i love how since 2:40, miata gives yellow signal lights, to share or inform the danger of the curve or entrance. that pilot can drive like that meanwhile changing lights in real time.... amazing chase
might've bumped the stick up or down while trying to change from brights,it happened to me multiple times while trying to be a bit of a hooligan,not that uncommon
Wow i just learned about this channel and I love it already. Just the engine sounds and the camera angle makes it so much better than other car race channels with like 30 cams all along the road and drones, and the camera just keeps changing and you can't see what's happening, this is soooo much better. Keep it up and stay safe 🔥❤️
The headlight etiquette on display here is common in the United Kingdom, as a lot of our main roads require this switch to see if anyone’s around the corner.
Is this just if your full beams are too bright or do you reckon it should always be done for every corner? I find I should be able to tell if there's a car there if it's pitch black at night even with my full beams on, but maybe it's a good precaution to dip the lights for a second anyway.
This was incredible run. I would really advise a spotter though at whatever end of the road you are racing to though. It would decrease the risk so much and would allow the lead driver to not be so occupied with watching for head lights.
Love your content, gives me project d vibes, the time attack, the cat and mouse, the touge, its really authentic content, can't even call it content, it's something different
So fun to watch, really gets my heart rate up! Sitting in my garage with my E46 staring at me while watching this, time to go for a hoon! Also love that the road has a curb at 4:40, definitely meant to be driven! Keep up the great work, you have a good formula here.
Awesome content, appreciate the monologue too! The NC guy has some guts pushing it knowing how awful that stock suspensions are lol Keep posting contents like this, stay safe, remember your 7/10!
@@mechtech104 NC had to be lifted from factory because of some pedestrian safety shit. Put it on coilovers or even mazdaspeed (eibach springs) with rx-8 anti-roll bars and Its a different animal.
U guys are better drivers than u think. I think the miata would be a little better if they had less role but otherwise that was great! Love to see more! GL and stay safe!
Always good to be a better driver than you think you are. All the drivers that thought they were better than they actually were are in the graveyard. Gotta stay humble.
Definitely a great example of what tires and suspension for this type of driving can do to help a car since it's 100tw vs a usual summer 300tw but glad to see someone going for it anyways given the disadvantage Also 167hp for the NC not 158hp
@@zalcan3620 I see what's happened. The US-spec NC1 had the higher power from the start, but in other markets like Europe and Australia they were 158 until NC2. Contemporary US reviews of the 2006 NC1 refer to it as being 170hp. Strangely, they DID raise the red line by 500 when they did the forged internals, and the power peak for the NC2 (7000) is higher than the NC1 red line (6800). This all feels like Mandela Effect to me because I distinctly remember Jason Cammisa raving about how much difference the new cams made for NC2.
@JETZcorp the redline on the NC1 was listed as 500 shorter but having owned a NC1 and tracked it I can tell you stock it would hit fuel cut or its rev limit at well past redline towards 7500. The engines were always able to do it but the internals being stronger probably made them comfortable with raising the redline on the NC2. Also ya I'm guessing for other markets maybe the cats cut some more of the power out, especially towards the headers since swapping those out is one of the best ways to get power out of these engines. Also keep in mind the USDM cars never had the 1.8L models
@@zalcan3620 For what it's worth, my NC2 shows a 7200 red line on the tach but fuel cut is out at 7700. The official Mazda line on the forged internals is they did it for lower NVH.
Wow the way ur car grips that road and handles is amazing a very well balanced car well done bro that Miata driver did well too knowing the road is a huge advantage
Nice run😎wish we had more of these roads in the uk. Ours are very different, there are plenty of good ones but markings are rarely as good though. The most important thing about following for me is never follow the car, follow the road and have the car as a rough guide. I’ve seen too many times where the leading car messes up and the following car does exactly the same thing as they are treating the lead car as the road!
I recently installed 300tw tires (Conti ECS02) on my NC, and frankly the grip is face-melting. It's fine in a very smooth corner, but it takes nothing to get the bump stops in on the action. Seeing just how much more grip you had vs a very well-driven example of my car... it's terrifying. Looking forward to getting suspension to end some of this body roll madness. But, since I'm one of the 3 or 4 American touge enthusiasts who ISN'T in California (gasp), I'll have to spend some money on Blizzaks first, which should temporarily solve the issue of excessive G-forces.
It's a pleasure to watch your videos. It is a pity that the racing sport is not developed on mountain slopes =) Одно наслаждение смотреть ваши видео. Жаль что гоночный вид спорта не развит на горных трассах =)
Touge is superior to cutting up traffic, but to be fair to those guys they are doing what they can with the cards they've been given (namely NYC, hardly any touge scene out there to write home about.)
Another great vid mate👏🏻 That MX5 had some pace for sure even for stock suspension. Are you sure they were PS4S? Those look like 17s or 18s wheels and PS4S on 18s are almost new, difficult to find and bit expensive yet. Normal PS4 (or new PS5) is what you usually find on those sizes.
@@maxmucha8207 well ofc a quiet area low traffic ect. And curves is a must lol, also if your route runs through the woods to be wary of wildlife and you want to know all the spots that you can run off in case something goes wrong. My run is actually through a suburb lmao, Not exactly the safest but if you run through there at midnight or later nobody’s out and no one is awake
@@revloxe36 wow, impressive gear and it must probably also be quite the challenge to mount such a big camera in the car. Do you use software stabilisation on your videos? They always seem extremely smooth apart from some very bumpy spots with some shifting of the footage which looks like a similar effect I get when software stabilising videos in video editing programs.
@@yannicg I just clamp the camera to my harness bar. Then add another arm from the top of the camera (hot shoe) to the ceiling. Helps to have a stripped car. The a7siii has inbody stabilization. Though great for hand held gitters it's actually what is causing the occasional warble in the footage.
That miata is tuned accordingly for a mountain pass. This is how illegal street racing should be. Not some straight line with abnoxious and unnecesary speed with stupid boats that even can't turn. With stupid drivers that can't even control their cars.
@@TheCorington really? Like no suspension setup or aftermarket wheels and tires? If so, driver mod really goes hard. Props to both tho. Great drive along the mountains.
@@jhonnalbisa8422 yeah, that's a stock nc on stock 16 wheels. Not sure if those are aftermarket tires, I don't know them personally. It's mentioned in the video
I also like driving fast but on the nürburgring if you use both lanes it's just stupid. You may be able to see a car light but not a scooter light which is just too dim. Just stupid
Did tou strip your e36? How much they weight on an average? My e46 coupe m54b30 aluminium block weights 1400kg, which acceptable but on the heavier side. I guess 1200kg e36 would be noticeably nimblier.
A stock E36 328i weights around 50kg less than an E46 328i, so the difference is very minimal, to reach 1200kg in a 6cil E36 you have to strip it and loose a lot of weight with bucket seats and lightweight parts (hood,wheels,exhaust,rear trunk at least)
@@Iakovjp yeah, im familiar with stripping the car. Ive got a 800kg honda without ac/powersteering/light parts etc. But making it that much lighter inevitably makes it less comfortable. Even so I was curious how much you could shave off on a bmw since everything in this car is heavier.
@@SzymonKasperczyk Imho you can delete 80kg from an E36 pretty easily. Oem seats weights a lot (bit less then the electric e46 ones but still much, maybe 50 kg both the manual ones), the rear bench seat can be removed in 10 minutes and it weights around 20-25kg. You can throw out another 20kg deleting the spare tire and trunk bits, than lighter wheels, exhaust, and maybe battery. You're gonna end up with a around 1300kg car
