I had a na miata and before i did any engine mods at all besides a intake and exhaust and coils i started drifting on dirt roads then graduated to wet pavement then to the road. People gave me so much shit for it but it was fantastic. Loved the shit out of it.
miatas are so fun!
Did you weld the diff?
Great information! I wanna get into drifting with my Miata, and I was so sure I would have to do a bunch of modifications to get it driftable. Apparently not, which is great for the wallet, as you mentioned!
Heckkk yah! Just get out there and enjoy it!
Informative for us newbies. Thank you!
No problem!
Its almost like its a more modern ae86. Miata drifter tried an 86 and said they do feel somewhat similar. Also on the topic of street drifting, from experience yeah its very hard in a miata. The turns don't flow as well as on a track so you need to handbrake a lot and use power to start sliding vs inertia
id killllll to drive a ae86, I'm a huge fan of late 80s Japanese cars and a ae has always been one of those cars id love to own or even drive realistically. my hand brake doesn't even work to be honest hahah i cant lock the back tires up with it at all.
what about the gt86 lol isnt that a more modern ae86
@@notsayingToyota can say it is, but realistically, the new 86 is it's own thing. Between the improved power, longer wheelbase, and it being designed as an enthusiasts car, it loses some of the shittier qualities that made the 86 beloved in the first place.
bruh ae86 weighs somehow the same as a nb n has 140hp while my ass is stuck with 100hp. And the open diff..... the open diff....
Cool!! Looking for a miata this year to start drifting again. Thanks for the info! New sub.
thanks man i super appreciate it!
Cool video, lots of valuable information, please do more Miata videos!
Greetings from Montreal 👊
Thanks! Howdy Canada!
hey i’ve taken pictures of your car at shenandoah im driving there saturday so excited to watch this video!
Yoooo! Let’s fuckin gooooo! I’m
Going to Capitol raceway Sunday to drift they are doing their first event there
My hero , appreciate the into , Bro ,
no problem! im glad to help!
Great video! Did you say you welded the diff? I'm also running an m edition na. It has 16" wheels, not sure how wide they are, but they are 205/45 500 treadwear. Any suggestions for 16" wheels? I haven't drifted it yet, only autocross. I wasn't planning to keep it. I was just going to run it while I finish my CRX, but I guess my friend isn't going to buy it, so I decided to learn to drift it. Would you suggest welding the diff or stick with the stock torsion?
10/10 recommend finding the shortest ration diff you can get for a reasonable price and welding it. i wouldn't weld the torsion they are worth a decent chunk of money. also for drifting i really recommend a 195/45r15 for the rear
Made your self a new sub!
I appreciate it boss!
thank the algorithm 🗣️🙏🙏
Love to hear that! thanks for watching!!!
K swap via the Element engine ;) Good video. Positive vibes to you!
I definitely have a few k series motors laying around and that’s definitely end goal for this car but we are gonna have to get these UA-cam numbers up for that haha.
No one should ever upgrade their clutch on a Miata na-nb. Your trans will never hold enough power to need it, and you just make the car more difficult to drive for no reason.
Trueeee. I just with i had a little more umph when i couch kick
Ehh I disagree. The stock clutch will definitely start slipping before the transmission pops. Even more true if we’re talking about the 6 spd.
Not true in the slightest. The clutch will slip when you turbo to the rods' limit of about 240ft/lbs, good chunk before the transmission dies
Should always make the clutch the weakest link because its the cheapest link to replace
I can definitely say that a hydro is only good for rain sessions. It foes kill your speed a ton otherwise. But we all know a miata gains like 300hp in the rain 😅. Although i am ready to ditch this damn torsen and get a welded instead. May be hitting you up soon for some knuckles if i decide yo not go with the destroy or die super knuckles. Currently 15x8+0 up front and waiting or the 10mm spacers to arrive. So dod super knuckles wont give me any issues with rubbing as long as the alignment is good
rad! im on some 15x7s up front with 2in spacers hahaha. ditching the torsen was one of the best things i did i think. a lot of people have luck with them but i never did!
@pop_pops_garage I've noticed the torsen really likes to open up anytime i hit a bump or a tire gets any kind of loss of contact. Had a few wild snap backs due to it 🤣 BUT man, they are great for touge styled runs through the backroads/canyons. May keep the toren on hand and just swap out the rear end depending on the driving style im doing that week. Here in texas i do a ton of street drifting when it gets wet out, or if its dry i have 2 warehouses im allowed to play around at. But i also make some trips up to Minnesota and Wisconsin gor some backroads racing with some buddies of mine and also hit up a few spots in Missouri along the way. Heck i may have to save up and get a winters rear end just for quick swaps.
As for the tires those 15x8+0 up front rub the front bumper and firewall when im on 205/50. Not sure if its just the brand of tires or not but instead of wasting money on testing fitments, I've just been running 195/45-15 federals up front for that extra clearance, and sending it with 5x7+35 wrapped in whatever 205/50-15s i can get my hands on. Figured the extra meat will give me a bit more contact patch for the rain days, and they seems to last a lil longer than any of the 195/45-15 I've ran in the rear. Still havent dialed out all the camber in the rear just yet either. Still relatively stock. Although i have been eyeballing st suspension 19mm rear sway bar recently. Im thinking it'll really help the car step out and hold it a bit longer. Currently just have rollbar, frame rail reinforcement, stock rear sway, no front sway, and on coils, and a rack spacer as of now 🤷 but she gets down! 😉
@@damarlo1 i really wanna make some rack spacers for my car! That will probably be the next update for me
@pop_pops_garage like the ones that level out the rack, or the washers on the tierods? I got the washers on hand if you need measurements
@@damarlo1 the ones to space the rack up more
I’m over here watching this video with a 1997 NA with 225’s in the rear 😂
SHEEE THICCCC
I got a 97 NA too bro
Wanting to get the NA for my first driftcar , they said it is much harder cause of its short wheel base , is it true?
yes they are a lot harder to drift than most other cars because of the small wheel base and lack of power. that being said if you can drift a 100hp miata you can drift anything
hey mate, whats ur sway bar setup? Thanks so much! awesome car btw!
no front sway bar (we where doing something and ended up cutting it out i don't remember why haha) stock rear sway bar! keep it simple! nothing crazy needed
Going faster than u normally would applys to all cars for drifting
To a point! A ls240 you kinda just pat the gas and it does the thing
great video! I just got an nd2 miata w 184bhp, do you think everything you said still pretty much applies? all inertia, dont bet on power breaking much grip?
ive never driven a nd but if imagine they have bit more power and it would be a bit easier.
Awesome video
Thanks!
Great video... I'm looking to get a miata.
they are a blast!!
Nice one bro🔥
Thanks!
What you’re describing around 13 minutes is a car that’s underpowered so why not recommend a cheap turbo kit?
In my personal opinion there’s no such thing as a cheap turbo kit. Also Miata’s don’t have strong transmissions or rears. Once your turbo a Miata it just spirals out of control. There’s definitely mostly reliable turbo Miata’s out there but they aren’t cheap. I like the idea of the more stock it is the more reliable it is and the more seat time you can get!
Okay so I don’t have power steering in my Miata do you think that I would have to put power steering in it
You wouldn’t NEEEEED it but it sure does make it a lot easier
Another question top G , the 2006 mazda miata a good starter ? Also
I think they are! They make more power than the nas
Quick question? I’m like 6’1 like 210 would I fit in one? Never drove one before so
I’m 6ft 200. I used a stock seat for a while but would definitely recommend a aftermarket seat on custom brackets
You mention welding the dif, I am trying to get into drifting but I want to be able to drive it other places too, is it necessary to weld the dif or can I get away with not?
some people have luck with the Torresen diffs! i didnt not have any luck with a torsen it was to unpredictable for me. is your miata a daily?
@@pop_pops_garage I don’t have it yet, but it probably would be
@@bodensharman8177 a welded on the street isnt as bad as alot of people make it seem tbh. just dont act like a idiot in the rain and they are fine
@@bodensharman8177 welded is not bad on the street man, i recommend you send it and you wont regret it, so worth
U sell those custom seats brackets by chance lol
I’m not but I’m sure i could make some more. Shipping would just be wild i bet.
Greta video - what state are you located in?
I’m in Maryland
just bought an nb, its auto but i do wanna start drifting in the future
Manual swap, coilovers, a welded diff, and send brotha
@@pop_pops_garage thinking about getting a miata lsd they are stupid expensive but i planned on daily driving it and i heard lsd’s also good for snow driving
@@fvkaciv if you want to drift the car I’d highly highly recommend against it. The torsen diffs don’t work very good for drift.
@@pop_pops_garage what's the best diff for drifting? my ND2 has the stock lsd
@@kurts2084 i have the 4.3 in mine and i love it! i wouldnt use the stock LSD id get another diff and get it welded
What to do with the diff if you want have the car also as a daily car?
I personally would still weld it i just wouldn’t act dumb in the rain and just be careful. Some people can drift the torsen diffs i just didn’t like mine at all
I own a Integra and well time for a Miata instead lol
Integras are great cars also! I miss mine. 2 polar opposites when it comes to cars. Each one is fun for their own reasons
I just bought a Miata and I want to drift it so bad 😫
Come to the dark side!
When he said v8 my brain when WTF that ain’t budget 🤣
hahahaha
You didn't install a baffled oil pan ? Ruined my engine cause of this, engine was lacking oil cause I threw the car really hard sideways and it ran dry for few seconds, engine out.. ^^'
I didn’t! I tend to monitor my oil pressure mid drift sometimes and I’ve never seen it fall. Same with any of the in car videos I’ve never seen it fall. We had a bmw that did the same thing and now I’m always scared of that. Maybe you where low on oil?
Hey what rims are those ??
i run a few different sets, normally my fronts are kosei k1s or enkie rp01
What year miata is the best for drifting ? Please
In my opinion nbs. I’ve never tried a nc out. The nbs are nicer than the nas. If you get a na get a 1.8 imo. Some people like the 1.6s though
@@pop_pops_garage thanks so much becouse of you i will buy a miata ✌️
@@Hugoscars 🖤🖤
Yeooo, what cheap coilovers do you recommend? Na8
I have a set of used teins on here right now and they do great. I’d just find some used ones
Where did u get that power steering cooler? Been wanting to do it for a while now
It’s just a universal trans cooler from advance auto parts nothing special!
Can i see what you did for seats im 6'3
I sold the car but i made my own seat rails. I may actually still have them. If you have ig shoot me a message on there and i can look later
Would all this apply to a 1.6?
yup! should all be the same!
@@pop_pops_garage sounds good my man. Thank you 🤙
@@paperboy371 np!
How many hp does it make ?
no clue, its never been on a dyno. What ever a 30 year old stock 1.8 miata makes haha
I wanna daily and drift mine on the weekends
100% possible! Miata’s are great
@@pop_pops_garage is it better to turbo the stock engine or go v8 swap
@@yesimraging depends on who you ask. i like stock and reliable. turbo miatas tend to break transmissions pretty regularly.
What wheels are those?
Koesi k1
im thinking about getting a miata for my first car but im not 100% sure if i should get a rx7 instead
miatas are infinitely easier to maintain and significantly more reliable!
sheeesh 13k views and 513 likes. CRAZY!
This is what feeds the whole channel 😭 if only i could get another one to work like this
What litre is that man?
1.8
So I should try and get a welded diff instead of the torsen I have?
Yeah i wanna know this too!
In my opinion yes! some people have luck with the torsen but i did not and a ton of people also feel the way i do about them. they are very unpredictable and seem to unlock if you hit a bump or get to much body roll.
see above comment
thank you. i'm thinking to buy a miata to learn drifting
they deffinantly arent the easiest to learn in but they are fun!
@pop_pops_garage I'm interested in drifting recently. I bought myself a 350z for it, but I never do it cause I love that car too much 😅 I'm worried about breaking it. I'm definitely going to buy a miata to learn, and it is so much cheaper to fix or buy 😁
@@louisnguyen3472 ohh bro drift the z!! they are the perfect drift car! tons of people drift them and daily them! they are way easier to drift than a miata
@@louisnguyen3472 as long as you don't crash, you won't break it man.
I need some knuckles built! Can you ship?
yes i can! just shoot me a message on Instagram!
If i could complain about one thing, it's the number of times you day "uhm"
I literally stopped watching it 7 minutes in because of that, like just pause dude, breathe, and keep talking. Love the content, but the verbage really needs work.
This is an older video, check out my new stuff
do you have discord? I am looking into drifting a miata soon and would love to chat
I don’t have a discord :/ feel free to message me on ig any time though
