When I watched Day Shift on Netflix I recognized the bowling alley that was used for some of the scenes. it's been abandoned for a really long time and the inside does not look like the movie. watch to take an urbex adventure into the bowling alley without the chance respiratory issues lol.

Forgotten Atlanta Junkyard
zhlédnutí 165Před 2 lety
it's amazing that all these cars have sat here so long. Having this much land inside the Atlanta perimeter that hasn't been bulldozed and sitting mostly untouched is so cool. If you know this location, please don't post it in the comments. Don't be that guy.

I've heard of all kinds of methods to remove rust from chrome. I figured I'd give it a shot with WD-40 plus "#0000" steel wool. it worked better than I could imagine.

3 Wheel Motion on Bags
zhlédnutí 3,2KPřed 4 lety
For cars with hydraulics, 3 wheel motion is easy. It's a little more difficult for cars on airbags. To acheive 3 wheel motion I had to limit suspension droop on the front wheel. Here's my how to for faking the funk and doing lowrider things with an unorthodox lowrider.
Will Mom like the Lowrider Miata?
zhlédnutí 930Před 4 lety
I'm currently in the process of building a lowrider Miata. Now that it's on 13in spokes and bags, it was the prefect time to take Mom for a spin around the block. Why a lowrider Miata? I love lowriders and Miatas, and I'd never seen a Miata done up as a lowrider. This is the beginning of the adventure and hopefully I'll take the time to document the build.
Went for broke. Miata jump carnage

There is more to the life of a car enthusiast than just petrol burning and tire destruction. That does take it's fair share of time, but we gotta eat too. Let's discuss how to scramble eggs. It's arguably the only rational way to eat eggs. Wanna see more of these antics? Comment and let me know.
Lifted Miata Torture Test! How much abuse can it take?

I'm working on a build update video. Please comment below with questions you'd like me to cover. Here is a highlight reel for the capabilities of a lifted Miata. If you're thinking about lifting your car, this is the kind of fun you can expect. The torture test this car has survived is impressive.

Lifted Miata Trail Ride and Broken Parts
So just then you just buff it up with some finish polish and it’s perfect?😮
Best method I've seen so far
Did you dawn before or after the wd40
Awesome 👍 little cars
Hey I’m not sure if you still respond but did you do any transmission work? Does it do okay on the highway at 70mph
Shit video, shit explanation of parts, this dude is drunk, what a waste of time.
Just picked up my 15x8s thanks to this video and 31s are next, in my application it looks like I can just run a small spacer to accommodate the front, found a set of 4 mustang 1 inch spacers for $78 I think im going to jump on to complete the install
Shaving down the calipers to fit 15s is no fun lol
@@Socalledgarage looks like you have a little more offset than me also, gotta maintain that back spacing
What tire size are you running
Pretty sure it was 31s
@@Socalledgarage looks perfect
You call it the ‘rear’ knock sensor... Is there a ‘front’ one? Thanks!
yep there's another one closer to the front of the block
It's cheap so when I'm done with it I can throw it in the trash where it belongs instead of spending $4,000 on something that's going to fall apart anyway and lose value
What happened to the lifted miata?
I still have it. It needs a ton of repairs. Too many hobbies. This video is to send the manufacturer so I can get replacement parts. Going to delete after that
Sweet install, you audiophile you!
Thank you sir!
That land crusher is sweet 😋 😍
Nice czcams.com/video/Y-qS-y4Ok4Y/video.html
Um, i really need a c10 drivers door lol. As well as a few other parts if any of it is salvageable.
I also own a C10 (1972), with the time it would take to fix one of these doors, you'd be better off buying a new door. They're $600ish if I remember correctly
@@Socalledgarage yeah that might be the move, right now im really missing that drivers side glass, hoping i can find one of those as well.
So many Z's and Mosquitos...
Your 2 favorites?
I saw poison ivy! Definitely don’t want to go there without pants on!
the vans are so good!
Did you post this? Or did someone else after a snake got you?
Oh yeah, he dead

Great video Junk Drive - try using crumpled up tin foil instead of the brillo pad, not as harsh :D
Is this with the stock 1.6 or 1.8?
Stock 1.8 with 4.78 rear gears
@@Socalledgarage thanks!
czcams.com/video/Y-qS-y4Ok4Y/video.html
here's a dumb question. What's the mpg now?
I've read that the Hondas don't have the best quality either on there groms so imo the knock offs are good enough plus they are cheap plus a used grom are usually 3,000 + used so I think you got a great buy
The car language crossing over to this 😂 exactly what I was trying to find though
Is This California Street Legal? Thank You
I have no clue. I live in Georgia
Hi what the name and model of your upper control arm ?
Stock control arms. The front end has a spacer lift. If you search "donk lift" for a crown vic on ebay you should be able to see what I'm talking about
Thanks and my crown is actually lifted im looking for some upper control arm more longer.. Sorry my english is bad ahah
@@mulletfreedom5858 i seen that if you take the drivers side control arm and flip it 180° and put it on the passenger side it works.
I love it 💯💪😎
Awesome 👌
First
Did you have to do anything related to fuel management system, ICU flash or anything like that when you changed carb, exhaust or air filter?
There is no fuel management. Fuel is gravity feed. Adjust the needle and air/ fuel screw
Update, the REAR struts from a 2002 Exploder will fit up front lifting it a decent amount. I think it's 2.6 inches. I did a comparison and the compressed and loaded length is longer than the Crown Vic struts.
So buy rear struts to put into the front struts? Will it have the front lifting up or will it be leveled ?
How much
If the bellows was replaced with fine metal mesh it wpuld be even cooler,but i like this!
How much material was actually removed from the front calipers to fit them 15's?
We took off a lot. Shave, test, shave, on and on. Depends on your specific wheels
Do you feel the integrity of the caliper has been compromised or it still has plenty of material for strength? Thanks for the feedback 👍
That chrome will get ya home...lol
I keep seeing everyone say they got theres for 1200 and even a 1000 but cant seem to find those prices
Sweet ride. When is the baby due?
How do you know the website is reputable
Can y'all do another video
My friends do alot of stunting in closed parking lots but there kids go there and practice riding. Now my daughter is 12 and has been riding a little pocket bike for a year and is doing well with it so i was thinking about getting her this would it be a good option as just something bigger with more power?
Great video man
Who wa woo wa! The thing is literally falling apart.Id tie a bag to the back of it for all the pieces that fall off.
I always wondered if the red frame piece on the side was just cosmetic.Can you unbolt it and swap plastics with other clones?
You can unbolt it and paint in whatever u like... however u take the metal pieces off with a Allen wrench
@@TheSinisterCrow I ended up buying a Honda Grom to customize and have fun with, but I went looking at a used shop and found a Ninja for the same price as the clone bike I was looking at.
You’ll be a cool uncle to have. 🤣💯
I must of been sleeping when you went over "how to Lift" all I heard was what you did, not how you did. this video was 7 mins. and 13 secs. of my life that I will never get back.
Sorry it wasn't want you were looking for. There is a parts list in the description
You copied ginguim
That's cute. Gingium and I are friends. I built mine slightly before him. We shared ideas along the way with both of our builds. Thanks for visiting.
@@Socalledgarage ok nice miata dude
What bar transferred I use for my 95 Mercury grand Marquis I just put a 3 inch lift kit on the back I’m trying to lift the front but the stock Lower control arms won’t line up because the lift kit
The only reason i wanna do this is so i could make my car ski town worthy
