I don’t comment often but I just gotta say, this series is so great, so relatable and interesting. The Honda’s were great and it’s really exciting to see ideas of what to do with simple budget builds
I keep saying these will be the best 5th hand value cars lol. They are so close to the pride point where I'll finally pick one up..just a matter of time. Love these short builds you guys do, keep up the great work.
I know this series is probably already all recorded but there's a ton of contention about aftermarket intakes in the FRS/BRZ/86 groups. Some actually cause fuel trim issues that can lead to bad motor news. On a more positive note, those squishy bags for gear oil are magical 🤙
When you've got a nugget, you might as well have some fun with it! I really like the step up in production quality for this style of video. On the topic of valvoline sponsored videos, when are we going to see that sweet 13b go into a car? That build series was such a tease!
My buddy just told me about this video. Great quality of editing and humour! I feel like you guys were looking at my history because I wanted to build a rally/safari build for the potholes here in Brampton haha The hitch is for bikes, guys! I'm looking into Slambert's twinhitch instead. Can't wait for part 2
Funny how cheap those are in North America,, although I've often been surprised by the difference in other cars too, I guess those Scions are marketed cheap to younger buyers in the first place. Over here in the UK we only get the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ versions, but in both cases they are holding their value surprisingly well. Even fairly scruffy examples are still around the £12K mark.
Yup, cars in US always are so cheap 350z going for 4-7k Frs/gt86/brz for 7k Here in Europe are always stupid expensive even beaten ones, that is one thing europe can't compare with us In Portugal, where I live, u can't find a 350z below 20k, a mistake under 6k, its stupid, and makes us have shit cars
Saw that FRS on the background of that last beemer video and I thought instantly that there is going to be one these quick builds on the way, which are nice way to see how few mods on different cars change the appearance of the vehicle. great work guys as always!
I think all fluids should come in those "flex fill" bags. What a great way to reduce waste, reduce shipping sizes, and simply make it easier to fill fluids. We've all spilled oil on the valve cover when trying to fill oil without a funnel. Speak to the folks at Valvoline and see if you can help them sway the market in a more eco-friendly way.
I had the same issue on my 3 year old STI with the exhaust donut gasket. Started chiseling the same way you did, then sprayed some penetrating lubricant on it overnight and it practically fell off the next day. Worth trying next time you're doing exhaust work on a rusty Subaru!
Here’s another tip from your uncle Gary. Use a pair of large channel locks to remove that doughnut. Clamp the gasket lightly with the channel locks and rotate, shaving it off with the teeth.
a small part of me was hoping this would be a Ricer 86 build. I always wanted an 86 to rice like we did back in the 90s. If it were my car I'd be happy where we're at already. Maybe plus some nice wheels.
FYI: When you install the Grimmspeed strut tower brace, you have to use zip ties and some sort of tube insulation to zip-tie that AC line that's currently resting against the tube to the brake lines below - otherwise the wrinkle finish on the strut bar will wear through the AC line!
I also shared with you putting two screws in the lid of Por-15 containers, And you gave the credit to someone else, But I’m cool about it, as long as you figured it out.
