Miata Front LONG TRAVEL Done! HAVOLINE X OFFBEAT

when i decide on my next car, i think i'm going to do a long travel on my 09 Acura TSX, among other things. i love this extreme safari/rally shenanigan's

Do you do these conversions for outsiders? If someone were to bring you a 51 GMC could you do a long travel mod on it? What city?

why did you stop making videos, please continue

This is my dream build but I have 0 experience with welding, and no welder. Would you ever consider rebuilding this setup for someone? 😉😉

Liked this shit before I even saw it

I wouldn’t worry too much about the shock itself, If you get a stiffer spring it might raise it just slightly and give you a little more length on the plunger but suspension like that is made to drop more than compress.

Better plate the intire lower control arm as it's a stamped peace and is a weak link if you jump it it will bend and snap the welds of lower control arms without plaiting them

Dude if you 4 link it I’d be insane!!

Bro you should not wet near those spray cans shit can blow up happened to me once you can burn up your shop or yourself

What tubing did u use?

More metal everywhere, coil angle, stronger tie rods, heim joints, if you want your shit to last yada yada

Bringing tge top of those coilovers further out to straighten out the angle so its more up and down from a near 45° angle will help stiffen that front end up but it will also lift the front end up a but more. Bringing the bottoms in will also lift it more and have the same effect as doing the top for spring rate but youll also have more leverage on the coilover so it wont be as effective. Just encase you want to rework the mounts before buying springs

I got a 1992 Miata but it needs new suspension. I want it to be a little bit higher than the stock miata. What do you recommend?

Haha pretty cool. Should put a bit in the middle of the upper control arms and check how much the wheel turns before adding in some triangulation back to the rear bush on the lower arm though

Wheres the dazy dukes lady? 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

its been a long time since ive seen your vids, since the first 240 builds, and DAMN you had a glow up, you got mad attractive man shheeesh. Proud of you bro!

Maybe 8” over would have been a lot better ...

How to do wheelies in a Miata 101 😂

It looks like a rc car dude I want one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

The geometry is way off

Gayy af

put shocks more upright /vertical , will be stiffer

your lower arms are most likely going to fail if they aren't reinforced with a triangular brace and more gusseting. There's going to be a ton more leverage on them because of the added length so your welds or something else in your setup is going to fail. I would check some vids of long travel off-road builds to give you a better idea of how to reinforce the arms before you do any hard driving. If the lower arms fail, it will cause a chain reaction and break a lot of other stuff too!

Get some dumb high ET rims and you will tuck a bunch of that extention

What welder are you using?

I would add some more bracing to the lower arms. Gonna be a lot of leverage an the chance of twisting that arm all up or folding up

Dope ass work tho. Ur a fucking genius

So hard to watch with the song playing 😫

how about rear? maybe some ford explorer rear solid axle and making 3 link(where in the middle it's a A-form wishbone, perfect up-n-down motion no track rod) suspension?

need some limiter straps. Gonna blow out them coils over the jumps with extension

Just when you thought a miata couldn't get any more gay

Idk why im still subbed, but plz dont let me down.

FUCKING SEND IT!!!!!

Can someone donate a drill press to this guy?

Bruh them tie rods are gnarly 🤯

Dude it looks wild, can't wait to see it finished

Dayuuum that's a long boi!

Should look into limit straps instead of letting the ball joints take all the load at full droop

Ooooh yeeeeeeauuuh!

🔥👌Awesome video!!!👍

Awesome idea bro! I’m totally looking forward to seeing it rolling and jumping!

How the hell are you going to do the rear? I want to see that.

Aweome work.. Gives me some ideas for my lifted mazdaspeed

Those wheels need more MEAT!!

Check the coilangle/leverage.
Reseal, revalve, re pressure and respring, not just spring. You shouldnt be able to compress it too easily without the spring,, thats why springcompressors exist 😂 but i know youve thought about all this already Adel.

Oh, and yes, 10inches woulda sufficed (not what she said?),,,, woulda looked sick with some megaraptor style flared fenders 😁👍

Jeez 3 weeks later

HAHAHAHA!!!! This build is fricken WILD! Keep up the great work.

Double the unsprung weight they said it will be fun they said

Might try moving the shocks/springs to be in a more vertical orientation, that will help them work better anyways, and could help hold the front end up a little higher.
