First Drift Comp With the New LS3 In The Miata! Will She Hold Together!? One-Week Rebuild Test!

[@Thelifeofzeus471]

i never thought that seeing someone build an LS miata and drifting it would be one of my favourite things on youtube xD

[@tun1034]

Same here

[@Granch23]

Yeah no shit😂😂😂

[@OryanGoulbourne29]

I never liked miatas, but since taylor baught his i only hate that i am 6:3 and i cant fit. "Sigh"

[@redactedmind7115]

@@OryanGoulbourne29 what about the NB? One of the next gens are taller people friendly from what I was told. The styling of the NC model is the Fugly-ist imo. The NB or ND but can't remember of the top of my head because I can say I've been amazed how many of the drivers fit into any of the generations.

[@littlekencil7233]

Me to its super fast now

[@Possezz]

Taylor, merch idea for you. Shirts or whatever with the Miata drifting on them, with the smoke spelling 'Moral of the story'. I'll pipe down and watch the video now. Hoping you smash it

[@dylanaldred6673]

Or yadda yadda. Says it almost every vid.

[@thunderbirdizations]

Or “It’s just one of those things y’know!” Haha

[@gregkusturin6491]

Yadda yadda for sure. Lol

[@maxfoerster891]

LS3 MiYaddaYadda maybe?

[@elicarey421]

or 'it's a game changer"

[@devinbuchhorn]

Adam sleeping on his upload.....Taylor to the rescue!! Can't wait to see how you did.

[@uhok3567]

He keeps blaming the rain he cant vlog yet there aint no rain LOL

[@goswellmike]

Full broadcast on klutch kickers KZbin.

[@siddadood]

uh ok rain is collets middle name

[@stealthyxsaint123]

Adam sucks now lol he’s made enough money of KZbin

[@Vsala90]

We need some LS Miata merch. Wish I would have bought some more garage built and drift vette shirts. Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@beasteast23]

Yes need merch

[@theburias]

I’d totally buy it

[@redactedmind7115]

No Turbo No Problem Shirt is my fav. I see Ray wear.

[@charliemonkow3255]

beasteast23 ppp

[@nathantrumbull3644]

Who else can say this is one of their favorite KZbin channels? No drama, no bs, just a norman guy having fun. Keep it up Taylor!

[@quincyrocker5121]

ATTENTION : if you are a tire company/tire company employee. SPONSOR THIS MAN PLEASE. If there is a deserving person of a quality tire sponsor it is Taylor "Slayer" Ray.

[@Gusmanbro]

Just my daily reminder: Get a tune soon!

[@devinbuchhorn]

Kevin at KSR!!! You know Cleet can hook it up.

[@acherontiaatropos1]

Yeahbir Jeremy he ports intakes too which taylor said he needs

[@Physhi]

A blower AND a tune!

[@travismichelin6450]

I think its awsome that all you can hear is turbo when adam was following lol

[@FreeUpTheWeed]

Think you mean wastegate

[@tun1034]

@@FreeUpTheWeed more like compressor flutter

[@craigdavies3361]

Definitely wastegate and spool

[@sffabrications3872]

Taylor. Thank you for bringing us drama free content. I’m not a drift guy,yet. But I so very much appreciate this channel.

[@captainuniversalart3796]

I've been following Taylor for a long time now. I'm gonna admit I haven't been the most active subscriber, but I'm liking every vid from now on. Gotta be the one the most genuine car youtuber out there. Insane builds that probrably cost a pretty penny but for some reason, you don't ever get that feeling of flex. Like I've watched alot of youtubers start from the ground up, eventually turn to flexxin to stay relevant. This guy genuinely loves what he does, only does what he needs, and brings us along every step of the way. His garage always has this feeling of "I've actually been used" and he always looks as if he's been cleaning chimneys by the end of it. His builds are informative and relatable in every way, not some JDM version of supercars we'd never able to obtain. He fuxs a car up on the track and ACTUALLY FIXES IT. I respect the grind will take you places beyond now and even further. Just keep bringing us along my g.

[@pedalman4595]

You are the most incredible driver I have ever seen. I have never seen someone so relaxed in a vehicle in my life. You are a talent to be reckoned with. Good Luck to the challenger.

[@jacobbafia5859]

The 6.2 just sounds so rowdy!

[@kevinhibbard320]

my exact words. so much more low end tone on the camera.

[@Taylordrifts]

It's so much less raspy than the 5.3 was!

[@joshua6505]

10:30 Tyler is a humble ass dude... That was a very decent run looked comfortable!!! Very nice driving.!!

[@websadoes]

It's honestly staggering how fast it looks in drift. Keep up the good content!

[@Taylordrifts]

It feels insane with those tires.lol

[@johnminer204]

It was awesome to meet you and watch you drift! My boys and I had a great time at the event!!

[@SeriouslyCool]

Omg it looks like it's so much faster through transitions. Good luck!!!

[@painedinks]

Ladies and gentlemen the man the myth!! I give you Mr Taylor Ray! Your killing it man! Its so badass to watch you building this thing and then running it through the gambit! Well done my friend!

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

Taylor our LS Jeep will be joining you soon!!

[@EGHeartattack]

Hell yeah dude! Can’t wait to see it out! Love the channel

[@GARAGEIdiotS]

EG Heartattack thanks man!

[@exoticsenior636]

Dude, the speed you were on those corners, made me feel like i had the video in 2x speed.

[@Sauerbrew777]

You should be proud! You built an amazing machine! edit: please go get a dyno tune asap!

[@bengeorge4180]

That’s what i was thinking. That thing would make so much more power on a nice tune

[@salsaaa_verde]

I've been subscribed since you started drifting the C5 and decided to go LS in the Miata. Its dope to finally see you competing at this level and I know you can take home the win! Kill it Taylor!

[@Franks_Garage]

Damn man anybody elses car just been sitting for like 2 years and u start to lose sight of the vision, but vids like this im thumbin up off rip and tryin to hang in there make the dreams come true

[@Bradfordgarage]

You know what I would love to see and would be sick. Seeing Taylor in the subie and Adam in the evo doing a road trip somewhere

[@Possezz]

Yeah man, hopefully they plan something. I'm pretty sure Taylor built the car to shred back roads with LZ

[@kevinhibbard320]

Curious to see how this goes, Matt the Ginge was pretty vocal in your favor about one battle.

[@gasolinedreams2691]

Seems like such a nice dude. I’m glad cleetus turned me on to this channel. I learn a lot from it.

[@4399daniel]

I was sitting her in Australia madly clicking through peoples insta stories and going through the klutch kickers post to find comments about why I couldn’t see you competing. Absolutely devastated to find out you got knocked out for dropping 2 wheels. Head up mate. You’re a damn legend and a killer driver. Next time mate. We’re all backing you! 🇦🇺✊

[@paullmight42]

the cockpit footage from the chases were intense...all up on their quarter panel...dope...there's just something about seeing a drone tail you like that...so cool

[@calvinlee449]

Yours and Ben's Miata look great out there!!! And hells fun to drive!!! Thanks for all the great content!

[@GhettoJesus23]

From watching vipers on 1320 to this. Great timing

[@PedroKP30]

same :D

[@RadDadisRad]

Lol, same

[@mhoovair89]

Same thing here 😂 I just wish they were in Indiana so I could film / chase them with my drone

[@IDlikeanEvo]

Hellll yeahh Taylor you got this man !!! Bring back a trophy ! And for a new engine that you barely try and go straight to comp, mann you absolutely killed it for real !

[@RocksConcreteMinerals]

I love your driving style. You are very fluid in your drifts. Hitting all the clips and entries cleanly. I am looking forward to see your skills in person someday

[@RocksConcreteMinerals]

BTW Ive watched Mr Manners drift for over 10years. Troy Manners is definitely a Clubloose2 guy

[@isaacberry5023]

Damn that new engine is a ripper. Super sauce setup 😎

[@smokeymcdrifts5442]

That last run with you and John, you're the only one to even keep up with that car! Things a monster

[@Xempt_One]

I swear if someone gave you a pro2 or pro1 car to drive a season youd do brilliantly. You gotta be one of the top drivers out there.

[@matejsommer72]

The windshield cam footage was perfect!

[@PGHdrift]

I am pumped it made it threw day for you. Always a weight lifted when you end the day on a high with just basically untested drivetrain.

[@grahamefreestone5309]

Nothing like a bit of Taylor Ray before bedtime at 1:45am UK time. Lol. Nice driving buddy. 👍

[@bronzephoeniks3484]

love the cut you made while saying: "over the last WEEK!" at 0:49

[@DeejayPozE]

Dude I get so stoked when you upload. It's always on my half hour drive home too! No I don't put my phone on the dash...

[@christophermclaughlin6738]

As the clutch friction disc seats into the fly wheel and pressure plate, the dish spring fingers where the throw out bearing presses, extend towards the throw out bearing. Less shims.

[@RollingwithRuckus]

it needs to be painted red again! I miss it from when it was red. great job on this build, we love it 👍

[@LS__812]

Loved watching you smoking them tires yesterday. It's definitely a CERTIFIED RIPPER!

[@AnalogAssassin1]

Radiator is working great, you wear at 191 leaving the line on first run and it had cooled down to 189 by initiation.

[@joeyboburka5147]

Very impressive driving. Super close to clipping points and very good control for a car car as twitchy and short as a Miata. 👌👌

[@NAUT758]

3:00 big brain. That's the first time I realized you can warm up your transmission

[@CMgraffix]

Hard luck Ben, a lot of potential, keep going Ben, good luck Taylor

[@97MrFluffy]

Great to see the Miata is working and getting the job done, a real shame for Ben though, would of been great for him if he got further in the comp

[@TurboJohnRacing]

Nice, boy you make it look so easy. Love it!

[@davecolquhoun9315]

And I like the roof cam perspective best, the one that was last on this video!!

[@brandonsoto2160]

I hope there’s more drift comps like this. Give top level pro drivers and grass roots guys like yourself to actually make some money

[@WheelerManis]

Killin' it, Taylor. Fantastic work up to this point, as always you've exceeded your own expectations! Best damn series on KZbin.

[@tristancartwright5700]

Hi Taylor, your RS4's are rain tires, might be why they felt a bit weird! we run re71r's in dry and rs4's on a wet track on our WRL car.

[@colinpotter9479]

Man.. hearing adams 1j screaming was pretty sicm

[@IlahhNZL]

1.5JZ*

[@1dickycat]

Lookin good out there man. So just a thought on your clutch issue, yes it could be the shims that need adjusted but also don't overlook your master cylinder bore.. Just wanted to throw that out there

[@carlosmarquez3844]

Maaaan you are rocking that new engine !!

[@sanyone1659]

I'm so happy that in the end all that talking about tire saving V8 drift miata was bullshit and not you being delirious :D Love all the smoke ;3

[@redmxnd]

Catching up to the guy ahead on your first run just proves the LS power!

[@HatchieeOG]

wow youre killing it taylor, loving the recent videos. you seem really motivated rn

[@ryanacevedoo]

Gnarly video fam

[@JesusRivera-oe1jw]

Damn son I'm gonna have to watch Adam's video now to see that e36 run. I barely even heard the ls under the jz!

[@undefined_garage]

Check your adjustment if it’s a hydro clutch it should be grabbing on the floor and the more wear and tear the further out it goes if the rod is grabbing all the way out your 100% out of adjustment and will burn the clutch up quickly

[@jp_vlogz]

Yooo this was so dope! Glad the car is doing well! Hope to make one of these events soon! Keep up the awesome work brotha! 😎👊🏽🦾😤

[@quentinbaher4967]

you should get a gopro 360 camera for on the roof so that you can the guy following better! needless to say I love the content and keep up the good work!

[@OwenBuckingham11]

I fly the same drones you see chasing cars at this event, you should ask the pilots for the footage to use in your videos. I'm sure they would love to send it to you and the footage they can get is incredible!

[@halfspecgarage9169]

Have been a sub since the original garage days and i can say one thing. I am now building a ls miata 😂💯

[@andrew.4g637]

I watched this with my optical audio headset and holy shit the intro sounded sweet with the cars revving in all directions

[@crazymike401]

hope ben enjoyed the day, he seemed to be pushing it. the guy in front of you at the end wow was he good

[@TheSteve1175]

Holy smokes dude none stop action. No pause for,,well I'm gonna ad 2 degrees of timing at 5200 😁 My heart was beating purple panther piss 😁 Had to pause it to go pee, to breath 😁 Wow, don't know the rules but that was awesome..😇

[@daymeianrichardson6239]

Your not as sideways as Adam but damn you can drift. Good job Taylor I wanna Miata now

[@jamietoolin8352]

First run, sound so much meaner, looks like it’s a monster

[@jamietoolin8352]

245’s are like a cheat code. Can’t wait to see the next one

[@AGuysGarage]

What a unit, a weapon for sure.

[@daveyzoutenbier3666]

Always waiting for your video’s! You drove very good, better luck next time. Greetz from Netherlands

[@isaacgerman4542]

So Taylor says to warm up the transmission by putting it in gear and letting the wheels turn, but as long as the clutch is out, even if the car is in neutral the gears should be turning and warming up right? I guess the diff oil will still be cold but I think the transmission would warm up while the engine is running

[@nastyy_mk4]

The ls3 looks like it's working well for you! That'd be a fun swap. I'd piss myself hearing Adams 1.5jz behind me like that 😂

[@zjohnson9809]

Dang man. That thing is snappy now!

[@91gsixty]

I was gonna say, he hasn't bitched about the new tires yet. But if more grip is a bad thing you can always put in nitrogen ;) lol Good run Good Fun! I call that a successful 1 week build!

[@codyreynolds6936]

Would love to see a pedal cam some day if possible Taylor, that'd be sick!

[@BOOT]

Warming up the Diff also

[@daviddiaz3910]

Awesome Brother. Car sounds amazing. Maybe do a small turbos car will fly with around 800 hp

[@hidog420]

My dude can drive yo! Car seams like it's working pretty good.

[@robertlarsonjr7709]

When I did my monster clutch you’re supposed to do a bed in procedure for 500 miles if you guys did not do it that might be a problem.

[@luckyttico9772]

What an effortless engine.

[@sebjebofficial6230]

That new engine sounds so diiiiiiiirrrtttyyyyyy, pretty mint dude love the channel 👌👌👌👌👌👌 Ale ty jest ziebiste.

[@redactedmind7115]

That Grip💪 surging on them 😘👌. Sha-wing We're not worth! We're not worth!

[@jaycrabs420]

Wanted to see ben do good with this car first comp. Good luck next time ben. Good luck in next rounds taylor

[@SlidewaysMotion]

Im shocked ben didnt place high, I guess he is still learning about his new car and comps. He's gonna be up there w taylor for sure

[@aln5439]

That was an awesome first run keep up the good work you’re getting better and better bro🦾🦾🦾

[@LouSassles]

I can't wait till Texas speed gives Taylor a fully built motor. I'm totally looking forward to when Taylor adds some boost to his racing program

[@shotgun_chef3265]

Might be time for either heads and intake stuff or just put an LSA on the L92.

[@joshehman3571]

good job! car is pulling hard!

[@chrismartin6544]

Let’s go baby let’s kick some clutches lol Wait what happened where is the rest man what a tease brother you can’t leave us hanging like that.

[@letsgobrandon329]

I see a turbo or some nose in the future to put some danger to manifold and surge on them spicy turbo cars.

[@vagentsmooth7406]

Your car.... RAAAAWRRRA Adam's car.... pew pew pew Love it

[@myefhatch]

Super stoked about this! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@TearothDK]

Have you considered fastback conversion, Taylor? I think it would look sick on your Miata.

[@SOfilmable]

A pedal cam would be sick !!

[@jackthayer904]

get that thing to ksr fabrication or fasterproms for a toon stat

[@wswsart]

Ben is developing significantly

[@jorilarson4141]

Good luck homie. Car rips

[@ameirabbden5290]

Man..its way2 faster n gripier than the last setup for sure..do u ran the same tire pressure as 5.3??did swapping to 6.2 messed the balance??
