    i remember the first time i saw an ls swapped miata i didnt know wtf was goin on like " why does a miata sound like that?" i was like 8 years old outside of a pep boys in florida and my dad told me any car can sound like that if you change the muffler ........ i was like nahhhhhh somethings fishy here lol

      @Vert344 6 лет назад +6

      You were a true car guy as a child. xD "Nah dad trying to feed me that bull bull... this shit ain't right~ And I'ma get to the bottom of it!!" Hahah~ Is a amazing we didn't see a 8-Year old doing extensive ass research on why a Miata didn't sound right. lol

    Don't forget to order your Thermostat gasket, and thermostat. The black valve covers looks far better then the dirty red which was still better looking then the stock dull aluminum.

  • @dylanmclain4927
    @dylanmclain4927 6 лет назад +3

    Hey Taylor you should look into adding some bracing and support to the wheel wells. I have heard there kinda weak and tend to flex. My friend did it in his Miata and said it made a big difference. And on hoonigan the recent episode with the green Evo they mention that’s it’s a good thing to do. Anyway just a thought but keep up the good stuff

  • @bryanbutte
    @bryanbutte 6 лет назад

    You're so close to 300k Subs! I'm excited to see this channel grow. It's nice to see someone building a car in a typical tuner style garage and not some fancy, crazy setup that the average person can't afford. I can't wait to see the final product dude!

    37 subs away from 300K and by the time I wake up tomorrow it’s going to be 300K, been watching since 5K since I was late to watch the video where Adam pointed out you had a channel. Thank you for providing the many hours of entertainment and more of the grass routes typical guy than Adam’s professional side of things. Now to the road of 400k, we’ll get there soon enough!

    Before Taylor had a channel, him and aLZ used to kick it quite often. I’ve noticed this with a few other YTers. Friends in one video, quit chilling when they both get a channel.

  • @brendonkamp1186
    @brendonkamp1186 6 лет назад

    Wire brushing and wire wheels smooth a surface rather than scuffing it like sandpaper. That's why the paint was easy to damage. Good prep is key to good paint finish..

  • @ayyitscama9157

  • @albertohetcher5611
    @albertohetcher5611 6 лет назад

    Next time you wrap something. Sometimes it's easier if you spray a little bit of soapy water (it will let you rectify if it doesn't align properly, and it will be easier to remove the wrap in the future). Also heat helps a lot.

    @111dontworry 6 лет назад +3

    I mean it is your choice, which is ultimate.
    but imo having a suspension set up already in my possession that would fit if all I had to do was notch the subframe, and having most of the material to do the work, i'd go with notching it.
    but like I said, its your choice.
