Gotta love it when Topher posts videos of himself driving a manual.
Same with posting videos of driving a miata
At what point does a spoiler become more likely to make the car fly away 😂
I’m dying 😂😂😂
Look up Peter Dumbreck Mercedes 1999 or Yannick Dalmas GT1 and you'll get your answer 💀
"Here's a wing, custom-made from a Boeing 747..." 😂
No downforce in the front just in the rear add 500whp in a 1700lb weight stripped miata and put it on the nurburgring it will fly
Nothing better than someone who loves their car and has modified it properly for whatever purpose they need
Proper setup. You can tell when he starts off with Xida coilovers. To anyone that is saying the wing is really big, Nine Lives Racing has some stuff on their site to prove the aerodynamic claims. You really cant beat a well setup miata for the money
💙
@@CGordini love the build dude! Good luck with your future racing :)
I want xidas or ohlins with the enkei rpf1s im getting but they’re just so expensive. Probably gonna go with BC, silver neomax, or tein flex. Not sure which one yet.
Absolutely LOVE Miata content!
The amount of times that I’ve seen this guy at my local meijer is crazy 😂😂
👀
Tiny Viper that could 😆
The crack from The waste gate between shifts is 👌👌
I thought about going for air recirculation so that the blow-off valve isn't quite as loud, but decided that I liked the sounds she makes, even if they're a little extra. 😉
@@CGordiniyou made the right decision!
Another weirdly coincidental video from Topher. Last time you posted a WRX the day I started shopping the WRX vs the Integra (landed on the Integra), and today I’m moving my NA6 to a place where I can finally start working on it after two years of owning it.
Huge spoiler for tiny Miata
Yeah, definitely overkill
It really isn't. Downforce is *great* when you're coming into a hard braking zone going 120.
@@CGordiniassuming the miata can reach 120😂
@@jusvibin2190crickets
@@jusvibin2190 I could reach 100 on the back straight of Mid-Ohio in the tired old 1.6. Now I have a bored out 1.8 with a turbocharger and 17psi boost. She gets up to 120 *shockingly* fast.
How big do you want your spoiler?
Him: Yes
NineLivesRacing doesn't mess around with wing sizes. They call themselves the #bigwanggang for a reason.
Miata is love. Miata is life
this thing rips
What a beauty 😍
Tallest dudes always seem to own miata's and MR2's 😅Sick build!
I thank @TheTopher for proving to me I could fit at all, back in 2016.
@CGordini I'm only 6'1 my mom told me I'd never fit but I got to sit in one and about a year later I got my miata. Very fun car
i hope to follow the same sorta path Cory's been taking; get through college (as i assume he did from the UMich sticker, based), build a car with any funds i get, and get accepted into bigger SCCA/GL events later on. this miata's absolutely mental
That's more or less exactly what I did; I actually started doing track days in the Mustang I bought using my internship money while I was still in college. But the Miata ended up being so much fun, I sold the Mustang!
kettering student?@@CGordini
@@CGordini ah that’s sick! I’m currently doing mech engineering at SFSU myself so hopefully I can find an internship I like and find events up here at places like Sonoma or Laguna seca! Hope the Miata takes u places man
@@vipermoon_ Nope, University of Michigan CompSci. :)
NOISE. YES.
from the cockpit view I can see why the owner can fit in miata with decent headroom, most of the height difference between the topher and him is in the legs, holy
Yeah, a lot of people are always amazed when I climb out of it; "you fit in that car"?!
Well, the seat is practically welded straight to the floor, and I COULD still go lower with a floor pan drop...
Awesome! Can’t wait to get the NA assembled with the forged engine. But, I am loving the 300 whp ND1 until the NA is finished.
Cool to see someone use Hankook RS-4's! Been considering them for a while, but still haven't bought them
Mans driving around a tiny plane sheesh that's a big ass wing
I love the forza class filter stickers 😂
When I heard you say "It has trouble with hot starts" I immediately thought "Oh it's gotta be on a megasquirt." And low and behold it is lol. I have the exact same issues with them
YUP. But the fun plot twist is I had issues BEFORE I swapped to a MS; I think something was weird with the battery. On top of everything else.
Great car and build!!! from this angle and sound, it looks like it drives like stock....plus 2x the power~
Heck yeah bro , turbo built miata brotha. For the win n I really dig shift light I might need to set one in mine as I thinking of doing springs n retainers finally after doing every other engine mod besides cams n springs I wanna see how it feel at 8600 rpm as 70lb dbl springs say u can do 9k but I run 30psi so I not pushing that hard .. Man I really do like how you got yours set up .. I went the rat rod route to be a clown on ppl but i deff appreciate a proper build bro .. Much respect peace n love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on ... L8z FAM
DANG THAT SPOILER
The spoiler is not approved by Jeza
damn that's a big ass wing
lov u bro
Well that's a wang if ever I've seen one damn
problem with hot starts? ( need to shim the starter, or heat wrap it , for sand the bushing inside the starter )
Gonna need your help with ours
Are you guys in Michigan?!!
The noise it makes brought me to tears
...Like in a good way?
@@CGordini yes
literally just seen this car at woodward yesterday, now im watching a video on it... weird
Yup, I was there Friday and Saturday!
More aero = more faster!
lots of very awkward silence
literally just watched "can a 6'4" guy fit in a miata" and this is recommended ahhahaha
Hahah 😂

Spoiler alert
Built motor, at 17 PSI only makes 230? 😔😔
Correct. I went with a very conservative tune, and the GT2560R isn't THAT big of a turbo.
I don't want to blow up another motor - I've already had enough Bad Experiences.
If I could do it all over again, I'd go with a Borg-Warner turbo and a Kraken kit, but I'm stuck with the FM kit and am doing the most of what I'm comfortable with.
17 PSI with a small turbo doesn't move as much air. Also, maybe the timing is conservative for reliability sake.
@@Addison0526 Exactly correct.
Topher goes mad: czcams.com/video/ijVl5AmaCKw/video.html

That spoiler is hideous.
Spoilers aren't for looks. They are for downforce.
Good thing it's not a spoiler, it's a wing.
@@XsaviXanderlol you can't just slap on a random spoiler and think it will improve the aerodynamics.
@@mediumTierGod Except it's built for the Miata? Have you even watched the video?
It’s a pretty awesome car! 💙🤍
You say that like someone who has driven it.
