Hi Flyin' Miata. All FM news are of course very interesting but could you make chapters in the timeline and perhaps more relevant label which Miata model NA,NB NC or ND the product news is targeting, so we are able to jump to content that is relevant to the viewer?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gnb569]

These updates are awesome! Id love to be part of the Flyin’ Miata R&D team, you guys continue to raise the bar and improve your product. The enthusiasm for innovation is contagious!

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Thanks for watching!

[@dgris7944]

I really want to order a Randall intake for my '99 but it seems the supply has been dried up for several months! When will you have more in stock?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Hopefully, we shouldn't be waiting too much longer. Reach out to our customer service team for more specific info.

Any chance of the updated brake kit coming to ND?

[@jgalt99]

The available kits look super cool, but honestly stock brakes on the ND are fine even for track use. Get some track pads and maybe do the DRL brake duct kit/mod, (I have tracked my ND with the brembos and street pads and never experienced any fade.) Track pads will definitely be an upgrade. Stainless steel lines will improve your pedal-feel, but I'd do those first before upgrading the calipers or rotors. The ND is a really light car and doesn't produce a lot of power, it's really good on the brakes. There's not likely a lot to be gained there unless you have some crazy LS3-swapped monster.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Potentially some day, but it's currently not on the docket.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@@jgalt99 We don't necessarily disagree. A lot of folks will purchase them for mostly aesthetic reasons, but that doesn't mean they're not functional There is something to be said about grabbing a super stiff and lightweight caliper, like in our Wilwood kits. Pedal feel is (subjectively) greatly improved and we're removing a good few pounds of unsprung weight per corner, depending on what kit you get. This is especially great for the autocross folks.

[@jgalt99]

@@FlyinMiataVideo Oh they're definitely functional, and look awesome. I'm sure they feel better than the stock ones and they don't have the fitment issues that my Brembos do. I would definitely go with a Wilwood kit if I didn't have the Brembos already. I have your spring set and kogekis installed and love them, and when I put my miata in a ditch and needed a new radiator this year I went with the one you featured earlier this video. Very happy with that so far as well although I haven't taken it on a track day since installing it yet.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@@jgalt99 They don't always have to be track days. As long as you're enjoying the car. That's all we're after😁

[@DelFractal]

When are you guys bringing back the 3d printed softop round points (2003) to latch the top? I've been looking for those since mine broke

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Hey Hey! They're finally in stock and can be found here. flyinmiata.com/products/03-05-top-lock-cap Sorry for the delay on those.

[@violinmiata]

When are the NB turbo manifolds available? Would I have to adjust the voodoo box if I swapped to the new style?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

We're currently only selling our turbo manifolds with complete turbo kit. At some point when we have excess inventory, we may list them for sale individually, but we don't have a timeframe for you. No adjustments needed if you switch from our old turbo manifold to our new one.

[@moneeb343]

Can the Randall intakes be utilized in an exhaust manifold turbo set-up? I'd love to get cooler intake temps than the filter right on the cold-side housing.

[@adams7872]

Check out Napp motorsports cobra intake

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

I'm sure you could get some benefit from taking air from the cowl on a turbo set up. That said, simply having an air box around your filter, like our 1994 and up NA/NB/NC turbo kits, and an intercooler, is likely just as good for IATs, anyway. The juice probably isn't worth the squeeze.

[@mastercricket7626]

So what's the chances yal would sell just a turbo manifold for the 1.6? I looked on the site, and it's only full setup .. I have a full setup. I just want to upgrade my manifold ... love the products and all you guys do for the community .. peace and love, guys , keep it rad. Stay safe, and build on.. l8r famz and keep having fun guys.. ps I guess it would be more accurate to ask as to when not if

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

We will likely sell our turbo manifolds separately at some point, but we don't have a timeframe. For now, we're dedicating all of the inventory of manifolds and outlets for complete kits.

[@mastercricket7626]

@FlyinMiataVideo right on , I can respect that... I hope it sooner than later tho , cuz I would love to get one the new manifolds , I have a cast log atm and don't want to invest in trash , so I weighting for you guys I recon lol .. much love and respect, guys . 💪🏽🤘🏽🤙🏽✌🏽ps thanks for the response, my brethren , nothing but good vibes, and hope all works out great with the new development car .. I am a hard-core oe engine guy, so I have been building the 1.6, and I'm sure you know the limit of actual good parts for them lol n e ways sorry for rambling ✌🏽

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@@mastercricket7626 Sounds like a great build. Let us know how it goes.

[@skyrider4789]

Oh, you guys can do injection molded plastics now? It's me again, excited for the NA dash cover in UV-resistant injected plastic FTW! 😁👍

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Hmm, yeahNo. I think you read into that one a bit. 😀

[@skyrider4789]

@@FlyinMiataVideo 😆🤷🏻‍♂👍

[@brendanmccabe8769]

Wait, what? The E lines up with intake and the I lines up with exhaust? Am I being dumb or is that asking for a problem?

[@OfTheMac]

There are 2 markings on each cam gear. One E and one I. The I sticks vertically up on intake and E sticks up on the exhaust when set correctly. But that means that the I and E line up opposite with this tool and the markings on the plate that attaches to the engine. It makes more sense when you actually see it.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

What @OfTheMac said

[@onlywenilaugh6589]

Updates to turbo kits you never have in stock. I see.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

@onlywenilaugh6589 We're trying very hard to accumulate all the parts necessary for those kits to be available again! We're hoping to have another restock very soon.

[@lucythemiata9067]

I noticed you guys changed the design of your NA front shock tower brace from the older dark metal bar with bolts going down into the tower portion. What was the reason for the change? I have a 17 RF that I ordered from the factory now, but miss my NA since I sold it.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

The old black bar simply became too expensive to produce, so we discontinued it a few years ago. The new bar is just as tough structurally, but it also fits a touch better and we think it looks a bit nicer than our old stuff.

[@lucythemiata9067]

@@FlyinMiataVideo thanks for the reply. I’ve been buying your products ever since my first Miata 12 years ago. Will continue to do so 😊
