thanks mate

Remember when the internet was still young, and the boys would sit around the garage and go through their mods in less than a minute? And now its somebody's literal job to stretch that minute into 10 as charismaticly as possible, no matter how much it hurts ...
I think the difference is these days it's a lot of people's full time job.
Practicality: Ergonomics - things you are in contact no matter where you drive makes A LOT of difference every time you get behind the wheel.
1. Steering wheel
2. Seat
3. shift knob
4. Radio, ev. speaker upgrade
5. Lighting
Interesting choices.. I've done all of those mods on mine! Whilst doing the foamectimy one can also fit heated seat pads. They are a nice feature to add, easy to install & inexpensive to buy. Perhaps hotter climates might not need this feature.
Replacing my 1997's weak incandescent interior lighting with LEDs is a huge improvement that did even cost much money. My Pioneer single-DIN stereo with a pop-out touchscreen is another great upgrade.
If the Cipher steeringwheel had black hornbuttons, I would have bought it. I bought a Guardian Designs wheel instead. I like the OEM+ look and want to keep the airbag.
When I replaced my shifter boot, I also added a matching boot to my parking brake handle. It looks great.
Is the seat comfortable after a foamectomy? I like the lower height, but only if long trips are still enjoyable.
Keep up the good work.
Awesome video man!
that is a very nice Miata you've put together
-thanks for the video
Glad you liked it, thank you!
My first mod was ditching the steering wheel. The oem wheel is thin and not pretty. I have a no air bag Canadian model so a little less work. As for the air bag and safety. After 30 years do they still work and is really gonna help.
Hey mate, really like the fire extinguisher mount and was thinking of doing a similar thing in my build. I wanted to ask if you had any concerns on what happens if it gets pierced right next to you in an accident? Could it potentially be dangerous???
Definitely interested in the custom mats, shift boots and stuff you have done in yours. Looks great!
Awesome! I’ll work to start adding this stuff to my store soon!
@@CashedOutCars you are a gentleman and a scholar
The current seat belt socket in my miata doesn’t let it go through the bucket seat like yours. Where abouts would I be able to buy sockets like yours so I can have them go through my bucket seats rather than over them?
looks great! big improvement
Thanks man! I really like how it’s turned out so far!
nice video
Could you show me how to make the centre console leather thing
Where did you get the seatbelts? Mine are a nasty tan they are dirty and faded
Do you sit a bit more back with the raceseats?
I've got a ninety seven, and i've just kept it completely stock as I got it. I did put a new top on it. A tan cloth top. Much better looking than the old one. The other stuff you talk about I think it's so much b s. What I would really like is somehow make it easier to get in and out of for a six foot guy.
hey but how do i can install the gauge oil presure
I want those floor mats if you do or are going to make those do you have any red ones?
you can get battery powered stick on lights if you just need a tiny bit more lighting not wired to the car
What size is the steering wheel?
I added a battery powered magnetic dome light. I also had my stock seats refurbished.
if you add aluminum or a reflective tape behind the courtesy lights , and also upgrade to led you will have a somewhat useful light
Where did you get the fire extinguisher holder
I liked what you did .I hv a 96 leather 90K now. I made a tray for the console, brake lights center Flasher . Ram air, lexan wind screen,. But the trunk doesnt fit my glider.Other than that the best ride I ever have had. Still looks mint.
Thanks! Sounds like you’ve done some nice stuff to yours too!
So far the only thing I’ve done to the interior of my miata is put an NB2 wheel on it. Plan on getting a different shift boot since mine is torn, and also getting the drivers seat reupholstered with the kit you showed. Might do a foamectomy as well.
The cupholder delete on a NB facelift model would be hot too! I would take a good look on that ;-)
Since the NBFL has integrated cupholders, I'd have to think about how to do that!
Hi chum - 1) it would be really nice if you let people know what your first name is, so that when we write to you on your channel, we know whom to address. 2) Very nice video. 3) I especially liked your very clear diction (I thought you were perhaps Canadian because you sound like another YT-er I follow who is) I like your well thought out script AND that you are wearing a Lavalier mic, so your voice is very clear.
4) I have a 2009 2.0l NC FL Sport with about 40,000 miles and the following mods: 2-DIN Pioneer Naviceiver with touch screen, LEDs in all interior (and exterior) lights (except existing Xenon headlights). Illuminated shift knob with new leather boot. Door bushes to improve rigidity, shorty antenna. I would like to modernize the steering wheel for something slightly thicker and smaller, maybe with flat lower part, but it needs to accept all original switchgear (I.C.E. controls). I have the original leather/Alcantara heated seats. and won't be changing them unless they begin to look very very worn. The hood now has 2 gas struts - it makes opening it much nicer. No engine mods (160 HP is good enough in Switzerland - you can't drive fast anywhere) except a K&N air filter. I love your Enkei (?) rims. I also love the fire extinguisher you have. Many years ago I had a new BMW 5-series which had a fire extinguisher at the front of the driver's seat. I had a Ford Europe (=Mercury) Cougar 2.5 V6 that had one in the trunk.
5) I run my NC on 100 Octane (BP) or 98 Octane (other brands, favourite is Shell) because the EMU can let the engine perform optimally. Lifetime AVERAGE fuel consumption is 7.01 liter/100km = 33.55 miles per US gallon, 40.3 miles per UK gallon. Mix 40% Highway/40% Backroads/20% Urban. Backroads are the most fun of course! The HIGHEST consumption I achieved over 1 tankfull (after buying her in 2018) was 8.0 l/100 km = 29.4 miles per US gallon, 35.3 miles per UK gallon. The LOWEST consumption I achieved over 1 tankfull was 6.5l/100 km = 36.2 miles per US gallon, 43.46 miles per UK gallon. All the best, Rob in Switzerland
Can you put stuff under that “cup holder delete” or can you not access it that easily once you put it in? I’m usually riding around with one thing or another in there
Yes it’s easily removable, it just sits in the space that’s there. I haven’t had it fly off while driving. I put my phone under there most of the time!
@@CashedOutCars If you started selling them I would buy one!
I’d love to have a Miata but the radio is going to drive me crazy is there anyway to like upgrade it?
Yes! Check out my channel and I have videos on that :)
I put an LED strip in the middle of my roll bar with a switch next to defroster sw and one in the trunk lid too. I put tin foil behind the stock lights and cleaned the connections and switches.. doubled output. I installed bicycle bottle holders just under the knees on both sides of the transmission tunnel. They are cheep strong easy access, legs don't touch will hold bottles or flip top locking thermos but not coffee cups. Added clip over wider rear view mirror. Can't hear the blinker relay or see indicator lights behind my smaller NISMO wheel so mounted a multi color LED where I can see it. (Yeah I'm an old gear head and this my daily driver so I took out the racing seat the previous owner used...my wide ass stays put.)
That’s a great idea with the water bottle holders!
I installed new mirror with lights on driver and passenger area. There is a wire for it and came stocknwith it in 1991.
What's the toggle switch for beneath your radio? Ejector seat?
Exactly :)
(It was really an on off switch for the radio)
definitely should've mentioned a roll bar, but great vid!
I guess that does technically qualify as an interior mod! Thanks for stopping by!
What did You use to mount extinguisher like that? 😄
It's a Scosche product! bit.ly/2zIgBUU
And here's a video I made of installing it! ua-cam.com/video/xZavuM8Jefw/v-deo.html
I like those floor mats where did you get them, thanks
So I swapped a 5 speed transmission into my 6 speed Miata and I didn’t change the drive shaft then the transmission got torn up is this the reason that happened I wanna know before I buy another trans and driveshaft
I am 90% sure all 1.8L car’s driveshafts are the same, except for the MSM. Maybe you got a bad transmission? Are you running stock power levels
@@CashedOutCars yeah stock 1.8 the drive shaft always made noise and the bushings were shot but the only other thing i can think is that I snapped the bar holding the trans to the differential then got it welded back together so maybe that was having them miss aligned
Hi
What is the floor matress called. I like the leather matrerial where Can i buy it
Hi, these were custom made! All from scratch, my dad does automotive upholstery professionally
as long as u happy bro
That’s key with any build!
Hey what’s the roll bar you have?
It's a boss frog, double diagonal clear view, but they have since went out of buisness
Love the cupholder delete! Would buy
Thank you! I will work on making some to add to my store soon!
A better mod is the IL Motorsports center console which moves the cup holders to a more functional position on the right of the shifter while also giving you a longer/better center compartment. 👍🏽
Every video I see talks about hating on the cup holder. In my 92 having a cup in there just extends the armrest. I like it the way it is.
What kind of radio is that?
It’s a generic eBay radio, a 7012B!
For your own safety you should strap down the fire extinguisher with a bit more sturdy straps. I think rubber straps won't slow down the extinguisher very much in a crash.
This mount is an off-road racing proven mount made by a reputable company (scosche). I appreciate the concern, but I do trust their engineering on this one
Hi, friend. The video is awesome. Would you like to try our Boslla 4modes headlight bulb? I have contacted you both on email and Ins. Hope to hear from you, thanks.
yes
I need those Kosei's.... K1 ftw
Love em!
i crashed a 77 MGB and hit my face on the steering wheel. it hurt. bad. i think driving without an airbag is a bad idea.
If you’re removing the airbag, you need to modify or replace your seatbelt otherwise your face will meet the wheel in the event of a high impact front end collision
Yeah bottom line is I wouldn’t recommend removing it. It’s a big risk. If you do, you’ll want a racing harness, a HANS and a helmet to stay safe
What stereo is that
amzn.to/3DGcu9C this is it!

@@CashedOutCars love
Also what's the front Mazda logo called looks like FB rx7?
What about the nice cup holder I got you 😤
Dude should sell some floor mats and cup holder delete
I'll be working on adding those to my store soon!
Not first
2nd only to myself!
I don't really have much faith in an air bag made 30 years ago, that the manufacturer only guaranteed for 10
While I generally agree with that, I've had a few friends saved by the air bags in their NA
I'm certain your mom would rather you add that airbag back!
Hi
Your seatsbare blue
They are mildly faded at this point, they've seen a lot of sun
Don't remove an airbag for aesthetics. It prob saved my life or prevented serious injury when an idiot crashed into me.
buh-en lol
I wasted 7 minutes of my life.
You must not have been too interested in the video to start then :)
hahhahahah ... turning classic to modern car, what the point.
