- Today we take out my 2000 Mazda Mx5 Miata (aka the "NB"). I rebuilt this car a few years ago and I love taking this out for a drive in the summertime. I just recently bought the new GoPro Hero 9 and wanted to test it's capabilities at capturing videos in 4K. Let me know what you guys think down in the comments below.

I just bought my first miata, a 2000 special edition, and it's by far the best handling car I've owned. I love everything about it besides the power but I can't wait to supercharge it.
Why not turbo it?
Classic way
I just want to retain the punchiness it has, I have 2 other turbo cars and find myself having more fun with the miata because there's zero lag
@@callyourhitsss i get it, hope it all works out! (Or worked out already lol) Enjoy it :D
It's a bit weird seeing content filmed right where we grew up. Beautiful car bruv. Hope all is well.
Not sure who this is specifically, but I really appreciate it. Yeah it felt kinda like a trip down memory lane driving this car around where we grew up
You should do more of these with the miata! Love the vid
I think I might have to! Appreciate the kind words
This is so refreshing
Appreciate it!
I was gonna say, good job filming and the voice work. You should do driving POV and review's. Then I checked your history and everything made more sense, haha.
I really want one of these come spring. I'm stuck though. Not sure if I want an NA2 or an NB2 but it seems like NB2 is the way to go. I've heard with the extra bracing, the VVT and overall just a better car unless you want raw driving. I'll probably just have to test both but I think NB2 is where it's at.
Hey man, I really appreciate the kind words! Haha yeah I plan to continue with the POV content and see where it goes.
That’s a tough choice. Performance wise the NB will be the superior car. But the NA is a better miata (since its so iconic). But ultimately it comes down to if you want pop-up headlights :)
@@bendaga It sounds like a tough choice, really. To be honest, the reason I want one is I've yet to own a RWD car before and also miss driving stick. I mostly want something for cruising the back roads and something that makes going slow feel fast. Reason thinking about the NB is because it might end up going a hundred miles or two in any given direction from home sometimes and want something more comfortable and stable feeling, especially on the highway. I'd have to see how both react on the highway and judge if I could comfortably enjoy it on longer trips. Thought about checking out the NC too because those are coming down. I guess we'll see here soon enough.
@@Snakeplisskin440 test drive some if you can. They are small cars, so they won’t feel as stable as like a luxury car. But you will get used to it.
@@bendaga I want an NA, but here in the UK they're semi difficult to find (nearest for sale is 180 miles away) and they're double the price of an NB. NA's are now about 4k, but NB's are 2k. Do you think an NB is disappointing in comparison to an NA, or do you think if I bought an NB instead of an NA I would love it just as much?
@@thomaslambert2318 I will try not to be biased here, but I really do love the NB. It’s such a good car for the money. If you could find one for half the cost of a NA, I think thats an amazing deal.
Amazing POV bruv btw what place is that?
The car is like doing 70 mph on a skateboard they never excited me just because i like bigger vehicles but it is obvious you are having fun and that is the whole point
Agreed. Big vehicles are fun too
One day imma buy this thing. Lovely car
Highly recommend. Thank you.
DO IT !
Makes me really miss my NA...its been almost two months since I've been able to drive her. She's very broken. Hopefully I'll have her running again in a few weeks though
Aw man sorry to hear that. Love the NA’s. Hopefully you get it up and running soon!
Update: I got her back last week and she runs better than ever now!
@@zackdl amazing - congrats man!
Peaceful ride, thanks
Thanks for stopping by
Do you have exhaust or intake modified? Sound pretty nice!
My first ever manual driving experience was with a relative's MX-5 NC. It was decent enough, but I'd really love to own a decent NB to continue my practice. Much more reliable, so I've been told, and it doesn't try too hard to look aggressive like the ND lol. It may not be nearly as powerful as its contemporaries, but if the driving experience is as fun as it looks, I'd happily take it over any twin-turbo.
I have owned my evo orange nb 1.8 140hp for about 5 weeks now. Great car!
Glad you’re enjoying it so far!
@@bendaga so worth the money!
Love it .. Deff saying up for one .. hopefully next summer 🙏🏼
Hope you find a good one. The best time to buy a miata is usually in the winter time. In the summer the prices are a bit more steep due to the demand.
@@bendaga bro seriously, I’ve been steady looking.. and the prices are ridiculous.. good point, hopefully the prices do drop during the winter time..
@@onesweetxj yeah the car market is weird right now for sure…but there are good deals to be had!
Super nice ! :) What exhaust does it have ?
Which exhaust do you have?
Also what head unit did you go for? Looking to do the same
Great vid!
I'll be doing my driver license in two and a half year and ive always loved NA/NB miata's, im saving money to buy a miata as soon as possible after i get my license. I just love how fun they are, i dont care about these stereotypes, this is the coolest, fun car ive ever seen and experienced.
Im really scared that they might skyrocket once again, like 5 years ago you could get an NA for 2 grand, and now the cheapest beat up with quadrilion of miles are 6k atleast
Shame there arent a lot of them for sale in my country :pp
@@szpinak506 dont worry, they exploded because of the rising jdm prices and the pop-ups lol. You will surely get a nice NB or even an NC in two years 😅
@@danieldylka2957 do you think NA's could get down in price or are they gonna keep rising? I really hope the hype for used cars dies off so i can buy cars cheap again haha
@@szpinak506 Dont think the prices will Fall anytime soon :(, as a alternative you can maybe look for a 1st or second Gen Toyota Mr2. One of them even has pop-ups haha. But theyre pretty rare to find cheap
is the exhaust stock/ sounds really nice
Does the wind go into your eyes when u have it on convertible mode?
i like pop up headlights one
What is with that gauge cluster? Is that stock in the US? My EU version has low RMPs in the bottom left of the gauge. This looks like way better solution, especialy since I will need smaller steering wheel, as my hand can't fit between the wheel and my thigh.
It’s a custom cluster. The gauge faces are FM from rev limiter
what is the supercharger like whine in the background? I heard it on a miata too but didn't know what it was.
No supercharger on this one. Maybe it’s just a little transmission whine?
Would love to see a miata vid with the top up in pouring rain
Give me some rain and we may have to do it 😩
I always do that in my MGB roadster.
buttery downshifts
Haha trying my best
Does the top down reduce the noise much when you're on the highway?
Not really. But it’s fun on a nice day.
i want one now
Never too late!
I got a 1999 MX-5 NB 1.6 as my first car, so it's even slower than yours, but that doesn't bother me at all.
More reason to pit your foot down :)
Well done, do you have the color code for the original rims? We have the same one :-) Greetings from Belgium.
Thanks! As for the color code, I believe you can call your local dealer and they should be able to tell you the color code based on your VIN. Have done that on cars in the past. Best of luck!
@@bendaga Ok i'll try :-), i don't have a dealer, i do everything independant :-)
@@Tintoycar idk if you have a product line called Dupli-Color (High Performance Wheel Coating - HWP101 SILVER) in Belgium, but that’s what I used to restore the stock center wheel cap covers as those tend to wear to an ugly orange after a while.
whats your height? i want to buy i miata but i wonder if i even fit in
What town/state is this? Looks beautiful
Pnw
How many cars u got bro ? You should line them up and give us what you like and dislike about each one. That would be a cool vid!
Haha more than plenty. That would be a cool vid!
Great video and car, cheers :)
Appreciate the kind words, thank you!
Mine leaked like crazy and couldn't get any new rubber seals for a decent price so i got rid of it. What a shame they never made a hardtop for whatever reason
They do have hardtops available?
@@bendaga Not from the factory is my point.
What? You can get OEM hard tops for the NB
@@electricsynthesis Yeah for over a grand, i'm saying straight from the factory, as in never had a soft top on it.
Yup makes me want one lol. Too bad they’re pricey right now
Yeah, the car market is very upside down rn
I prefer to open the doors just a little bit when I open or close the roof.
May I ask why? Does it damage the roof?
Over time it might damage it a little bit.
I really want to buy one but I don’t know where to find them stock 😭
They’re out there, but I will admit that it took me a while to find one.
I have a stock one if you're still in the market
What exhuast is this? Sounds great!
Stock with an upgraded air filter.
@@bendaga damn that intake really sounds great. Looks like I'm going to have to get one lol.
@@Sk1pperCS Appreciate the kind words. Miata may be the answer.
hi do you have a link for your autoradio plz ?
It's called the ATOTO A6
@@bendaga thank you very much
Subed
Appreciate it!
And that is sound with 1.6 engine?
1.8
what stereo is that?
ATOTO A1. They sponsored some of my content a while back. Really solid bluetooth double din radio. Would recommend.
Come to the UK brother, i'll show you how to shift
Bet
how tall are you and how comfortable is it to ride in?
I am 5’10” and I fit in it like a glove.
@@bendaga you think a 5'5 person would be able to see over the steering wheel decently?
@@monkey.moments8272 good question. Best way to know would be to test drive one.
Have an m2 and a 99 nb. I prefer the nb and want to sell the m2
gawd are the tach and speedo actually like that? upside down? thats so annoying to look at
nah its a tach mod
Oh wow. You guys are not down shifting and rev matching like I am.
You have slow windows? Easy fix: ruclips.net/video/a5bnZYVbFqo/видео.html
Amerikan roads are so different compared to germans wtf
