In this thrilling episode of Donut, the team takes on the audacious task of turning a humble 1997 Mazda Miata into a jaw-dropping low rider. Led by the expert guidance of the legendary John from Long Beach, they dive headfirst into the world of hydraulics. Facing challenges like the absence of a plug-and-play kit for the Miata and their own lack of experience, the team embarks on a journey filled with excitement and uncertainty.

With a mix of determination and grit, the team dismantles stock parts to make way for the intricate hydraulic system. From switches to solenoids, batteries to pumps, every component is meticulously installed to bring this Miata to life. John's expertise shines as he customizes struts to fit the new cylinders, ensuring that the bouncing effect is nothing short of spectacular.

As the project progresses, challenges arise with limited space in the Miata, particularly when running oil lines. Despite setbacks, the team perseveres, mounting batteries, fabricating cylinders, and meticulously testing the hydraulic system for any potential leaks. John's keen eye for detail saves the day as he adjusts the suspension to prevent any unwanted damage to the hood, ensuring a flawless finish to the transformation.

In a triumphant finale, the team successfully wires switches and solenoids, bringing the hydraulics under their control. The Miata is reborn as a fully functional low rider, a testament to the team's hard work, dedication, and the expert guidance of the incomparable John. This transformation is not just about a car; it's a testament to the passion, skill, and unwavering spirit of automotive enthusiasts pushing boundaries and redefining what's possible in the world of custom car builds.
