The first thing I grabbed as a kid was a set of car keys. Since then, a passion for these four-wheeled beasts has grown in me that continues to dictate my life decisions, both good and bad. Let me take you along with me in whatever I do in this hobby; life’s short so why not have some fun - who needs a savings anyways?

NB Miata Cobalt Radiator Cooling Panel Install!
Просмотров 342Год назад
Here’s a quick install on a Cobalt radiator cooling panel! Main purpose of this mod is to marginally increase airflow thru the radiator instead of allowing potential air to escape around/ in front of it. This in, conjunction with a hood vent, should definitely help with airflow and heat extraction. Feel free to let me know of any questions/ concerns and thank you for watching! Cobalt Radiator P...

Here’s a quick install on a Megan Racing Axle Back on the Miata! Decided to keep it simple and have some noise present without messing with any headers/ cat emission issues just in case.

NB Miata Gets New Konig Countergram Wheels!
Просмотров 2 тыс.Год назад
Here’s a VERY quick video on new Konig Countergram wheels for the NB! These are 15x8 25 in size wrapped with 205/50/15’s. Definitely needs more tire but for the first setup for the track, I’m willing to try em out! Initially ran 3mm spacers, which Goodwin Racing recommends is the max size for stock lugs, but felt sketched out enough to end up removing them. Let me know if you have any setup que...

NB Miata IRP Short Shifter Install!
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
Today’s video is on an install of the IRP shifter! May not be everyone’s forte, as throw isn’t typically reduced due to how amazing the stock Miata shifters can be with a simple rebuild. I prefer a tall shifter personally that shares similar height with the steering wheel. At $500, I would recommend spending money on more important bits: however, I see a big benefit in investing in driver-focus...

Today’s video is on a quick install on the 5XRaxing tow hooks! They were surprisingly the only ones I could find in anodized red readily available so went ahead with their purchase. Not only do they look great, they also function perfectly for track purposes as well as a more convenient tow strap location if you were ever stranded on the street as well. Bonus points for the SpinnyWhoosh TOW dec...

Today’s video is on finally installing some coilovers on the daily! Sadly FA’s are pretty over priced now but at the time, I scored a deal on them and knew they were quality so couldn’t say no. The spring rates, however, are pretty aggressive for daily usage, at 9k front, 11k rear - this actually makes the damn thing handle amazing though, turn in is awesome and stays very planted. I hope this ...

Today’s video is on rolling the thicky boi fenders/ quarters on the IS! Running aggressive 240 size wheels on it cause quite a bit rubs on the road. Altho the $40 roller didn’t last the whole rolling procedure, it did at least 2-3 other cars before me so I’d say money decently spent haha. Just be sure to take your time and heat up the panels well and you should be golden! Let me know of any com...

240SX and Miata Social Distancing Cruise!
what did you do with all the tan parts
With the new diff on, doesn't it give incorrect mph readings ?
Hi ! So how going ? I want to buy them and change the coil for stiffer one ( mx5 turbo build only for track ) ( second hand but new for 80 bucks, thats a deal ? )
Hey, how did you remove the stock plate?
Mine was originally a Florida car so never had one! But typically is a bracket you remove once you take the plate off.
Sorry to hear that Fortune Auto gave you guff------this is a warning to folks NOT to buy them. They're expensive and not all that great and clearly blames the customer. Get Bilsteins, or Silvers.
Was it difficult to remove the silencer?
That shit made it look mean af
Deffo loved it haha just a bit too bright at night 😂
You think about getting some revlimiter gauges? Would make an interesting install vid and they look amazing compared to the white gauges faces
If I’d kept it longer definitely would have! Loved the Euro style inverted ones or even the Ferrari style with one side that’s yellow lol.
What bov?
Running a bov delete!
Thank you so much for this!
Glad I could help!!
Hey, do you know anything about adding the rubber spring spacers on top of the coils for lift?
Why?
I was interested in lifting my fit, but I figured it out:)
How was your mileage and top end after this?
While I still had it, no significant change in mpg that I noticed and haven’t tested the top end much haha definitely more fun down low.
Great video! Also, the orange wire is for dimming, wire it in with your headlight fuse and it'll dim down when you turn on your headlights.
Wish I knew this! Now I do for the next install haha thanks!
Please what is that steering wheel?
It’s a Key!s Racing steering wheel from Japan! Check out the video before this one, I show how to install it and wiring as well.
hey man! i have the manzo catback which is basically the same thing as this and i agree it’s a little too loud and the drone is pretty bad too. i want to install a vibrant ultra quiet but i’m not sure if i should install it into the same spot you did or the long mid pipe the manzo came with. what do you think?
Hey man! Good choice on exhaust haha I definitely liked where I had it cause it looked OE style and didn’t have to mess with hangers and such at all but can do the same, was just the easiest option removing the axleback instead if messing with the rest haha
Got mine done today. Thanks! your video was very helpful! Also would like to say for an NB1 I was able to get my SRS Airbag light to go away with 1x 3.3 ohm resistor.
Suoer glad I was able to help! My main goal with these vids haha. And cool deal I appreciate the note! Hope you enjoy the new setup 🤘
That was very helpful. I am thinking of getting blue LEDs for my NB. Quick question, cause I have no idea. Is the dimmer for the gauge cluster (on the left side, I believe all NBs have it) still works? Or LEDs cannot be dimmer or brighter?
I appreciate you checking the video out, glad I could help! And yup I still had dimmer functionality with the LED’s, just had a few “hot spots” is all.
@@dapetdetective Cool! Thanks for the answer. I cannot stand bright lights in the car at night and I was worried I wouldn't be able to dim the LEDs. I will order the LEDs and on my next day off they will be installed. Thanks again!
Honestly thanks bro
hey what wheels are those
What are thoooooose! So the original ones were a “Spec Miata” D-Force wheels thru 5XRacing.
Did all this make it awkward to reach the blinkers?
At first it’s odd for sure but I got used to it pretty quick!
@@dapetdetective I have an airbag light on and I'm looking to do a quick release to get rid of the issue. I was wondering if I'm gonna have to take my hands off the steering wheel to reach the stalks. It looks like there is no middle ground with this issue.
@@mihaiserbanescu8676 honestly I just had to reach a tad more than comfortable but if you run no quick release or also a flatter wheel, no issues there!
@@dapetdetective I was thinking to get the NRG short boss kit. I hope that will bring it back a bit to OEM spec.
@@mihaiserbanescu8676 yeah that should work great and not much difference I’m sure
Is the frs seat smaller or tighter fitting then the Sparco ?
FRS seat was definitely tighter but more forgiving material than the Sparco for sure
Ur forgot the washer after the stock bushing 😮
Oh no! 😟 rip that washer✌️😔
Your shifter turret is a bit dry. You should have added transmission fluid to it during your install.
Thank you for making and posting this!!
Absolutely! I appreciate you watching! Hope I was able to help.
Hey man what is your instagram? the link is not working in the description
you should get 360 degree LEDs and there wont be an issue with the lit areas
Hola que tal va esa suspensión para el dia a dia? Que tal envejecen?
¡Hola! Perdón por responder tan tarde, espero que esto tenga sentido usando el traductor de Google. La suspensión ha resistido más de 5.000 millas y no tiene problemas con el ruido o el cambio de rigidez. Track Days, conducción diaria, muy cómoda y gran equilibrio.
@@dapetdetective gracias por contestar al final yo las compré también y van muy bien gracias
What do you click or hold to put the antenna down
Hearing that starter turn over, and the exhaust note that followed after 2-3 revs brought something outta me man. My Dad drove a 240sx for 19 some odd years, and I was old enough to remember the night he brought it home. Early 2000's were a trip, getting picked up from school in that car, then later that night going to the movie rental place, and then drifting the entire way back. It's a special kind feeling when you can look at a picture of the car, and you can just hear it turning over, sitting there idling afterwards. Only two times in my life I've ever seen my Dad dry was when his brother passed, and then when he was finally forced to sell his 240. So many wild memories, and an equal amount of broken engine parts, because damn did he drive it like he stole it. Yours sounds exactly like what used to wake up the neighborhood at five in the morning for so many years. Big of a Toyota guy as I am, the 240's got a special place in my heart. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Wow thoroughly enjoyed the TED talk! We really feel the nostalgia and just feels coming from a trip down memory lane there. Honestly, not the best for their exhaust now, but very prominent and also fairly turkey mortar for the side being a 2.4 ha ha plus the HKS. Definitely missed this car sometimes, even with the RB swap, although if I were to do it again, I will probably have just kept KA and went turbo. I’ll become a Toyota guy myself, but absolutely agree with you with the 240 having a special place!
Is your car lowered or is that stock? I’m trying to see how much clearance I’ll have
Definitely lowered on FM’s Track Pack VMAXX coilovers! Also running their recommended height as well with some light rake.
@@dapetdetective I appreciate the info and the video showing the before and after because I’m getting the exhaust to add noise but don’t want to make it too loud since I have neighbors that have kids .
@@wedlake9257 no problem man! I appreciate you watching. Also very cool of you to be considerate of other people for an exhaust haha
Might be a serious silly question, but when I go to the Sparco website and was to get these does it come with a set of 2 or literally just one seat?
All good! Usually it’s one seat sadly. These were $450 I think locally, with shipping may be a bit more online.
@@dapetdetective okay thank you and I’ve seen you mention how there’s a V1 and V2 of the seat, is the one that’s automatically available on the site the V2? I’ve seen ones online that are like leather looking and different from the ones you posted and some others posted.
@makaveliba4243 absolutely! So yeah V2’s should be the current ones available since it has the “updated” foam. Just double check part numbers. As far as materials go, V2’s can come in vinyl or leather options I believe!
how did you fit a clutch fan? i thought at least on my s13 they wont fit..
@@dapetdetective ah i see on the 13 im pretty sure ill have to trim my rad support a little
So the “after” portion showing your angle is using the grip hole and not the drift hole?
im see so many different degrees of angles from everyone with a rcc. from mega lock to not even more than rack spacers alone@@dapetdetective
@@driftingbrandonc.6480 I feel that haha all in the steering setup but overall should be similar cause tie rod length wise is mainly what will kept with the amount of steering unless you go extended control arms too. Also which position you utilize for the drift or grip setups.
How you changed the climate control ?
@@dapetdetectivehow did you change it to red ?
Thank you for making this video
It’s my pleasure! Hope I was able to help. Than you for watching!
I remember watching your 240 exhaust video when I had a s13, now here I am watching the miata exhaust video as I'm looking for a miata lol
Haha wow that’s awesome, I appreciate you watching and coming back man hahah good choice on a Miata, so much fun and fairly simple cars to work on!
What ohm resistance were those resistors you installed. 19:32
Been a while but if I remember right, should be 2 3.3 ohm resistors!
Noooooo
Yeeeeeeeeees!
i test a same oil pressure set up ,, in my NA miata and it worked fine. and after installing it in my turbo NB miata it dose not read anything just says 0.. any ideas?
Nice vid! Is this the 19mm or 21mm (sry i might have missed it in the vid)? How has it held up so far?
You’re good man! Sorry for late reply haha. I went with the 21nm, I believe the stock shifter size is 22 so it fit perfect. Has held up great, no issues besides occasional tightening up for noise. Also the rubber bit tore but was able to get a replacement thru DriftHQ.
How comfy are these?
I’ll be honest they were pretty stiff haha, but I believe there’s a V2 out now that’s a bit better.
How is shifter noise now? On mine increased 😢
Honestly hasn’t changed too much, there’s actually a hex bolt on the right side of the shifter base that you can tighten which helped my noise a lot whenever it starts to get noisier. Give it a shot!
How much torque for the center nut? I tried to find some figures but no luck. Installing my wheel in a few days. Thank you so much for explaining everything so well in your video love it 🙌🙌
Too much NVH honestly that would be kinda annoying
It’s actually not too bad once you get used to it’ but indeed redlining is annoying 😂
You gotta work on those rev matches other than that great video
I appreciate your input, thanks for watching! I personally thought my rev matches were great altho the one at the 12:53 mark was a bit rough haha.
Dang those look great, might get some for my Mr-s
Did the hardware and Allen wrench you used to install the steering wheel come with the hub or your wheel?
Hey, thanks for making this!
You’re absolutely welcome! If I could help one person, mission accomplished haha. I really appreciate you watching!
Look at Mr. Fancy... "I think these are 10's" *reaches for and finds 10mm socket* 😂😂 Great work Ace!
