When I lived in Culver City, owning a ND1 RF Club was the best decision I ever made. Weekly trips to Mulholland to just clear the mind increased my mental health by leaps and bounds. Is it perfect? No.
Was it perfect for me? Yes.
Another banger from Tedward!
Yes, driving MX-5 should be prescribed as an antidepressant. Nothing gives such endorphins boost even within speed limit 😊
I'm in culver. I'm the one with the meatballs on the side.
Fellow ND1 owner here. Suspension, tires, braided brake lines ans an exhaust are all you need. I've been daily driving mine ever since I've picked it up brand new in 2017. 112.000 km later I really never wanna part from it ever!
I love how Topher just hangs out in your drives
im in his GT3 video today =)
It's lovely how effortlessly you can take those turns.
I drive one an yeah completely shock is an awesome car to drive. The 180hp feel like a lot more
@@Sam-gl5vk Well 180 isn't the worst thing with a small chassis like that. Anything past 300 on these little things feels like a death trap 😂
No the chassis can take it. Watch Matt Farah's video on the LS3 swapped ND miata. He says it doesn't feel scary/overwhelming at all and that the miata's balance is still mantained@@Perry....
My mom had an ND2 RF. Redline was 7.5k and the intake noise was perfect. The stock exhaust volume and tone was perfect. She was driving it as a daily and complained that it was too noisy and too cramped and had manual seats smh. That’s literally what a Miata is. She got rid of it which I was really sad about
Welp, this just made my day. My 2 favorite POV drivers, in a modified ND, on Mullholland. #heaven
Even my base 2018 Miata is such an incredible car to drive at any speed, I’d love to get my hands on this one though! You hit the nail on the head when you said “connected”, which is the perfect description of driving a Miata. And you picked the perfect road! When I was 13 I got taken for a high speed run through Mulholland in a 1972 Lotus Elan that I still remember vividly.
It makes me happy to know that Mazda continues to remember what is important in this formula over the years.
Small roadster with high revving engine. The ND1 is amazing. The ND2 is even more so. It's one of the few cars in this world where you can drive your Friends supercar Lambo or Ferrari then get back into your Miata and STILL SMILE
That exhaust sounds really good!
Sounds like the Goodwin Racing Roadster Race exhaust
The more I watch these videos the more I love my ND. Even though I have the 1.5L I find it just fast enough to have the best fun I can have. I can just trash it anywhere, it sounds great and I'm always under 7 liters of fuel per 100km! It's not incredibly fast but it feels like it because of the revs and the sound. I love this car.
100% agree, you might like my videos 😊
MIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATAAAAAAAAAA
10:06 So you're telling me there's some random guy who lives in heaven on earth?
Those roads look great! I’m yet to have a drive in a ND but love my NA and NB. It’s a pitty more manufactures don’t try to compete with Mazda. Would be cool to have more affordable rear wheel drive lightweight sports cars around.
No other manufacturer can beat Mazda at their own game.
Daihatsu copen gr sport
E85 tuned ND1 are amazing. Love mine. Recently installed headers and I'm waiting for the tune file from Fab9
This is the one of the best POV drives I’ve seen on YT in a long time. I’ve never not had a good time while driving a Miata. Excellent platforms for the money.👌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Welp, this video inspired me to check Autotempest for an ND, and here I am two days later with a 2016 Club. Look what you’ve done!! 🤬. In all seriousness, love your videos and keep on drivin’ !
ND1s have come down in price a lot lately. I have been considering it.
May have to add an ND1 to go with my NB1 one now. People don't understand how fun a 2300lb car can be.
Your video and Topher's convinced me to get Ohlins Road and Track for my ND2. They're sitting next to me and I'm so excited!!!
That looked like you were both enjoying that run. That is the fun bit about small cars with great handling. They love the twisty roads.
The best 😊. All this needs is my induction sound mod. I have some videos showing how.
Hi Tedward. I own an ND2 Miata that I love and I’ve always wanted to try and do a canyon run like this but I’m afraid of binning the car because I have basically no performance driving experience. Do you have any tips on how to start, to kind of gain those skills and confidence?
Autocross is a great and inexpensive start. You can also find some local HPDE track days to get some instruction
@@TedwardDrives thanks for the quick reply!! I want to do an HPDE day with my car but I can’t bring myself to cut up the interior to put in a roll bar :) autocross has come up before as an idea and I think I’d love to try it out. Thanks!
@@evanb09 I second the autocross recommendation. Also, keep in mind you can always just not go fast, and work your way up as you get more comfortable.
what are you waiting for, just go for it!
only go as fast as you're comfortable
Definitely look for a local autocross. My first event , I shaved 10 seconds between my first and fifth lap. If performance driving resonates with you at all, you'll be hooked. You'll also learn a ton, and have a great time doing so.
I love Tedward/Topher crossovers. You two should start a channel together like ThrottleHouse but in your own style.
Lol @ the initial attempt to put it into first! My ND isn’t always happy going into first either
Man, this makes me want to cut outta here and head to the canyons! I have a near 140k mile E91 manual and this road is calling. I'm in Agoura... it's literally calling for me.
I fell in love with this car from watching the IMSA mx-5 cup. Seeing how it also grips on the streets its amazing. Great video!
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
I am so damn obsessed of my ND2 it hasn’t been 24 hours and I’m legit feening to get behind the wheel
lol it's definitely not gonna keep up with a gt3, I love Miatas though
How would you say this compares to the S2000. Can the S2K still hang?
What a car!
Awesome video as usual. Had the same 2018 ND1 with the red top. Got it when the ND2 was announced and Mazda offered a $4000 incentive plus I got E-plan pricing. Very fun car and I really miss it. Considering picking up an ND2 now but it looks like 2024 will be an ND3 before the NE happens in 2026.
Excited for your thoughts and comparisons on all these fun cars!
Nice video man! I own a MX5 ND red soul, 1.5 it always makes my day when the weather is good. At low speed (max 100km/h) it's even more fun than a 997 and a boxster 718... The good things are the reliability, handling, the sound, power is okay, low maintenance costs, taxes are affordable and it's timeless. Cons: It's dangerous in wet/snowy icy roads...
No its not - very much depends of the tires
If you really want to learn to drive well, this is exactly what you want. Throw some high-end coilover shocks on a Miata and go track it. Too much power gets in the way of learning how to be a good driver. There is a reason so many Indy and Formula drivers come from carting. Miatas are so much fun and do everything properly.
That car looks like a DREAM to drive in those canyons with those turns 🔥
Wow, now that's some seriously awesome canyon driving! I'm curious to know is the Miata the answer on that canyon cruise over the Type R, GR86 and SI? If so, then maybe I gotta get a Miata!
Just pick the miata you can’t go wrong
Lol of course those car do not come close u can spend millions on a car n it will never deliver what u get in a lotus elise/exige, miata, air cooled 911. There too lightweight n small, supercars are way bigger n weigh alot more, more then 50% more weight.
@Sideways Singh this comment is very helpful to me. You clearly have more insight on this topic than me and I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me. Those cars you just mentioned are my next TH-cam deep dives! Cheers my friend.
Tedward, I’m a bit surprised you DON’T own a Miata! They are very easy, and inexpensive (relatively speaking) to own…
I've long said a set of quality coilovers and some better rubber completely moves the ND1/ND2 up a performance class. The cars are so held back from the factory, more so than the 86 twins and other similar vehicles.
although I sadly don’t own a miata, I do have a 79’ MGB with a supercharger and some engine refining so that it puts out barely over 120 hp, and by weighing less than a ton, it does feel and look like a 70’s miata in a way. you should try it if you manage to find one in decent shape and form! twisty roads are always a blast with it😄😄
blackpink in your area... i was actually looking to get a bp or red velvet plate for my rf
I drive these roads to work in Malibu every single day and absolutely need to find myself a decent Miata
I have an ND2 RF 2.0 with ohlins. How did you regulate your ohlins? I am 7 front and 11 rear. I love it
Hello, if you don't mind....what brand phone holder magnet is that on the dash board? thank you
LOVE it when people opt for the Topher option!
I can’t imagine not checking that box
Do I smell a miata being added to the stable? caw caw
Damn! Those roads are incredible! I'd kill for something like that in CT!
Connecticut has great roads lol
@@tyhyhh not around me in Hartford county.
@@Krazy_Shorts Move out of Fartford then.
@@Krazy_Shorts I'm in the northwest corner, head on 44 east. The back roads in Litchfield County and Berkshire county MA are great.
It's so much fun those little japanese cars
Which should I get an ND2 MX5 or a 2023 Civic Si?
if you don't need the practicality (or safety) of the civic, the ND2 is amazing
Are you still running E85? Any complications along the way?
Its like listening to 2 of the same guys, you have so similar voices :D
Man I miss CA canyons but not the politics.
To get a second car and spend another $500 a month for a car is the question 😅
a Miata never fails to get a smile on your face🥰
Tom, you're gonna make me buy a Miata!
This is my dream car, I live for the Miata.
Lackluster 6500 rpm redline is boring on this gen
It's a bit higher but 6000 is where max power's made so no need to go further. The only benefit to that is it effectively shortens your gears providing the ND1 perfect sports car gearing-giving credence to Tedward's comment about its gearing.
It's 7400 rpm with the E85 tune. Makes power until 7k
What exhaust set up is on that miata. It sounds really good
Best show miata, track miata and now youtube miata
Best Motoring is fun to watch.
Looks like another road I'll have to seek out next time I am in Cali. I got to explore some nice Bay Area roads last time, in a rental 911 no less, and it was a fabulous time. There is no substitute for some good mountain driving.
Great to watch!👍 The sound of this manual car is a music for ears.
Given the road you are on,this is the girl.
Just before I got my license I got big into sim racing, the iRacing ND1 cup has "ruined" my taste in cars. lightweight convertible and targa roadsters like this are the purest form of a driver's car. Had 3 cars so far, a 95' del sol, a '97 Z3 and currently a '01 ZZW30. Each more fun than the next.
I like that you clap your feet before getting in, something I also do.
I don't know another car more enjoyable on a canyon road than a Miata. A Porsche can be faster but in a relation between enjoyment and money obviously the Miata is the owner of the mornings of your weekends. And how It sounds!! ♥️♥️. Good video!! 😉👍🏼👍🏼
P.D:. May be another japanese....it's called MR2....🤣🤣🤣
Could you share the exhaust upgrades?
I live near a bunch of canyon roads in the Rockies and have always dreamed of having a fun car for them. My uncle's NC miata is honestly just... boring. But this? I could get behind this. Sounds like I need to research ND Miata exhausts/tuning.
It's so sad, the Verus is diffusor is not legal here in Germany... I once missed the time, when there was a slight chance to drive it legally over here... but now, no chance. Also Tomei Exhaust... not legal here or the single piped Invidia system... Damn regulations
Besides that, great video 💘
Tedward, come drive my ND2 around Boston. Our “canyon” drives are ditching potholes.
Where did the owner get the Recaro seats? Those weren’t available on ND1 in the United States, and when they came for ND2, it was only the RF that got the option.
TE's looking nice, but that is almost on every car 😂👌
Even though it clearly sees full use from its owner, this is a good example. 2018 which means it has the red soft top. Plus best exhaust & aero diffuser combo. Engine tune, seats, and suspension are good.
Something in me didn't like the sound of "NE". It's namely the letter E that worries me.
Best video of the year!
that looks too much fun!
TEDWARD, WE NEED A GR86 or 22/23 BRZ REVIEW! Please give it to us
My cousin and one of my good friends both have Z3 roadsters right now, and I adore them. However, while the little go-kart noises from a Miata are nothing compared to the screams of those BMW 6-cylinders, the Miata feels so wonderful in a way that a car with a larger engine simply cannot manage.
One day, a brand-new Miata will be all mine. One day.
just purchased my first car. basically this exact spec but it's stock. I'm so happy.
Please don't forget, this car is not stock. It's like a night and day experience..
Omg i drive a simular road every week, but I get scared to accelerate my Mx-5 like that…maybe it’s just practice
i had my nd since 2016 and theres no other car for me, bolt ons with a depowered steering rack makes for a proper drivers car
Well i think i need to roadtrip my MINI to these roads... eventually :')
Does anyone know where this trails is? And if they're any other trails like this in California
Always turn esp off when you go in a Miata …. It’s my ritual
Claps his shoes before getting into another man's ride. My kinda dude
I NEED a 2007 Subaru WRX STI on this channel!
Driving this car looks like the visual equivalent of achieving Nirvana.
What exhaust is this? Sounds great! Sounds like the Goodwin Race
This makes me miss driving my BRZ down the tail of the dragon
Please more mx-5 nd video 🙂 now im selling my bmw for buying nd😀
I’m melting 🫠
I thought e85 is only practical on boosted motors?
Omg, amazing tune
One of my favorite motoring experiences was the week I Turo’d a 2019 Miata RF in LA. What a blast to drive in the mountains!
Is that a stock exhaust?
can't wait for true road rally's to return; sanctioned road racing.
What is the circle nub under the screen, is that a phone magnet?
i absolutely love hearing my favorite car youtubers gush over the car i have :))
damn you abuse it before it is ready for it man- wait for that temp haha
It was warm bud.
I'm too tall to fit in Miatas, but gosh they seem like so much fun. Would love to drive an ND so much 🥲
Makes my miss my tuned ND1 RF on E85.
