Please make some updates on this car and more videos! We need more ND content

I own a 2020 Club 6MT. it’s incredible even in stock form. Get some thicker tires, bigger brakes, a header and exhaust, and your hood to go. It’s amazing. And still get almost 38mpg highway !

I own the 17' RF with 27/16mm sway bars, coilovers, 16x9 wheels, ND Roadster sport exhaust and it's an absolute dream of a DD + canyon carver.

You said you are running a front Progress sway bar and OEM or Megan Racing rear, but the video clearly showed Karcepts front and rear bars.

"If you want to learn a little about this car..." In this short vid, I just had a condensed introduction to tracking/daily driving a MX5!! Thanks.

Great video! Very interested to know at what point the seat lowering brackets are needed for track work/ helmet wearing? I'm 5' 11"

[MeetInvesting]

Great video. You mentioned you use a hybrid Hans. Mind sharing which make and model you use and would recommend? Is it Simpson hybrid sports? Thanks!

[Aheitchoo]

You can lower it 1.75in without worrying about roll center correction?

[robertlaw]

Good video. Was wondering if you looked at changing the LSD to the OS Giken

Meanwhile Andy showed up to TT Nats 21 in a CRX that fell in M4 along with my ND1... and he beat the everlinving snot out of everyone in class and set a 2:16 class lap record for that track (NCM). I was thrilled to see his McLaren roll in to Road Atlanta.

[LiveHappy]

Would you recommend an ND RF for both track days and daily driver? I’ve heard there maybe issues getting on track due Rfs not keen to roll bars.

[driver]

Great video, really like all the details about car. But I would have to suggest that NC is better track option because it cost 1/2 of ND . Any car you track on weekly basis will be in pretty bad shape in a year, so starting with half of the cost for same performance might be better option.

Andy what are your thoughts on flyin Miata sway bars vs roadsters sport sway bars from good win racing.

[willrobbins]

Great video! I'm in the process of prepping an ND2 for S5 and am going this same basic route. One question - with the Flyin' Miata springs, did you use the bump stops they recommend (stock front, shorter rear) or did you use some of the shorter/harder options similar to what a lot of people use in CS?

[caseyquillen]

What tire size are you using on the 9in wide wheels? The wider wheels are never covered in the online articles.

[flyersaz]

great video. What upgrades do you recommend if want to run in SCCA CS autocross class?

[davideslampe]

Awesome vid, very informative.
I see some track footage from The Firm. Are you running there? Great track in Starke, FL that few people know about.

[dwang]

Hey whats the hybrid hans device you use?

[howardhutchinson]

Name of said head & neck restraint please?

[MrDroid]

Will that suspension combo put you put of stock class in autox? Great video 👍
