oh yessirrr

just like my girlfriend, has issues but I still hit it, real boyfriend.

I do that with my truck

Lmao I felt that 🤣🤣

Lol, true. I had an RX7 and would smoke em on the top end and was ecstatic. I have a Miata now as project car I am gonna turbo to surprise some BMW’s possibly, but I bought it for fun really, not tracking it.

*Sorry eh

Hahahaha! Speed academy - exonerated

It's good to get feedback on some of the products used on the build. Some parts just ain't up to the job. I'd be very interested to see how the the big end bearings look when he does the piston rings.

Oh it was working just perfectly when I bought it from you. It's only because every BMW I touch turns to crap immediately. -Thomas

@@ThrottleHouse Dear Thomas, have you ever driven an E28? That car would suit you so well. A BMW built in the 80's, that still has 60's styling cues shining through, and handles and drives like a 70's Gran Turismo, with a plush and comfortable ride. A timeless, understated classic, yet highly addictive once you're behind the wheel.

Sir I agree with you and I like your choice of car in your profile pic I have a red one

@@elliottthompson4834 Thanks. Don’t have this anymore due to a collision that ruined it. I wish they still made these MazdaSpeed3s in the new shape but they don’t so I bought a GTI Rabbit last year. But I liked the speed a lot more. Anyways, waiting for the warranty to finish so I could mod it.

@@YODA0786 it wont be manual but the 2021 mazda3 is coming with an aero kit, turbo and 250hp/320tq option. Theres always hope with mazda

@@Tassholio I’m very aware of that. Just I do prefer to row my own gears. Besides, I bought the GTI a year ago. The new Mazda3 Turbo came out this year.

@@YODA0786 that’s so shit I’m sorry bro they’re mps’ where I’m from absolutely rapid I love them it’s my first “car guy/petrol head” car

Anybody can do those comparisons, drive the cars and say the numbers and stuff but the the delivery is what makes or breaks it. Thomas and James do the perfect mix of actual substance and content with a video you actually want to watch even if you weren't that into cars.

@@ThePussukka they say even on television, chemistry between the presenters is one of the most difficult things to build. These guys have it in spades!

Yup im a OG

Me too (og)

What's wrong with a convertible? Z4

@@Mark1Mach2 heavier less chassis rigidity

Exactly what i was going to say

I make the same request for instrumented testing on every video that they make. I love their videos, but this is a consistent flaw. Show the numbers! It's OK if they aren't the best on the internet.

To know "What exactly happened" right??

@@deanmcmanis4862 they show who's better not really the car's numbers

its a miata. Nobody needs to see it's 1/4 time lol

We need a vid on the e46 330 ZHP. Those have to be putting out over 250hp as their quarter mile time and 0-60 is insane for their quoted hp figures.

Ben Andersen as good as it handles, the Miata has and always will be a chix car......or SCCA poseur....

@@fatbroadshorsefacedlesbian8619 miata is the ultimate drivers car

To be perfect it should have a coupe option (not a hardtop convertible, a true coupe body) and 200-250hp

@@olorb2618 maybe for Asians who are small and need their cars to fit in tight spaces. I barely fit in the miata lol

Z06 is always the answer.

and add Matt's (Carwow) Miata into the mix as well. Bit tricky for Matt though since there's a pesky Atlantic ocean between him and the others.

And Phil from CT.

And Miata dad, my boy Greg Peters (carpassionchannel)

@@scottfrost7178 if i could see greg race his mx5 i would be in love. I want to see how fast it is considering it has so many mods. Love his stuff.

@@ultraguy8771 i nearly fell for that xD

I have a completely stock ND1, I was absolutely blown away how well it hung with the M3 on the straight, Granted yeah that's a High mileage motor but that's still extremely impressive for an ND1. Was not expecting it to hang that well at all on the straight.

I think the video made it look a little closer than it was... M3 is probably a little slower than it should be... but stock vs stock M3 is almost a second faster in the 1/4 and traps about 8-10mph more ... which is a pretty wide margin

or even more obvious with a e46 coupe in good shape...

That would be interesting

Canada's finest.

These guys are better than straightpipes imo

Who?

@@andrzejnowak863 Yeah was a while ago i dont remember names but guy one the left was my art teacher for grade 7 middle school lol

Clearly don’t get the bmw unless you want a project car. And that’s coming from a bmw lover

Get an e46 that’s not clapped out and you’ll be fine.

Dude, you would think that Thomas says all that crap about the BMW just for the comedy, but nope. I don't own an E46, but I own an E36 convertible. Not even an M3, just a 28i with some mods, and... well, what Thomas says is just about right. Always something wrong, always something to do. The ND is a new Miata, but even NA Miatas are way less problematic even though they're also old. Just the rust. The damn rust. But in the end of the day, a BMW N/A inline 6 from the 90s and early 2000s will make you smile every day. I love my car, but it's not meant for daily usage at this age (even though I do use it almost every day when the weather is nice). I did drive Miatas, not the ND, but NA, NB, NC, with different engines, even drove an NB with a turbo and around 200hp. Of course, much fun, but a 4pot will never match the straight 6, and in a convertible, the sound of the engine is a huge factor of having fun. I drove many E36 and E46 convertibles (me and a friend of mine made a club in our country where we do car meets with only E36 and E46 convertibles), even a 320i with the 2.0 litre, not-so-strong 150hp, but still straight 6 engine makes you smile, even though it's actually quite slow. The character is all there, and for a spirited sunday drive, that's what you need the most. The V6-swapped Miata, Phil, from CarThrottle... now that's one I would try though, might fix the one problem I have with Miatas. The Miatas are also amazing to drive on twisty roads from the factory, they are light and the suspension is great. My Bimmer is not light. 1400+ kgs, with me in it, it's past 1500. But with a good suspension setup (which I have), it not only eats stock Miatas but GT86s as well. So yeah, there is potential and great fun to have in these old Bimmers, but be prepared for a shitload of problems. And they never really end. You can just have good times until the next issue.

Yeah, a K-swapped MX-5 would definitely be a mean project. The E30 is a legend at this point, and costs insane amounts of money to buy for what you get, but I did try many of them, and the E36 is overall a more enjoyable platform. More rigid (even though the E36 isn't the most rigid car neither), feels much more stable when driving on the limit. If we lived nearby, I would offer you to take a trip in mine. Around 225-230hp (never measured on a dyno, just guessing from similar setups), rev limiter @ 7200, fully rebuilt engine, M50 intake and some other mods, custom ECU. 315mm EBC brakes in front, Powerdisc + ceramic on the back. M3 suspension setup with strongflex bushings and mostly eibach parts. Pilot Sport 4S tires. Some modifications to the chassis to make it slightly more rigid. As a result, it can actually compete with the likes of the Toyota GT86. Awesome experience. Of course it cost me a ton of money to get it to this level, and also a lot of time (we made almost everything by ourselves with some friends, except for the ECU and the chassis stuff). Perfectly usable - although quite stiff, of course - on the daily, excellent fun on the twisties, and we've been on some track days, too, it coped with that as well. E46 is an even better platform if you just wanna go fast, of course - much more rigid -, but it's too modern for me. The E36 has that analogue, OG feel to it, I love the feeling it has even in stock form (although it has to be good to provide what you want from it, most of them are too run down). I also like the design, I know many people still hate on the E36 but for me it's 2nd best to the E31 when it comes to "modern" BMW (overall it's the 507, of course). I can't afford to have two convertibles, I already have this and another hobby car, but if I could, I'd definitely build a Miata with some kind of engine swapped in. The K is a great idea, I really like Alex's Phil from Carthrottle as well. The only problem with that for me is you can't get papers for any kind of engine swap where I live, absolutely impossible to drive a car like that on the streets, even my E36 with the mods I mentioned takes some "persuasion" to get through our kind of MOT, even though it looks bone stock if you don't look at the wheels and big brakes. And if I wanted a track-only car, I would choose a base with a solid roof.

@@cowmath77 Motorbikes are a different world for sure. Once you taste what that's like on a good bike, and you learn how to ride somewhat properly and confidently, it's hard to get the same sensation from a car :) I have a Ducati, too. Although just an old Monster 600 but I love it. Doesn't even work, been sitting for 2 years now, gonna try to fix it up this winter. Car project took all my time and money, the E36 is kind of a childhood dream car of mine so it's a different story. I guess I shouldn't get a better bike since that would make me fall out of my cars right? :D

Even then, that M3 is STIFF. Miata would probably still lose, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Miata still good car.

@DC Williams It would wholly depend on how tight the track is. If it's closer to an autocross course, then yes the Miata might have a chance. A track with long straight aways and wide sweeping turns, the Mata would have zero chance.
