Dude, I suuuuper love your NC content. I’ve watched everything on your channel with this car. When I get a NC one day, your car is going to be my blueprint build 100% 👍
Haha, small world! Saw you out there and meant to say hi, but was running around all day and never got the chance. I was the guy in the other Grey NC1 with aero. Watched a bunch of your videos on the 2.5 swap before doing mine. Sick to see your car in the flesh.
Awesome I saw you out there as well. How do you like that wilwood big brake kit? I am thinking to upgrade front brake calipers just not sure what to get yet
@@ZentRose The Wilwood BBK is killer! The kit on my car is the Keisler Automation kit. They sell the kit with calipers, lines, and adapter brackets. You supply the rotors and pads. Uses 12.7" RX8 sport rotors which are under $40 a piece on Rockauto haha. And the Superlite calipers they use are beefier than any of the other kits out there. Definitely would recommend, just make sure it clears your wheels first. They have a list of compatible wheels on their website. My car's running 17x10 Hypergrams and needed 5mm spacers to clear Oh and great vid! You were moving out there.
Wow, those are huge bars for your spring rate. How do you like them? Are you lifting a rear tire or getting weird oversteer behavior on bumps? I recommend the 27mm front and 16mm rear MAX for that rate. 25mm front and stock 11/12mm is also good but much less stiff.
Was very nearly out there that weekend. Would have been cool to bump into you. Nice driving. What car behavior drove your decision for the bigger rear sway bar?
Looks very balanced indeed. Perhaps even slightly too much on oversteer side, wouldn't you be a bit more confident with more stability? Great track for a miata too, letsb you carry momentum
hey man, what sway bars did you upgrade to and how did you set them? that looks like the perfect balance. i picked up a 2010 prht a few months ago and i want to take to the track soon, once i do my first track day i' m thinking of grabbing the meister r zetasports and maybe the progress sway bars.
Can literally afford any car... Drives a miata. There are lessons to be learned here... I am hoping that the mk4 MR2 comes out and is a good mid-engined base for this type of track work... If not.. I think an elise may be in my future. Currently have my v6 mr2... But I think it's too old to really modify 'cheaply' the lotus has great suspension by default and has a much higher tuning ceiling. Shout out to the check engine light!!!!
I gave up driving many more interestying cars around a track for an NC mx5, because it's just more fun in the MX5. I'm free to drive more intensely as i'm not worried about bending it, and its relative limits let you explore dynamics at lower speeds. You learn more about you, the car, the track that way. Plus, they're capable little things. On a small tight track, not much gets away from an NC 2.0
Absolutely mental saves there bro! Your driving is nuts!

Thanks man I appreciate it
ive never regretted owning an NC as a track car! its been fantastic

Great driving man. Would love another update on the build and what you have done to it.
Same.
Will do. The car sat for a while because I thought it needed a new engine (had a lot of blow by)
I was in the Civic! Nice, dude 😊
NC is my track weapon of choice!
Glad to see you back on track! Im going to Buttonwillow in March for MTTC. Hoping for a :55...
Also, what mic are you using to get the commentary?
55 is flying!
@@MitchelYardley I used a insta 360 with my motorcycle helmet bluetooth head set
Great driving and content!
Thanks brotha
Best upgrade to my NC (after the handling mods) was a bucket seat, you must do!!
Thanks, this is a daily driven car though so I just lowered the stock seat.
Thats pretty amazing that you can still do a commentary while driving quickly on a track!
Thanks Brotha
Best driver’s car ever
6:52 not many drivers are as comfortable letting the wheel spin like this, looks like you may have had some drifting experience? killer driving.
I just couldn't make the correction fast enough so I let go of the wheel lol
Been waiting for another Miata update, nice driving! Future plans?
I am trying to just keep driving this car regularly. It feels like it is in a really good spot right now
@ cool thanks for the reply, would love to see more track videos
I've got one of these, a '91, needs alot of work.
Hey! been following the nc build. are you still on the origional ohlins springs?
Yes original onlins. Just made some sway bar changes
Looks like a blast! I assume you still have the big hotchkis sway up front? What sway bar are you running in the rear?
progress solid 19mm rx8 bar

No lifting. Stable on bumps. These bars aren't big for the chassis.
Was very nearly out there that weekend. Would have been cool to bump into you. Nice driving. What car behavior drove your decision for the bigger rear sway bar?
Just certain corners where the car would plow, now I can lift off the throttle and it rotates beautifully
Looks very balanced indeed. Perhaps even slightly too much on oversteer side, wouldn't you be a bit more confident with more stability? Great track for a miata too, letsb you carry momentum
Yes it's gonna have high speed oversteer unless I add aero. I think it is more fun without aero (definitely not as fast as it could be though)

Hotchkis rx8 33mm front on softest & progress 19mm rx8 solid rear on stiffest. In hindsight I should have got the rx8 Hotchkis set.
