Slick Auto Mazda Miata MX--5 Turbo Track Car - Octane Report

[Huey24636]

do widebody kits effect handling? just wondering

[VandQand3and0]

Stock Internals? I love that hardtop

[bryansciuk]

can you get a similar hard top or body kit for a 2000 miata?

[JomesZ]

Zoom Zoom man keep going!

[NoVAPunkLover]

sounds like Dave Matthews

[thumpetto007]

I'm not so sure this is a good example of budget performance, or a fast car that isn't expensive...

If I were to build that car I would need at least $30,000...

[pimpmyskin]

@thumpetto007. not really 30,000Dollars but about 15-20,000 is a more accurate!

[monstermiataman]

@thumpetto007 for 30K i can get a LS3 swap and i wont even have to touch the car just ship it to the place and pay them good things about miatas they are not expensive to build

[thumpetto007]

@monstermiataman Sure, maybe the engine only cost 3-4 grand. But then there's the cooling system, brakes, rims, tires (multiple sets) the widebody kit alone is at least 10 grand, hard top, paint job, aerodynamics.... I could understand if this was some average Joe's miata, and it had bolt on fender flares, 225 width tires, track brake pads and fluid, and a homemade turbo kit, that would be "not expensive."

Cars like this miata are done "on a budget" because the parts and labor are free.

[monstermiataman]

@thumpetto007 3-4 grand maybe if your getting the engine from the new model MS miata i bought a turbo 1.8 a few months back for mine it cost $1700 and 225 tires that isnt shit i can fit that on the factory 14s its a bit of a tight fit but they go on they only cost me 100 each bfgoodrich gforce II to be exactill agree with you on the brakes though they are fucking expensive and a custom hardtop is to but thats a custom part and widebody kit research your price on that

[thumpetto007]

@monstermiataman The turbo kit they use in this car is not the 1700 dollar one you have. The car has a full cage (which I forgot to mention in my first reply, adds 2-3 grand easily) Sure, you're right about the widebody.

My original "throw a number out there" estimate of 30K was maybe 7-8 thousand dollars off, but I still can't say the Slick Auto Mazda Miata is a budget racer.

I guess I'm trying to empart is it's waaaaay more expensive to have a race car than you'd expect.

[monstermiataman]

@thumpetto007 my turbo kit didnt cost 1700 the MS engine did my current turbo kit cost 2500 im pushin 18 PSI and no race cars are not meant to be cheap a high performance car will never be cheap i dont care what it is its impossible to have a cheap race car

[irobot2009able]

your stupid listen to what you right the only thing gay is you less of a gay car you couldn't afford a miata that is so ignorant to all you guy's out there that call a miata a gay car your in fear of your man hood i know it's a free world but your stupid comment's we can do without i know there's alot of ignorance in the world and your an example of it

[spunisphun]

what paint is it? ppg dp90? i wanna do my miata in this

[RoRogerRo]

hunting down s2000's and vettes on a budget is my type of car!!

[trekce9]

Where did u get a fast back for this car? I've been looking every where to find one.

[iBashVideos]

This is the worst video. You call yourself the Octane Report, you should know we have ZERO Interest in the music, but in the car. If I knew I wasn't going to be able to actually "hear" it, i'd resort to looking at pictures. Idiots.

[mrblockboii]

how much is that miata package?

[jrhager84]

@UtubeACCno1

NB all the way baby!!!

[DIRTBIK3B01]

ive seen that fast back convertion online but i was wondering if you can take the top off or if its a perminate top

[trogdorpontiac]

I wanted to hear the turbo, not music...

[jvepps]

not gunna lie but flat black screams "i have no money for paint"

[KooKooKachoo29]

@jvepps you didnt even read the comment before yours?

[JustinBTistaken]

@jvepps you don't have to lie if it's your opinion.

[spunisphun]

@jvepps then why the fuck is it 1700 extra fucking british pounds to get your car in a flat paint job. sorry but you fucking know nothing about paint. PPG DP90 is just as pricey as normal basecoat clearcoat.

[spunisphun]

@spunisphun and the car im refering to is a m3

[BANNANAGUNify]

does anybody know where to get those fastback tops for a miata?

[recruted]

how much would it take to buy the car and make it look feel and drive like that

[djhivesdotcom]

@UtubeACCno1

@UtubeACCno1

dress up your car to make up for your insecurities.. go head, you might actually fool someone into fearing you becasue you drive an 'agressive' car...lol - this is why SUVs exists - people want to drive MECHA mobiles and pretend to be superhuman alter egos. Fucking leave the miata alone, its beatiful stock -- you idiots would put rocket launchers on cars if someone sold them to you! rrrrar here I come, dork by day, rebel by road! raar here me roar go white boi go!

[djhivesdotcom]

way to ruin a miata! Looks like an insecure white-boys wet dream! "aggressive" LOL - real life whimps want 'aggressive' vehicles to make up for their lack of heart

[PsuPepperoni]

the sound in this intro is a Carrera GT. I'd recognize that sound anywhere

[Asanj3RSplayer]

WHAT TOP IS THAT!!!

[juanmincia]

Thanx for making the Miata less of a gay car and more of a performance machine like it should be. - thumbs up -

[krimreaper]

That thing is SICK

[gatobert45]

dam is that a first gen?

[HighBoOsT100]

wow dident know Autokonexion made functional aero parts for the Miata let alone a widebody design SICK! There R32 Skyline kits are mint to. Thx to the uploader. :D

[LonewolfSaichi]

xD looks like a cross of all the RX7's combined with a Miata engine. Looks awesome!

[FORDGTFANATIC]

the only miata that i have seen that looks good..

[donwonjon420]

it looks very cost effective. I have drivin a 1st gen convertable, it was very fun to drive however they are a bit too small. It is easier for the to look over the windsheild that through it. I cant fit at all if the top is up.

[thingk89]

The shape of the car looks nice but the paint and decals are cheap cheap cheap!

[wajalama]

@thingk89 Uh, the paint job was done like that on purpose. It's called matte black.

[TheAudiTTfan]

@thingk89 It's done on purpose, and the paint looks fantastic! What cheap? Even lambos have the paintjob...looks evil!

[rxmaster]

can you open the trunk normal with this hardtop or do you have to take it off first : D?

[JD0x0]

@rxmaster not sure about the car in the vid. But do a search for "fastback miata" on google and you'll see some kits allow normal trunk operation.

[thefavs]

I love that hard top

[stustockwell]

@thefavs

It's a fastback. And yes they are fucking sexy

[CasualA]

cool roof.

[swervon]

Even though they are similar I prefer Andrew Kidd's but this is still an awesome car.

[str8ghtpipes]

whats that top worth?

[ericstaytrue]

@str8ghtpipes

It is an autokonexion fastback. About 2500 dollars.

[stoone113]

Cute...

[metalicsupra]

would that hardtop still look good if the miata doesnt have a wide body?

[Ratava252]

@metalicsupra I just bought it, I will let you know how it turns out without the bodykit ;)

[metalicsupra]

@Ratava252 Ight thnx. let me no wen its done.

[gregdownham]

autokonexion are the guys that make the roof conversion item, they are awesome

[T0urniqu3T]

very nice, where can i get a hardtop like this!?

[carcraver]

@T0urniqu3T

autokonexcion

[BadBarrBoys]

What is that red hook sticking out of the bumper.

[littlebike94]

@BadBarrBoys If you were to crash and not be able to drive yourself out you would have a truck or some sort of service car toe you out using that red hook.

[TheRipePunani]

@BadBarrBoys Tow hook.

[teqnyck]

That hardtop is awesome looking! Where did you guys get it? I've seen them before but I have no idea who makes them.

[jamesevanhenry]

Autokonexion

[JiggabooD]

Sweet looking mini viper

[simonetrb]

GREAT CAR!!!!

[simonetrb]

Great car!!!

[r808r808r808]

Do we get to hear this thing drop balls or just the MTV video, or what?

[k636101]

very nice car

[smokey9027]

you should put a turbo 13b in it !!! that keep the wieght down and add even more power!!! plus it'd keep it a all mazda car

[idriftfc]

@smokey9027 he is already making more power than a stock t2 13b

[fraudful]

WHAT A TITLE OF THIS SONG?

[TheOctaneReport]

The song is called Working Overtime, by Tired Ant.

[linkdarkshadow]

Just slap a v8 engine on that car, make it even deadlier.

[tookute4hoes]

a V8 would throw off power to weight and also the balance of the car meaning alot more work would have to go into it so it prob wouldnt be worth the effort maybe for show not to race in... anyway its not about how fast u can get to the corners it how fast u can get out of them

[macdaddy08]

what hard top is that

[bebop00]

it's the autokonexion fastback hardtop, they have a website you can check out.
