Don't sleep on the 10th anniversary blue one - it's got a Torsen, the 6-speed, it came on Michelin Pilot Sports from factory and the engine has better pistons, flywheel and conrods (supposed to be the RS grade Japan got). It's got some of the later chassis bracing, the paint is unique, got bilsteins, and it does come with the factory tupperware bodykit. I believe the 6-speed on it is special or the Torsen, it's some weird ratio, or maybe not the gearbox but at least the LSD is a 3.9 or something. I think US market regular sixes are 3.6 instead of 4.1 like the rest of the world? Or maybe that's just Australia.
i dont think any USA cars got the 3.6 from factory, could be wrong but I think thats an AUS only deal. you can order the 3.6 ring gear from mazda still though.
Do you have a link to any more info on this? I just bought a 10AE and have never heard of the RS Grade before. Curious if the internals are any stronger or better, or any other differences.
@@zgSH4DOWNot everyone wants to modify a car, and not everyone lives in the same country as you, with the same insurance policies. Why wouldnt you want a limited edition with very good spec?

That 9k one is perfect. It's not hard to find oem seats which will come with the rails already on them. I would add a non-airbag seatbelt though so its not just harnesses. So long as your head isnt taller than the seats, you're fine. You can just keep the comfy seats in and switch to buckets if youre going to the track. I know "mods don't add value" but those are pretty desirable and tasteful mods imo. If you already want to go to the track you don't have to spent $$$ on sourcing wheels, tires, rollbar, and safety equipment. Plus the aftermarket head unit looks nice and prolly adds bluetooth, backup cam, and maps. Huge plus in a car with no space to put your phone. Plus its a vvti model with the 5 speed and LSD, second best nb spec after the mazdaspeed. Plus the custom gauge cluster is cool and I'd wouldnt spend the $140 on it myself. I think 9k is very reasonable. Perfect balance between street/track car.

Nice to see the video came before my 30th ask😂 big thanks to you feed and the gang nice to see you're listening to your community! I can now KMS knowing I succeeded in life🎉
I was lucky enough to snag a 10th anniversary Miata for $1500 last year because the owner let it sit in a barn for 7 years. I put $3500 into it restoring it back to original and it was appraised for $12,500 and it's not even finished yet. It's been a blast to drive!
I'm just repeating what I was informed of based on the current market value. If you wanna be a dickhead about it, go ahead. Get over yourself my guy. @@eldeguello9573
I think the NC prices are polarising. The NC1 are supercheap, even cheaper than NBs. It's probably the value option of all miatas, although they do have some problems. While a good example of NC2 or NC3 is almost an early ND's price
I have an 07 Grand Touring NC1. Bought it with 45k on it. She has 130k now. I'm religious with routine maintenance, but otherwise, I abuse the car. I live in rural Iowa. Empty 2 lanes. I pound on her every time I take her out. She needed front wheel bearings @ 60k and has been otherwise flawless. If I ever blow it up, a 2.5 swap is just a few grand. ... Buy an NC1. Biggest bargain on the market by a mile.
I gotta keep it a buck, but my back prefers bucket seats over factory seats. I'm with feed on this one. I'd daily the shit out of the sorta track focused NB. Can drive to the track, do a couple of laps, and drive back home in comfort. Ripping out your carpet is the worst mod you can do, right after scraping out the sound deadening. It just looks more complete really
Nutqueer made a cheerleader joke. Just living up to his name and reputation lol😂. Anyways, the NB version is a looker for sho. I may be alone with this next opinion of mine but whatever. I'm not a fan of the NA! It's ugly and just for clout. Give me a like if you think I'm right or if you think Nutqueer hangs out with dirty Mike and the boys in random Bajas'
netgears wrong on the trackish miata. It's not all or nothing when it comes to these dailyable track toys. Yes you can have double dins, AC, and a spongebob air freshener and still be in compliance with a track, have your fun and drive back home with your AC and tunes. (as bad as NB AC is). As someone who seemed to be more aware than this, I'm a little dissapointed. In fact, ripping out carpets and stereo is far more annoying if you're trying to sell.
You missed the point, I'm saying that doing track oriented mods on a street car is dumb. A street car will never be a track car, unless you completely make it a track car.
@@carfriendsimulator9981 There's probably a lot more cars that see track use on track days than there are competition built shells that see races. Nothing says that you need to strip your car naked to take it on a track, just that you need the minimum requirements. That's how you end up with cars like this that can easily be and do both. Or simply have just enough to make it on the track and also not horrible to go home in by still including all aforementioned amenities left in the vehicle. spongebob air freshener not withstanding.
@@carfriendsimulator9981 lets play devils advocate. Since collector car feed likes untouched cars. A car that still has all it's interior + track enabling modifications is world's closer to being a full street car again than a stripped out track car that you have to hunt down all interior pieces and creature comforts for again to try and fail putting back together again.
@Car Friend Simulator I think the point is that the Miata is special precisely BECAUSE it is capable of bridging the gap between a legitimately competent car on track, and something that's livable as a daily. ...For very little money. So, I agree. Doing track mods to a street car is dumb. Unless it's a Miata.
Man, I'm so glad I stumbled on your guys' channel. Its rare these days I come across car enthusiasts with tastes and opinions I actually agree with. Hope u guys blow up more 👌👌
NB is absolutely the sweet spot of all Miatas. Still related to the NA, simple, but with thoughtful additions. Anyone who says the NC is better is smoking crack.
Bro the car is cool but that title😭😭😭no way bro wrote "touge machine" its a 180 hp miata bro. All you're gonna feel is roll. I love the roll. That's why I own an nc. The roll and the compliance is part of the experience. But it aint a canyon carver💀💀
The problem is the stock seats sit super high up and basically runs anyone over 5'8" into the top. The "foamectomy" doesn't do nearly enough for most average or above average height men. So you're mostly stuck with racing bucket seats that aren't compatable with the 3 point belt. If you have some money to spend you can get Lotus Elise or Elise rep seats. But then those are uncomfortable and unsupportive. Personally I just take my chances with the roll bar, racing bucket, and 5 points.
The reason the NB looks good and the NC looks gross is because they coincided w/ the RX's of their time. The NB was meant to share styling cues of the FD RX-7 and the NC with the RX-8.
i picked up a 10th anniversary for 4k the other day and it’s so nice 161k very nice interior with a/c but bad paint. i’ve put about 1k miles on it in a week and it’s very nice
People say Miata's are "the answer to everything," but all I ever hear is how they are slow. I'm 6 feet tall, too, and double I would be comfortable in one. Also, I live in Ohio so why the hell would I want a convertible? Seems like a bad idea all around. Zoom zoom my ass.
@@TwoDollarGararge lol, good to know. I've been thinking about buying a C5 corvette, but then I always hear about how they're not very big on the inside.
that rant about the roll bar was a little hard to listen to. i don’t think they understand that if a miata rolls over without one you’ll literally be crushed that’s why the roll bar is one of the the most essential mod people do on these cars
18:02 not seeing runae’s response was a gut punch to be honest 😂😂😂 Like a clif hanger that has the nerve to never finish but lmao I suggest showing and doing little bs like that as you guys roll through it thought it was hysterical
Just recently bought a 10th anniversary for $700 from my buddy. Its in rough shape but looking at how much people want for these things... I'm starting to think I got a good deal. Nice vid, keep em coming!
Wouldn't you say the most strongest thing to do is not give a care about what other people think and do what you want? I never passed up a good car based on a stereotype. That seems like weakness to me.
Bruh, the nc looks like you don't need fender flares to run wider tires... my opinion. That roll bar one could be a weekend track and canyon car, a toy. Roll bar helps if you flip the car? What are you guys smoking? Lmao 🤣 😂
Yeah just bought a 2002 SE with 230k miles, pretty fun car. I know SEs will fetch 12 to 15k low miles wise so I thought 6k was a fair deal with a (mostly) unmolested Miata with no rust.
I'm not lying when I tell you that Taintsville is not far from Longwood in central Florida. Look it up.

Looked it up. The man is telling the truth.

Slammed Miata's I see driving around me all the time.. and I know they're coping from dreams of roaching out 240's but could never obtain it
With how “rare” everyone keeps saying their nb was I’m starting to think NB owners are just corvette owners except they’re too poor to own a corvette

"Miata is always the answer" is a lot like dating a trap it sounds like a good idea until you gotta get into one.
