Continuing the modifications to my ND2 Miata to show real results on the racetrack. How much time have I dropped from the stock setup?
Do I recommend getting grippy tires for your car? The question I have for you is, do you want to maximize your car's potential?

5 seconds with pads and tires, nice! Driver mod along with these two mods are the most important for the track. Nice driving.

Man those tires were SQUEALING for their life! It's so crazy how much great tires improve handling. And yeah you should really get an alignment! Flyin Miata has some alignment values that can be a good starting point and you modify it based on your needs.

I actually had the pressures way too high. Took it out today and dropped another 7-8 PSI than what I had in this video. Still no 1:29.xx time yet but was .2 tenths off and can find the time for sure! It was HOT today so that didn’t help but it’s there.

Nice video! What is your camera and mount setup? I’ve been mounting my GoPro to the rear glass in my ND but I like your pov setup.
@VictorPitstop
@VictorPitstop 2 ай бұрын
I have stick on base mount for the GoPro and a short extension joint that’s maybe an inch long coming from the base that I test pivot before each video. The GoPro is right above my brow. It helps that the helmet I use has the eye shield slide into the helmet and not right above it if that makes sense.

My s001s lasted about 8000 miles. I noticed an improvement in wear once I went from toe in to zero toe in the front and cut rear toe in by half. Put Conti ECS 02 on and they’re fantastic for a street / light track tire.

I cannot wait to get an alignment done. It’s funny how much of a difference it makes and is even funnier when you see how bad it is from the factory before they adjust. I used to run Contin DWS06 on my Audi S4 when I had it and loved those tires. I haven’t tried any of the new conti’s yet but I think I have a buddy with the ECF. I’ll give them a go! I’m very a satisfied with these RE71RS so far!

@@VictorPitstop I bought the car new and within 50 miles I got an alignment to the flyin Miata specs. The car’s left side had toe in and almost no camber while the right side actually had toe out. Anyone who drives a ND needs an alignment for sure. After living with the FM specs, I got another alignment after putting springs and sway bars on. Now I run 8.5 caster, 2° F / 1.8° R camber, 0 front toe and 1/64 rear toe. You can just fling the car in and it takes it.

@@Accost2u I hear the caster adjustment helps the steering feedback a bit more. That’s not super crazy camber but I guess we don’t need a super aggressive setup with double wishbone setup. Definitely will stick to zero toe in front and a touch in the rear but will go a little more aggressive with the camber if I can.
@Accost2u
@Accost2u 2 ай бұрын
@@VictorPitstop the toe really helps making the steering even more aggressive for turn in. The caster helped a lot with weight directly off-center. I kept my camber a bit lower since it’s still a street car and I don’t want extreme tire wear. After springs the shop could get almost -3° F / R camber so there’s a lot of room to play with it once you drop the car.

@@VictorPitstop 👍 I hear sway bar upgrade does wonders in reducing body roll - I daily a NC and recently test drove a ND2 and the body roll in the ND2 was a huge turnoff for me so if I ever do upgrade taking care of that is first order of business

@@Janiix89 well, you drive the ‘best Miata’ so I can understand that. I had an ND1 with almost the same setup but I had swaybars and alignment done to it and it was amazing. I think I want to try something different this time with coilovers but I’m not 100% set on it yet!
