STOCK K20 Engine In a “VW Bug” 

👍Thumbs up for one of the most honest youtubers out there. 👍

And thankyou to all of you that worked so hard to bring us this great content all year long!

Love seeing the progress man and seeing the emotions you went through after getting the first 10 second slip, it gave me goose bumps. I can't wait for us to get back to the track!

That first 10s pass was epic for not only yourself but all your buddies at the shop and all us folks watching, great year Preston looking forward to another year of your great content.

It brings great joy to share your achievements .

Such nice welds, we can all point to a welding table and a TIG machine! You appear to be having fun! Keep up the good work, and remember to train your kid in problem-solving. Hope you have an explosive New Year! Pew Pew

I am so proud of you guys. 10 seconds is such an awesome achievement. Y'all have all worked so hard to see that magical number. Congratulations guys!

This is one bad ass build and you’ve worked your ass off to get there. Hella proud of everything you’ve accomplished since the start of this journey. Can’t wait to see what comes next.

Been watching for a few years now. Perfect.

Thank you for the roundup. Your skill level in all phases has improved. You are an inspiration,

Proud of your progress and you journey this past year. Loved seeing the emotion getting your first 10. Happy new year 🎉

Been a long journey but it's been amazing watching you grow. Good job brother

63rd! Been watching for a LONG TIME. Have seen you starting work on the Corvette build. And every thing that came into the shop. It’s been fun, and will be watching everything that will come into the shop in the future. Congratulations on the 10 second mark. Long time subscriber Roger in Pierre South Dakota

Great progress brother, I’ve watched every single one. Now is the time to address the airstream problem!!! The front end is catching air and slowing you down more than you think, the two places that are a problem is directly over the front wheels, it’s time to make a fibreglass one piece front end that covers everything with a smooth surface. Make it more Beetle shaped yet with a Garage Idiots flare! I imagine something like a flat nose Porsche 911. This will get you into the 9’s. Are you ready? This will increase content and decrease times! Keep going my brother, you are doing amazing things, and your skills are increasing. Tricky! 🙏🏼

Great build and amazing progression through the years. Glad all those skills you have learned along the way helped you achieve happiness :)

10 seconds at Bandamere was icing on the cake.

Love this, so proud of you and the guys preston. Take extra good care of your family for us.

Thank you for your funny, emotional and genuine content. Happy New year, looking forward to more.

Yes it has been an epic year. Thank you for all the great content especially the bug. Keep up the great work, because I'm quite sure many of us live car our dreams through you. 👍

Awesome video man, cool to see the good, bad and ugly all tied into one video then show the results of all the hard work at the end. Congrats now get into the 9s next year, its only 0.85 of a second to be there😂😂

Congratulations. You have worked hard for it. Great job man.

Happy New Year I love watching your build such patience and detail and overall clever person 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Been awesome watching the progress from the beginning. Perseverance pays off!

Good shit Preston! Crazy how we met at PFI when this was first a turbo B18.

Dude. We're proud of you. Busy building my own can and just getting it to move is an accomplishment. What you do is so cool and so entertaining.

Hope your holidays with the fam was good. Love watching the project come together! Where will you go when Bandimere closes? :(

Proud of you brother, you did and built epic thing.

I found your channel because of this build, it was great to see it progress along with yourself and the channel. Congratulations.

Getting close to that 100k

U Puttin a bug body on to an MR2 chassis is wat helped me with my drift car build as I'm swapping a 1977 Mazda 323 body onto a E36 BMW chassis

You did awesome man and thanks for sharing the build!!!

been a good year for you! great job! keep working hard and keep posting videos.

Awesome to see your progress mate! Love what you are doing!

Dude this is SO much better than the first iteration of this car with the B series. I LOVE the B series and I made 709 whp at 34 psi on a fully built LSVTEC, but the K series is far more powerful.

Congrats 🎉

Happy New Year! Cant wait to see whats instore.

my favourite moment was you checking the slip 3 times, then realizing you'd run your first 10. very cool! hope mama and baby are doing well, and you're all getting proper sleep. Happy New Year idiots! I like soup

Great accomplishment building your Toyota MR2 VW Beatle and a mini me baby!😅

Dreams do come true 💛😳

I've been watching this bug since the beginning... Before it was an MR2... I was a young man then... 🤔 2024 New Year's goals... 9's in a Bug & a Jeep & 100K sub 🥳🎉... You can do it!

Onya mate! 2024 be lookin good for us idiots 🎉

Bloody huge year,and heaps more stupid things to keep you busy 😂,love the channel and keep it up mate cheers 🇦🇺👌🛞🔥🛞🔥🎄🍻🍻

Well done buddy 😮

Love the channel and your willingness to try anything and tell everyone d you and keep doing you… Awesome, you just need more seat time that bad boy! Better every time. Keep that shit up!

Another great video. Happy New Years 👍👍

What an awesome journey, bring on 2024 🎉💪

Thanks Preston Happy new year. from who is Eugene /Add a comment...looking forward to more of you, the builds, and the Editing.

I saw all the actual videos since it was the red MR2 really, so I guess opening the video is a view! Anyway focus on finishing up the jeep please and dont be distracted by a work truck and be more on the unique crazy idiotic builds that made you fans all over the world! Great work, brother

Happy New Year, lets see you next year Garage Idiots- Preston be a good dad...😉😜😆

That bug has come a long way now thats a BUG 👌👌👌

Love this build 👍

Epic stuff. Happy new years.

Im looking forward to seeing you run 9s in 2024

Almost to 100k

Ohh Gee... I forgot to say " Congratulations on your 10 Second Run " !! I didn't have soup today...plus, I thought about chewing gum and it threw me off.

I like soup. I like your videos.I'd joke and ask you to make a video about soup,but you might do it. MR-2 and VW Bug to me = > "MR. Bug." < I think that's easy for t-shirts, and you can probably recall it too ;). Thanks for another great year's vids.You and your buds make us all smile and LoL. Happy New Year .

Do you ever look back and think that maybe the big body wasn't the most aerodynamic body to pick for this drag strip project?

You deserve it so much man!

you are doing good my .friend.i bin watching you for a while.learn from your mistakes.Try not to make them more than once.Keep up the great work.I wuill say ,you went from grade eleven,to grade thirteen,with honours.Keep going kid.

👍👍from this guy

Great year have happy new year to you and the other psychopaths on your channel

He'll yeah bro , mad respect and props , cuz that was rad as shittaaahhh 😅🏎 🔥 🤘🏼✌🏽 .. that be my goals aswell as I wanna have a 10 second daily driver street and strip car ... I know alot to ask for lol but u know that the trip to get were you wanna be is all the fun building up to it ... peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z fam and again congrats brotha cuz that is rad as shit imo

FYI - just looking at all your intake and boost piping, its too long in many area that could be way way shorter, every inch matter in delay & heat mgt, if you're building a race engine

Big love for the video

You’ve came a far way bro Love the content Jr_D #Straight_outta_Ja

Arghh this was brilliant 👏 🎉❤

fun vid P!

God bless and the best in 2024 ❤ 🎉🎉🎉

Maybe at sea level in Florida the bug can run a 9 .... just sayin ...

👏👏👏🫵🪨🤠

So, why couldn't you just use a VW engine? Why did you have to put a damn Honda motor in a VDub. Well, maybe when you go for 9 seconds you can put a VW motor back in it...
