Jimmys "hidden dirty secret buy" doesn't surprise me at all, roadsters are the best seat time cars for most of us that are on a budget and can just add a few bolt-on's and a tune and be rewarded with smiles for miles. (relatable content) Just do the Oaks-Upgrade on it, suspension, wheels & tire fitment, turbo upgrade, exhaust, & a tune. I love that Spoon is getting so close, I'm digging those copper lines too dude. Need to see a little blurp of where Austin is at on his ride.
The best part about the Oakes garage is the diversity. So many of these automotive CZcamsrs are an echo chamber for what one person finds cool. Austins style is different than Jims style which is different from Spoons style but everyone gets equal respect and I love to see it. Keep it up you guys are killing it
I wish you understood just how excited I get when I see the ae86 show up in the videos, living vicariously through you when it comes to the ae86 and the porsche
Seeing the 86 done brung tears to my eyes reminiscing about the one my dad had back in the early 90’s with the full wood kit and steering wheel, full length wood rear view mirror, stereo equalizer with like 20 knobs and some clean ass baby supras. Thanks for the instant reminder of why I love cars.
I've owned a blazing yellow NB for four years now. Wildwood 4 pot calipers front and rear, jic magic coilovers, 15x8 rpf1 with falken rt660. Racing beat header, cobalt cat back, cobalt intake, mishi rad. Colour matched hard top with a carbon roof wing, yellow stitching yellow signature nardi wheel, chikra yellow checkered floor mats, act heavy duty clutch. It's seriously the best car ever. They only made 250 up in Canada where I am
The view around the shop is insane with the projects going on at one time, that is serious growth. A+ Obviously Jimmy deserves even way more views than he has but the quality is insane based on the projects which to my my mind makes it sustainable. I don't have the metrics but I bet all the views and subs are very consistent repeats. Doing it the right way Oakes garage, you deserve all the success. PLEASE keep it coming because this is the only channel I check in every day and instant click every new video across any social media.
As a 6’3” miata driver. Highly recommend a drop floor and bucket seat. Get a set of dustins knuckles. Extended lower ball joints. And just drive it. Youll never have more fun at a track.
Bro nbs are my favorite! They are also so perfect for a seat time car because of the short wheel base it speeds everything up so jumping back into other cars it is all slowed down! Love the car!!!! My new favorite!!
It's funny there's been so much talk about the NB Miata in my life right now I'm in the stance works discord and they were talking about it and then I saw a clip on reels talking about how the same person who designed the viper designed the NB Miata so it's like a miniature viper
I’ve had my NB for 7 years and I’ve been watching your channel for about that long as well, I’ve been itching for Miata content with Steph’s Miata/roadster and I’m so excited to see where this new car goes
There are a couple different things you can do to Miata's to make it tall people friendly. People cut out the seat mount humps and bolt the seatrails directly to the floor. However you probably have to also do the floor lowering mod. Nightstyle Miata's are some of the best.
Gotta love jimmy. Dude knows every little problem with each car he has that doesn’t make him want to drive it. “Maybe Make the s14 my summer car?” Yeah we can do that,gotta put power steering on that thing first
I would say visually leave it as is, technically its rare, its full boomer spec, so ultimate sleeper build, turbo it, full spoon custom manifold and exhaust and have it look really unique under the hood. Maybe change the seats up so you can fit in it as well 😂 Or rotary build and have it drive around with the RX7s
As a fellow NB owner I love it, amazing budget seat time car & a great starter drift or grip car. I think we definitely need some limited edition merch please....
I learned real quick to mark out your welds when you do stitch welds, take a piece of soap stone and something to measure and mark your start and stop of each stitch weld, you will be 10x happier in the end.
I can agree with the buddys, I am hyped to see what Spoon's car will look like. Can't wait to see the Video on this car. Love the content, the work and the love you Guys put in the cars. Much love to the whole OAKES TEAM, and greets from germany. ☺
Jimmy this is my last kept secret car 2 days later guys I bought another secret car 😂 Jimmy all jokes aside absolutely love the content and the cars and Miata Gang goes hard 👍 keep up the great work 👍
Even though you have 2 Porsches now and are out of the country 9 months out of the year....you still take the tike to tell us about stuff like the squat mounts that are not flashy etc but just work and help but require you to put in the effort. Same formula with so much of what I love about this channel.
i think i finally made up my mind on my favorite build on your channel... that 86 is so amazing, plus im a honda boy so it having a honda heartplant just checks all the boxes for me
I have owned/modded/raced every gen of Miata, including several NAs, NBs, NCs , NDs & Miatas get better with every gen. The NAs are cool cause popups, but NBs are superior in every way to NAs, NCs are slept on HARD, and NDs are the reincarnation of NAs - just modernized. There isn't a "bad generation" of Miatas. Anyone who says different hasn't driven one. If I buy another one anytime soon it will be a NC1 with the round openings - they look sick lowered w/ aggressive wheels. Fantastic cars. There are plenty of ways to fit in one as well - I am 6'2 & 200lbs. Kinda hoping it isn't a "seat time car" as you have a building full of cars gathering dust - so either leave this one alone of make it an autocross car or something different.
I most agree, but the early NBs and early NCs are the most lacklustre of the family. Its why i havent bought an ND, because i didnt want to end up with buys remorse if the later iterations were much better, following the trend
As a recent s chassis owner, who is doing a build just like you and Brian’s s13’s I’m so excited to see every bit of progress on these things. Spoons car is also dope as a turbo pandem 86 owner lol
The 86 is reaching actual perfection. Yes it's expensive but it could be a car more than the sum of its parts. The attention to detail is why this channel has my fandom
dude bolt a seat to the floor and you'll fit in the NB no problem! im 6'1 and run a PCI mount, i sit super low and fit with a helmet no problem. dont be ashamed of miata ownership. they are undeniably great
if i’m not mistaken, Mazda came out with 2 different yellow cars in 2002, the Blazing Yellow Mica and Vivid Yellow. the numbers for BYM are around 1500 and Vivid Yellow was around 600 or so
I have the NB1 SE. One thing that surprised me when I bought it, how much faster it was than a 1.6 NA. Like.. a lot faster. It doesn't have the charm of the NA though, I will give them that.
SPOON!!! Those copper lines are gorgeous brother! I absolutely love the look of copper. Especially when it’s super subtle. Look up the “copper caddy” by kindigit designs. The fender liners are copper. 😮
Out of all the projects, Spoons car is the one im most excited about.
highly anticipated
literally just said the same lol, been dying to see his all kitted up and painted i cant waittt
it's going to sound like a honda
Haha maybe but definitely wayyy better than an FA20 or any other boxer Subaru 4@@Justinhomii
@@Justinhomii wow no shit, the honda motor is going to sound like a honda.
James you should bring the 86 to the LZ invitational as a booth car
DJ let the cat out the bag🤣🤣🤣. And I was like That is Jimmy written all over it.
Easter eggs lol

Really thougth it was divine supra
Sonic the honda guy has divines supra
Damnnnn I was hoping Jimmy bought it
Same
Yeah if U watched Mikes channel, he states that it was Sonic that bought it.
Fell for the click bait
Thanks DJ for showing off this car a few days ago... :)

Middle-aged dad spec. You do have a kid now. 😅. Keep it like that I love it.
ive honestly been dying to see spoons car finished over any other cars at the moment
Same😢
as an NB owner, i'm stoked for NB content! last time we saw any was when you turbo'd Steph's
Jimmy Spoons car is going to be an absolute beast 👌 cant wait to see you guys shredding together Jimmy and Spoon Drift Team lets go ! 👍
I wish you understood just how excited I get when I see the ae86 show up in the videos, living vicariously through you when it comes to the ae86 and the porsche
+1 for "give it to Austin".
Damn, Spoon's car is coming out amazing! Seeing it on the ground has me hyped.

Wild that the yellow NB has the same headlight covers that Stephs had years ago back in the OG garage
Jimmy is the only CZcamsr I've been waiting on for a car giveaway!
Just got through watching Cleetus's video and now Jimmy drops a video!
This is going to be an awesome weekend!
Lets go!
Mullet is flying ain’t it
Watching in reverse just finished Jimmy's reading the comments then on to cleetus
Hell yeah brother!
Rudnick would love it

Already has the 6 speed, might as well build the engine to take 400HP.
Happy to help if you want to make it fast.
I’m 6’2” and I fit in my drift Miata just fine! Get a simple turbo kit on it. 10psi. Simple angle kit and coilovers.
As a 6’3” miata driver. Highly recommend a drop floor and bucket seat. Get a set of dustins knuckles. Extended lower ball joints. And just drive it. Youll never have more fun at a track.

It's not clickbait. We just put the shadow of a supra on the thumbnail
Reported
If you turn up your screen brightness, the Supra stands out clear as day 😅
Spoons car will be ready for sema show , too amazing to drift !!
PATREON gang! Let’s go! Welcome back boys

youtubers can't help but destroy 2nd hand market for used cars
I’ve had my NB for 7 years and I’ve been watching your channel for about that long as well, I’ve been itching for Miata content with Steph’s Miata/roadster and I’m so excited to see where this new car goes
Jimmy seems like a really good dude! Been watching you all since the beginning!
Got to agree with spoon on the mirrors, poor jimmys face dropped 😅😂
There are a couple different things you can do to Miata's to make it tall people friendly.

Nightstyle Miata's are some of the best.
THE 86 IS KILLING IT DAMN BOYS COMING WITH THAT 🔥 GREAT JOB!
I'm SOOOO STOKED for the Porarri! I never thought I could be so excited about a V8 swap in a Porche!
Jimmy they're is a seat drop lowering kit adds like two inch head room for a mx-5
Spoon dailying the Kswapped 14 is perfect. I'm certain he will figure out that damn drivetrain vibration and make the car fun :D
Welcome home! Happy to have you guys back on your projects!
I've got a facelift NB Angels Edition, absolutely love it! It's not fast by any means but ragging it around twisty B roads is pure bliss.
Welcome back family🔥
Gotta love jimmy. Dude knows every little problem with each car he has that doesn’t make him want to drive it. “Maybe Make the s14 my summer car?” Yeah we can do that,gotta put power steering on that thing first

Bens Used Miata Parts!
Taylor Ray's miata blew engines till he Al block LS swapped it but it truly is a simple seat time
Spoons car is so sick, can’t wait to see it rip. gotta put mid build motivation on a shirt lol

Beautiful NB congrats 🍾
Hell yeah im in the process of turboing my nb now 🤙🏻
The 86 is absolutely stunning!
So happy to see nbs getting some love
Spoon is one talented fella that car is so nasty! I love the pedal set up and lines “details”
Heck yes build the engine and boost it. Lotus exige or Elise seats will fit big Bois. Ryoku Rob seat brackets mount basically on the floor
We still need an mr2 guys
AW11 with a supercharger, none of the MK2 turbo ditch-finders..
@@owensparks5013just drive better lol 😂
Rj appreciation button ❤
Most people will see you have alot going on but you manage so well bro🙏
I used to own a Mazdaspeed Protege in Blazing Yellow. Such a great color!
i think i finally made up my mind on my favorite build on your channel... that 86 is so amazing, plus im a honda boy so it having a honda heartplant just checks all the boxes for me

Spoon is class
Love the nightstyle cars and seeing them drive finalbout gave me an extra kick to wanting to drift one of my miatas *or get an nb2*
I’m so glad you got a Miata. I drive a nb2 Miata aswell with an oem Tupperware kit
That blazing yellow is fantastic, I love it !
Jimmy and gang, y'all rock! Peace 🤘 ✌️
Jimmy for The Miata! Put a bucket seat in it, maybe you can fit in it properly! Just put your touch on it! Keep up the great work!
Love that 86 looks so good 😍😍
I'd love to see an S30 added to the fleet. With the right seat and mounts there is a ton of room for tall people
Fastback miata. I've had a few miatas, love them! Always wanted to do a fastback one.
The NB would be perfect for a rotary swap, a clean, simple, period correct deal
dude bolt a seat to the floor and you'll fit in the NB no problem! im 6'1 and run a PCI mount, i sit super low and fit with a helmet no problem.
dont be ashamed of miata ownership. they are undeniably great
if i’m not mistaken, Mazda came out with 2 different yellow cars in 2002, the Blazing Yellow Mica and Vivid Yellow. the numbers for BYM are around 1500 and Vivid Yellow was around 600 or so
Get (mode parfume) mirrors. Great compromise. Good pricing too.
Welcome back enjoy the content
86s are definitely on the list of cars to get
I have the NB1 SE. One thing that surprised me when I bought it, how much faster it was than a 1.6 NA. Like.. a lot faster. It doesn't have the charm of the NA though, I will give them that.
New nb is rad, good purchase all the way
MIATA
Miata is always the answer🤙😫🙌🏽
SPOON!!! Those copper lines are gorgeous brother! I absolutely love the look of copper. Especially when it’s super subtle. Look up the “copper caddy” by kindigit designs. The fender liners are copper. 😮
Yesss Miata is always the answer, would love to see it as a good seatime car
I just bought a miata too lfg!!!! Glad i got to see the rear spats before i bought them definitely get a rear lip instead
BCs, wheels, detail.
the yellow is dope. make it a mild auto cross build that you daily drive
They make drop floor pans for the driver seat and fit pretty wide seats the shoulder bolsters have to be thin tho
Equip 01’s same spec !! ✨👌🏽
that hoodie jimmy is wearing is awesome. I want it🔥🔥
NB Miata's (MX-5 where I'm from) are wicked!
Dang a special edition with just a clean simple build would be dope. Wheels coils and some nice little visual bits would hit
I love the NB, Theres one on Puerto Rico with a FD front and rear conversion. It looks like a convertible FD
