I mean, it's a stock gearbox with stock synchros. Cleetus Mcfarland still misses the odd shift with his fully built, dog engagement trans in Leroy. Manuals are HARD to drive at high RPM
The biggest thing I take for granted about Adam is that each video he shows many cars getting many different parts. Lots of other you tubers would stretch that out and have a single video for each and every part
FattyAl11 papadakis made a video of when fred aasbo’s engine blew , he said he found material of the spark plug in the cylinder , he said it was cause when he would gap them he would tap it with a socket
@Adam LZ you gotta do shameless plugs more often! more people will appreciate it more, than those who won't. we all enjoy seeing you grow, but always staying grounded.
Adam don’t worry about shouting out merch. Everyone who watches and supports doesn’t care. I wanna see what you guys are putting out so I can keep my wardrobe updated. Keep up the good work.
Adam don’t sweat the comments on your drag racing, your doing the right thing. Take your time work the bugs out, or broken parts out. You doing good man!!
I’m pretty sure cleetus mentioned once that letting Leroy bounce on the limiter for a quick second unloaded the trans and helped with making the shifting easier and faster
Those parkas are amazing, I bought one the day they came out and I still wear it to this day. Personally I like to unzip the liner and wear that around during spring/fall. I've gotten a lot of complements from that parka!
Justin Raspen same here, one of my favorite jackets to wear especially as someone in the north east 😂 just wish he would’ve had black when it came out originally because I don’t want to rebuy it...
For anyone wondering about the parka, it is 110% worth it, I was really hesitant at first because of the price but I’m so glad I bought one, it’s been holding up really strong for the past 2 years. If you’re thinking about getting one just do it!
Been following the channel for some years now and i got a jzx tee and im glad to see that the quality is still there, maybe even better than before. Fits great for tall guys.
im pretty sure the vents lead to nowhere even if you remove them, you basically have to design and cut the holes you need for whatever you are trying to do. I think the fake vents are more for after market body companies to put vents where the fake ones are. You can do it yourself but if you do you might as well start selling it too.
Adam i really would like to see the E92 on the channel more, like another shot at a 10 sec pass, love the content either way. Good luck with chaser in the upcoming events
Swap the stock wheels and axles back onto the supra and take it into the dealer for warranty service. Have showman bring it in and say "its my bosses car "adam whatever your last name"
With spark plugs the best way to do it without torquing is to tighten until snug. Back out and reseat the plug until snug a 2nd time. Then turn 1/4 turn past where it snugs up in turn crushing the crush washer. 😉 trackside/trail side repair tip.
dont worry about them haters Adam. you are a stand up guy, there is no bullshit with u. people saying you shift slow just dont know wtf they r talking about. Keep rippin til shes drippin brother! hell yeah
The merch is well worth the money. Everything is soft and comfortable, plus the designs are great. One thing I do wish would come back is the tan / sand colored sweatshirt though 🙁.
@@user-uo1rn2nb8f iv never seen an 8 sec 2jz daily nor even heard of one being one but regardless that would be the most terrible daily ever, old, no interior which is even worse then original supra interior and coughing and spluttering on cam everywhere you go with a horrible clutch for the cherry on top.. great for track or down a strip for 8 seconds but for road on a daily TERRIBLE! Unless your really really gay for a supra..
@@brucewayne2397 there is a twitch streamer named murda that daily drives a Lexus is300 with a 2jz in it. His personal best is 8.51 but I never said that a 2jz is ideal.. I said that a car in the 9s isnt crazy anymore for a daily. As you probably know most fast cars build for drag racing have automatic trans so I dont know why a horrible clutch was even mentioned..
@@user-uo1rn2nb8f down here we use manuals or a sequential on a supra or any set up for that matter on old cars, americans have always preferred to use automatics, from what iv seen in my time theres many that can't even use the stick where as here we take our tests with a stick. No stick no license but once u pass with a stick ur free to use an auto.
@@brucewayne2397 I agree manual trans are a lot more fun and sequential are really cool but they are quite expensive.. for a couple grand you can have a built turbo 400 that is good for 1000 hp. Then you just need something like a grannas 8.8 rear end, boost by speed, traction control, build the 2jz and a 76/75 turbo then you're in the mid 8s
I think most of us would like for you to let us know if you are coming out with some new merch! Don't worry about what people who have never driven high hp/built manual cars say Adam!
@@_DatBoi499 I know it's up there as far as being expensive and I doubt the Mustang cost as much as the Audi but the 2020 Rs6 Avant is a gem. Who knows with the Lz
It’s not the trans in your Z it’s the driver mod, but definitely change the driveline mounts and subframe mounts which should make the car feel much more solid down the strip.
I noticed that gear change but never commented on it because I new there was something going on that you had to feel out. Another sick eg is when Cletus drove the BMW. SMASHED those gears!! Man, ppl, stop judging so quickly. Ask the question, don’t go n blow sht up.
Just as some advice, there are some plugs that are better than the NGK BKR7EIX, in my old car I used BKR7EIX and the resistance of the plug was 5ohms, so my car kept misfiring, only option I had was to install Audi R8 coils for a stronger spark.. Did some research and found that NGK PFR7S8EG are the same exact plugs but with a resistance of 1ohm, so you'll get a stronger spark. Not sure if it would help these cars tbh but it helped mine alot!
Not gonna lie, I bought extra shirts because of the good quality. You got the best merch quality I have tried! But really, fur? So much good faux fur out there bro, no need to have animals on clothes anymore. It's 2020!
The issue you are seeing with shifting is a few things. Flex in the motor mounts. At that power level, poly mounts are the absolute minimum, in reality, the car should have solid metal mounts. flex in the trans mounts. See above. Flex in the TRANSMISSION. at that power level the entire driveline is starting to flex a bit. Synchro transmission. Synchros are made to have the trans shift nice and quiet at 300hp. at 266% the power, a dogbox conversion is a necessity on a drag car. Don't give the 150 whp crowd the satisfaction of even bringin it up bruh.
Your 335i just sounds so good with exhaust and the pops it makes i haven't seen it in a while lately and your 240SX S13 just sounds so good with the exhaust and the pops it makes i haven't seen it and a while lately either i love that car lot and i love the pop up headlights and you should make some video of driving racing drifting and dyno videos of all the cars that would be sick and your Porsche just sounds so good with the exhaust and the pops it makes and it's very quick to and your GT350 just sounds so good with the exhaust and the pops it makes and it's very quick to and your Toyota Chaser just sounds so good with the exhaust and the pops it makes and it's it just sounds identical to Nicole's 1JZ S13 i love that car and it just sounds so good with the exhaust and the pops it makes and im very excited to see it when it's done it's going to be sick and you should make some videos doing tail of the dragon with all he cars that would be sick and you should make an update with all the cars when you get back it has been awhile lol
dude look on the packet how to tighten plugs, from finger tight NGK is usually 2/3 turn to crush then no more than 1/4 to tighten depending on thread pitch.
It’s most likely the drive shaft splines not the rear diff. disconnect the draft shaft after the rear guibo. it splines into diff. Remove the nut it’s reverse thread and inspect the splines on the drive shaft. I seen this happen at the dealer on a customers 750i alpina . -bmw tech.
