Man I’ve subbed forever but never really watched and then started going back and watching all the Miata videos and man I gotta say you have some of the best videos on RUclips. Here stay brother keep up the good content
you do know out of all the youtube drifters your the one with the most potential to make it in FD right? just sayin, been watching everyone of you for a long time now, and you since the day adam told you to make the channel. your easily the most consistent and can literally drive any car your put behind. just planting the seed, your turn to grow.
It legitimately made me super happy that you mentioned Rush. You also made me look at those momo seats for the future. Keep the videos coming brother!!
Taylor, I'd definitely recommend getting a HANS, you dont need to change your belts, it doesn't effect your head motion nearly as much as you'd expect, and its basically the best piece of safety equipment you can add. Especially since you have all of the supporting parts.
@@mika012300 Exactly, a HANS is such a worthwhile investment. Especially since he mentioned w2w racing, they're required pretty much with everyone (that I'm aware of). It always blows my mind that safety requirements for drifting are so lax.
@@alexstromberg7696 Fire suppression is a bit overkill if you look at how much that costs imo having a portable fire extinguisher that has a good quick release system that actually works should be enough imo. Afaik cars do get inspected at OSW. I'm definitely of the mindset of not doing something unless it's actually gonna improve safety. A lot of my friends are getting 4 points without anti submarining and i haven't seen one of them have the harnesses adjusted right either they all wear their lap belt on their stomach so they'd be dead the instant they'd get in any kind of accident over 50 kph stuff like that really get's to me. So many people just do shit cause they think it looks cool without doing any research.
The MOMO's are looking sweet with the harnesses. Outfitting the Miata with serious seats...I'm so looking forward to seeing you ripping on the cart track with the Miata. What you think is "rambling" is exactly the kind of stuff and excitement that's contagious. Don't change a thing... Also, really like your approach and attitude when not everything goes as initially expected. Great example for people to "not sweat the small stuff" in life. btw... Baseboards looking sweet... Great job and sets off the floors and the paint.
Literally shopping for harnesses and happened to remember you getting the crow ones and saying how much you loved them!! Totally getting the exact same ones
Found the best way to mount side mounts is to bolt the front of the seats to mounts, bolt the front of the mount in, you can then tilt the seat forward to get to the back mount bolts, and then you've only gotta muck about with the two year seat mount bolts.
It would be sick if you could get custom doorcards like you have in the Z for the miata. I know theres the cage and that makes things difficult, but if you had them, the interior would be so clean. Miata rips!!!
can you mod a gopro handlebar mount to the cage crossmember between the seats at around eye level? that would give good FOV and you could even angle down for footcam ...
If you do go with the halos, For your helmet mounted go pro, mount it on the bottom of your visor on your chin. Do it with Dan has a video on it, plus I like the more centered POV. 👍🏼
Seems like every time Taylor is doing something new to his Ls swap miata project, the next day im always doing the same exact thing on my 87 Rx7 ls project. Todays seat and belt day!!
Hey man, if you're ever looking for race equipment, seats, belts, fire extinguishers, anything really, check out Wine Country Motor Sports, they have 2 locations in Florida where you touch and feel gear before you buy
Like you said it need a proper handbreak setup , and the interior's so mint Taylor , awesome work man 👌andddddd that ride with ben x) wish i could hear it irl ✌
dude the way you were laughing during the pulls😂😂😂.... motivation to finish my LS swap s2000!!!! Hope It turns out at least half as clean as yours lmao
Taylor see if you can attach the GoPro to the outside of the seat or I've seen people connect it to the chin of there helmet so you could try that also.
You reeeaaalllly need harness stays on the cage for your shoulder straps. Your harness bar on the cage is so far back that if you got in a wreck, the left shoulder harness could slide around it. Which wouldnt be very safe for you. Just please weld something on there so the harness' cant slide forward.
You really should start considering a hans device regardless if its required. With your level of driving its only a matter of time. Your necks super soft in an accident... might as well get used to wearing it, it dissapears quickly. Also, in the HANS brochure it makes sure to tell you you dont need 2 inch harnesses. They were designed to be used with 3 inch shoulder belts. Also you and Adam need to step up the game and get in firesuits. safety first and nobody wants to get knocked out and roast in a fire strapped in to a harness for who knows how long. That would suck. Love the build so far!!
The problem with fire suits is it’s so hot In Florida we would likely overheat ourselves before ever worrying about a fire. I do want to get a cool shirt.
You mean Coat-tail tommy? Was not feeling the fact that Coat-tail was texting and filming during Adams filming as well as totally unnecessary f-bombs. No class IMO.
Got Thumbs who pissed in your Cheerios? I just said he was in the video, wasn't asking for a open poll on tommy's character. Sure I'm not a fan of the guy myself, but no need to guy hating on him every time his name pops up
Hey Taylor I recommend that you look at a guy named do it with Dan to set up your helmet cam he posted a video about what he uses for motovlogging, he uses a chin mounted cam, I don't know if you would want to use chin mount but I suggest checking it out at least.
Taylor you could make a camera bracket for the right Halo bulster that can be placed or removed with thumb screws or something like that so it is easily removable.
You should have the miata tuned on a dyno, might be able to get alittle more out of it and know the tune is clean. But otherwise great work keep at it!
Can you show the Momo daytona seats in detail, size, how they fit you, how do they feel, and pro and coans. There isn’t any videos on RUclips that show them in detail. Thanks! 😎🏁
The name of the belts is pronounced like the bird a crow... the owner is a super nice guy and belts are top notch quality people in nascar even use them etc
"You can kinda feel it knocking around in your butt." - Taylor Ray, 2018.
Saw that comming 😂
He likes to be able to feel it.
Taylor, you have a full cage, containment seat, and 6 pt harnesses.... get a hans it saved my life when I crashed my car at the track
Man I’ve subbed forever but never really watched and then started going back and watching all the Miata videos and man I gotta say you have some of the best videos on RUclips. Here stay brother keep up the good content
Thanks man! Glad to have you!
No problem dude👍🏻

Man I'd really like to see you suede your dash, not only does it look good it has function!
I do want to do that eventually!
Wasn't expecting the reply but awesome!! waiting for the future video of it
@@Taylordrifts yeah buddy that dash could use a little love lol. In time
Hey taylor. Im pretty sure its crow like the bird, Hence the logo being a crow.
This!! @Talor Ray
Chassis code for your Impreza Is a GC6, not a GC8! G standing for Impreza, C standing for sedan, and 6 for the 2.5!
I am loving watching this car come full circle keep up the great work Taylor
Taylor i leave for Parris Island on the 26th im gonna miss ur vids and i bought some merch thanks again for the entertainment
Taylor, I'd definitely recommend getting a HANS, you dont need to change your belts, it doesn't effect your head motion nearly as much as you'd expect, and its basically the best piece of safety equipment you can add. Especially since you have all of the supporting parts.
This you can invest in harnesses all you want but a 5 point is still gonna break your neck in a serious accident.
@@mika012300 Exactly, a HANS is such a worthwhile investment. Especially since he mentioned w2w racing, they're required pretty much with everyone (that I'm aware of). It always blows my mind that safety requirements for drifting are so lax.
@@alexstromberg7696 I'd be okay-ish without the full fire suit for the most part, but definitely at least HANS, helmet, and harnesses.

I needed this comment. Thank you!

Haven’t seen you that happy in a while! I’m so stoked for you man

Be me. "I wonder if Taylor uploaded." Picks up phone. Notification immediately pops up. SCORE!
can you mod a gopro handlebar mount to the cage crossmember between the seats at around eye level? that would give good FOV and you could even angle down for footcam ...
Or just buy a cage mount

i laughed way too hard at gauge cluster cover lifting upon acceleration. lol, damn fragile clips. the miata is awesome man!!!!!!!!!!
You sounded like a mad scientist when you were laughing during the rips
Randy Bryant Yup, smiles per gallon :)
I think you can get some corbeaus thay are FIA approved for pretty cheap but I’ve heard some quality complaints about them.
It was Niki Lauda not Ayrton Senna my man :)
I died a bit inside but I wasn't sure if Ayrton said it at some point possibly when he was shake down testing the nsx
love this miata man! great build!
I love this build, ya living the dream bro 👍
Hey man, if you're ever looking for race equipment, seats, belts, fire extinguishers, anything really, check out Wine Country Motor Sports, they have 2 locations in Florida where you touch and feel gear before you buy
Best car RUclipsr by a long shot
Regarding the camera you could put un the frobt of your helmet maybe on the chin bar.Some motovlogers do it and it works
Sounds soo good. I’m definitely going to consider Momo bucket seats now
I bough a kirkey for my e92 335i on bc coils with wisefab for this exact reason!
Stuff looks good. I think you mean Crow like the bird...
Like you said it need a proper handbreak setup , and the interior's so mint Taylor , awesome work man 👌andddddd that ride with ben x) wish i could hear it irl ✌
You gotta get all the boys together again an go to that sweet hidden drift track! What is it the compound or something
I love the halo seat
dude the way you were laughing during the pulls😂😂😂.... motivation to finish my LS swap s2000!!!! Hope It turns out at least half as clean as yours lmao
you talk enough, it's fine, MX5 looks very cool, well done Taylor, bolt the gage cluster on
You might want to put something on the harness bar to stop the shoulder belt from sliding around that bend and making it become loose
Taylor see if you can attach the GoPro to the outside of the seat or I've seen people connect it to the chin of there helmet so you could try that also.
My cat has the same cat tower. KITTIES 4 LYFE.

Which wouldnt be very safe for you. Just please weld something on there so the harness' cant slide forward.
Idk about drifting but the great part about crow is that you can get them recerted for SFI for like $60 instead of a new set of belts
One of those things that’s stressful. Which seats to get. 😩 E30 struggles. Do you spend that much.😩
I love them momo seats. They r so nice looking!!
Every pull he dies laughing I need a ride 😭😂
With my harnesses that were really tough and rough I put them in the washer with towels and threw fabric softener
14:01 pulling so hard the dash is coming apart. And are you getting a new windshield or what?!

"like in Rush ... when Ayrton Senna said ..." 😂 God, I love you Taylor. 😉
Yeah I messed that up 😂 Nikki lauda*
Saw "LS" and left Adams video immediately
But he haven’t upload today
space vov yesterday's vid with tommy. Didn't have time to watch it yesterday
@@Nathan-my8cn ooo ok i thought he did and dam youtube was not showing me the video on my feed, even when and check to be sure haa

That thing sounds amazing!
Hella cool video homie. Keep it up.
How was the experience with the daytona?? Is it worth it??
Please makea stopper for the harness bar, crashing with it now would slide the outer belt forward through the curve and twist your back :/
can't wait for the first track day.
Im a simple man. I see a taylor ray vid, i click it.
What’s the part number on the crow harness. I want to make sure I’m getting the right one🤘🏻🤘🏻
Knew that miata would rip! dope video as always bro
Do a chin mount on your helmet. Look up up motovlogger setups.ALSO GO TO THE DRAG STRIP WITH THE LSMIATA
I'm interested in getting a hold of these seat brackets for my Miata, but I don't have a facebook. is there another way to get a hold of these guys?
What brackets did you get for this. Please let me know. I plan on ordering me these
You should have the miata tuned on a dyno, might be able to get alittle more out of it and know the tune is clean. But otherwise great work keep at it!
Glad to meet you bro! Hope to see you soon
Where'd you buy the seats? I need a new set of FIA seats for my rally car
Can you show the Momo daytona seats in detail, size, how they fit you, how do they feel, and pro and coans. There isn’t any videos on RUclips that show them in detail. Thanks! 😎🏁
Could you stick a camera on the bit of the seat that's blocking your helmet came, just thought that could be another camera angle
Taylor I love the video's but please do something about the lighting. The video's are so dark
CarEnthusiast I came here to say this as well
Hey so a year later do you like the bride seat you have or the Momo seats better?
In before Taylor gets his first ticket in the LS miata.
Rhino line the floor on the z would make the interior look way better
And be sound/vibration deadened! Rhino or raptor liner like motion auto trevor uses even thinned down like he does
what series were those harnesses ? interested in an alternative to your takata harnesses
Lol Senna wasn't in Rush man. That was about Niki Lauda and James Hunt. A few years before Senna's time.
I would think about putting the camera on the side of the halo seat
i hate when people leave a factory seat on the passenger side. kudos for not skipping out lol. i enjoy taking my friends for rides too
You should paint black the floor of the Z, then no more blueish dirt and a totally clean interior
The centre console area needs to be mounted before it goes flying
The name of the belts is pronounced like the bird a crow... the owner is a super nice guy and belts are top notch quality people in nascar even use them etc
The harness matches your engine bay
Did it come with the airbag resistors?
Need exterior flyby pulls!
Love your content. I'm new to your channel n I'm hooked
Thanks man! Hope you stick around Awhile!
s/o to Ayrton senna!!!!! great bro
When is the dyno day coming??
what about mountiung the camera on the front of your helmet under your visor
Love this channel !!!
Question.. was the fitment on the start seats fine?
How much did you have to push the trans tunnel in?
That laugh when you beat down your ride for the first time.
Ignore negative comments. You don’t talk too much :-)
Love ur channel man keep up the good work .. Australian sub
Love your vids exept the ones were you just sit and talk
Speaks about safety and cut pieces of the car ahahaah
with the helmet cam, you can either do a chin mount camera or a forehead mount camera
Hey bud
What you going to do with that tube frame seat
lol at 14:00 the miata rips too hard for the gauge cluster, pulled her clean off.
These Momos are great. I think it's time to take the Miata, and do some coffee & donuts with Chrissy ;-) .
Taylor, mount a GoPro under the visor on the helmet
