black miata here :D just checked the footage and i was going flat out until exactly 2:01, i remember being impressed of how much distance you made actually. stock 1.8 140hp in case anyone wonders

[@blackace4423]

Misha you have to admit that the MX-5 was not only faster cornering but also on acceleration 🤣

[@mgcharoudin]

I broke a 5 door Mk4 the other day, the rear doors alone must almost weight that of a person, so kinda no wonder the paper thin MX5 could keep up.

Only just faster than a tractor lol.

[@marquito_20082]

1.9 tdi 110 hp ?

[@darjanator]

I remember when I got my PD130 tuned to around 175hp and 400Nm (at the flywheel) and the different in acceleration was immediately apparent. Not just more of it, but available at more of the rev range. And surprisingly, dropped my average fuel consumption by about 10% too.

[@Sireristof1332]

jop is for most diesels, cause the avg injection doesnt really change, but u accelerate way quicker

[@cosminmihu9963]

I was also amazed at my father's PD100 back in 2007, tuned had around 150hp and huge difference. I still have it to this day as a secondary car. Turbocharger failed at 265 000, everything else maintenance.

[@Corsa15DT]

Fuel consumption doesn't drop, its impossible. The trip computer is a bitch.

NIce going Misha!! We've got the ALH version and changing the rear silencer out for a free flow type really helped it at the top of the rpm range, and lets the turbo run cooler. A cheap mod that you will definitely feel.

[@rs-flamingo]

I love the charm hanging from your rear view mirror, it’s like an analog G meter

Really enjoying your tracktor laps! I remember when I remapped my old Octavia 1.9TDI 105KM to 140KM and that was the quickest car in the world with eibach springs and proper 17" tyres (i was 19 then) :D Now I've found 1.9TDI 100PD (Leon 1M) mod to Assetto Corsa and it's my favourite car to learn each centimeter of sim-nordschleife.

[@hamzasherazi9334]

It definitely feels like it made a difference. You are gonna build the motor anyway. Can't wait for the suspension to go on, then tracktor is gonna look and perform a lot better. Right now with the exception of suspension, it's pretty bang on for someone new on the track or someone who wants daily + tracktool vibes from a car.

[@madridista703usa3]

Good job misha it’s getting faster

[@AeroMad91]

It's interesting how you're suffering the issue with not being able to heel toe. While owning a Cupra R I never managed to trigger this protection unless the brake was applied after the accelerator, I guess this was something coded specifically to the BAM engine. I did however find a small glitch (so I think anyway) involving the ESP. Say you lose grip and you have a steering input, the ESP as expected would intervene and reduce throttle as required. All well and good, until you lift off the accelerator. Turns out even when the pedal is lifted to idle during intervention, the ESP continues to hold the throttle for a second or two. Great video as always, stay safe!

[@mgcharoudin]

Cupra R is probably mapped for this, it is a Cupra R after all. A 1.9 TDI is not intended for track use.

[@BradyT90]

Hello Misha 🙋🏻‍♂️ really appreciated this series :D I have Skoda Fabia vRS mk1 wich aslo had 1.9 TDI (stock 96 kw) and my goals are the same :D make it into first track ready car :D actually I have Bilstein B8 dampers, VoGTland springs, Powerflex bushes around, better rotors and pads (stock dimension) and stainless catback exhaust 2.5" and its really fun to drive :D next mods are bigger brakes - after that new turbo and fmic and I hope next year we come to Nurburgring :D continue! lot of inspriration for me thx :D

[@786carrera]

I can safely say this was an enjoyable lap to watch

[@markacevedo441]

Car seems much quicker Misha at least it does not lug along anymore it seems, very cool!

[@InitialDAmine]

Slowly but surely the traktor is becoming more and more of a race car, It's funny to see parts fitted to the car that are more expensive than it :D lol

[@flippy9133]

in my old 1.9tdi toledo you had to hold the TC button longer for it to turn it off completely, if you just pressed it it would only turn off the anti slip

[@Fox8ball.]

Car sounds really good too

[@superbecx]

Scared of a miata,never had this problem with my leon tdi 😎

[@gedas3419]

Get a gt2260v (bmw 330d) turbo for it, intercooler, injectors and a remap and it would be everything you need for it. 250-300 wheel is enough. With a good tune though. Have seen 1.9 tdi who barely hit 200 with bad map

You may need to hold the traction control button down longer (for 5-10 seconds until the dashboard light is permanently on) for the system to fully disengage.

[@arnoldkul3827]

The light is clearly always on the dashboard as you can clearly see it in the video, you only need to hold it a sec or two so that it turn's on the dashboard light

[@DuBstep115]

Looks like about 5-10hp and 10-20Nm more would be enough to keep accelerating on the uphill part. Its so close to pulling without slowing down. Second option ofc drop 50kg weight from car.
