Welcome to Project Z3, the series where resident non-car guy fixes up his project car to prove that 'if he can do it, then so can you!' This week in Episode 1, Ethan attempts to swap his brakes and suspension...

Ethan hurting himself during the proces was probably the most relatable thing and a true welcome in the project car world
I once was standing on a bucket leaning over the fender into the engine bay. The bucket slipped out and my gentlemans area got crushed as I slid down the fender. That was my favorite moment of working on cars...
Let's be honest. You aren't REALLY working on your car unless you hurt yourself. And you aren't working hard unless you bleed.
@@TheBulletTrain I cut myself with pliers when I was replacing the BMW badge on my E36...
I've broken a pinky replacing brake pads and gave myself horrendous soft tissue damage on my thumb trying to get my oil filter off. The crack it made was teeth-shattering.
@@drunkenhobo8020 oh fuck the thought alone makes me physically cringe, hope you're good now my guy
Ethan looking up in confusion every time he twists a nut is pure GOLD.
we should drink every time he looks up
@@Ditypo You would be dead in about 11 minutes.
Twisted nuts gachiHYPER
@@postfaceliftsaxo3728 i started this video with a 70cl bottle of kraken. A drink every time Ethan looked confused has be blind pissed.
@@coolL9457 roflmao
Ethan's a legend. Not many decent guys could take that level of unrelenting piss taking and not jump off a very high building. Respect to the man.
Most kids now would cry and call the police :P
You forget these are his best mates and it's a little bit scripted, not to mention the amount of money they make from CZcams videos I think anyone would happily be bullied for that😂
The look on his face at certain points.. I felt that
Like watching someone get bullied for half an hour yet nobody cares, and so many of the comments follow up with things like "harden up, mate" or just make more jokes at his expense
@@nathangreen6286 I don't know anyone who's previously dealt with years of bullying, who would be willing to go through more just for some money. I certainly wouldn't.
@@MotoCat91 you’re looking a little to deep into it my man
If you don't give your mates shit when working on cars are you really even friends?
Ethan searching for tools and swearing like a proper mechanic😂
Me as a mechanic: absolutely definitely true👌🏼
Absolutely true😅happends to me everyday
“Where the f*cks the goddamn {insert improper tool name here}? You seen the ___?”
@@puntachu facts
As I read this comment Ethan goes on to swear 3 times😂😂
Not gonna lie having Mike Brewer cheering me on I could probably tackle a whole engine rebuild on my own.
More like engine rebuild, body welding and full respray and valet.
Mike's excitement with cars: 100%
Mike's excitement with pizza: exceeds the limits of possible calculation
Lol.
But the bots ruined this thread
I really think the last thing Brewer needs is to eat more pizza.
@@atarvhegde5210 the bots were hungry for pizza
@@helipeek2736 lol
Nothing quite like Mike Brewer having a proud father moment over Ethans perpetrating fluid 🤣🤣
"Can I gun it?"
"idk it's your car"
on Ethan's place I probably just throw this wrench into someone lol
This should be called "forcing a non car person to be a car person"
I love how Mike Brewer has basically become a sponsor of this channel; sure just come use my unit for whatever you like! Adding more kudos to the guys and saving money.
Hhhhooooooddddd outtttt yaaaaaa hand
Right ? awesome seeing him on this channel. really shows you how much they've grown over the years.
Im guessing he saw the success drivetribe is having, so instead of coming up with his own thing, he just started working with CarThrottle that is already established
Amazing what basically came from Alex taking the piss out of him on the show
Mike has been a true gent allowing us to not only use the unit but all the tools, and the space for podcasts! Brilliant guy 👍
Gareths reaction at 3:55 when Mike says the Z3 is an amazing little Car
Hahahaha
Something tells me he does not agree
“More”
Me: he’s gonna break it
“More”
Me: he’s gonna break it
“More”
::breaks::
Me: you guys did that on purpose didn’t you?
That’s the point he went from a 0 to a -3
Ethan’s adamant statement of “I’m not cutting it!” and then 2 seconds later cutting to a scene of him cutting the spring was comedy gold.
Him walking around swearing because he couldn't find something is definitely me when I'm working on my car.
that's me trying to help my dad in his garage... dude has no idea how to put tools back in the same spot
What's funny is I'm actually the opposite. I laugh and make jokes during me fixing something.
Proud of you Ethan, most car guys learn slowly and don’t have two people mocking them while they learn. Love the videos you guys do, and can’t wait to see more z3 videos.
1:45 😂" You don't have too look up every time it does that"
"I don't know, You tell me" needs to be a t-shirt.
Lol Eth has a very low-key 4 vid YT channel
Yes defo
w0rd!
When Ethan swore like a sailor I feel was him celebrating that he is now a car guy.
That’s true
Swearing is a major part of working on your car.
One day I was working (and swearing) on my car in the driveway and didnt first see the jehovah's witnesses coming to my door. They heard me saying bad things and instantly left my driveway. So swearing can also be like a protective shield sometimes.
Even though Ethan is 1 year older than me, watching this i get the feeling i'm watching my son working on his car for the first time. Feel really proud of that guy. Good job Ethan! Also guys, really like the way the channel is going.
My favourite part is Ethan swearing at 16:38. Like damn, I am an industrial mechanic (Schlosser for my German friends) and used to every bit of swearing in German but hearing Ethan swear is something else and made my day)
Ethan WORKING ON his OWN PROJECT CAR made my 2020.
I actually wish they would cut the bs and encourage him a bit at this point, considering not that long ago he had never touched a car. They should of told him to just use a torque wrench from the beginning of reassembly. Things going wrong can really put someone off just starting out on cars. Gareth stop bullying Ethan.
Agreed
best thing of 2020 so far
..but the grand tour madagascar special is coming soon soooo
I think having two top rated comments might get close in your list
2020 is not that bad afterall
After the series we want to see an edit of Ethan cursing and hitting himself all time. 😂
It will just be beeeeeeeeeep. beeep,beep
@@jameslockyer9796 an uncensored video of it has to be released to us
What the fuck are these bot comments
@@ryanmackie1484 youtube algorythm was broken few weeks back and they are everywhere. As it seems they are gone now. Maybe it was fixed

“A lot of victories, a lot of losses...”
Welcome to the automotive culture, Ethan!
Ethan: Holds hand out asking for a bolt
Gareth: Gives a high five 😂
Mike Brewer is so kind in letting them work in his unit so much
Perhaps he's lonely during lockdown but I suspect the prospect of free pizza might have something to do with it as well! 😀
Eh well u know those uncles trying to waste time with young lads seeing them as the new generation.
I'm so looking forward to the moment when Alex and Gareth are going to realise that they created an Ethan who doesn't need them. Because he can now edit his footage of him working on his own project car.
I'm really proud of you mate well done.
And I'd like to see Gareth in front of Adobe Premier to edit a video with Ethan behind him in his "You tell me" t-shirt.
you tell me
God, was this one of the funniest or what
Heck yes!
That would be such an amazing video
Bloody hell, when this day comes I'll eat my hat. Although Ethan definitely knows too much.
"Battery is in the boot, found that out in my Haynes manual" My sides!!!
Gotta love Ethan, someone needs to make a video of ever time Ethan looks up at the camera in concern🤣
I watched Mike brewer buy and sell cars my whole youth, studied car mechanics and was one for 5 years always looking up to wheeler dealers to now watch Mike get super excited at ethan wrenching and realising he really is the guy I always wanted cheering me on for simple things since growing up after my father left. Thanks car throttle for this hearth warming content.
Ethan using the "drill" is like when your kid discovers something and looks at you, and you do that fake amazement look back
We all know how it feels Ethan, when I lowered my Mustang I first only ordered springs, tried to replace just them, got them in and had to replace the struts too, got the struts back in and found out I also had to change the strut mounts and sway bars. I think I speak for all of us when I say good work and welcome to the at home mechanic’s Union.
Slight slogan readjustment: "If Ethan can do it, (with the help of three very experienced car guys in a fully kitted out workshop) then anyone can!"
the thing is they didn't use complicated tools. No Lift just jack stands. obv if you're watching car videos you're probably more inclined to learn and do these things yourself and the only way you'll ever get experience is by doing it.
@@RaeesKhan-hf8kw all true, just funny how it was branded
fully kitted workshop,lol,three experienced guy letting a newbie loose with an impact gun,those bolts looked like they were already passed the torque settings to me,numpties teaching cowboy skills,yeee ha
Start off with minor things like fluid changes and progress gradually. Even the really good tools you'll need for most of the work ever, you'd get them all from about €200 to €400 easily.
What @chrisfix always says is get a quote for the job from the dealer/garage, do it yourself and save the money for tools! Within no time you'll start saving a TON of money and you'll know that the work on your car is actually being done right.
Can't wait to start working on my car!
czcams.com/video/vHrzpx6zpuE/video.html
Ethan’s face every time he used the impact gun! 😂
Mike Brewer is a lot more likeable when he pops up with these guys than on Wheeler Dealers.
Hes an absolute bellend on WD
Think it could be a stage personality that the producers require him to be on WD?
@@randomesteven3935 No, i think hes just generally a bit of a knob. Greasy used car salesman who tries to be your friend
4:57 “it’s taking the weight of the car, I think your 50 kilograms is alright” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Favourite comment " I was grinding a moment ago" " Talking about grinding "
Nearly spat my toast all over the table🤣🤣🤣😝😝
hahaha same, that was pure gold!
24:31
This series has to end at the Nurburgring
This series will be over by the end of the street
Now that is something I can get behind
After Ethan bins in the 5th corner
Are you trying to total the car and kill him? Maniac
I feel sad about how dead and sad Ethan went after the bolt snapped
yeah... but i guess everyone who does these kind of things, can relate to this^^
Happens. Shitty way to learn a lesson. And it's usually your fault
i think for someone who works on their car, at some point they will always face this. i got through mine and i felt what he felt too. damn relatable.
Weeelllll if only that wasn't staged.
All I can assume from all this is that ethans noise upon climax is “Done!”
I feel you're pain Ethan. It gets so much better. The very first thing I did on my car was suspension and I sheared off a bolt my first day too.
“I’m gonna come out of this a new confused man” -Ethan 2020
🐾👺💯
I feel so bad for Ethan, he looks like he wants to cry
I truly felt his pain. I almost cry once working on my truck. Trying desperately to remove the rusty fill plug on the rear differential.... It took me a few days to remove that plug
@@ismaela.6973 i got a washer stuck around the spark plug down the spark plug well, perfectly flush around the plug so no way to magnet it out, had to force a small socket onto the spark plug and thankfully it came out .. after 3 days of attempting random tactics on a car that was misfiring in the first place.. yeah ive been close
I feel like Ethan deserved way more respect than he got here. This is quite an involved job even for an experienced DIYer. For a newbie it was probably quite daunting - guys should have been more supporting of that, he did good for a first time job!... The Ethan of 3 years ago wouldn't have even attempted such a thing, so credit where it's due, he has grown as person. Maybe not a true car guy just yet, but well on his way.
I like the Jack and Ethan therapy sessions as this all plays out whereas Alex and Gareth just openly mocks him 😂
3:35 Brewer almost lost his cool there. Adorable
Oh. My. God. YES! Time to make some popcorn and enjoy this. I already know it's going to be fantastic entertainment.
Oh hey wacky, didn't know you watched car throttle
Why are the best videos like 'Ethan Repairs' So short? Yet even the boring Podcasts can be an hour long.🤔🤔🤔🤔
If Ethan (And Gareth) can do it...don't bother trying yourself out in the road.
@@statementleaver8095 Editing. Anyway the podcasts are laugh out loud funny at times.
@@Me-zo8yc I think they need to expand their minds and try a more economical approach to a 70's-90's small car rebuild.
Electric Bangernomics Daily Whip
Something Tax Exempt!!!!
It doesn’t matter if required, but we need at least one “hold out yer hand” in every video, Love it..
18:53 that will never get old, just Ethan sticking his hand out for Gareth to hand him a bolt, and instead Gareth decides that it'd be much more entertaining to slap his hand instead 😂
Aw Jack being supportive and giving advice to Ethan when the bolt snapped ☺️
He was the only one to see that Ethan was close to walking out lol
The one frame of Ethan's forehead on the front fender after shearing the bolt is the exact image of human despair.
Gareth’s face when Mike said it’s an amazing little car 😂😂
Ethan looks on the verge of tears throughout this whole experience, poor guy
Ethan looking back at everyone after doing something is like a dog asking its owner for permission to do something hahaha
True
for real when he was taking off the wheel in the beginning and kept looking up to Alex 😂😂
Cubing
👹🐾🐾
👺💯
My favourite part of this video is that while Alex and Gareth are berating Ethan and winding him up, Jack is coming in genuinely trying to help Ethan see the plusses and feel better about the whole thing. Jack seems like he'd be a cool guy to work on a car with.
I just realised how many subs this channel has now. I remember when it was mere thousands - good job!
I've had a shit day. Ethan has really cheered me up. Good work Ethan. My favourite bit was the utter despair on Ethan's face after the bolt was broken
Ethan's face when he was just finished with the front right corner, alone.
He looked genuinely happy there.
3 hours ago I found out that my grandpa with whom I shared my name and same birthday had passed from pneumonia. You guys gave me my first couple giggles. I'm a huge fan of the channel, first time commenting something. Keep up the great work and makes us smile.
RIP your grandad 💔
@@CarThrottle by you liking that comment and replying shows the type of guys you are. Top blokes and I love the channel! Keep up the good work. Go back a few years you guys would defo be on the proper top gear! Not the gay one they show these days
Sorry to hear dude, but glad you're smiling again.
Sorry to hear
Sorry to hear that. Best wishes to you and your family. Stay strong mate!
Ethan, you did really well mate.
Felt your pain when that bolt snapped but I'm glad Jack was there to reassure you. Class video and the emotional rollercoaster really came across in this video. Great video as always and great job guys
Loving the channel. Only found it by accident 5 days ago. Watched most of the material. A suggested challenge, two teams, Alex and Jack against Ethan and another given £500 each to find cars. The one who has the best looks, least work needed and value for money wins. Car guys against non car guys! Keep up the good work!
When are Ethan's " You tell me" T shirts avaiable?
RIP Alex 5:47
You’ll always be remembered in our hearts
Brilliant start, looking forward to seeing more
I need Mike's emotion in my life when i do something successfully 😁
I dread using coil spring compressors. Especially when they start flexing and make you think they’re gonna relieve you of one of your limbs
Yes, very, very stressful!
Agreed. I'd never dare using one of those, especially with power tools.
I prefer the one we have at work, even if it's heavy and hard to use. I feel a bit safer then.
Daily dose of stress for me haha
I have a set and have yet to actually need them for any suspension work. Land Rover suspension and 1950s Austin Healey suspension is easier to change without! Using them on the Defender for the first time was terrifying but I've not used them since.
Quite useful for clamping horse feed buckets to the fence to stop them being dumped on the floor.
@@tomcardale5596 haha yeah, solid-axle vehicles might be the way to go just to avoid having to use these things.
CT wouldn't be the same without ethan, hes a goat
Fact
Agreed, but he’s the female version of a man.
@@M135iboost and is there a problem with that?????
hes not a goat, hes THE goat
There can only be 1 goat
And it’s on my farm
We need next episode of this now!!! I can't wait to see what it turns into!!! You have a new subscriber!
Loved this, Ethan is the hero of all of us car enthusiasts that don't have the knlowledge, time and/or money to have a project car, keep up the good work lad
You could see how upset Ethan was when the bolt snapped. It's an easy thing to do Ethan it's always fixable!
He looked like he could’ve used a hug
Its sooo god dam relatable! we've all been there. I don't have a car- but when I snapped one of the bolts on my bike, I think I had the same look on my face 😂 one day I will get a project car, and have even more of these moments 😂
👹🐾👺
@@iwantsexseemyvideo4988 😂😂😂😂😂
Seeing ethan sit there practically crying is giving me flashbacks to my project car
I love Mike so much!! He’s like the most sound person in the world!!
23:25 just won my subscription, subbed with notifications on
I was teetering when Ethan was walking around the shop cursing to find a tool, but then the angle grinding bit sent me over hahaha
6:20 “there’s a spider”. Well it is a convertible, Ethan.
Oh see what you mean.
“Can a car break a man?”
*YES*
Probably the funniest video I have seen all year! Absolute quality! Please give us more of this
Really enjoyed watching this!! So funny when the recording was sped up and in the back ground you see Alex standing on the table fighting with the bolt. Also well done Ethan !
Ethan, you deserve to be proud of yourself! Brakes & Supension, incl. sheered bolt in one day, doing it for the first time. The look of acomplishment on your face was gold and you could drive home on your own wheels, that`s all that matters in the end. Nice
I think we're genuinely looking at the Top Gear trio in about 10-15 years.
I think it's gonna be these 3 for UK top gear and Hoovie, Freddie and Ed for US. Honestly I'd watch US top gear if Hoovie, Ed and Freddy were hosting it
@@sykurpudi1 that budget brand Top Gear knockoff Hoovie, Tavarish and Fred did was absolutely terrible though. Those guys have zero chemistry together
Uk version maybe, for the US I'm thinking, chrisfix, the detail geek, and someone else, though I don't know who
@@PlaidMoose although I agree with you, it wasn't the trio lacking chemistry that was the problem. Freddy, Tyler and Ed have actually been great friends for a long time so they've got good chemistry. However, the show tries too much to imitate the chemistry between the old Top Gear hosts, which comes forth as bad chemistry between our car trek trio. Season 2 showed that they're improving incrementally and thus this could become a really good show in the end. Whereas S1 was a bit awkward, I enjoyed S2 substantially more and I can see the potential car trek can achieve.
Really love these DIY videos. Had so much laugh, the banter between them is gold!
I love it. I think you guys should upload an uncut version as i could watch this for hours.
This hit me deep 😅 seeing Ethan run through the full spectrum of human emotion in one day until at last it was finished, in much longer than it should have taken. Classic
Ethan working on a car is a like a cook in the army ending up on the front line, capable but out his depth
Need more of this series come on guys!!
I'm so happy Mike's getting more involved. Also great that Ethan finally has a project car!
Ethan - "That's actually gone in!"
" I'm going to come out of this a new confused man"
Ahaha Cheney school pfft
Cheers to Mike for being such a good guy
It’s really cool seeing Mike on here. Can’t wait for more videos with Ethan’s project. It would have been cool to see him track it and then track it again after the mods but this alone is a big step 😅
I love watching ethan work on cars, the frustration is just bliss 😂
Mike is the emotional support we all need for 2020
"Mr Honda Jazz" - me, driving my wife's old jazz "...and I took that personally...!"
Well done to all of you it must of been a ballache that especially for the guy who's just learning. Enjoyed this video! Keep them coming!
I was waiting for this episode so much! I really want to build a car but I dont have any experience and this really motivates me that I can.
Mike I just the best!! You get such a big smile on your face when he is around 😄
Yeah, maybe don't tell him to be threading in old bolts with an impact wrench... Poor dude got set up for a rough first project.
maybe tell him that those shock absorbers are bad
Or let him learn the hard way and for sure he won't forget.
Ethan: Holds hand out asking for a bolt
Gareth: Gives a high five 😂
Think he was well and truly set up there, after he was meant to get the torque setting from his Haynes manual.
Yeah bit of a waste of time :/
This is the best thing u could think of, honestly.
As a relatively new car guy and trying to get into mechanics and maintenance for my own cars, this is the best and funniest series u could create.
Well done Car Throttle, thanks
I feel very proud of Ethan and his progress! Great video guys
Been waiting for this!
"Gunny" I’m really hoping that Alex was making a peep show reference
I heard it and went down to the comments hoping someone else would have mentioned it
@@bendavis2968 they’ve made peep show references in the past
Well done boys. One of the funniest things I have ever seen on Tube You. Had to watch it 3 times to appreciate Ethan's prowess. Never give up, walk away if needed and enjoy doing burnouts when all is said and done.
I confess, I haven't enjoyed CarThrottle video so much for a long time. Awesome! Thank you Guys.
Ethan - what an absolute star - well done for having a go - you’re putting many wannabe mechanics to shame 👍
