 What's up everybody, I'm Uber Revan. We are here on Forza Motorsports 7 staring at that wide-bodied MX-5 Forza edition today. We are going to be building a possible new ESD-8 car for 2019 with the 2019 year coming up very very soon with new years right around the corner. It is time to get into the grind to be building a new ESD-8 car or possibly running the same car that I was running last year with a new modified tune. But I've been very curious on doing a build on this MX-5. I know I've done one before but now it is the new settings, new setup, drift suspension so we're going to get into it and see what we're going to do with this car. I believe we are going to leave the stock motor in, I believe. I'm not sure if we're going to do the V8 or the quad rotor. We're going to leave the stock motor in for right now so we can get out of the stock motor but I believe we are going to supercharge it because I like superchargers so we're going to throw a supercharger on it and then we're going to go get into the normal nitty-gritty so far. We're going to throw that drift suspension on. Of course we've got to run drift suspension because it is allowed in ESDA this year so we're going to get that installed. We're going to get a roll cage installed because that's also required by ESDA rules and then we've got to determine what weight we're going to be at because that's the biggest kicker for tire width. Let's check what our main what our factory tire width is right now in the rear. It is a 255 so 255 is 2300 pounds or heavier up to 2700 is 215 and below so I need to see weight because right now we're at 21 so it's a very light car so I'm wondering if 255 so max tire size is 255 for 20 basically up to 2300 pounds I believe so we are good running it at 2100 pounds I'm going to make sure I double check rules to make sure that I am correct and we're going to have to get all of this information on here for all of our drivetrain components because we do want all of this stuff installed which all of it is legal so we are going to go and make sure we are on sport tires we are not we're on stocks so we are on stock streets so we can do sport tires on the car well we have to run sport tires on the car so we are going to switch to sport tire compounds which I'm surprised are not the street tires so we are going to be running sports and we're going to be leaving 245s in the front and 255s in the rear because we can only go up to 275 but the car has to be 2800 pounds or heavier to go up to a 275 that is a big tire that's a big car I believe my other my AC Camaro was running almost 315s so we got to figure out what what wheels we're gonna want to rock I'm still feeling these but I think we're going to do maybe some HREs I haven't fully decided what ooh those are kind of nice we're gonna go with those right now I believe we are gonna be running I believe these are 19s or they're 18s and the car is just really small they are 18s we're gonna run 18s so now we're gonna go into power which we're gonna see how much power we can make out of this car I want to make sure that I have a decent amount of power about too much power I believe my car last year had way too much power and then we will get into the tuning and the nitty gritty of it I feel like I've already installed all these parts before and that's why it's not costing me really any money to upgrade this car until we get to the supercharger that is where money will come into play so it's 563 I'm wondering if this is gonna be I mean the cars very light so this may be overkill in power 564 2100 pounds that might be overkill on power but we are going to we can't add brakes to this can we hopefully we have fully adjustable brakes because there's no a break upgrade hopefully we have adjustable brakes because that would make this very interesting if we did not have the ability to just our brakes so let's go into tuning make sure we can adjust our brakes we can't okay we're good I was making sure we can adjust our brake pressure because I didn't have the option so we're gonna run our brakes down to 50 and we're gonna kick our diff up to 175 to start and then of course we're gonna throw his car in and do some fine tune testing on the car and make sure we leave all that there soften it up a little bit we're gonna make some very fine adjustments to this car once we hit the track we're gonna lower it within as far as we can to start off and we're gonna soften sway bars I feel like we're just gonna kick in some camber and some tow and throw in some castor angle keep 60 degrees we're gonna leave our gearing set how it is we're gonna drop our tire pressures and then we will hit the track and see how how she handles like this and see if this is a decent car to run or not so we're going to hit the track I'm not sure which track we're gonna run but we will probably find find our way to Long Beach after we see if this car is a decent gripping or drifting car I say gripping oh we're already at Long Beach so I guess we might as well just chuck it at Long Beach and go for go for the gusto right away we are on logic G920 with energy innovations wheel hydraulic handbrake and sequential shifter we're just gonna go straight for the gusto on Long Beach and see if we can just do a basic Long Beach run in this car and see how it handles to start so I'm very curious about switching cars this year for ESDA and looking to try and qualify for some rounds definitely bringing all the ESDA content to you guys when I am hopefully we'll be able to get into some rounds and get into into tandem battles so we're just gonna hop right to it kick it around keep up our tires a little bit gearing feels pretty good we're probably gonna be a third gear third gear car here first impressions on it feels somewhat stable kind of like my Camaro does I feel like the power is there and the grip levels we got some tweaking to do but for a basic run it seems to be a pretty decent pretty decent build on this be very cool to run this MX-5 in ESDA may try and get some help tuning from some some friends and get this car tuning right and see if we can't make it a good handling car so we're gonna check it in say off the wall a little bit that one just to get used to it I do need to be a lot deeper there but I feel like we need to adjust our gear ratio because I don't think fourth gear would work too well so we're probably gonna want to adjust that gear ratio real quick for a little more speed grab a controller I'm gonna go a little more speed because I do like drifting in third gear I probably could do fourth but I could sit there and fine-tune each individual gear and make it even better but so far the car does handle pretty well it does rotate very fairly quickly but I think that has to do with a very short wheelbase the supercharger definitely adds a nice power curve to it and it's not a like on-off power like a turbo it's a nice smooth gradual increase so personally I just like superchargers I love turbos but for the power on command and no turbo lag superchargers definitely the way to go we'll try to run this again we'll probably be taking this car to a drift hopper probably a little bit better of an entry that's not gonna be good that is definitely not gonna be good what I realized is I should probably have alright so I totally forgot to turn my dashboard on so I think there's some fine-tuning that needs to be made to the suspension tune a little bit and I think it has to do with some manual bars don't like the stiffness of it so we're gonna drop it down some we're just trying to get it to handle somewhat decent right now and then of course if I decide I want to keep working this car I will continue to fine-tune the settings more and more as I progress with the car but I just need to find my chassis that I like to use advantages are allowing one car swap this year so if I decide to use a different car I can do swap back to my Camaro that I know I'm pretty comfortable in if I feel this car is not working in my favor that's a little better that was not what I wanted to do but at least we were able to somewhat get a full pull the gearing does feel a little bit better so I feel the fine-tuning of this suspension will have to come with time but I do kind of like the chassis so I think I'm going to be probably using the MX5 chassis and maybe the Camaro chassis unless I decide something different of course if I decide something different I'll let you guys know so I know a lot of people liked watching the ESD endeavor last year with a little bit that I did do so hopefully I can do better and have more content with the ESDA this year and actually get into the qualifying and actually get into some battles I know practice is a lot of fun as well as qualifying is nerve-wracking but this year I'll probably be a little bit more a little more poised and a little less nervous so with the 2019 ESDA season coming up very soon I'm looking to hone my drifting skills hone my cartoons and get a well-dialed car so that we can do decent in ESDA this year I don't really want to race in the rain so I'm gonna try to find one more drift hopper if we can that isn't in the rain and maybe see if we can't shred some doors in this Miata so like I said if you guys are competing in ESDA let me know in the comment section down below cars which has see you guys running which I see do you like oh Rio I can get down with the Rio so I'm between my Camaro the MX5 or another one or two cars which I'm not sure if I'm gonna run so we're gonna run Rio Mountain Circuit reversed which is gonna be weird because it's gonna be uphill I think I think I've run this before we see if we can't get some doors here in the semics five the new potential ESDA car for 2019 season like I said 2019 seasons right around the corner because 2019 is a few weeks away it is Christmas next week I cannot believe this year is already gone so we are going to try and see if we can't get some doors with the semics five and try and have a little fun here on the Rio Mountain circuit in this car see if we can't get a little bit comfortable with it it is different with the short wheelbase so it's a matter of getting comfortable with this car to decide if I want to use it or not so a better way to throw it in than the Rio Mountain right now I think the ratio is pretty good I love the steering of this car a lot of left foot braking oh don't hit him I've actually never run this course in reverse well there we all I already lost the wing well this wing comes off a lot easier than the Camaro the wing does this is weird coming out this hill I don't know if I'm a fan too much and realize he was slowing down that much oh my that lag that lag got me the lag caused me to lose it so we're gonna see if we can't regain it now we lost the tail light we're not gonna have a car left to run he is DA in if I keep this up I would like to run that a little bit wider but I mean the car does handle fairly well and I feel like I could get used to it and get down with it with a little fine tuning of the suspension of course because I don't don't feel the suspension is there yet I think I should have been going sideways trying to stay really hard on the brakes we may switch up to the Camaro and see how the Camaro runs here to give us like a baseline because you all know I'm super comfortable in that Camaro and I know probably some people are saying well if I'm super comfortable in the Camaro why would I switch chassis well it's a new year a new chassis new car gotta try and change up the game a little bit and who wants to see the same car running again all right I think we're gonna switch up to the Camaro and see if the Camaro handles just as good here on Rio because Miata's a pretty twitchy so like I said if you guys were in the USDA or planning on running USDA let me know down in the comment section down below what chassis you guys thinking what you guys think I should drive you guys been following the channel for a while so you know my driving style what chassis do you think I should drive in the USDA and so let me know what you guys think so now we're gonna rip this car because this car I know a little bit left and right and sideways I did change the power on this car a little bit I did lower the power curve a little bit and take some power out so oh too much left for break I thought he was gonna go faster so this track is just goofy my wheel feels a little bit weird on this track oh we lost our mirror but at least that's the only thing we lost just tap lost tail light now so I think that's gonna do it here for this episode here a little look at possible car of USDA 2019 like I said let me know what you guys think about it let me know down the comment section below and as always make sure you guys follow me on Instagram and Twitter all of which found in the description box below and as always I think you guys come back like thank you guys for watching I'll be rabbit oh boy how about we got it though
