[@tadaapenwolf]

Your editing gets so much better with each video

[@suhailtamatane]

content as always is awesome taylor - but i just wanna say that i really admire and love the way you do your videos, the cinematography to the editing and just all of it!

[@Taylordrifts]

+SuhailDC2R thanks man! Practice makes perfect. I'm trying to continually get better. I learn from each one.

[@KameTrick]

Tire size is a huge factor for cost to drift, I got similar wear from my S-chassis when it wasn't pushing huge power on 205/15's, but miatas look better with tiny tires 😀 Even with an LS I still get close a full event out of a set but it depends on heat management and driving style. Nice editing, too! It seems more polished but not overboard with POV changes.

[@rydazim]

I’ve been following you since your first video. Back in the day when LZ kept calling you Kevin lol. We actually met when I went to BC back in 2017 when I was picking up new coilovers for my 350z. I got out of the drift world for many years but I’m getting back into it with a Miata. Since I’m switching chassis I’m doing my KZbin research and came across this super old video. So much of it still holds true. It also really cool to see how far you’ve come. From a 2 car garage in a house you were renting with your buddies to the house you bought with that huge shop. Keep up the grind man. You are still my favorite KZbin channel to watch. You are still so relatable unlike many of the other channels out there.

[@andreimitroi]

7:38 sweet rev-matching transition

[@jacobharmon2085]

Keep waving at people t ray, people need some love in their life's. Thanks for another classic.

[@Andysavyd69]

Man the come up has been so real. I came back to this video because I just got my first miata!

[@AdamCMoreno]

Dude you’re editing is so on point !! Such progress you’ve made !

[@_ZAYA]

When you do the ls swap you should get a new front bumper so I looks good

[@AaronsEnduro]

Miata's always the answer! Sick drift car! TURBO GANG GANG

[@NovemberFoxtrotRC]

That guy actually waved back at you lol. You were just past him a bit. He's old... Slow reflexes.

[@MichaelBacon212]

Great video. Great points and I can't wait for the new build series with the LS.

[@churoman14]

Liking based on the quality of the video. Fantastic video

[@KDPFilms]

Oh my, Taylor I asked you to this video a few days ago and you did it 😱🙏

[@swed_sled]

MIATA IS ALWAYS THE ANSWER!!!!!!!! great video for a great car!! so glad i decided to go with a miata for my first drift car. 100% the most cost effective drift car.

[@dmasterson12]

best edits in the automotive youtube community. bash that limiter and blow that thing up!!!

[@OchoCinco5K]

I also love the new shots. Keep rockin Taylor

[@tmitchgoon2077]

Awesome video!! I liked the intro a lot!! And most as are dope drift cars for sure!

[@KnallenN]

''the best budget drift car'' do you even volvo mate?

[@kellenwilson6178]

was guna say lol bought my 940 turbo for 700 bucks

[@aricroy4258]

kellen wilson Yea lol

[@yeet1127]

Knallen got my manual turbo wagon for $600 lol

[@duncanmaccollom6813]

Cody Hurley volvos are literally dog shit and break all the time I had a 240 and a 740. And they broke all the time

[@iansmith4101]

240 for $400 and it came with racing seats (:

[@skeetermccleeter]

Coming back after the C6 build and remembering the start. 🙌

[@friend_built]

I love my NB Miata. I went off track bent the control arm an sway bar end link. Got everything for 120 but got a alternator for 40

[@ryanmaitland1230]

It’s neat coming back to this video now after he has maxed out the Miata all these years later.

[@leviwyatt5921]

8:46 .....he 110% did wave back at you.........

[@Chimera6297]

if u wanna talk budget, you can totally drift a stock Miata, just weld the diff if it's open and send it. you don't need much horsepower to go sideways angle kit comes later

[@tom-coppola]

Love the RAMCHARGER

[@klm2fm4]

This car has come a long way

[@Nasonix2]

I'm super happy you did this video

[@crowythebutcher6127]

Still to this day the best fun I have ever had in a car was an mx5 there absolute rockets on a good windy road

[@DeeZeeGR]

Was waiting for such a video!!!😘😘Drift it one more time and then start the swap process!!

[@jacob6088]

Wheels and tire size ?

[@anthonybernardo3445]

Taylor’s is responsible for making me want and eventually buy my Miata. Thanks dude ! Lol

[@prestcars6986]

2wd jeep xj Already have huge angle factory 190 hp 240 lbf and are about 2800 lbs And can use any wheels that a 5 lug mustang can Parts are everywhere

[@MetalTiger88]

driving a beat up car like this in germany would be impossible :D

[@andrewlukacs3393]

2 years later an you have the sickest LS Miata out there

[@danielscott8628]

Miata goals

[@bearle97]

turbo mia

[@timmah1588]

I miss my supercharged na Miata. Taught my gf how to drive stick on it. Can’t wait for the ls swap! Nice edits!!!!!

[@Don_Johnson521]

Best car ever! Had ls swapped cars went back to NA Miata still

[@goodbyemontauk]

This video and a few others refuse to populate in my subscription feed.

[@usenobrake]

Can’t believe this thing has changed so much

[@jiltedgaijin9320]

This is so right. I wish i'd kept my NB. It was the most fun car to drift in, and I never even turbo'd it. I got it as a daily and then it got built into a little drifto fun car. I regret the day I sold it. I'm now looking at drifting my 32 skyline, and I have a horrible feeling i'm not gonna find it half as much fun as the MX5 (that's right, I live in the UK, and they're an MX5 here). I've already told people that if I don't get on with the Skyline, it's gone and i'm building a boosted NB MX5.

[@daltonsmith4895]

not related to the vid but super jealous of your super clean first gen, awsome truck. I'm a ford guy and have a 1993 7.3, but those first gen dodges are killer trucks.

[@SkidsJDM]

The BMX peg that I have actually fits and screws onto my Miata perfectly.

[@2pacalivesm]

I used to swing the Miata wide on need for speed 2015 max out at 700 hp it was sick

[@Mexxx65]

A Ford Falcon - V8....cheap as dirt in AUS now. They go damn quick too!!!

[@patonb]

Oh such nastalga seeing the old red miata!

[@thewoytek]

Where i live clean and rust free NA Miatas are getting much more expensive than NB Miatas. Will building the car be more expensive or is it essentially the same parts?

[@gnarlylasagna7464]

almost everything is the same between the NB and NA as far as chassis things, but the engine stuff may be different between the VVT on the NB idk how different that would be as far as turbo kits and such, so to keep it short it really depends what youre talking about. NB chassis are technically "better" as far as VVT and more modern aero and it ensures youll have the 1.8 not a 1.6, the NA will go up in price soon just because of the age

[@brizack03]

What top are you running? My softtop (original '93) has just about given up the ghost.

[@horizonplays549]

Im saving up to buy and build a Miata. I might change what car I want to build but the Miata rn is my 1st choice

[@Bagz96]

Awesome video Taylor. All that extra work you put in to setting up the camera makes the videos really great to watch. I think you need a lav mic though. Should be easy to sync audio. Just clap at the beginning of each clip when you set it up. Other than that. WHEN CAN WE GET GOLD STICKERS OF YOUR FACE :)

[@ThomasMiata]

I drift a Miata.. but I think e36/e46 is probably the best budget drift car right now. Do love the miata though

[@Nasonix2]

What size rim do you run Taylor? On your miata???

[@joshroberts6721]

This man...has it all figured out

[@matissralfsputnins5192]

Can not wait for the ls motor in miata!Like the video.

[@MrForelone]

I live right next to the compound. Hope to see you there sometime.

[@danmanhappygood]

Killed it on this one!

[@StephenJZ]

Dope vid Taylor, see you at frakenslide

[@siddadood]

Love the new shots your incorporating, just keep an eye on your audio between shots and scenes I’m raising and lowering my volume. Try constant gain if you use adobe premiere pro

[@siddadood]

Or manual adjustments

[@joshuabaerga4370]

He mentioned in his camera check video that the multiple camera’s he uses some record in different ways and makes editing weird with the gain setting for audio. Just saying 👍

[@CJdriftZ]

Love your vids man!

[@genterasaki86]

Love this vid, thanks Taylor

[@geirkselim2697]

I drove a n/a na last weekend with a torsen and 215 re71r tires and was still getting good and sideways. Miatas like to slide

[@ItsWewn]

Are the light bars street legal though?

[@genterasaki86]

If think they are 🤔

[@static_chris4097]

I mean no, but I got em on my miata, i literally took the lightbar housings apart and took the glass out from the inside of it and put 35% window tint on it, to make it less brighter and also to match my smoked turn signal housings.

[@timtran5451]

DieselDriven anything is legal in Florida

[@ItsWewn]

Tim Tran not exactly😂

[@KgiMedia601]

DieselDriven enough

[@92aussiedude]

I can't wait for the Ls content, cars gonna be wild

[@MW2gamer237]

The mirrors are from jass performance, they are the classic style mirrors

[@christianizquierdo4989]

amazing video bro!

[@mihaiilie22]

Great vid!!

[@M.Karlsson]

Whats up 2019 up in here!

[@bannablitz247]

For anyone wondering if anybody ever watches this video 8 months later that isn't me. Taylor has a kinter MA-700 500W amp for his "radio"

[@jefflohnes2212]

When are you going to weld on a Harness bar and get a 5 point?

[@demonsamongstmen562]

Dope, I’ve been thinking about buying an ‘85 Rx7 for drifting

[@jpg4528]

Great little cars i just bought one new paint,new top,and runs great for $950 by Brooksville fl

[@Nasonix2]

And for the record, the guy DID wave back. Lol I didn't even have to watch it more than 1 take, to see lol

[@scottmason2245]

I got me a boosted 90 na. I love miatas.

[@bretthummel8525]

Put the new motor in it! I’m so excited to see the videos!

[@lynnmckenney1987]

So looking back, would you recommend a 350 or a miata as a first drift car?

[@bryanmurphy26]

Watch the fire extinguisher at 12:21

[@ChrisJackson80]

Wheels are?

[@creamcorncobb]

Video of how you did your passenger air bag cubby hole?

[@707_gato6]

Nice Ram Charger 👍🏻

[@coleyoung5106]

Great videos , I am trying to find a healthy motor or atleast bottom end for my 97, any opinion On 1.6 vs 1.8? It’s already boosted

[@owenpreece4508]

Great video nice edit

[@1996FordBronco]

Had to say I 100 percent saw your neighbor wave back in haha

[@2turnt259]

Thanks for the good advice 👍

[@MightbeAmechanic]

Specs on wheels ?? Brand size???

[@davidmcclutchkick801]

Alright, as much as I don't like em, probably mostly because I don't fit in one, they are cheap as hell to Drift. Jelly of how long new tires last on em for sure.

[@davidmcclutchkick801]

And you're editing is definitely getting really good!

[@christopherhernandez7454]

I’m a bigger guy. Horizontaly gifted. And I never thought I’d fit in a Miata just drove my buddy’s and I fit. Now I’m buying one

[@dsrgarage]

Awesome. Thanks

[@unclejacksyoutube6496]

What is the camera in this vid? And tripod setup for those dope shots in the beginning? They were so awesome

[@Taylordrifts]

+J.D.M. Performance one video back has all My camera gear info in it.

[@spannersautocomputerrepair7528]

BMW E36 platform is equal in initial cost and availability for parts/swaps as the miata.

[@ff2e]

Your miata reminds me a lot of my 944. I need to make a recent video of it.

[@boiIedmilk]

which wheels do you have? theyre sick

[@AM-021]

I would wave back to you Taylor!

[@ogloc8212]

Drift missile with a regular seatbelt Nice👌

[@Zainathan]

parts are hella cheap. theres a guy in the Phoenix area selling like 3 NA8 transmissions at $100 a piece... only car thats cheaper is Honda Civics, but you cant exactly slide those lol

[@Marco-ip5cw]

Zain they just jump like they are trying to have hydraulics while trying to slide

[@christopherhernandez7454]

Did you keep the Power steering or depower it

[@seansmile]

when you say that an s chassis drives it self do you mean self steer?

[@gnarlylasagna7464]

i think he means its just an easy car to drift

[@seansmile]

GnarlyLasagna i know but if you flick an s13 into a corner and let go of the wheel it self steers im just wondering if thats what he means

[@gnarlylasagna7464]

every car will do that when youre trying to drift. if your car is sliding a direction and you let go of the wheel, it will steer the wheels the direction youre sliding

[@seansmile]

GnarlyLasagna gotcha i wasnt sure only have drifted in my s13 pretty new to it

[@brandenrussell2647]

Well my first is going to be a infinity g35 sedan '04 vq35de swapped trans for cd09 mounts right up no bell housing mods needed need a diff think I'll look into a torsen? would like to get some bc coil overs and n/a if I do end up turbo changing it I think I will get a crank shaft with less stroke and longer piston arms

[@xdsandis]

i dont hate the miata's i agree with youre opinion but i think bmw e36 is better drift car , bit cheaper , and more power ( depends what liter motor)

[@BillyRS]

wronGGamer That's true man. Only reason I didn't get a 36 was insurance costs

[@livinlegend2135]

Ehhh I don’t think so miatas are much cheaper engines and parts all together compared to bmw parts and are much lighter and bare bones as it is but I do prefer e36 for looks I just can never find them cheap enough ☹️

[@parrm9580]

Honestly it all depends on where you live and what cars are cheap

[@justin6604]

NA vs NA I go with E36 for budget, looks, etc.

[@skateecho]

I want an e36 but they are harder to find where i am and more then miatas but if i was going to swap a motor I’d be tempted to do it in an E36

[@GTspeeds]

How did you make the key on power distributer

[@fpvunbox5148]

do u have a video on how u did ur radio?
