DK's sense of motion is almost super human! he can really drift almost anything on his first attempt. I remember teaching him the basics back in the day, makes me proud how far he has come today.
turn on the translater thing and read what the guy say's about the handling lol! He apparently say's (according to youtube translate) "this thing needs a terrorist to post a letter to a light bulb and ask for a sandwich"
The stock suspension and short wheelbase on the NC makes it butt clenchingly scary to get to opposite lock. Especially through transitions. Atleast, this is my experience. Obviously, these guys are in a whole different league. Cheers to them! ^__^
Tran Antony My guess would be the stock E-brake doesnt have enough preassure to lock up rear tires so they use it instead like brakes to help with weight transfer inertia.
Daisuke San did it cos he's a drifter and therefore a quick learner, if it was me, it might have taken all day, three sets of tires, front & rear bumpers, and maybe Id have made it once.
Is is just me, or did none of them press the clutch when they pulled the handbrake? Wouldn't that be bad for the engine? I wouldn't think it would do much but slow you down a bit if you don't clutch. Am I wrong?
i would think thats a hard car to drift because of its 50/50 weight distribution is meant to grip the corners and be in control. not out of control. but your not in control unless your out of control. . . YO DAWG ! ?
Wow two of the coolest things... Drifting and Miata. The new miata should of had the 232 horsepowered Renesis Rotary 13B but 166 horses is all this car really needs anyways. Although gas milage could have been better.
wow, seeing tsuchiya in that miata really shows how short he really is :P doesn't have anything to do with the video but it's funny to see how tall a person is without actually seeing them.
@goodkill1 " improve the front to back weight ratio." na1's hava a perfect 50/50. how do you improve that? i dont know about the newer ones. i do know my 93 though. and i wouldnt change a thing with it. only light mods and i can rip an occasional drift on dry pavement. and i mean light. coilovers, exhaust, and intake. plus 267,000 miles on it. that said, the 13b requires to much firewall cutting and other various fabrications. it wouldnt be a practical install. thats why they never did.
i believe it's harder because the automakers make the car to maintain control on the road and as we all know drifting is on the line of control and out of control.
that other guy.. in that green suit with the red coat.. he's a drifter as well right? I thought i saw him drifting in a silvia or rx7 once if im right..
The key to the transition is to brake just before, watch when daisuke brakes between his early runs and 12th. Braking just after the first drift reduces the weight transfer the other way so the car doesn't spin itself out
The clutch on a stock miata is softer than you might think. If there is anything going to break before the low tolerances of the engine bearings and such, it would be that they clutch wears out. If it were a highly modified engine and multiplate clutch that had a huge lockup factor, then yes, especially on wet pavement where friction of tire on road is low and thus lends itself to lock up. But with stock- not likely. excellent question though!
First thing I ever tried to drift was my Dakota pickup, which I crashed after owning it for 2 weeks (it's fine, just a dent). 10 years later, I bought an NC, and again had some trouble with drifting, albeit without crashing since I'm better at choosing times and places now. No surprise, since I don't see myself as an amazing driver. Just for the laughs, I decided to take another swing at the Dakota. Easiest thing in the world. Impossible to lose control, at least compared to the NC. That was pretty eye-opening. When the Miata grabs traction and starts to straighten out, things happen FAST.
@Fruitypuddinpops the new miatas are harder in some cases ive tried both 1st gen miata has no power that's the only problem, in the rain i would rather be in a NA then a NC
LOL...he didn't say the mx5 was front wheel drive. FR stands for Front engine, Rear wheel drive. How about knowing what YOU'RE talking about, before calling other ppl names?
i dont know too much about drifting, but should`nt he step OFF the gass at 1:36, instead of stepping ON it? when he see that he wont make the drift.. (sorry for my english)
@wise185 if your replace the engine with any engine including a 0 miles original miata engine from the same year and trim you would decrease the value of the car. personally I wouldn't buy a miata with a swapped 13b because it is someone's "toy" and people like to play with their toys so it would most likely have been abused.
so all of the drivers in japan wear race suits shoes n gloves every where they go i havent seen a video of a driver not wearing his suit beside ken nomura n kechi
@goodkill1 Nah, if i was going oldsckool miata it would be the NA. Lightest and easiest to mod/make faster. Even with a 2+ rotor engine. I was just saying for sales aspects the rotary should have been put into the newest mx-5. Probably wouldn't have increased sales much if at all but it would have been a way more fined tuned sports car out of the box.
@chadhotchilipeppers I'd rather put the rotary in the miata, more hp and less weight(unless you use the 13-b turboII). overall the less weight would improve the front to back weight ratio.
@valent1030 its heel/toe downshifting, its used to rev match the shifts so the car doesn't lurch when downshifting while braking the car at the same time
@Kazekage5th 1st gen actually have 115hp, 128hp and 131hp depending on whether it's the 1.6L 1.8L or OBD2 1.8L. The JDM 1st gens actually have even more because they had the sought after "squaretop intake mani" and performance exhaust headers and likely a different tune.
I always thinked (already something like 2-3 years already) that the drifters press clutch pedal when using hand brake to start drifting... Oh gosh, that looks terrific now for me! O_O
Seeing Daisuke struggle here makes me happy, and further justifies my need for coilovers 😁
You’ll have more grip on regular roads without them though. It’s hard to drift because there’s too much roll and roll=grip
DK's sense of motion is almost super human! he can really drift almost anything on his first attempt. I remember teaching him the basics back in the day, makes me proud how far he has come today.
you taught him? :O
@@treerexaudi thats the joke
I know xD @@bagfumbler
Yes he is the father of drifting :).
First attempt was decades ago, young one.

Agreed lol
Is it me or he leaves the e-brake a bit pulled?
They didn't hit the clutch when they pulled the ebrake :o

Hey after 11 year
Lol I don't speak Japanese but Dori Dori definitely said "That was shit" at the first 180 spin

Its a japanese car that side is the correct side. PERIOD.
本当サイド使わないと滑らせない。。。
Gotta love those smiling faces… great fun!
Thanks for the camera on the pedal box.
The key to the transition is to brake just before, watch when daisuke brakes between his early runs and 12th. Braking just after the first drift reduces the weight transfer the other way so the car doesn't spin itself out
If they want a harder challence they can try to drift a stock 90-93 1.6, its reeeeally hard with such little horsepower and torque

*What's with the thumbnail!?😂*
skills!
If you don't you risk locking the rear wheels. You can use this as a technique for initiating the drift though.
1min 3sec, he throttled hard and kept the rotation 🤔😭
15 year old video my gawd
I wish my wife would do to me what this man does to any car bw drives
When an American says "nice 180" it does actually sound like "menstruating" if you allow it to sound like that in your mind lol!
is it necessary to heel toe a stock miata?

Hey what’s your name?
Even the pros have to practice! ;)
Came here 6 years later to say, generally you can't get the hang of something you haven't tried before.
nc is 2005+
Christopher Goneau 2006 -2015
Adamlar teknolojinin merkezi ama kullandıkları kamera 'sony handycam VHS' :D
Bruuuuuhh 14 Years ago
I knew about the car and I knew about the drift king but I didn’t know about this video. I love them both.
How does a show get made with an English host, Japanese drivers, and zero subtitles?
@Fruitypuddinpops the new miatas are harder in some cases ive tried both 1st gen miata has no power that's the only problem, in the rain i would rather be in a NA then a NC
LOL...he didn't say the mx5 was front wheel drive. FR stands for Front engine, Rear wheel drive. How about knowing what YOU'RE talking about, before calling other ppl names?
i dont know too much about drifting, but should`nt he step OFF the gass at 1:36, instead of stepping ON it? when he see that he wont make the drift.. (sorry for my english)
@wise185 if your replace the engine with any engine including a 0 miles original miata engine from the same year and trim you would decrease the value of the car. personally I wouldn't buy a miata with a swapped 13b because it is someone's "toy" and people like to play with their toys so it would most likely have been abused.
so all of the drivers in japan wear race suits shoes n gloves every where they go i havent seen a video of a driver not wearing his suit beside ken nomura n kechi
@goodkill1 Nah, if i was going oldsckool miata it would be the NA. Lightest and easiest to mod/make faster. Even with a 2+ rotor engine. I was just saying for sales aspects the rotary should have been put into the newest mx-5. Probably wouldn't have increased sales much if at all but it would have been a way more fined tuned sports car out of the box.
@AkinaGod the new(post 2004?) miata has ugly rx8 fenders. personally i'd go with the 2001 miata with a custom 4 rotor ITB setup
at 0:30 why he hit the brake and throtle together,i think he hit the clutch too...or it is for keep the RPM?
anyone can answer?
He says "stock car" like it was NASCAR. I hate the announcer for these videos.
@AkinaGod with all the negative misinformation out there about rotaries it would easily kill the miata market.
@Mr1wd What are you even talking about? Learn to read and comprehend before making comments!
O.o to match up the rev difference between gears when downshifting? Yeah. Doesn't matter if the car is stock or modded.
@JONRIEE so pretty mush the clutch just slips by itself when they pull the handbrake? makes sense
Anyone know which year this model is?
xCarlosKidx either 06 or 07
@gabriel1812 Did you read the whole conversation or just come in at the end and assume what you did?
@sk8endorphin I don't know much about NC (doesn't peak my interest) but my NB has a Torsen LSD
FWD is Front Wheel Drive...not FR.
Yeah it looks more complicated stock lol
@chadhotchilipeppers I'd rather put the rotary in the miata, more hp and less weight(unless you use the 13-b turboII). overall the less weight would improve the front to back weight ratio.
@mbh427 get the facts right before you comment, mx5 has always been FR
😅😅
@kensei96
something similar to the pillsbury doughboy when he gets his tummy poked. try pressing it a couple times in a row
Well, if there was one person who could drift in any car, it'd be Tsuchiya.
I wanna see him drift that s15 they were talking about. . .
maybe but race suits and shoes are usually fair comfy
haha i love the japanese theyre fuckin crazy! lol
@valent1030 its heel/toe downshifting, its used to rev match the shifts so the car doesn't lurch when downshifting while braking the car at the same time
@nikg72 the first gen has 115hp. The ones in this vid have 160 hp
The steering wheel is on the wrong side....
Im not impressed. :/
desuke is so hawt
Impressive dorifto
@Kazekage5th 1st gen actually have 115hp, 128hp and 131hp depending on whether it's the 1.6L 1.8L or OBD2 1.8L. The JDM 1st gens actually have even more because they had the sought after "squaretop intake mani" and performance exhaust headers and likely a different tune.
@Reel785 Yea, thanks. That's what I said, read my comment. Plus, I own a miata myself.
he say fucking miata i love mi supra hahaha
stock car means no mods done 2 it
@valent1030
that's a driving technique call heel & toe.....
it seems :)
but i think its Alpinestar not Puma
2020 anybody?
@mbh427 miatas are rw drive
he's use to having more steering lock, alot more
I always thinked (already something like 2-3 years already) that the drifters press clutch pedal when using hand brake to start drifting... Oh gosh, that looks terrific now for me! O_O
No, I mean that he doesn't press the clutch while locking the rear wheels. Strange method.
WEAK ANGLE DAISUKE!
i keep playing 0:57 over and over
Na, Nb and nc are difrent types ( generations)
@kennbe87 damnnnn 267k miles.. HOW GOOD DOES IT
@ps2beck whats does he say ?
i love miatas but what is the nc for?
@brodell20 it uses a twin cam fuel injected engine ..
@goodkill1 perfect time for the rotary to make a come back then :D
@AkinaGod good enthusiasm
can anybody tell me whats the brand of this shoes??
guzjtgukjg ukhgkugk Nike Jahova's SB gx 10
@ricky66666
what is the function?
no lsd???
menstruating.
@zachisballin94 Since they invented drifting.... :)
@hardcoreaaron whats an asics ?
@shadmonk what is LSD ?
that guy is the king!
@cashmere7777 the blue ones are asics :)
@DjSuperSou1 so its a clutch ??
Does the NC have an lsd?
Stock doesnt have one .
