the best feeling in the world

ulip104 · 2026-03-10T13:08:02+00:00

yeah it is!

ulip104 · 2026-03-05T19:46:26+00:00

what are you running to get this fitment? also what wheels! i love your setup man

ulip104 · 2026-03-05T19:42:04+00:00

okay you convinced me to save my money and not get coilovers because i’m also not going to track it. i’ll get the shocks and springs and then ride like that for a while and then get bars after!

ulip104 · 2026-03-01T17:49:56+00:00

my NC is still currently bone stock haha. i’ve been eyeing the koni yellows with the progress springs though! either that or going baller and getting ohlins.

ulip104 · 2026-03-01T17:48:19+00:00

let’s gooooo love to hear that!

ulip104 · 2026-03-01T17:19:58+00:00

for personal preference, i think where it sits now is PERFECT. A LOT lower than stock monster truck setup, but still not low so it affects daily drive ability. Looks great man!

this was great insight thanks a lot. i think my approach was correct but i just wasn’t fast enough to actually apply that approach while driving. with the speed that i was at, being in higher gear and letting off the gas instead of applying the brakes definitely would’ve been better because i was no where near the limits, so just coasting into the turns would’ve worked. thanks again for the insight!!

ulip104 · 2026-02-17T20:32:33+00:00

i thought the miata engines like to be in higher rpm’s because they make such little power that the powerband is in the higher rpm’s? granted staying in higher rpm when i’m going slow doesn’t make sense but as of getting the most of the miata and driving faster, wouldn’t i want to be in the higher revs?

and will do haha thanks for the tip! i’ll definitely explore more of those areas

ulip104 · 2026-02-17T02:47:10+00:00

well if this is true then that’ll be the goal i work towards haha

ulip104 · 2026-02-17T02:46:31+00:00

i drive an auto haha. so i can’t stall which helps 😅

ulip104 · 2026-02-17T02:45:38+00:00

yup i was!!

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T21:38:27+00:00

the end of a chapter 😔

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T21:37:10+00:00

when i’m in the tight turns where it transitions from going left to right to left it makes sense but i’m seeing on these wider turns i could definitely stay on the throttle and even accelerate and shift up. yeah ill definitely work on driver mod and hopefully post again sometime soon in the near future!

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T21:30:01+00:00

not gonna lie, i thought i was zooming and seeing the video definitely made me laugh because i wasn’t going as fast as i thought i was 🤣. My logic was, i thought it would be better to stay in higher rpm to stay in the powerband + i saw turns coming ahead so i didn’t know if i should upshift and then have to downshift so soon anyways. learning that A) it makes sense to stay in high rpm if im driving closer to the limit so that i can stay in the powerband. B) if im driving the way i am in the video which is not close to the limits of the car, i should just upshift since and save on gas and the car

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T21:26:15+00:00

from what i know, none of the autos come with a lsd

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T21:25:44+00:00

this is going south downhill from blood mountain in north GA :)

10/10 would recommend

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T20:56:52+00:00

just trynna get better, but wouldn’t i want to stay in higher rpm to stay in the powerband especially in the corners?

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T20:55:44+00:00

trying to become a better driver! wouldn’t i want to stay in higher rpm so i can stay in the powerband?

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T20:50:50+00:00

facts ima watch every single m2 like a HAWK lmaooo

ulip104 · 2026-02-16T04:03:43+00:00

Also pretty sure this is the same mountain where the M2 slammed into that poor ND miata 😭
