Sometimes all you need is a good automotive reset with a Miata on a great road
But not everyone is so lucky to have such a great road near by.
Kyle, so glad to see you drive the NC Miata. I had an '06. Loved it. Was early on the list for a Cosworth supercharger but the very first ones delivered started spitting crankshafts out onto the road. and they stopped.
Coil-overs and a lighter exhaust are a must, but after that it has the greatest $/fun ratio of any car I have owned. You can't really feel the full fun of it unless fender-to-fender with other Miatas on a track. I drove all over, Tail of the Dragon, Ozarks, Hill Country Texas, Colorado... Cruise control Will Set at 140mph but won't hold if there is uphill or any headwind.
Looking back, I've had some fast cars. Any Camry has a faster 0-60 but very few cars are more everyday fun to drive than a Miata!
Edit: Regarding wintering it in Colorado- I had a family emergency and my wife's Subaru was out of town. I went from the Dallas area to Estes Park via Lyons in a blizzard when the road was 'closed' on Pirelli summer tires. No car I have driven has the raw handling of the Miata. God, I miss that car. Wish I had more room and I would add one.
This is one of the most fun driving videos I have seen anywhere on YT. What a testament to the MX-5 as driving should be fun over anything else.
Nice car I think it looks better than the new ones!
What fun Kyle! I still have an ‘01 Saab 9.3 ‘vert with stick and high output 2.0. It just turned 85k miles… barely broken in ;-)
Nice review, very balanced and accurate. No power on straights but so much fun in the corners .
I love Jordan's Miata, I have the exact same model year in red. I followed his guide for the stereo and gauge, same one lol
Great esthetic mods. It looks muuuuch better that way. I would like to see it with roof up. It takes out the weight of the overall look on the NC. Not a fan on custom mx5 usually uglier than original, but here wow! I will probably copy this if I find a good candidate as a daily NC sometimes this year. For now i use my restored NA to save on fuel but it is somehow too nice for a daily.
@Jordan, try the Eibach sway bars, at least on the front.
Could you please tell me where you got that spoiler. I love it.
I like everything you've done with your car.....classy without being gaudy. However, if it were mine I "might" leave the spoiler matching white. "Might"...'cuz yours looks good Black as well. May I ask what spoiler that is? Gorgeous car, any chance you might be at the Reunion at Barber racetrack this summer?
I just purchased one of these a few weeks ago. It's safely in winter storage right now, but I'm already looking to upgrade in the spring. What suspension set up did you go with? I've been looking at options from Flying Miata and Goodwin racing. Did you do the install yourself? If so, how difficult was it? Cheers.
Wow that altitude is making a huge difference in acceleration. I'm in Tennessee, can't believe it's actually noticeable but it is
Fantastic video. I have a 2008 NC with PRHT (in Red Copper Mica--not the nicest red, but not bad, either). The car has just over 27,000 km on the odometer and has never been winter driven. I do lament the fact that I didn't wait for the next year (and the forged crankshaft / suspension attachment and bushing changes). Do you think that the mods you used in your vehicle would work in mine... and would it be worth it for me to spring for the engine and transmission you have, perhaps with a few more mods to open up the torque and perhaps lower the final drive ratio? Any advice you may have would be most welcome.
Yes! The NC is the best Miata ever. I have a 2012 True Red and I love it.
What wing is that?
Hood wrap looks good
Thanks for sharing this epic drive, folks. After all these years there's still no real competition to the Miata for an affordable roadster, hopefully there will be a similar electric version soon.
Auto six speed with paddle shifters is the same fun with no clutch.
All Miatas feel much slower with a passenger...150 or 200 lbs makes a huge difference in these cars. He should have taken it for another rip alone, just to feel the difference. I'm sure that altitude didn't help either. Compared to my previous NAs and NB, my NC feels relatively torquey (driving alone .... At sea level ... On hight test ... 😂)
Can't wait to buy my NC2 !!
Oh me too. Did you buy one? 😅
@@b-dogs1038 not yet! 🤯
@@hardyk2010 hey , I’m hearing you:)
I’ve been hanging out since 2017 & haven’t bought # 1. lack of spare cash . I basically promised myself to pull the trigger before I turn 50 & that’s soon. Im gonna make it happen the next couple of mths. Good luck!
On my fourth NC but an NC2 witch is so much better.
Nice NC but the black on the hood IMO doesn't do anything for the car. I'm curious do you have the 2.0 L or the 1.8 L. ? I know certain models did come with the 1.8 L , not sure why Mazda did that.
All U.S. NC Miatas are 2.0 L. Of course now many enthusiasts are swapping in 2.5s, but all came from the factory with 2.0.
Oh that's so cool, I found where you drove, and where you have done your introduction. You don't see me, but I'm following you... On Maps 😄
This was my previous car, then I switched on the new generation, and now I am, more likely, gonna switch to an electric.
That’s an odd comment
@@OutofSpecReviews 😂. It's like a puzzle game for me. I usually do it with series. Don't worry it has nothing to do with you 🤣. I might have been inspired by Halloween, a little bit, for my previous comment. 😁
Jordan shitting his pants while this dude reams the shit out of his car through the twisties
The NC Miata is a great car but the Fiat 124 is actually a better driving car. More usable and better looking (Subjective). I have owned both and I will take 124 Fiat any day over a Miata but a Miata would be my 2nd choice for sure.
The 124 is a Miata..
Parts will be murder 😄
Great Vid. Surely the ‘black sheep’ tag for NC’s has dropped off. Who started that anyhow?
na’s , nb’s are getting a bit old & atleast NC’s are relatively modern & solid - do some mods ppl!
*reminds me of some loser guy that claimed Nickelback were no good or something & kicked off hate from there😂
after driving all the EV's you have with zero to 60 I can only imagine you felt it was slow
That’s why it’s so important to drive a wide array of vehicles to reset the butt dyno if you will
@@KyleConner exactly
NC is the worst Miata.
I reject your reality and substitute my own. 😁
And NE will be the best.lighter, quicker and more HP.
@@alexnutcasio936 NE and NF is actually the Fiat 124 spider. We're not sure yet what chassis code will be next gen miata...
@@Jordan_Schiefer well,it’s coming, 2023 or 2024. Refresh time.
@@Jfre2 I’d have to agree. It’s subjective anyway.
