Sway bars IS the mod to do. What a difference. Change the personality of the ND entirely.
He said 12-15 seconds to install the shift knob. It took me 30 seconds. I am still trying to get my money back but flyin Miata is giving me a hard time.
We blame... uh... Brandon!
I'd like a video about the differences between all 3 ND's please.
Good idea! We don't yet have our hands on an ND3, but we'll very likely cover this topic when the time comes.
Sway bars and wider wheels/tires all day for the ND. I have 8" Kogekis on mine with Pilot Sport 4s, and with the sway bars I feel so much more confident driving the car closer to the limit. Both make an already fun car into the perfect handling small sports car IMO.
yet mazda specifically says its made to be perfect on those smaller wheels
Curious as to what trunk spoiler is on that blue nd, looking into them and I’m wanting recommendations, thanks!
3-piece spoiler from Carbon Miata!
@@FlyinMiataVideoI’m looking for a trunk spoiler too. How did you do the install with the shark fin in place? Carbon Miata says, “This spoiler will interfere with the shark fin antenna.”
Yes! Much better!
Seriously considering 17x8 Tobu wheels for my ND. Already have FM sway bars.
We just received a restock of 17x8 Tobus, and they'll be on the site later this week!
What is that trunk organizer tray shown during the trunk light portion? My 2020 doesn't have that.
That's a factory Mazda trunk organizer.
What are the wheel dimensions and what tire is on the RF in the video? It looks great.
17x9, +45 Tobu wheel wrapped in 235/40-17 Toyo R888s. :)
Already have a Borla S-Type axle back muffler on my ND2. If I wanted a bit more power and bit more volume out the exhaust what would be my next change? Catless header with stock mid pipe? Or keep the stock header and swap to catless/high flow cat midpipe with a resonator?
For us, there's not enough HP difference running a catless vs a high flow cat setup to justify the bad smell and other concerns the feds have. If you're after some more power, an upgraded midpipe should help your current setup.
Saw on a forum you can fit 15inch wheels if the offsett is wild enough e.g 15x8 +25 any thoughts?
It's not so much the offset as the design of the wheel. Our Kogeki 15" wheels fit over stock ND brakes - including the +36 15x8. If you have the Brembos, our 15x9 fits over those as well.
I have Rays ZE40 17x7.5 wheels but have not bought tires yet. Would you recommend 215/45r17 or 225/45r17 size? I don’t track the car so more emphasis on daily drivability/comfort.
You won't notice any difference in drivability/comfort going to wider tires. If you want to keep the car fun for street driving stay with 205, it makes it much easier to break out the rear end in corners at lower speeds. The wider you go the more grip you have, so the more speed you can carry into and out of corners. This makes you better in track, or close to the limit driving, which you shouldn't be doing on the street.
205 section tires will give you enough grip to carry speeds well in excess of the posted speed limits on US roads; going wider will push those limits out even farther. If you're driving on a track, that's great! Your times will absolutely improve with wider tires. On the street you should absolutely not be worried about times. 205s will keep you more honest with what's appropriate for the road where there are so many variables you can't control, and keep the car fun and carefree. Improving the handling of the car with suspension upgrades, (sway bars first, springs/coilovers second) will eliminate the sloppy/floatiness of the car and actually improve your driving experience at all speeds and in all situations.
@@jgalt99 Thanks for the info. Wouldn’t 205 on a 7.5 inch wheel be stretched a bit though? Stock is 205 on a 7 inch wheel. I thought stretched tires means a more firm sidewall which leads to a less compliant ride (but more immediate turn-in).
@@LegoBuildersMOC It will be stretched a bit, but I don't think you would notice a difference on the street. I run 215 winter tires and 225 summer tires, the 215s are on a 7in wheel and the 225s are on an 8. They both have the same feel on the road until you start pushing the corners, and then the difference is night and day, but only in terms of grip. My suspension mods made a much bigger difference in terms of handling and feel.
You could run up to 225s on a 7.5 without any fitment issues, and the major difference in street driving you'll experience is grip. On the track more grip is faster corners and always better. On the street it just depends how you drive and what you want. Many people regret losing the slightly slower but more fun feeling of having the stock tire width because you can easily out-grip your torque in a Miata with wider tires.
I seem to remember you had a front brake duct solution early in the ND era that was essentially a “bolt in” where the running lights go on the lower fascia. I don’t see that on the website any longer. Was that not as effective as you expected or was it just not getting sales?
It was removed due to slow sales - Verus still sells a very similar kit that's just as effective: www.verus-engineering.com/shop/a0114a-full-brake-cooling-kit-miata-mx5-nd-386?category=7#attr=
Any eta on stock on the Koni yellows for the stage 1 and 2 kits?
Not yet - sorry! We'll be sure to post an ETA to the site as soon as we've heard from our supplier.
How much power can I recover by removing the catalytic converters on my ND2?
Little to none. And then you'll have to live with a smelly car and a constant check engine light and emissions failure. There's no good reason to do it.
What’s the tire size on the RF with the forged wheels?
235/40-17 Toyo R888.
First comment but I actually want to see this
Is the short throw shifter allowed with a Miata warrenty?
That will depend on your specific warranty - we suggest contacting your local dealer to see what they think.
@@FlyinMiataVideo thank you!
You never mentioned headers, ECU reflash or coilovers.
Those are certainly great mods, but we wouldn't consider them 'easy' compared to the mods on the list.
Where are you located.
We're located in Palisade, Colorado. We no longer service vehicles, unfortunately - but we're still happy to answer any Miata questions you might have.
best mod, swap for an na or nb haha
Hmm, I don't know if I should comment on this one :)
