The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road TH-cam Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, you'll see! Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!

1. You drive stick really well
2. Your Miata is super clean, from a condition standpoint to a literal cleanliness standpoint. That black paint is so fresh!
3. You make me want to buy a Miata. Good job.
Umm, no. Why does he downshift instead of just using the brakes? Only stupid people do that. It just creates wear on engine and transmission when changing brakes is cheaper than repairing engine and transmission.
@@0faewfewa okay
0faewfewa Downshifting the way he does is better for the clutch, it’s called rev-matching. Also, when the engine is warmed up this doesn’t hurt the engine or transmission at all. Perhaps you’re not into cars or something like that, it’s difficult to understand why we do these things.
0faewfewa okay
@@0faewfewa he downshifts to be able to accelerate more quickly out of corners. Try to accelerate in 4th or 5th gear and it won't pull as hard.
Oh man, I want a Miata so bad!!
I was thinking about getting in the car like that in the beginning.. and then you actually did it. This is the most interactive binaural audio video I've ever watched. Great POV! I love the exhaust note and your beautiful shifting. I hope to be as good as you one day.
Feel like this is probably one of the best sounding Miata videos on youtube.
I'm learning stick in my new 1994 miata right now and damn you drive it so well.
This car is my motivation. Just ordered 15x8 949 6ULs, next is that roll bar. Keep up the videos!
You could make a perfect sale's man by just showing all the drive videos to the customers lol. I literally want every single car that you test drove because you made it so much more fun.
I regret selling my 96 M edition. I'll definitely have to do another NA Miata build. Or maybe the ND..
update?
I love seeing former NA drivers upgrade to the ND. I'm currently at the NA phase
Wow does that Miata corner so well, that's gotta feel so fun, very nice man, very impressed!
This video also makes me realize how we take SoCal roads for granted. You have to use freeway onramps to test your car. We just go to canyons or mountains. I highly recommend getting a dished wheel or hub extender. Bringing the steering wheel closer to you transforms the feeling of the car. Well worth it. Also, with all the grip upgrades won't the increased load wear out the rubber suspension bushings more quickly? Or have you already planned to upgrade those?
turbo311 in North Carolina we have a bunch of twisty country roads. I love those roads, the freeways boring.
Idk, socal roads are in pretty bad condition
canyon roads?!?!?! uuggghhhh dont take it for granted. having boring straight roads are so boring.
Laguna Seca, baby.
We are spoiled in California
That's the perfect way to enter the car
wow ive always been turned away from buying a miata even though i love them because of the lack of power it seems to make due to the basically nonexistent curvy roads in my state and ive been told thats what miatas are really only good for but this miata you have looks like the perfect amount of power and looks like so much fun
MY DREAM CARRRRR
Just ordered xidas and 15 x 9 advanti storms. Never been so excited LOL. Good video!
it sounds good. and it looks fun. I just got my 15x9s i am waiting on my next day off to fender roll
Sounds so good what’s the exhaust setup
im gonna be honest i have no idea what any of these terms mean for car stuff but wowza this is a nice POV 10/10
dude i was never really curious about cars until i started watching your videos; you make me want a miata so bad lmao
This engine is quite beautiful as it is, don't bother changing it!
That entry bro....sounds good too
1:33 The guy stopped at the hwy entrance.. massive facepalm...
Wow that thing looks so fun to drive Jesus
Do you have any bracing or chassis stiffening done? If not, a butterfly brace will completely transform your car. I've put tens of thousands into building miatas, and the most surprising change is always a butterfly brace. Another good one is frog arms.
Awesome car, man! Cool looking roll bar too.
I like the way u touches the handel there is many more things to learn about cars and handel the car.
On and off exit ramps doin 60+ almost 70 🔥🔥🔥. Can’t wait to get wider wheels/bushings/ and better coilovers for my 91😌😌
Looks like it handles awesome! That on ramp curve solid at 60mph. Nice 6UL's! 15x9 damn that's wide but they do make a 15x10 LOL. I was on 949 Racing's pit crew for the Thunderhill 25 hour. Good times. Their driver Sonny is a cool cat. Ugh this video makes me hate myself for selling my '97.
Damnit Topher, this makes me want to buy another Mx5
Plz do not turbo that thing deserves a quality naturally aspirated linear power band
It's going to have to be an engine swap. Haven't decided between a k swap or V6 yet.
A K20 or K24 would be insane in this car :O! But so would a V6..
I'd love to wedge a Viper V10 in there too...but that'd just be too much work :D lol
Damn a v6 would be sweet but it's very nice as of now. Good video man.
J32 swap, a six speed or rx7 trans to hold the power, and a stronger diff...
That miata sounds SO good. Im getting a Nb or a bmw z4/z3
Dude go Miata
Way more reliable
Looks really nice!
Awesome awesome car brother !
damn yours sounds almost identical to my 91! I just picked up a black & tan 92 as well hehe
How does everyone find these things??? Here in Florida it’s almost impossible
@0:42 I probably would of fell face first into the drivers seat haha.
I kinda want another manual, but currently I'm driving a 2017 Chevy Cruze with the auto and it's really nice.
albert7139 Good thing Miata's are stupid cheap xD
We've bought NA's pretty much at the same time but your car is sooo nice now and mine has rusted away. Haha... ha :'-(
Also, concerning that K-swap - have you thought about a JV6 swap?
Oh no! Yeah I did one winter in it and a lot of the suspension bolts/parts rusted. Never again :/ I have thought of a JV6 swap, we'll see. Might come up with our own swap kit too. This winter will be a good time to decide and do it if budget allows!
Amazing car...love it.
Hey Chris, I know this is an old video but I still watch it all the time. I was curious if you remember the tire size? I’m guessing they were 225/45/15?
Bro i would of never sold this. I wish i had this set up on my NA
Hell no...that Miata is as sweat as it can get, so good! K swap or V6 would just ruin it...😔 Cheers from a fellow MX-5 NA owner in Portugal.
a K or V6 in a Miata could never be bad, so much power in that little car. The power to weight ratio is mad
I think we can all agree on the fact that the stock miata engines aren't that great :) An NA honda engine with around 200HP would be the most perfect thing you can do on this great platform.
Well, a Miata engine with some ITB and further enhancements would be fun...and maintain its originality.
Like this one, for instance...th-cam.com/video/vz6ikUxr98g/w-d-xo.html
210bhp from an N/A Miata...
What is happening currently with this beast of a Miata? Great video!
man.. i am about to buy a 72k mile 1994 miata in almost pristine condition (never driven in winter and by enthusiast, completely stock) and i dont know if i should modify it or leave it stock
Leave stock. The people who designed the Miata are experts and know what they’re doing. Most people who modify cars don’t know anything. James May had a good quote regarding this
Which size tire did you put on? 225 50 or 225 45?
Lol the impatient guy at 1:33
What size tires did you have? That setup just looks absolutely amazing!
Wow you gotta ditch that stock wheel. It transforms the car.
Very nice!!!!
With your wheel setup, what size tires are did you wrap your 15x9? and what are your alignments? Normally a 225/45R15 are great with proper alignment.
TheTopher PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON THE LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT 2017
at this stage do you have any power mods? by the sound you did an exhaust? but i also have a 94 and love it to death do you have any recommendations of what to do to it? i know i want an exhaust and ITB's eventually (i think my car already has an LSD) but suspension or sways from stock? and are you able to put your car in first while rolling? as I've found it locks me out of first especially when stopping at a light or going form reverse to forward. any input is appreciated
What are the offsets of the wheels and the tire specs please!
Officially the coolest way to get into a car #dukesofhazard
For the street, turbo a 1.8 block. For the track, do the K-swap.
Gears seems more spaced out between shifts compared to my 94r na
Fully tuned K24. Do it!
How do you like the pads when they are cold?
Porterfield R4s are great cold/hot/after 20 minutes of lapping. Love these pads, brake feel is a little softer than most pads, but that's the only downside I've noticed on these. I've run them on my GTI, Volvo 850R, and now on the Miata.
May I ask how tall you are? I'm saving up some Money for a NA Miata but am a little worried that I may be too tall. I am a little over 6 feet tall
I'm 5'10 and fit great with the higher leather stock seats. The cloth black seats are a bit lower too. a racing seat like this momo start will give a much better driving position. I have a friend who is 6'4 and fits in his na with the same momo!
Sounds great! A seat like that would probably be one of the first things that I would change! Thanks!
Did you notice slower acceleration after switching to 9in wide? Also, What's your exhaust setup it sounds just like my '99.
So the engine mounts fixed an issue where the engine would lean when pulling a hard corner or the car itself would lean?
Did you need to roll the fenders? And how is your audio so free of wind noise?
How is the cabin sound with the hood up? Does it leak-in much air noise?
What kind of exhaust do you have?
Is it lowered or stock?
One question, why don’t people just go from 5th or 4th to neutral and stop instead of putting stress on your engine by downshifting to second then neutral, i see everyone downshift to a low gear and then neutral but I don’t know why
Just in case you need to accelerate quickly for some emergency reason, don't wanna be caught in neutral when something goes down. Other than that no real reason personally
Why even drive a manual of ours just gonna go into neutral everytime. might as well drive an auto
@@ismaelgomez2158 cause it’s more fun and fuel efficient if you drive it right, my reason is because it’s more fun and you actually control more of the car
@@ismaelgomez2158 especially if it’s a modded car your gonna want to control your shifts fs
How do you like the Rival S?
I'm cross shopping them with Hankook RS4's and Falken RT615K+ for my FRS.
So far so good on the street. Insane amounts of grip once warmed up. I hear they are pretty sketchy in the rain, and get a little greasy after a few laps on the track, however.
Did you have to roll your fenders? I’m thinking about getting these for my 95 miata. Probably 15x8 though
I did, you may not have to as much or if any on 15x8s with 205s
Could u able to test drive a Zl1 10spd auto?
Hey how tall are you?
Not being weird i ask because the Miata's a small car and all if you fit comfortably in the car.
5'10
so you have two slow good handling cars?
How do you like the xidas? Have you tried other suspension setups? How do they compare?
They’re awesome on track, pretty good on the street too, the second gen xidas feel more refined. I’ve also had ground control coilovers on konis, great street setup, and flyin Miata vmaxx classic. The konis and flyin Miatas are both great setups for the street, maybe a little soft for the track, but it all depends on what you’re looking for.
