 What's up everybody welcome back to the channel I'm evil rabbit here I'm forza motorsports 7 so if you guys tuned in the last episode you guys know I did unlock an achievement and I was scouring trying to find this car and I found it I just had to go accept it so we are staring down that Forza edition Mazda MX-5 wide body with that nasty big spoiler like Mike Amaro so today we are here today to do a full drift build on this car this is a car I've been wanting to get to do a drift build on so we're gonna see if we can't get this short wheel based light little rocket ship sideways and have a little fun so we're gonna hop right into it we're gonna get the tuning on this car going I have not touched it yet so we are gonna go and take a look at what we're running with I believe we are probably running a stock motor we are we may switch it up we may do a four rotor I'm not sure as for aspiration I think we're just gonna straight up we're gonna turbo it to start and uh we're gonna go from there we're gonna leave I believe oh we can go sport so it's on stock sport and race so we can go sport tires we are gonna do sport tires on this car and we're gonna keep 245s in the front and 255s in the rear we definitely got to change those wheels not a not a huge fan of those big spoke wheels I am feeling some 1552s though so we're gonna go with those concave 1552s I think we are going to stick with the 18 inch wheels that are on the car I hope this car gets low enough to where it's decently you know dropped we're gonna throw all transmission drivetrain everything on as well as a diff nope we don't want that diff we want that diff there we go and then we are gonna go into suspension uh we're gonna keep the sway bars off we're gonna put a roll cage in it we are at 2,100 pounds I believe we're gonna leave that weight there and now to add power I believe it's already on race suspension so we should be okay we see how much power we can get out of this turbo stock motor like I said we may be switching to a four rotor depending on how this thing drives definitely intrigued with the short wheelbase haven't drifted many me out as my friend who ate my hamster has drifted a lot of them and uh he's pretty good with it so we're gonna see how this little mx5 wide body does and now we're back down that's 2,000 pounds this thing is light for sure so we're at 603 horsepower and not a lot of power but like I said we are gonna probably just see how this goes first and then we will modify it from there right so now let's uh see if we can't find a pretty interesting paint job for this car I was hoping we could have a you know man like with that uh we do have one but I do not believe that is his new car that's just a Mazda racecar car so we're gonna see maybe if we can find a formula drift let's see let's do formula D any veins got nope nope none all right so let's do one last search we'll just do drift if not maybe we'll just uh what am I spelling maybe we'll just leave it how it is and just rip it because you know it may not handle as well as I'd hoped but we will see I'm determined to try to get this thing going sideways it looks pretty nasty and uh hopefully we can get it lowered enough to make it look good so I think we're just gonna go with a basic um just gonna do a basic paint on this car we only have red manufacturers I kind of feel in a little bit of a blue though so we're gonna drop yeah you know what we'll just leave it red and uh we'll just throw on some white wheels just you know for the haters his white wheels on the red car but I do like white wheels there are a pretty sweet additive Ryan Turk is rocking the new white wheels on his car this year and his car is red so you know haters gonna hate so let's kick into tuning this and we're going to dart off by dropping the tire pressures we'll do a basic tune on it and we will send it to the track and uh see how it goes this thing is already got a lot of camber in here drop that down a little bit and then we are gonna see how this thing handles not sure what track I want to send this to yet but we are definitely gonna send it yeah that thing's high drop this make it nice and soft I hopefully that drops it enough to make it look halfway decent because right now it's uh it's pretty monster truck so we're gonna leave that all there we're gonna drop our braking down not that much and then we're gonna kick our diff up and go with that all right so it's a little bit lower not as low as I would like it to be there's still a bit of a fender gap but uh we'll go with it and we'll uh see how it runs we are not gonna run at there we're actually gonna run drift and I have not drifted at Maple Valley in a few so I feel like we're gonna hit Maple Valley circuit and see if we can get this thing sideways here at Maple Valley so if you guys have this Mx5 and you guys have built it for a drift tune let me know if not maybe you guys are uh don't have it but I did get it in the forces on so make sure you guys get it yourselves um it does look pretty aggressive though I mean hopefully I don't like this car more than I like my Camaro I'm gonna be switching cars up real quick with four pound one of ESDA but you know we will see so we're gonna get the wheel cam turned on we got our g920 off set up with our energy wheel and uh we're just gonna go straight into it it's just kind of cool it being a convertible I wish it was a full cage but so stock turbo motor you see how this thing goes sounds pretty sweet I don't think it has the power though for this uh handling on it's pretty well though uh yeah I think the power is definitely not there as we completely just wrecked our brand new car the power is not there for the sweeper as much with the sticky tires but oh man this thing handles very well it has some pretty decent lock where I definitely can feel some changes that we're gonna have to make on this car and uh yeah I can definitely tell some changes that I need to make in suspension but uh first impression of the car though sounds sick looks sick I liked that little flutter I was hoping I'd hold that in there but I held the handbrake too long yep so I definitely feel I need to make some changes to suspension a little bit but it's close definitely close so we're gonna go make those changes before we are make a complete fool of ourselves with this car and um so we're gonna go into tuning I'm gonna tune this a little bit I think we're gonna leave tire pressure gearing gonna go for a little bit more speed alignment we're gonna knock this down we're gonna knock this up a little bit and knock that as well and then I think we're gonna pop this one up a little bit to give it there and I think that's the mild adjustments we're gonna make I think we're gonna change tracks though um let's see where should we go go to Magello go to Prague we go to Rio uh we're gonna go to Lime Rock we're gonna run at Lime Rock real quick was not sure where I really felt like running this but we're gonna run at Lime Rock we may end up throwing this at Long Beach to final this off to see how does it a Long Beach run but uh Salamiaba's uh definitely got some uh got some pep in its step but I think that quad rotor might make it a little bit faster so we may switch to a quad rotor after this run but I do like how this how this sounds with that little flutter those wide tires is sticking out these are changes we made work that does feel a lot better now oh and so you hit the grass like that so short wheelbase definitely something I gotta get used to because uh I'm used to long wheelbase cars and this car is also super light so it's making this a little bit snappy on transitions and it's not how I want it to be so we're gonna make a couple more adjustments I think we may have made it a little bit worse so we're gonna tune this again going to leave the tires leave the gearing bump that up bump that back down and we're actually gonna bump that down a little bit and we will give this one more go for we maybe swap motors might be the motor it might be the weight distribution in this car is a little bit off for my style of driving it might be good for you know somebody else's style of driving but mine's a little bit different I guess for this car so a little better yeah it's very snappy with the short wheelbase but it's definitely a lot of fun it is kind of cool to see it as a convertible though you'll see the driver so this car is actually a lot of fun to drive if you don't have one I would uh if I were to act am I getting one it sounds amazing which we will probably lose that sound once we go quad rotor but we're gonna try drifting this thing in first person right now I was actually trying to get to a different view but we're just gonna run it out here so the short wheelbase definitely a challenge to drive uh I haven't really messed with really short wheelbase cars before so this is a new thing for me and uh it takes a little bit of getting used to that's definitely uh something to be said takes a little bit getting used to the short wheelbase and that's really bumpy too wide I just love that flutter sound it sounds so good and I think we're gonna change it to a quad rotor and make it sound a lot worse but maybe it'll sound even better we're not sure yet so we're gonna go upgrade this we are gonna swap the motor to that quad rotor race motor puts up 26 or 2166 so I believe we do lose our turbo and we just have 736 horsepower straight quad rotor race motor um we're gonna leave all the other tunings the same and we're just gonna send it this miata is definitely uh oh it's an angry V now and all it does is crackle so definitely different sound but the feel of throttle response is pretty nice the guy that was following me in the last episode was running a quad rotor and his fd okay so I may like this thing in a quad rotor um not gonna lie I think the weight bias has changed a little bit and uh the smoothness of the revving and the lack of turbo lag is I think more my style because that's why I am running the Camaro because I like to straight V8 and power on command and this is uh pretty power on command but it is still very twitchy I think some more fine tuning with this car would be pretty uh pretty awesome actually give another run here too much but we saved our points though and uh right back in the drift so quad rotor is definitely uh pretty awesome in this little mx5 it sounds uh very angry it's got a lot of cracking but it is definitely a lot of fun a little clutch kick some mongees so I think I think I may have to spend a little bit more time on this car to get the suspension dialed perfectly but right now it handles pretty pretty well it's definitely a fun little car to drive especially because I'm not used to that style with the short wheel base but I think we are going to head to Long Beach to give it a quick fd run because uh you know fd starts tomorrow qualifying starts tomorrow at Long Beach I believe it starts at four o'clock eastern time starts qualifying tomorrow on uh you know the fd live so I believe that is actually one o'clock their time I believe so we're gonna run this one or two laps here so I hope you guys enjoyed this little uh trial into these short wheel paste drift cars I was super excited when I found this car and I wanted to do something with it I may mess around with it some more and uh maybe make a full you know very well-tuned when I spent some more time on this car but this car it looks amazing I'm glad to see this little uh wide body mx5 in the game and I'm uh excited to see some of the other Kyle Moan bringing his mx5 back in fd this year I believe Matt Mike Woodette as well is coming back and uh excited to hear those uh rotary screaming around the streets at Long Beach echoing so I wish we could turbo this car though when we could make a mad Mike Woodette build but we can't so we're gonna run this 50 roll the echo off the wall was not expecting to snap that hard right there so we're gonna rerun that but this uh this thing sounds mean it's a lot of fun to drive if there are some guys out there that got some good Miata tunes that are subscribed to channel let me know your game or tag if you got the tune up I'd be very very intrigued to try some Miata tunes I may look and see if there's a tune for this car and see you know what it drives like and see if I can't get my own tune to feel as good as say a tune that is downloaded that feels very well so we're gonna give us another go the entry wasn't bad the corner of that bridge so you guys know you guys can follow me on facebook twitch twitter and instagram all of which are found in the description box below as always you know guys I like thank you guys for watching and I do appreciate all the support yep there's some needs some fine tuning done to this car so until next time guys I'm evil rabbit and I'm out
