After Over A YEAR Of Building, The LS Miata FINALLY RIPS and it's EVERYTHING I Hoped And Dreamed!

[@AbominableJoshie]

"It may look good from the outside, but on the inside I'm barely holding it together." I know that feel, Taylor. Even my feels know that feel.

[@drock3332]

Such an underrated comment, yes.

[@bryanwelch2701]

Congratulations Taylor and just remember you built that beautiful car

[@shouldigetit]

Taylor I really like the voiceover setup that nicely walks through what's happening with the car.

[@peterholivier]

stoked to finally see this build shredding! I'm not an expert in drift cars but in my experience with motorcycle racing, the days I've spent fighting setup issues on a new build have been some of the greatest learning experiences of my life. As frustrating as it is, making changes on literally everything all day like that gives you a really great idea of what all those changes actually do and you will be grateful for that knowledge down the road. I know i am.

[@robertralph1334]

Would be awesome to see you get a final tune from Jeremy over at fasterproms. That would make for a sick colab

[@mtsproductionsful]

Robert Ralph this needs to happen

[@Muskokajames]

Would be awesome if Jeremy would put his ls miata on a track like this!

[@MattLundquistVW]

I believe Sloppy Mechanic is tuning Taylor's car.

[@N3rdburgring]

Have James from McFarland’s shop spray the nitrous on the dyno

[@h0R1Z3N]

I think everyone was waiting for this video since you began the project. Great to see you finally ripping it with some sick tandems.

[@Channel_60]

I love how everyone is complementing on his drifting and Dad is like, "Look at my temps! Check out my oil pressure!".

[@spunk97100]

We want more out of car drifting videos! Looks sick and sounds even better

[@yellowstang472]

HELL YEAH BROTHER! 🇺🇸Subscribed after seeing the 350z break with Cleetus!

[@oki8445]

YellowStang47 welcome sir

[@Not.Ferrnnzz]

@10:43 me: that's what I'm talking about!! @10:45 Taylor: "that's what I'm talking about" me: :0

[@02honeydew]

Thought he was gonna give that 370 a lil kiss

[@Scott-Tim]

This channel is something I found through Cletus and neighbor(clickbate patrol). And honestly this is great content thanks so much for doing what you do. Cletus and faster proms that whole family is my jimmy jam because of the technical content, friend, family vibe. You check all the boxes man! I’m happy to say I’m a new follower of yours.

[@docholiday5766]

I remember when you were the one giving Adam tips. He has really come a long way since he moved to Florida.

[@mslevin11]

You should get some spec miata-style front quarter window vents. The airflow might help the smoke in the cabin.

[@chrissyaerts9821]

Hearing you so excited makes my heart so happy

[@DaRedHead65]

"Damnit Mike Jones" was the quote of the weekend out there!!!

[@lb9gta307]

Is he still tippin?

[@98driftstang77]

I wanna see this thing slaying with no top on 😂

[@dadsjunk4664]

Great to see you so pumped! Knew the whole time you would get it. So much change to the car. Just needs patience and runs to get it dailed. AWSOME !!!!!!!

[@h3m1_dat_guy]

How does it feel knowing what you built? To hear the rumble and feel the rear end slide out on the pull of the hand-brake.. Watching this... i wanna say you did a helluva job.. Sick car and fresh edits.. #awesomecontent

[@FeelTheDern]

Super happy for you man! I followed the entire build and know how much you wanted it and how hard you worked to build your Miata. I’m glad you built it 100% the way you wanted it- makes it that much sweeter now. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride

[@kevincerny2648]

I can't like this enough. Been building my LS s13 for about a year and a half rn and I can't wait to get behind the wheel again and get to be as excited as you are in these videos. Always love the content Taylor. Freakin kill it dude 🤘

[@Jamesfurtado128]

An excited Taylor is so much better at making exciting videos than a bummed out Taylor. Keep pushing Taylor i love your videos no matter what tho.

[@brookschurch]

Dude!!!! Sooo pumped on how excited you are. Car looks, sounds, and now drives epic! Really making me want to build another Miata again. Really can’t wait to see this thing RIP in person some day!

[@robsfooty]

Congrats man. We are all so pumped for you. Hard work pays off!

[@ddkgarage4567]

Incoming Bald eagles sorry bout the car Taylor 🦅🦅🦅🦅

[@naiahhaian]

I've never heard of having too much caster.. I've always been under the impression more is better 😁

[@mattgood5254]

Congrats Taylor. It's amazing to see how far this car has come and just watching you shred. Keep it up bud

[@SDSBBQs]

*Proud of you Dude... Way to stick with it and figure it out!*

[@martyg9110]

So happy for you Taylor. Good to see you smiling. She’s a beast

[@jairosendsit8667]

I run like 7.5 cast on my car self steers amazing

[@DaMePaz]

9:00 min the red Miata high tailed it outta there real quick kudos to everyone on track

[@KSIXRIDER]

Props Chief! Dry sump for the win!

[@walshie3567]

Loving every aspect of the videos. Glad the hard work is paying off! Only comment I have is the miata needs a big ass wing

[@kaleblodzinski6304]

I love your editing, your content and channel deserves way more subscribers than what you have. The amount of effort you put into this really shows. So a big thank you from me for making a relaxing channel with amazing content so I can relax after a long day.

[@diarmuiddallat1222]

Cleetus sent us!! Full pull baby!!!!

[@CMgraffix]

Congratulations Taylor

[@BeastZ06]

Always trust your gut. Only one time in 15,000 miles of road racing as a driver or crew chief has the issue been, “that’s just the new setup and how the car handles”! That one time cost me 8 min though checking the car. Gained a little back in confidence during the race.

[@BlaserBuilds]

Good stuff man!!! Glad to see this thing ripping again. Did Matt go over the logs yet?

[@cheesepizza87]

Couldn’t be happier for you, it’s been awesome to see where you’ve got it over the last year, and thank you for sharing your excitement it almost seems it needing tuning all by yourself has made it even more rewarding 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@bossman2692]

It's always the small things that get us. All along it was one of the things you never thought about being which was the caster. Glad you got it figured out man.

[@MLR_Leigh]

Congrats mate! awesome to see the high's and the low's, honestly.

[@1clnsdime1]

As u found out the hard way caster mens the world to the steering. Might try just a bit more. And year i also agree on the spring looks to squat a lot!!

[@jaluna06]

Awesome driving. Car looks great. Cant wait to see some more driving. I cant believe how quiet it was. LOL. You should take out that resonator and let it scream. Keep up the awesome vids.

[@stashtrey1]

Congrats. Car is sick. Nice work putting it all together. Enjoying the content and positive vibe.

[@TwistedMetalsOfTexas]

Man Taylor that is a sick miata nicely done! sticking the tandem was awesome to watch

[@noahkossanyi6780]

from what ive heard and seen ik a lot of fd guys will run around 9deg of positive caster you could try that

[@randybryant9936]

I love when you get excited i can feel your excitement

[@AfroMyrdal]

3:58 so the student has become the master, full sircle 🌕

[@dreamsun69]

THAT TANDEM MADE ME SMILE SO MUCH really well done!!!

[@MrNicoe36cabrio]

Congrats Taylor. Great built! I wish you a lot of great drift events. Mission accomplished! Well done!

[@josephpiper4167]

so pumped to see you thrash on it bro!!!

[@constantinee4631]

Hell yeah man 💪 super stoked for you brother! I did my first drive to work today in my 96 mustang GT I just did a motor swap in by myself for the first time..I can feel your pure joy man

[@Eggx86]

Super glad you were able to get your car figured out!

[@aerofoxoosvn]

You should give mic'n the car up a thought; I think it might add more immersion. Really diggin' the videos, one of the most focused vlogs. Don't give up on the car; the platform really needs to be developed, and your at the forefront! Killin' it my G(ui)

[@richardhalley6895]

Congratulations Taylor your car rocks 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@peterbell1924]

So happy that its dialled for you now and you can enjoy it now

[@Serxne_]

I'm proud of you, Taylor. You did very well. Keep up the hard work.

[@wesleymalmberg9937]

Happy for you brotha! This makes me want to start from the ground up with my 14.5

[@jrmayun]

Yep. Like everyone has called; it's caster. Excited for when even more is added and for whatever else is gonna happen. Thing is fast.

[@jamietoolin8352]

Soooooo fast! I can’t wait for Miata/Silvia tandems!!!!!

[@danielbrown7077]

nice, glad you got it sorted....i had the same problem in mine. i know the frustration

[@brandoninks264]

Good job!

[@dragbikedemon]

Awesomeness at its finest!

[@Hacob_R]

8:48 to 8:56 he’s talking about my personal life🙃

[@Marks-Garage]

Happy for you Taylor, been watching through out the build and you deserve this.

[@robertreese8044]

19:45... MONEY SHOT!

[@TheRolines]

Your content should have 1mil. Subs ... The stuff you put out there ... I wish belgium had more of a drift mind . But people only track there cars here (so got a build r53 supercharger mini with a 19%puley ,coldairintake, straightpiped,.... ) Ill just keep vr drifting i guess

[@DriftaholiC]

More KPI or lower offset up front can help get you some more self centering as well.

[@Sauerbrew777]

Yes! been waiting all day to see the Miata shred! edit: LSA supercharger stat! Also, a straight pipe for drift days!

[@marquez-theking]

Taylor is on the rise🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@headlesnorseman701]

My Miata handles that way too... i think it’s just the short wheel base and funky rear geometry

[@remdemtion6644]

That angle you got on the oval with Adam 1st time was so beautiful tho 😮

[@Likethetacosauce]

Super stoked on your success! Time to phone Tommy and shut him up for good 😂!!!

[@duanebailey6253]

Prob not even worth it to give him the time of day. Just let him disappear from being the part out king.

[@stoggies3546]

The weather looks good 😁

[@joe3114]

So happy to finally see the Miata drifting. Little baby jdm corvette.

[@fmmrz5]

What Ackerman do you have on the Miata?

[@mihailpetrovici5044]

Mad SKILLS ALERT

[@iam5hadow444]

Hell yea brother cleetus sent me glad you got the miata sorta dialed in good shit

[@michaelfranco8208]

I am pretty sure you thought about this already with your self steer issue, but have you thought about adjusting the ackerman on the car, that's if it can be adjusted with your angle kit?

[@zirbearz5114]

Just remember, a little over a year ago you were ripping this thing with red paint and like its 4th engine rebuild at the compound. Time shows the work and quality.

[@BaggedMx5]

I'm so happy for u man!

[@GGsCarlitos]

Need more outside clips, Fuckin Car looks amazing in drift. Congrats on finally being able to drive your car!

[@Nordspets]

Have you seen the fan Matt mounted in his Z to drag the smoke out? If it works you should to something similar, cause that ls is tearing those tires up, lol!

[@patrykkowalski6]

hope you will share what are the final numbers (and what did you have before) for caster since im dealing with somewhat similar problem (i had bad rack but after it got rebuild its alot better but still not perfect)

[@zebharrington6065]

I’m dreading the day we get an episode titled “LS Miata FIRST CRASH!!” This car is just gorgeous

[@seanforehand755]

I think thats coming tomorrow, cleetus wrecked his car this morning

[@Syrian.Fathead]

Hell yeah a Taylor video drops

[@TCProject253]

Dude!! youre awesome! very well done! im inspired!! keep on it man

[@scottmoore6131]

Lol bro! Told ya! Loved your reaction! And you could put in some more caster like you said also check to see if you need to clearance the header it still may be rubbing!

[@Victor2924]

Sick get it

[@anotherbmwguy]

Congrats!! The Miata is dope. Just wondering- the ramps you have for your trailer- the kind with the angle iron cross beams- how do you find those? Do those work fine?

[@4.0_Ed]

Glad to see it all worked out for you man! Also when’s the next GC8 video can’t wait to see the build on that continue

[@fabianvazquez1013]

Your one smart dude good job man🤘🏽

[@KenMrKLC]

The degree of caster you need is going to depend on wheelbase and weight ... will vary with every vehicle

[@Zeke3V]

Put a frame mount spoiler on it!!

[@clubtouge1052]

Hey Taylor, you should get the car aligned at a good shop with someone who can take their time and do it with you in the car. You will be surprised how sensitive these cars are to tiny adjustments

[@krichd1]

Dialed in!

[@parsleyslet]

I have been waiting for this video.

[@dustino773]

The drift king said always run as much caster as possible

[@catnip1171]

What dash is in the Miata?

[@VdubSPAZ]

You guys need to check out le drib as they were recording a lot of your guys's video footage on quadcopters or drones .... He's a professional pilot for rotor riot

[@mattna09]

AWSOME TO FINALLY SEE THE MIATA RIPPING. LOOKS SO DIALED
