1. Mitchel really built a great car to be able to keep up with a car of twice the power. 2. You boys can drive damn well. 3. Greg, you gonna start doing asmr videos with that mic set up
Alternate plan: swap on winter tires/wheels, swap in rubber floormats, install hardtop, and adjust alignment for less negative camber. Miata is enjoyed year round :)
going back to your first youtube and realizing what I just watched...I gotta say bro....you are the best guy ever..... i really enjoyed seeing you having fun and enjoying your awesome build.... i feel lucky that you inspired me through videos to build my NA, and being able to have normal private chats with you, asking a million questions and watching this video just the night before I go to the track doing precisely the same things with my lads brings up some strong emotions. cant wait to see the new NC build.... all the best bro...keep it up!!!
The battle with you was intense for sure. Your car is really tame for it’s power. It’s definitely set up good and you know how to drive! Can’t wait to battle with you on a road course 🤘🏻
Had a NC Club for 6 years. It's a brilliant car, you'll love it. Really just needs suspension + tires and a full exhaust w/ tune to totally transform it into a competent track car.
That NC is actual seat time goals, every project car has issues but I feel something like that would just be so reliable and an absolute blast to drive/practice with!!
Sick!! I’m stationed overseas right now but I’ve been watching your videos and i just wanna say I’ve learned soo much from you! You know your stuff and when I get home, my 93 Miata is getting major upgrades!
OMG, been waiting for your next video forever!!!! Merry Christmas, and we know you have a family and a real life, but Geez.... soooo long between releases!!! Every day I look to see if you posted a new one!!! This one is fantastic and really to the point... I love how you dropped everything to help get the NC sorted and back on the track.... I have an NA, but I think an NC is in the future for me...
see, having to put the car away has its advantages. perfect time to pull it apart for upgrades without having the distractions of wanting to keep driving it!
I have to say I haven't watched the video yet and I know you are more about wrenching but I absolutely love watching this car get ripped so more videos like this would be awesome!
Thank You Greg for the new vid, as I was suffering from withdraw!!! I was OUTSTANDING and looked like you had a BLAST!!! Thanks Again and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Honestly I'm just now hearing about the 2.5 swap on the NC and with some cams my gosh it sounds better than the 2.0 I might need to get me an nc now :)
Yeeessssss, can't wait for the nc stuff, ever since I drove one for the first time, I wanna see more and more of them. Also, your trackday makes me wanna get up and fix my shitty NA even more so I can drive the crap out of her again. Cant Beat that
I love NC miatas. They are pretty rare and relatively expensive in my country, but i like how they look and for what i know they have better performance and handling than stock NA and NBs.
Gladly both cars held up! Great comments about power tune for twisty track, Greg, learned a lot! Well, there is not much of a run-off margins for a car on a gokart track... Once you're out at speed just prey
Merry Christmas and thank you for the video. Was cool watching you at drag strip, but this is how I like to watch your car move. Canyon runs also, please more videos like this along with your how to videos!
Just put my miata away for the winter so the intro really hit home. Finally starting on the Turbo build, thanks for the inspo Miata Dad! PS - that track looked epic for a miata and your car seems dialed 👍
From someone who daily drives a 2.5 NC I love the car and am excited to see you build one. Also the the price of the g25-550 turbo kit makes it so hard to not have one... Probably my next mod after I replace this factory LSD with a Tomei.
AWESOME VID, GREG! (And yes: NCs are awesome, but don't tell anyone: it will drive the prices up.) All the best, Rob in Switzerland 2009 NCFL 2.0l Sport in True Red
This reminds me of my forumla V days , 3rd ,4th , 3rd. ....this is just practice for Greg before he goes head to head with Jos (money pit) he must have seen this ! Bet he is haven't a turd. Nice thing about NC is you can swap out the suspension with RX stuff $$$ . Thanks for video Greg motivation for me to work on my NB !
Thank you Greg! Finally some real action for the red beast! Also it looks like you are too far away from the steering wheel, it might help you gain more control if you get it a bit close. Merry Christmas Greg!
@TheCarPassionChannel Creg , that was the best christmas present we could have. Your miata is awesome , seeing your beast keep up with that 2.5 nc track preped car just how good your car is set-up overall . Regarding your brakes, I would suggest some hawk dtcs orto eliminate brakefade on the track but it is a far more agressive pad for the discs. Keep up the good work!!!
Mine is currently sitting in a garage costing me a shit ton of money BUT that's the beauty of not having a wife or kids...... merry Christmas from london England
Now let's see if it can keep up with my nb (new N/A motor) at scca autox? Next month at autoclub! Leggooooo Then we can shoot for a sub 2 at buttonwillow 13CW. Time to get airtime over phil hill
I drove my friends stock ND2 RF and I definitely prefer my NC's overall amount of driver feedback (and my exhaust + tune makes it faster than the ND2 as a bonus) Anyway, wanna buy my NC?
Hey Miata dad, Could you eventually make a video about camshafts ? There are people like me who want to change their camshaft but don't know much about them :( Like, which one would be great for street / dual duty / race, for example ;) 👍🏼
You’re the man! Super sick I aspire to build my nb like this. And might I add the nb that YOUR video helped bring to life. The timing belt video where you go “do I make you randy?” Lmao
holy oversteer batman! You guys would knock like 2s off your lap time with a little rear camber and some right foot restraint. For example (7:25) - look how much time the NC loses. Anyways it was looking like the NC had better entry speed, but when it was out front the NA matched pretty close
My car has plenty of camber. It gets to a point in a track build where it can’t really do both worlds good. As in short course/auto x VS road course. Which is what my car is built for.
Happy Holidays!!! I'm both excited and upset about your NC plan since I know I'm going to want one but only have 1 garage space and I'm not getting rid of my NA.
I know the feeling man, I'm basically maxed out just owning the NA and NB, I'm really hoping to move to a bigger place soon so I can get an NC and keep all 3
Miata dad with the best Christmas present of all!
1. Mitchel really built a great car to be able to keep up with a car of twice the power.
2. You boys can drive damn well.
3. Greg, you gonna start doing asmr videos with that mic set up
So close to a 42s lap mate, cheers for the great watch - Taz.
Yesssss, there is the NC confirmation 😍
They're just too good to ignore
@@TheCarPassionChannel damn right
@@TheCarPassionChannel and what about the rx8?
@@mathiasmang848 Rumored to be exceptional due to both having the same suspensions, but I haven't driven one yet!
Quinn at slip angle is building NC ....:-)
3 months?! **cries in 6 months**
We just cope by calling it build season.
This year for me it’s not even build season, it’s “I can’t wait to even be able to see my car” season because it’s being stored elsewhere this year :(
Facts 🥲
Alternate plan: swap on winter tires/wheels, swap in rubber floormats, install hardtop, and adjust alignment for less negative camber. Miata is enjoyed year round :)
@@ateamfan42 not anywhere that gets actual snowfall
@@norgepalm7315 Nonsense. We get plenty of snow here, and the Miata is my daily driver.

Looking fwd to you picking up a NC in the future 👍 cheers from Sweden.
God Damn those flat foot shifts tho
Money bags Greg renting an entire track!
Only a go kart track , on a mid week day , is like 2 track days at Willow Springs with all the crazy around you.
That NC is actual seat time goals, every project car has issues but I feel something like that would just be so reliable and an absolute blast to drive/practice with!!
Dude, long time subscriber, first time commenter. Thanks for all the videos over the years!
favorite video on this channel over the whole year. can't wait to see your NC build in the future!
> "250whp is just right for this go-kart track"
> Everyone with 120hp on COTA 😭
Sick!! I’m stationed overseas right now but I’ve been watching your videos and i just wanna say I’ve learned soo much from you! You know your stuff and when I get home, my 93 Miata is getting major upgrades!
as an NC owner, PLEASE get NC!! I would love to have the miata daddy start doing videos on them.
Great race! The NC is definitely less set-up for such a tight, low speed track but it still put down a very respectable time.
That reaction at the end 😂 Dolphins always coming in clutch 🐬🐬🐬
This channel deserves 10x the nr. of subscribers.
I picked up a 2007 a couple months ago so I'm hyped to hear you're gonna build one.
OMG, been waiting for your next video forever!!!! Merry Christmas, and we know you have a family and a real life, but Geez.... soooo long between releases!!!

Fucking finally on a track. I truly hope you enjoyed yourself. Stay safe.
Awesome shots, Greg... both your cars are amazing!
This was a fun watch. That lil track looks like a blast
loving the voice over and new mic set up !!
Greg making people reconsider engine swaps with all this power haha
I wanna see you do a thing with an NC.
Loving the NC plans!
I have to say I haven't watched the video yet and I know you are more about wrenching but I absolutely love watching this car get ripped so more videos like this would be awesome!
I saw him at TMP , Greg can drive the wheels off anything. The Dad has skills!
Yes man car battles are what we needed
Thank You Greg for the new vid, as I was suffering from withdraw!!! I was OUTSTANDING and looked like you had a BLAST!!! Thanks Again and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Dude, fellow automotive creator here, love the new format for the intro in this one buddy! Great step forward, IMHO. Cheers!
Honestly I'm just now hearing about the 2.5 swap on the NC and with some cams my gosh it sounds better than the 2.0 I might need to get me an nc now :)
Yeeessssss, can't wait for the nc stuff, ever since I drove one for the first time, I wanna see more and more of them.
Also, your trackday makes me wanna get up and fix my shitty NA even more so I can drive the crap out of her again.
Cant Beat that
That was a riot, great vid man. his reactions were incredible 😂
Brooo i am in love with your car !
Eg cant wait for the nc :)
Nice i have though about the flatshift setup myself but i didn't know it works. Nice to see it in action.
"It felt like a bomb going off in my car" hahahahahaha
I love NC miatas. They are pretty rare and relatively expensive in my country, but i like how they look and for what i know they have better performance and handling than stock NA and NBs.
That IRP shifter though!!
My car is already away for winter :( Keep up the great content, it’ll help me get through my time without driving my Miata!
100% here after reading the hot fire knowledge you dropped on the donut video! Got a new sub bubba
10:12 That dolphin cackle...
NC is definitely underrated.
Much love from WI. Snow does not stop me from my MR2 driving! Snow tires are god.
Eating tamales while watching the Miata pops, this is the life ✌️
I want an nc for my next car... you getting one will be perfect, as I can learn from you how to work on it 😁😁
You'll love the NC!
@@lifeofmike556 I hope so :) I checked out your channel by the way.. are you still planning on doing the 2.5lt swap guide?
You truly are inspiring man. The miata has come such a long way its crazy to see it being fully sent and over 400hp! Happy for you man 💯
Daddy’s back bois!
This just makes me want to buy an NC and pull the 2.5 from my Mazda 3 sooooo bad!
Gladly both cars held up! Great comments about power tune for twisty track, Greg, learned a lot!
Well, there is not much of a run-off margins for a car on a gokart track... Once you're out at speed just prey
I need to buy a NC now before Craig makes them shoot up in price
Merry Christmas and thank you for the video. Was cool watching you at drag strip, but this is how I like to watch your car move. Canyon runs also, please more videos like this along with your how to videos!

Awesome video Greg!
Great job Greg. Loved it. The proper way to push it. More like this 👍🏻
Mitch can wheel!
Great Christmas present! Definitely down with a 2.5 nc build!!
Excellent video Greg really captured the feel of the chase. That Miata is one beast on the track, well done.👍🏽😎

I have been glancing on a nc for a rotary swap, nice to see that it has alot of other options.. great vid and merry xmas Greg! Stay safe!
Great video, Greg! Time for some BIG AP Racing brakes?
Interested on how much it cost for the track rental
Now let's see if it can keep up with my nb (new N/A motor) at scca autox? Next month at autoclub! Leggooooo
Then we can shoot for a sub 2 at buttonwillow 13CW.
Time to get airtime over phil hill
Just signed up for my first track day at the end of March at buttonwillow and I’m pretty nervous with no track experience lol
I drove my friends stock ND2 RF and I definitely prefer my NC's overall amount of driver feedback (and my exhaust + tune makes it faster than the ND2 as a bonus)
Anyway, wanna buy my NC?
Hey Miata dad,
Could you eventually make a video about camshafts ?
There are people like me who want to change their camshaft but don't know much about them :(
Like, which one would be great for street / dual duty / race, for example ;)
👍🏼
Ah yes, Yardley and his (and mine) cursed NCs. Boating Buddies foh LIFE lmao
You’re the man! Super sick I aspire to build my nb like this. And might I add the nb that YOUR video helped bring to life. The timing belt video where you go “do I make you randy?” Lmao
Nice video greg keep up the good work hope seeing videos from you on a nc
Great video. Tons of fun.
Waited for this video and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you a lot for making this content. :D
Thank you man!
Zach Jobe reconsidering that CX Racing turbo kit right about now lol!
We have a group buy going on a “Bigger, Better Brake Kit” if you’re interested. Requires spacers for 15x9 but fit fine under 15x10
holy oversteer batman! You guys would knock like 2s off your lap time with a little rear camber and some right foot restraint. For example (7:25) - look how much time the NC loses. Anyways it was looking like the NC had better entry speed, but when it was out front the NA matched pretty close

Get you a clapped NC2 boi. They come with with forged rods and crank from the factory and the stock 6 speed can take the torque you wanna throw at it.
Turbo NA is like the meme with the cat and the peanut butter bread. Those words next to each other create black holes
Day 36 without a greg video.
The greg shaped hole is growing.
Love the vids man, can't wait to get an mx5.
Thanks for the Xmas present, Miata Dad! Merry Christmas and can’t wait to share some track time with ya some day soon!
the most important part of the video, what seat he uses!!!! so curious!
I’ve been waiting 🥺 merry Christmas
that NC is more in the 180-190 whp range, not 220. ps; one of my NCs is for sale :D
I agree on this. Those cams are more so to shift the power band upward. ~215hp at the crank maybe.
Bruh, for real, do a 2.5 NC. NC’s are growing on me so hard, so fast. Just imagining gapping mustangs in an NC puts a smile on my face.
Happy Holidays!!! I'm both excited and upset about your NC plan since I know I'm going to want one but only have 1 garage space and I'm not getting rid of my NA.
I know the feeling man, I'm basically maxed out just owning the NA and NB, I'm really hoping to move to a bigger place soon so I can get an NC and keep all 3
