What it comes down to is that this challenge is only tangentially related to the initial comment. You are dialing your car in and Tommy is trying to bring his to a level that can beat it. I don't think you need to defend or explain yourself on this anymore. People either get it or they don't at this point.

You guys could both dump another $10k into your cars and I wouldn't give a damn. This is going to be a badass "run what you brung" race between two of my favorite TH-camrs and I am stoked!
@@kxlucifer Except that's not the case at all. LS' have higher potential power yes no shit, but they're heavier which is a pretty huge thing and you REALLY can't manage that power in this chassis beyond a certain point, especially torque. If e.g. Taylor boosted his 5.3(?) his diff would be all over the floor the second he goes over 50% throttle.
HP Tuners will auto save all your data logs with version above 3.6. So if you are using 3.6 or the most current 4.0 and 4.2 software it will auto save all logs. You just have to go into your HP Tuner files, then VCM scanner and logs to find them again. No need to drive extra when you don't have too. Also I'm sure Matt has told you or you are already doing this but hopefully you have your wideband o2 sensors included in your logs. It makes it 10x faster when you can create a AFR or Lambda error against the commanded AFR to really dial in your VE table. If you don't have that setup it yet, it's super easy to do so with several write ups around the web. Toss me a PM and I can show you what to look at.

With that being said please don't wager anything on this race... Tommy will bully you into admitting fault and if Tommy loses the race then he's gonna make every excuse as to why he lost and why his everything is better.
Yeah ask Deboss garage on the Audi. I think TFY put him through some hurdles on their race. As Glewbert said enjoy the times, make light of his harassment and drive your race. The Miata is Rad, Sloppy knows his shit about LS's and tunes. End of the day you still have more torque from 2.5k to 6.5k. Unless he's blocking you I don't see him staying with you through the gears. Either way man enjoy the event and good luck! 🤞🤞
Oh trust me these tommyfollowers are even dropping comments on my social media and I'm not even in the race 😂 it's like as soon as people try to colab and do something cool, the followers of the opposite person always got something to say
@@TheCarPassionChannel im stoked for the race. I wish they would have invited you, so we could see a 1.8t, a sr20, and v8, and a K-Miata. I mean, it could really help everyone figure out what what they like the most.
The worst part is, Tommy’s whole argument was Taylor had to much power, now he’s gone and built his motor to make more power? Defeating his whole argument why his car was better....
Can’t believe people want to complain about you changing literally 3 things when this dudes done dropped in a head, cams, and ITBs and went to E85 to because he knew he was power lacking lmao
Dylan So Taylor had this set up as a DRIFT car. The things he changed were SETUP related to make it more of a TRACK car. There were no power mods. And the first time Tommy even talked shit about his car he said his car AS IT WAS would destroy Taylor’s before Taylor was even finished with the car. And he didn’t even know it was an aluminum block LS, he thought it was an iron block truck motor LS. He knew nothing about the car and got scared when he found out it was a legit build. Oh not to mention with all that money he spent to try to catch up only got him to 217 hp 😂 while Taylor is sitting at 340 with probably less money spent. Hell even Rudnick’s SR Miata made 300 lol.
The ramble is strong in this video, but there is a Ray of light at the end, brought to you by corn the makers of flakes, bread, and E85 baby!!!! take a deep breath the next few days are going to be sick.. ignore the comments after reading this message and enjoy all their hard work :D
I like that its better colder for you. Her in New Zealand all we do is complain about the cool weather. Even when the weather gets warm we still complain because it pretty much guarantees rain will come
YEAH Taylor!!!!! Set the High-schoolers.... who haven't watched your videos in their entirety...straight. Inserted the clips as well. Bam! Schooled the ones who wanted to learn...blew off the ones who don't. Proud of you man!!!! Awesome pulls.... for the logs.. btw....Never noticed how dainty Bens hands were before :-D Soooooooooo looking forward to seeing the Dyno session. Super pumped!!!!!
I really don't understand why Taylor's comment section is full of people shit talking Tommy and/or his fans. I'm subbed to both channels, I read the comments a little after each video, I rarely ever see Taylor's name mentioned in Tommy's comments, I come over here and 10 of the first 15 comments (I counted) are about Tommy or his fans...I went back to fyeahs latest video just now and counted 26 comments in a row that didn't mention Taylor's name (or the challenge at all in general) before I gave up and quit searching. where is all the hate coming from? I've been confused about this for a week now.
@@gotthumbs2235 I must be blind, cause I'm not seeing them, I don't have the time to go back through 5 videos but on this one I can't find a single example.
@@jamiemosteller1679 I think your spot on... lots of "butt-hurt" comments and accusations that Taylors changing his build for the race. Most tend to be at the beginning (earliest comments)...but can't sort comments ascending.... I wouldn't waste time on it...but I think you should consider the responses that support taylor's response in today's video and the fact that he felt the need to provide specific video evidence. I don't view tommy's videos, so I'm guessing you won't see others trolling on tommys channel because I don't think many of Taylors subs watch tommys' channel..but I can only speak for myself.
Yeah but Taylor is evidently the one who threw them out the window in the first place. Tommy said he'd smoke Taylor as-is and not 'a couple of months later, brakes, different coils and E85' later. This is why he threw in cams and IIRC a different head for said cams.
Love that you’re doing this for ‘science’. But let’s be real, lap times will come down to driver skill, not who has 50 more hp. I think it would be great if you would drive each other’s cars too, and comment on the differences. That would be the only way to really see car vs. car. I’d love to hear your impressions on driving the K20 car after driving your own.
Taylor, I have been watching your channel for a long time you don’t have to defend yourself against the idiots who question what you are doing you are the best and you are right don’t worry what others are saying you’re true to what you do I hope you win so the idiots shut up thanks
TommyFYeah is a special kind of character, you do you Taylor. I've been following you since the way beginning. Ultimately, you are building your car for a purpose. Tommy is building his car to show that he has money burning a hole in his pocket. I like watching Tommy's videos, but his head is way too big for his own good.
@@obs_addicts yeah tommy built a "low power" well balanced car to track then decides to race taylor and buys a new head, itbs, cams and e85 because when he actually got some legit info on taylors car he knew he would straight up loose and tommy aint the type of guy that like loosing(have u even seen a game of skate with chris ? ) . I watch both chanels for a while and thats the straight up reality of it
Yo Taylor! Don’t let those people bother you! You’re doing good for yourself and one of the best things about your channel is that you make videos of things you ENJOY and don’t make videos that lack content/ones where you just rush a video so you have an upload. Plus by you making videos of things you enjoy, the energy of the video and overall mood is AWESOME. Keep doing you and screw what anybody thinks! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It sucks you feel you have to defend yourself. A car build is never done and it changes all the time. You want to race and do as good as possible. Plus it's a great comparison to compare how they perform. I'm excited and don't car what changes on the car. Both builds are awesome
It does suck, but I think Taylor handled it perfectly. I think it' was more about setting things straight and correcting any misinformation that's being perpetuated. Taylor inserting the video clip to shut down any of the high-schoolers who clearly haven't watched all of Taylors miata build. Sometimes you have to educate the people about what they don't know.
I’m a tommy fan but I’ve also been subscribed to you for a while. Admittedly I watch tommy everyday but ppl talking shit are simply talking shit. No need to get upset. It’s still a friendly bet, either way you both of you win. Good luck to you, you’re a great mechanic and driver.
I'm in north central Florida in Gainesville and theres two stations with E85 in the city both about 35 minutes away. :( Next closest E85 is 50 miles in Ocala
people are taking this shit too seriously lmao, i watch both taylor and all the CT bois, love everyone's content.. cant wait to see how the race goes, best of luck to both of you!
V8’s sounds a million times better than NA 4 cylinders to me in most cases, but idk kinda messes with Miata’s weight balance and total alignment and steering. Rooting for tommy but damn I love this build. 👍🦅🇺🇸
i really used to find your vidoes boring but now iam really starting to enjoy them more and more i can see all the work you put into evey vidoes of your keep up the nice bro mate
Tommy explained what he meant by that comment about beating you. I don't think it was him talking trash, I think it was because you didn't have some of the things you needed done that you were trying to get done.
Cant wait to see the dyno, keep up the great videos. Enjoyed watching this whole miata build. The passion you have in this build is amazing, you just want everything perfect and some people won't understand, keep your motivation up, its gonna be a epic race if both drivers push hard
You will probably want some slight toe-in in the rear given how much torque you have for said road race, will make it more stable, I think you have already, can't remember.
Keep doing you Taylor, you've built a great car. What most of these people dont realize is drifters are the best drivers. Drifters understand car control and can get into the worst situations and still control the car. That's why my money is on you. Team Proxzimity proves your driving ability.
God I'm not a miata fan but I love yours so much I built a really close replica on forza horizon 4 but it makes 500whp either way keep killing it love the content and the car.
Also see if Adam can hook you up with some ignite one time and see what it makes on a dyno vs just pump E. Would be interesting if the car can handle it
Stay humble I fallow both builds. He stated when he did his breakdown that he had over spent and wasnt going to do anything else to the car.you have always said there thing that were planned to upgrade. They are 2 awesome builds in there own category.
if the powers are gonna be that close 300 vs 320 as you said (just a hypothesis don't get mad) i guess it'll come down to the driver?, I haven't really paid attention to either tommy or taylor's driving , so will be cool to see the results, but end of the day will probs more satisfying seeing Taylor win just with a less costly set up, can beat bulk money (this isnt a dig at either parties as i like both of them and their cars)
Me to Taylor is gonna crush it he has great car control and understanding of his car and all that goes into it I think Tommy is gonna b awful butthurt when he gets his ass smacked.go Taylor
I like how you said "if you know cars you didn't question this" and this whole time I understood how you didn't change much at all 😂 made me feel smart 🤓
Tommy went itb and e85 to try and compare to yours. Don’t worry about the people that think you are trying to get an edge. He added 100 hp and new coil overs to his car.
I love this shit! People need to stop trying to creat drama and just enjoy. As someone who loves racing of all kinds, i cant wait to see it go down. Cheers! 🍻
I am admittedly team Taylor, but, I don't see anything wrong with prepping your car for a race. For science, I think you should run the right spring rate for drifting instead of grip. I think you are a better driver, it would make it fair.
My opinion on the race with Tommy is that at this point you guys might be even,I hope you win because I've watched you and the miata from the day you bought it and respect the fact you built it yourself with very minimal help,that and your a pretty cool dude that's not a "car a55hole".I really dont watch Tommy's videos because I can't stand his attitude,I did however watch his recent miata videos and yea I can honestly say his car is pretty cool too and like your car the power to weight ratio would be close in my opinion.it does come down to experience,setup and capability of the cars so we'll see what happens but I'm rooting for you dude,go kick some ass and have fun bro!!! Keep up the awesome work Taylor you rock.
Honestly this whole thing is barely a Tommy vs Taylor it's a fans vs creator. People are stupid and taking the whole change thing to a whole blown out level. I'm really not sure what Tommy has said because I don't watch his videos but jeeze according to what I know you've "FIXED" your car (suspension was just incorrectly measured for the drop knuckles etc) and hes gone through his car. Do I care?! No! Why? Because if theres a race theres a race. If theres a race between a stock miata and your ls miata it would still be an interesting comparison.
Don't trip on what peep saying there just trying to get in ur head... DONT FORGET ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN< AND YOU GUYS ARE ALL FRIENDS AT THE END OF THE DAY!!!
taylor in my eye's you allready won. Everyone can pay somebody to build a car. You did it yourself! respect
Exactly what I was thinking that's why I'd way rather Taylor win
But tommy did do everything lol besides dyno tuning. Dumbass
@@TheMajestyD you must of not watched all his videos then cause he clearly brought it to the other guys shop so he could do the engine work I like Tommy great guy but he definitely doesn't do all of the work to his cars very rarely will you see him working on his own shit maybe coilovers and wheels that's about it the little shit
Taylor will win, not only is he a better wrench than Tommy he is also a better driver.
@@NippyMoto I agree. and also he should be able to setup his suspension better because of his background.
What it comes down to is that this challenge is only tangentially related to the initial comment. You are dialing your car in and Tommy is trying to bring his to a level that can beat it.
I don't think you need to defend or explain yourself on this anymore. People either get it or they don't at this point.

And you should buy a barrel of e90 and run that for the Tommy race.
i really used to find your vidoes boring but now iam really starting to enjoy them more and more i can see all the work you put into evey vidoes of your keep up the nice bro mate
Tommy explained what he meant by that comment about beating you. I don't think it was him talking trash, I think it was because you didn't have some of the things you needed done that you were trying to get done.
Money is on Taylor
imanol flores money on Tommy
Take pride in built not bought no matter the outcome👍
Cant wait to see the dyno, keep up the great videos. Enjoyed watching this whole miata build. The passion you have in this build is amazing, you just want everything perfect and some people won't understand, keep your motivation up, its gonna be a epic race if both drivers push hard
You will probably want some slight toe-in in the rear given how much torque you have for said road race, will make it more stable, I think you have already, can't remember.
I do have it already. Slight toe in just like I would have for drifting. I’ll pull the rear camber out for drifting and add it back in for the track.
Favorite type of backwoods? Go
i want to see what it puts down on 93 because i have an N/A 5.3 with the same cam and all.
Taylor I love your videos ignor the hater your great and there clearly uneducated in cars and the way cars drive keep up the great videos
phil swift here bringing you another video on the flex line of products: FLEX FUEL
Keep doing you Taylor, you've built a great car. What most of these people dont realize is drifters are the best drivers. Drifters understand car control and can get into the worst situations and still control the car. That's why my money is on you. Team Proxzimity proves your driving ability.
Don’t forget to mention tyre pressures. That’s a mod isn’t it 😂
DAAAAMNNN :D that clip from system of a down's song made my freaking day!
What will it take for the gauge cluster to work?
You gotta drive all the way to Okahumpka to get e85?
God I'm not a miata fan but I love yours so much I built a really close replica on forza horizon 4 but it makes 500whp either way keep killing it love the content and the car.
Don’t let the internet make y’all not like each other! I know this is a drift thing but just keep it fun fellas!
Also see if Adam can hook you up with some ignite one time and see what it makes on a dyno vs just pump E. Would be interesting if the car can handle it
it SOUNDS so much better on the e85!!!
Taylor should seriously consider studying meteorology to be our in house miata weather expert.
What injector size and fuel pump you running?
Wish I could have my pool open all year around!! You should invite your friends over for a small party!
You could hang clear Christmas lights from the top of your pool overhang thing, itll look sick
love the s.o.a.d. reference
so when are you all going to be in my neck of the woods at the firm with the miata's. some time next week i'm hoping
Stay humble I fallow both builds. He stated when he did his breakdown that he had over spent and wasnt going to do anything else to the car.you have always said there thing that were planned to upgrade. They are 2 awesome builds in there own category.
if the powers are gonna be that close 300 vs 320 as you said (just a hypothesis don't get mad) i guess it'll come down to the driver?, I haven't really paid attention to either tommy or taylor's driving , so will be cool to see the results, but end of the day will probs more satisfying seeing Taylor win just with a less costly set up, can beat bulk money (this isnt a dig at either parties as i like both of them and their cars)
would the welded diff make you slide int the corners or is it limited slip/locking diff
I know enough about cars and I know my moneys on you👍
Me to Taylor is gonna crush it he has great car control and understanding of his car and all that goes into it I think Tommy is gonna b awful butthurt when he gets his ass smacked.go Taylor
And he built it himself and he is not a cocky arrogant prick like Tommy I watch Tommy vids some but not a huge fan his ego is a little much.
A stock ls will out perform any k series easily .#no replacement for displacement
@@kxlucifer Show me any car with a stock LS running 9s or shut your mouth. You don't know shit if you sincerely believe this.
In terms of skill, Tommy did really well at the nurburgring
You won for building your own car in my book
What parts you needed to achieve this?
Yoooo taylorrrrrrrrr I’ve been waiting for thisssss foreverrrr keep up the good content I love it bro🙏
the clips you edited in were so funny
i kinda want the miata to be a time attack track car now. like go crazy with downforce, wide sticky tires, supercharger, etc.
It sounds better with e-85, and when are you going to wire up those dummy gauges so that you got it looking more stock and will you ever do that?
I heard you made big numbers on the dyno
taylor do a tutorial video on doing pigtails
Oh man you don't need to prove anything just do what you do man!
I like how you said "if you know cars you didn't question this" and this whole time I understood how you didn't change much at all 😂 made me feel smart 🤓
yoo! why the cage around the pool? aligators?
Keeps leaves, bugs and stuff out of the pool. Mosquitoes out of that area as well. Dinner on the patio at night in Florida is something that is done.
Did Ben park that blue Miata where you going to put the fab table out of spite?
The hype is real
curious since you said you had 862 heads,, were the heads swapped on the engine you have? 862 was a 4.8 and 5.3 head i believe
Hunter Goodwin he’s running a aluminum 5.3. Engine came with 862 heads.
@@dustinmcgovney7684 oh okay, for whatever reason I thought he said it was an ls1 a few videos ago
If you decide to go to Australia, meet up with Beavis Motorsport.
Or perhaps feature your Miata at the Slip Angle when in Connecticut.
So ready for you to win the battle
Tommy went itb and e85 to try and compare to yours. Don’t worry about the people that think you are trying to get an edge. He added 100 hp and new coil overs to his car.
I like both channels just have fun should be good content.👍👍👍👍👍
I love this shit! People need to stop trying to creat drama and just enjoy. As someone who loves racing of all kinds, i cant wait to see it go down. Cheers! 🍻
I don’t know anything about the race can someone link me to the video about the race
I am admittedly team Taylor, but, I don't see anything wrong with prepping your car for a race. For science, I think you should run the right spring rate for drifting instead of grip. I think you are a better driver, it would make it fair.
My opinion on the race with Tommy is that at this point you guys might be even,I hope you win because I've watched you and the miata from the day you bought it and respect the fact you built it yourself with very minimal help,that and your a pretty cool dude that's not a "car a55hole".I really dont watch Tommy's videos because I can't stand his attitude,I did however watch his recent miata videos and yea I can honestly say his car is pretty cool too and like your car the power to weight ratio would be close in my opinion.it does come down to experience,setup and capability of the cars so we'll see what happens but I'm rooting for you dude,go kick some ass and have fun bro!!! Keep up the awesome work Taylor you rock.
Honestly this whole thing is barely a Tommy vs Taylor it's a fans vs creator. People are stupid and taking the whole change thing to a whole blown out level. I'm really not sure what Tommy has said because I don't watch his videos but jeeze according to what I know you've "FIXED" your car (suspension was just incorrectly measured for the drop knuckles etc) and hes gone through his car. Do I care?! No! Why? Because if theres a race theres a race. If theres a race between a stock miata and your ls miata it would still be an interesting comparison.
Im no doctor but i think the grinder wont make sparks when cutting rubber lolol
the system of a down clip 👌🏼😂
What kinda laptop is that?
Where I live in Sweden I don't even see one cop a week. You get surprised when you see one.
Don't trip on what peep saying there just trying to get in ur head... DONT FORGET ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN< AND YOU GUYS ARE ALL FRIENDS AT THE END OF THE DAY!!!
I think it's going to be fun to watch
You really need to get the speedo and tack working. Lol.
This thing is gonna take flight
Wipe the floor with him! Tommy toughguy is going down!
