No Bears were harmed in the making of this video
I'm disappointed there no bears at all
There is a set of those teddy bear wheels for sale. I want to buy them for my 82 Civic
Race against Dylan Sharpe
Peter@speed.academy
What is the name of the quick jack company?
Speed academy's budget builds are really different from my budget lol
was wondering what the "budget" was too lol
You should get Linus from Linustechtips, He knows how to drive stick. It would be fun to see a not really car person drive something like this around the track
Mike van Esch yes! I’d love to see that
I 3rd this
That'd be hilarious, and yes from me!
Holy shit, YES!
Big fan of Linus. Would love to see this!
Love this series guys!! Keep it up. Maybe when mine is ready we can face-off. HAHAHA Slowest wins
You bet! We'd love to have you up here to drive the car.
Guys, the car is asking for a rounded ducktail rear spoiler. Something out of ebay, cheap, in black, nothing fancy. Just to balance the aesthetics, front and back, I think it would look just right. I like the wheels, the front lip, the ride height... can't wait to see it ripping around the track! I'm so pumped!
Great work as always, loved the video.
Had a look but didnt see anything that would work well. Suggestions?
you just can't beat a konig/nankang wheel and tire package! best performance per dollar! also, i still can't believe Konig finally made a 15x10
*König
The "reasonably priced car" of the north :p and that wheel is BEAUTIFUL! 😍
Would love to see the savagegeese take this miata around a track
Make sure to tell him that!
My first thought when I opened the video was, "WHERE DO I GET THAT SHIRT?!"
WWF lol
Me too!
Thank you! I rocked a built Miata for 13 years and hated the 17" wheels that guys were using. I went with 225 tires because I was over 200whp and needed the traction, but your combo should be fun.
The description of the video is wrong. "205/50R15 Nankang AR-1 Tires" They are NS2-R
Those are really nice wheels on the car.
Get those Straight Pipes boys to come play!
I have the same tires on my car. They are really loud compared to Bridgestone RE002 that I had before. Also Nankangs are quite harsh and don't do good on worn asphalt or in wet (which is expected I guess these are not rain tires). Other than that they are good when you really lean on them, they last quite a while even with 180 treadwear.
The front-end of the NB is growing on me - it's got such a goofy face. Good call on not adding a bunch of crazy vents! Part of the charm of the Miata is its simplicity.
Agreed, the lip seems like a perfect addition.
About the fender rolling.
Those "stitch welds" are just spots where seam sealer pushed out of the joint. Get it out of there with a wire wheel and you'll get a clean fold
Love the wheel color!
@speedacademy oh finally the wheels..... I really like the konig freeform wheels and way to go on the lip it looks really good. I have to say that this has been on of my favorite builds just because of how simple you have kept it and the fact you are going to allow some other the enjoyment of driving the car.
Great to hear!
*König
Great job you guys did on that NB! Have fun with it!
Take off the front plate bracket. Love the wheels I’m glad you guys put proper fitment wheels in this miata.
Ontario still requires front plates so if they plan on driving it to TMP they need it
Winding Road/TheTopher collab? Need to come out and set a lap in this with you guys!
Aww man, I was hoping you'd be rocking the Ronal Bears like the thumbnail. oh well
2 commercials? Lol you can bet im never hitting that skip button. Dunno if that helps but anything for this channel✌️.
koniko169 I watch YT on my tv at home. It never shows ads mid-video. 👍
You bet it helps! Thanks for not skipping through em.
the older wheel was way more beautiful.. u guys r nuts. that miata was so great when stock
Nice! I just got some SSR Type C’s for my nb miata!
Love the wheel and tyre package, I think it will be great for the purpose. One note: Miatas do not have a lot of suspension travel and your coilovers do not have extended top hats. I would not go any lower and if you expierence a lot of bottoming out, raise the car or install extended top hats.
Thanks for the tip!
Looks pretty awesome! I love the wheel poke! Now let's see some track times lol
The stance and those wheels 👍
RIP Mr. Goose's inbox
Do you guys subscribe to the yellow/red dots on the sidewall which show the lightest and heaviest parts of the tire? Apparently you should alight the yellow dot with the valvestem?
If you take it lower and dirt drop gonna be a bad time hehe. My drift car is sitting up high if I want to mow some high grass
Lol Dave’s shirt was the real star of this episode
That really did come out awesome!
Thanks James!
what about blacking out the headlights?
would love to see goonzsquad give this a go!
I like to measure to top of wheel (not tire) to fender when setting up ride height, thats an easy repeatable measurement on all 4 corners. Getting the center of the wheel isn't really accurate since you're eyeballing the center of the wheel...
Hey, do you boys have a link for that front lip ? Thanks.
IMO if you put on a front lip, you should do the sides and back aswell, as it looks rather out of place otherwise
Sasha vs Jackie for sure!
I love these videos so much!
That shirt is amazing!
Looking good! I was really hoping to see the Bear rims on it...maybe if you do a VW Cabriolet some day you can find a set for that. Unfortunately that eBay lip will most likely deform in the middle at speeds above 80 mph and start trying to drag the ground. There just isnt any structure in it to keep it from flapping in the breeze. My buddy had one for one track session and promptly removed it. Good choice of tire, quite a few guys here in California are running those in street class.
They are very hard to find but would have been very cool indeed
Those rims are beautiful.
looks so good!
If find your lack of ronal teddiebears disturbing
@ 4:10 - But that's not really an asymetrical pattern, it appears the same on both sides - 1 half is just rotated another ~10 degrees on the casing.
Raise the height to have more weight transfer and make it more challenging for the drivers...
Kevin Burke. Obviously you need the hot shoe vs the young gun #87
What happened to "Running and Driving by the end of the video"??🤔
Looks like it will be a fun car to drive!👍
Can't wait for maybe a fan contest to let one of us record our lap time in it???!!! 😁
Why no video of roll bar install?
205 on 8s is faster than 225s on 8s anyway :)
Those are some nice looking wheels!
The ebay lip is the clincher for sure!
Put Sasha vs Jackie !!
I'd love to see Taylor Ray put your mx5 through its paces
Yes!!
Can ya do a ford lightning second gen next?
Lovely wheels!! Wish Konig made a size for my Fiesta ST.
*König
Let's say, wheel A weights 17lbs and wheel B weights 24lbs. Let's take for granted the tires on each wheel is the same weight/pressure. Is the difference will be noticiable?
Looks good but that front license plate mount needs to go but holes!
James Pumphrey from Donut Media 🙏🏼 Also love the t-shirt DP 😄
Jackie vs Emilio :)
I was excited that another set of 15x10s made it to the market.
Their 9.5 but I'm still tempted to run my 225/45s on those and it'll just be slightly more aggressive than my 6UL
225's are already kinda stretched on a x9.
@@ALMX5DP I've been running 225/45 on my 15x9 6ULs for years and at no point have they ever appeared stretched.....
Nicholas Wild may not appear too bad, but most tires in a 225 size are a bit short of being square on a 9. Just judging from my RS3, R1R, Rival and Hoosier A7s.
I got hyped for the bear wheels 😂😂
16×8 is the best size for a NB.
Would you guys happen to know if the NS-2R threadwear rating is just a new rating or is it a new compound?
An NB miata can fit correct offset 15x10 w/ just a flat fender roll, no flairs needed.
Really depends on tire size though.
@@ALMX5DP Fair point. That's with 245/40/15's
I need one of those shirts.
hey, when did you put the roll bar in?
You guys really need to work on the playlists. Both of the ones I watched were missing videos
Are you going to do an exhaust? If so i think that an isr circuit spec would look great
We werent planning on it but future episode will reveal all
how dare you click bait me with those Ronal Teddies
What’s going on with the Celica guys? Been way too long since a video on the best car you have 😀
Did he say 53.7 @ 6:15 ? I listened to it over a couple of times & it sounds like 53.7.
IntervalePC he definitely says it backwards. A bit of dislexia there DP? it’s pretty common, my daughter who’s is 6 writes her name backwards sometimes like this teiluJ
but her name is Juliet lol.
Your shirt is amazing lol 😂
Those Konigs are probably still heavier than my Mini R81s, but I doubt you could pack a 205 on a 5.5" wheel very well.
*Königs
Do you have a link for the lip?
GLTC driver vs Time attack driver. I'll love to drive against Jackie.
Has anybody the link on this front lip please ?
I’m not a fan of the music for the montage scenes... but the wheels look nice.
Cant win em all
I love the shirts
Who makes your music?
How do I sign up to come drive with the other youtubers?
Nice!!
Sweet, so now you're just about ready to invite Rhett and Link out for some fun?
Slam it ! Chassis scraping is racing
One thing im bummed you sold the m3 there should have been more done with that car to show progression in drifting skills etc
My opinion only
Good work men
i knew we were not gonna get the Ronal Urs.... :(
You say the bigger wheels have more rolling radius but the smaller wheels have more rolling resistance? No? They are wider
Wheres the bear wheels :(
dammit not againe! did i get clickbaited with a Photoshoped thumbnail 🥴
Eh, front lips sound good until you get them on the car with nothing else to complement it. Hopefully you can get something to balance the look out.
Like a graphics package?
I need that t shirt in 4-5x! Where can I get that?
Love the shirt lol
I really wanted to see those teddies tho
Today's engineering explained 3 pounds of wheel weight saving, and 1 inch shorter in height. Gives the car more low. Plus, taking the car lower with the adjustable coil-overs. Car does look great.
It’s all about sponsor build
Needs more duckbill.
Who’s kinda sad that they didn’t have the bear wheels😭😭😂
Same wheels as a hot wheels car. But looks good.
Get Lance Stroll in the miata
Wheels look great, now rip some tec with that thing😅
