I appreciate the communities concern! Means a lot. Just needed some time to grieve. Ready to get back at it. Definitely took a hit financially so it's going to be slower progress than before, but we'll come around.
Hey my experience with the copper spray gasket stuff is good so far but I must say it had me scared because I had it around water passage on gasket not so bad but also around oil drain holes too which resulted in glittery copper stuff in my oil, I suggest checking your oil and drain some after running motor for a heat cycle to make sure you have none in oil. You won't really be able to see it on stick you will have to drain some to actually see it
Good to see you back man😃
It’s okay Matt we understood what your going through, take your time we are here for you ❤❤
Lets gooooo boiii !!!
Keep Your Head Up M.C We Are Behind You ! Hope You Find Success And Happiness Brother ❤
Damn, i havent't followed your channel in a while. It shocked me hearing that you lost your beloved partner. My condolances and respect that you're still on your feet right now. Stay strong Matt and love from the Netherlands!
I appreciate that. It was really tough, but doing much, much better.
He said it was his girlfriend, not his partner. Quit trying to erase women.
I beg your pardon?🤨@@RichPrivilegedWhiteMale
I see the pain in your eyes, it hurts.
I’m really sorry, Matt.
Glad to see you back, keep doing a great job! You make all of us happy!
Also it’d be dope if you added a hood with a scoop in it that feeds the air to where the intake is, I was looking at one called “the predator” hood
This video has been a few months in the making. I recorded it months ago when thing were super fresh. Definitely in a much better place.
That hood looks pretty awesome. I'd definitely consider it if there is any weight savings to be had.
No way hood vents suck
Glad to see you’re back Matt! You’re an inspiration to the DIY car guy!
I appreciate that!
I've seen and built all kinds of things. This is among the most impressive. Keep making content, please! I am sorry for your loss, my friend, I can't imagine how it feels, but I'm glad you're able to rise and pursue your passion and enjoy yourself.
Happy to see you back in the game 😊 been waiting to see for some chevy cruze stuff
its really nice to see you back. keep you spirit up!
This is coming along so good. Really excited to see how this progresses.
Also just found out my new wife is very sick with a severe autoimmune disorder. This is exactly what I dread. I am so so sorry you had to go through that. Cannot imagine how you feel. Hang in there buddy.
welcome back man always enjoyed the content, great to see you back at things w the car and channel, loss is never easy for any of us!
Much appreciated
Really glad to see you making progress. May she Rest In Peace…stay strong brother
Glad to see you are back Matt and hope you are in a better place brother. As always nothing but love man.
Thank you! It's taken time, but ready to get back at it and get back to some sort of normalcy.
I was just thinking about you yesterday wondering when you would be back, very happy to know you’re doing better, keep up the good work matt💪🏽
Thank you so much!
I'm happy for u and at last a new video from Matthew one of my favorite shows
I appreciate it!
I just checked your page yesterday to see if you had posted. I jumped the gun a bit lol. I can't express how happy I am to see you doing well and enjoying your passions again.
I really appreciate that.
Man I’ve been following this build for sooo long. My 2014 1.8 was my first car ever and I still have it. My goal is to basically do what you are doing and this is pretty inspiring. I’ve always thought that it would be cool to turn my first daily driver into a little nimble vehicle that no one would suspect! Can’t wait until I’m more financially stable to pursue this job. Thanks for the content and hope you’re doing well.
That's awesome! They're good little motors to modify. Not a whole lot of aftermarket support so you have to get creative with the parts.
@@cmattdabrat Honestly, I'd be more than happy to get it even to 250whp. Nothing too crazy, I just have a huge fascination for cars and would like to work on mine, but not such huge pockets!
Really really sorry for your loss man 💔 I hope all is going well for you. Keep going!
Thank you!
Glad to see you back man!
Thanks!
Matt! You're back!
Keep on keeping on bro. All the love and good vibes coming your way!
Thank you! Will do!
Good to see you back bro 🧡🧡🍻
Good stuff seeing you back. Glad to hear that you're trying to get back into life. Here's to getting that car on the quarter!
Can't wait to see what'll do!

Happy to see you back at it.
Yes you would have to start over on the tune with only 3 cylinders running . Nice updates to the head kind of interesting that you didn't have it proted out on exhaust side.
Sounds nice & it's not leaking fluids
& it stays running without any problems now.
Congratulations on the bulid.
Thanks! I did some minor clean up work on the head. Just smoothed the casting out.
Sorry for your loss , it's good to see you back out and at it again. 👍
Thanks!

I'm glad you're back since I started watching your videos I liked you and although I hardly understand much English I try to understand what you say greetings from Mexico 😅
Thank you! 😃
I’m new here, and 5 or so months late to the party, but just wanted to say my condolences to you and your family. When you mentioned it at the beginning of the video, I could feel your hurt. Glad to see you feeling alright and getting back into your hobbies. Peace from Canada, brother!
I really appreciate it.

Welcome back bro glad to see you. Miss your videos.. hope you are in a better place. 🙏
In a much better place. Got really bad before it got better.
@@cmattdabrat that is completely normal. You got this 👍🏻
I'm excited to see how it does on the quarter mile before and after weight reduction. I hope you can fit those same hub caps when you put on the sticky tires, keep your sleeper look ;)
That's the plan!
Just checking in on ya glad to see you back at it.
Thanks! Just kinda been taking it easy and getting my life back together.
Yes, best wishes, friend
Glad to see you back man and seeing you go at the cruze again makes me happy. If you ever need a helping hand lmk.
I appreciate it!
It took me a minute to realize what was different. You cut your hair. Glad to see your back. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Well at least you were getting 25% better gas mileage! Glad to see you back and better.
Thanks Marco!
What's up matlock.... I see ya doing it big!!! About to turbo the 06 silveraydo 5.3 meat truck!!! Nice work sir 👏
Thanks bro! The silverado will be a ripper.
Matt's back! Let's go 👍🏼
LOL! Thanks.
Stupid algorithm not telling me you put out a video. You're back! I'm so glad to see it man! I'm sorry about the stuff you've been through but I'm glad you're back in the saddle
I appreciate it! I'll have more up soon. Just needed to take time to take care of myself.
@@cmattdabrat did you ever get to the dyno?
Glad to have you back and I am sorry for your loss.
What kind of times are you looking for at the track?
I appreciate that. Would be nice to break into the low 10's. She'll need to drop a lot of weight and get it close to 600hp even if I have to spray.
Hey, man! I'm glad to see you back. Hope the kids are doing fine, too.
Thanks! They're doing well. It affected them too, but we're staying strong as a family.
That hair cut looking good my dude 💪💯
I appreciate it.
Well you made me do it, I am currently t28 turbo’n my 1.8 sonic
Nice! Keep me posted.
Somehow missed this episode, but it was a goodun!
Thanks!
You have been on my mind a lot Matt. I shared with you that i have terminal cancer. They found a mass in my lung recently. Anyhow i am so happy to see you again. We all must do what we love and be as happy as possible. Now lets get on with your build. PS. If you remember i dog rescue. I missed Apollo equally. Such a goog dog and i know he has been there for you❤
I really appreciate that, and you have as well. I recall you talking about it and my heart goes out to you. At some point we all have to face our mortality. Doesn't make it easy to enjoy day knowing the inevitable is approaching. It was tough hearing the doctors tell Shannon she's got about a year. And then 3 months. After that 3 month diagnosis, it was really only a month and we were holding onto hope.
I definitely learned how to appreciate even the smallest things in life. Even the feeling of grass between my toes and to appreciate that moment.
I'm excited to get back after it. It's been hard to let go of that feeling of appreciating life, and taking my time. I hope I don't lose that in the hustle and bustle of life.
Apollo has been great during my grieving. He's hugged me, even woke in the middle of the night to the sounds of him crying in his sleep. Didn't know dogs could like that. Maybe I'll touch on a video that'll help people down the road about what grieving can put you through. Went to church, reached out to grieving groups, the works. Each situation is unique I found, and working through it can be tough, but having a great support system, like you guys, has been great helping with my recovery.
@@cmattdabrat My Lymphoma catching up with me and acually dying doesn't bother me much at all. To be honest I'm very qurious what awaits me. Only one thing severely bothers me. I am all my wife Ellie has. Leaving her behind is the only thing that destroys me. Yes, Apollo feels what you do. He knows mom is gone and he is equally feeling not only his loss but your pain as well. As many have already told you time is the only way to get past this but unfortunately that void you feel will never go away. You can only go on. God Bless you my friend......Jim & Ellie
@@jimhiscott2918 Sorry to hear it's catching up. I can understand how leaving Ellie behind bothers you. Shannon passing almost destroyed me. After about a month, it really set in. I had insomnia, got fibromyalgia (which was very painful), had bad hallucinations, swayed from severe anxiety to depression, and heart break. Lots of crying to the point I lost my voice.
This may sound weird, but I started dating again, and my gf is a medium. Shannon has actually came through (which she's understanding about) and Jessy brought up things only we would have known and we had not discussed. She's been hanging around making sure I'll be okay.
Her spirit is certainly sad she didn't get to achieve the things she wanted to in life having passed at 35.
I no longer fear death after everything that's gone on. In fact, it's made me appreciate even the small things in life and has opened my senses to living life fuller.
I'll keep you and Ellie in my prayers and know everything will be okay.
Love you dude!
Love you too!
My dream build
It's a sleeper build, soo cool
Thanks!
She’s looking good man! I loved my 1.8 in my sonic. Such a better motor than the 1.4.
Thank you!
rad my brotha and great to see ya back at it bro .... i look forward to see more from ya fam .... peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on .....ps YOUR HAIR!!!!!!! ITS MISSING LOL 😂 😂... much love bro stay positive fam peace
Thanks! LOL, my head feels lighter now.
@@cmattdabrat lol i bet , i have been debating on the same thing lol
U gotta great attitude Matt, chin up, boots strapped, drink up the life bitter and sweet
I appreciate that.
Matt wtf man. I'm so sorry for your loss! Jesus Christ I had no idea. Much love and respect I feel for you honestly
Thanks. I appreciate it.
I'm really sorry to hear about your loss bud. I couldn't even imagine how much that must have hurt. God bless.
Was the most single handed worst feeling and experience, but time has allowed me to heal.
@@cmattdabrat That's good to hear bud. I've been with my wife for 20 years now and married for 15 of those. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her. She's my anchor, she takes care of my sons and I, and I honestly couldn't ask for a better wife. If something should ever happen to her I'd lose my mind. I honestly don't know if I could ever recover from a loss of that magnitude, but I know deep down that I'd have to because my sons would need me.
Your car is awesome
Thanks!
I just came across this and sorry about your loss man that sucks
I appreciate it! I’ll post more in the near future.
I'm sorry for your loss my man
Thank you.
Sorry about your loss bud
Matthew I'm sorry for your loss I understand what you're going through I lost my 21-year-old son August 25th 2021 to covid-19 and I'm still in a bad way but I'm trying to pick my head up and get back into the game and like you you don't need to force yourself to get back into the scene ease into it slowly but my condolences go out to you...😢
Sorry to hear that. I couldn't imagine losing a child. I agree. Just been taking my time. It's really opened my eyes to things we take for granted on the daily.
@@cmattdabrat it's shocking to be laughing with them one day and gone the next it's a real wakeup to what we have in front of us. It even showed me how unimportant material items are compared to love ones around us..👍🏻
Glad to see it being a manual and not an auto
When I bought it in 2016, knew I'd eventually do this, so an auto wasnt going to do.
Hey you are back !!!
I miss you Matt!! NOT ON THE GAY WAY.
Really happy you are still going this the built
Thanks! Hahaha, I gotcha.
God bless you and your family AMEN
Thank you!
Glad to see you're back, I'm excited for more Cruze content. How did you learn how to tune? I have a 2010 Camaro SS that I've done work to (lsa blower, cam, exhaust) that I paid to be tuned by a shop before. I recently swapped to a dual pump return style fuel system and installed a smaller pulley and want to tune it myself. I've been watching Goat Rope Garage's gen 4 tuning series rn, do you have any other resources you would recommend?
Thanks! I just have been watching videos on tuning since I decided to modify the car. Learned a lot from Goat Rope Garage and HPTuners CZcams channel.
Holy hell man, I'm really sorry for your loss, that really is a rough thing to deal with. We're all here for you buddy.
I did have a question tho, is that the same cheap turbo you had from the beginning?
I appreciate it. It's a GT35 Maxpeedingrods sent me. Little large for the displacement. Boost doesn't kick in until 5k. I'm going to toss on the GT30 and see if that gets me closer to the 3.5-4k boost area so I don't have to rev it to the moon. The original turbo I had was a T04E. Boost would kick in around 3k.
Woo!!!!❤️
My condolences bro
