[@GrantCrabe]

[@AnriLover]

Something about this video reminds me of a warm fall morning. Nostalgic almost.

[@lukeriley2721]

dude it does

[@wurstbroto]

Please make more videos in this style, really enjoyed your honesty and enthusiasm. I didnt work on my racecar for at least 2 years. Now i am itching to start again and i am holding you responsible for that.

[@mastercricket7626]

Rad build miata brotha .. ps whoever told ya lightweight flywheels and miatas don't mix , lied to you .. literally every high hp or big power miata I know of runs a lightened flywheel for better and faster response and revs ... but regardless, I dig the build bro .. I daily my toy 😅 ... peace and love brotha , keep it rad , stay safe , and build on ... l8r brotha and keep having miata fun 😁 😂.. ps dope beard 🤘🏽✌🏽

[@AnnieKeller]

Great video, I saw you a tiny bit on the second day but couldn’t stay too long, it looked great out there! Looking forward to the build progress on this guy

[@PlummerAutomotive]

You and Jimmy oak make the best content. Still feels like I’m watching old youtube watching yall

[@MoistSlideZ]

Drift miata content is best content

[@DESTROYORDIE]

Hey this is cool! Nice work gettig it all done in 4 days too. As for the ride height, 40mm change on the coilover will equate to more than 40mm change at the contact patch because the arm acts like a lever. The difference increases the further out you have the wheel sitting too. So that will likely be why one side is a little lower than the other if maybe it wasn't mm perfect on both sides. Plus the arch being pulled down will make it look different too as you mentioned. Great video though!

[@Jonnio]

Oh hell yeah been waiting for a vid 🔥

[@Ashleythemiot]

bro commented then watched the video then commented again

[@jeffreymoffitt4070]

Hell yeah!!! That was dope af!!

[@Jonnio]

Pretty smooth drifts, nice

[@K11.LEG4CY]

solid video keep up the good work !

[@weekenny_sco]

Great content, too many channels show seamless installs, this though looks like what I’d go through. Spinning riv-nuts, having to trim seat rails etc. 😂

[@lukeriley2721]

make a block off plate for the door handle assembly, use 1/8in abs sheet. It will look much better.

[@nyaata41]

Also with DOD angle kit you need to run 0 offset. im runing 15x8 et 25 with +25mm spacers

[@tepidbeach4630]

Love the content man

[@NickVillecco]

Super sick video! I’ve got a clean NA with a hardtop but now I’m looking for a 2nd Miata for a drift build so I don’t ruin it hahaha

[@compound75]

Good idea! lol

[@lanspartyable]

Hey guy, nice video! I also had weird shaking with my car and it got fixed when I did a proper PPF alignment (vertical alignment). Might be worth checking out because it could be a free fix. Most people get it right by accident, but I found out the hard way.

[@lanspartyable]

Also I need to know where that one piece sticker came from 😆

[@akashsitapara6027]

Hey I'm looking to get Miata as my first car and I'm wondering what body kit is this.

[@compound75]

Front bumper and skirts are KBD, rear bumper is fiberglass PS Deuce rep

[@prodabyss]

5:50 😭😭

[@8145dwerdna]

With the happy meal clutch you adjust the car to the clutch. It's a stupid design tbh but you have to follow their instructions

[@compound75]

I did adjust it when it was installed. I don’t actually think the FM clutch has any issues though

[@Ashleythemiot]

just based off fitment issues, im hearing widebody kit

[@nyaata41]

Do you ever wanna add power? My drift miata is my daily so idk if i wanna add power or just keep it reliable. I also hated my torsen, it was fine until it wasnt lmfao. So happy to have a welded diff I always know hoe it will react.

[@compound75]

My cars got 210 horse puppies to the wheels and I feel like that’s plenty of power to party. Once it pops I’ll probably shoot for more power

[@masseman5]

Where did you source the diff and trans? I'm also in RI and i can never find used parts for my NA

[@compound75]

Hit me up on Instagram @michaelbarca I might be able to help you out. I have a Miata part addiction

[@barjonahbuxton3264]

Hey man if you figure out the problem can you make a video on it. my miata has the exact same decel issue and I can’t figure it out

[@compound75]

I already blew up the transmission... lol. I will investigate further and get back to you or make a video about it

[@barjonahbuxton3264]

@@compound75thanks for the reply man, it would be really great if you could! On a side note, keep up the hard work the videos are getting better and better every time you are going places for sure!

[@zorgain]

​@@compound75 Super commom issue, some say its PPF alignment but it hasnt helped everyones noise

[@werwefsefsefsef]

power steering cooler?

[@compound75]

I’ve read they don’t help much with Miata’s unfortunately. My buddy has had good luck using an aftermarket reservoir, so I’ll probably try that first

[@nyaata41]

​@@compound75Yup, get a chase bays reservoir and dont look back

[@louiedelatorre1667]

40k miles?!?! What a freaking waste of a perfectly nice car🤦🏻‍♂️

[@compound75]

Dang, a sports car getting driven on the track and street rather than sitting in a garage. What a waste

[@lukeriley2721]

bla bla

[@TomMusick]

Not enjoying your car is like not banging your wife to keep her tight for the next guy.

[@medusa3745]

love your Miata.. What is your Instagram's name bro.. I really like to follow for more..
