Can we do a special shirt or merch for Spoon to help him fund his drift car build how we did with Brian. Spoon has been such a special part since he joined n he absolutely deserves it
i remeber in a sub mail some sent a spoon chain/necklace with a spoon pendant, what if they make a shirt that had the chain mimicked it around your neck, gold too 💀🔥 im high af bro ma b, spoon shirt frfr good idea
Jimmy if you mount the bleader near the master you can dump the fluid back into the master so you dont lose fluid on a bleed. T Ray did it on the miata I believe. Also underdrive the power stearing pump. May help it live longer due to rpms. 👍✌️
No lie, the addition of spoon and Austin excelled your channel to leveled I didn’t expect. Can’t wait to see you rip this car the way you were ripping the s14 in Ireland.
I just got done with my twin turbo LS3 swap. I went with a t56 magnum also and I love watching you go through all the same struggles and finding the same solutions I did! Building a comp car is all about simplicity, reliability and accessibility. Putting a LS in your car is just that! Great choice Jimmy! I have some recommendations for a few your remaining parts -Holley race mid mount accessory drive - Holley 102mm throttle body - coil pack relocation bracket - DW 1200cc injectors - Johnson lifters because you’re going to be bangin off that limiter - head studs Can’t wait to watch this thing rip!!!
Should make a shirt to support spoon's build! Maybe a cartoon spoon holding a welder and grinder would be a dope idea. Either way I'd cop one to help the man get his build going.
Can confirm bellhousing bolts are optional. My bosses 2000hp drag car has 4 bellhousing bolts, they are high tensile and decent size but only 4. Car does wheelies and 7s.
Yes been waiting for upload 👌 love your videos bro, went from grinding adamlz videos then came across to your channel and I just legit can't wait till you upload 👌 jimmyO needs to hit 1mil already
Really needed to get the 302-1 oil pan. Recently went thru this and my BMW is rhd. The sump pan I mentioned gives more drop clearance and back clearance to the steering rack.
First these videos have been killer lately. The crew is so great at there jobs. Second, I love watching Jimmy’s internal struggle of keeping the e36 oem and wanting it to be a very competitive drift car. The two can’t both happen.
I can't wait to hear that thing scream with a LSA Blower on top. I know it's not usually Jimmy's thing, but this channel was overdue for something different, and a crate full of bald eagles was just that something
Its my Birthday and ill cry if I want.... haha don't stress my friend, on that first fire up and drive you will forget all about the cost and just be stoked you pulled the trigger on that fresh build 😀
I absolutely love this dude! The content lately has been top Tier man. I am so so grateful for y’all love you dudes keep it up!! It’s all awesome don’t listen to the haters man!!!
Don’t know if anyone else has commented yet but the MGW shifter offset at 12 o clock would put you where you wanted the shifter and works a bit better than the stock tremec shifter. Also it’s way easier to bolt the engine to the subframe with it out and lift it up into the chassis similar to how an fbody and vette go together. Takes me about an hour and a half to drop the entire drivetrain out of my LS E30. Glad to see you not fighting and going straight to a competitive drivetrain! I know you mentioned it in the first video but I see way too many people spend a bunch of money and lose a lot of seat time trying to be “different” because LS swaps are so common but if it works and you can win by all means there’s a reason they’re the go to
Just wanna say, fron seeing you swap a ls into the Zed, and helping LZ with his harness on the creme 240. I get so much serotonin watching these videos. You have worked your ass off. You and the gang are killing it
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but when you struggle with aligning the gearbox to the engine, put the gearbox in gear and turn the crank, it helps to align the two together. Just a small tip to try help, I really enjoy the channel thanks for the awesome content
ohhh man i am loving this process. next year or so i really wanna do an LS swap! hopefully the ol e36 will finally be a reliable weapon and you both level up! cant wait to see it on track before we know it.
On e36’s. On the side supports there’s two bolts on the bonnet. If you undo one it allows you to open the bonnet abit further to the ‘service position’
Before i even watch this video, i wanna say how i just said "YES" all loud when i seen there was a video of yours to watch popped up ❤ keep this vib alive guy's an girlfriend lol. Truly love watching these videos.!!!
If your doing a supercharger the best pulley accessories to use would be from a C6 Corvette and they sit closer to the block which gives you more room for fans and radiator
Put the radiator in the back, best mod I did on my driftcar. Always stayed cooled, just a pain to bleed the system if you stay with the stock style waterpump. Tip, use some electrical tool to spinn the waterpump pulley real fast, gets the air out then your good to go👌
