Video was awesome bro loved it, didn't mind the length personally, very much appreciate the steps put in to show us what a cool show that was, and Very much appreciate your eye when it comes to not just pointing out the funny stuff but also the minute intricacies many miss at the show due to over stimulation, you being a seasoned SEMA goer I think are able to provide coverage of the cool stuff not your fault there's SO MUCH, Thanks Again New Sub Here Great Coverage👏👏👏
Sema has become part of the worst things about the industry if it wasn’t for takeovers and a person getting hit by a car or guns being pulled out Sema would be at the top of the list. Literally does everything to keep out the fans and normal community of car people just to make sure RU-vidrs and celebrities can do circle jerks with the manufacturers. The best builds are still the fans who bring their own and park around the venue and town while all the crap if under one roof.
Am I right in thinking that the whole show is for trade people only or is it open to the public aswell?? Can anyone let me know please!! Thanks in advance 🙏🙏🙏
Most realistic Sema coverage yet. Good eye! I've heard stories for years on the inoperative vehicles present. You're the only person I've seen that's willing to show it for what it really is. Very respectfully
Agreed. I have a Fisker Karma and it has exhaust speakers that sound like it’s out of Tron which I can get behind because it’s not pretending to be something it’s not and the sounds are cool lol
There is no prestige to Sema anymore. I remember back as a kid looking at crappy websites of photos of Sema cars on dial up and they would blow my mind. Now alot of the cars are boring or terribly built. Sema needs to impose a IQ test limit or something to weed out the truck bro's and hacks who somehow manage to get their cars in. Or make a rule that if your car isnt fully complete and you submit it, then it bars you from showing the following year. To at least give an incentive to builders to complete, or just hold back a year, and let others get a chance of showing their cars instead. The average quality of the builds would go up lol.
dude , it's not a car show . it's a product/ business/ brand showcase ... the cars AND TRUCKS bRo , are just there to get the attendees attention. sema doesn't care if the vehicle is "fInISheD" because the vendor has paid them for a booth they can put half a car in there if they want ! and as far as sema being "prestigious " 20-30 years ago... well you weren't lying when you said that you had only seen them on dialup internet
but since you have such a high iq , you probably already knew that ! i'm sure YOU'RE awesome FULLY FINISHED top quality SeMa BuIlD will be there in 2024 , be sure to let me know which company has you in their booth i'll definitely come check out that perfection 🤡
Blue tooth drive shaft #8 broke his driveshaft in utah while driving that behemoth there from new york. He then limped it in front wheel drive just to make the show in time.
Wow, there's a lot of hate down in those comments. How about "Thank you for going to SEMA and letting us experience it vicariously through you, Warwick." Well done bud and saw a LOT of stuff to make me drool and two GTRs that made me cry.
Hahaha thank you I appreciate that! Happy to say the hate doesn’t bother me, the RU-vid algorithm rewards me for a hate comment cause it means people are interacting so they can hate away lol
Great video, one of the best I’ve seen from SEMA this year honestly. You have a good attitude about all of it, nothing wrong with pointing out some flaws that obviously have no place at a show of that level, but you also show tons of appreciation for the massive amount of quality work that is on display too. Ever considered a little house tour video? What I’ve seen of your new place looks super cool, even your desk/office where you did the Chainsmoker story video looked like a really cool spot. I have tons of appreciation for any kind of design, and that includes architecture and interior design and it looks like you have some great taste in both of those as well 👌
Wow Dan thank you so much for the well thought out response! That is exactly what I was trying to achieve so I’m glad it shows through! I’m pumping out some videos that I’ve had on the back burner for a while now (finishing one as we speak, will be dropping tomorrow!) and when I’m caught up it will all be house stuff because I’m on 60 acres and I currently have 94 vehicles so there is going to be a lot of content coming soon and I can’t wait to make it!
No problem at all, I think the amount of work that is put into these videos deserves a little bit of effort from those of us who get to just sit back and enjoy the content. Looking forward to the house content and seeing some of those 94 vehicles! Just saw your abandoned mud truck video dropped and I’m about to watch it now. Keep up the good work!
@@warwickandrews I, too, was very impressed with the little bit of interior we got a glimpse of at the beginning of the video. Would really love a house tour! Love the bikes indoors and the beautiful stone work
21:20- The velocity stacks are at different heights not because of fresh air requirements, but because they're specifically tuned for each cylinder. Think of it as eight individual 1-cylinder engines married to a common engine case, all making power at different RPM levels, with the general idea being that the finished product (the complete engine) has a wide torque/HP curve. Longer tubes make more power down low, shorter tubes make more power at higher RPM. Not exactly a scientific explanation, but that's the general idea. Look at Can-Am series V8 engines from the late 1960's/early 1970's for similar setups.
It is also equal length when you factor in the length of the manifold runner and the port in the head. I would bet that they used some 5th grade math to size and orient the stacks. Having these on your engine would kill the torque and introduce a ton of dirt into the engine.
@@davidparker9676yea exactly, manifold runner length doesn't include anything forward of the throttle plate. It's just for show and will kill that engine right quick. Can get away with ITB on race cars because they are rebuilding the engine after anyways or if a street car has air filters
@@dh66 Having ITBs on that engine will lose a ton of power and torque. I understand it is for show but it is still lame from every standpoint. There are too many people at SEMA that are full of BS and counterproductive products. I always find it funny to watch the end of the show when a bunch of the show cars barely run to move under their own power. Pointless vehicles for guys participating in a pissing contest. How much perfectly good cash can they spend to make a useless vehicle?
My personal favorite was the bubbles in the wraps on cars in a wrap sponsored booth. I'm glad to see you covered the very things we were catching walking through. I love that you called them Bluetooth driveshafts. Great vid!
Great job Man!👊💥 Awesome walk through with lots of variety! And THANKS for the awesome shoutout too bro! Definitely didn't see that coming to be honest! Seriously appreciate that my friend!🙏👊💥 (and those gold engraved wheels??!! 🤯🤯😍😍 GORGEOUS!!!) CAN'T WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR MAN!! Gonna be HUUUUGE!!😃🤘💯💯
At 9:11 coincidentally, that is the Oilstain Lab Half-11. As a build its kind of like a GT40 replica with a Porsche body and an LS, but they went way further than that. They essentially created an entire alternate history scenario where the Porsche 917 was based on a 911, complete with renders that made people think it was real, and then they went and built the thing. Super cool, a build I've followed since the beginning and awesome to see get the recognition it deserves.
I dig the long format, especially on the show. I've missed a lot of the other's who used to cover the shows and became too big or too good to cover them anymore. I've never understood things that cause people to gain popularity with their channel, becoming too good to cover it anymore. Idk.. maybe it's me but I would never think that something is beneath me to do anything. Thanks for the video. I've seen a lot of new and awesome stuff that I wouldn't have had it not been for you!
I love SEMA, I’ve been going since I first could (and dreamed of it before) so I’ll never stop making rides for it and I’m going to keep going every year as a spectator the years I don’t have something in the show!
Awesome tour of Sema thanx for doing all the walking. The Bluetooth driveshafts were a cool observation, my guess is those monster trucks are easier to handle without the drive train connected especially indoors parking into tight spots.
@@davidparker9676 Think of it as really huge noisy gearhead art, drivable steam punk that can crush cars. Artistic interpretation always meets varying degrees of acceptance or rejection, what's important is that the creator of the exhibit continues to enjoy building their dreams with support from the fan base.
Heyyyy maaan!! I’m new to your channel and I think you made this one in good taste! 1wheeler; I think you did a lot of recording, plus editing to make this almost 1 hour long video for us. Your only one guy💪🏼 I take my hat off bro! Good job!
Awesome, thank you! Not trying to piss off any builders cause shit happens before the show that you can’t control but it’s still important for y’all to still see both sides. Chain Smoker was only done the second time I brought it to SEMA so I thought I could be a good commentator having been there done that lol
Wow, didn't realize there was such a market for Bluetooth drive shafts.. need a booth right next to the Turbo Encabulators which measure inverse reactive current in unilateral phase detractors.
I like that you weren't just complaining, you gave alot of compliments as well! Next year you should maybe count how many people got the same side directional rims on both sides 😂
Even “US in Canada” have problems in our power grid. My nephew bought an EV (Hyundai Kona) and then applied for a permit to wire his garage with 2 chargers so he could get their second vehicle as an EV (don’t worry, he has a 502 big block 72 C10 short box to stay in touch,,, 😂😂). The city came back and said the portion of the city grid servicing his neighbourhood was over subscribed and they denied him 220 in the garage at all!! He worked with the City and when he looked into having the city pay for the $ he loses on the resale of his Kona his lawyer drafted up a letter. I’m sure it was a bluff, but they conditionally approved only one plug for charging. He couldn’t get anything for his air compressor he wants in there and a welder. Alberta’s grid is old in many areas and sucks!! Older residential areas in both Calgary & Edmonton won’t handle every home having a charging station for an EV. I don’t mind EV vehicles under certain conditions, just not work pickups to tow. That’s not intended to be an anti-EV comment, just reality of the older areas of the cities and the need to upgrade the grids. Stay safe out there, Eh!
My bad, you’re right. Surprised it took this long for someone to notice but it sure does look like a skinny rad like on a sport bike if you’re not focusing on just the engraving
Fake engine sounds on electric cars are so cringe, it's like dressing up tofu as steak like all that fake meat. If it's better, why try so hard to imitate what you're replacing? If Elon wants to innovate something, maybe try making electric motors sound good.
Like your perspective. The "SEMA" crunch is real. Some of those guys should be sporting an "OutofTime" Back to the Future license plate, cause you know that is a fact. LOL!!!!
So many sketchy builds. And people pay their hard earned $$$$ to have some shop show off their skillz and build their dream ride 👀🤦♂️. Unreal , great video . Fellow 🇨🇦 here 🤙
The crazy thing about all those trucks with blue-tooth driveshafts, is that most of the various suspension arms & links look to have been constructed with CNC-cut parts, meaning that there must have been a fair amount of computer-based design going on... IDK how they've still managed to mess up the angles like that. I guess the tool still needs to be used by someone who knows what they're doing & good suspension geometry is a bit of an art.
So many amazing builds!! and then theres the ones i wonder how they even found a sponsore with the lack of quality in there work. Im a huge fan of chain smoker and my dream is to land a sponsor and bring my 12v cummins Austin Mini to sema one day
Thanks bob! Your mini is awesome, I’m sure it could be there with some work chatting with companies that show at sema. Would love to see it in person. Keep on ratting on 🤘
Makes me want to sell driveshafts, I think Clear Lexan ones with LED Lights would be cool! I'm calling Steve at Welderup for some ideas, bet he can find a big Florescent Bulb. How cool would that be? Many color changing with Gold Plat for engraving. Calling Patent Office Now!
I don’t get the whole fake exhaust on a Tesla thing. Seriously, just how small does your penis have to be for you to put a fake exhaust on your Tesla. Plus, isn’t there anything better to waste your money other than fake exhaust sounds. Seriously, wouldn’t putting a LS7 in a Prius be a much better use for any spare cash in your pocket?
Great job brother, you showed the bullshit without trying to embarrass anyone, it’s very hard to get anything into sema, on time, and finished. 🤟🏽✌🏽🤟🏽✌🏽
Thanks for this!! I can't believe they put this amount of work and money into these trucks and don't even think to put driveshafts in them! I guess it is a huge rush to get builds done for SEMA! Hopefully some day they will all get driveshafts! Cheers!
I am glad you showed some of the crap ,no one else has the balls to show it how it really is. They are like a bunch of ass kissers looking for likes or a sponsor so i will now subscribe to you and a thumbs up.
13:27 The Facts!!! I went to Sema in 2011 it was the only time I could afford to go but dude is right and you walk miles turn your fitness recorder on on your phone just see how far you walk daily you're going to be sore AF! 😅
As for Tavarish's P1! Dude don't worry about that title situation. We live in Florida and you should see the shit they let on the road! 😂 But worse case it could probably retitled as a kit car. I personally saw someone leaving a car show and his frame was made of wood! 😅 it wasn't a fast car but that shit was made of lumber!
First time viewer on this channel. Really appreciated the content. You made it feel like I was actually there and can relate to seeing the good, bad, and ugly.
I haven’t been to sema for 30+ years, since I had to work the nace show ... my neighbor asked me if I wanted to go in 2024... perhaps... but you do a pretty awesome job! ..I’m not fond of people and idiot crowds... we will see
Absolutely. When I sat around and watch Chain Smoker during SEMA people stepped all over the side steps and leaned on it with their watches. It’s a rat rod but that doesn’t make it ok to treat it like it’s yours. Grinds my gears
I love SEMA, was there 3 times and would love to get there next time. But over all, it’s like a overrated beauty contest… a lot of paint, silicone, spray a.s.o…. Lot of pressure, crying… but a nice and fancy event…. Hope 2024 or 2025 to seeyaaa
The non-functioning lifted trucks with rubber bands are garbage. Let them have their own car show behind the dumpsters. That stupid trend won't fade out soon enough.
so first hello fellow canadian automotive youtuber, Im origanlly from Vancouver BC , but now live in toronto and started and channel after a serious accident becoming disabled so I film 12 hr days on crtuches in pain for life, my content is supercarish but not boring car spotting stuff, I just got to ride in a straight piped Ferrari Enzo also became friends with Drake and his team so I film his cars (no felx, hes just really nice guy) so same enzo in his video, anyway I am a huge Porsche guy so it was a hodge podge (shout out coranation st for that term LOL) of porsches , but the front came off a 912 I couldnt quite see the motor but looks like the 928 s V8 , yep porsche made a V8 and looks to be on a 914 chassy, amazing videos buddy, we should do an exhcange student video
Always wanted to go and experience SEMA. Appreciate you taking the time to put this together and give us the tour. Now that earlier model Evo’s can be bought into be driven,was there any that you saw ? I’m always looking for the next “New part” fo my Evo V.
Non-repairable only means non-repairable per the state law that it was purchased in… for instance in Va it’s a dead car but the same car can get inspected and certified in AZ, mind you most insurance companies will not offer full coverage on a repaired car.
No that is North American wide via the vin number, it can only be registered if it’s been exported elsewhere. I’ve been a salvage car dealer for 12 years and I’ve considered exporting these vehicles over the years but typically they are non repairable for a reason and not worth the rebuild in the first place
I used to think the people touching cars at Sema was bad, then I went to Tokyo auto salon. You get people trying to actually open car doors/trunnks/hoods, etc. and full on leaning on/sitting on cars. It’s wild.
Thanks for the tour. I surely want to go to SEMA someday as a spectator for the Car Audio section. ... For those sound systems look up Gately Audio and Sky High Car Audio (SHCA) ... all crazy car audio builds. #CarAudio
Definitely worth it so see the crazy car audio! You don't even need to be a member as most of it is outside and you don't need a pass to look around outside
Just go, I've been to CES for years for work and now that I'm kinda retired I don't bother but SEMA is really fun and if you have a business license not hard to get into. You will be glad you did.
nice coverage... the 8 hole injector with the different stacks is to spread out power curve.. (Long stacks = more torque, Shorts are for HP) Been almost 30 years since I did SEMA... Just makes me tired thinking about it...
Yeah you are right... sort of. Broadening the torque band is about all you needed to say. Longs are for more torque at lower revs, Shorts are for more torque at higher revs. It was an efficiency compromise in tuning the engine. Yeah I know the shop convention, "torque" is low revs, "HP" power at high revs... but it is really misleading. I've listened to gear heads who flunked math argue about this for hours. I usually don't say a word, because it's pointless. Horsepower is torque times RPM. Its proportional, like my dreamgirl's ass.
The Sema show that you went to and the sema. Some other RU-vidrs went to are totally different. Car shows because your showing all the good stuff. I didn't see any of this on their channels great job man
@@warwickandrewsbro he's in Florida, no one gonna say shit. I've seen a Tundra with zip tape holding the passenger doors shut and a couple days later a Silverado with a bed smashed so bad I could see the top of the left rear tire from behind and the lane to the right.
@@warwickandrews Some states literally couldn't care less about the title designation another state brands it with. There is such a thing as assigning a new VIN number to it as well.
Thank you for your service. Due to my employment and association with SEMA bullshit, I can't call out all these garbage cars openly. I have to seethe in the shadows...
@@warwickandrews the car had only a few hundred miles and a few events on it since completion, and I had driven it to a car show, then back home. The car had sat for at least and hour, and I was relaxing in the house, and the battery just spontaneously combusted! We ran out there, and were very lucky we were able to get it put out before I lost my whole car.
@@EllsworthRacing oh wow, lucky you caught it in time! And glad you kept the history, it’s stories like that that make it so much more then just a hunk of metal
Musta been his insurance company ha. Nah fr tho he was chill, I imagine he was just happy he didn’t lose his car this was pretty much best case scenario
Did the RX7 with the Mercedes sedan engine that they said was from a Pagani and didn't run show up again? Loved that. There's Bluetooth driveshafts, and then there's Bluetooth wiring harness. Owner was also straight fire with attacking people in the comments.
