goatee, a budget NA for TT and drift, it was awesome seeing this kind of thing. It's a nice reminder that even if it's a budget build, it can be fast.

[@CreamAle]

Mads you never need to apologise, the fact that you like the cars for what they are is all that matters. Seeing mads geek out because of a car is great.

[@mrmidnight32]

I love how they act like this thing is cheap. His parts alone are worth more than my ENTIRE car.

[@SodaCityWerx]

This channel is friggin awesome!! I've taken your drive and used it to start my own channel helping others build their vehicle with cheap parts with Wish, Amazon, and Ebay. I am still a little shy but my drive to help others is pushing me past that!Keep it up man I love this channel!!

[@MonsterConrad]

I liked this episode a lot because it showed you can still go really far with some well used parts

This is an amazing build biology for a few reasons....1. it's a badass time attack build ....2. it's a budget build.... 3. It shows there is hope a time attack build like mine can make it on the hoonigans!

[@purplestingray1957]

I want to see more like this, just showing that you can do awesome stuff with old used parts and some creativity. Not everything needs to be high budget high fabrication, sometimes a custom plastic splitter and spaced out fenders will do the trick. Awesome build!

[@dan2jzb58]

Ive been looking for a cheap miata to buy, this makes me more hype for the moment when i find it and can begin working on it

[@ShadowSlayer760]

Watched this video the day it came out. I've since bought an NA6 miata myself and knew it was gonna be a piece of work. Was 2 months of blood sweat and tears just to get it to pass CA emissions, which shouldn't have been that hard bc its an 89 obd1 miata. It only has a cat and charcoal canister. However, it was tough af, there was a lot wrong lol. It idled like a 2 stroke dirt bike when I got it and had the biggest brain jb weld job holding the coolant system together 😂and was straight piped (pls take my advise and only buy california cars fam. even if your not from here haha). I was back and forth in my head for months trying to figure out if I should even keep it. At this point we've come a long way and I have learned a ton about cars. I actually understand when yall talk about engines and gearing and all that now. Now, a year later, Im looking at this video and am thinking "damn I didn't get such a bad deal after all". Im actually better off in a lot of ways (on the car itself, I wish I had the connections this kid has). Im inspired now, between this and ya boy lil clutch kick, I'm 100% gonna have myself a bitchin ass roadster. I wanna track it, hoon it, break it, rebuild it, etc. Def will be bringing her to the next burnyard bash and hopefully driving there (was gonna go this year but the car took a shit on me haha. Hence why you shouldn't get a project car instead of a daily lol) So, I plan on suping up the suspension and drivetrain first then imma find a VVT 1.8 to build and swap in since that's gonna be the easiest thing for my experience level (first engine build) and very little access to welding. I'm Super Stoked!!!!

[@richharr]

I see a lot of airbag wiring. If you pull the harness and put the underhood fuse box in the passenger footwell and relocate the interior fuse box to the passenger footwell you can cut out about 3lbs of sensors, connectors and wiring. It also makes trouble shooting easier. Took me about 2 days on my na

[@408SPLKINGS]

I'll just go eat taco Bell or McDonald's & take a huge ass sh!t = 5-6# LBS minimum of weight lost... dragsters claim every 6#LBS saved = 1hp gained......good call on getting rid of unnecessary wiring & sensors tho !!! OBD 2 yo
