LS Miata V2.0 Full Build Documentary! Resurrecting the Blown Up and Battered Miata. *EPIC Results!*

[@graysonschwarz1429]

You make some of the most professional and entertaining car content on youtube, its amazing to see all the work you've put into the car!

[@RetroGamerr1991]

7:58 I was trying to find what other tab started playing lmao

[@roberturban5135]

It's crazy watching these videos and realizing how much the car has progressed and everything that has happened along the way. Thanks for an awesome ride so far!

[@wobblysauce]

Only feels like the other day...

[@colindonoghue6120]

These videos for the version 1 and version 2 are a great format, it is so much better than all the sub 10 min full builds of cars that is just a timelapse with little to no explanation and the huge multipart series that would take days to watch and get boring after a while. The amount of explanation is perfect and showing all of the mishaps that happened along the way are helpful to anyone looking to tackle a project like this. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the two builds and just wanna say keep up the great work!

[@VN1MVL]

I know I'm some random guy but, I'm proud of you bro. Keep doing your thing, you've got a natural talent. Been watching for a couple years now.

[@m1k3g3tz]

i have been watching these since Adam talked you into taking youtube serious ... this is one of the rare channels where the content just keeps getting better. all of you crying about long videos - fine, whatever, don't watch it. but for the ones of us that watched thoughout the build, it is really cool to see the recap videos. i wish more people would do these. now that the miata is dialed, get that dorito spinning.

[@Taylordrifts]

Exactly! Like don’t watch it if it’s too long. I didn’t make it for those people. I made it for myself and anyone who wants to see the build from start to finish.

[@rexrunner]

Same bro! So glad he did too

[@m1k3g3tz]

@@Taylordrifts also i gotta say it makes me miss living in O-town when you guys drive past stuff i remember ...

[@Autovisions]

Taylor I love your videos you definitely have a different channel compared to other car channels, your videos are much longer which sometimes can get a little boring but what I like is you actually show the work that goes into it and how to be better at fixing things while showing were you messed up, lots of in depth that not a lot of others show, what I’m trying to say it you show each step of what you’re doing while others only show the finished project while saying it was so easy to do and it looked so easy but you show the struggle of what we go through building cars, you’re very relatable keep up the good work I’ve learned a lot from watching you

[@gotthumbs2235]

Those clips of you sliding the LS at Texas at 60+ mph are magical. Such a sweet setup...now to resolve the steering and on to the next even....with the 7.3 on 24s. :-> Great editing and the voice over narrative is steller....

[@Tubbzzbmx]

I love these videos man keep up the good work and please take this thing to the burn yard or the rx7 when it’s done

[@razelm]

"IT WORKS, it works fine" *sneezes* "Bless you" 38:40 lmao

[@AnthonyWTFC]

My favorite part of the Miata, and all your other builds.... is that you touch every bolt yourself, you do 99.99% of the mechanical and fabrication work yourself and have netted some of THEE best results in doing so. Keep up the good work!

[@T0P1N6N]

I haven't watched your videos for like a year at all, now watched both of these long videos about the car, this is just amazing! Awesome to see you getting better in drifting and seeing all the detail and The amount of work you've done to the car. Keep up the great work!

[@docholiday5766]

I actually love these long videos. You are one of the few youtubers I can just throw on and work while listening to. You should try to do something with Obsessed Garage, all of his fan base would love your content.

[@kennethpigg6688]

Taylor Ray is literally my idol. Keep bangin out your work bro I watch you as I wrench at work all day 🤘🏼🇺🇸

[@FoSReMiXx]

This is one of the best car videos I’ve ever seen congrats on your journey. Thanks for the effort you put into this.

[@jaydub8576]

Classic Taylor Ray with the 1 hr+ video. You've come so far with your cars and your ability as a driver and fabricator. I see only good things for you in the future. Great work.

[@nissanpacific9793]

watching this documentary makes me realized I've missed a lot of videos from you. But what's satisfying is the fact that I'm still supporting you via Patreon.

[@r4ng3k03r1]

Taylor I don't understand why you didn't just stick with the T56 rather than CD09 cuz T56s are quite strong transmissions and you can turn them into a sequential with an adapter. That's what I'm going to do whenever I get an LS I think it's super cool you can convert it from H pattern to sequential without changing trans.

[@avassolo3]

I’ve tried to join many KZbin channels and I feel like I missed the story and how they got where they are. These past two videos are perfect for anyone looking to catch up on great content. I know the amount of time and effort you put into these videos so thank you Taylor and I know you will see growth from these videos

[@BradeenRyan]

Last night I ran across part one and spent all night watching it, idk why but just something about the rawness of the engine rebuilds and actual real life of it. To see both the little things that make a car guy happy like the engine sputtering even if just for a second and the huge problems like dealing with blown engines I don't think I've seen a video that gave me a bite from the project car bug in a while

[@tannersmith7334]

Expected to watch 15-20 minutes of this build and just watched over 2 hours of content. Very well made videos.

[@r4ng3k03r1]

Get an MR2 ELECTRICAL STEERING PUMP TAYLOR ITS THE BEST ONE YOU CAN RUN. Pros run em like James Deane, Piotr Wiecek, Justin Pawlak and Hert from Hoonigan. It will solve your steering problems Taylor honestly and it's super cheap. Just do it already guy you can get one for like $25 at a junkyard. JUST DOOOOO ITTTTT!!!!!!

[@hidog420]

My dude can drive and is as humble as a guy can be. Stoked for you're success brother, keep up the great work/content, it's addicting in a good way!!!

[@UncleSlyvester]

Man both part part 1 and 2 were just super amazing and in depth i wish more people would make these docs on there cars for those who have not been here to catch up and get up to date but these are the longest videos i watched before i enjoyed every second of it overall 11/10 good job man

[@MrFoulksy]

2 crazy dope videos one after another. Taylor just levelled up.

[@braddavis88]

I watched all the original videos during the build, and forgot about half of the stuff you did. Great series of videos, Taylor! So well done! You've definitely hit your stride with your videos and the quality really shows! 👌👍

[@Taylordrifts]

Thanks man! I feel like I’ve got my videos kinda figured out. I feel more focused and like concentrated I guess. So it’s really awesome to hear that from someone else!

[@braddavis88]

@@Taylordrifts You're definitely killing it man! Every video is informative and entertaining. Oh...please keep El Cefe! Cefiro's don't get enough love and yours is just sooo clean!

[@billboswagins6859]

I watched all the videos of the build so far and had to watch these 2 videos in segments and I was still glued to screen the whole time keep up the great work Taylor you the man

[@KT6450]

Good video man watched it all.

[@eRRoR1139]

When I see every video you make the day you release it (or day after) I don't realize the amount of progress this car went through. Wow, what an adventure this is!

[@ethanthomas1868]

I'll be real I haven't watched Taylor in a long time and man I had no idea how far you have progressed. Huge props man keep it up!

[@MrNoysip]

This is better than any love story, I cried through the whole thing

[@MichaelAverycarhauler1969]

Really enjoyed the evolution of the LS Miata! Gig 'em Taylor!

[@360brokebros3]

I’m going to announce every time I go back and watch these videos. Love it everytime

[@kinggorilla92]

That resonator sounds awesome

[@allxdup1909]

Maaaaate... I'm impressed. I can relate (a lot) to your stories, they have lots of elements so similar to my own (when I was younger). Putting in lots of patient hours to build the best you can with your resources, mostly on your own, then coming out with mechanical issues on race day and having to overcome or deal with them while trying to keep cool & learn the game. Then to surprise everyone including yourself with results is just a blast... Goodonya mate.

[@zaynevailes4202]

Taylor i want too point something out. Looking at current numbers on this video, %100 of your fans watched a 1 HOUR long video including my self about a MIATA!!!! We love what your doing please never change except maybe a pro 2 change but dont change!! Your content is truly unique too u and we love watching it!!!

[@dougsisk619]

I have a super short attention span but this kept me engaged all the way thru. Awesome video.

[@shaolincruz2891]

Finally!! Had us waiting long enough Taylor 😂, fyi PBIR September 14

[@andrewfernandez3827]

Very therapeutic to watch, surprisingly!

[@DomkeBoy]

Dang man you're really good at this KZbin stuff. Seriously, 40 minutes in and I am not planning to stop watching. Not bad for a longer video. Keeping those viewers interested and excited right there with you.

[@jordanalvarez7416]

I cant tell you enough how much I love your videos! Your videos are the reason i started working on my miata again and im having a lot of fun doing so! Thanks for your videos!

[@randybryant9936]

That miata is one of the best cars you built

[@photohounds]

Great car, great effort. The lady's very patient - a keeper! Great driving too! Always liked these beasties, looking for the second part of the 6.2 litre conversion now ... cheers from Australia!

[@awdxtc1088]

Watched you since the beginning, the build was awesome. You go into detail and the struggle of building a car from scratch, thats why i follow you. Keep up the good work Taylor! Now find your SCSB and turbo that!!

[@addicted2fuel245]

The video was awesome and I wouldn't change anything on the car at all. You have the baddest Miata in the drift world and I can't wait to see you bring more trophies home with it.

[@Zt3v3]

I'm enjoying your videos. I have a friendly suggestion. When you're checking out a used motor, pull at least one rod cap off, usually the one furthest from the oil pump. Just pulling one cap to inspect a bearing can save you lot of headache.....like you had with V1.

[@Hedgehog7999]

Wow, rewatching this I forgot how clean the Miata was fresh from paint! Keep it up man, waiting to see where you go next!

[@patrickhenry4694]

great set of videoing,was more watching for the Ls work but actually enjoyed the whole journey and your narration of the whole drift process,real kool thanks.

[@TheZmt325]

I'm exhausted just watching both videos. I'm surprised you haven't aged 10 extra years.

[@ahmyb6412]

Thanks for the condensed miata build.

[@gothicpagan.666]

Sandy is a cool cat. Fit a big oil pressure warning light right on top of the dash. When your on it, you just don't have time to look at gauges

[@ianjohnston8057]

Really great and inspiring for my own build, man. Didn't expect V2 to come out so quick after the first doc. You're a machine.

[@OZBIE]

Thanks for sharing your journey, very entertaining and informative. Your narration and pace are spot on. Nothing can touch a dialed in Miata!

[@chasesworkshop]

Beautifully put together. Watched you build this over the years and love the way it's turned out, and loved watching the documentaries you put together. Keep up the good work man, you are inspiring.

[@jcnpresser]

Check you reservoir for the ps pump, if it’s got a screen it may be clogged. I’ve ran into this with fords before. You may just want to remove the screen entirely if it’s got one. Also when you fire up new engine, a hand held temp gun is handy for checking for miss fires on the headers. If it’s missing it’ll be cold obviously. Awesome car!

[@leerussell9109]

Incredible build, incredible driving nice work bro

[@ar_snl]

I like this video format. You can talk while the video plays. Efficient.

[@MrMurph111]

Would have been cheaper to buy and LS3 480 from Chevy Performance, plus you get a 2 year unlimited 50,000 mile warranty with it.

[@Edricofifrit]

Thank you man, for taking us along with you on your journey!

[@jonathanmedina3522]

Hands down 👌👌, can’t even begin to tell you that these are the best videos!!! I’ve watched from start to finish, and to see it here on a begin to finish is epic! Can’t wait to see the evolution!

[@Danger-Dave]

Great condensed overview vlog of your build Taylor, both part's were well put together for peeps who may not have watched from the start. Got a good chuckle about dealing with the fear of maiming the Miata for the first time against your own car. Of course that threshold would stem from having Cleetus-N-crew Involved ...lol. Good luck out there and now that you have your rig happening cant wait to see the next event.

[@CTemple82]

Next time you have the motor out you should use Lava Shield heat wrap on the fire wall. Lays out smoother and looks a lot better. Has that cool carbon kevlar look like the turbo blankets.

[@samole09]

You should do a video on what got you into cars or drifting in general. doesn't have to be as long as these Miata vids but they would be amazing to watch just like these were!

[@benmoore7721]

Love the voice over on your time lapse as opposed to generic music. Nice work.

[@jeerryharding436]

that was dope af man your hard work and dedication has gotten you the results you deserve. i feel this is the outcome of not being lazy (which i can be) has gifted you i lowkey thought yo were making a mistake when you left bc but you rebelled to the fullist, kicked ass and upped the content. also i see some of these old clips and think like yo i swear that video came out yesterday then i relize o shoot its been almost 2 years and i watched the channel grow immensely and i witnessed taylor ray start his youtube career thats really an eye opener and has inspired me off and o to treat my hoopties with tune ups and baths thamks again bro for this film and all the others i remember it like it was yesterday waiting for the uploads because i literally caught up to real time.

[@pantsinajar]

This video got me hooked on your channel. did a deep dive on the build from start to finish. solid my dude. solid

This was a proper movie about a great project built from a dream. Awesome dude, keep up the good work!

[@r3drocket659]

i loved reliving these moments. ive watch every video as you were building this car for the last year or so. still amazing to see you have fun and kick peoples asses in a car you built yourself. im very happy for you that you got her kickin ass after so much work. love the video bud, keep it up!

Great work Buddy Amazing work ethic

[@joeladzim1225]

amazing journey taylor! now lets get that pro 2 license!

[@Jake-ec5bj]

Loved the whole video, watched every second of it. One little visual mod you could do, could be smoke the rear tail lights as you've got a subtle car but very bright tail lights.... just an option

[@andrewslater6846]

This is absolutely incredible

[@IDlikeanEvo]

Crazy part one and amazing part two, whats nice between thoses two, is that we can even see how you increase your fabrication skills since the 1.8 miata to the Ls. Started as a beast end up as a master ahah, awesome video Taylor.

[@behradsays]

This video was sooo sick man. The first video was great because I only discovered your channel right around the time you decided to do the LS swap and around the time you moved. It was nice catching up on the history. But even knowing everything you've done this past year with the LS build, it was awesome seeing this breakdown of how it all went down again. You should be super proud of your build, my friend. You truly have a Garage Built car that does exactly what it's supposed to! Must be such a great sense of accomplishment! Not to mention, you've improved tremendously as a driver since this build! Just goes to show that starting with lower powered cars and working your way up is the right way to go!

[@Taylordrifts]

I was honestly surprised to see how much had happened after the engine blew up. The cars been working well and I forgot about the struggles when we first got it back together. Lol

[@frankgeimer5952]

Could the power steering issue be a result of the steering shaft running so close to the header ?

[@nakjedi25]

Definitely was not expecting to see a pt2 so quick 😍
