Thank you for not adding loud music over all the footage and letting us hear the car. I was down there in July in my NC, Hope you had a chance to do Hellbender, the Cherohala Skyway and the Foothills parkway while you were there.
Just picked up my first MX-5, also a 2001 NB2 LS 5 speed with no ABS. As a former S2000 owner who has been to Deals Gap several times, I can't wait to take this MX-5. IT is harder to get into trouble than the S2000!
@@BartSparrow123 yokahama adven fleva, 205 all around. it was probably like 85 degrees. I may have had too much psi in my tires. Also the road was recently paved and i noticed it being more slick immediately.
@@tonysinigur Meh, makes sense. I actually might be getting those same tires on mine as they are the best tire for the price I can find and I want something that can handle our summer rain storms and last 20K miles. THanks!
Your videos are making me want a Racing Beat muffler. I currently have a resonated midpipe and an M2 Motorsport muffler with the stock headers and cat. I'll be fitting a 200-cell high flow cat soon, but the M2 muffler is known to become raspy with HFCs. A Power Pulse may be in my future lol
Its up to you, I’m happy the car came with it and i didnt have to do alot of messing around with exhaust setups. I think my setup sounds pretty good for na
@@tonysinigur Here's what mine sounds like right now with the stock cat ua-cam.com/video/knN-RPp9wc0/v-deo.html. Far too low pitched for my liking, I got up to 7K RPM while pulling away in 1st gear in that video, but it sounds like 5k at most
Can you expound on why they pulled you over? Were they sitting at that pull off spot and simply noticed you driving "aggressive" but did not actually lock your speed on radar? Seen lots of cops up there and definitely a bad time to fly is in the lulls in the afternoon once most of the traffic dies down. We even used to do a few night runs and never saw cops at night, granted you can't push it at night due to visibility issues but it's peaceful!
@@BartSparrow123 i almost crashed like 500 feet away from where the cop was chilling. Im sure it was all the tire noise from completely loosing traction. He didnt see anything or catch me on radar. Simply just heard me since it was a quiet morning. I didnt want to argue since i was still pretty startled from the near crash. Pretty unfortunate but it was just 100$ so it is what it is.
@@tonysinigur I would have told him "I had to swerve and brake because deer ran across the road". Isn't a lie...you surely saw deer at some point that day... 🤣

congrats man! I got in trouble on my last day in the Miata. I would love to experience an s2k on the tail!
@@tonysinigur Curious what kind of tires you were using and what was the temperature that day? They were noisy! haha

@@willwastakencar sounds good!
@@tonysinigur May turn out raspy with the HFC. I'll post an update video when it's fitted
That new pavement is noisy!
@@jimjohanson8152 and more slick, i got pulled over due to the noisy roaf

@@BartSparrow123 i saw three baby bears cross the road a few miles back. I definitely could have used that. I didnt think of it in the moment😭
Dam bro , I wish we had roads like this in India. I'd love to take a drive like that .
