Great presentation as always!
oil temp gauge should be mandatory on all tracked miatas. Even naturally aspirated ones.
Having oil squirters a lot of the heat goes in the oil, it's not uncommon for tracked stock miatas to see over 150°c/300°f without an oil cooler.
I once had the oil so hot that while the revs were going up 3-4-5k rpm the oil pressure gauge ('90 NA) would go down to 1 bar-15psi on the straights.
I can second this seeing 280-290 F oil temp on a stock vvt engine at gingerman raceway even with a reroute and larger rad.
I used the Banks dual gauge pod on suction cup to the windshield. On my ND, didn't find a better solution currently. The Banks idash gauges weigh nothing so it works well. I added oil temp and oil pressure. Did this this spring, works great. I also use them as like a 2 stage shift light set up too.
Is there a cluster available that goes on top of the steering column? As in, it sits in front of the bottom of the tach, odo and speedo? I've got an NB in mind.
Analogue race dash when? Looks fantastic! Will it talk to external sensors for oil temp, pressure etc?
You answered my last question at the end.. what's the dash going to cost?
I missed it what's the cost
@@jacobchen2151 sorry, badly phrased. He confirmed it will accept signals from analogue gauges. I added the question "what's the cost?" later
@@dielaughing73ah gotcha, I rewatched the video multiple times and control-f'ed the transcript for cost price dollar buck and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find it lol
Can't wait for the racedash !
Usually I get a notification for other shows- But not Flying Miata ?? Weird
what are that wing on the NB? it looks almost fantastic (just a bit high). but I like the shape. almost like a rev 3 FD wing but bigger.
That's a 9 Lives Racing Street Wing :)

Wil be the race dash be out befor crismas? (the LED on the right on the tabel)
I was looking for an a piller duel pod for ND2 and i dont see it on the site. Is this something that is going to come out soon?
I have a 2004 msm with a stock ECU with begi reflash……I want more accurate water and oil temp…..my innovate scg-1 handles boost and afr…..will this work for me?
Any opinions on OBD2 gauges ? Is it worth trying to get one ? Or are they inaccurate?
Limited what you can learn from OBD on my NC. Water temp is about it but even that is supposedly not a direct, accurate measurement. You can track whatever OBD sends via your phone or head unit anyway
I have Banks iDash (one) gauges as near as I can tell they seem accurate - they are definitely consitant and the readings make sense. The iDash gauges are obd and with an optional bus are analog too. Be prepared its a great set up but it ain't cheap. Also the one gauge is only going to report what the obd reports - I imagine the gauge is not the question. More like how good are the sensors in your car?
I would really like a light that flashes if the engine knocks. My car is loud and the top is usually down, so I might miss knocking. A stand alone knock detector would be peace of mind. I imagine it would have to have some adjustment mechanism.
One gauge The mother of ALL gauges = Bank‘s I dash
Agreed! We're big fans, but they unfortunately don't work in earlier Miatas.
reupload? from a few days ago
We always post a cleaner 4K version for those that miss the live broadcast. We've been doing this for years ;)
