ONE-WEEK REBUILD FINALE! - FIRST DRIVE With the New LS3 Miata! 1-4 Gear Pulls! Basic to Ballin Ep.5!

[@seanmcclellan3369]

The pure joy in the "Holy Shit!" I felt that

you need a tire sponsor!

[@MichaelS537]

If he keeps running with Cleet Nitto might throw him a bone. They seem to love seeing their tires melt.

[@daftrhetoric]

It absolutely should take more than a week, and that's before we even approach putting together the videos and hanging out with Garrett on the Cleetus cast. This is incredible work, this is an incredible car. Taylor is such a talented driver too. What a privilege to live in a time when this is the level of competitor out there and he builds his own cars and makes us videos. So fucking rad.

[@Silverhaze78]

Driving around with grease under your fingernails from a car you just worked on and finished. It doesn't get much more legit than that.

[@Juan-ic5wv]

Nothing like the first drive

i love taylors content he's on the rise and i remember back when he was still living in that old house and thrashing the sr20! content just gets better and better over time!

[@JuPac420]

I know you probably won’t see this comment buried in your inbox, but I just wanted to let you know that I discovered your channel a while back and I’ve been hooked ever since. When I was younger I would work on cars with my dad, but he passed away when I was in high school and I don’t know anyone else whose into cars. Watching your channel reminds me of hanging out in the shop with him and trying to figure things out, and that feeling is priceless to me. I love the in depth explanations and trial and errors, you don’t edit out the mistakes. Please keep doing what you’re doing brother, it means more to people like me than you think.

[@derx6666]

That smile when driving at the end says it all. Love it man. Hope you do well in the comp.

[@LS__812]

Seriously one of my favorite cars (and creators) on KZbin! I can't wait to see this thing ripping at the next Klutch Kickers!

[@jeremyeubanks2387]

So damn cool seeing a dude that truly loves what he's doing and is successful on an upgrade..

[@benp1026]

You should put the 5.3 in your green truck and slap a turbo on it and make it a burnout truck for cleetus and cars

[@bryanvazquez8489]

Custom headers for the new motor set up would be killer

[@acherontiaatropos1]

The ones he is running now are junk but I think theres a reason hes not changed them I dont think there is much space

[@justin_parks]

Grab 1 of those garden pump up sprayer. I usually cut the very end off the wand then slip a rubber hose on it. Then just pump it up, push the trigger and it will push the fluid out. Been using them for years, does gear oil fine.

[@kyletice811]

Sounds like it pulls hard. Gotta love that extra torque when you grab the next gear and get thrown back in the seat again. Keep up the good work.

[@SirVic42]

Taylor Ray the Driver's biggest asset is Taylor Ray the Mechanic. Winning combo!

[@rolfr558]

Those flanges are probably different material than the piping, thats why they cracked in the first place and are hard to weld. Keep up the great work Taylor, legendary one man army!

[@roberthebert9693]

This has been the best build series to date

[@Sauerbrew777]

This is going to thrash so hard at Cleeter's Smokeshow PPV!

[@LatysGarage]

Don’t underestimate your skills Taylor it’s time to build yourself a set of nice 1 7/8 primary to 3 inch collector headers and be done with the exhaust leaks and really make that 6.2 breath to it’s full potential. Love your vids .

[@joedvorak1077]

I use a old Honda power steering pump to transfer fluid u just use a drill or impact on the pully bolt works wonders emptys a quart in secs lol

[@ijmodified]

That's pretty ingenious

[@joedvorak1077]

Thanks I can't waist time pumping fluid on flat rate jobs lol

[@D3thM3tal]

Those coolant bleeding kits are the best, everyone should have one.

[@bmxguy08]

look up "air lift coolant tool" its even better. it fills the system with zero air, no need to bleed it anymore

[@JonahSRT]

I’d love to see this thing tuned by Jeremy from fasterproms or Kevin from KSR. Love the youtube crossovers and I know either of them one do a damn good job

[@3ldnah]

Dude props to you- top dog I’ve ever seen in this realm of driver mechanic content creator. Been said many times but PROPS. Killin it

[@thenewnormal8853]

You can always remove one of the heater hoses to burp the system. Just crack One open start filling it up and when you get coolant coming out of the hose reinstall it finish filling it. They actually sell a fitting that goes on for the heater hose with a removable cap they work pretty well

[@jottow680]

also for your exhaust. if you put a short flex joint after the flange it should help stop it from cracking.

[@qijuans2920]

Freaking amazing! I definitely notice the difference from seeing that fast pull towards the end of the video. Your reaction afterwards summed it up. Nice!

[@annadarby7224]

Was waiting for this haha. Love the channel bro

[@Gahet]

The smile on your face during those pulls says it all! Congrats on finishing the build...for now!

[@rowaldwousie5289]

The exhaust note is dope!!!

[@kurtd8396]

I used a pump like that 2 times.... No More! I put a dip tube in a plastic oil jug thru the cap. Drill a small hole in the side near the top and pressurize the jug with a blow gun. Works like sucking a straw.

[@vintagetweed]

Another awesome video Taylor! It’s inspiring to see a build like this done by yourself in a home shop. The mists is gonna be a BEAST this season. Totally worth watching just to hear that extremely genuine “HOLY SHIT!”

[@Jdmonealp]

Rs4’s are some stiiiiiiicky bois. I’d recommend those on the front too. They are stickier than the tire you have on the front. They also don’t require much heat to get sticky

[@joequixotic3039]

I have been told to use 347 filler rod on stainless because it will weld 321 pipes. 321 is the best for headers that last. I know people use ER70-06S MIG wire for filler rod on 4130 tubing. Evidently the Silicon makes it flow well. I'm not surprised that it worked on Stainless but it may corrode rapidly with all the heat and a kind of dissimilar metal joint. Keep an eye on it.

[@Bliggida]

The big slime (tire sealant) jugs are great for pumping thick fluids!

[@dyllanpritt1605]

I love seeing you get sucked back into your seat even in your own car knowing when you are shifting love it man keep it up

[@Woodie-xq1ew]

instead of using the pump bottle you can buy a 12 volt diesel/oil transfer pump. they are sometimes sold as a kit to drain your own tank if you put the wrong fuel in so it may come with a piece of tube

[@jottow680]

when i did the dsg trans on my vw. i hacked a weed sprayer. added the oil to it, and used that to push the oil into the trans. made it wayyy easier. made another one for regular oils. sped it up so much. to do it that way takes forever. the proper "tool" to do it properly is $200 bucks. i spent $30, and its basically the same thing.

[@cruge5774]

Can not wait for the footage from Clutch Kickers! I am hoping Taylor is going to have a test session at the Freedom Factory before the event for a little bit of practice and so we can see what the 6.2 can do! Good Luck at Clutch Kickers Taylor!

[@nickcaputo9938]

These videos are so well put together, Taylor is way to under-rated.

[@CMgraffix]

don't forget the wheel alignment, seems heaps faster, do silver roll cage to match the Bride, well done Taylor, you have come such a long way in terms of experience with cars, bravo, dyno will help the tune I'm sure?

[@Vsala90]

I honestly just want to build a 6.2ls Miata so I can feel what Taylor is feeling. Pure joy!!!

[@zackmartin814]

Hey tayler instead of using that soap or fliud despenser try using a old windshield washer fluid tank with the pump on it. Just put your fluid into the tank and put 12volt to it and it pumps it right in, fastest way ive used yet to fill a trans or diff up!

[@nickheywood8758]

Taylor, for any time you are TIG welding unknown grades of stainless or mild steel to stainless try 309 stainless filler wire, works really well for unknown grades!

[@rigobertooliveros9467]

You know when u have the perfect car when u react like this @27:33

[@austinreeves5558]

That clutch bleeder line and putting it in the res is genious!

[@Dr_Mike2]

I second the need for googly eyes in the 2 vent holes in the center control stack. Maybe with Taylor's signature glasses!!

[@eagleeyes221]

you should add flex couplers to your y pipe on each flange. The flanges may have cracked because there was no room for thermal expansion and contraction. Hope this helps

[@stinky15552]

@Taylor Ray those smiles at 27 mins thats what its all about man

[@ForeverLoco4]

Taylor get one of those drill pumps. It's a pump you put on your drill with an inlet and outlet. I have one it's amazing.

[@jonfarley7892]

really happy to hear your laughter in this one dude i come across your channel when you very first started this build in the old garage, keep up the good honest work dude your one of the better youtubers out there so keep killing it!

[@stipitza]

I was so waiting for the "do it for dale" at the end.... I've been watching too much cleetus

[@MichaelS537]

With how often I see him on Cleetus' channel now I sometimes get confused.

[@ashmars_]

idk, it seems very rare to see taylor gettin this excited doin a pulls, i think this show the miata is really ripping hard now. goodluck for the next clutch kicker event.

[@SkyLow04]

Tip! when theres a crack you dont want to just weld it up because it can continue to crack after its welded, u want to drill a whole at the end of each crack to stop the crack from continuing

[@auronapi]

Hey Taylor, when storing your tires you should remove the bands on them. The can warp the rubber and make balancing them harder (or make it where the tires need to be rebalanced after sitting on the car for even a day).

[@xiukn8]

Dan he doesn’t even balance drift wheels 🙄

[@Smazes]

love watching your vids man. the smile on your face is priceless. Had the same smile from just recently getting my car back together with a slightly bigger turbo than stock and going on a drive and ripping, its a fucking blast.

[@theangryitalianscottypiffi1048]

Taylor has the best house/garage compound combo in the KZbin games IMO. It’s sick he has multi bay garage to work out of the sun. And his Miata is one of my favorites in the game.. maybe even better than Rudnicks white roadster.

[@jsomething2]

it's Ben's house

[@ibidu1]

Maybe your exhaust pipe is stainless, but the flange could be mild steel. Im thinking thats why stainless rods arent welding to it that great. Also would explain the seperation between the two metals. They weld together, but you dont get that strong of a weld fusion

[@TeEzTeR]

Taylor that 6.2 sounds visceral!!! I was smiling along with ya in the video and hella excited for you and to see it drift!

[@Fantaman900]

I use a ratchet pump for filling transmissions from the bottom.

[@jamesderrick691]

The four spokes on Ben's LSM are life

[@anthonyperry8466]

I feel like cleetus should set him up with the guys at nitto for a sponsorship so he always has tires

[@911fidzfolks]

i like the way u build this beast...clutch kickers its urs now... good luck n keep drifting fun...

[@hidog420]

Talk about a good feeling! Hell yeah brother, nice job knocking this out. Looking forward to you and Cleet building the Vette.

[@Brother2Jis_27s4]

Pro tip, get a mighty vac that does pressure and vaccum or get a drill pump for adding fluid. Mighty vac $120-150, drill pump $5-10 hardware store

[@xRSAkingx]

As much as I love the sound of pure freedom, this thing at least needs a glass pack. I love this build though. I wanna build this for an AutoX set up

The smile at 29:57 tells more then anything you said :D, Welcome to the big boy power. Glad it worked out for you :) Good luck at Drift event bruh!

[@Onewheelordeal]

You could totally just provide air pressure to a container of fluid with the output hose submerged and then pump the fluid out. I fill diffs with a modified bug sprayer bottle

[@VanishingImage]

Time for vband exhaust!! No more leaks. Awesome video. That new motor sounds pure eargasm

[@NecoOmnis]

Buy some 309 filler rod. Its great for cheap stainless with too much carbon in it and also stainless to carbon steel welding. Even does cast pretty well. Back purge helps with the cracks too ;)
