The NB Finally Gets Some Grip & Flyin' Miata Wheels!

[@blatantlyjohn6234]

The induction noise is really nice

[@BigBenlolz]

1 month without you Greg feels like a decade

[@Alex_4139]

He speak the true true.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Unpopular opinion: too soon junior is my favorite project on the channel.

[@biggboysouth]

Agreed

[@tylerreed7385]

I rly like it but that's cuz I like seeing him work with the me442

[@ghostybeef2342]

agreed

[@travdripdrip382]

Agreed as well

[@fiachragallagher]

That side shot really shows how much miata suspension cambers in under load

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Great vid! So glad you like the wheels, they look great on your NB!

[@gqswamp]

Yay!!! Greg's back... Double-Yay!!! for the NB getting some love!

[@VoxMortui]

The tan truck at 6:03 slowly creeping up even though Greg is WOT loll that is the Miata life

[@mtbiata]

Aight screw studying for my math test next period Miata Dad is back!

[@one234569and10]

Just noticed and love that Flying Miata put the ft/lbs on the side of the lugs - nice touch. Helpful for those of us too lazy to look that up.

[@beersoap8406]

I love Greg he is undeniably underrated.

[@madmiata1887]

the nb looks so much fun to rip on and bang gears. sounds good dude and the wheels are so fresh

[@GasPedalGarage]

Let’s gooo, NB content 🔥

[@GapMiata]

Lets give NBs some love!!

[@pastytgarage]

I have always loved the 6UL wheels from 949 Racing, but these are making me rethink that love. Excellent video, and beautiful NB!

[@UnsponsoredBuilds]

We need weekly car passion videos!!! This month waiting time kills me! Awesome video though been looking at these wheels

[@fatninja987]

So glad to see you back ❤️

[@ianfairbanks1318]

I could listen to that exhaust note all day.

[@vlenhoff]

I got 17x8 FM Kogekis and FM lugnuts for my NC too. Great quality and great price, and they only weight 15.6 lb.

[@PcItalian]

Miata Monday, on a Thursday?!? Heck yes! Been a long month without you senior Greg!

[@aygwm]

I love when Craig posts new videos

[@viktorandersson7819]

Oooooh! Finally! I love the NB-series!

[@skullyairsoft80]

Just put some FM Kogeki 15x8s on my NB as well. Huge amount of extra smiles

[@ianfairbanks1318]

This video had AAAAAAALLLLLLLLL the good stuff in it. thanks greg!

[@kalebzweigle9750]

Let’s go! It’s not Monday so happy Miata Thursday boys. So excited for this content and I’m super stoked to see a Miata ingest some spicy air 😂 keep up the good work Greg!!!

[@MightbeAmechanic]

What are those tyres like In the rain?

[@shaoyang5650]

I recognize that on-ramp. It’s right before you get to the moon. Heading back to earth

[@ricks_toys]

Perfect timing, I just picked up some buddy club 15s with semi slicks to go with this week.

[@yatajoris]

Good tire choise, I am on my second set of NS2R's. most of my friends run them too and some have experimented with federal 595 and yokohama Advan semislicks, but most of them returned to Nankangs tires just because of the quality for the money. There's also a NS2 (so without the R). It's the more "dailyable" brother. Although 1 daily mine even through the winter. Love to see 2soon junior getting a makeover and excited for the Nitrous. Keep it up man :)

[@sjmatth]

Sounds like it's on throttle bodies 😎

[@therealboofighter]

Great colour combo.

[@danielplumley2649]

I’m dying over here with the lack of videos being put out on the channel. Save my sorrow Greg!

[@jensenredd4939]

Hey idk if you would care to help me out on something or if you could, but I’m looking to use a tdo4L turbo for my nb Miata and the manifolds and down pipes I’m looking at are for a tdo4. do you know what the difference is and are the input and output flanges the same on each?

[@charlesmcgehee3227]

Great highlight flashes of some of your best past work. I still run those stock rims on my 2001. They are a lot shinier though. Like the new rims you bolted up way better though.

[@mastercricket7626]

awesome look dad and 2sj is looking like you are enjoying the heck outta the stock power to much , winding them gears out lol jk na but looking good dad and cant weight for more content ... hope to see u back regular posting again ... peace n love pops stay rad and stay safe l8r

[@kyleneujahr]

that thing looks SICK with that wheel/tire setup

[@TheJohnb35711]

Perfect wheels with that color Miata

[@notabird9332]

I have the same wheels from FM! but for the NA. Its my first pair of wheels and was debating over rfps1 or Fm, really happy with Fm!

[@DustyMacsGarage]

Wheels are sick!!!! I will own a bronze set of wheels one day!

[@TSBVM]

We are matching. Red Turbo NA Miatas. And green n/a NBs

[@mostlyuselessgarage]

Whoa, can't believe your sick drifting car control! How have you not done a Miata drift build??

[@Kc07910]

Sits perfect , excellent wheel and tyre combo

[@Big_Gima]

Sounds nasty!!! I have an NB im trying to get running for the season!! Im pumped!

[@lpruler1]

Welcome back dude! Jr’s lookin good.

[@miatamike93]

Man I've been eyeballing the bronze 15x8 Kokegi's since they came out, but I didn't have a Miata yet. Now I finally have a Miata, but I'm gonna wait untill I have more money to throw around.

[@XxSavageBearxX]

I love the bronze, but it doesnt look right with a red miata. So I'm waiting to get gunmetal grey

[@miatamike93]

@@XxSavageBearxX I have a Montego Blue so I think bronze would look great. Then again I'm biased because I was looking at getting bronze wheels regardless of what color I got my Miata lol. Except yellow, bronze wheels look weird on yellow.

[@XxSavageBearxX]

awesome video and channel!

[@dirtperson4221slash2]

Awesome video. I think several of us want to see a camera get tagged in an action shot. It's bad ass to see another build from stock to remind us that it can be done.

[@estewar03]

Been too long w/o an upload Greg, can't wait for some new spirited canyon driving uploads.

[@HARaZAC]

I'm putting this engine in my NA so hyped for more videos on this!

[@nucleart0aster]

Welcome back; been checking the channel everyday for a upload 🤣🤣🤣 I recently acquired a jdm NB, and have been following the channel closely for tips on making most power out of it. Currently looking into the me442 vs haltech elite 1000. Would you mind sharing an overview of the features of the mr442, and possibly dive into the accelerometer and gyroscope, as those do not exist on the haltech. Thanks in advance

[@flipflop7577]

Gregs sideproject tsj has more power and better upgrades than my main project NA😅. And a great color combo🤙

[@DonteWilsonChrisDorner]

So I have Advanti Storms, 15x8 35mm offset and the widest I can fit on my car without rolled fenders is 205. I have 205/50/15 Potenza RE71s and they are really close to touching. Your car doesn't seem very low. My ride height is about 12.5in in the rear and about 12in in the front. I don't think there's anyway I'm squeezing 225s on there without rolling the fenders.

[@heavychevy4616]

those wheels are awesome! ...gotta love "flyin miata"

[@paulkimble4548]

Looking forward to seeing you pop the tops off some pistons in this thing!

[@Vaft91]

900 years... finally a video...

[@FishboiFK8]

Damn... Those on ramps are mighty familiar haha

[@raymonddonovan3297]

What about the bolt on only dino day? Last I remember it was cut short by low compression. Was the case ever closed?

I just got my kogeki 15x 8 with azenis rt660 225 45 zr15 got to wait for it to warm up before I can put them on though. there in bronze

love u miata dad

[@leobezryadin3896]

Seeing Creig enjoy his Miata while mine is on the stands :(

[@fyaglidere]

It looks like you installed the tread facing the wrong way?

[@38tech]

My eyes are set on these or the konig freeforms in bronze. My nb2 is also emerald mica. Looks soooooo good.

[@z_855turboR]

Wheel size, that is..😂 Always good vibes here Good color combo

[@MrSprintcat]

So if I heard you correctly you did no modifications at all to the fender lips? And thank you for the video

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Fenders are untouched

[@MrSprintcat]

@@TheCarPassionChannel awesome

[@bellathe5.031]

Wait wait wait. What is that? That digital gauge in the cluster where oil pressure usually is. I need it, please more info on that?

[@PropKnucklesFPV]

I may have missed a video, is that the stock exhaust and intake? Sounds awesome

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

In this video it has stock exhaust, intake is a DIY 2.5" with K&N filter, squaretop intake manifold, exhintake cam; and also there's a mic in the engine bay. But, even inside the car you hear a ton of induction noise and it's excellent.

[@thisreallysucksbig]

Must gave missed the excam switch dyno episode, how much power did it make?

[@imboredadr]

I still want to get some retrofit headlights on that NB so bad

[@DanielGarcia-vb2jv]

Is it stock exhaust?? Bc I have the exact same nb except yours sounds way better

[@one234569and10]

TheCarPassionChannel - how do you tell if a when is backwards or not since these do not easily show any marks. PS: looks like a small amount of fender roll might be useful for safety sake. Hit a hole and it might slice into it...

[@JC-vc7tf]

Nice!

[@ema1671]

Miata dad went to get cigarettes and came back with wheels and ties.

[@PRXFpv]

I have a 1991 miata a little under 200k miles and has developed a pretty severe rod knock. My dad is a master mechanic so we will be doing all the work (other then machining the block) at home. Our biggest issue right now is that no one has inventory for a stock rebuild for the 1.6. Since this is my first rebuild my dad wants us to keep the original 1.6 in the miata instead of swapping to a 1.8 or getting a working 1.6. Is there anywhere or websites you know of that would have stock rebuild supplies or will we have to shell out more for custom bottom end internals?

[@repbegger5558]

Just got new rims for my miata and thinking of a tire choise in 195/50r15 (can't change stock dimension here) Heard nankang are really sketchy in rain for dailying, are Yokohama ad08r any a good choise for a miata ?

[@nehok]

Nb fitment question for dad et all - my dual duty nb has 15x8 et 20 all round. Currently 195/50 ps3s, but i want to move to an actual track tire this year. The particular tire I want to run comes in 195/50 or 225\45. My challenge is, I'm more than happy to roll the shit out of my front fenders but I can't roll the rear, because my rear arches/fenders have been replaced and welded. The body shop told me not to roll them as they will crack if I do. To compromise though they cut the inside lip of the rear arch down to half its original size though so I do have a bit more space than stock. I think 205s will fit fine but not sure about 225s.. Ideally I'd borrow a set and find out.

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Best way to get an idea of what you can fit on there, is to put the car on stands, remove the rear coilover and disconnect the sway bar, put the wheel back on, and jack up the suspension arm to simulate wheel travel. Then you can measure the tightest areas to see if you have ~15mm to spare (225-195=30, 15 inside and 15 outside). Keep in mind that some tires run wider and have thicker sidewalls.

[@nehok]

@@TheCarPassionChannel Hmmm Ok good thinking! I've got to rebush my suspension atm so will do so then. I don't have much rear camber atm too so i've still got that up my sleave too. Thanks Greg!

[@fatninja987]

I’m here dad

[@friendlyreptile9931]

I'm about to slap Hyper Silver JR12 9x16 ET20 with 215/40R16 tires onto "Miazda". It's a silver 99 1.8 NB and i think i will go with 2° negativ in the front and like 1.5° negative in the back. For the lowering: if you look straight onto the wheels, there should ne a 1/5 inch (5mm) space between the upper end of the tire and the body of the car. Should work if i just roll the fenders or do you think i also need to pull them?

[@cjcfootage2269]

I have a 2005 MSM and wanted to put the same wheels on, do I still need smaller coils or can I run them stock?

[@randomtoyotadude8952]

Kinda liked the green color on that car.. btw, ur wheels looked perfect(preferance)... really liked them.. good size tire for 9.0”

[@CK-ur3ef]

You have a lot of experience. I'm looking at getting 15x9.5 +29 for my NB and running Ventus RS4's in 245/40. Will I need more than coilovers and a fender roll? What about 225/40's? Thank you!

if i have 16x9 wheels what size tire would i need to get to have a similar setup? great video

[@chrisbosse1522]

Can't wait to see the nitrous vids! Why does this car sound so good?

[@TheCarPassionChannel]

Engine bay mic, squaretop, DIY tubular intake, exhintake cam. It's pretty amplified in the video, but even in person you get a bunch of induction noise in the cabin with the open intake

[@jmpcrx]

Looking gooooood 👀😎😎

Hi I don’t know by chance If you might respond to this message but I’m trying to build a Miata a 1.6 trying to do what you did but I really don’t know where to go or how to move forward I just got done messing with it today and I got 90 pounds of compression on celinder 4 so I gotta go through and build it all by my self pretty much if you could share and knowledge you have I would greatly appreciate it
