Fabricating Custom TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS for the AWD MIATA! 

I've actually been meaning to get one! I hate bulky wallets and TBH I've never actually carried one and just grab debit/credit card and cash and shove straight in my pocket because I'm a monster like that. That might need to change.

How did you know what I wanted to get my dad

Day 400 of trying to get 500 subscribers

I'm glad someone else noticed.

He needs to use proper spacers instead of stacking washers on the inner mounts.

I am kinda worried with how long and thin they are they are going twist or bend around the shock mounting point... if you can bend it with a leaver just using your body.. what do you think driving around in a car is going to do.. there alot of force being exerted on the suspension and it has to be just as strong if not stronger then the frame of the car. It's that the control arm is big boxy shape that has good triangulation it. The material that is comprised of is just as weak as anything you can bend into shape.. but because the structure is so big with sections of material that turns into tension sections when you try to twist it... It can easily resist bending.. (Edit..) I'm not sure, I just look at and say it's wrong because it designed with no consideration to compression forces outside of the fact they used a vary expensive steel bar...But... as a tension device its far above par for what it looks to be its intended purpose. So its really hard to tell because I'm not sure if the lower control arm is meant to be a tension or compression part in the lower suspension. I have seen designs for front suspension where the upper control arm is designed mostly to resist tension forces.. but then there the strut and lower control arm to act heavily as compression points to keep the wheel extended to where it should be.. It going to come down to if the part is ever put into a compression situation just how much force does it need to withstand, and is the other components of the system able to take those forces first. (end edit) It will be interesting to see how much brutality these control arms can withstand.. and hope he does a bit of spirited driving to test how how good his work is before he takes it out on somewhere where its hard to recover from. (Edit) Another good thought that came to me is he can use the old control arms to watch and see how durable the new control arms are.. He can just hold them up under them and see if there is any movement that deviates things from stock.

Why are you making them the same as the stock arms? What’s the point? There’s no way these are as strong as the stock ones.

Im concerned about those tiny heim joints. Probably better with big heim joints and using the sleeved collars

Whats stopping you?

Jon Johnson probably money and time

@@jonjohnson102 money-time-responsibility as a family-job and such nobody perfect.

Yeah if I could get to his level or higher I would be very happy and I would love my cars to death

Stay save

do a wheelie

i looked at this comment at exactly 1230 am XD

Clutch Automotive imagine a combine doing a weelie

@@jonjohnson102 Combine couldnt ever do a wheelie...they move by hydraulic motors powering the front wheels.

And make a exagon

Thought circles were the strongest shape

And get over the lambos and ferariiiis and race against a ford raptor

No no this thing actually drives... To advanced for sema

Bryan P. Think if forza would contact him and want to get it in to forza.

Ikr ;)

It’s confirmed probably just waiting for corona to be over

Billet v8 for a mid engine racing kart

Thats a thing that could need if he lost control and crash in the rear

He said previously he would be doing some stuff to the back

My best guess is that you'd drop easily a kilo or kilo and a half (2-3 pounds I think? Maybe you could drop a few more if the original was bigger

@@aarontena normally going tubular you dont save weight or if you do its very little Also Depends on what you use material wise

Hard to say. I think he used more material, due to the wall thickness of the tubes. And its also hard to say if the simple tubular design reduces the compliance. To really answer these questions it is necessary to perform a FEM-simulation.

a terrible joke, but appreciated nonetheless

Motorsport 6 😭

Since 10k subs

Built or bought?

I remember the AWD vs RWD vs FWD Forza Science video. It was his first video to hit 1 million views iirc

omg dude ive been here since the forza days man as well :D didnt he make videos of the game Beam ng or something like that.........idk its been a while

Not for a while probably

Going to guess we have stormtroopers who watch the channel, sometimes they miss the like button.

A couple missed the like because there is only one dislike now that its public

Heyo, we miss your update logs ;)
