I Blew Up My Cheap Supercar's Engine! (It's All My Fault) 

That’s own you make the best of an unfortunate situation. Here’s to the next version/ upgrade of the Ultima - this is going to be a BEAST

Glad you restored this icon my absolute favourite kit of all time it deserves a proper engine not that clapped out old junker

Gutted for you mate. Run what you brung was break what you take. I saw the car on the A45 on the transporter on my way home from work. Thank you for being honest about being terrified on the strip. It really is scary and takes some getting used to. Not least because of how grippy it is. Hope you get it sorted soon. Don't lose heart.

She still looking sweet even if she’s not sounding as such 👍✌️

Surely a master mechanic would have all this sorted beforehand?

This was a great day

Shame about the outcome but the video was really good, appreciate the honesty too!

No way Sam ! Crazy that would happen

A Range Rover broke down? How unlike them! 😂 Sam, to be honest, you needed a lot more time to shake down the Ultima before the event. It's just one of those things. But, it looks and sounds incredible. Once fixed and all the weaknesses found and upgraded, it's going to be awesome.

Not seen you for a while dude nice to see you been busy though 😁 I’m sure you and Josh will have it sorted soon enough I look forward to the vids 👌

Looking forward to you guys fixing it up properly and getting it to a real track with curves where it truly belongs. 👍👍🇺🇸

time to install a Mazda 3 rotor and a pair of turbos!!~!

Go-on ❤ change the engine with a nas car beast 👏👏👏👏👏 give it 800 hrp plus! Really liven it up! Make it a real super car! Scrap that 350 crap..

Super cool, one dream would be fuel injection one day for your Ultima I'm not sure what junkyard V8 efi are where you live but it would save so much trouble and a basic 5.3 ls or something of the sorts and then just enjoy.

@texaspeed referb the ultma engine for sam hard let’s see some massive bhp from u lads 😊

Money bby,do the shock company do lower arms

What a shit series of events! We love your PMA & will look forward to the next one 😅

Sweet. Time for step 1 of "How to make a ford (or ford powered) car fast" and put an LS in it

I feel for ya bruv, in the last year I've had 2 engines fitted a gearbox alternator starter motor all new water pipes new gearbox new radiator new battery new suspension new heater matrix & now it turns out my gearbox is knackered. I realy do feel ya pain & frustration ✌👍

Take the engine out and send it to a proper engine mechanic

Talk about Hard On Them Garage. Wee know you will build it better or is that Freddy.

Such a fun channel.

LS swap time!

drop a ls engine

What was the times? Did I skip that part?

The ultimate deserves a good strip down and rebuild with a new ls3 fitted .come on spend some money on it ❤❤

Twin turbo it

You killed my favourite RU-vid car lol

I love the ultima. I bet its amazing to drive.

Love the accent and dam you sure are a pretty woman, nice tune

Not very good driver not very good luck either but you are a good content creater recently

Are your coilovers not meant to be inverted or is that just how they fit on the Ultima?

fail to prepare , prepare to fail

just swap it for a LS

Gutted!!!, next time take it to a track not a drag strip. Brands or Thruxton? See what it can really do around a track. It could be a Time Attack Monster.

Yes think engine swap - into a hill climb car ?

Awesome video! I'll do a push up for every like

Rebuild and add boost. Thank me later.

I like you

Request: could you interview other owners of these kitcars that are frankly real race cars. The owners are usually highly skilled and versed in car history and their cars and their modifications. The Ford GT40 and the Le Mans race and endurance racing has produced a mass amount of kit cars.... Where I would regard a MC claren to be one of the current top dogs. Most of the current generation hypercars are coming from the Le Mans type racing cars. I just love this yellow green thing. And I hope you will be able to either fix or replace the engine soon. Drooling over pistons borings and crankshafts mixes beautifully with fresh coffee and a fresh video. Please use adapted gainstaging when you start shouting on the strip. Maybe the camera has a limiter. Or perhaps you can fix the audio post production with a simple dbx compressor limiter. They usually do a great job and can be bought second hand easily for 3 cups of coffee in your local pub.

All those great things you said about that car none of them came from using it on a drag track for obvious reasons. It does not belong there

You wrecked a small block Chevy, big deal even where you are you should be able to get one of those for about 150 bucks just put oil in the next one

The Range Rover broke? Big shocker. Get yourself a proper truck lile an F-150 to tow cars, mate.

I love sam but that mechanic is weak
