THIS. I can't get over how this channel is absolutely amazing, he's creativity/humbleness/humor is amazing, and could as well do a quality series like Greg's motoring. And this whole journey with driveway built miata from hell is amazing
Haha If NA stands for naturally aspirated, yes. I drive a Suzuki Sidekick and it has a 1.8 engine. Kinda like a Miata. With the AC on its slightly less responsive. You turn it off it's like adding turbo lol.
This was QUALITY. Loved the theme and appreciated the time you put into those animations. One of my favorite videos of yours in a while. Would have loved to see a throttle bar, and I thi n the production quality could be improved by color matching the helmet cam with the front cam, and by setting the front cam to a narrower field of view to help enhance the sensation of speed.
Agree with everything. If you look at the in-car footage, you can actually see in the upper left area of the tablet I have a throttle bar, and I have footage of that, but I learned that with the stabilization of the GoPro turned on it shifts around on the screen too much for me to crop it out and use it. I'm on it though!
@@TheCarPassionChannel I'm not an expert or anything but if you log your trip on MS, can't you make an animation of the throttle log? (And any other data you wish.)
Intro: very good idea the 8bit style with chiptune, loved it During clips: cool idea the overlay with the gears, nice to see you driving it that hard, i really did appreciate the clips with the turbo and exhaust manifold on the camera + all the rest was just amazing. You are good at driving imho, i have been to nurburgring at nordscheleife. You're also good at heel toeing ( i don't know if that is the proper translation ) Anyway, good work man, you are inspiring and entertaining at the same time
I CAN LITERALLY WATCH THIS ALL DAY. The sounds, the camera angles, seeing the wastegate working on the turbo is just fucking cool. Very good at heel toeing BTW.
Man thank you so much! First if all that intro was absolutely dope Second of all, I remember asking you for raw sound / driving videos with external mics and you just delivered! It was awesome! It would be crazy if you could screen capture your megasuirt dash and overlay it on a video! Thank you Grag i
This is everything I want in a TH-cam video. From the video game effects to the pedal footage, and gear selection. Everything is so good. Only thing that would make this better would be on a track, with an announcer talking smack about your driving skills. It would be hilarious. But that is adding a whole bunch of variables to making a simple TH-cam video. So I understand. This was absolutely great
This was such a cool idea. I'm so stoked to see the miata in its home territory with the power goal achieved that you set out for 2 years ago. Way to go man!!!
Just watched this wish I had watched sooner. Loved the video game feel in the beginning especially stage select screen, 8 bit music and sound was great. Multiple cameras awesome especially pedals. Shifter overlay helps. Only thing I could think might be cool is drone footage overhead show the whole course or maybe a second chase miata.
So glad that you took a drive in the hills. It is really irritating to see guys doing car mods only to go to the drag strip and do quarter mile runs. Great content and thanks for all the vids. over the years. Your channel is the go to place for any Miata/MX5 owner even mildly interested in tuning their own car.I think it is safe to say that if it was'nt for Car Passion Channel so many of us guys and girls out there would never have attempted working on our own cars. Big thumbs up for your time and passion.
Greg, you are doing a fantastic job. That was a FANTASTIC driving video. Please don't feel the need to push on the street for the channel. I'll never post half the videos I've recorded. 100% agree with your take. My car started at 90whp and setting the rear bar on kill has allowed me to learn to drive it sideways at triple the stock HP. Be safe. Great work.
I'm building an na miata. I have all the parts i need turbo it it takes so long to put everything together when you can only work a couple hours at a time on it. Everytime I feel like I'm not getting anywhere and I feel like it's a waste of time and money all I have to do Is watch these canyon runs and I quickly remember why I'm turbocharging my car. There's no replacement for the way a fast good handling car drives. Thanks greg for the inspiration and the passion for the love of quick cars!
Just got my stickers bro! Thanks for the affordable street cred! Great video man. Dude build your car how you want it, haters gonna hate. Don’t you dare stop sharing your Miata Journey. Enthusiasts love your content.
Greg, I loved watching the boost guage! It was mesmerizing! Your lag time between shifts is over so fast you barely miss a naturally aspirated engine! Your foot work was also interesting. But I was fascinated by the glowing manifold and turbo! I had no idea they got so hot!
Miata dad comin through with another sick twisty road run. I enjoyed the turbo overlay, liked how you could see the turbo ramp up when you were on the throttle.
Simply the best miata or even the best car content you can crave for. All the overlays you did were chosen good and i think you should keep em. but id love to see you on a racetrack with all this footage you can provide, maybe take dragy data as well for speed (on the racetrack) and data from megasquirt about temperatures. These are just suggestions though, seriously Greg your content is golden
Looove the intro and the video. Loved that you are thinking of traffic and pedestrians and keeping things under control. The Best Motoring gear overlay is *chef kiss*. Watching the driving footage, the car is obviously scary fast and at this point hilariously overpowered for many of our tighter LA area canyons. It feels like as far as speed goes, you've arrived. I'd actually love to see you start to make content focusing on chassis and suspension tuning. Maybe comparing some different brace setups side by side, maybe trying some seam welding. A lot of us miata owners are have been comparing stuff like this for years in stock cars and more lightly modified turbos, but I haven't seen a ton of 400hp miatas really sorting out what the best frame rail setup is, or talking about poly vs rubber suspension bushings. Forgive me if you've covered any of that before... but even if you have, have you covered it at 400hp??! It feels like some conventional wisdom might start to give way at these power levels. And I want YOU to find out!
Awesome video. Love the gear indicator overlay. You are driving the shit out of it and it's amazing to watch. It's so obvious you know the car and you've grown with the car.
Great road. Nice job with the camera on your footwork, engine bay, shifting and POV. We don’t have a circuit track here on Maui so those types of roads are my happy place. Looked like a blast🤙
Damn... The video is so good... the glowing manifold, the sound of the turbo, all camera angles... it looks like it’s a lot of work but man, so good to watch and hear ! I don’t have any ideas on how to make it better, I let you figure it out 😉 Like you said, your Miata is an absolut weapon on roads like this ! I hope someday mine gets like half the level of yours, and I would be happy ! Great job man ! Peace from France 👍😎
Best video I've seen in a while. The camera angles are on point. Especially the manifold/turbo camera. first time seeing the turbosmart wastegate doing it's thing. The manifold was glowing red screaming for Mercy. Man, that car in the tail of the dragon would be a death trap, especially for people with no smooth throttle. I would love to hear more commentary on the feel of the car in the turns, feedback from brake, traction limit, etc. Hopefully you can go to an autocross or a track day after this pandemic. This Miata can start breaking lap records.
Greg- that was stupendously fast! If I drove my NB turbo like that here in Aus they'd lock me up and throw away the key. Awesome video, awesome channel, you are a source of inspiration and great assistance. Keep it up.
I love the show of the shifting the petal box and showing the front view as well as the steering, it was really good, shows me what I need to do to hell out my drive with my miata
Catching up on your older video's, this shows that even with the big power the smooth delivery is a great balance to complement the chassis and it hooks on the twisty stuff!
Loved the in-frame shots of the pedals and gears (not sure about the socks & hairy legs though ¦8¬o !!). It's got to be the best 5 minute touge run I've seen - brilliant. The turbo seems to be a perfect balance of power and quick spool time - don't change it (unless you're just going to the drags) - but we know you won't do that to us!
I enjoyed that it wasn’t a dirt bike video.... I’m happy for you that it’s finally running well and looks like a wicked fun car to drive like that. Thumbs up!!
Just picked up a bone stock 93 that I will be able to grow with like you did. Its fun to drive even at stock hp. I'm glad I have it now and I'm glad I have a guide such as you and your videos. Keep them coming.
Those camera angles....all multiples were sick...Kudos Sir...Just awesome driving and camera...Your MIATA IS SICK..never to much power....early subscriber....keep it goin' man..
Love the intro and the 8bit gaming references. This video was great. It be cool to see the car from the chasing perspective especially going through the corners to get a feeling of how fast you go through those corners and watch the Miata disappear when you get into the corners.
LOVED THIS ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO YOU KILLED IT. Loved the intro, the gaming theme, the overlays were killer, loved the foot work and the ENGINE camera shots was INSANE. You didnt kill the spirit, I think you set it and did it RIGHT. KEEP IT UP BROTHER! The engine shots with the shifting diagram... dude just everything about this was mint... I think ive watched this over like 3 times. PS When you gonna start doing stuff with that Dirtbike you bought? Would be a nice change of pace to see some dirtbike vids :D
I think a lot of comments already have brought up some good places to improve the quality of content so I just want to say that watching your channel has definitely made my own build ideas and current projects attainable. Thank you for the inspiration🙏
Loved the intro! Really enjoyed the engine bay cam, and the pedal box view. I'd love to see a GoPro stuck down in the front wheel wells so we can see suspension articulation, tire deflection, steering movement, etc.
Easily one of the best miata run videos on TH-cam right now. Love all the angles and pedal view. And also that boost gauge view. It's not just a data overlay but the real time video. Love it!!
1) absolutely not. That thing is an amazing machine and you should be proud. 2) video format/style was incredible. I grew up in the late 80's so this was a trip down memory lane (although never played that game if you were referring a specific one). Keep up the good work! I dream about turboing my miata every night. You are a huge inspiration for my build.
Dude, i cant beleive i never watched this channel. You have built an extremely well balanced car and it looks like the perfect sized turbo for your application. The response is fantastic and similar to how current race cars spool and transiton through boost under throttle. Fantastic work and a hell of a good build. As for people saying put a bigger turbo on... you've probably never driven a 2200lb car with 500hp.... its fucking quick. Fantastic and well thought out build. Well done.
driver cam would be interesting also exhaust tip camera? coilover camera to see the rebound and shock going through it exterior camera aiming at the rear wheel showing whenever traction is lost and its fun to watch with the road lines frond bumper low mount camera for sense of speed/ go kart feel
I know I'm late to the party but killer video, favorite intro you've ever done. Also I'm so happy to see how well your car does on a canyon run, and when I say your car is goals, I legitimately mean that. I've been watching your videos for about 5 years now and I've been wanting my car to perform the way yours does. Awesome content, keep it coming, and thanks for all the knowledge over the years.
awesome content as usual, "craig". digging the intro. can't tell which pov i like better - they're all pretty cool. definitely enjoy the shifting overlay.
Wow great video. Love the multiple camera angles on the tac and pedals. Reminds me off all the hours of Best Motoring I used to watch. Good job. Also jealous of that road.
Dude! Love the video! Keep them coming! The only angle I really want to see is set up a go pro up on the hardtop window on the inside, facing the front of the car, to see like a full cockpit view! That would be SWEET I used to do that on some scca videos i did with my miata
This gives my the same vibes as the video that got me into miatas and your channel. The one where you were chasing down the motorcycle. You've come a long way and I've loved every minute of your journey. You inspire so many people in ways you can't possibly know.
Dude!!!! Awesome video. It truly inspires me to finish my na turbo build. I can't wait to hit me some canyon runs up here in Cheyenne. Ty,ty,ty,!! Keep them coming fella! Some megasquirt stuff would also be cool.
A huuuge thumps up Greg! That intro is so cool and brings me back to the early 90's when that graphics were superb! I think it's totally fine to do some spirited driving on public roads, as long as one is focused and aware of surroundings and conditions of the street and car. I think you're doing well, and I have lots of respect for you because you clearly talk about the complains and criticism about your driving on the road. Keep up your work, I'm looking forward to see new touge vids from you!
Thank you for the awesome driving video! I loved all the different angles including the cabin, footwell. An improvement I think you can do is, possibly do some voiceover, talking about what was going through your head at that certain moment. Kinda like best motoring does.
Alright, I really feel like I need to give you some proper feedback. Because this video was really good and satisfying to watch. I really liked your gamified approach (incl. overlay) and the different camera angles were not unnecessary at all. Takes some guts too to leave your gopro in your engine bay like that but hey these things can take a beating! While watching the engine bay shots I was really surprised of how much your engine moved while producing torque. You feel like it needs some stiffer engine mounts? I bet it would really do much to the power response. Maybe a bit of safety wiring? I don't know man, there's a lot going on in there! Wouldn't want anything to go flying. Also it looks like you're really in control of your car or it's either really glued to the road. It's wise to never get too greedy on the pedal and also good to see you're not beating up your transmission because I've seen you flat shift in other videos! :) I know these kinds of videos are exhausting to make. It requires more planning and more time at the desk to button up than other videos. Which is probably why I haven't put out a decent video yet. Keep up the good work. Thanks again for your great tutorials on MegaSquirt. Inspired me to save up to do a standalone in my Volvo 740 wagon (B230FK 2.3L Turbo) P.S.: No, you didn't ruin your miata
I liked ALL of the overlays in the video. I liked watching the heel-toe downshifting and the shots of the turbo glowing under the hood the most.🤤 awesome job!
I dont usually coment on youtube videos but MAN, that was insane!. That enginebay camera... just amazing the turbo was red hot? This is a really quality video graig, greig, greth xD i know its greg
Your car is rly awesome man it’s so clean and you honestly deserve so much more subscribers and popularity than you have, like such a good teacher and like so important to not only the miata scene but the car scene in general, I wish there was more car guys like you, like ur inspiring to watch man, keep doing what ur doing.
Damn man that was extremely impressive driving! I know that road like the back of my hand, good job! Also, the "GREGA" and Sega intro was fantastic, definitely should keep that as a staple! Hope you are doing well man, keep up the awesome stuff you are doing.
Greg, I have 400 wheel torque at 3000 rpm, I totally agree with everything you said about power band. Also for the people with stock miatas, ls2 Miata owner here. For the street Im always grabbing my stock (horsepower) 94 NA8 keys over The 94 ls2 Miata. Something about driving a slow car fast is just 200% more fun. Don’t worry about power numbers, just go out & zoom!
That was awesome Greg, for the overlay stuff, you should be able to start a log on your dash, then import it into your PC later, screen cap on pc and sync up the time. That way you can customize the look of those things too! Love everything about this video, obviously a lot of effort went in, and damn that car is so nice man. So happy to see everything has come together so nicely for you. I don't think you ruined it at all. It looks awesome to drive.
Yes, he could export his datalog from the MS into CSV and import it into RaceRender and sync it up, which would be cool to see everything from his ECU's perspective. He killed it on this video. I'm not even a Miata guy and he always puts out killer content.
All the different elements of the video were interesting, but the mainly uncluttered view of the driving cams in the end half of the video was a great way to round it out. When I read the title about ruining the touge drive with too much power, I wondered if you had considered an NA (naturally aspirated) build ?(money & garage space notwithstanding)
I whole hearted agree with you on every aspect! Im not sure of a more funtional higher hp car. Its so badass and im glad that its all co.ing together for you. Im at that beginning srage as my 02 ls is my beginner rwd car and i too hope iver the coming years i grow with it. You are such an inspiration. And drivong fast now is probably as safe as its gonna get. Almost nobody on the backroads and zero police ,atleast here in ne pa. Your roads look so nice comparison to mine though.... Derek
Beautiful video Greg, You should come in italy... we have perfect roads to do this kind of things. The heel n toe, brightness of headers, the wastegate work, turbo spools and the car is so fast and has so much traction.. is awesome. The intro is perfect but to maximize our experience you I advise a camera on the exhaust. But very nice format!
dude!!!! awesome video. really like the sega style graphics in the beginning of the video. try adding some street angles as well (the wifey can do that). and its about time for you to start trying drifting as well. that beast needs to shred some tires babyyy
![FOR THE HATERS!! Tuning The Miata & SMASHING The Acceleration Records! [0-60mph | 100-200kph] Part 2](/img/n.gif)
The first ~5 mins of this video is quite possibly, the best content on TH-cam... Of all time.
THIS. I can't get over how this channel is absolutely amazing, he's creativity/humbleness/humor is amazing, and could as well do a quality series like Greg's motoring. And this whole journey with driveway built miata from hell is amazing
No Mf joke
Ima watch this every night before I go to bed
Chandon Pierre straight up was so damn cool
You need to get autho for the whole Hwy get it shutdown for complete run over double yellow. Love the hairy legs
This is what happens when you turn the AC off in your NA.
@John Daley #noacandpowersteering
😂😂😂 “ Unlimited powwwwaaaaa “
Haha If NA stands for naturally aspirated, yes. I drive a Suzuki Sidekick and it has a 1.8 engine. Kinda like a Miata. With the AC on its slightly less responsive. You turn it off it's like adding turbo lol.
@@JAK0E idk if you know but the first gen miata is the NA, second gen is NB etc.
This intro made me change my personal setting to “Hard”
understandably XD
Lollllllll
You can't be Master Bossing already?
I liked the bit where the camera was on the engin
When you think your miata is fast, then you click on a carpassion video :(
Man I know my Miata isn't fast, this just reinforced that thought. LOL
I know my Miata is slow AF but I still freakin love it
When you think just about anything you might have is fast lol
8bit intro, 4K content.
This was QUALITY. Loved the theme and appreciated the time you put into those animations. One of my favorite videos of yours in a while.
Would have loved to see a throttle bar, and I thi n the production quality could be improved by color matching the helmet cam with the front cam, and by setting the front cam to a narrower field of view to help enhance the sensation of speed.
Agree with everything. If you look at the in-car footage, you can actually see in the upper left area of the tablet I have a throttle bar, and I have footage of that, but I learned that with the stabilization of the GoPro turned on it shifts around on the screen too much for me to crop it out and use it.

would it be possible to get that sort of stuff from a data log?
@@TheCarPassionChannel I'm not an expert or anything but if you log your trip on MS, can't you make an animation of the throttle log? (And any other data you wish.)
That intro is the best thing ive ever seen
I can agree. 😮👌🔥
This is a masterpiece! The intro was amazing, I wanna play that game!
You just need to go into settings, change vehicle, THUNDERBOLT!

You can tell the officer who pulls you over that you didn’t break the speed limit since the speedo doesn’t work lol.

You do that here in Aus and you car will be given a defect and you will have to tow it home lmao
NippyMoto depends on what’s more expensive, the tow home or the ticket hahaha
I always wondered if he unplugged it on purpose for this video 🤣
Bro that intro has me cracking up, I also got more pleasure out of watching the waste gate work during the under hood shots.

Less light in the engine bay to see that glowing exhaust even easier please!

Not sure if this is real retro...didn't see you unplug that ecu cartridge, and blow the connector dust off.

This is the best canyon running miata video I've ever seen. The intro is amazing and THE GLOWING MANI.

10/10 would watch again. Killer intro and so awesome to see you ripping that car.
Is this the best video out this year or what !!!
Fantastic everything is truly brilliant in this video
Loved the intro! Really enjoyed the engine bay cam, and the pedal box view. I'd love to see a GoPro stuck down in the front wheel wells so we can see suspension articulation, tire deflection, steering movement, etc.
Easily one of the best miata run videos on TH-cam right now. Love all the angles and pedal view. And also that boost gauge view. It's not just a data overlay but the real time video. Love it!!
1) absolutely not. That thing is an amazing machine and you should be proud.
2) video format/style was incredible. I grew up in the late 80's so this was a trip down memory lane (although never played that game if you were referring a specific one).
Keep up the good work! I dream about turboing my miata every night. You are a huge inspiration for my build.
Dude, i cant beleive i never watched this channel.
You have built an extremely well balanced car and it looks like the perfect sized turbo for your application. The response is fantastic and similar to how current race cars spool and transiton through boost under throttle.
Fantastic work and a hell of a good build.
As for people saying put a bigger turbo on... you've probably never driven a 2200lb car with 500hp.... its fucking quick.
Fantastic and well thought out build. Well done.
Epic footage! Car looks really well balanced. Didn't like the front bumper footage too much. Big fan of the engine bay, cabin, and POV footage
driver cam would be interesting
also exhaust tip camera?
coilover camera to see the rebound and shock going through it
exterior camera aiming at the rear wheel showing whenever traction is lost and its fun to watch with the road lines
frond bumper low mount camera for sense of speed/ go kart feel
Absolute Madlad Grego
Also, i finished my MIATA TURBO INSTALL !!! NA6 go brrrrr
Brrrrrr
More like NA6 go CLANK BANG *car parts on the freeway*
So awesome! Keep those canyon runs coming, they are an inspiration to get my na done!!!!
More megasquirt stuff would be cool.
PREESH..
I know I'm late to the party but killer video, favorite intro you've ever done. Also I'm so happy to see how well your car does on a canyon run, and when I say your car is goals, I legitimately mean that. I've been watching your videos for about 5 years now and I've been wanting my car to perform the way yours does. Awesome content, keep it coming, and thanks for all the knowledge over the years.
This intro was sooo cool. With the engine and foot cam. Seeing you heel toe made me feel like I was watching hot version video.
awesome content as usual, "craig". digging the intro.
can't tell which pov i like better - they're all pretty cool. definitely enjoy the shifting overlay.
Wow great video. Love the multiple camera angles on the tac and pedals. Reminds me off all the hours of Best Motoring I used to watch. Good job.
Also jealous of that road.
I missed this stuff i love the hope overlay and the edits are super cool!
Really enjoyed this vids man and no music TFFT. Intro' was a great idea. Awesome car
Dude! Love the video! Keep them coming! The only angle I really want to see is set up a go pro up on the hardtop window on the inside, facing the front of the car, to see like a full cockpit view! That would be SWEET I used to do that on some scca videos i did with my miata
Definitelly keep the Grega theme for future runs, its great to see the road stats and map. Oh yeah, you RUINED that Miata to almost perfection
Easily the coolest video i've ever seen. Keep the awesome content coming!
This gives my the same vibes as the video that got me into miatas and your channel. The one where you were chasing down the motorcycle. You've come a long way and I've loved every minute of your journey. You inspire so many people in ways you can't possibly know.
Dude!!!! Awesome video. It truly inspires me to finish my na turbo build. I can't wait to hit me some canyon runs up here in Cheyenne. Ty,ty,ty,!! Keep them coming fella! Some megasquirt stuff would also be cool.
love this road, so much fun. ive had some close calls on it not going anywhere near as fast as you. good shit dude
Great video. I like the POV out the front glass and the motor veiw best
A huuuge thumps up Greg! That intro is so cool and brings me back to the early 90's when that graphics were superb! I think it's totally fine to do some spirited driving on public roads, as long as one is focused and aware of surroundings and conditions of the street and car. I think you're doing well, and I have lots of respect for you because you clearly talk about the complains and criticism about your driving on the road. Keep up your work, I'm looking forward to see new touge vids from you!
Thank you for the awesome driving video! I loved all the different angles including the cabin, footwell. An improvement I think you can do is, possibly do some voiceover, talking about what was going through your head at that certain moment. Kinda like best motoring does.
Omg Greg the turbo sounds 🤤
I’d buy this game👍🏻
Alright, I really feel like I need to give you some proper feedback. Because this video was really good and satisfying to watch.
I really liked your gamified approach (incl. overlay) and the different camera angles were not unnecessary at all.
Takes some guts too to leave your gopro in your engine bay like that but hey these things can take a beating!
While watching the engine bay shots I was really surprised of how much your engine moved while producing torque.
You feel like it needs some stiffer engine mounts? I bet it would really do much to the power response.
Maybe a bit of safety wiring? I don't know man, there's a lot going on in there! Wouldn't want anything to go flying.
Also it looks like you're really in control of your car or it's either really glued to the road.
It's wise to never get too greedy on the pedal and also good to see you're not beating up your transmission because I've seen you flat shift in other videos! :)
I know these kinds of videos are exhausting to make. It requires more planning and more time at the desk to button up than other videos.
Which is probably why I haven't put out a decent video yet.
Keep up the good work. Thanks again for your great tutorials on MegaSquirt.
Inspired me to save up to do a standalone in my Volvo 740 wagon (B230FK 2.3L Turbo)
P.S.: No, you didn't ruin your miata
I liked ALL of the overlays in the video. I liked watching the heel-toe downshifting and the shots of the turbo glowing under the hood the most.🤤 awesome job!
Love the intro
Love the noises
Love the car
Love these videos
Possible additions: more angles of the tires/exhaust/suspension
I dont usually coment on youtube videos but MAN, that was insane!. That enginebay camera... just amazing the turbo was red hot?
This is a really quality video graig, greig, greth xD i know its greg
This thing looks faster than a GT3RS. holy fuck miata dad, what have you done!
Absolutely loved this format, it was really nice to see your heel-toe-action and shifting.. please keep in mind though that THIS game only has 1UP!
Your car is rly awesome man it’s so clean and you honestly deserve so much more subscribers and popularity than you have, like such a good teacher and like so important to not only the miata scene but the car scene in general, I wish there was more car guys like you, like ur inspiring to watch man, keep doing what ur doing.
Damn man that was extremely impressive driving! I know that road like the back of my hand, good job! Also, the "GREGA" and Sega intro was fantastic, definitely should keep that as a staple! Hope you are doing well man, keep up the awesome stuff you are doing.
Sooo awesome! Its crazy how much you have gone through too get it too this point! See how much your enjoying it!
Greg, I have 400 wheel torque at 3000 rpm, I totally agree with everything you said about power band. Also for the people with stock miatas, ls2 Miata owner here. For the street Im always grabbing my stock (horsepower) 94 NA8 keys over The 94 ls2 Miata. Something about driving a slow car fast is just 200% more fun. Don’t worry about power numbers, just go out & zoom!
Wow that editing was the best content ive seen in a long time. You're a talented content creator both in the garage and behind the scenes.
That was awesome Greg, for the overlay stuff, you should be able to start a log on your dash, then import it into your PC later, screen cap on pc and sync up the time.
That way you can customize the look of those things too!
Love everything about this video, obviously a lot of effort went in, and damn that car is so nice man. So happy to see everything has come together so nicely for you.
I don't think you ruined it at all. It looks awesome to drive.
Yes, he could export his datalog from the MS into CSV and import it into RaceRender and sync it up, which would be cool to see everything from his ECU's perspective. He killed it on this video. I'm not even a Miata guy and he always puts out killer content.
All the different elements of the video were interesting, but the mainly uncluttered view of the driving cams in the end half of the video was a great way to round it out. When I read the title about ruining the touge drive with too much power, I wondered if you had considered an NA (naturally aspirated) build ?(money & garage space notwithstanding)
I whole hearted agree with you on every aspect! Im not sure of a more funtional higher hp car. Its so badass and im glad that its all co.ing together for you.
Im at that beginning srage as my 02 ls is my beginner rwd car and i too hope iver the coming years i grow with it. You are such an inspiration.
And drivong fast now is probably as safe as its gonna get. Almost nobody on the backroads and zero police ,atleast here in ne pa. Your roads look so nice comparison to mine though....
Derek
Dope vid bro. Love the game theme. Also the pedal view/tach and turbo glow
Love your content, thanks for all the time and effort. Thought the multicam angles were great.
Awesome content man, I really appreciate your Chanel and watching your car be built up
Beautiful video Greg,
You should come in italy... we have perfect roads to do this kind of things.
The heel n toe, brightness of headers, the wastegate work, turbo spools and the car is so fast and has so much traction.. is awesome.
The intro is perfect but to maximize our experience you I advise a camera on the exhaust. But very nice format!
Glad to see your car running and driving well. I know it’s been a lot of work. Man that thing sticks in the corners. Be safe out there.
Dude!!!!! This is awesome! Loved the video! Time for a real track day!!!!
Haha I love the video game theme Greg! Keep up the great work!
dude!!!! awesome video. really like the sega style graphics in the beginning of the video. try adding some street angles as well (the wifey can do that). and its about time for you to start trying drifting as well. that beast needs to shred some tires babyyy
Such a sick video man! Your channel deserves a millions+ subs
