I was always confused by the term 'influencer', then two things happened this week. 1.While watching a youtube uk dashcam compilation, someone listening to the AutoAlex podcast in the car in the clip. and 2. While in a well known supermarket in the late evening, overheard a group of late-teenage lads saying "Egg" repeatedly to each other.
I just can't get enough Taylor, he's just right for the channel! I love how he got a hold of the v2 video by video, you two meeting together was one of the best things that happened to TH-cam in a long time.
I bought my NC2 at 18 a couple of months ago and I'm absolutely loving it. It's already on some high quality coilovers and next up is some nice wheels and an exhaust
@thebritishbiker8197 I'm using the car as my daily right now and I don't have much budget so an exhaust would be a far better choice over arbs in my situation at least. With just the coilovers it already corners super flat
The stock NC2 Alloys are actually very light. its worth checking the weight of aftermarket alloys vs stock, you'll be surprised. - ARB's go for RX8 Yellow dots, direct replacement, cheap and really good.
Alex! you should definitely be thankful that Taylor came along with his mechanical skills and also his mechanical commentation we all realize sometimes he's not always doing the job, but he is stating an opinion, towards the better way to do the mechanical bits… good fun, even though this is the second channel Hope to see more shenanigans on the main stream
Love the MX5 and especially the NC content. You should check the bushing of the control arms and make sure they are not twisted. I was instantly thinking of that when Taylor mentioned that the front is way higher compared to the rear. Anyway, enjoy the NC - greetings from a fellow superchargered NC3 owner 😊
Yes. Yes. YES! Absolutely love the goofing around while working on cars videos. Especially when it features someone who doesn’t know too much about the car they’re working on, and learning as they go 👍
watched you guys, along with the TDC boys since you rebranded, and all of your guys' enthusiam and passion for cars has really inspired me to try and learn about doing up cars and i would love to be able to do a project car one day. I am not very mechanically minded when it comes to cars, always found it intimidating. I was thinking of having a mini cooper s r53 as my first project car.
Still loving all the content lads. Also, have decided it’s time to get back into an MX5, which will be my fourth. I think it says a lot when I’ve owned everything from Lotus/Porsche to AMG/Giulia Quadrifoglio, and currently even have a TVR in the garage, but you genuinely can’t beat a modded MX5 for a bit of fast road fun without losing your license.
Just bought a 2001 LS in emerald green, tan interior. 120k miles in GREAT shape for 5500usd. Love this car so far, got lots of preventive maintenance to do to it - full timing job, etc. wheels/tires are on the way along with coilovers, can’t wait to get it how I want it 👍🏻
Love the MX-5 content, I want to get one next year as a daily just because of your videos. It seems really fun to drive while being affordable and good looking.
Used LK back in 2014 when I needed wheels - they didn't disappoint with the JDM choice. Great support when they sent the wrong spigot rings and wheel nuts
I bought an NC just before lockdown for a couple of grand and it was fantastic. Fitted a Cobra backbox for a little extra noise. Id love to drive a sorted one with upgraded suspension and brakes. Due to rust i didn't bother incase it turned into a big job.
have one of these. I recommend an NC2/3 as you always hear of the older cars blowing up (the later cars have forged internals and a higher redline). a catless manifold unlocks another 20hp with a remap btw.
Love the Mx5. I have a 1990 V-Spec Mk1 and need to change the exhaust. Scorpion dont make for the Mk1. What exhaust would you say is the best for a reasonable price?
@@EddyWillyJimmy My thought exactly, I was hoping to see something a bit more left field with this car but it's just another exhaust + wheels with shit tier rubber segment.
A great tip for oil servicing on the NC is holding the accelerator down when turning the car on. This cuts the fuel pump and allows you to turn the system over without starting priming the oil filter etc before turning it on properly.
ive recently had the chance to drive one of those generations of mx5 at a auction and the car was nasty not that it wasnt a bad car it had mold on every surface on the interior and was damp but other than that and the handbrake being in a weird spot the mx5 gen3 is a pleasant car to drive
I have two NC's, one a soft top BBR Super 200 with BBR suspension and the other a electric hard top Sport Tech 2.0. One's a little hooligan, the other's a polite teenager.
I just got my first car, a 2010 NC2 2.0l and am absolutely loving it so far. They seem to be considered the worst of the mx-5s in many online spaces but i dont understand any of the general dislike for them

Get some arbs before an exhaust
If you want nice new ones whiteline is the way to go
But o believe the rx8 ones fit and can be had for cheay

Everyone is shitting on Alex and loving Taylor. I personally love them both and especially when they’re together. Top notch duo 🙏

Get yourselves some impact sockets. Aside from the safety part weighted ones make the impact more efficient
Got the same 2.0 in my 6 and it sounds great with a Kakimoto exhaust. Great fun engines.
I just got a scorpion cat back for my e46. It's definately a bit louder and nicer sound but not crazy. Can recommend them
Love the video as always guys. How is Alex? Haven’t seen him as a main feature for a few weeks!
Great video! Is Alex ok? He looks exhausted... Stay healthy guys and have a nice christmas time :)

It was nice to see a back to basics sort of video.
I have a 2.5 swapped nc1 with cams and a full headerback exhaust. Such a wonderful car!!
11:46 When Alex said the car was tighter Taylor had do stop himself from laughing😂
Love the Mx5. I have a 1990 V-Spec Mk1 and need to change the exhaust. Scorpion dont make for the Mk1. What exhaust would you say is the best for a reasonable price?

Great video as always
Better than the main channel
Yea, but the main channel is also one of the best out there 👍
Yawnnnn
Anything without Rory is great tbf

@@John.Winchester Omg I know right. Dude needs to stay behind a camera.
Quote of the year from Alex, "it's tighter, it's fresher". Sounds good to me.
Alex is a gooner, love to see it
What wheel fitment have you went for? Width and offset?
Nicely Done Gents.
Is the best thing Alex ever done a) start Autoalex or b) find Taylor or are they both as important, and a kind of a chicken and the egg thing????????
you heard of Hornet Exhausts?, bought a cat back for my astra and it sounds mint only for 160 quid too
Whimsical yet tasteful, reasonable, responsible, reliable, and economical.

12:20 mmm yes good points, well made. Now record yourself changing the headlights in your NC without taking the wheels off. I’ll wait 😂
I have nightmares
I was just waiting for him to put his head in the oil flow when he put the bowl down!😂
Before I even watch it. Had to say I got one a couple months ago for the yolos. Love it

i actually love the NC MX5 generation too :)
Benji is just a chill guy
Umm, where is the cat on the new 'zorst please? Genuinely curious.
MSW alloys, same on my meg RS. Decent wheels for the price
What are the wheels they've put on it?
This screams start of the channel car
I saw your website up in Barnsley
Now turbo charge it, give it a stage 1 tune and an intake. Maybe a new intercooler and some big brakes.
clean that steering wheel!
Alex hit the jackpot when he found Taylor.
As a mk3 owner, I wouldnt increase the wheel side may upset tramlining and ride
Wheres your bin ? i need your old wheels please
Skid wheels 👀
I think the NC has aged really well - I didn't like the look when they came out but it looks really nice now!
🏍️ All that work and all I took from it was Alex's glasses 😂😂😂
Love the subtle MCM reference. Those that know, know. 😂
Laughing about that Up! that was right behind you at the end there 😂
Isnt a heavier wheel worse?
yeah, it was definitely funny and slightly confusing. If you're drunk… Two notice behind the glasses was Alex instead of Benji
Good job guys
The NC is a brilliant little car, I will have one, one day
De-cat exhaust manifold is a great (difficult) mod
The podcast is all i realy look forward to now, vids are always so short. Taylor cracks me up😂
Hahaha watched the oil drain disaster multiple times 😂😂😂
In my country you can buy a rusted NB 1.6 for 2k pounds. Worst NC-s starting at 6K
"in the bin" quote does not come from MCM (Mighty Car Mods)? 😊😅
I wish we had cheap miatas in Croatia... whatever mark you check here, it costs at least 5000 euros.

That licence plate reads "of light" (de luz) in Portuguese
its like the old CT vids with jack learning how to do car tasks
Ethan, you mean?
Those wheels look good and similar to ones on a Mazda you can get from factory but these are better
I desperately wanted an Nc as my first sports car, absolutely gutted when my head stuck out the roof 😢
I think benji needs to install some ITBs next.
Maybe some ITBs as well!
@@michaelsummerell8618 I was thinking them aswell. I was also eating dinner at the time 😅😅
Fantastic, Taylor is the bollocks😂
Alex looking like the lovechild of John Lennon 😂
Taylors mental arithmetic is second to none... 😁
What a lovely MX-5 😳
You really should put 'Miata' in the title to show up on the Yanks feeds :)
Taylors walk 2 minutes in was great hahaahaha
Love an NC Miata. I think it factory wheels looked better though.
We love Taylor! 😃👍
has anyone got one of these? and if so can you make good power? cheers
Honestly the 2.0 NC2/3 with the forged internals is no slouch.
But with these you can:
Supercharger
Turbo
ITB’s
2.5 swap
2.3 swap it
There’s loads!
Why did you net teach him to pre fill the filter with clean oil
please Rory make "in the bin" a sound on the soundboard for podcast hahaha hes hilarious
"Borrowed " from Mighty Car Mods
Taylor is the beast :D
I'd sort that rust before spending any more on shiny bits
Ooooh these wheels are heavy, ohhhh this exhaust is heavy. So ,,,what have you really done apart from making the light weight car heavier 😮❤
i dont care if its "another miata" id legit watch taylor do a teardown on a matchbox car without a single complaint
Icl the Scorpion exhaust aren’t the best. So many better options. But I know it’s a brand deal.😮
£5000 gets you a very nice early 986. And ones built before March 2001 will be lower to tax going forward. The music is likely to stop soon.
that walk at 2:03 🤣
damn those UK prices are crazy, in Poland for 5k pounds you can get just car with no mods 😅
Yes, here we go!
