I know people will ask why I didn't swap to a 5-speed: biggest reason was wanting to keep competing that weekend. TRE had another 6-speed on hand, no 5-speed. And 5-speeds require different shifter cables which we also did not have.
Hey that's my 6 speed that's there at T.R.E getting done up along with my transfer case. Jon told me to find a 5speed as well or get a dog box because the 6 speed gears are to small to hold the torque. The 6 speed is only rated for 290- 350lbs torque. I'm looking but they are hard to find! T.R.E is the best! #TEAMRIP.. Also Jon said the Oem fluid isn't the same formula. He recommends Redline shockproof. Don't get the heavy shockproof as it only works for drag applications and also doesn't work well in the winter!
Hey it is "street car" class, gotta have that 6th gear for cruising lol
Good excuse to get a sequential in the future? 😅
O
Being a 2005 Evo MR 6-speed owner I've always been told to run the OEM fluid for reliability. Never heard that Mitsubishi changed up the fluid composition... if so I still have the original fluid new in the cans for backup. Aftermarket company needs to step up and redesign higher steel strength gears for the 6-speed instead of having to go 5-spd swap.
if you’ve hit a plateau with your lap times:
instead of having that idea in your head of faster faster faster that makes you overdrive the car,
go out with the goal of driving the car smoother. try to drive the smoothest lap you can and don’t look at the timer.
this is my personal trick that alway works for me
100% this. Every time I force myself to go faster I slow down, when I calm down and focus on smooth inputs I always knock off my best times.
@@ghostpunkkilla you’ve got it bröther smooth is fast
I can relate this helps in gran turismo. Never been to a racetrack as a driver, though.
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast
Mature strategy 💯
Thank you guys for the continued content. Been watching this channel for years and I'm glad Ben is showing progress. Keep up the solid work guys 💯
yupp subscriber for 5 years. the content is always A1! get well ben !
Which Ben? I guess it could work for both of them
@@iamstd2 short ben, he came down with an awful case of covid
Will you please tell me when will they do new roadtrip series?
@@ahsankhushk9213 they were doing one when short Ben was hospitalized
Seeing a community of car enthusiasts come together and help each other out kinda brings a tear to my eyes
This always happens at motorsport events and it's my absolute favorite thing about them. I blew an engine during qualifying on a championship deciding event on the opposite side of the country, had the car on the trailer and was just ready to watch the race. After that night all the drivers went out to a local pub for a few drinks and had someone ask why the car was on the trailer, the bloke next to him offered me his spare engine and about 4 other guys offered to help, they were all guys that had come over from my state but i didn't know overly well. The next morning the after opened at 6 and racing started at 8, we got there first thing and by the time we started turning spanners there were about 20 people helping out, most of which I had never met before. We had the engine changed in an hour, in the end I had to start from the back of the field and finished 12 out of 42 cars. That was probanly my best weekend racing ever
@@DYLLS77 this was an excellent read! Love the car enthusiast community 😍
Glad other Ben is responding well on the ventilator! Keeping him and his family in my prayers.
Broooo wuut??? The rona is getting the best of other Ben?? (I live under a rock)
@@averybolling Yeah he's been in hospital for nearly a month now I believe :(.
@@averybolling Yeah it's in their IG account. He started in the hospital around the first week of October. His BP was quite high when he posted an update by then but by the 2nd and 3rd week he became worse.
That's horrible, I really hope he recovers. I enjoy both of these Ben's. They're phenomenal at what they do.
bro the fucking youtube bots don't know how to read a room
I just recovered from covid 2 week ago and it sucked. Prayers for Ben. Hopefully you recover fast dude. 🙏
what happened to him?
@@talharoxen he got a severe case or covid that attacked his lungs he's in the hospital right now check out there Instagram if you can
@@goldexpert1840 sad :(
@@talharoxen he wasnt vaxxed and caught it.
@@CLVS not vaxxed? Was it not available up there?
So glad to hear that Ben is making progress, hope he will recover soon! ❤
Prayers for short Ben !
Hey Bens, you guys are my version of the Saturday morning cartoon. Every Saturday you're the first thing I look forward to.
I'm curious, I've always wanted to get into racing and while autocross is fun, I'd like to have more seat time and higher speeds. Now that this season is over could you do a cost breakdown video for a season of Gridlife to folks like me can get a ballpark idea of how much it might cost?
Either way, keep up the amazing work!
@@ringgolyn2101 damm
Awesome video idea! I would love to know too
I absolutely love how the Honda Insight is actually being used as an extra car on the sidelines.
The Insight is the secret time attack weapon if shit gets real Ben will just jump in the Insight and destroy the track record by 5 seconds
glad to see ben progressing! been waiting for these grid life videos it’s urging me into buy a track car here in the UK!
Glad u like Gridlife! I have been going there since it started cuz my dad was one of the founders. Every time I go it just gets more fun!
Same mate!!!!! I live in the UK as well and I'm in the process of transforming my ITB mx5 into a track car for next year!!!! This has given me inspiration to do it
I love how they notch the end of the bench to make it look like a gear, and Aaron's analogy about the house was on point, "itd be fine but not in a hurricane" haha
I walked by the Evo when you were pulling the blown transmission out and loved seeing how many other people were there offering advice and trying to help any way they could. Love watching your content guys. Best of luck next season!
I'm consistently astounded by the quality of these. The Club TR saga has been awesome to watch unfold. Keep it up!
This is one of my favorite episodes. The editing was awesome.
Their editing is TOP TIER!
Dude at TRE jiggled that for 3 seconds and all those gears fell into place, would have taken me 20 minutes of finagling. Mad props.
Legit amazed at how relaxed racing in the US is considering you can't race without long sleeves at any track or event I've been to hear in Aus.
I think its just gridlife....ive got no respect for it after seeing their drift event at pikes peak. No safety inspection, cars falling apart, people not wearing pretty much any safety gear....having a fucking party on a nighttime and letting people drive the next morning hungover. It's like a bunch of kids in a carpark on a Friday night. No respectable track in the world would put up with so much bullshit
Congratulations to both of you... You are still alive to tell stories.. That's a WIN in my BOOK!!!!
One of the best automotive channels on CZcams, hands down the best cinematography around. Really something you both should be proud of. Nice work boys. Thinking of small Ben as well, get better my man!
Such a great car community to help get the Evo back on track.
*10:00* - Syncing the sparks with the music and doing so at _exactly_ the 10-minute mark is editing genius. I love the little Easter eggs like that on this channel!
And again at 10:18!
Really awesome seeing y'all out at Gingerman this year for Gridlife. Hope yall compete for many years to come. If so, I'll be there watching.
My prayers are with you Ben.. Stay strong please.. You made my dream Civic come to reality.. You took what I had in mind for my Civic and made it even better..
Hondas don't give up without a fight, so will the drivers and the owners..
Stay strong bud.. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That is what racing is about, having people help out in a time of need, we all have a passion and love for cars and racing, so it's just what we do!!
At about 17:05, Short Ben seemed to be pushing to 11 tenths, no holding back! Many congrats on the season class win and hope he is on the way to full recovery. Tall Ben's in situ transmission swap was a great example of just going for it, on the plus looks like the EVO has a great transmission for 2022.
Every Saturday right when I wake up its perfect.
@@dewioriza9736 can you not
I call them Saturday morning cartoons 😂
@@jamesphelps3409 it's the perfect cartoons
16 years with my 6 speed and no issues. Thank you not only for the awesome video, but also for your honesty. It's way too easy to just immediately blame everything on the car. Respect.
Random aside, pretty rare to see two clean FCs hitting the track! Was a nice bonus surprise.
Heal well short Ben. Get a well deserved rest and COME BACK STRONGER! 💪🏻
I'd love to see short Ben do a session on the Evo.
It's awesome to hear that Ben is showing a positive reaction and is improving. I'm not sure if this will be seen, but a small recommendation for his family that's there with him at the hospital. Maybe try and keep some type of "ICU diary" or daily log as to what's going on with him that he can read when he wakes up so he can grasp how much time elapsed since being intubated. I got extremely sick several years ago and was placed into a medical coma for a month, and the experience of waking up from some very crazy dreams to find out an entire month had passed was a very jarring experience. Wishing you guys the best.
This is a cool idea. I'll let his wife know. Thanks for posting.
@@GearsandGasoline glad to help in anyway. Much love to you guys!
Props for giving the "background characters" the recognition they deserve. This is why g&g are my favourite yt channel
Thanks guys for showing practical and everyday builds . 🇯🇲 With love 🤛🏽
As always your filming and story telling is on point. Here's to BT pulling through quickly and making a full recovery.
Congrats both Bens and amazing content as always. The editing on this video was superb, it’s difficult to make a 20+ min video interesting all the way through but it was. Hoping for Ben’s quick recovery
You guys are convincing me on why I should probably keep my car stock/ be conservative with tuning. Everything just keeps on breaking.
Also, all the wishes for short Ben to get better!
nah man, its that they're driving really hard. 400hp in an evo is very conservative and should be very good for street driving. Race cars will always break like this. if they use the same car but drive it on the street, it wont break as much
"We just didn't have time to change it before"
Proceeds to change it in a day lol
Stayed up till 2 am just to watch your legendary vids guys 🧡
Go to sleep
@@colonelicecreamcone3981 it's worth only getting a couple hours sleep to watch these mad lads go around a track haha
This is why I watch Ben and Ben! They show how people gravitate to each other on track and the shared passion knows no bounderies!
bro whoever edits and records these videos need like a freaking exclusive medal or something bro they are just so perfectttt
Love what you guys do. I’ve always wanted to do club racing but never knew what it was about. Awesome to get to see the grass roots style from racers prospective
Praying for a fast recovery for small Ben! ♥
This was my favorite series on YT this year. Congratulations guys!!
Videos like this make me love even more racing thx
Glad Ben's getting better, keep pushing
Production quantity of your videos just keeps getting better. The music selection while out on track was perfect. I felt the feeling of anxiety and nervousness while the bens we're out there probably feeling the same thing. Nice work.
Can I just say the editing on these videos is just incredible. Even down to the timing of the music with the action on screen. This is such quality content as always.
Luke and Devonte have done an incredible job with this one!! So much fun to watch!!! And Bens: I think you both have been very good, improved this season a lot! I'm confident yous are rippin next season!!
Being one of the lucky people who got to spectate you guys driving at midwest fest, and being from Kalamazoo, this video was awesome to watch!
I remember when you guys just documented the going’s on. You are now the goings on. You’re an inspiration to always keep moving forwards.
Once again great video from 2 awesome dudes!!! Congrats to Ben on a championship win and how amazing is it that all those people came thru to get your car back on the track... 👍💪👏
Awesome cinematography, storytelling and of course, driving! Congratulations!🔥🔥🔥
It was great to meet you guys at that event! I was happy to see my long time friend, Mark, there as well and get to watch him work on the Evo. Looking forward to see you guys again!
It was super awesome seeing you at gridlife. It had been way to long man. The food you cooked was excellent and hope to see you at another event
@@markbrylo4429 oh you will, people want to drag me out just to cook lol
Man the production of these videos are just absolutely the best!! Love your channel!
I appreciate the thonk of getting the evo of the trailer matching the background music's beat. It's the little things
That RX7 slow motion b-roll was better than real life.
As someone currently building up 2016 mustang ecoboost for the track, I’m in love with this series
Rebuilt a transmission between sessions no big deal haha that’s awesome! Thanks for the great content, you guys rock!!!
words cant describe how gorgeous your content is! Great effort from the G&G team! Editing is just *chef's kiss*
This has been an amazing series. Look forward to the continuation next season.
Look how far you guys have come in a year. Well done boys! Best time attack content out there by far
Big reason why i watch your channel is cus you guys actually drive the shit out of your cars lol great video as always! And glad short ben is doing better 🙏
Gears and Gasoline is simply the best Channel to start the day !
One of the best automotive channels on youtube/internet, such awesome high quality production videos
Keep the awesome work up guys!
10:26 when Ben's brakes started glowing lol. So cool!
You guys are killing it! I have recently bought a turn key track car which is an integra RS and did my first track/time trial event in Nelson Ledges. It is definitely a whole different experience compared to all the sim racing that I did before. I can't even imagine what it's gonna be like in a kswap car. You guys are awesome and have been my inspiration on this gridlife. Please keep doing what you do! Cheers 🍻
Great Going!!!....Enjoying watching you both grow in experience and content. Awesome series.
Watching you guys improve over the events and years is so rewarding. Keep pushing!
Judging by these builds, super excited to see what you guys do with the mr2.
Awesome video, can't wait to see yall at Gridlife events next year
Excellent vid guys congrats on the championship !!!! That civic is no joke ! Hopefully the evo will get its day as well. Thanks for pushing out these vids definitely makes my day !
Some of the best car content out there. Keep it up guys!
I look forward to these Saturday morning vids sooo much!
The production quality is just amazing!
Car guys/friends are a special breed.
Congrats to both of you guys for keeping the cars in one piece and all the lessons you are learning. Can't wait to see how you both do in the next season.
Impressive season for sure! Loved watching the progress! Great job!
Congratulations all the way around; great series, looking forward to next year
Quality content and congrats to Gas & Gasoline for the wins throughout the 2021 season. You guys improved a lot . Keep it up 👍🎉🎉
you live and learn you grow,you learn from your mistakes and the best thing is the bond that we make,the experiences, great season.
Man i really enjoy watching your content. You should have a lot more subscribers for sure. Also, it's nice seeing the transformation that little Civic has had. From that trip you did to now.
big W for ben, congratulations man!!
its so good to see a shitbox bought for a laugh out loud road trip win the club tr championship!!
also glad that ben is doing better on the ventilator. praying that he gets upto spec in time.
Rad effort guys! Congrats to Champ Ben!
This channel has me pumped to start to take some track sessions at the local Autobahn Country Club in my 2007 Civic Si next year.
You guys are the whole reason i got into time attack, hopefully one day I’ll get to run out there in street class
Thank you Gears and Gasoline I have been looking for a professional shop that rebuild EVO trans and accept shipping. You guys rock, your content really make car communities even closer than before.
Great video as always fellas, glad to hear ben is improving.
Congrats on the overall win short Ben, can't wait to see y'all competing again next year. Godspeed recovery!
And of course editing is outstanding, keep up the amazing work!
I can't skip over that a rotary won the class this event either :). Heck yeah, dorito power. Makes me want to track my turbo SA. Maybe someday.
Super cool to see the gearbox shop! Glad you threw that in
LIL BEN!! I FREAKING LOVE YA DUDE! Please pull through buddy!!!
the video you guys put out is like a movie!!!! great job as always.
Ben is improving on the ek while Ben still needs more practice on the evo!! overall great job.
Cool seeing you guys out here in Kzoo!
Awesome video,
Congrats to Ben on first place overall in points for the season!
You literally had the best guy on transmissions. You should’ve add the oil cooler plate he sells.
These videos are so well edited now it’s awesome.
I love seeing every little upload from you guys. You're honestly my favorite car channel and what really has inspired me to try to get into the car community years ago just from watching your ASMR videos and your driver interviews. And it's been an amazing ride personally so thank you guys for that. If you guys are ever in Denver I need to see that pre-post and I'll be there ✨✨✨
"Drive slower to go faster" sounds like Doc Hudson, "Turn right to go left" hahah
Last year, when i started watching gears and gasoline. The grid life season was almost over. And i said to myself i'm gonna keep watching so that i can see what the entire grid life. And now i cannot believe thats this season is over. I'm so excited for next year season a so excited for the new upgrades in the K-SWAP CIVIC AND THE EVO ☺️ congrats guys i really love watching your episodes even though i just started watching you guys over a year ago when i get interested about your road trips. Oh and btw because of you guys i fell inlove with the Subaru platform thanks guys. And i hope ben thorne is getting well. ☺️ #GEARSANDGASOLINEROCKS
I love TRE. I had him rebuild my evo's transmission with a 3.73 final drive. He said he'd never built one and then I ordered one right before another guy with a Texas mile car.
Got another TRE trans in my talon but nothing unusual in it
Favorite episode so far. Great stuff guys.
I’ve been watching you guys for years now and I congratulate you guys on the hard work and effort you’ve put in bro not only work on your cars and compete at that level, but also manage to make amazing videos while you’re at it. Excited for the future to come.
You guys have the best content, fantastic production. Never change it.
