Great idea I don’t know how I haven’t thought of that sooner haha time to order some thank you!

Most of the time but sometimes it’s 240 ;)

Thank you Saul I hope you do!

Haha yup!

Awesome video.👍cant wait to see your channel grow and become more popular

Garage Moon Power!

Thank you for the kind words and good luck with your build. The wheels are Work Cr01s and the tires are Federal 595 RS!

@JimmyRigs_ what size though?

​@PurpMiat try watching the video he says. Put some effort in man.

what offset are you running?

@@JimmyRigs_ -32

Congrats on the 1st car! And I’d love to I hope they bring some sort of autocross event at the new track in Emmet!

@@JimmyRigs_ Oh yeah tha'd be legit!

Haha thank you I’m sure we will hit it someday!

Haha I’ll take it thank you!

It’s called GetJpn!

And who did the swap? There are some other things that can clean up that bay, it seems like a mix of jerry rig and proper Flyin' Miata 1.8 swap.

I did the swap when I was 16/17 and I prefer the term Jimmy rigged 😂 but yeah I agree I definitely need to take advantage of all the stuff I’ve learned since doing the swap way back then and clean it up.

Nice dude that’s when I started you can definitely do it best of luck with the build!

I’ve always thought it looks like an Apple mouse 😂

I touched on this in the video around 16:40 but id recommend function and form type 2 coil overs with a swift or 326 power spring upgrade. Good luck on the build!

Haha thanks maybe I’ll get it professionally painted the same color but with some clear over it so it won’t flake off

Thanks I appreciate! I will add a build cost breakdown video to my list of stuff to film!

I have a miata myself and i have also looked into most of the stuff he has done to it so here’s my take-not including the miata itself Rocket bunny kit i would like to say is around 2.5k-2.6k shipped? Not sure how much it cost today, i bought myself a 1.8 motorfor 1.6k, which sadly are going up even more since its harder to find them low milage, the ecu alone is 1.3k (for a megasquirt), the wheels…ah the wheels, i myself want to get some work meisters s1, but he has some work meister cr01s, but both alone, atleast for the miatas bolt pattern go for 1.6-1.7k shipped i wanna say, coilovers maybe are around 1-1.2k not sure about his brand but i know BCs go for that price, bucket seat maybe was around 5-700$, hardtops nowadays in good shape are 2k, racing beat headers are about 500$, exhaust is about the same maybe 600$, tires-i know the ones he has aren’t the best but the good for the price, maybe around 300 a set? I think that’s about all i remember him listing, so adding all that together i got 12.5k just on cosmetics and some minor upgrades. if he builds the motor and paints the car you can for sure add another 8-10k alone, turbo kits on miatas go for 2.5k new from flying miata alone, not including pistons and rods and whatver else he decides to upgrade, and a professional paintjob itself is 5k on a good deal. But for now i feel pretty confident saying he spent around 12-14k including the car, maybe a couple grand less since he built it before everything miata related went up in price

Haha thanks!

I use an A7Siii

I come out every once and a while most of the time I just don’t know about the meets that are happening haha

racing beat headers to manzo exhaust

I’d recommend learning a skill that has some sort of basis in the automotive industry and then grow connections from there to eventually get a job doing what you love. I hope that helps and good luck on your journey I know it can be scary trying to figure out how to navigate going into a career that you want to do for the rest of your life but you can definitely do it!

@@JimmyRigs_ theres gon be a need 4 speed.

I personally don’t like the way it looks with the top down but I’ll take it off for a future video if you guys want to see what it looks like 😂

@@JimmyRigs_ I would like to see that!

Thank you so much I hope you enjoy the future videos!

Best of luck with it I was in the same boat when I was younger just remember that anything is possible if you put enough time and effort towards it 😎👍🏽

@@JimmyRigs_ thanks so much

I’ll check it out thank you!

It’s all about preference, us 90s kids love these kind of cars .
