NC Miata Willow Springs 1:31.08
My first full complete lap in my NC at Willow Springs International Raceway. This track is very intimidating but it is a blast to drive at the limit. I was able to put down a 1:31.08.

I wanna go to an electrical power steering mechanism. Just can’t find much on where to source the proper parts and what all truly needs to be done. Love seeing clean engine bays!!! Keep it up bro!!
Hit up K power. I think they are working on a EPS system for the k swap nc kits.
Did I hear you correctly in that other video that you’re running yoko 225’s on 10” RPFs and you were 3 sec faster??
Yup!👍🏻
does this work for na1?
No it does not. NC is a larger hub and a different bolt pattern at 5x144. NA and NB is 4x100
Hello Can we use rx8 abs sensor ?
I reused the NC sensor
@@MitchelYardley ok thanks. I used rx8 sensor but i have no abs and tacho... I will put nc sensor
@gregorygrandjean8820 yeah you’ll need the NC sensor. Your ECU doesn’t have the parameters to use the rx8 sensor.
Wrong hole! 😅
How are these holding up ? Would you recommend?
Still holding up good no complaints. If your NC is lowered drastically then I recommend!
How is it on the track compared to your previous coilovers? I'm using Bilstein B14 at the moment (got these with the car) and I'm thinking what's next for me. Definitely looking for something which is adjustable (B14 isn't).
100% night and day difference between my Feals and the Xidas. Having the suspension travel is so nice.
@@MitchelYardley Nice! From what I found, Feal seem to have similar performance to B14 (however they're adjustable, unlike B14). I'll be looking to buy a set of Xida once the budget is ready for it. Thanks!
Thank you. Just got them and was wondering if the shocks were going to fight me much 👍
How did the install go?
when buying it from the website in the description, does it come with 2 or do i need to buy 2? and also, does this include the wheel bearing? i'm going to try doing this myself, thank you for the walk through :)
You’ll need to buy 2 of everything unless listed differently. Normally these parts are sold separately
How long did it take you to do the removal of the engine?
First time it took me about 4 hours. I can do it now in about 2.
How big of a lift/level is on the truck?
It’s a 4” lift
Hey bro thank you for your content, have you felt you needed to depower your steering rack?
Hey there! I apologize but I’m not understanding your question
I have seen many NA and NBs when they delete the power steering pump they go and depower the steering rack, is it necessary to do the same for NC?
Oh I understand the question now. So I came from an NA Miata and hated the power steering and did the de powered rack. On my NC, what made me get rid of the power steering was the fact the pump was already failed and I didn’t even realize it. I drove a few friends NC with the same wheel and tire size and it felt much easier. So I decided since my PS isn’t working properly might as well just go to manual steering fully. I really enjoy the steering feel ONCE I added the roll center correction tie rods. It brought the steering back to almost neutral (where it felt when my PS was installed but not fully functioning). Sorry for the lengthy response!
Thank you for your time writing this response 🙏 Im following your build from Saudi Arabia and I am trying to make the same thing you do. My goal is to make my engine gain a little bit hp, clean engine bay, try everything else in modifying my NC and share knowledge with my friends (miata Saudi club)
Any issues with the sandwich plate? About to run one myself, but keep seeing horror stories of it
Not one single issue with the plate I got in the kit. No issue with anything about this specific kit either. Just works.
You passed Katelin in that gray/silver NB at apex of T1. Was that at a HOD event? Group C or D?
never mind..I see it was at the reunion..not HOD. I was there that day..but not on track in my miata
Yeah that was group A for the reunion. There wasn’t a fastest group after that which sucks because I did pass quite a few cars without point bys (totally my fault)
what tire were you running?
Used 225/45/17 Yokohama A052
Good stuff!! 👏 I've missed these a lot..! 🙏😌
Meine Güte!
Great demonstration video. Nice to see someone still using old-school wrenches!
Thank you!
Awesome lap! I'm very curious how your car fits into the sub 2 challenge I did a few years ago. The idea was to hit under 2 as cheaply as possible, including value of the car and all parts. NC was one of the few cars that I felt could beat my S197. Want to fill out my spreadsheet and see where it landed?
Yeah! I’m down to fill that out I think you follow me on Facebook and IG!
@@MitchelYardley Yep! Just sent you the link of FB messenger.
I didn't know that a NC1 had 5 lug hubs and rotors?
All NCs have 5 lugs. NDs is when they went back to 4 lug.
Yeah it's really annoying because you can't use the same wheels as other models. It's because the NC was heavier
Huge improvement. Can't stand all these huge oversized clown shoe mirrors on small cars. Can't wait to put these on my 2023 BRZ. The stock mirrors create a huge blind spot when looking down and to the left. Currently I can't see the inner curb of a roundabout at all with the stock mirrors.
Is this like a 6 second 0-60 now?
It’s around 5 seconds
Does anything need to be disconnected in the middle console or will the shifter drop out with the trans?
Center console needs to be removed and shifter does need to be removed, I guess unless the car was high enough up but it’s 3 10mm bolts to remove.
@@MitchelYardley cheers man
Love to see another NC racing in Time Attack (and winning!)
That’s an expensive “transplant”. Never get those $s back!
Call my best friend Jack it's all day have some fun
I had high hopes for this quick release, but only after a few days it has just as much play as a keyed or ball bearing quick release😭
Wait no way really!?
@@MitchelYardley unfortunately yes, theres even play turning side to side now. Like if I hold the hub, I can move the whole quick release and see the visible play at the splines
@@MitchelYardleyand I’ve only removed and installed the steering wheel a hand ful of times. Quick release has only been on my car since Thursday of last week
Oh man that’s unfortunate to hear! You should contact them to see what they can do!
LMAO. Nice work Mitch.
Like my speakers are blown
😋 "promo sm"
Dose it pass emissions
Yup. The Gibson dual sport exhaust does pass emissions
holy shit this looks fun hahaha good stuff man!
Hi Mitch, is there any reason you didnt adjust the corner weighting when you had it on the scales? Could you have got it closer to 50%?
We ran out of time after the alignment. I will be back to do the corner balance fix. Once I fully situate the front end by fixing my splitter setup!
And yes I definitely can get it closer to 50/50!
So whats your opinion on the xidas now, that youve gotten some track time with them? How are they on the street. I’ve been thinking about buying a set but Im stuck between touring and race rates.
Still loving the XIDAS, street compliance actually is still really good, given my setup on the car with the stiffer control arms and bushings. XIDAs just soak up bumps so damn well. For a street only car, the touring rates would be excellent. Could see myself even going on a long road trip with them and still being comfortable
delete the eccentric. best thing you can do for any car
How is the rear wheel clearance to the unibody with the 17x10s and -3.5 camber? Trying to gauge how much I can dial in before I have to start hammering/cutting things...
Not clearancing on the inside tub needed but it did run slightly when I ran some wheels less than +38 offset. I think those wheels were around +45
They really need to get the eccentrics on these like AMT has for the C5, a nice octagon shape that can't rotate! Maybe a project for me in OnShape and SendCutSend. That said you can't shim the uppers to make fine tuning adjustments so... may not work for these? Lots of camber in there! Are your lower bushings OEM rubber ones? I know on the C5 Corvette you run giant Camber numbers like these on the OEM rubber since they deflect so much, but as soon as you go Delrin you can drop a ton.... unless you AX, then you stay huge in numbers haha.
I have the same issue with my lowered NC. Did these untimely help on the track and did you keep them? Did you do 10 or 15MM?
Yes they did. Especially since I have no power steering. Coupled with my good shocks now, the car is definitely much improved on actual drivability, where I’m not fighting the wheel anymore. I can focus on driving line and throttle/ brake inputs. I did the larger amount at 15mm.
Dude, nice work!
How does it handle with just a splitter? Does it oversteer too much? I really want to improve my aero, but big rear wing is too much for weekend trackday car.
Did the opposite actually, caused more understeer. The front just had too much grip.
Is there any real benefit of going chassis mount wing vs boot?
I definitely think so. A wing mounted to body panels will loose it’s effectiveness as that downforce has to travel through the airfoil, wing stands, trunk/body panel, suspension, then tires. Where as my setup is airfoil, stands, suspension, then tires.
If you're going to the effort would it not be better to mount to the uprights?
Which rod are you installing at 4:05 I need to replace that one , mine is bent
That’s gonna be your “outer tie rod” arm. Take a look at this diagram. www.realmazdaparts.com/v-2007-mazda-mx-5-miata--sv--2-0l-l4-gas/suspension--rear-suspension
I’m on the fence about this quick release - aside from price point, can anyone tell me why they’d buy this over something like the WorksBell Rapfix II?
Worksbell have always been higher end quick releases and hubs. They make great products. That was going to be my first go to but I saw this one released and figured I’d give it a shot for 2 main reasons. Price and the QR being splined rather than ball bearing (like the worksbell) but the worksbell one is I believe the highest quality ball bearing QR.
Hey, great video! I see there's some pre-prep that you did that wasn't in the video. For instance, you disconnected the shifter stuff. It would be helpful to know a sequential checklist of the steps you did before the video. For instance: 1. drain coolant and oil. 2. discharge the A/C (or not). 3. Disconnect wires from (x) etc. TIA
Looking back on the video, yes I definitely could have done a better check list style for the video! You should have good luck checking out Miata.net for a full in depth write on how to drop the engine for sure. I kinda winged it and just recorded it hence my video being kinda sporadic😂
What was the symptoms of the bad mount? Thanks
Heard some bad knocking type sounded when revving the engine and just so happened to check this side first !
What mid pipe are you using? Where did you get the cutout?
Mid pipe is the one included in the PPE full exhaust which technically is just a 2.5” pipe with a Magnaflow resonator towards the rear. That mid pipe does use a small cat though. Cut out I used was from Pertronix/Dougs headers!
@@MitchelYardley Do you have link to the PPE exhaust?
@Tony-ek5pf looks like they aren’t doing anything anymore for the Mazdas. From What it looks like on their website.
Which cutout are you using? That looks really high quality.
No cut on this exhaust setup
I love your install videos always straight and to the point no bs keep up the great work!!!
Good looking parts. I hope they last for you. I may have just missed it but could you show your brake ducting setup? I boiled my brakes at my last track day. So, brake ducts are on my winter projects list. Ps. There was in fact audio in that part of the video. 😂
I actually don’t have brake ducts at the moment 🫣 I have the AWR fog light ducts installed as well as the duct’d brake baking plates but just no hoses
