You're in!
The car DOES have an LSD, its just a shitty one. Get a better LSD or get an open diff and weld it? Mhhhhhhhh...
Gingium i think you should weld it
get an better lsd
Gingium if u weld it it will become a drift car
Gingium I love your videos
You SO need taped headlights
This is the first video I've ever watched from this guy, and let me just say it was the best video I've seen on youtube! No clickbait bullshit, he gets straight to the point and the video title is actually what the video entails the whole way through. Thank you so much for not wasting my time and providing me with good quality content. 10/10
BraithanatorGaming yhhhzxbs
BraithanatorGaming same here its always been on recomended but ive never watched it some reason
Yeah same. It's because it has a lifted miata in the thumbnail and has off roading in the title. But one day i thought fuck it i'll click on it and sure enough i wasn't disappointed
first vid i have watched bythis guy too, very entertaining, and i have some future plans.
This is dope as helll.
Yes
Jack? Good to see you here lol😂
You're doing more with the rally Miata (that you just finished), than TJ Hunt is drifting his drift car that he keeps tacking random crap onto
jack texeira isn't even finished and he's doing more
Slothzilla Yeah true sorry, point is that he's already proved the car can do what he built it to do. TJ is just tossing on some flares and making it highlighter yellow for no reason 😂
jack texeira Can i like this a hundred more times?😂😂😂
Oh man, that had me rollin! Tj isn't a bad dude he's just one of THOSE guys... I wouldn't doubt the first day he drifts it he hits a wall and turns that yellow into mellow.
It's a figure of speech idiot. He doesn't mean projects are literally never finished.
things it needs
1. Skid Plate
2. light bars instead of the round headlight (like the blue Miata)
3.lift kit (needs to sit higher)
4. hard top
5. maybe another light bar just bigger or kc lights
6.bash bars
7. winch (maybe?)
8. Racing harnesses
9. motor work
10. I can keep going but that's enough😂😂
keep up the good work love your vids especially these ones 🤘
Oh and welded diff
no racing harnesses if he didn't get a rollbar. if you flip whit harnesses you died. if you flip whit stock belt you can crouch
papiloran yeah fucktard its not giing to flip if he drives properly plus if he hits a wall dead
bruce 130013 you realize with how slow he's moving he's a lot more likely to roll on an incline than to hit a tree hard enough to send him flying right?
TexasDragon3907 no ues not he more likely to roll down a hill forwards and hit a tree normal seat belt dead
This miata is BAD ASS. You should get Doug DeMuro to do a review on it.
Brent yep
Brent doug doesn’t review modified cars
this is actually pretty impressive for a rwd car that was never even meant to go off road from the factory.
my 2 cents since every one is trying to tell you what to do with your car
1 air down the tires a little
2 add a adapter on your spare tire. that you can attach the flag too
3 tow hook upgrade (even if its a loop of chain replacing the stock tow hook)
4 keep having fun hopefully the first three suggestions will help you have a little more fun
and on a side note if you do anything on the rear end i would suggest a locker that way you dont lose drivability on the road
kenny didnt die I imagine it is hard to find a locker for a miata rear end lol
Nicholas Stiefbold maybe maybe not i dont know miata so i havent looked it up google is a strong tool
Is your YT name related to The Walking Dead games??? Also, the tires on it seem perfect, the rear springs seem a bit too stiff...
NoNamer12345 yeah but if he drops a few psi he will get a wider foot print as far as stiff the whole thing looks stiff to me lol and no its south park i quit watching the walking dead a long time ago
when a miata see's more mud then most jeeps..
Hhhhhhhhhhhhh
you have started something here! we all know you can get performance parts for miata's, now just need some suspension company to build off road suspension! cool!!!!
the little miata that could... go offroad?!!
You did it Gungium.. you made me love it. But maybe a welded diff is necessary.
twopowerful4u why the hell do you want a welded diff. a limited slip is what he needs
Gav Com He already has a LSD, but its crap
He'd need it welded for crawling but if he starts rallying it lsd is better.
Meanwhile theres guys out there with lifted 4wd trucks that don't ever see dirt. Also I now want to put a miata on a k5 chassis lol
DrunkOffJugg the k5's seem to always have a body swap
*has a wrx*rally build on miata
IImagine subaru is his daily
IImagine lmao fr.
And now he did it for real
Funny u say...
it acted like it needed more power lol. SUPERCHARGER.
I'd say more so the grip is an issue. it just needs bash bars so he's not worried about damaging it and can go in faster
are you going for a crawler style car or a wrc kind of rally car, I'm kinda confused
obviously crawler,have you ever seen a rally car that looks anything like that?
+Parkski gaming I dont even know
Lol
Parkski gaming crawler
He's going for a little of everything, just wants a fun car that can go where he wants it to
When are going to supercharg or turbocharg it? I´d love a supercharger!
Whenever I get the $$$
Gingium bra get a lift it whould make it get stuck once less
Selfmade Vines it has a 3 in lift on it
Kylin Weber he already lifted it a lot
Selfmade Vines turbo
U should put a snorkel on it
and exhaust out the bonnet.
Captain Zoll full KC lightbar and light pods
Captain Zoll im thinking zoomies
yes that would make it so much more better
snorkel ftw!!!
I was with him when he first started building the rally miata.I remember saying "How fricken far will he go with it?" Now it's looking so dope af
When you first started this project I wasn't happy at all because I thought it was really stupid. But it's actually pretty sweet. Props bro
the miata just looks bad ass
the miata beter then a jeep shame on you jeep
Shaking is mud on tires.... First time it happened to me paniced like hell, wheels were just packed with snow
Gingium I love these Miata vids... I also love your Forza vids... What if you did Forza here and Miata stuff on another channel ;)
People often underestimate 2wd. Us lifted Miata guys know how to party. Glad to have another one on board gettin dirty. :) keep it up
One thing you need to do is cut the wheel wells to give the tires more clearance. Skid plates for the underside are a necessity also.Remove the front section where the turn signals are and put a push bar with a skid plate on it so the front doesn't get stuck.
I really want to see a vid of you washing the car not gonna lie
blake5012 I wanted that so bad on this video
Many people here would like to see LS swap on that thing, but because it's off-road car why not Cummins like pistonhead productions?
xPertti hell yeah
Lightness is its advantage out there, higher ratio gears will be just as good for crawling but lighter.
xPertti a Cummins weighs WAY too much.
03canadianf5 not a problem in a tiny little Miata
Weight distribution negatively affecting traction. It would be a problem, especially without 4x4, the front would become an anchor in mud.
if you boost it, your wheels will just spin, really no point unless you want to get stuck some more
A bash plate, winch and a better diff ratio for crawling at high revs and that's an awesome little machine. Enjoying this series in a big way!
It's been 2 years, Holy shit! Feels like it was yesterday when i watched it the day it came out.
NEXT TIME PUT ONE Loop through another loop
well one thing I do know is they geared low enough for it that's for sure.
lift the front more!
I think it's awesome that you did this. I'd do the same if I was lucky enough to own a Miata; only I'd make it a AWD. Nice work.
This was such a cool video. So great to see a Miata do things it's not supposed to do. Well done, Caleb! Look forward to more Rally Miata videos. 👍
This guy can drive Manual really well. Not a single stall while offroading.
You must be north american to be that impressed
Paulo T Bet you drive an auto tranny if you even drive at all.
In Europe, only old farts drive auto. Nice try.
STUFFED CRUST PIZZA Zz Roasted
Auto just makes sense for off-roading, regardless of what country you are from. It's not even a matter of not stalling, it's a matter of transmission logetivity. There's a reason no professional off-roaders use manual transmission-and it's not because they're not expert at using them.
Put on a rol bar just in case, if you roll you won't be flat :P
Actually, this is a valid point. If this becomes a semi-regular thing, a roll bar could be more important than any other upgrade.
Travis Terrell true considering that on road cars don’t have as strong bodies as off-road vehicles and trucks if it rolls over it could’ve flat out called totaled
u shud put a snorkel on it will realy bring tha look to getha, lov it man soo cool👍🏻💪😀
and may b sum flears haha
Bro this thing is Boss asf. 😂. Never wouldve imagined a tiny lil miata slaying some off road courses good shit dude.
this is the single greatest thing ever. it's not rally, it's better
Why turbocharged when you can supercharged?
money
Aleksandar Petrov Because turbos > Superchargers.
JordPlaysGames not for offroad bud
Aleksandar Petrov why turbo or supercharger it when you can ls swap it
Because half the reason it's doing well is it doesn't weigh a lot (particularly over non-drive wheels). KLZE would be lighter than the B series it has, or... 13B all the things.
put a 6 rotor engine in your Miata
Gun Safe117 12 rotor
24 rotor
Gun Safe117 38 rotor
64 rotor
Zaki Bendaoud no
Dude where that 480p at my computer can't handle 720p
Christian that's pretty fucking sad.
RIP
same here :(
Christian how are you even capable of Internet access
One like = one prayer
You definitely need a metal undertray to cover everything inside the engine bay!
My friend and i went out in his lifted ford ranger once, he ended up hydrolocking his engine from the intake sucking in all the water and mud. and fried his alternator.
0:46
Jeep: You have grown well, young one! You will make me proud!
XD
heyman loove you "no homo"
next time lower the rear tire pressure it will help u alot
that only helps with rocks. Doesnt do much with mud
weld the diff and get a bash plate, maybe a body lift too
Lachlan Vandermeer body lift is useless. you'd screw up the motor mounts and gear shifter by having to move everything UP. useless
Lachlan Vandermeer can't add a body lift to a unibody car (no frame)
What a success story Gj caleb. 178 thousand subs later you have changed a lot but for the better.
Washing the car with pressure washer after all that is so satisfying. Wish you could record it. The satisfaction is real with that much dirt.
U need more power and more height (raise it more)
All wheel drive too
Puppy farts its not cheap to awd swap it and you'd have to custom fabricate everything
Vance Fischer yeah its about 40 thousand because engine remount tranny diffs cab remould everything
talking out your ass for 40 grand, closer to about 15 grand if you get a custom gearbox w/ transfer case built in
talking out your ass for 40 grand, closer to about 15 grand if you get a custom gearbox w/ transfer case built in
what are the odds that a 2wd truck IE 1500/F150 could have made it through
Mike Connor provably worse, I think the miata's light weight really helped make up for it being 2WD
Mike Connor it sucks having a heavy mudding truck I have a 00 ram1500 4wd w/5.9 and man let me tell you it sucks!!!
Creeperownr the extra weight of a truck would've been much better for traction
but lightness allows you to float over everything. You will sink in too much with a heavy truck.
William Snyder and also sinking
Make a vid cleaning it pls :)
i'm actually surprised in how good it did congrats hard work paid off can't wait for more
Your best video yet Caleb! I just thought of a cool video you could do too for FH3. Built or bought rally/off-road car! Like the bought car could be a rally fighter or something and then you build your own off-road car to compete with it. Think that would be tight
360p
Stephen Playz cuz it's still processing
people never learn do they
+Stephen Playz because it take the video a couple hours to render to the highest quality
Dude..where's 480p or 360p? Have not enough access to 1080.
its stuck on 60fps for me wtf either 720 or 1080 60fps.
When you play too much of "the crew", and get ideas to dirt spec a miata lmfao
109scooterman lmfao
Do some weight reduction 😰😰
he could probably take a few kilos off by washing it
Miska A if anything he needs to add some weight but to the rear for traction and get a welded diff and it would be a lot better
+1 finally someone in this comment section that knows something about offroading
THAT IS AWESOME ... !!! I loved every second of it... I was thinking of doing a lift to my stageII Audi TT 8N. It would be like an AllRoad version like the A4. Seriously dude, I had the biggest grin watching that video .. excellent work and looks so so much fun
Awosme the power that guive the little miata ! Great episode !
lol road and track wrote a nice lil article on this www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/videos/a32981/watch-this-rally-prepped-miata-tackle-an-off-road-course/
put a v12 in it
Enze Jansen this isnt forza XD
would you by any chance know what motor is in it right now?
Enze Jansen its a 1.6
Enze Jansen 🤔your one of those people who think you can buy a Ferrari V12 engine for $200 bucks then put into a tiny car. (You can't even swap a V12 in Forza).
i have never in my life played forza. it was a joke and i hoped people would understand, but i guess not
www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/videos/a32981/watch-this-rally-prepped-miata-tackle-an-off-road-course/ wew
I love it. This thing's basically a mini-prerunner.
FYI...If you have a strap with a female end, feed the strap thru your anchor point(control arm in ur case), then take the long part of your strap & feed it thru the female loop end.....lastly, pull out the slack. Basically your feeding one end of the strap thru the female loop end, witch is creating a loop of it self.
I think your car being so light weight keep you from getting stuck, as much as other vehicles. I'm new to the channel. but I had to sub you after seeing the styling of this car & you taking in four wheeling, this was awesome....a 2wd Miata with out a locking rear diff & you still tore up the trails!!! Bad Ass.
idk what to say about performance buts its cool that you off-road a miata first time seeing this. i enjoyed the video a lot.
Honestly my favourite video on the channel
6:35 when a Miata thinks that it can play with the big boys 😂😂
Well done! Kinda reminds me of Baja bug mods of the 60's and 70's...4x2 and light. More Power though there my son and some 1" coil spacers. And chop the front bumper...and carry a portable winch. Then just giver!
0:16 You're really tired because you're running on 5 hours of sleep... That's how much sleep I normally get for school god damnit 😂
im sure some one has already mentioned it but that is NOT a tow point, those are there for when the cars were originally shipped as trailer tie down points, dealers were supposed to remove them but almost none did, they will work but can bend things and thats never good, love the build!!!
Awesome video, the miata did so good for something it was never designed to do!
This is awesome to see Gingium! You've had the car for only a couple of weeks and are already off-roading it properly! Glad to see you using the car rather than just focusing on building it. Also, Im not too familiar with lifts but maybe look into getting more height on the front of the miata? May help when mobbing though the mud haha.
the Miata makes for a cute and at the same time mean off-roader it's amazing how well it kept up with the big boys
What....? No shots of cleaning it??? Very satisfying seeing a vehicle covered in mud into a perfectly clean car!
In the picture, I thought is was an RC car... great job man!
The lightness does justice, keep it up bro! Loving this series
the miata that rips. love the video
I saw this car today at Tyler wash as I was leaving. It looks good in person 👍🏻
You should pull off the front bumper and install a bash bar or something. and it needs a light bar. I feel that would make this thing really pop off
It did pretty well. You're lucky that thing is light on its feet and you have good tires.
this was so much fun to watch hahah weld up that bad boy!
Crazy!!!!You do a great job!!!keep it up!!!! I want see that more often!!!
One again Gingium, you need to get an aftermarket bumper and skid plate. I've offered to take a few pictures of what I have on my truck, does me wonderfully and has saved my radiator more then a few times.
Was not originally a fan of the rally Miata, but after seeing this really loving it, nice job!
This is so fun to watch but maybe make or get a plate to put under the car to protect it from the rocks and stuff and for Sure get a locked diff or weld it
Hey Caleb, it can get pretty expensive but you might want to checkout Flatout Suspension's rallycross coil-overs. It would give the car a lot more travel and articulation. Great build so far! I love these videos.
I've wanted to do this to a AWD talon for a while now, never thought some one would do it to a poor miata but its awesome great job!
Did you just move the lower strut mount up or what?
cool stuff man i saw ur miata on my way to work then ur vid popped up in my feed
I usually dont watch this guys videos but this was sick
Damn.. I know what I'm building next when my Toyota's done. AWD though, methinks, maybe harvest a subaru drivetrain.. or mount an ATV winch somewhere under the hood. I like how you think good sir! Obviously a gentleman and a scholar.
Ppl who dislike this... cmon.. much respect Caleb.
winch, bash bar, light bars, bigger lift kit.
You should do a full body cage! (But on the outside, like off-road trucks have)
holy shot this is the coolest thing ive ever seen hahha
The thought of cleaning that Miata is so satisfying
Thats cool, like a modern interpretation of the baja bug.
You went to the cliffs on route 6, thats awesome i live like 5 miles from there.
Hey man, if you don't have a shackle to attach the rope with, you can always pass the strap through the tow point, and then pass the slack through the working end. Can't do it for both ends but it will work for one.
I was waiting for you to wash it at the end of the video. That would have been so satisfying to see all the mud wash off.
Definitely some problems, but It was fun to see the beastly Miata out there :D
