I feel like "MoneyKit" could be a good MoneyPit sequel show
"I'm Zach jobe, and this isnt a Ferrari"
Lol
I’m Zach Jobe and this is a Caterham
@@ivanvilla2858 Could do it hi/Low style, Caterham vs MK Indy or similar.
Actually I love the idea
Officer: Do you know how fast you were going?
Me: No sir, I forgot how to assemble the speedometer.
Coca-cola: "try to be less white today"
My grandfather was on a Battleship in WWII for Britain.
He got stopped by the Police driving through the Lake-District in England:
Police Officer: _"Do you know what speed you were going through that village...?"_
My Grandfather: _"...What village?"_
Instructions unclear: speedometer cable attached to spare tire instead of front-left wheel.
Found out that doesn't work. Found out in my grandma's Buick Regal when I was 17 and got ticket number 1.
😂
laughed my ass off when you bleeped out cockpit.

Speaking of, what car are you guys building next?! Can't wait to see it!
Are you guys going to hook up the next build with wheels, tires, and suspension?
Hi
Yup they gonna hook us up with all the tires wheels and Suspension just slap on some donut stickers and ready for track day😎
Hi
Tacoma
this channel is such a meme... ends with shrek being the deciding factor. This is why Im a subsriber.
2:14 - #9 MevExocet
3:30 - #8 DF Goblin (my favorite)
5:13 - #7 Aldino K/O
6:24 - #6 Car Factory ETV
7:11 - #5 SuperLite Moab
8:37 - #4 Ultima Evo Coupe (my second favorite)
10:07 - #3 RCR XJ13

Ultima is such a cool car
DF Goblin doesn't have enough good youtube content out there, but there IS a guy posting some stuff that is VERY recent with a nearly 600whp time attack car racing the Dragon!!! That things is NUTS.
6:56
Me writing my essay:
"according to the inventor who invented this invention"
frrr
i thinking the exact same 😭
Yo, donut media should make a vid about the rpm act, people need to know
That’s a lot of inventing
“According to the inventor who invented this invention” is how I write my essays
czcams.com/video/UzZYjd5WgHg/video.html .
best way of making the essay look longer
Lol
Got to get that word count somehow 😂😂
I swear donut media is the only channel where I don't skip the sponsor ads
RCR is one of the best. I would love to see you guys do more about kit builds!
The gt40 Tho?
Officer: you were going 150 sir.
Me, with a physics degree from the local community college: Speed is relative.
Lol, yes, relative to the road that you're driving on, and you were driving 150 mph faster than the road 😅😜
Relative to the officer. Duh.
@@metwono that would be cool, then everytime they were driving behind you, you wouldnt be speeding. Lol
"you get to decide what kind of guts to put in it, you can't do that with kids"
james i need to have a serious conversation with you
Hi PLK
What kind of guts, eh? Bruh just put that out of context
:0
Hey there
OMG plk what u do here
When he quoted Lil Wayne I laughed for a good 10 seconds 😂
Same ,so unexpected 🤣
2:04 hush Miata, its just the same when she says she wants a guy like you but not you
Bleeped out 'monocoque' got me, well played editor, well played.
That, or YT is getting REALLY out of control...
10:44 RCR the OGs!
"Headlights go up, Headlights go down..." is the father of "Pop up up and down headlights"
Should do a special edit RCR x DonutMedia shirt with that theme!

i'm your dad.
It would be the first nc17 donut episode
hey just wanted to say that your channel is awesome. i love these videos especially the "up to date" videos. my dad was a car guy in the 70's. him and his friends used to drag their chevy nova SS's down friars road in san diego. i used to get dropped off at school in a 82 pontiac trans am. my first car was a 93 mazda mx6 LS. this channel keeps my inner car guy alive. my dad loves it cause hes lived through some of the events you talk about. i'm more into JDM he's pure americana. just wanted to say you guys are doing gods work. keep making great content
Thanks for doing your job. You showed a bunch of kit car companies that most people probably couldn't find if they were searching for these kinds of things on the internet by themselves.
"You get to decide what kind of guts you want to put in it. Can't do that with kids." WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON TO, JAMES?!?!? 😂😂😂😂
dude i legit read that as he said it
Lmao
@@SquarebodyLife183 i find myself doing that a lot

Kit cars: the best way to speedrun your marriage.
Also, happy birthday!
Thanks for this video. I saw the Exo-Miata here first and loved it. Finished building mine a few weeks ago.
I freaking love this guy! No matter what mood I'm in. He makes me smile!! Dude keep it going!!
Hell yeah! Happy Birthday James! Have a fantastic day!
Me watching this while sitting in my civic that’s in 100s of pieces wondering why it’s not on this list
Lmao
what generation is your civic?
Lol,why is it in pieces,man?
As popular as the Civic/Integra is, I'm surprised nobody came out with a kit for one yet. Mount the drivetrain in the rear with a shift kit, and put a non-abs steering rack in it...
Yo, donut media should make a vid about the rpm act, people need to know
Move the TV into the garage was exactly what I was thinking just before you said it. A projector pointed at the garage wall to make a home drive in is an even better option.
Factory 5 deserved more screen time😘
For real one day i will own the factory 5 shelby daytona coupe
Agreed. I plan to build the 818C. I just need to move to a place with more garage space.
I like how James compared making a car to watching Paul blart 133 times
133 MORE times
Last time I was this early, bumper 2 bumper was actually going bumper 2 bumper talking about really cool builds/cars
Yeah it’s just Science Garage now
Last time I was this early, I actually got Up to Speed...
Covid didn't really give them a choice.
I must add, I’m not complaining about the new b2b, I like it, but I do miss the old b2b
Happy birthday James im really glad youre still here with us all
Always love the videos. Solid Work.
built a kit car before, caused my parents divorce, 10/10 would not recommend
Lmao
Hope that AC Cobra was Worth it..
No. You cannot drop that and not explain. At least tell us what car.
hahahaha this actually could be true through
I also read that book as well.
'C*ckpit' and 'Monoc*ck' legit made me laugh
In my grade 12 year at high school, our project for the semester was building a Lotus Seven.
The Lister Bell STR is one of my bucket list vehicles I want to build and drive.
I've always had a thing for the Stratos.
Shout out to RCR!!!❤
I'm Jevv Beabos
we need a video on EPA and RPM act right now so our hobby doesnt die guys pleaseeee
These guys are libs so they won’t fight it
you need to look into what the EPA actually is doing its about medium and heavy-duty engines NOT cars
@@jhondoe1483 Ask the gun owners, rights are rights. Once they take one, they'll be back for more...
@@jhondoe1483 yes that's what the EPA labeled it as, and that is mostly what its about. If you actually read it though there is a small portion of it that says no road vehicles or road engines can be converted to race cars or race engines. This means that every motorsport like spec Miata, any road racing circuits, and things like drifting will all be no longer legal. They are already trying to fine and shut down companies making aftermarket engine parts and other parts, things like cams, pistons, rods, turbos, superchargers, coilovers, and everything else. It is not just exhaust companies and tuning companies. So yes, the EPA is doing medium and heavy duty engines, but they are also trying to stop our ability to have race cars converted from road cars. When you really think how this will affect the motorsport industry there will only be a few motorsports that can qualify with these standards, F1, Nascar, things like that, but no normal car guy has the kind of money to have custom tube chassis cars being made with engines that didn't come in a road vehicle. If the EPA gets this to pass it is going to kill all of the motorsports that matter to all the people who don't have a lifetime of savings to get into it.
Ummmm? The EPA restrictions proposed was from a few years back when Republicans were runnin' the show. Da boyz rollin coal on hybreds and Teslas with cameras and car shows featuring " how to defeat emission control's and so on. We brought it on. Don't blame " liberals " as many liberals have muscle cars too. We need a united front to keep the lifetime burocratic actors at bay.
I worked at a gas station for a few years, had a customer bring his cobra kit car every summer. Was waiting the whole video for that to show up, did not disappoint
My old boss had a Shelby kit car. I can't vouch for how it performed. I know that it looked fantastic and sounded even better.
"Lamborgine Mashine" 😂
I think you guys should make a series building your own kit car. I'm sure you could get sponsored by Factory Five Racing or whatever company you want to build a GTM or SLC or Grullon GT8
This would be super cool. I would love to see and factory five 818 build since they're pretty inexpensive.
They should build a factory five 818
It looks pretty modern and it’s pretty damn cool
Thank you so much🙏💕
Super happy to see James back in front of the camera and looking good. Take care my dude!
Fun fact, there's a podcast called Till Death Do Us Blart by the McElroys and the Worst Idea of All Time boys where every thanksgiving they watch and review Paul Blart Mall Cop 2, forever. Then when a member dies, they'll pass on that seat to an heir, in perpetuity, so the podcast will go on forever in theory. Maybe eventually they will watch it 133 times and lament that they could have built a sweet kit car.
Why do you know this
Watch the Blart Side of the Mall video. Amazing.
The James and Nolan dynamic is honestly one of the things that makes my day every time I see it in a video.
Also hbd james we luv u
thank you for brightening up my days with the up beat funny vibes
''In the future, you don't look to the past ...''. That got me good...😂
So Donut and Hoonigan just uploaded videos like seconds ago... me is happy right now
Day 99 of wanting Up To Speed back
Day 9 of wanting Money Pit back
Happy B-day James :)
Rules of the channel, only one "Day x of" per comment
@@joealex65 na
My friends dad had a cobra kit car in high school and we went for a ride once it was cool idk what it was but cool to learn about kit cars all this time later
Your presentation delivery is exceptionally impeccable as usual.
think the term your looking for is "beyond reproach", "exceptionally impeccable"sounds like you're talking boobs
5:43 “they light on fire pretty easily” “not an advantage but truel😂😂😂🤣
You’re doing a good job. I like cars and watching videos about cars. We are the “birds of a feather “
“Sorry I had a lot of caviar....” awesome. Happy birthday James 🤙🏻
I feel so proud, my car (Chevy Cobalt) and my girlfriends car (Pontiac Fiero) were both mentioned in the same video 😆😂
To bad he mentioned the Fiero in the worst light. He continued to lie about how bad the fires were and then suggest people use a car that does not have that many decent examples left and turn it into a POS, ugly, disproportionate, pile of crap, deformed Lambo or Ferrari clone. The stock Fiero, specially the GT looks ten times better than those stupid kits.
Your gal has good taste in cars. She's a keeper.
@Kevin Sullivan No, not on this issue.
@@Zankaroo he literally said how bad it was in the up to speed
@@warrenlaughlin26 And I literally countered everything he said with facts in a comment on that video.
Makes me happy to see James looking so healthy.
My uncle has a kit cobra and it is amazing
A Caterham 7 is the my dream kit car, and retiring to Deals Gap NC
If you get an old alpha Romeo you have to rebuild it every morning!!
Yeah, but if you get an old alfa you have one of the best driving and looking cars ever
@@23Shadowfox23 when... It runs
@@riduloingo87 ouch.
@@samuelmoon2766 all in good fun lmao, when I get a car I can guarantee it wont run 70% of the time 🤣
@@riduloingo87 you said when, not if ;)
Actually the old Nord engines were quite reliable (except one minor oil line problem) but it's a bit sad that the car would rust away before the engine would break hahahahah
... “And all you need, is a Pontiac Fiero!”
Ah, you mean one of the half dozen that haven’t spontaneously combusted yet? Sounds easy enough to me.
You mean the worst handling and slowest mid-engine car that was ever built?
Only the first year had those problems
I built my S5 13b powered EXOCET in 2018. Took about 8 months but it is the most ridiculous car I have ever owned in a list that features a 500hp WRX, a 250hp Corolla GT-S coupe and 8 RX7's from all 3 generations, 4 FC, 3 SA22, 1 FD. Woulda been done a lot quicker if I had used the MX5 drivetrain they are built for, but where's the fun in that. Remember, friends don't let friends drive stock lol.
Seen one of the fierro kit cars when I was a kid. And one that the donor car was a Firebird.
Didn’t think I would see James in a bathtub right after getting out of school but here we are
Someone needs to livestream building one of these while watching paul blart in the background the whole time
I had a ff cobra. Pretty cool.
Very good D-list.
Happy Birthday James aka The Kentucky Cobra
When he said "Catter haam" instead of Caterham really made me laugh, caught me off guard.
me too, I almost spilt my tea
RCR is like 10 minutes from me and one of my best friends used to work there. Love the content and the new hat and shirt my fiance ordered for me!👌🔥👊
The cobra spec is hilariously perfect. I want to see that!
I bet a turbo-K-series FFR Roadster would actually perform extremely well.
"*Violent car noises*"
A caption has never been so accurate
10:20 speaking for all English people, we appreciate the usage of English terminology when describing a British racing car
Shame he didn't pronounce Caterham correctly, though.
Super laughed at the “probably a Toyota “
The beep on monocoque gets me every time 😂
I say 3 Donut crew guys get a $25k budget, build the cars however they want and show up for a series of challenges
He shouted out Regular Car Reviews!!! Heck yeah!!! Love those two!!

I have ridden in a Kit Cobra before it was really cool. it was a older gentleman and his battery died in the car and he needed a ride to walmart and he told me that if i gave him a ride to get a new battery for him he would give me ride in the car so he did it was awesome the thing ripped!! had a 302 ford engine in it with built heads and a high flow carb thing was sick was champane in color so kind of a gold metallic :)
This is awesome. I'm 20% into building a Factory Five MkIV Roadster and having a blast doing it with my two young sons. You guys should do one and make videos about it! I'd watch that ish on repeat!
Done yet?
Props to the editor who clearly hand tracked The Zebra screen on that laptop frame by frame. #commitment
Um...Happy Birthday James!
Thanks for the video.
Love the content please keep making more
I built a Factory Five and it was the coolest thing I have ever done. There is actually a weekend long workshop you can go to where they build one in 4 days to show you how easy it is. Seriously it's the ultimate project car with a phenomenal online community. We need more k-wapped cobras!
@Based Ohio the cobra Mk4 roadster
Superformance definitely got Shelby's sign off to build several of his cars. They can build them so exact to the originals that they can almost be considered continuation models.
Shout out Superformance! One of our favorite B2B cars
Let’s no forget that ,with the right drive train, factory five’s 33 hot rod CAN OUT RUN LAMBOS.
The Cobra Replica is a dream of mine some day. My mid-life crisis (that and a '57 Bel-Air kit car)
James, I'm loving the mellower delivery, it let's your humour really shine on its own merits. Thanks man!
James always rocking some unique snap back
I remember watching the XJR-13 at the Monterey Historics (I've still got the sweatshirt) way back in the '90s - it broke down on it's only lap. LOL
Did anyone else say "Toyota" in unison with James when talking about what V6 to put in the Stratos?
Me: sees the wierd Altima, thinks of that wierd one in Forza
James: Now you might recognize this as that wierd fast car from Forza
Me: did he just read my mind??
Was thinking the exact same thing
I remembered it from Project Gotham Racing. 3 or 4 lol
I’m gonna get one one day
Ultima*
I can't wait for the RCR crossover now. Happy Birthday I'm glad you're still on this earth.🤘
Ultima is a awesome kit also based and built in the UK 😊
I helped my buddy build his df goblin kit and that thing is badass. Thank god for the wiring walkthrough videos on their CZcams channel or it woulda taken forever
I am shocked that you Z boys didn’t put the vaydor on this list I actually like that one a lot
Vaydor kind of sucks now, Personally I never liked it anyways
thank goodness this video was released while i was taking a break from my economy class, btw happy birthday I hope you can always make other people feel entertained by your work James
Due to the lack of mopar kit car options. I have decided I will build my own eventually. Schwartz performance offers a full length chassis upgrade for the 70-74 challenger. Combine that with a dynacorn replica steel body for a 70 challenger and whatever powerplant you desire and boom. Instantly you have a factory new challey that has better performance and road handling characteristics thanks to the schwartz chassis. Around $50-$75K and you come out with a better "factory" challenger than has ever been built. No donor so you get a special construction vin. Built not bought.
Happy Birthday James!!!
Thank you James for remembering you giant brothers, watched the whole video knowing I’m way too tall for any of these.
Tall people shouldn't have any issue with any of the Factory 5 or Superformance kits. Except maybe the Factory 5 818, but I'm 6ft, 300lbs, and fit inside my Fiero GT (not a stupid, ugly, POS kit) just fine.
@@Zankaroo yeah I’m actually 6 foot 7 and 230 pounds so I’m a lot longer than normal
@@AlexJMerry Yeah, I was just trying to give some reference. I gained about 40lbs since I got the car so its a little harder to get in and out of but I still do it without much issue at all. Like most low sitting sports cars its all about how you go about getting in rather than fitting once you are in.
