No need to apologize for the sound. That engine revving and flawless shifting are pure music.
Nice build to the owner.
96EEng thank you
eeeeeh that engine sounds like crap. I know it's fast but I can never understand why people like the raspy sound of Honda Engines.
Christopher Heisler it sounds really loud thinking of putting in a bigger resonator
Sounds like a flowmaster muffler? Is it?
Felix Reyes cherry bomb
Kudos to you for throwing caution to the wind and chucking that thing into corners behind a $200k Porsche. Great video.
Lmao. Potschaa guy got embarrassed..
Shoutout to the GT3RS owner who held you up
assassin72 seriously
Held him up where? He was already pushing the grip limits through some turns where as the GT3 RS had so much more to give since that track is too small for that car and it still was coming out of the turns way faster and putting cargo ship lenghts on him on the straights. It was a good chase but the miata was never held up.
@@armando_alves sorry guys armando said no fun allowed
@@armando_alves at every braking zone until he started sliding around.
@@armando_alves r/whoosh
That porsche drivers face while looking in the rear view at a miata😳
That GUY8Oh8 lmao
LMAO I love it when he has that wired screaming laugh xD 7:31
He sounds like Homer Simpson 😅
That's a joyous laugh right there. Border line giddy
Thats driving!
Loved that spontaneously manic laugh. I think it's something we can all identify with!
This is what driving is all about. Those kinds of giggles, those kinds of moments!
Following that GT3 😍 epic chase
TheCarPassionChannel honored you took time of your busy schedule to watch:) looking forward to your next video brother:)
@@lander917 Heck yeah man and great job with the car, very clean looking swap.
TheCarPassionChannel thank you brother coming from you means the world to me
I LOVE THAT GIGGLE!
That what ripping TEC will do to you!
You guys should have a crack at it :)
Whhooooo gears and gasoline toy guys are great!
Lol it's the sound that anyone who has ever driven a Miata has made.
Dave's manic laughter in this episode is so good! Haha. I wanted to kswap my nb before, I want to even more now!
Also if your into miatas the guy mentioned, Curtis, has built a few pretty sick ones himself.
Kohen J yea he has he is the man
8 seconds difference between the RUclips challenge Miata & k swap Miata is huge
Seems like a well thought out, quality budget track build with the Xida coilovers, K24 swap, Wilwood BBK and 71R's. Not a fan of the exhaust note, but overall nicely done!
Gandalf721 agreed lmao it’s a Honda. It’s louder inside than it is on the outside trust me
Very good build
It all depends on how the exhaust is built. I have a 15x4 vibrant resonator going into a magna flow muffler, I hear the buzz.
Budget? Isn't just the k24a2 swap like $7-8,000 diy'ing it because of the grossly overpriced K-miata swap kit.
@@Pube83 yep that's budget lol
That chuckle you do when you break loose, pure happiness.
Awesome video guys, thanks for the love!
I love how DP always giggles like a little kid every time the car steps out on him. Great video guys!
Love my Kswapped Miata. Been a great track car for the last 4 years i have had it
Kodamu it’s the perfect swap
I just want to swap an engine that reliable for every day driving cause Miata engine and trannys alway blow
I have genuinely never got excited over a RUclips video, but i felt like i was in the hotseat with you and felt every corner, moment of oversteer, and every giggle with ya brother. Im f'ing pumped now! Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
Thank you guys! You are the bests!
Lander Labrada your car is soo dope nice work!!
Thanks for towing it all the way up here! You're a legend!
David Pratte thank you guys for everything I look forward to your next videos and working with you guys again. Hopefully we can have fun putting up some LS miatas vs Kmiata vs iccotec miata :)
What a great onboard, 2060 pounds on an nb is just crazy.
Almost lighter than my AE92 GTS FWD..i got it down to 2180 but thats with me in it i weigh about 185 so without me in it the car is under 2000lbs and i have a 3sgte swap in it... only makes about 350-380 hp depending on boost.. its a rocket though... I have had to put several transmissions in it though no drag racing for sure it breaks too easy
The seat comparison is like me and my dad; he hates when I lower his seat. Awesome vid. K-swap everything!
This would be an amazing build for you guys to do. Sorry that the Miata track series didn’t do better but I was glued to it.
I like this alot. Especially keeping the Miata 6 speed. Very well done
Nice car, nice driving skills! That looked fun-
Awesome video! Great job to my friend Lander.
That thing sounds absolutely awesome. Well done on the build
I know you’e not going to see this as the video is old and you certainly have notifications turned off, but your laugh at 7:35 says it all about this car. Looks amazing.
Awesome driving! Couldn’t get rid of the racer in you when you had that Porsche in front of you 💪
That was some fun looking driving!
Thought you were going to get that gt3rs for a moment there. 👍
LOVE this video. Currently swapping a K24 into my 99 and his power numbers should be about the same as mine which is super exciting.
This has set it in stone. I am going to K-swap my Miata at some point.
Heck. Yeah! I wanted a K swap after the last K Civic video but seeing and hearing one in a Miata makes me want it even more! Guess I need to start saving...
Clay DuVal the k24z3 is cheap now that u can use the miata factory subframe
@@lander917 Yeah I saw that on the K Miata site. Although dropping weight from the nose using K Miatas subframe would be nice
Love Lander’s car!! Right on that GT3’s butt in no time, wow!
Mint conversion - love it.
When you stopped commentating and just drive it, i could tell you were truely having some fun out there👍🏿👍🏿
Arthell Strobles lmao
I love it, I have a K20 in Juno LMP3 car and I have had an NA MX5, I would love a K20 MX5, nice vid.
This honestly seems like one of the most exciting cars you've ever driven. I think you gotta do the swap. B)
this is giving me ideas, because this looks like a lot of fun!
darkproduce15 It is a blast
Seen this thing in action at a local autox in miami last year, can comfirm it sounds and moves beastly!
It was fun watching a Miata putting pressure on a GT3RS.
Mathieu Levasseur yea the miata will be in the gt3 nightmares lol
So good had to hear it twice.
Nice swap,i think the important mods it doesnt change the weight distribution,i think most tuner forget about it
Great driving
7:32, That is what Miatas are all about!!!
dude, I was smiling during your track day. That GT3 upfront really made the vid. "K-swap your Miata.... It's the right thing to do."
That's all I could do was laugh when I went on a test drive in my now mx5 turbo. Anyways great videos keep it up from London England.
My man was pressssssing that GT3. This miata is so sweet.
That was SO good!!
I really want to see this channel do more of the track drives
That Miata is crazy! Lander has such a Dad bod lol. His laugh is hilarious:)
Sweet car +presentation....loved it.
That looked so much fun
I love it. Mazda’s are better with Honda Engines
Most cars are better with a Honda engine lol
Nice miata set up
Could you guys try a Jseries swap? Intriguied to see a Honda V6 put through the paces maybe with Turbo or Supercharged power somewhere
That looked and sounded like fun..
Brings tears to my eyes. I think I found my next project car
Kickass KMiata 🙌✨✨
Man that laugh when you started to power slide was soo funny... Sounded like someone getting tickled lol
Very cool, I love it. I just learned about the Miata K swap today (a video just showed up in my feed here) It's interesting. My question, how is it possible because to the best of my knowledge, all the K series Honda engines (except the S2000) are FWD, how do you convert a transverse FWD engine to longitudinal RDW for the swap? Thanks
Here for Curtis motion bits. Legendary miata mechanic 👌🏾
Cesar Rios legend hi is
Cant possibly re watch and re like this video enough haha
7:31 A grown man making those noises, I think he's having fun.
Such a smart build. That motor is dead nuts reliable.
GeorgeGreen I love it
GeorgeGreen thank you
I don't get the Miata, but just looking at you in front of that car and you look like a giant. Cool engine swaps and great channel 👍
Watching you race this car made me smile lol
Lander drove all the way from MIAMI in that thing?! Wholly cow, I like your channel boys, but that's next level!
I actually towed it in my dads 1500 it was a long drive lol
@@lander917 Hahaha, ok that makes me feel a lot better! 2000 miles in that stripped out Miata maybe would have made you leave it in Canada and just fly home! LOL
jandmwheeler I am convinced if I had driven the car there I be deaf by the time I got there lol
935kg with over 200hp... that’s goin’ to be FUN everywhere!
Federico Barutto it is. I think the spring rates are a in the middle setup
I think MB's with NA deck lids/ trunk look nice and almost Viper like.
Haha. Looks so fun. Sounds awesome!
Woah, that thing reminds me of the Exige I drove on Silverstone. Even an idiot like me could catch a ferrari in the corners and watch them disappear down the straights. On a track like Silverstone a pro driver could build up momentum and smoke everything in a car like that. Nice handling. Really sharp. Sliding about without losing much speed... yup... just like that first gen exige I drove.
K-swapped ANYTHING = school child laughs
Every time I hear a k swapped Miata it reminds me of my NA with headers and FM duals.
how does this channel not have 1m+ subs?
My first car was an 04 Honda Accord. Pretty sure it had a K24A8. Back then I didn't realize what I had cause damn do I miss it...What a motor Honda created with the K series.
I bought it at 129k miles, gave it a tune up to start with, K&N airbox filter. First gear was lowkey a monster, could keep up with 5.0s till about 40mph 😂 I wish I saved money and gotten a tune for it instead of dicking around ricing it out.
Minus the hot air intake this thing is awesome!
This car is so much fun to drive.
I live to hear DP laugh like that
I have a 2017 124 Spider Abarth in the Miami area!! Guess what, I didn't even finish the video and I sent Curtis an email! Wifey is going to be pissed if I go through with this.
NVAUTO plug :) love all the GTRs in the background
Wow, 800/500lb spring rates with a 2000lb chassis on a 200tw tire? Car looked fun
Sorry nice car and nice video by the way. It looks fast and a blast to drive
I would love this engine in my NB😊
LOL!!! The GT3 driver probably heard you laughing!
Just awesome 😎 crazy car it’s loud as hell.
Damn that looks like a fun car!
i was literally thinking about this on my 99 haha
So when does your K24 swap get installed in your miata?
dam, i want a K series Miata lol that thing looks like a blast on the turns
I want a miata just like this.
Was there talk of sequential?
What box would that be?
It’s not a good video until you get that nervous laugh that DP always does 7:30 😂😂
Have you tried Flying Miata? Seems like they have to swap diff and trans just to make it reliable. I think something like 500+ hp?
What a badass car!
Watching you run down that Porsche was the highlight of my day
Cant you get some private track sessions on TMP to get real track times on all cars you review?
That engine noise 😍😍😍
The car needs some aero to run a bit cleaner in the high-speed corners
Please K-Swap the challenge Miata, fix the brakes and rear grip and let me put down a better time, please!!! LOL
Haha, deal! :D
I think I would prefer to see their continued work on the k-swapped 240. Particularly because of all the custom work they have put into that car.
@@erikmiles5536 we planned to get some episodes out on the K240 this summer but the custom oil pan took longer than anticipated. But we do have an episode on the pan and on a new big brake kit for that car in the works and we're contemplating an all-motor build for it next year.
Awesome, may be a racing rear wing would help greatly.
Leo Chang working on it
I have a built top and bottom end k24/20 and I’m getting a 94 Miata m edition so u can see what I’m tryna do
Kudos to the owner for hauling it that sorta distance!
Sarah Dell thank you sir thanks to the guys from speed academy for being awesome host
Lander Labrada Not a sir, but all is well haha.
Awesome Miata! I’ve contemplated this exact swap to replace both of my track cars, that are somewhat issue prone. Honda reliability, in a fun chassis is attractive!
Sarah Dell wow sorry about that lol and yea I have had a wonderful experience with the swap. Can’t beat Honda reliability with a all motor response. If you ever have more questions about the swap or absolutely anything else about it message me in my IG Lander917. Also I always put up autox videos on my channel.
There’s a company called MiniTec that makes a J-swap kit for significantly less $$$ than the K-swap. You guys have to sample one of those too before you go K24!
I had that kit in my 92 NA. Amazing amount of power. It dynoed at approx 260whp, but the generation i had had an issue with the oil pan sitting wayyy too low (it was about 2" off the ground,) and the design of the pan led to a lot of owners with cracks near the welds. if i had the chance to start over, i'd probably go with the k miata swap, its a more refined product, but thats just me.
For track use def k24 over j series. Lighter motor even lighter then the orignal bp motor. Would have a better handling balance
@@st520 skid plate wasn't an option?
Corey Funk I was between the k and the j and the Kmiata people had better costumer service and a more comprehensive instructions
Steven T that 2” oil pan was a turn off for me. Crazy
