Your voice, the editing, the music, and the overall chill vibes your videos have are so outstanding compared to other high-energy car video producers. Please keep uploading more videos like this, because videos like these are so nice to wind down with.

Wow, thank you! That's nice to hear. I shall continue!

I really enjoy your videos Andrew. You have a very cool and chilled out personality, and are extremely thorough and professional with very high production values. I own a red '94 MX5 so I'm especially loving your videos featuring your Miata.

I appreciate that! Nice taste in cars, too.

Nice stuff Andrew! I like how you filmed this episode. Tire and wheel combo looks great :)

Thanks Metod! It was a surprising amount of work for a video with not much actual information in it, haha.

I still love my RPF1's, but those look great! Nice custom center caps!

Thanks! And I do like the RPF1's, very classic sporty light wheels. I just wanted to go a different direction.

Excellent! Thanks for posting! Very inspiring! Wheels remind me of the Panasport wheels.

Thanks! And yes, the Panasports are what I originally wanted, but found out they don't make the Miata offset anymore. Too bad! I am happy with these VTOs though.

They look great, and I appreciate the way you care for your car.

Watched 3 videos straight. All videos well made. Professional but still cool and relaxed. Congrats man. I’m a fan.

The last shot looks like a magazine commercial from the 90s. So nice :-)

Thanks for the feedback, I will aim to do this fairly soon!

Great video, as usual! For reference, one of the most maligned and disparaged cars, with one of the best "off the showroom floor" chassis, was the 3rd Gen Toyota MR-S, from 1999 to 2007, and it's 300ft skidpad test was right at 1g!

I did a similar change on my wheels and tires on my 93 Konig wheels which looked like the wheels you compared yours too. I also went for the look that I liked. Good videos !

Nice! Sounds like you have your priorities in order. Thanks!

Andrew, just finished all three videos on shocks and suspension upgrades to your MX-5. These are the best Produced and documented videos and easiest to understand out of all videos I’ve watched on this topic!!!! Kudos to you. And your NA looks fabulous!!! I’m about to upgrade my ‘04 Mazdaspeed with Koni Special Active Shocks along with OEM shocks. Keeping all of the rest suspension stock as MSM’s come stock with all of the extra braces and larger sway bars. Please keep up the videos. I need to paint calipers red as part of my aesthetic upgrades. Thanks again! Jim Gruber apollo Beach, FL PS wish I had those curvy roads down here in Tampa area.

Well thanks very much! It's a lot of work to put these together, so I appreciate comments like these. I'm still going to do the rear brakes on this car at some point (kinda got distracted by other projects) as well as suspension bushings and who knows what else.

I agree with the others. A mic'd up, no commentary, pure driving video would be appreciated.

Good to hear! This would be fun, I can definitely make it happen.

Caps are a great touch. Be honest, when you park it do you look over your shoulder for one more glance?

I even looked back with the old wheels, but now even more so!

It’s hard to beat Minilites (classic look) so my hat is off. If they perform as well as they look, you win! Way better. Your car looks extremely tidy - well done.

I have the Fm springs and been wanting to pull the trigger on the koni and fm springs for a while. Surprisingly not a lot of videos out there for them.

I think a lot of people get wrapped up in the idea of performance adjustable coilovers, when it's really not neccessary for normal / spirited driving on public roads, which is what most of us are doing. I'd rather have less adjustments to potentially get wrong, and just have quality components that are set up right to begin with.

Great to see enjoyment from your investment...so pretty sure your Miata has the SAME bolt spacing pattern 4-100 as your Manta, so try them on the Manta?

@AndrewDoesCarStuff

8 ай бұрын

Thanks! And you're right, it does have the same bolt pattern. I have thought the same thing, these would look great on the Manta too. No idea if the size and offset will fit, but it would be a fun experiment.

👍👍😎👍👍

Andrew, great vid as always. I still have 14" wheels on my 1992, and am thinking about 15" wheels and new tires. Did you have to roll the fenders at all?

@AndrewDoesCarStuff

4 ай бұрын

Thanks! No modifications needed for these wheels. They are 15x7, +38mm offset. My ride height is pretty stock so that probably helps too.

Hey Andrew, wondering now that you've had the tires for 4-5 months, any further thoughts? Still very satisfied? I'm thinking of going the same route with the ECS tires. Thanks

@AndrewDoesCarStuff

3 ай бұрын

Yep I'm still very happy with them! Grippy and smooth. One thing I've noticed is that because they are softer / stickier than my old all-seasons, more debris sticks to them and kicks up into the body. I usually notice when first setting off, I can hear lots of little pieces hitting the rockers until I get going and they clean off. Probably comes with the territory with any performance tires though.

5lbs a corner extra isn’t that bad. Most people wouldn’t notice. Those tires look super grippy. I noticed your suspension sits a little higher than mine. Did you set the spring perch to the highest setting?

@AndrewDoesCarStuff

2 ай бұрын

Yeah it's on the highest setting, as recommended by FM. Did you put them in a different spot? I have no complaints about the height, it's nice to not worry much about scraping.

@@AndrewDoesCarStuff yeah mines set on the middle perch. Sits a 1/2 inch or so lower. Other than that it’s at FM’s specs and alignment. I don’t like too low either. Btw your video on motor mounts is super helpful. I just got a set and gonna put them in the next few weeks.
