I'm probably the reason for that manifold crack. I wanted to leave you with a souvenir.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Looooved driving this thing ❤️

[@aceofspades6667]

You guys need a Miata for the channel as we all now Miata's are the best. This has to be a better track car than the Civic and Stang!

[@KeeTeh3]

They had to make a business decision, their new equipment probably wasn't cheap by any means. Decals came off because it is way more likely that they would be able to sell it locally. They're doing another miata challenge and it makes sense to start on a fresh platform, so im happy with what theyre doing

[@WelshyAutomotive]

I agree

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

You jinxed it Dave 😅

[@speedacademydave]

I blame you, Craig! :P Too funny that I was bragging to you literally a day or two before we shot this.

No, Mr Peters, it was your input. If there's anyone jinxing Miatas, its you!

This was the car that brought me to the channel.

[@Sara_PY]

Not only did it bring me to the channel, but it was the reason I bought an NB1 Miata. I'm going to miss this little guy!

[@SteezyL]

@@Sara_PY it’s also made me want to get one as a weekend toy/project too! I’m still gutted now

[@AngusOutram]

Pete - When you put tyre’s on the wheel try line it up with the valve stem, you’ll find you go through a few less wheel weights :)

[@tgy119]

Yep, the yellow dot on the tires from the tire makers need to line up with the valve stem.

[@DjBlanckmusic]

They actually made a video about how to mount tyres properly a while back, where they explain the yellow dot has to line up with the valve. So I do think they already know about this.

[@VinceMorin]

I would love to see more footage about the 2JZ M3, the 'STI Killer' EVO and the 'Supercar Killer' STI in action i.e. laps at the racetrack, roll races, etc. I recall 20 episodes for the build and 1-2 driving it..

[@Thecarthatiam]

She’s the reason why I started watching you guys, farewell track princess! sometimes for bigger and better things you have to move on. Bitter sweet news. I’m glad you guys gave grown so much

[@EMentz]

Im a “miata guy” and while you were adding that up, was waiting for a ridiculous ask...but honestly, 9k is a fair price, bully to you both

[@bandwagon240]

Farewell sweet prince, you shall be missed.

[@PANTYEATR1]

when welding headers, i always weld the inside and outside of the primaries. welding on both sides of anything will make that thing stronger. the welds won't break, the welded item will break somewhere else.

[@BadDFWDrivers]

I'm sure you've considered it, but I think this channel would benefit from a car being built to a series like the Targa you competed in years ago. Would be awesome if you competed in Gridlife when you're allowed to come over. Gears and Gasoline kind of did that and it feels good to watch them build a car and try to compete, you see the headaches and now they got a podium finish.

[@BryceStandley]

When welding the manifold, you should have the flange bolted down or tacked to a solid bar to stop warping

[@Alasca5205]

Someone watches gears and gasoline

[@dilsher12]

Doesn't matter if you are just fixing a little crack like that , the heat is going to be very localized .

[@Alasca5205]

dilsher12 he learned from a KZbin video what do you expect

[@machina_spirit]

So glad you guys are back!! Loving all the new content so far, excellent stuff with no extra fluff or nonsense!

[@MrAudi220]

Good luck with the sale guys, i know all those modifications add up.Nice to see the tire equipment been a mechanic from2004-2016 so i used machines like that alot, and the lazer pointer and helper arm are some nice comforts to have.Like to see a k swapped NC on this channel some day.Great job guys.👍✌️👉

[@supdus]

i wanted this car until you took the speed academy decals off

[@aceofspades6667]

Oh man If I was still living in upstate NY (Saratoga) I'd snatch this up in a heartbeat. GLWS and I loved this series! I watched and subscribed to the channel previously to the miata series but I didn't watch every episode like I do now. That was my fav content you guys created along with the driving segments.

[@Beardchanics]

Pretty kick ass tyre setup. After project comes and goes, looking forward to see the new ones :)

[@miznitic5574]

Ya, not happy about this one. Was hoping to see more content on this.

[@NoGrip]

Same

[@NoGrip]

They just never got it sorted, and took advice from everyone. Which means it was never narrowed down to something good

[@eggsaladbussin]

Im confident that the money they will gain from selling the miata will be put towards better future projects. Im looking foward to that.

[@mikeyp8020]

Super neat looking NB, really enjoyed this content. Will be missed but looking forward to see other content as well. Good luck with the sale

[@swanblake]

That has to be the greatest tire balancer and tire mounted I've ever seen. Very impressed!

[@iKRPictures]

You may have done this off camera but it's good to lube the sealing surfaces on the wheel as well, helps the tire seat properly. Good to see you guys expanding your abilities and self sufficiency!

[@maxfoerster891]

Sad to see it go, but i support you fully in whatever you have to do with your channel!

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

Love having something to watch on Sunday. That aluminum tape trick is legit, I baked my brakes to the point they were smoking pretty bad and the aluminum tape never budged.

[@N37L]

the yellow dot on the tire should line up with the valve = less balance weights used :) Someone's gonna get a well sorted bunch of fun there!

[@Tonyk24]

Glad to see ur back to uploading

[@urpapa1999]

I enjoyed every minute of this video. Nice detailing at the end lol.

Best of luck on the sale...fair price and great upgrades!

[@albertomichaus8401]

Absolutely love this channel it really just got better👌👌

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Back purge for anti sugaring is more important for turbo. I would more importantly clamp the manifold flange down flat to avoid the cheap metal from curling. Otherwise good job.

[@1one3_Racing]

You don't need to backpurge headers. Its a good idea on turbo manifolds as the crystals can go through your impeller if your don't, but lots of engine builders don't bother. When repairing cracks its a good idea to preheat the metal the metal though to make it malleable and enhance penetration otherwise it can crack again on the same line.

[@RalphiNYCb3]

This little thing looks like so much fun to scoot around in! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@371motorsport2]

Our budget Miata track build is sitting on the lift with the front frame rails being replaced... we're $10k in on purchase price and maintenance parts only for the NB2 (with a few performance parts sprinkled in). With the electronics, FA 510s and Recaros this thing is a steal at $12k CAD.

[@andrewk332]

I see many aftermarket exhaust systems crack because they don’t have a flex section.

[@pete9110]

In house tire management!...love it!

[@ianmccormick247]

I would love to see the speed academy stickers stay on. Those were sweet!!!!

[@willmoua1]

The decals! They made the car unique.

[@TheAlfador]

Keep up the good work fellas, views will soon follow

[@aroundomaha]

Under different circumstances, I'd buy this for my weekend and autocross. Nice work!

[@evo80hd]

Pro tip for removing and installing tires, you’ll notice the barrel of the rim had a recess, try and put the bead on the opposite side your prying on to give you a little more room. For example, when you’re removing the tire and your trying to pry the bead up and over the anvil on the tire machine, push down on the opposite side of the tire so it goes into the recess in the rim.

[@budddyrda]

Nice tire changing setup. It doesn't look like you used the balance marks on the tire though. Glad to see you guys are back at it.

[@jpwilliams5264]

Good flow on the video!

[@HRM.H]

We build kitcars with the miata platform :) tiny , lightweight cup ready

[@macanoon]

Bro’s! You should’ve left the speed academy vinyl on, I would’ve wanted it if I was buying it

[@NWGaryP]

Really enjoyed the MX5 build which inspired me to do one too :)

[@chadlegault9993]

A rubber pinstripe remover wheel will remove the old adhesive stuck to the inside of the rim. It will also clean the rim well enough to have the sticky weights to stuck properly.

[@apollorhythm]

*sees miata is for sale* *looks at bank account* *cries*

[@ChoPi-Eww]

That's a really good asking price. Now, it's hard to find nice ones that are well prepped and sorted. I sold my NA too soon!

Yellow dot on the tire should line up with the rubber valve stem and I believe(!) the red dot is for TPMS sensors.

[@sakisgeo3253]

Well what i can tell you is that the casual viewer mostly apeal on budget builds ,build offs unusual and special car revies engine builds and showing some events like track days drift days and competitions

[@gaivoron]

Sad to see it go, but excited about a chance to have an opportunity to buy it. How much are you guys looking to get out of it?

[@accrevoke]

For some reasons, i think you can sell the parts individually and get more from the car. I don't know, maybe I'm insane.

[@OwenBuckingham11]

This is true for almost every project car, what it boils down to though is time and effort. Most people would rather just get rid of the whole car all at once.

[@mmavcanuck]

Probably right. The market for miatas is insane.

[@brucewaynenotbatman]

Not worth the extra work of replacing with oem and also finding and paying for those oem parts.

[@alexisknows6513]

They will be lucky to get $9000 Canadian for 99 NB , if it was 2003 NB (Mazda fixed weak chassis panels) maybe $10,500 Canadian. If they still have OEM parts ... change it back to a street car . $3500 an sell the parts too bad they didn't replace rear main seal on there clutch job ....very common on Miata with that many miles.
