Well, I thought you were doing it correctly, until the cut the tape. Lol. You should NOT cut the tape on the front of the spoiler. In fact, you should double down on it to reinforce it's strength. Then get rid of the tape on the rear, and use the front tape as a hinge to roll the spoiler forward. That will allow you to remove all the 3M tape covers, and then you can just roll the entire spoiler back perfectly into place, without all the anxiety of wondering if you are placing it correctly, because the tape will only allow it to go back into place perfectly. Think your projects through, and they will go better.
found myself in the miata modification rabbit hole since it has a slightly newer version of the engine i'm looking to swap into my car. hopefully i can get a good reference from your videos
The previous owner swapped them out from a Miata M I believe. BUT I think you can buy some online but I’m not sure where to point you on that one. Sorry!
Strut tower braces. I'm not saying they dont help, but the amount they help is very limited in a Miata. The front of the car so stiff already. depending on condition of the stock frame rails. if they are dented the over all best mod is some frame rails to reinforce the chassis, It blew my mind of how good they are. And if the chassis rails are not dented then thicker anti roll/sway bars. Next big on especially for the NA is a brake master cylinder brace. really improvers the brake feel. and as a bonus the brass shifter bushing. to me those are the best engagement point that you "feel" the car through. and when it feels nice to drive you want to do other things, like body, power and other upgrades. any way good vid
Those are also great suggestions! I did the brass shifter bushing and I totally forgot that I did that a long time ago. I would’ve added that to the list.
If you want to get technical it DOES put drag in the form of downforce. And the look of the car is just as important as anything else in my book or else I wouldn’t have painted the car :) not a waste of time in my eyes.
@@helpmeboonmee To each his own. I like the colour but I wouldn't want to add additions to the bodywork like splitters, spoilers and wings without understanding their handling implications. The MX5 is a mightily able handling car and the main reason I drive one. But everyone's needs are different. As long as you have fun and get out of the car what you want, I suppose that's all that matters..
i sear i saw this car near south towne mall last week... Matt are you near Sandy/Draper area ? great job on the wings and masterful handling of that large black caulk 😂
Everything is still holding on! Just make sure all the surfaces are prepped properly and screw into the pre existing holes. But then again, if anything falls off, it was a cheap eBay part right? Haha
@@helpmeboonmee That's what I like about this solution so much, I want a loud fun exhaust but I was going to compromise and buy a middle of the road exhaust because I don't want it too loud all the time. This is a great option for what I want!
first, I need a Miata/Mx-5; then once that is acquired, I'll consider these 11 things. so, mission #1, "get miata". 🏁 the one thing you need (and maybe it's next) is shark teeth. make it look mean and ppl will move out of your way 😬 (a bunch of vinyl triangles) 🔻🔺🔻
It isn’t OEM but it came with the hard top. You can also buy the moulding. It’s called a hardtop seal and i think it’s for sale on moss Miata or flying Miata
Nice car, I love the paint. Do you think its better to have a drop in filter for 280zx, or cold air intake? I don't mind if it removes stock intake, because I can just reinstall it.
Thanks! I appreciate it. I say do a cold air snorkel intake IF you are actually getting cold air. If it's just a cone filter, I think you can get the same power from a performance air filter. The cone filter just allows more air and that can be achieved by the box filters as well. Hopefully that helps!
Nice DIY intake intake here! The back to back 0-60 runs were a good comparison. People will of course ask for dyno numbers, but not everyone has access to a dyno shop, time, and the associated cost. Good job!
Nice mods! Strut tower braces don't seem to be as popular with Miatas vs other cars like Hondas. Awesome to hear that it makes a noticeable difference even paired with a roll-bar. BTW, how do you like that wireless lavalier microphone?
It is honestly one of the most noticeable mods I’ve made for the chassis and it has made a huge impact on the handling. Highly suggest it. The lav mic makes it soooo much easier and I don’t have to worry about the wire or the transmitter. Only issue is it’s a little pricey. If it’s in the budget, go for it!
They’re great! No water leaking in, which I had problems with before. If you don’t do some sort of waterproofing, they’ll get water in them guaranteed. I went through 3 sets of these before waterproofing and now they’re great.
The roof has had no issues. I did mention that I would put caulking on the rear spoiler and since then, I have. I would highly suggest caulking all of those parts but they’re holding up great!
I mean I’m biased and love my M2C and I’ve also never driven the Supra. BUT I assume they’re very similar. I’ve heard that some enjoy the Supra over the M2 but I like the way the M2 looks more and it’s has a really good platform for performance upgrades. I guess it really comes down to how long you can stand kids saying your Supra is a BMW 😂 but I say M2C all the way.
@@chrisginoc the only time that I’ve heard it being an issue is when people have tuned their cars further than stock. I haven’t seen or heard of anyone having issues when stock but we could probably make the same argument for the B58 once it’s tuned. I don’t plan on tuning anytime soon but if I’m comparing both cars stock I would get the M2
If it were me I would definitely choose M2 over the Miata. Mainly because it can do basically everything a Miata can do, while the Miata can’t do everything an M2 can do. I also don’t even plan on putting a turbo on my Miata anytime soon because there’s so much that has to be added to get close to the performance of the M2. I say get an M2 if you can and keep the Miata as a fun slow car.
@@mariusbrinzaru8137 just in drivability. It takes a lot for a Miata to get what the M2 has. It’s also got a lot more comfort and more room for growth in performance in general.
Sorry about that! I forgot to record it and I actually found that my fuse box is actually from a NB Miata. It would be confusing for most. Hopefully you can use google and figure it out how that sits.
I could easily save up and buy one of these but thanks to the emissions law in London U.k,I would have to add £4500 a year to drive it every day.(£12.50 per day).Such a shame.
@@Drew-The-Philosopher...no, ride a motorcycle. plenty of 250cc super motard bikes that would dust the miata and be just a fun w/o going huge. even the 125cc Honda Grom would give plenty of smiles per mile (up to 55 mph).
