It may be the tyre of choice for Ken Block and countless other Motorsport heros, but how does the Toyo Proxies R888R perform on the street? In this quick review I give you my impressions after a few weeks of driving the car around, and take you on a quick mountain run. _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedmediaofficial Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boostedmediaofficial ]]> Fri 02 Mar 2018 20:21:53 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9826/grip-for-days-toyo-r888r-semi-slick-tyres-quick-road-test-review/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9879/project-mx5-diy-mx5-miata-rear-bumper-cut/
In this video I show you how i went about a rear bumper cut on my MX5. There's plenty of different methods out there, this is what worked for me.

In this quick video I show you how to strip your doors down and remove the door cards, external door handles, rubber trim and mirror. In my case I did this to prep for wrapping. It's a lot easier to wrap your doors, mirrors and handles if they're not on the car. To reinstall, simply reverse the process. Please keep in mind that the car is not secure all the time that the handles are removed. _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Music: Liquicity Records: https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords ]]> Sun 22 Oct 2017 20:33:43 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9908/project-mx5-how-to-remove-external-door-handles-mirrors-trim-door-cards/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9949/how-to-wrap-a-car-part-1-preparing-the-body-for-wrapping/
Over the weekend I got started on prepping the MX5 bodywork for wrapping. There's quite a few little dents and marks which need to be fixed up before wrapping the car to ensure a quality and long lasting result. I'm not a professional, and I've deliberately kept this video relatively vague because I'm sure there's a tonne of stuff I'm doing wrong. That said, I was able to achieve the desired result so I guess I can't have screwed up too badly! Either way, let me know what I could improve on in the comments and I'll note these things in the next video so we can continue to learn together as a community! _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Music: Procrastination by Kenny Segal https://soundcloud.com/kennysegal/ Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported— CC BY-SA 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

No 15 minute challenges, no bikinis (sorry) and no skipping over the details. In this video I show you how to install a set of coilovers in to an NB MX5. The process is almost identical for NA, and a lot of the same principles apply to just about every car. The video also covers the features and benefits of MCA Suspension coilovers, and why I chose them for Project MX5. As someone who had never done anything like this before, the whole process took me around 4-5 hours on my own, and would definately be faster the next time having learned a few lessons in the process which are all covered in the video. I'd say allowing an hour per corner is reasonable. Faster still if you have a helper. The only difficult part was getting the top nuts on the rear struts whilst holding them in place. I managed on one side but ended up getting helper on the other side to speed things up a bit and reduce the risk of dropping my shiny new MCA X-R coilovers.  Equipment & Tools Required: Jack (or Hoist) 4 x Jack Stands (or Hoist) A flat and even surface to work on Wheel nut adaptor to suit your wheel nuts Gloves (Optional but your hands will get VERY dirty without them!) Torque Wrench (up to 95NM) Breaker Bar (or 17mm wheel brace) Deep Socket Set - (12mm - 20mm) Ratchet Extension Bar to suit Ratched/Sockets 17mm Spanner Hex keys or Hex Head set for Ratchet Penetrating lubricant to assist with bolt removal (I used WD-40) Spring Compressors (Optional but recommended if you're doing this on your own) _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Music: Liquicity Records: https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords Gardnsound: Livid and GARDNSOUND.

Here's a quick video update on what you can expect over the coming weeks from Project MX5. As you can see, the car is in a bit of a state at the moment, with a few "half done" mods that need to be finished off. I also have coilovers and Wrap ready to happen! My aim is to have it back on the road properly and off to some motorkhana in the very near future. As I mentioned in the video, I am a total n00b with most of the stuff I'm going to be doing over the next little while, so any comments or suggestions are VERY welcome! _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Music: Liquicity Records: https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords ]]> Thu 03 Aug 2017 20:45:34 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/9994/project-mx5-august-update-wheels-tyres-coilovers-wrap-and-more/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/10016/mx5-miata-nb-facelift-part-3-indicator-parker-wiring/
In this video we continue on where we left off in Part 2, and complete our NB2 headlight swap by wiring up the Indicators and Parking Globes. No fancy tricks or complex wiring here, but there are a few thigns you need to do to get plugs to reach and sockets to fit. If you missed the Part 2 showing how to correctly wire up the High and Low Beam circuit so that it functions exactly like a real NB2, WITH working High Beam Indicator Lamp on the dash, make sure you check out PART 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxJbmIKp2KM _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Category Autos & Vehicles MUSIC: Liquicity Records: https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords ]]> Sat 29 Jul 2017 20:48:10 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/10016/mx5-miata-nb-facelift-part-3-indicator-parker-wiring/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/10027/mx5-miata-nb-facelift-part-1-removing-the-bumper-and-headlights/
In this quick video I show you how to remove the front bumper and headlights on your NB MX5 Miata to make way for the facelifted 2001+ model parts. The only tools required are a flat blade screwdriver and 10mm socket or spanner. In the next part we'll be taking a look at wiring up a new headlight circuit to drive the NB2 headlights as they are from factory. _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Category Autos & Vehicles MUSIC: Liquicity Records: https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords ]]> Mon 17 Jul 2017 20:49:54 +0200 https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/10027/mx5-miata-nb-facelift-part-1-removing-the-bumper-and-headlights/ https://www.gnarpowpow.com/videos/10076/headlight-modification-part-3-how-to-paint-headlights/

You can never have too much chassis stiffness. Weight aside, the more the better. Chassis bracing maintains alignment angles and spring rates by greatly reducing body or chassis flex. In fact, it helps every component in the suspension system do its job properly and you can feel the difference through improved turn-in, sharper steering response along with greater steering feedback. In this short video I show you how to install a Strut Brace, and give a quick review of my initial impressions when used in conjunction with the stock suspension. I anticipate that the difference will be more profound once I am runnign stiffer coilover suspension as this will absorb less torsional load and transfer more twisting force through to the chassis of the car. _____________________________________________________ Got an idea for a video? - Let me know in the comments below Check out the Boosted Autos Website: - http://www.boostedautos.net Enjoying the free content and want to support this channel? https://www.patreon.com/boostedautos Get involved on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/boostedautos Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boosted_autos !!!DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE!!! www.boostedautos.net/youtube Category Autos & Vehicles MUSIC: TRACK 1: Provided by Liquicity Records. https://soundcloud.com/liquicityrecords TRACK 2: Warm by Joey Pecoraro https://soundcloud.com/joeypecoraro Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
