I think you found out why the smoking tire guys stopped doing viewers cars. Unfortunately

@Doctor_Robert Ай бұрын

God, I remember that video! 1980 Camaro and when Matt found out the brakes were diseased, the air was so thick with tension you could cut a knife through the owner-child's dumb laughs. I made the mistake of emailing Matt for a OneTake _after_ that video and to his credit, he did personally reply me with a decline. That whole era aged the man like milk.

I bet you are glad this didn't have the 3.5 or an LS when that throttle got stuck. Glad you everything turned out alright.

@kiraleaf 24 күн бұрын

A newer fly-by-wire car with the throttle going haywire is a nightmare. You have very few options, and if it keeps going with the handbrake locked, you try to look for something soft or a way to ditch it or spin it out safely.

I remember in my shit heap 96 M edition, bone stock car the throttle cable got stuck wide open while I was on my way to the premier of Infinity War. Put the key to ACC, put it in some grass, stood on the brake and feathered the e brake, took a minute to breathe, fixed it, and went on to my movie. Also I had front row seats to the imax premier, so Thanos was 90% chin and I couldn't stop thinking about the wide putin meme

Thank you Zach, really makes me think of that custom Mazda 3 you drove a couple years back. I was wondering if you have an itch to build another car again?

@stenooo2439 28 күн бұрын

You get what you get when you drive project cars. Agreeing to drive someone else’s car means you take that risk of something extremely sketchy happening. You handled the situation really well dude. Love that you didn’t flame the guy for his throttle cable messing up when you did your pull. Lots of keyboard warriors with hate because his car fucked up, but like I said. You take that risk when you drive another persons project.

Ah, good lines on the NB, the 'Sassy' Miata. I don't like the NC as much, despite its technological improvements it just doesn't look as good as the old NA's or a classy NB like this example, which have always been pretty easy to modify and personalize with available upgrades.

@bwofficial1776 Ай бұрын

The NB is slept on. Everyone wants the NA and its pop-ups but they've become expensive and scarce. The NB is overlooked because it's "the one that got rid of pop-ups" even though it's closer to the NA than the NC. The NC and ND are modern and complicated.

@cartercoffin3679 Ай бұрын

Dang, that was exciting. Maybe you should have more major malfunctions in review cars. Spice it up a bit😉

@tylersmith7054 23 күн бұрын

I’m putting the finishing touches on a swap (not a Miata) and this is a little anxiety inducing. I used an aftermarket throttle bracket and cable adapted to the stock pedal and firewall pass through. Swaps with DBW setups make a little more sense to me now.

My rug let loose on my 96 Miata once and jammed the accelerator pedal cable in traffic. I had to go neutral, cut the motor and drift to the side to unjam it. Was NOT fun :D Nicely handled sir!

Seafoam deep creep would probably help with the stuck throttle, that's if its being stuck because of gunk and ot corrosion

@sheldonlamey7010 27 күн бұрын

I love how the car enthusiasts from other brands are using up the extra Honda engines laying around....that will keep the engines going for a while ( if they are maintained well)....the owner should also cap off the inlet on the Power steering pump.....the pulley looks cool and adds to the front of the engine.

One of the most simplistic oil changes you can ever do with the oil filter right in front

@dlthompsonii Ай бұрын

No such thing as a perfect car. They all, even the unmodified ones, will let you down at some point. Glad you were safe. Now maybe I can put the 3.5 out of a rear-ended Acura RL into a Miata. If the 3.2 fits it should also. Who needs power steering in something that small anyway, right?

@jv6miata 25 күн бұрын

the RL's 3.5 is way wider than the j series

@sheldonlamey7010 27 күн бұрын

The owner probably should have gone with a JDM J series engine from those places that sell them. U S spec engines are usually very worn because we drive more here in the U.S. Im not sure if the engine is USDM though but its something to consider.....all the best those engines usually last a long time with good maintenance.

@averyalexander2303 Ай бұрын

Yup. No reason a swapped car can't be reliable, people just tend to half ass stuff instead of spending the time and money to do it right, which often means making custom brackets for stuff like throttle cables to prevent things like this from happening. I have been daily driving my K24A2 swapped Civic for over 2 years now, redlining it almost every time I drive it, and have had zero problems related to the swap. Never once did I wonder if I'm going to get where I'm going, I'd drive it across the country right now without a second thought. It's amazing what happens when you take the time to do something properly!
