all that I have learned from this project mx5 series is, "we have taken something off the car, we must throw it to each other."
Love how dramatic the intro music is
Glad you took your time to break the clutch in lol
Anybody else who thought that the car was gonna break down when the "A few days later" part came? XD
FINALLY I HAVE WAITED FOR THIS DAY FOR SO LONG
lol me too
lol me too
Same
+Hen Rooster What are you talking about? They still need to tune it fully ;)
Same
I was meant too go too sleep, why you do this
Soz m9
*to *to
+Car Throttle Slamber m9?
+Car Throttle why did you upload so late?
+Razmalia Time zones.
The sights and sounds of that last scene...GATDAMN !!
I can't have you and MCM posting videos while I'm trying to finish my homework for Calc II 😂
Better watch ours then
better listen to him
Calc II? Damn I'm in pre calc
+Car Throttle savage
+Car Throttle lol
I will admit ive had a really bad week and even worse day, this video is starting to make me feel better
+Stance Works SR That's good to hear. Get laid and that'll be your week made!
A good thing to do when replacing or changing a clutch is to resurface the fly-wheel to prevent unnecessary wear and to help extend the life of the clutch.
Thanks for the little tid bit "bring whole drivetrain to running temp to assure the viscosity is right". Gentle wisdom is always appreciated.
MCM and Car Throttle uploading on the same day... Yeeeeesssss
Did Ethan get to use his new light for this?
Hey there!!
+Engineering Explained I just caught myself reading this in your tone of voice.
+TrueCanad1an In the Dracula voice?! 😂
Well naugh!
That Alex wildlife expert voice... I've literally cried :D
You guys have no idea how much fun I'm having following this build! Fantastic workmanship to your team! :D
''i have had worse things in my mouth'' Did not have to know that.
Gotta do dis to myn, although I already have an LSD :)
gingium when u doing generation battle
Noah Welch Yeah I'd love to, although I'd think I'd have a shop do it!
Crystal Bills Soon!
Just wondering did car throttle inspire you to get a mx-5 Miata
StInGrAy1020 Gaming Nope! Ive always wanted one, but its really awesome seeing another one built and I hope that Smurfette gets to be as fast as Phil
"I had worse things in my mouth" LOL!!!
Dick fluid
It´s time and time again amazing:
From the narrating voice you might get the impression that he is a knowledgeable, british gentleman.
And then he goes like "UH, UH, THROW IT!".
It´s just great :)
I love that you guys included the ending. I hate seeing a mod installing video then wait for a second video to see it working. Thnx for the upload!
I'm loving this build
13:46 close your eyes
Ahahahaha Gayy lmaoo
+Re Lol!
+Re GONE SEXUAL
+Re LMFAO
+Re (;
I've been following the build from the start and I've got to say, it's nice to see that miata really evolve over time.
"I had worse things in my mouth" - Alex 2016
Didn't bother machining the fly wheel? Looks like it had a few burn marks on it.
^^^ what he said. ^^^
+Stephen Ozoux Thought they were going to take the chance as they took off the flywheel to replace the bearing.
Even a good pass with some sand paper would have cut it. But I guess if they didn't do it must have had their reasons.
+Stephen Ozoux Didn't look like they broke the clutch in much either.
+Stephen Ozoux Also looks like they could've done with a new rear main seal as well. Quite a lot of oil residue on the gearbox
damn... the exhaust, it was soo shiny when they putted it on 😢
Kubz ye
+Kubz
*ted
+Kubz putted*
+BIRDMAN_IS_GOD13 Nope, PUT is correct.
+Daniel Hozak putted*
Awesome video guys!!
Love what you done with Phil.
"I've had worse things in my mouth"
What could be worse than that
He's a bumboy
I wonder how Alex funds his projects...
your car is on a lift, in case u haven't noticed, lower it down if u can't reach it, lol
Yes and then his friend is going to scalp his head.
His mate would hit his head
+Dante Frost he's friend is taller than him genius.
No car lifts have locking points and it’s unsafe for it not to be on the locks and there must not have been any locks in between
This guy is class!! Tbh i just subscribed last week and love these videos. Cant believe i didn't spot this channel before.
Alex the wildlife narrator. Great video once again, very informative. Keep it up. You guys are a great duo.
WHY NO RESURFACE THE FLYWHEEL????
I'm surprised you didn't machine that flywheel, it looked a bit buggered.
+Patrick Archibald I was wondering the same thing. Get a new stock one or machine that shit atleast. I mean come on, you have it all apart already, why not?
+miatamang The same reason they did everything else the way they did whit this car.
Half assed.
+miatamang I concur. Indeed....
x808drifter my thinking exactly. When it's apart, you do that. The old buggered flywheel will cause the new clutch to wear prematurely, and will shudder. And usually you'd fit a lightened flywheel when you upgrade the engine.
+x808drifter Thats the bummer part, by the time you get this far its not that much work to do it right. They didn't do a new rear main seal either, super cheap part.
I want see more phil, pls dont stop doing videos about this beautiful car.
Love your videos man! Keep 'em coming! :D
Should of done a rear main seal and machine the flywheel cause there's nothing worst then doing all that and having to do it again.
+petej222 Yep, all serviceable items should be done when down there, bearings seals and fluids, and you should always machine the fly wheel when doing the clutch especially if you've been having problems with your old one.
I bet in another 10 years he could easily run as a UK top gear host. He is already far better than any of their new guys, bleh.
Chris Harris is amazing
Sabine is an amazing driver and Chris Harris is too
+Acc0rd79 Kick everyone from the new top gear cast, except for Chris Harris and Sabine. Add Alex. Done.
That turbo sound now at the end of the video....epic.
Nice dance Alex. Just proves I will watch anything that has an mx5 in it. 😄
"now what? we gonna hit it with a hammer?"
-Alex Kersten
that is one cool ass intro music thing
That turbo spool at the end. Beautiful
the last minute video clip was glorious alex. More of that pls
Is there a list of the cost of all of this? I mean of all the mods and repairs you have done so far?
BTW. great video. One of the best series on CZcams.
"I had worse things in my mouth."
- Alex Kersten, 2016
Anyway, very nice video. It seems to make it look kind of easy but I think it is really time intense. Seems to be worth it though.
The amount of car on that rust was truly spectacular.
+Saúl Belchior No hate!
I just did a bunch of work on my car this weekend, his differential is so cute!
Isn't the clutch supposed to be broken in 400 miles before mad skids and pulls?
nah more like 10 000 kilometres clutches take forever to fully hold and wear in but in real life its more like what u said because everyone doesnt follow manufacturer recommended rules for after
He probably was in gear already before starting the skidding about.
He doesn't need the clutch to start skidding
I drove the new mx5 a couple of weeks back which had only 130 or so hp and it did fine in first gear
Why not resurface the flyweel while you're putting in a new clutch
glad to see Gareth repping South Africa lol Awe!
Awesome content Alex! Keep it up!
Honestly the whole time i didnt even watch the process
I was just staring at their muscles.
If I put LSD in my car, will it get high?
acid is better m8
.....
Amiel John F. Mercado ur car will be very happy
phil is gonna trip out man
Amiel John F. Mercado no
I'm supposed to be editing a commercial. But can't pull myself away from your videos. Love your work, and phillip is a lucky fellow.
Yes finally dude!!! So happy!
why didn't you resurface the flywheel?
+Nathan Smith (TheRgamer) and replace the rear main seal, which was visibly leaking. lol.
Haha omg i forgot that as well XDD oh well its hisfault if the clutch don't work one day
+Nathan Smith (TheRgamer) You don't know for sure, they don't show everything they do....
listen to 13:50 - 14:06 with your eyes closed.
actually to 14:08
+Nathan McNelis haha! 😂
Nathan McNelis lol
Great now my parents think I’m watching porn
Love the ending!
I was super hyped for this episode
Damn.... You also should get a lighter flywheel. Btw nice vid
#1 carguy name!! Garret 😜👌
It's Gareth
+Hanu Trivedi Obviously..👍🏼
I really like that vintage looking sealey tool chest! Great video guys.
OMG those turbo noises
Instead of standing on a battery, why not lower the lift a little bit? :P
+David F. So his mate didn't bump his head i suppose ;)
+David F. Because there is someone of normal height with him.
his Mazda us called Phil and his BMW M3 is called Collins
Phil Collins
Another great episode
THAT WAS EPIC! So awesome! Super Miata! it's now an MX-5
listen to what he says at 12:44
Not replacing the rear main crank seal.... Fail..
Not resurfacing or getting a new flywheel. Fail.....
+mike s Not completely pulling the axles before dropping the diff out also a fail... they made way more work for themselves.
+mike s IKR look at them hotspots.
I love the MX5 project!😊👍
damn it guys i have work in 5 hours and you post a video before i sleep. happy to see phil do some skids finally :D
Keep throwing things.. You won't always catch it...
+Luke Bagdan That'll be great for video!!
+Alex Kersten YES!
+Luke Bagdan Have fun explaining that to the doctor...
I like lsd
Hello Mr. Unicorn. how are you?
Excited to see it drift!
Alex: *licks oil* "I've had worst things in my mouth!"
Me: "I bet you have, you own a Miata!"
At this rate, this Miata is going to outrun anything.
Give it a few years
Why you doint just let the hydraulic ramp down a little bit ? Then your are not to small ^^ ?
+gigagames what about the other guy
Thumb drift has your car Alex!
them turbo swooshes at the end made my pants tight.
Great Video! :D
mind as well get a lighter flywheel
Working on cars is literally the perfect platform for sexual innuendos. And cussing. But that's another story...
So much for breaking the clutch in... ACT makes a damn good clutch though. Mine's actually a lighter pressure than stock and grabs much quicker, love it.
I the words of a famous automotive journalist...."bloody brilliant!"
I'm not gay but Phil is just hot
you forgot #nohomo
Gay
Where is Gareth from? What kind of accent is that?
South Africa
+Car Throttle really? where'd you find him? Just a friend of Alex's?
+Jay Bastawrose I think he's joking
+Jay Bastawrose Yea south africa
+Jay Bastawrose Definitely South Africa
Just discovered that my eunos came with a LSD from the factory. That's after 10 years of ownership. Funny how much more confidence it gives you just knowing it.
2 good looking beefy guys working on a miata
I think that the only reason he is short is because god made him like that for weight reduction.😂
Maxim Arnold who is god?
i came here because i saw LSD
That donut was awsome! I like this car:-)
That turbo at the end 😍
This is mad! I love it!! 😁👌🏻
1 milion subscriber, congratulations ❤️
I think Alex would be so good in BBC Top Gear. He is so funny guy and he makes Car Throttle so good. But yeah, I wouldnt like to not have him here. Keep up the good work!
Guys, you didn't remove those oil blemishes on the flywheel, at least you could have resurfaced that flywheel and changed the rear oil seal.
+Mr. Heineken They didn't replace the drop bearing either :(
uncreativename Forgot to mention that.... just a plain example of NOT how to do it.
Pretty pathetic actually :/ that's just common sense
Machine flywheel to remove hotspots (or lightened flywheel replacement)
Spiggot bearing, throw out bearing (what they are called in Australia)
If the rear main seal is original and not leaking at all then don't fix it as odd as it sounds. You can't get better than factory seals and only ever use genuine seals if you do need to replace it.
That's a badass MX-5! ...I miss mine
Oh god , mighty car mods and car throttle video's in the same day 😁😍😍😍😍
I knowwww
+Hugo Almeida Yeah and I was 5 miniuts from going leave youtube a rest and go to bed and BAM Wasaabi and then carthrottle haha
Alex is funniest car guy in the world..
I've got a Miata Torsen in my NA RX7 and it's great.
The wildlife narrator part really funny
