Review: Modified 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata

[@valesco_rx]

Oh god, stock seats with 4 point harnesses and a style bar, that's horrible and dangerous.

[@MyOpinionMatterss]

Valesco Hm That was my first thought too. The fart can, stretched tires, slam all ruin the car IMO but the harness mounted to the style bar is downright dangerous. What kind of ghetto autocross tech inspection passes that?

[@aidin67]

And a steering wheel with no airbag. Crash in this car is insta-death.

[@2chill475]

Dude not saying style bars are bad but you literally have one in your profile pic.

[@Isaac_GMspecialist]

2 Chill ....thats not a style bar bro

[@2chill475]

well what he was saying was that he could hit his head on it. Whether its on a chrome style bar or half cage no difference.

[@kyleminissale3318]

love the modified car reviews! as someone who modifies their cars, it's nice to get a stock to modified comparison

[@TWRX_Chuck]

"Modded for autocross" haha zero mods here for a legit autocross car. "Modded for free internet points" is more likely.

[@heeltoe6845]

T-WRX tons of rear camber = tons of rear end grip, especially with those shitty all seasons 😂 nothing about this car is for autocross.

[@2chill475]

first off they aren't all seasons, they're summers, and secondly I own a miata myself and with coilovers and lowering springs comes natural camber especially in the back. He didn't do it on purpose at all. Anyways autocross is supposed to be all about fun so why make fun of someone for trying to

[@heeltoe6845]

Are those T1R tires? Might as well be all seasons. The only tires even worthy of using for autocross are the Bridgestone RE71R and BFG Rival S.

[@heeltoe6845]

And also the reason you don't slam a car for autocross is so you don't have -10deg camber. -3deg is usually the most you'd want for autox.

[@TWRX_Chuck]

2 Chill fun fact I used to own a Miata and built it for autocross. it had none of the nonsense going on that this car has.

[@babyjoker360]

I love this unique video review from you. Keep them coming. It's nice to see a little change here and there but nonetheless love all the reviews you do!

[@TRUJILLOmuscle]

BEST VIDEO AND REVIEW YET! Killin the game Matt.

[@tracetrempus3804]

I am really good friends with riley and he works his ass off everyday looking for new cool stuff that will make his car better than before... I really think he did a great job on it. Good job bud

Works his ass of for all those "quality parts", and stickers.

[@valentemedina5102]

Now this is what I like to see, different cars, modified cars, stock cars! More variety the better your channel will grow!

[@BaldCreations]

Should've tested it over a speed bump

[@svandorst1]

I'm really surprised by all the hate on this car. I guess some people can't see past the sticker bombing. For a car pushing almost 220k miles, it's clean as hell.

[@svandorst1]

And being 25 years old

[@GoProGuy12]

Miata gang let's go!!!

[@tikijojo]

Great review. There are tons of "stock" reviews out there, but modified cars are fewer. Keep it up.

[@joshvaz00]

what are the odds I was just thinking about Miatas lol

[@leightonhornack5376]

I’m always thinking about Miatas

[@clubracer6]

Right on Matt! Everyone has their own tastes and that is what makes the car culture cool and fun.

[@pushhrodd01]

I don't get why everyone is hating haha. I love this miata. Modify your car the way you want to modify it. You can either do what everyone else does and fit in, or do your own thing and stand out. My miata is sticker bombed and looks similar to this on the interior yet everyone says they love it. I respect this guys build just like I would like people to respect mine.

[@lukehackman]

One of my favorites areas in western PA, love cruising down route 8!

[@drifter2090]

Would love to have that miata! its very well done

[@seinsmeld13]

Great video, keep up the good work. I had one of these which I drove year round including through the winter with 4 winter tires on it. Great car. Very dependable. I miss it however it doesn't compare to my Boxster S.

[@cerrystyle]

Not a fan of a car full of stickers but this MX looks like a lot of JDM's out there.. fun!

[@trash3570]

While it may not be how I would mod my Miata, however, I love the fact that it's like a go cart because that's what makes a car fun! A street legal go cart, sweet

now there you go reviewing my car!

Miata are fun cars, I really want the new RF version

[@recordsofbas]

U haven’t done a review on the NB miata, you’ve done it to all the other gens, do the NB for the heck of it?

[@Antoniodiana_5.0]

what up @subaruwrxfan can you please do a 2nd generation Mitsubishi eclipse review if you can? I'm interested in the car but i want to see how it would be to drive.

[@dantheman070]

It sucks, most of them are front wheel drive and notorious for breaking down and being difficult to keep on the road. I would run away from that car so fast lol

[@Antoniodiana_5.0]

Dan P oh shit. thanks man i appreciate the advice.

[@zackarylading9666]

I just bought a 1991 Miata and love it so much granted it's trash compared to this but I still love it

[@metaomicron72]

I stopped watching when I saw the sticker bomb interior. Is the owner 16?

[@drunkpolack7612]

LazyRock ikr disgusting

[@iDrive4fun93]

LazyRock no, he is an individual who can do whatever the hell he wants to his car.

[@dantheman070]

Very true, just don't be surprised or butthurt when people point out how ridiculous your car looks. Personally I don't understand why all 16 year old's think this crap is unique or cool, you're just ruining the car.

[@Hello_its_me_mario]

LazyRock lol ikr. what's worst is he autocross this. like seriously what do u race against?

[@gregbatista919]

Riley Holl

[@SuperSaiyan32]

He sounds like me when I go to a meet with my miata, and they ask me a question and I just saywhatever smell comes to mind xD

[@SuperSaiyan32]

It runs a orange 360 time at the nurburgergringe x track at my high school

[@eurownedmk71.88]

Ok this is a nicely done miata the tires arent really stretched its not too slammed who cares about the interior stuff like the stickers cause they are inside the car instead of all over the windshield which is lame on a car like this and thats not a fart can and it sounds good, when you weld on a cheap fart on your stock exhuast thats a fart can not a full catback with a can style muffler two different things. People are lame ass hell in the comments section. Much respect on this build!

[@Enduro_NY]

if he put some itb on that thing it would sound sick love the sounds of miatas with itb prob better sound then a turbo tbh and thats hard to say

It's a nice car overall. But who the hell puts the air intake next to the exhaust manifold?? This mod it's taking at least 5hp off, even more when the engine is hot.

[@coureurdebois]

i get that Miata's have a big fan-base... but i just never liked them, too small, not enough power, and just not that great over all.

[@andyw_]

I would highly recommend watching a spec miata racing video. Theyre an absolute blast even thought theyre slow and small.

[@princesssarahgaming7806]

I own a little miata and I've gotta say even stock they feel speedy. They're honestly just cheap and fun :) it's that simple! I got a miata to learn manual, and honestly I'm very glad I did!

[@coureurdebois]

i have driven a few miata's and i just don't think they are as great as people claim them to be. with that said i can barely fit into one at 6'3+ 250 lbs.

[@princesssarahgaming7806]

Ahh see I'm 5' nothing and 125lbs so it's basically me sized XD

[@coureurdebois]

PrincessSarahGaming oh wow, damn, well if i as your size i sure i would enjoy the Miata a lot more, sadly though : /

[@joshvaz00]

meeeyaaata!

[@Mak933]

I once heard that the Miata is a poor man's S2000.

[@lancermafia1982]

Mak933 Well the RX-7 was called the poor mans C5 Corvette. Which is true cause if you do a LS swap all you literally have is a smaller C5 Corvette.

[@erendyalatorre7785]

Mak933 why an s2000 and m roadster would be better

[@theyhatehimbecausehetoldth7576]

Lancer Mafia then again, the fd is now worth more than a c5, making it no longer the poor mans c5. The c5 is all around a much much better bang for your buck car.

Glad He didn't Go 'Overboard' with the 'engine'!! Keep it mainly 'stock'...The WAY I LIKE IT!! No turbo's for me THANKS!!

Moar Desu did I hit a nerve?

[@DesuVR]

Riley Hollihan I must have hit yours if you're replying to my comment.

[@Riley_CL9]

Moar Desu but you're commenting on my review trying to make some kind of point hoping for likes?

[@dantheman070]

I don't think he's looking for likes or trying to make any points. He simply pointed out that he does not like the car. He has his opinion and in case you didn't notice right under the review it says "what do you think of this car?" It does not say, please post only sugary candy coated comments about the car so the owner can feel good about himself. Dude going around arguing with everyone that has a different opinion on the car is stupid, everyone is going to have a different opinion about the car and not all will be positive but at the end of the day it's your car, it should make you happy because I assure you everyone else is going to forget about it as soon as they are done with the video. If you can't handle people having a different opinion than you maybe don't post it on the internet?

[@zacharycromlish7337]

To all the people bagging on this car, the owner actually does autocross, so sit down and shut up.

[@Addison0526]

I'll never understand why people think that just throwing in a cai will be better for their car. The intake is almost sitting on the headers...

[@kimj633]

Hey what's up everybody subarjfudjfan here

[@carlosbarragan1673]

the hot air intake LOL... next to the headers... , at least that owner should heat sheald it or redirect to the bumper...

[@him4201]

The car is nice looking but it is unsafe the style bar is not safe let alone not good for a harness bar

[@drewh9044]

Neat car

[@AznS0ulja]

needs a turbo

[@AmandaTimothy1]

I see that the open cone air filter gets to suck the heated air right off the exhaust headers.....Pretty much guarantee my stock breather system is delivering cooler denser air then that set up. Poorly done.

[@xTheNameisEthan]

Pretty sure anyone over like 30 thinks an aftermarket exhaust on a Japanese car is automatically a fart can

His "cold" air intake is in like the worst possible place. Sucking in hot air off the headers.

Kind of a pointless review because who's going to modify a there is the same way as yours

[@MattMaranMotoring]

+froggersman this is usually my thinking as well but people have been requesting reviews of modified cars so I decided to do a few. But for the most part I leave that to other youtubers. I'll continue to stay focused on mostly stock reviews as I feel they help car shoppers the most.

[@RyGuyTheAVGuy]

someone looking to buy a gen 1 Miata, can give you ideas.

It's nice to have modified car reviews too it doesn't have to be a review for a potential buyer just what you think of it (if it's modified)

froggersman Way to ruin it...

[@zzzzaaattt12321]

froggersman was that even fucking English?

[@klasseact6663]

The work that went into the car is first rate, you don't see full paint jobs like that normally but what you do see is ratted out dust piles that are Gerry rigged. I could do without the stretch but we've all seen worse out there. the sticker bomb on the roof doesn't bother me and I'm almost 47, is something I would do, well no because I'm almost 47 but even that fits the car. One thing I don't like is the Crown Royal shift boot. This gives off a bad impression when you get pulled over. I mean I understand the concept of VIP but I would've skipped that. In closing the car is autoX'd, tip of the cap to you there, at least it's being used like that!
