Behold the Baja Miata: Desert Racer Mazda MX-5 On 27-Inch Knobblies | American Tuned ft. Rob Dahm

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

What’s the perfect two-car garage? Writer and adventurer Emme Hall would argue a second-gen Mazdaspeed Miata and a matching Miata on big 27-inch knobbly tyres for off-roading. Emme takes Rob on a trip through Yucca Valley’s backroads in the car she affectionately calls “Buddy", fitted with a shorter rear-differential, big skid plate, and just enough suspension travel to get into the good kind of trouble. Is this the most fun you can have in a Japanese budget-friendly sports car?

    Rob, you gonna let all these people drive the 4 rotor when it's done to be fair? jk lol. Keep up the great work bro! Also, this is such a cool serious Top Gear did. I probably would not have watched it (or been as excited to watch) if you weren't a part of it. You definitely have a talent for this type of automotive hosting whatnots.

Though Gingium on KZread here has the slightly wilder NA Miata version of this garage, could be something for a future thing perhaps? got the quick street one, and his offroad one is actually AWD with a Subaru drivetrain and engine.

    They are becoming popular in British Trials [climbing muddy hills] which favour RWD. Cheap, plentiful and usually relaible, Quite easy to raise the suspension too. In Triallnig we have to use road legal tread on the tyres, no off-road style tread allowed. LSD is banned too. Lots of lead bolted to the boot floor and heavy tools and a jack aid traction. We also carry air bottles to blow the tyres up, pressures are usually dropped to 5psi before each hill climb. This featured MX-5 has neat twin spare wheel storage, I've seen similar in UK. Excellent job, well done building this, great fun.

    Miata is always a solution. Great thing still about Miatas is that they can be had for cheap while still being reliable. Had one for years dubbed the drift pig and it never had matching tires or rims on it the whole time. Just kept buying peoples used tires and stock rims when they upgraded off craigslist. Used it as a tow vehicle, used the hitch to pull it after getting stuck off road. Had a blast the whole time.
