I added the OEM trunk box (not the organizer, an actual box) to my ND soft top. They come factory on the RF but not on the normal soft top. No mods needed, fits right in and gives a home to the user manual, compressor kit and some cleanup supplies for the random bird dropping.
Subbed, Aug 9 2023. Looking at purchasing an RF. I believe I want a 2022. That year has telescoping steering wheel and recaros…(wanting a club with brembo and recaros) and I did notice back in 2022, the “build your own” section of the website had an option for alcantara bits including dash, door panels, shifter boot, and handbrake boot, all in matching alcantara to the recaro seats. I’m sure there’s a way to get them. But of course this puts me at nd2 which means no turbo or supercharging. But 2023 adding the handling computer that brakes on you while in a curve. Dunno if I’d like that feature. Comment back peeeps…I wanna buy once cry once, but piece together the best little weekend rip around car that ain’t full race but is all fun and games.
We don't really have much experience with the kph package, but if you plan to upgrade the car at some point anyway, there are many aftermarket brake kits out there that are just as good or better than the Brembos, and you can buy all those interior trim pieces separately if that's what you want. We've been very happy with earlier ND cars using our Turbo kit, which really makes them a better value than the newer cars. It all comes down to what is more important to you, and how much money you want to spend :)
What is this bump your timing? Are there any recommended guides to bump the timing and explain the pros and cons? How do I know if my miata is already bumped?
Basically either go to a shop and ask them to or rent/buy a timing light and learn how to time it (ignition timing) In regards to the NA, I believe they're stock with either 10 or 12 degrees before TDC when the spark fires. But by turning the cam angle sensor you can adjust the timing up and many people land on 14 degrees as a safe but noticable improvement (a few HP) the downside is that you run the risk of knock/ping if you don't up your fuel octane so if you bump your timing up you're gonna have to run 91/93 octane
@@michaelsaywhat6980 no idea. I believe y'all already have to run premium fuel so if guess not but a quick Google search should help you out. I've only seen it done on NAs
Maybe a little off topic but do you guys have a wheel alignment chart for NA. Like a wheel camber and toe numbers. Not stock but to make the car better with just adjustments for street. I would trust the specs you guys have over any other site. Thank guys
Very specific question here for ND1 owners like myself. We know the stock hp and tq specs, I’ve added the versatune and Borla axle back exhaust and I use 93 octane. Have I done enough to get to the nd2’s hp and tq? If not, what affordable thing can I do to get me over that hump?
If you want an engine with similar characteristics to an ND2, you can get most of the way there with cams like the ones from BBR. It's not easy or cheap, but that's how you get it to really breathe up top. The engines aren't dramatically different at the lower end, but it's when you start to really wind them out that the ND2 separates itself and that means cams.
@@FlyinMiataVideo I much prefer the characteristics of the nd1 I’m asking based on what I’ve installed, how much further have I got to go to get to the hp and tq of the nd2?
@@vhockada The characteristics are very much the same below 6000, with the ND2 having improved driveability due to the extra injection events. If you're just looking for peak power numbers, you're probably about 10 rwhp (peak) behind a stock ND2. You could try a midpipe and maybe a header, but you're just trying to match numbers and not actual performance. Don't concentrate on numbers, they'll just drive you crazy especially if you're not actually going to dyno test the car.

Aw, no one mentioned a wink mod for an NA?
