It's always nice seeing my car on another channel, glad you had fun taking a rip on it 😌 lmk if you guys have any questions
You'll regret getting rid of it trust me!
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks I probably will, but I want to move on to bigger and better things. I don't want to be sentimental about mechanical objects (as hard as it is)
@@pattyboi I hear you sold my built Mazdaspeed Miata for s2000 several years ago now looking get into new BRZ/GR86. Know once I sell s2000 likely will never get another because pricing/demand
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks Yeah I was looking at S2000s. I want an AP2 but honestly.....imo that car is not worth the $30k people are asking. I just can't justify that when its the same price as a brand new GR
This is my dream car I’m happy you shared it with us on this video
I can tell you are 110% comfortable with driving the heck out of any Miata. This car looks like it handles great , sounds a bit loud , but really good.
But I mean how complicated do you think a Miata is to drive ?
@@mbank3832 mastering any car is hard, a lot of the times you haven’t mastered a car even if you tell yourself you did, topper has owned Miata’s forever so he’s super comfortable with them
@@Naxatthedoor not exactly. some car just easier to drive then others. if you have driven a car, any car, ofc you gonna know the in and out in some degree to know that car's limit, but doesn't mean the car itself is hard...
@@mbank3832 you are the type of person to argue about literally anything lol
@@mcstench8913 well, i am not the one who first come barking so you are your own type too
4:14 - 4:40 put a huge grin on my face. Hilarious, flips the switch to the higher boost map and pulls noticeably harder. So cool.
Its refreshing to see a manual without any rev hang.
Old cars are the best haha
Our 79 has rev hang cuz the accelerator sticks 🤣🤣
To be faiiiiiiiir, new cars can easily have their hang tuned out. Yeah it's shit. But easily removable if you're modding it anyway.
@@Bwillev but why should you have to do that lol
@@mcstench8913 Ask the oem's my guy
no mx-5 generation suffer from rev hang. Even the newest ND Miata does not have rev hang. No need to have "old car".
You said it. This is the perfect power level for a miata. You can wind it out and make it work for it but not too hard. Fast but not too fast. Just right. That's what it's about. Really a thing of beauty when well executed like this.
5:16 this is my absolute favorite part of owning a Miata. Top up to top down in 3 seconds
Not if you have a windshot and a back window on the zipper >_
@@aresxx2217 I did but I kept the back window zipped down for airflow haha
it was actually 2 seconds
Super happy sounding car. I love these things. It just takes you to the very essence of driving, just with more power in this case and the addition of turbo noises :))
Love my car being on this channel, learning how to drive my 2004 NB and loving it so far
Always love seeing this yata on the channel! Idk what I love more the fact that its comfortably pushing 220, or that I'm listening to a Miata with no lifter tick !!!
Love it when you review older cars. Great video on a great vehicle :)
I can't believe those turbo noises! Sounds amazing. No under the hood mic shenanigans that's the real stuff.
i've had my gr86 for a 2 weeks now and I am currently trying to sell it for a new miata. All these RTV warranty issues are putting me back to the nightmares I went through with my 2015 Subaru Sti. I also miss my NB Miata. Funny to see different people going different directions with both of these cars. Best of luck!!
that looks like it runs and shifts so smooth! sounds amaazing too, could really see my self in a car like that
Another banger, Topher - great vid
Very very nice build! Looks and sounds amazing.
Cool car and definitely one of the cooler guests on the channel!
I absolutely love this steering design of Mazda. reminds me of the RX7
Even my Protege has this wheel aha
One of my favorite Miata's and channels on TH-cam
No rev hang!! Clutch in, drops like a rock.
This thing sounds nice asf, the accelerations look very slick aswell
beautiful ride amazing noises looks like a blast
Cool to see Patti Boi on your channel. I’m subbed because of his brother’s Elantra N. I’ll definitely have to check out his GR86 vids now too. That Miata looks like a blast to drive!
It's Patty Boi! What a cool colab. I started watching his channel for all of the good Elantra N content he posts with his brother!
The Miata is in mint condition, happy for the new owner and hello 86!
ND2 + BBR super 220 kit is my dream Miata. Keep it na but Imrove redline to 8k improve hp and the torque curve is great.
Watching random Miata videos, when I realize I know exactly where they're at. Hope I see that Miat around sometime!
Love this NB, hope to model my own after it! The flying miata kit seems like the perfect amount of power
I’m gunning for 350wheel on my nb2 it just wasn’t enough at 250
@@stoney3694did you build engine ?
Patty is the man!
Topher I’ve got a 330whp EFR Miata in between this and the 440hp NA you did. If you’re ever in the Philly area, would love to meet up
such a clean miata
I had MX5 of this kind. It can be very quick car but in order to be quick it needs as must semi slick tires, improved brakes calipers etc and suspension.
I've never seen somebody drive a manual so smoothly. Like 6:22 was so smooth
What's smooth about putting the gear in neutral and wasting the poor fellas "track pads" when he miscalculates the speed and makes the brakes work harder because there's no engine braking?
All in the clutch work. Slip the clutch for just a short moment as the rpms fall during a gear change and the rpm will synchronize perfectly before any significant engine load is applied to the drivetrain again. Removes the herky jerky feeling, saves drivetrain components and bushings, and doesn't really affect clutch life much.
Basically, just don't let the clutch out so fast during gear changes.
The 6 speed with the miata roadsters shifter feels great
This seems like a joy to drive
NB is my favorite. This would be my ideal build but maybe with a pro charger instead
If you’re ever find yourself in Massachusetts specifically near Boston, I have a car that would be interesting for you to drive. A 2013 Honda Accord Coupe 2.4 I4 6MT. 0-60 6.6s so it’s fairly quick and fun to drive. Hits VTEC like a champ!
Holy shit that caught me off guard but I took this route home from work for years! Didn’t know you were Michigan based lol
Nicee, I love cars are looking like from fabric but with a mor power than serial :d
what more would you ever want out of a sports car..esp for weekend fun... miata is always the answer
Nice sounds
I guess this is why BBR's 225 kit for the NC and ND are so popular!
great noiseeeeeeeeeeee all around
so sick!

More collabs with modified cars please!
Gotta love them Amazon shift knobs
Topher back in a Miata 😳 you love to see it
I still miss my black 94!
Thats a great car. I would love to build or buy one of those
In love whit this car
Miata is always the answer
10:36 I went across the country in my NB and I'll do it again without a doubt.
3v mustang next please
beautiful beautiful car
I think this is what I need to build on my spare time. Think I'm going to start racing scca at the Poconos Pennsylvania. What do you think he's all in on this project? $15k?
similiar situation myself selling the k20 MR-S to get into the new 23' BRZ pretty excited! 👍
I would take this raw experience with cable throttle OVER a GR 86 any day!
I really want one now :-)
I wish I never sold my turbo miata. I've never driven a car as perfectly enjoyable.
Not sure if it's just something vibrating but it sounds like the engine is pinging at 4:32 as it approaches the limiter.
11:21 That’s the worst part about the BRZ; it’s just as fast as the GR86 and it’s comfortable. 😂
200-250 horsepower seems like the perfect amount for a Miata, any more than that you'd sacrifice driveability and reliability. things start breaking
I wish the 2.5T skyactiv could be given to the Miata. 250 HP and 300+ lb ft.
Damn hope he either holds on to the Miata or Saves his cash until the engine issue gets fixed on the gr86brz
Please, more older (especially jdm) cars! They're so satisfying to watch, honestly. All fresh cars are kinda boring and... same, yk.
his channel is very interesting
Any thoughts on a build like this vs a stock ND? As a second car
I miss my NA turbo miata sooooo much
Why are you getting rid of it, keep them both!
Anyone know what the metallic rattling sound in the higher rpms is?
this just makes me want a miata even more, i wish they didn’t cost an arm and a leg!
They don't
looking at them generally they dont, but they cost a shit ton more than they used to. good luck finding an NA below like 4k in decent condition
@@skylinefx049 yea the trash ones don't XD good luck finding an NB that isnt a total headache for less than 7k+
@@chanmanthegreat1429 you can get a nice one for 15k which I would not call an arm and a leg
@@skylinefx049 15k?? that is a LOT for a Miata...
Watching this video just makes me want to go and rip my Nb on some backroads lol
As a (recent) 6 speed owner, first time, for the stock setup I really prefer the 6 speed. Your hands are always busy with something, and you're always in the power. If I ever go turbo (again), a 5 speed is definitely the move, otherwise you're going to be shifting like crazy with those short ratios
5 speed is known to be weak. I'd recommend a 6 speed with a 3.33 rear end. Which is just like a 5 speed but stronger and gives you an extra gear for a theoretical top speed of 180mph.
@@alicebate63845-speed is known to be weak? That’s incorrect, in fact it’s the reverse. It’s a stronger box than the six. One reason racers widely prefer the five. It can handle all the power a Miata should have - like in the video. It would be perfect with an OD 6th gear, but whatever.
You got that backwards. The 6 speeds are much stronger than the 5 speed in Miatas. 5 speeds have slightly better shift feel, but they give up the ghost right about at the limit of the stock connecting rods.
Does flying Miata still sell turbo kits for the N.A. Miata?
Still one of the only cars that compares to the S2000 in terms of fun factor on the road.
oh god.
i have a very stock 2001 NB2. This isn't helping.
How many miles did the car have on it when he added this turbo kit?
vq trumpet lullaby 😂
i live in that area. i have a 2002 e46 m3 i would let you review :) coilovers and some meaty tires. 6spd manual. 55k miles
Hit me up on instagram @thetopher2 would love to film it!
I love my NB to death and I can only see myself selling it to get an S2000, GR86 or second gen Boxster
good morning all o/
Hey, instilling mine and getting unable to lift my power steering up due to the air filer pipe. Did you run into this issue, if so how did you over come it? Thanks!
I didn't have an issue with that, if I remember with my IC piping I fed it through the power steering lines somehow. I had to weave it between a couple to make room
Would be great to know where the shift boot came from (not to ask a off kilter question). But looks nice
Shift boot I got off of eBay! I had an old video on it, I forget if I put a link in the description
Cool. Will look for it. I got the boot in my car from an eBay listing. It’s not bad but yours looks nicer. (Reason I asked )
Was interesting to see the pulls. Been a while since I’ve had my turbo car (had a stock and modified MSM in the past). but now ls2 msm. But are quite different.
Where's the 4k?
bro only doin 100 on m14? bro i be topping out the stock 1.8 all the time there lol
Been thinking about selling my fully loaded 2001 NB for a 2022 BRZ or WRX for a while now, but videos like this don't help with my decision.
@@chanmanthegreat1429 lol this whole comment is just like.. what??
whats the mpg like?
i would love to buy that🙁
How much boost?
how much was this car sold for?
How much would a build like this cost me?
Can It handle 240?
The bromance 🤌🏻
do a seating position set up

Seriously who sells an MX-5/Miata that well preserved and modified? Should've figured out a way to keep it and have both.... just like I was utterly stupid for letting my FB Series 2, bridgeported and Webber'd GSL RX7 go and kicking myself daily over it 😅
NOO BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO keep the MIATAAAAAA
This was my first car and to this day every manual Ive owned is so disappointing.
I LOVE my NB. Best car I have ever owned and nothing in the future will ever come close. I have had brand new cars that dont even do it for me. My new GTI has to sit outside because my NB gets the garage spot! :D I love her
My friend, try 90s Hondas. Civic, crx, integra, prelude, del sol etc. Honda does 5 speeds really well. I know what you're saying, you're chasing that very particular "click" into gear. I have a na Miata. And I've owned 3 5 speed Hondas from the 90s and driven others. Trust my judgment
@@tylerfabish5578 I owned a 2003 acura RSX type s and didnt feel nearly as good.
whoever is buying it is a lucky person :D
Curious. Why the tall shifter?
Helps on track a good amount, being close to the steering wheel. I also don't love short shifters, I prefer a modest throw length as it makes it slightly easier to get into gear.
@@pattyboi Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.
The Miata is not a daily driver. Nothing beats it for a summer weekend driving car though
Better off keeping this instead of swapping for GR86 (in hindsight)
I only have 100 in mine😅
