Relaxing Lo-Fi Miata Brake Job DIY 🔧 No Talking | Wilwood BBK Hawk Pads Rotors
After the last track day my brakes are shot, we've got metal grinding somewhere. Now, I've made install videos for the Wilwood Dynalite front BBK and the rear Flyin' Miata adapter sport upgrade (links below), so this time I shut my yap and do this in the chillest way possible ... to Lo-Fi.

You're awesome, im useless😂☠️
chocolate milk had me cracking up lol
The white plastic part with the posts you mention is for the self canceling turn signals
I got both the jump and a senate inflator for 160 on Amazon.
Its enough? 2 ton jack for id4 about 2.3 weight
Do you need to remove the fluid if you are just changing the rear seal while it is still on the car?
Ya, drain the trans oil before changing out the rear seal. Otherwise, once the driveshaft comes out it's gonna make quite the mess!
It looks like the holes on the frame rails of the car align with the R theory frame rails. Am I seeing that correctly? This should actually allow dirt and water to escape from the frane rails and not lead to corrosion. Correct?
It's been awhile but I'm pretty sure they didn't align. The frame rails don't fit so precisely that there's no gap to the rails so the water should drain. To be safe, off camera, I filled the frame rails with Fluid Film.
Love them!
Thanks for your channel!
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for your great video!
Love your channel and all the hilarious but informative information!
Dude! You are so awesome, thanks for binge-watching my channel! Glad you're here, there's more to come this year, stay tuned
I love it! Great custom mod!
Looks incredible! Great job!!

Great video and information! Thanks for your channel!
They look great!
Thanks for all the great videos!
Love every video! Great channel!
Love your channel!
Love the hilarious and helpful content! Thank you for your channel!
I like the relaxing format in addition to your other videos! When i first did my brakes in the back, that parking brake adjuster was a PITA! I've stored my miata for the winter but you're making me miss it already haha
Agreed, I don't love that adjuster. In fact there's a few small O-rings in there that leak fluid too 😔
Nice vid brotha! 🤙 super chill and great angles
great video, helped immensely
also dont forget to readjust your clutch pedal after installing a new master cylinder
Holy shit that’s crazy!!
Dude… WTF? 😂 This was the best fucking video ever and left me hanging!! Where’s the next video???
Thx dude, appreciate the support! Check out the full Ecotec Miata build here: ua-cam.com/play/PL1T6TdhvTHqsL78dRMF5M-GSJEPMijaaX.html
Love this!! Great video and love the lofi idea
7:02 a 22 inch line wrench. What a whopper. 😌 Thanks for taking the time to make this. It's extremely helpful to see what I'm going to be looking at ahead of time.
Lol, you were actually paying attention! I'm flattered ☺️
Holy cow man. THE BEST quality car vid I’ve seen in ages. The camera quality, the way you fully detail everything is EXACTLY what guys like me need. You just earned yourself a smack on the subscribe button my humble sir. Thanks brother! Cheers to you!
Hi this video seems helpful I wanna add the kit to my Miata but I’m not sure what fuse kit to get ATM or ATC? How do I find out which one my car needs? Ty!
Pretty sure this NA Miata uses "mini" APM/ATM fuses on the interior. To be sure pop the fusebox cover off your driverside foot well, pull the fuse and compare the size.
@@mostlyuselessgarage thank you merry christmas/happy holidays
Completely destroyed my jack
Love this car and his setup. Dream build for me. It’s like a modern ac cobra. I just wonder why, with him being a Honda guy, he didn’t go with a NA or turbo k20/24?
15 years ago Miata Kswap kits didn't exist, or at least not well documented. Not to mention he'd been planning and buying parts for some time prior to that. We are lucky these days that so many established swap options exist for a Miata and are reasonably affordable. Thx for the comment!
What sides are the an fittings from the line to the slave cylinder? I'm having trouble finding the right one
I'm not sure what you mean? Like which side is the 90° vs straight? Or what size of AN fitting to use? Either way the Goodwin kit comes with the fittings and the line can go either way, the size is the same on both ends.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but your tires were all mounted on the wrong sides of the car - need to switch sides, as they are directional. Might give poor handling, especially under braking if left on the wrong side (in addition to increased chance of hydroplaning and tire wear). 😁. But still a great video! Those pads… you sure like to get your money’s worth out of products!!! 😂 And, despite your best efforts, this video still spoke to me. 😉
In a previous video I swapped the tires from side to side to go for a PB at the track. It went 1 sec faster, likely due to one side being more cycled out than the other. Good eyes! Thx for the comment!
I prefer the witty comments. Less art, more you.
Appreciate your concise and encouraging feedback!
Little bit of gardening, little bit of fireworks, LOL
Hi, just a quick question. I have kobalt impact wrench with 250ft-lb/275ft-lb. Is it strong enough to lift up mazda cx30 using scissors jack? The weigh of cx30 is around 3450lbs. Thank you for your answer.
My low torque Ryobi has about the same specs and with my scissor jack I'm pretty sure it would struggle to lift 3500lbs. I would buy a larger scissor jack to reduce the required initial load
@mostlyuselessgarage so in your opinion, is mid torque impact wrench around 550ft-lb good enough for 3500lbs car?
Lovin it...just need an animated cat to walk in and curl up and go to sleep. 🙂
Dang, great idea! A missed opportunity 😭
Those rear left pads 😵
Still good for another track day, ya?
Need to have a couple really bad dad jokes slipped in at random:) great video editing
Want even more fun, do this at a racetrack ! Lol❤
That's how you turn a relaxing job into torture 🤣
@mostlyuselessgarage Haha
Winter projects?
Built up my new to me NA,cause I crashed my previous Turbo.
what did you do with the titanium connecting rods? this was a dry sump engine, what did you do, trash all that?
turned a 427 into a 350 ?????
The builder had a spare bare block
Correct, I bought the used remanufactured LS7 bare block from the builder and transferred most of the original LS1 build parts to it. I took the opportunity to upgrade the internals to make it reliable for track use.
Have you found any other good Miata stuff on AliExpress or temu?
I've bought Bride-style material for the door cards and a shift boot and some shift knobs. Happy with them all. Open to suggestions if you've found anything good.
What plumber did that heater core line
Right? Functional track DIY at its finest
@@mostlyuselessgarage 100%
How does that thing hookup with a 90 to 10 weight distribution lol?
@7:19
That destroked ls7 is sweeettt
Love to see built Miata’s with soft tops
Super interesting motor. I missed some of the biggest info though. Not sure if you mentioned it. What is the displacement, and where does it redline?
You're right I didn't include that ... it's a 5.8L or 354.5 cu.in and the redline is 7200rpm. Great question!
Does seam welding help every car or is it a specific thing to either make, model, age, or some combo of all three? For reference, I recently solved my car situation by buying an 03 Accord coupe 6-6 with 68k miles but some body damage and a creature comfort issue or two.
I can't speak to every car benefiting from seam welding but in my experience with NA and NB Miatas it greatly improves the structure between the firewall and rear bulkhead. I think Flyin Miata's channel has a video that talks about the specific areas to reinforce if you're thinking about it.
@@mostlyuselessgarage Really curious what it'd do to my Accord, but I really just gotta have a daily right now, lol. MF ain't even got good tires on it, let alone performance treads that are beneficially wide.
