Modified 2013 Mazda Miata NC: Unique Roadster
Hello everyone,
In this video we have our good friend phrankie to share his awesome build with us. He chose a Mazda Miata as his weapon of choice and we absolutely love it! I will be honest that i never thought about the newer Miata but this one changed my mind. I really enjoyed the modifications he has done to this build. The changes he has done are really driver focus and he continues to work on driver mod above all. I think they are great chassis and more people should consider it because it has nice aftermarket support and great handling car! Thank you Phrankie for the support man, keep making videos when you go to the track brotha! I appreciate all the support to everyone who has been supporting the channel. Much love and appreciation to everyone. It really means so much! #automotiveanatomy

NCs rock! Refined, capable, nice size (not too cramped) and with quite a bit of storage room. I have a 2009 NC FL 2.0 Sport 6-speed soft-top and we LOVE it. We've driven to Italy and France so it's road-trip capable - like a baby Gran Turismo. My first was an NA - I spent a fortune adding stuff to the NA that is STANDARD on the NC Sport - eg. leather/alcantara seats, wind deflector, trunk lighting, strut braces, Bilsteins, 17" rims ... My favourite upgrades - 2-DIN Naviceiver with touchscreen, short shift (yes, even shorter!), hard door lock buffers, K&N air filter, LED interior lighting, gas struts for the hood (bonnet). All the best, Rob
Why is the universe giving me so many signs to get a NC

I had a 2006 NC1 for only $5.5k 80k miles really awesome car especially with coilovers - changes the look alot. I recommend a 2009+ if you can afford it: better engine and reliability.

Cool build cool owner. People make fun of Miatas and call them hair dressers cars but once you drive one you then understand why they’re so much fun and a great platform to track and shred up some backroads!!👌🏽

@ShawnDon 97 I dont know about go kart, ive heard that said, but its just such a great car to drive and yes, low driving possition, near 50/50 weight distribution, planted at speeds, as great on a motorway as it is round town, echos of the 60s roadster feel but in such a reliable package. Kick of torque at 3, 500 revs, I could go on. I admit it-im addicted, im even sitting in it now about to pop down the top for the ride home. Sports exauhst and aftermarket wheels on my particular otherwise stock car complete the picture. I havent got bilstein shocks but the ride is just right-firmer than my jag xk8 and just right for real world roads. 💘✌

@ShawnDon 97 hey listen ive just driven back now through st johns wood in central London to North London (mill hill) and im still buzzing off it lol. But what a great little car!! Its nice to tell someone because not everyone gets it. As always, this car does what i need it to do in traffic so well-but the open road towards the end of my journey was bloody fantastic when you let the taps out on the straight and round the corners its bye bye to everyone. She loves those corners!!

Really nice NC build for a track car. Just found this video. Nice work.
Love the black headlight housings
There is an LED light set you can stick to the window to see when gas and brake are applied. It helps with track footage study. Sounds fine to me lol
nc3 owner here love this
Also he should definitely upgrade the coolant reservoir to an aluminum one specially if he is racing, it'll save his engine
It's refreshing to see non-honda contents from your channel. Nice!

Miatas are great cars to track or auto cross. Reliable, easy to mod, TONS of aftermarket support and a massive community. There is a reason they say "Miata is always the answer". Hope you can cover this community more.

NC's are cool looking and yours is really nice..but you do know the hard top is retractable, right? LOL! I like the nC's a lot and could pick one up with low miles for $15 - 20K 2 years ago, but it was really hard to find any with a manual transmission. So, I ended up getting a ND Club, RF with BBS Package with 8,300 miles on it for $25,900.00 and love it! It's in the shop getting turbo'd now!

Yeah, I just got an 06' NC, and it's a fun little car to tool around in. I have a 740whp 335i E92, and that's my pride and joy. But this car is economical fun, which is so freeing. I can beat on it, without worrying about it, because it will take it. I really like everything on his black NC, EXCEPT the gigantic wing, which I think looks horrible. It's just too big for that little car, and I don't see how they can say it balances out the car. It doesn't!!! It's way over kill for the car, and throws it well out of balance. I think a lower smaller wing would look so much better on it. That wing is so big, it looks ridiculous, and makes it hard for me to take the car seriously. But outside of that, I really like everything else about this car. Hope he doesn't take offense, as I don't mean it in that way. Good vid.
I was waiting for him to open the trunk and show the shotgun
Ha! I bought my 2011 NC from a Honda dealership in the UK last month 😂😂
CHILL LITTLE MIATA LIKE HOW HE'S ENJOY THE RIDE PUTTING IN THOSE MILES NICE WHEELS REMEMBER MY BROTHER GETTING DROPPED OFF FROM HE'S TEACHER IN ONE OF THOSE I LIKE HOW IT HAS THAT [H]ONDA S2OOO FRONT BUMBER HOOD LOOK SOUNDS PRETTY BAD TO THANKS GUS FOR THIS VIDEO ✌OUT

Bro, how much did you pay for your Miata at the dealership?

Can you provide info on your front lip
The Focus ran the same Mazda MZR engine. When this engine was developed, Ford owned controlling interest in Mazda. The Ford 4cyl Duratec engines were the Mazda engines.
I can't lie they are neat little cars. However, just not my sty;e I really just love seeing them at shows. I have never seen the newer ones in shows here yet. Just the older one.

@@AutomotiveAnatomy I know he does, but having a higher spring rate (or even equal) in the rear on the NC doesn’t really work with the suspension geometry. That and 12k/7k is a common track spring rate setup for the NC, so 13k/8k makes sense. But 13k/18k is all sorts of weird...

The NC is not competitive in C stock for autox but u should of stick with it and learn to drive faster. Mod makes the car faster but it doesn't necessarily make u a better driver.
f1 noise going 20mph
He should definitely go android instead of apple
Shame about the tail and the stickers, for racing I guess.
"It's hard to tell when I am on the gas or off the gas, this is why I like it loud" um, shouldn't your foot give you that info.
Obnoxious noise for the sake of it.
Poor NC ruined
