What's up everybody welcome back to the channel I'm Evil Rabbit here on Forza Motorsports 7 we are in some Miata pro cup cars and we are here on Lime Rock and we are here to do a grip to drift build here today on this MX-5 definitely a pretty sweet MX-5 with the full digital cluster full roll cage and stuff like that so we are here just on Lime Rock just trying to grip race this thing right now and try not lose it at the same time and then we will be going into building this thing into a drift car because with the new angle kits pretty much any car can be turned into a drift car so as you can see we are in the MX-5 cup car which is definitely a pretty sweet Miata with the full cage digital dash sparkle wheel and everything like that so it is a car that I've been wanting to build into a drift car for a while and apparently I need should have turned the difficulty up on these guys because they are way back there I feel like I should slow down a little bit let them pass me and then have a little fun working my way through traffic because it is a spec cup race so there is a lot they are all you know Mazda cup cars but I feel like I must have turned the difficulty down because I am pretty much out driving these guys really easily trying to race clean and not hit them so this is something I've been wanting to do since the update came out and this car is a car I've tried to build a drift car on before but it just didn't have the angle that I needed to catch itself so we are going to do a full build on this probably a stock motor maybe a turbo and get that angle kit on here with the new update and build a nice little Miata cup drift car and yeah I definitely should have turned the difficulty up on these guys because apparently it's lower than I thought and I'm just out driving them pretty much in every corner so hey I tried to not hit you and you hit me so I do like the interior of this MX-5 because it's got the full digital cluster I wish it had an NRG wheel like my wheel setup does but it's got a spark code can't really change that so we are on our Logitech G920 with our energy innovations wheel as well as our energy innovations bucket seat hydraulic handbrake and sequential shifter but we don't need the handbrake in this one and he's not moving his hand this car automatic it's not even moved his hand to shift I could have been wrong oh apparently it's a paddle shifter minus the paddles that's kind of interesting so we are going to finish up this lap here in this MX-5 and then we are going to uh get in there and get a build on this car because I don't think this car will drift now we can always try it I mean if we tap the front that's not going to help so this thing is on pretty grippy tires because it is a you know a cup race car and um it doesn't have a lot of power so we're gonna have to uh cram more power into this car yeah as you can see the power is not there so we are gonna have to cram more power into this car and uh get that angle kit on there so that we can uh set this thing sideways and uh see if we can't get a good drift build on this car so like I said been wanting to do a build on this car for a while just haven't had the ability to because of the fact of the uh lack of steering angle which we now have fixed with the update so of course we took first on that one so we are going to go in there and get a build on this car and uh see if we can't get this thing sideways get some power out of this car we might have to do an engine swap who knows but uh I'll catch you guys when we get to the garage and uh we'll get this thing built up all right so let's see what we can do first here in the uh conversion aspect of it we can do an engine swap of course we can go up to v6 v8 or a 4 rotor uh we can do a turbo or a supercharger which would probably be doing a turbo on this car I don't think we can do any modifications on we can do a really big wing or we can take off the little duct spoiler but we'll leave it all on there so first thing we need to do is check out what tires and this thing is on sport tires that is why it is definitely gripping very well increase the fronts 235s increase the backs to 245s a little bit of a stagger and then uh throw on some interestingly uh light wheels hopefully I think I'm in the wrong aspect of light wheels do like the Yankees on there but I think we need something with a little bit of definition although five star gram lights we'll go with those so like I said we are doing a grip to drift build challenge to see what we can do with this car it is definitely a cool looking car on the inside with the full cage exposed roof gone so not a car you'd want to take into the rain but um you know it's forza we don't worry about it throw all these parts on there brakes hopefully it actually allows us to put your suspension up yep there it is angle kit yes I know and kick is me more steering angle install angle kit and this car is already light but we'll make it even lighter now let's see how much power we can get out of this thing on the stock motor because I am enjoying doing stock motor builds recently and not doing motor swaps so let's see what we can accomplish with this I mean it doesn't weigh much we're almost we're at like 300 we'll be at over 300 I think we will probably have to add a turbo to this thing and uh just give it a uh really big bump in horsepower because I think yep 360 we could give it a shot at what it is now and then we decide we need to add a turbo we can always add a turbo because we have the ability to add turbos in the game so we're gonna back out and we're gonna go to the tuning aspect of this car and uh get the suspension lowered and change our tire pressures up get everything to a baseline tune and then we will go from there we're gonna leave all that add a little bit so at high caster good steering angle slow these a little bit but not much because we're gonna see how it handles stock without adjustments on this angle kit a little bit higher in the front for uh nose diving for transitions and weight transfer definitely gonna have to drop these brakes down so we can maybe get a drag brake going for tandems if we can get some tandems we may take this on to an online session so that's why we did that and then we will put it on there and there we go that actually sits pretty pretty nice and low I do like it so we're gonna head to the track I'll catch you guys when we get to the track and we will uh well I don't think we want to do circuit day katalunya because we gotta go drift time-draze circuit drift there we go five to five minutes and where do we want to go with this car I mean we were at limerock so we could always throw it at limerock again and see since we were there for the grip section we're throw it at limerock see if we can't get uh combine those turns but definitely curious how the steering angle is going to work on this car since it did not have much to begin with and it is a race spec car air quotes so we're gonna see how this works definitely super excited to do this and uh because if this works then you know we can make any cars drift cars really with an angle kit which you know is kind of uh the idea of you know the angle kit to make any car a drift car I want to make sure it's on the standing nope I want to do standing start there we go so mx5 cup car switched over converted to basically drift car so let's see how this goes the car looks through it yep oh my gosh so steering angle now is so much and uh this should be good to go sideways for us and uh we're just gonna send it I don't think the power is there though but the angle is definitely there now so now the car has plenty of angle in the steering so I think we probably need a turbo kit for a little more power for this track as we go off track his head's just bobbing back and forth so we may need a turbo to get you know some more higher speed sections of tracks click it in so the angle on this car is definitely there now so the suspension feels okay it's there because we can just grab that right there I think a turbo might make this car a lot more fun but it's not too bad not too bad for a first uh throw out there get a little first person action going I really wish the wheel wheel would go 900 degrees we're just running that grass line right now I apparently I guess I just a little bit better at first person now well we'll clutch grab there to make sure we didn't over rotate I don't have to do that as much anymore with the steering angle kit so switched up to no steering wheel that's gonna hit the tires so I think we're gonna throw a turbo on this car because I think a turbo would make this car that much better so we're going to hop back real quick advantage of this now we do not have to quit so that was one of the biggest updates that they ever did on this including the drift suspension so we're in an upgrade shop we're going to throw a turbo on the car doesn't put it up too much but once we upgrade the turbo we should be upwards of a decent amount of power 435 453 and a little meata turbo meata this should give us enough power if not maybe we'll be doing a v8 swap and make some interesting angle choices in a v8 meata so now that we are got a turbo in here let's feel a little little flutter and all the the crackles from this car so see how much the turbo makes the difference we may have swapped this thing to a v8 or not I definitely like how this thing handles right now with that turbo we'll tap the brake there change of angle we wouldn't cut that grass we would have been a lot the angle kits make these cars so so much more fun to drive and so much more angled to be thrown that's what I was gonna wreck my car so if you guys are enjoying the angle kits like I am let me know down the comment section what have you guys built that doesn't normally drift did you build something that was maybe a different car that wouldn't normally be a drift car because I know I have a few of those that I want to bring out maybe another episode of building a let's build a drift car on a car that's not a drift car you know a swapped car that we know didn't have enough angle to begin with like say honey Veloster Veloster N maybe uh maybe a Civic you know because I'm pretty sure a lot of the Honda boys that like you know all the Honda cars are running Rural Drive converted Hondas now with angle kits and they're probably shredding just as hard as all the Rural Drive cars in the game so I feel like I don't need as much tow on the car anymore with this uh angle kits I feel like I'm going to adjust that a little bit but I totally forgot that we can link entire tracks now I forgot that was also part of it we're it's not just certain sections now which oh I was like oh we're just gonna bang red line and try and manji that so let's see if we can actually link this entire track without losing our drift scores that's not gonna so we're gonna start at the line or the first turn and we'll try and go so we are gonna see if we can actually link this track and keep our drift scores to the longevity of the entire track with this little Miata that angle is just so much oh now we gotta keep manging this we apparently miss that manji for half a second I have a feeling uh online sessions are gonna become manji fests now because the ability to get points everywhere like this yeah we're not gonna be able to do that in this car but this Miata is definitely getting down I think I need to turn the tow down a little bit because we used to have to run a lot of front tow to try and get angle out of these cars but with this angle kit now I don't think we have to so let's go make that quick adjustment and see how that changes so so far not options so so far this uh grip to drift is uh working out quite well so like I said I'm gonna probably be doing some other ones that are not meant to be drift cars that we will make drift cars what is the weirdest drift car you made in the game that wasn't supposed to be a drift car but is now because of the angle kits let me know I'm very interested to see what kind of builds people are making because I haven't hopped on an online session yet with these cars so I haven't been to an online session with these uh angle kits yet or scoring to see how far behind in points I'm gonna be because of everybody you know doing the mongeys down the straight so see how much getting rid of all that tow affects us because normally when you get rid of a lot of tow you didn't have anywhere near enough steering angle in the cars but now that we have actually changed a lot but now that we have 60 degrees of angle in the angle kits that's not bad I feel like I have to work a little bit harder though with almost zero tow we are gonna try and mongey this section out nope we're gonna lose it all in the grass so I feel like getting rid of the tow does make a big dramatic difference in my steering response in the front of the car so we are gonna probably end up putting tow back into this car because on a wheel that makes a bit of a difference as you can see I'm almost fighting to keep angle now unlike the other one that was before I wasn't really fighting to keep angle so you still need to run some tow on these cars see I'm not holding as much angle now as I think I should but the mongeys are good I was gonna try and throw a 360 but I didn't so I think that's gonna do it here for this episode here on grip to drift challenge on the mx5 so you guys like to see you want to see more let me know down in the comment section down below what is the weirdest car you guys have built so far I'm very curious to see I'm wondering did they have more smoke it seems like they almost added more smoke because I don't remember they're being this much smoke when I was doing donuts before so if they did and you or if I'm crazy let me know down in the comment section down below like I said let me know your craziest build that you've done with this new angle kit because I will be doing some crazy builds here soon so until next time you guys know if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all of which are found in the description box below and as always like thank you guys for watching I think there's more smoke I'm EvilRabbit there's definitely more I'm out
