Bro has all the IQ possible
Loved this episode. Made me feel like “if James can do it I can”
Be careful you dont want that to go like an ae86 vs miata
"If an 86 can do it, then i can too"
That's a roast
Its just having the right tools tbh
P
@@abarrazarios For real if you have the proper tools and a good service manual/AllData (or these days CZcams lol) you can really accomplish any repair or maintenance item on your vehicle. I mean I went to school and got an applied sciences degree in automotive technology and then when I went out and started working in the field that shit didn’t really ever get out to use lol, you have to learn hands on and actually do it anyway to people just gotta grab a wrench and go.
*Literally yeets a engine before slappin a turbo into the miata*

@Awesomike05 insane swap TBH
XD trueee
Imagine if he puts the 4AG in the MX5 lol

James demonstrated that he definitely knows how to take dabs
I was just thinking... Homie looked experienced when he was taking a rip of that coolant hose
Hes a Vdub guy, was this even a question???
exactly what i was finna say💀
I will answer any dab questions anyone has for the low low price of a dab.
@@PrayItForwardAGAPE don't have any dabs but I always wondered, could I use a jet lighter to heat a banger? Ik it's best to have a torch but would it work?
after seeing this, it makes me feel good that a beginner (like myself) can still learn. I changed my oil, flushed and filled coolant system and changed my motor mounts. TBH, I was always scared of even touching the battery, but I had to take it out to get to one of the mounts, and just that was freeing for me. I can finally say I DID IT!
I was in the same boat, probably around the time this comment was made. Hell yes! Proud of you

This video is a year old and I know maybe no one will see this, but so far this has to be one of my favorite videos on this channel. Everything about it is so relaxing and calming to me for some odd reason, despite the fact that this task is so difficult for most people. This made me genuinely happy :)
You're not alone! I just recently found the money pit series and have been watching the hell out of it. Super educational and hilarious at the same time! It was really nice to see a skilled mechanic helping out a relatively non-skilled mechanic, for lots of us it gave us the perspective of ourselves trying to do something this daunting.
I saw it and appreciated your comment.
I saw it, too, and I feel the same way!
We all like to think we are the pro, but in reality, we are beginners
I feel personally attacked by this true and accurate statement.
Depends on what you're working on.
@@duomaxwell5807 a "pro" doesnt say sh*t like this.lmfao they just get it done!
@@260657df A "pro" knows what they know. An amateur thinks they know everything. I can pull both engines off Cessna citation in a day, or a Subaru engine in 45 mins. give me something I'm not familiar with and I'll want someone who knows the job. That's how "pros" work.
I have never been so offended by something I agree with 100%
Hiring Zack is one of the best decisions Donut has ever made.
Was just thinking this. First few shows, he wasn’t quite there yet. He’s definitely become one of my faves.
heard this a few times, can’t agree more
He like, actually knows what he's doing
@@joekirklin same bro he wasn't running off on me yet because he seemed like he didn't fit the other guys' energy and vibe, but thats just cuz he was not used to being on a show yet... as soon as he got comfortable, he shot like a rocket and I don't even remember when I started liking him lol its just as if I never found him boring at all.
If they hired me, zack and i would be pussshhhhiinnngggg out projects
Super approachable guide to an engine removal. They used jacks and stands just like most would at home. They do all this with equipment we can get and afford. That is the best part about this channel. You guys are awesome!
This went exactly how I expected. Reminds me of the good ol days of spilling every possible fluid on the garage floor. And by good ol days I mean a few weeks ago lol
Zach and James have such great chemistry on screen. It’s always such a treat when they host an episode together.

I need people like u around me I wanna do a engine swap too
Same here we should all link up one day😂💪🏾
How did your car journey go since then?
Yes I also want to know how the journey has been
Love James being like it’ll be out by lunch time but me and a bunch of my buddies spent a few weeks trying to pull an engine outta a van
everyone's a pro until you find a bag of left over bolts and nuts
I don’t think you worked on a car properly if you used all the bolts. Gotta have a couple left over even if you’ve done it before
Less weight=race car
Having extra nuts and bolts just means you are smarter that the engineers that designed it in the first place. Obviously they were not needed. 😀
If it runs, it runs 😎
My first motorcycle I took apart completely I had a couple of bushings left over, and no matter where I looked I couldn't find where they went, runs good still

Agreed
My tip for electrical connectors is that I have an assortment of different colored zip-ties. I put a tie on the lead to the connector, and one of the same color around the receptacle or sensor. Just not on hot stuff like o2 sensors. I just leave them on. That way, they are pre-marked if I have to disconnect them in the future. Works great, and saves confusion and time.
Hey man I’ve been watching you guys for about 6 months now. And I gotta say I love this video, James putting in the work and getting it done without much help shows part of your growth and I think it’s awesome. I actually learned about initial D from you guys recently watched what I could on CZcams. Freaking loved it and I love the significance of what you did here man. Great job dude!
Me: finally they’re going to turbo the miata!
Next week on money pit: are stickers on a miata worth it?
James: The starter went.
Zach: IS THAT WHY WE'RE SWAPPING IT?!?!
🤣🤣💀
I swapped a motor into my mustang at the age of 17 and did it in one weekend. I gotta say if you have a passion for it and have a good idea of how to use your hands you can do it for sure!👍🏾
"Show me a guy who can take an entire hood off himself" I've done it once on my 88 chrvy c1500. Held it with one hand while removing the 4 bolts with the other, and then struggled with it but gently got it down to the groundwithout scratching, felt like a champ
Love the energy between James, Zach, and Nolan.

Lol like deadpool
He already reminds me of a teddy bear
I can't say enough about how I much fun your jobs seem to be. I love cars and feel like I made mistakes in my life chasing money vs just doing the things I loved and earning money doing them. Working with guys like these on cars all day would seem like a vacation to me.
I did it the for first time this summer. The trickiest part for me was just making sure i was doing it right (confidence) didnt want to drop the original 350 on the front bumper. Took so much longer than it would a second time. Forums are key. The classic olds forum was absolutely essential. Probably as handy as the chiltons manual for basic stuff in my experience.
This should just be a regular show. Pumfrey actually being a mechanic and everyone watching and laughing at him.
Pumfrey’s projects?? I think we got a winner here 🍩
they have a similar thing on car throttle at the minute with Ethan, no where near as intense as this tho

I was an oil change guy at work a while back with no experience. They made me learn on a 19 gmc terrain after only ever going brakes as my biggest job. As of right now I’m doing a piston job and rebuilt my first transmission 😀
This was the video I needed to watch. I got me a VW mk2 diesel and need to do some fluid changes. I have always been in the back "learning" as people have done things to cars. This video gives me the confidence to watch some videos, read the service manual (what a resource) and make my Jetta happy. Then comes straight waste oil set up. Much exite. Doughnut rocks
That’s a great platform to learn on man. Enjoy the journey.

James followed Zack's order of operation,. Didn't think we'd notice when Zack told him, "be ready for spills, it's gonna happen, have rags and brake cleaner handy, but also draining the transmission first would have prevented this.(8:24)" Even though he just told everyone to pull driveshaft and then drain all fluids.(3:29) Remember kids always drain fluids before pulling driveshaft. Jkjk your videos are awesome!!! Good job James! If you can do it anyone can lol. Hiring Zack was one of their best decision Donut has ever made!
4:51... My friend did when we were fixing my 97 Mitsubishi L200 Pick up Truck... I did the reverse when we were done... use 2 long pieces of wood pop it open, jam some clothes on the edges, then unbolt them, hold the hood when removing the pieces of wood, then lift...
Man, this pandemic has made all the donut members look like their own separate channels so whenever I see them in a video together it has started to feel like some sort of weird crossover video even though it’s technically “normal”

My best advice... get in a good friendship/relationship with someone who either manages/owns/works at a mechanic shop. my best friend works as a mechanic at the same shop my dad manages. everytime I ever needed to pull my tranny or motor I take it to them to put on the lift. makes life so damn easy
You guys make it look so easy, and it gives me so much confidence. Thanks.

I'm a beginner and I pulled my intake manifold, exhaust manifold, turbo, downpipe, hell, the whole exhaust, and the wiring harness on my speed3. All I have left is the drive shafts and engine mounts :)
For jobs that have a lot of different length bolts I’ll grab a piece of cardboard, draw a rough diagram and poke holes in it where the bolts are. It’s a little excessive but if it’s a backyard job and you have to leave the project for a week or so, you can come back and know exactly where you left off
Once there was a kid that asked how a turbo works. A guy named Bart answered his question. Then he answered more questions. Then some other guys answered even more questions. Then that kid got addicted to donut media.

I actually did this exact thing years ago with a friend of mine. I was a professional mechanic, my friend was a car enthusiast with some experience working on cars, but not much. We replaced the engine in his FWD car in his driveway. I “made” him do most of the work, offering guidance and a helping hand when needed. Honestly, the best way to help someone learn something as hands-on as car repairs is to just have them do it and offer advice when they get stuck or start to do something wrong/dangerous.

I remove hoods by myself all the time. Place rags and pads at the windshield's base. Use a stick to hold up the front of the hood (too many cars don't come with prop rods anymore). Removed bolts and wedge to the pads you laid down. Then go to the front and grab the hood and walk away with it. I've done this mostly with trucks because they broke down the most often in the south where I'm at, and I refused to wait for someone to get to a stopping point on their job to help me.
Starting to be familiar with engine replacements when you own cars over 50 years old, last summer I had to change the engine in one car three times and this summer I have already had two engines in one car.
This is my favorite episode from Donut Media by far. Just a group of friends working on an AE86 together, learning and having fun at the same time. Love the interactions between Zach and James too. Keep it up!!
