Be your self relax, you doing ok.
Ethan! Great work on the presentation man! Don't sweat this sorta stuff; we're all miata nerds here. Take it easy, take a breath, and have fun :)
"Put an exhaust back on your car". Hehehe, I like this guy 😅
Breathe and just be yourself and pretend you’re hangin’ out with your best buds. You got this.
Ethan, great job explaining all of this stuff, looking forward to seeing more from you
Good mention re crank pulley dampener. I had a fluid harmonic dampener that made a difference in noise especially higher up in the rev range. The smoothness is noticeable too.
This is probably one of the worst condition Miatas I've seen on this channel, but that just makes it more relatable for a car that is reaching 40. Especially in comparison to all the other ones that basically look factory new.
We have a few ugly Miatas in the family but most of them don’t get screen time. We always try to make them look good when possible.
excellent job, thank you!
Very informative presentation covering a lot of "noisy" aspects of the mx5. Ignore the critics! For a true mx5 enthusiast, it's the expert information we need and want. You delivered! Good job! I have added many of your tips to my maintenance schedule. Thanks
Very much enjoy the video, all good points to note down for checking in my own Miata. Would happily see more, for all the small items that have served their time and deserve replacement, along with what expected noises/noteworthy problems each item could cause. Look forward to the next video
Great jokes! I’ve already ordered the Parthenon style radiator grille.
Obviously Ethan speaks from great experience in restoration of aging Miatas. Don’t mind the digirati, speaking from paper notes is a time-honored lecture technique.
really good explanations, loved it
@AcoAegis Thank you for watching!
this guy is a natural! keep it up.
Great presentation, miata royce here I come!
I'd like to add a couple things off the top of my head. Going with a more plush like carpet along with the DEI insulation inside the cabin and getting it as close to the firewall as possible helps not only with NVH, it also helps with climate control inside. Definitly a good thing in the more extreme tempered climates. The hood hinges also over time wear down and can cause the hood to rattle. If you can sort of lift and jiggle the part of the hood when closed by the wiper cowel. The hinges are more than likely worn. There are also two tunnels on either side of the fuel tank inside the trunk that sort of act like a sound tunnel and channels the sound into the cabin from the exaust and any other road noise from the back of the car. I found insulating the trunk helps with high amounts of heat and noise since it is a giant open area that could act as a drum. If you have an aftermarket exhaust or Catalytic converter, both may increase any exhaust noise inside the cabin. Tire choice is another option to look at aside from wheel options. For example, a set of Yonaka S-Drives has a high amount of road noise compared to a set of Hankook ventus v2 tires of the same 195/50/R15 size. Then there is the science behind the Honda S2000 exhaust with the loop in it to help with exaust noise and drone. And finally, I hear (havn't tested it out yet) that as our cars age. The metal becomes a little bit more flexible. Stitch welding along the door seams and other areas (I believe there is a diagram on the web somewhere) can also restore some of the rigitiy in the chassis.
Good job, in time you'll become used to it. Thanks for the info!
I didn't think to replace the door catches, thanks!
New guy is pretty good. Nice work
Great voice dude.
Good timing. I just installed FM door bushings and my door started rattling. I will check the door catch.
I'm on my second pair of FM door bushings but still had a rattle on the passenger side with bushings on. I never considered the door latch!!! 🤭 Thanks 🙏
So if I wanted to budget out rolls royce-ify-ing my car over the course of a few months what order would you recommend doing these mods in, essentially what will give me the best bang for buck?
I'm not concerned about adding weight / losing performance
thank u sir
nice!
Hi. On my 2001 B I'm going 60 aspect 15''. Will 65 fit?
Whell i got a problem i live in the Netherlands and drive a mx5 na 1997 and i have a nb hardtop.
The problem is that i still have wind noice in the midle of the roof and its driving me crazy🤬 please i try out a lot of things hope u can help me out
need to make more of those butterfly braces
We have more coming very soon! Please reach out to our customer support team directly for an ETA. :)
Off topic but some reviewers have complained about numb steering on ND Miatas. I'm an old guy, I remember that MGBs and Alfa 115 series cars didn't have power steering. A 2,300 pound car doesn't actually need power steering. At anything over a crawl steering lightens up. I know that the old cars had narrower tires and less grip but it might be something worth considering.
The ND lack of feel was addressed by a change in the rack for the RF and 2018+ soft tops. Alignment makes a big difference as well. The ND suspension geometry is designed for power steering, if you try to drive one with the rack disabled it’s very heavy and not in a good way.
I get so much wind noise through the bottom rear of my windows/where the hardtop meets the car on my NB, tightening latches hasnt helped, anybody got any ideas for this?
Have you adjusted or replaced the seals? Are they the correct seals? Feel free to reach out to our customer support team directly if you need help troubleshooting!
3:30 the door molding (welt?) part appears to be NC10-68-911-00 for both sides (NB). Unfortunately, these are out of production and most places are either OOS, or charge ridiculous amount for shipping. Doubt they actually have anything in stock though (BTDT with other parts, you would eventually get a delayed OOS notice and a refund).
Thanks for letting us know.
if you guys are just not going to get fox coil overs back in stock (2 years waiting) could you point me in the right direction to get some? even some that are slightly used.
We're sorry for any hassle, but we've had some supply issues from the manufacturer. We've recently received a shipment and are expecting more very soon. Please reach out to our customer support team directly through phone or email, and they'll be happy to give you any current ETAs we might have.
@@FlyinMiataVideo I have reached out to customer support a few times and I have been told we are expecting more soon every time 😔
We can only pass along what our manufacturers tell us, unfortunately. We do have quite a few working through our warehouse right now.
It’s always a good idea to sign up for our “back in stock” emails because high demand products can sell out almost immediately these days. If you’re just looking at the site once in a while, you may not see them get into stock and sell out again. We’ve definitely been shipping Fox over the past two years.
Weld the doors into place that's a great way to stiffen the car...
My suggestion: a pair of airpods pro, you dont need any of these mods, it will turn your miata into a Lexus instantly once noise cancellation is turned on😂
Have you compared the shocks with Monroe OESpectrum or coil springs with Lesjöfors? I thought they might be the most comfortable.

What product are you looking for? We can try to post you an updated link (if available) here in the comments.
Great video, good info. Tip: make notes, not your whole text. You have the knowledge, you have the story, just tell from experience.
I baby my 1991,it hurt to see my odometer pass the 47999 mark and now at 48000+ today...I know but this car is factory condition.
Just drive it
Bruh why does your voice sound like loquendo
Are Miatas death traps?
It's in our financial best interest to not answer this question.
But actually though, good condition Miatas are safer than you might think.
Baaaaad
The biggest misconception with these cars is that a hardtop will make the car quieter lol.
My hard top absolutely made the car quieter inside. The difference was immediately noticeable after installing the top about a month ago.
Definitely a lot quieter inside with a hard top vs soft top
Definitely a lot quieter inside with a hard top vs soft top
Definitely makes it quieter inside but you also notice a lot more other noises.
"...less like a rattly death trap, and more like a death trap that's nice to drive." SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
Nice job. Try practicing the script before filming
those paper noise for 25 min is not for me, shame .
and fix your car before advising to others
No one asked you Karen.
Give him a break. First time, he was nervous. He has a good delivery. I bet he will get better very quickly.
@@BakouMOH I see what you are saying, but he is not alone and they are not new, those papers man, its not 1993 .
I agree with you.
@@PanditaP thanks, it's a shame because I really wanted to watch, but mannnn it's was too much noise
