Love that. Safety is number 8 priority.
Im coming to get my car turbo'd with you guys when I can afford it lmao
Great tips - nice simple video format, but really informative. Keep them coming.
Only thing you really need is
1. Brake pads and racing brake fluid
Everything else is optional ,
Coilovers, seat, harness, headers, tune, comes latter once you can really exploit your stock setup.
My NC MX5 was tracked until 176K mi with original cooling system , ECU , no oil cooler in California 65F to 100F + outside temp. Just drive and learn 👍
I'd do an alignment just one step ahead of brake pads ;)
Agreed, I see not evidence of these cars being susceptible to overheating. I was out for 20 minutes straight today in 21 degree outside temp, coolant temps were rock solid all day. Not sure cooling is necessary.
Great video,dude!
Great video and very helpful..
So good to see an MX5 that looks like it’s been driven on UK roads, (rusty like my Roadster)
Just found this video and great tips I am on my 3 track day soon and am in the middle of that list so I'm glad to know I'm doing right thanks for making me feel good and that I'm comfortable with my car and the money is going to wards the right items specially if pushing r32s out the way at castle combe 😏 just a small hint from recent phone call to you guys 📞🤙
Thank you for intelligent and thoughtful advice, respect
I appreciate that
Great stuff and a good list! I would add a short shifter, engine and dif bushes, chassis bars and hardtop when it comes to fully dedicated track cars. What I thought off to add to my car is a light for the oil pressure gauge to ensure I easy and rapidly see a low pressure signal :)
Some excellent suggestions! They would have been great additions to the 5+ track days list
Great vid love it
Glad you enjoyed
For me what lacked: shorter final drive, wider 15 wheels with 225/45 or more extreem 245/45 track tires (i went for used slicks since even used its much better than a semislick). And if u think the tracks u go its worth it, go for the 6 speed gearbox with even shorter gearbox

A HANS device is absolutely necessary if you're going to run a race harness. 5 or 6 point harnesses only, never a 4 point.
I really appreciated this video. But hey I'll tell you man, I drive a fwd Tsx but I use thisbinfo to apply to my car. Only thing is that I saw a pic of the intake over the manifold. You lose soo much power like that. I know space may be limited but if you can build an insulated box around that and connect a tube to it. The car would be way more snappier and faster. I did it and it works excellent.
What about bracing? Strut braces, underbody chassis braces, etc. Any good?
Surprised you didn't mention coolant reroute, remarkably cheap way of keeping temps low and essentially returning the engine to stock cooling design.
Good call!
What year cars do you recommend? I don’t have a car yet. Thanks.
Choose 1.6 or 1.8 and then buy on condition, then spec. Year doesn't matter

Ive seen 1.6 n/a miatas with the 6 speed, lsd,and shorter final drive, faster in track than turbo miatas. The gearbox spec is as important as the engine
The car should always be able to out drive you. In other words, you should never be pushing any part or portion of the car beyond what you and it can handle. If you are, you need to address that aspect before moving on.

That oil cooler is ghetto as hell
Skip a few steps and buy an Eunos S - Special.
Step # over 9000! - K20 swap
Ooft the dream! Keep that between us 🤐
Or step over 8000 and a K24 instead ;-)
Total nonsense. The first one absolute must upgrade are decent coilovers and the best there are are Meister R.
