Don’t forget to like the video if you enjoyed it! Spent two full days buried in my computer to put this together and I’m really stoked on how it came out! Let me know what you thought and if you want to see more or less detail for V2.0!

The sheer amount of effort that it took to make this video is astounding! Thanks I missed the first 1/4 of the Miata's life. So this was awesome to see. Thanks for doing this.

Wait a minute...this is a movie-movie. Liked.

The night we found the kitties was the best night ever I love them so much ❤️😭

This video shows not only the sick progression of your crazy ls miata but also how far you have come and learned throughout this whole build

What perfect timing on my lunch break....some hero's don't always wear capes

3 minutes in, this has to be one of the best made "full build montage clip blah blah everything video" ever!

Holy shit that was 3 years ago, i watched that video when it first came out and actually got into your channel because of it

An hour of my life... And I do NOT call it a waste🔥 This video was so dope! Can’t wait to get more in depth with my Miata build!

So happy you didn't do a "LS Miata build in 15 minutes" video!!!!

Wow! I just watched the whole thing and had no idea it was an HOUR LONG! Looking forward to the V2 video!

I like this format of a start to finish compared to those 5 to 10 min timelapse video others have done.

Love this transformation!!! Also like that you made it one video, kinda like a mini movie of the Miata.

He had to have been working on this for long time! Turned out to be great though. Showed me everything I didn't know about and how hard he worked to put it together.

For anyone who hasn't driven an LS Miata, watching the camera and cab shake during his first drive is about as good a summary as you'll get without doing it yourself.

Black and yellow socks with red shoes. i Dig it

every so often you run across an hour long video and you think "meh, ill skim through this and see whats up" and an hour later you realize you watched the whole thing. Thats the mark of an amazing video.

Anyone else notice how much happier he seems now, like it doesn't seems he's smiling as much in the old footage. Keep up the good work Taylor.

The very first time I was introduced to you Taylor was the video of you and Adam going to look at that Miata for Nicole. I’ve been hooked ever since. You’re hands down my favorite KZread content creator. And your merch is bomb af. I’ve got like 7 of your shirts, a hoodie and mad stickers. Love this channel. You’re also the reason I bought a Miata lmao never thought I would have owned one. Thought they were goofy af until I saw you and your friends having so much fun in them

Is it just me, or does watching this makes me wanna build my vehicle already lol

I'm not a fan of ANYTHING LS swapped. But the time and care that went into this build I can totally respect.

2 am in SA Australia with fk all to do tomorrow, definitely watching this till early hours in the morning and not going to regret any of it! Taylor Ray hands down legend! Homies and i love your videos! keep smashinig it

This brought back alot off memories,thanks for taking your time and making this special movie lol 😂 👌🏻✊🏼👊🏼

I love your reaction to driving the car. You are awesome, keep it up.

one of the best videos I've ever seen. Great enthusiasm, thorough explanations during every step, relevant voice over and tons of real time video of the whole process.

Taylor... because of you, from now on I will keep my mouth shut about having never seen a millennial hipster-type guy worth a God-damned shit when it comes to fabrication, hot-rodding, creativeness, gutsiness, and sheer tenacity when it comes to a build! Dude... you're just as good as any old-school hot rodder I've ever seen and I've been doing this stuff for almost 58 years!

Holy crap, I just realized I sat through an hour video without getting bored and clicking off. Awesome work!

I like your honesty. You're the 1st to point out that you're new at something and proud of your results when it works...like a weld, like a cv joint. Kudos man, it made a cool car build seem real instead of like a tv show. Nice build bro.

I love how the OEM engine gave the front of the car, one more goodbye kiss!

Man so many memories its crazy, cause even for me i got so much memories of my own life going on at the same time , so much nostalgia ahah.. awesome work as usual Taylor youre the best. Since day one and till the end !!

That’s so cool to hear! I know exactly what you mean!

Coming back to rewatch. I am so glad I watch all the videos. It's fun to be on this/his journey. Throwback!

i have no idea how you dont have well over 1,000,000 subscribers, the sheer effort you put into the content that not only is informative but is also entertaining and eventful, as well as constantly changing to keep things fresh and non repetitive

Truly inspiring man... I can't believe I've been with you this whole journey... Well done man, well done.

Okay the way that cage was built is amazing...the way it extended into the doors is what was amazing to me. It was a true 10/10 build

Just sat down telling myself I would watch for 5 minutes. Most entertaining hour I have had in a long time. Trading my Subaru for a miata next week, thanks for the inspiration

this is literally the video I found your account from. I was watching this in class falling asleep cuz I hadn't slept the night before and ever since you haven't left me recommended and you make some of the best videos I've ever seen. it's nice going back and ACTUALLY watching this now😂

3 years later you’re helping me more than you’ll ever know. bless you for uploading these gems.

I'm a big fan of the way you approach a challenge, you dont except defeat and take it to a shop. Instead you learn how to do the challenging thing and work to perfect it. Awesome video I can tell it took some time to edit, keep up the great work man!

i sat and watched this entire video for an hour with no skipping, I dont do that for any other youtube vid besides car stuff 😭 you got a new subscriber

The caption for your car idling at 22 seconds said “music” and that makes me happy

Man, thank you so much for recording this whole process and editing it together. I enjoyed going along with you on the journey so much.

Man I never knew a lot of this stuff because I never found you until you and Cletus went drifting in the Z and neighbor but this video just showed me how much more dedicated you are to something. I’m only 15 but with the money I get from plowing Gardens and working on people cars I’m currently building a 1999 new edge mustang coyote swap and I’ve got an engine for a very good price due to my family owning a junkyard but hopefully by the time I’m 18 I can have the car ready to drift so I can travel and go to lone star drift and several pother drift events

I started this yesterday, and continued it today. Gotta support my boy!

Super inspiring, Taylor. Absolutely appreciate you bringing us on this journey.

Not gonna lie. I let this video sit for a while, and I'm really sad about that. I wasn't sure I could watch an hour long documentary from a youtuber, but you nailed it dude. This video was awesome. Next time you do something like this though, I'd like to see a lot more promotion for it if possible. Make a trailer and treat it like you're releasing a documentary, because that's what you did! Great work Taylor!!!

Hell yeah, a step by step play book on how it’s done! I would give this video TWO thumbs up! 👍👍

This was amazing Taylor. This is what KZread needs, more videos like this.

Commenting so the YT algorithms can spread this around... Amazing video Taylor!

Loved v1 video. Great editing, voice over on point (not too many people can pull that off), and very thorough (and I know, I’ve seen everyone lol) KZread replaced my tv a while ago I follow a bunch of channels but only follow a few religiously and you’re def #1 since you’ve started. Keep it up. I’m glad your decision to make KZread your Full time has worked out well for you.

stopped watching about two years ago and Im so thankful for these videos that help me catch up - glad to be back taylor!!

This is the video that got me into cars 3 years ago. thank you

I sat through this whole video...and I loved every second of it. You can see the passion you are driven by and it's so awesome that you didn't give up on this build after so many attempts. keep it up bro

I don’t have a free hour to watch it but commenting to help the algorithm and I’ll watch later 🤘🏽😬

do like me, 2x speed. You can watch stuff twice as fast.

I started watching the channel right before 1.0 bit the dust and seeing where you're at now makes me so proud!

The nostalgia feel of this video is crazy. Can’t believe it’s been 3 years already! This video makes me want a Miata even though I don’t fit well at all😂 6’4 and my head sticks out above the windshield of the things😕

Thank you for taking alot of your time out of your day to edit this for us, we all are greatly Blessed. Congrats on the build and thanks for the amazing content.

You guys just inspired me to go clean up our shop. Your shop you moved into is very clean and organized.

I love how Americans can do anything with their cars and still legally drive on the road. Great build!

Best build breakdown ever!!! Truly inspiring. Thank you Taylor Ray.

Thanks. I really appreciate you doing this overview. I haven't found time to go back into the archives to catch up on this build.

Thank you for this. I love your story/journey and persistence. Super inspiring

Really enjoyed the video. So sick to see how far the car has come! Keep up the great content!

When I clicked on the video to watch it I thought the run time was 6 minutes 45 seconds. After about five seconds I looked down and saw that this video was almost an hour long. Thinking to my self ( I don't want to sit here for an hour and watch this guy ) mind you I have never watch any of your videos. The next thing I know its 30 minutes later and I am still here. Now the video is over and yes I Subscribed ! Nice job keep up the good work.

Really really really well put together video, great job Taylor!

Taylor, you did absolutely amazing with this video. I didn't start watching your channel till a couple months ago and this shows everything I always wondered about. Your channel is one of the best on youtube.

Im up in jax. you got me into miatas. just grabbed an NB for a steal. thank you and your content for generating my enthusiasm for this chassis.

Enjoyed the ride and seeing you learn along the way. Awesome build

Classic days!! I remember it was gonna be a giveaway car..lol.. Glad you fix it up, camming sound AMAZING!!!!!!!

Long time subscriber. Awesome summary for v1 can't wait for v2!

A year later and I’m so happy I found this it’s such a help to see someone else doing this. I’m having trouble with mine and this video helped

It’s come such a long ways and I’m glad you still have it. Hands down one of my favorite builds ever

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU DUDE! CAN WAIT TO SEE YOUR V2!

Good time to watch this again. Quarantine fun

I know this is an old video but good shit Taylor, You've done an awesome job with the LS miata build. The true definition of built not bought.

I remember when this video first came out and I thought well seen most of it already, but the short video of each step and a nice voice over explaining the process and progress at the time. I think you did a great job on production.

I was expecting a 10 minute build video and kept watching and turned into the hour that this vid is. That just shows how good your content be! I love it and keep it up !

Bro i remember watching these as they came out. Not gonna lie, i was skeptical. "theres no way thats gonna fit in that tiny ass car" "theres no way its gonna fire right up" "theres no way it wont catch on fire at the drag strip" ..... I was doubting the process, not you man. And you pulled through after all the bullshit. Always loved your videos, build ideas, and direction. Keep it up man.

Liked specifically for the beginning burnie. Now to watch the rest of the video.

man im in love this video. the start of this build is basically where ii started watching your channel religously and its crazy to think how far the car has come. needless to say ill be here for all of the builds to come, im (not so) patiently waiting for the follow up video of V2.0

What an awesome build overview of v1 of the ls miata. So sick to see how far you have come with this build and the miata transformation.

Taylor this project got me into your channel and it was crazy to see how far you've come as a context creator. Keep up the good work, big things coming your way!

watched this build since the very, very beginning, pretty rad to see it again like this. looking forward to v2.0!

I saw you and Adam riding and was like, yeah, high school lunch break. So baby faced!

I never even saw this in my feed 7 months ago lol. Anyhoo here now, this is sick haha. Glad you put commentary over the top of it.

That center tombstone dash with all the gauges looks epic, beautiful, awsome, badazz, cool, stock, custom, professional, expensive and/or great. I didn't want to use just one description word for it Cause it deserves so much more lol

Taylor you are the best KZreadr ever love ur vids

I know this was about the transformation of the Miata but, what I am stoked on is how much this transformed you. #driftdad

Omg has anyone else forgot how Adam looks with no mustache 😂💀

That was the quickest hour ever. Very entertaining and informative. It shows what really goes into doing an LS swap right and possibly steered me away from it for mine. May just build a sweet turbo 1.8 and blow it up every now and again.

For some of your first welds on a project I’m impressed! I had no idea there was that much involved in your conversation!😲 Impressive! I see why it’s a little ripper now!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Keep the good work up love your video of the cars

Great Video Taylor! Great way to spend my Friday at work. Always great content!!!!

I loved this with all my heart, even though i diss LS so much. I never actually took to think how much dedication this took for a good build. This in inspiring. Thank you.

Man nostalgia, I remember watching every one of those vids from the beginning of the channel. Love the content, keep it up, it’s always good.

I was hesistant to watch this almost hour long video about a project I've followed since the very beginning. But I'm glad I did. Nicley done!

Great seeing the full build V1 ,it filled in alot of gaps, can't wait to see you race and win again..

As I relatively new viewer I found this very entertaining. Respect the build a lot more now that I know a lot more about it

Hell yeah, awesome build, really puts into perspective how far this car has gone. I had watched the entire build but had forgetten how much of a beater the miata was at the beginning. Also, awesome video, was really well put together and the effort you put into it definitely shows through ! Can't wait to watch an hour long video for V2.0

Been following since the very beginning of this build, so cool to see where it has come! Can't wait to see what is to come still!
