The reason that the hood is raised like that is because I put spacers between the hinges, as you can see in the video at 5:34. Why you ask? Because it is TURBO POWERED and the engine is still stock so it has a lot off overheating problems. The raised hood helps with getting that heat out faster and also because where the turbo is located on the engine is the exact same spot where the reservoirs are located from the brake and clutch fluid, and when I'm in constant boost the turbo gives off extreme heat and the fluid starts to boil wich results in los of pedal pressure. If you look at some drift and/or time attack cars they have the exact same thing because most of the time they still run a stock engine that is boosted. And if you don't know what I'm talking about then you souldn't comment on these video's because then you're not really a car guy/girl.
They feel comfortable but I would'nt recommend them if you have to drive long distances 'cause the once I have don't have a lot of padding in them so after about an hour and half driving your bumm starts to fezl numm. :-P
Salut, magnifique mx5 !!!! Le jour ou la mienne sera comme ça je ferai péter le champagne. Je me demandais juste comment tu fesais pour passer le contrôle technique?
At the time I still had an old Link ECU Management system but the data was pretty much fuck up, and on cold start it had that problem because it was to lean on fuel. Now I have a new ECU system and it does'nt have that resonating at idle anymore so I don't think you can just adjust anything on your car so it has the same sound. Unless you can find anything on the internet about it I can't help with that.
I used te mounts that goes with the seats itself but I would propose fabricating your own because these would raise up the seats quite high resulting that the seating position gets higher wich causes a problem for tall people and wearing a helmet for trackdays.
cameron poces there not aftermarket. The complete head of the engine is from an NB-FL series from 1999. Apparently they fit NA's also. So the cams are basically still stock if thats what you wanted to know.
as I mentioned in all the other comments, the car had at the time of filming had a mallfunctioning ecu. It was still driveable but most of the data was corrupt wich resulted in the idle at cold start being so clitchy.
rims are 17" I believe offset +35 but with 1.58" spacers, tyres are 205/45. The fenders are'nt pulled just the lip inside the fenders are rolled inwards.
Wij doen heel veel meetings in Belgie en ook enkele in Nederland, dus als je goed oplet zul je ons wel ergens tegenkomen. Check de rest van men videos maar is. Zijn allemaal meetings waar ik ook anwezig was met de miata
It's Yoduhl I'm not really sure, but I've been told that the engine is the same type as a mazda 323f turbo (protege) and that the previous owner who put the turbo on it, rebuild the upper block from a '99 trophy model (mx-5) wich has sharper cams to run boost spool up in lower rpms. I hope this helps you a bit ;-)
Tyler Cole When this video was made I was running a Link ECU that was out of date and the values where all pretty corrupt, wich ment the car was running way to lean on fuel on cold start. Now a brand new Link ECU has been installed and it does idle like a normal car should.
I did sell my BBS wheels to my brother in law, because he wanted wome new wheels for his civic. So I'm sorry but you gonna have to search the interweb for some bro.
if you take off all the colorful stickers, the drift toy, the hood spacers, and the purple lug nuts, youd have yourself one of the cleanest NAs out there. just helpful criticism, no hate. nice car
SakkiAddo Thanks man. That means a lot to me. But it's by far one off the cleanest NAs 'cause the paint is chipping and cracking in some places. Its full of dents and scratches, which aren't really visible in the video. And about the hood lift, it's kind of needed because it needs to deplete the heat from under the bonnet because the turbo is giving a lot of damn hotness when its constantly blowing and it all radiates thru the fire wall because there is no more insulation. So in winter its very pleasant but in the summer it's kind of a pain in the butt when your doing 5mph in traffic and your feet are burning ;-)
Kaan Senturk jep die wagen is mijn trotse eigendom :) is al een oude video hoor en de wagen ondergaat momenteel een grote transformatie. Er zal na afloop zowiezo nog wel een update video volgen.
It's Yoduhl I did'nt searched for one before the time off this video, because I did'nt had any money and the car was just finished a couple weeks before filming after standing still for a while. But now I have a momo steering wheel from a '91.
They're pretty comfy. They really give a safe feeling and bring you to one with the car witch was the thing I was looking for. The only thing I would recommend is buying some extra padding to sit on cause after about a 100miles cruising you're ass is gonna feel num. :-D
Those door bars are sick!
All the songs are awesome the car outstanding performance & the video was nice👍👍👍
OMG !!!! je l'ai déjà vu du coté de MONS ! je bavais dessus a chaque que je passais avec ma mx !!!!
Now that is beautiful!!
you can tug on the lights to make them even with the hood, and gently push the corners of the hood near the windshield to push it down some.

Beautiful build my friend. Quick question, how wide are your shoulders? I'm worried that my shoulders wouldn't fit in a pro seat. Thanks
car looks awesome video is well made, off to the corbeau showroom next week to pick a pair of seats how do they feel for every day use ?
They feel comfortable but I would'nt recommend them if you have to drive long distances 'cause the once I have don't have a lot of padding in them so after about an hour and half driving your bumm starts to fezl numm. :-P

great video!! i love your Mazda! what gives it that resonating sound at idle? i want mine to sounds similar. thanks :D
At the time I still had an old Link ECU Management system but the data was pretty much fuck up, and on cold start it had that problem because it was to lean on fuel.

Sorry for the late question but I want to ask you how do the bucket seats feel, are they comfortable?
Wow. Incredible
Lovin the car! What kind of wheels??
Clay Rhee Rota Slipstream gunmetal grey 16x7 et35
Nice upgrade list!! what's the whp??
+Jose Rodriguez A little over 200. It still needs to be tuned properly so it could be running around 240 at the wheels
Are 16's wheeels?
What is it called when your hood sits higher on the side closest to the windshiellldddd
Its called a hoodlift. Its simply done by putting some washer or a half inch iron tube with tread in between the hinges of the hood.
Nice mx5 dude! Are you from Belgium? Got one in the garage getting modified aswell ;)
+mrmax92i Thanks dude and yes I'm from Belgium.
What seat mounts did you use? Or did you fabricate your own?
I used te mounts that goes with the seats itself but I would propose fabricating your own because these would raise up the seats quite high resulting that the seating position gets higher wich causes a problem for tall people and wearing a helmet for trackdays.
how did you get a aftermaerket cam??????!!!!
cameron poces there not aftermarket. The complete head of the engine is from an NB-FL series from 1999. Apparently they fit NA's also. So the cams are basically still stock if thats what you wanted to know.
Roeland Dols how does the car lobe so much
as I mentioned in all the other comments, the car had at the time of filming had a mallfunctioning ecu. It was still driveable but most of the data was corrupt wich resulted in the idle at cold start being so clitchy.
+cameron poces I think the word is LOPE, possibly because of cam LOBE's. (but not in his case)
hey bro whats the spec on the rims and tires? offset? did you have to pull the fenders? nice car bro i want the same stance
rims are 17" I believe offset +35 but with 1.58" spacers, tyres are 205/45. The fenders are'nt pulled just the lip inside the fenders are rolled inwards.
rims 17" and 7" wide
thank you
mooie Miata :) Ik heb ook een US miata :)
ik heep dat ik een keer jouw auto gaan zien ^^
Wij doen heel veel meetings in Belgie en ook enkele in Nederland, dus als je goed oplet zul je ons wel ergens tegenkomen. Check de rest van men videos maar is. Zijn allemaal meetings waar ik ook anwezig was met de miata
What type of cams are you running?
It's Yoduhl I'm not really sure, but I've been told that the engine is the same type as a mazda 323f turbo (protege) and that the previous owner who put the turbo on it, rebuild the upper block from a '99 trophy model (mx-5) wich has sharper cams to run boost spool up in lower rpms. I hope this helps you a bit ;-)
It's Yoduhl While he does have cams, I don't think that's why it idles like that on start up. Pretty sure that's a cyclic idle.

Did you sell your BBS wheels? I need some for my 95M!
I did sell my BBS wheels to my brother in law, because he wanted wome new wheels for his civic. So I'm sorry but you gonna have to search the interweb for some bro.
Roeland Dols alright. Sick car BTW I want my 95 M to look like yours one day.
How tall are you? im 6'1 and i don't think i would fit :(
I'm about 5'8 I think, but I have a friend who is 6'2 and he fits. (with the roof down) :-P
Haha!
Im 6 foot and the soft top touches my head, get different seats, cut out 1/2 an inch from the stock seats
But definitely get rid of the visors
