    Those first few minutes - what a great decision: no intro, just drive. This is, without a doubt, my favorite build series on the internet. EDIT - I've got some balls you can inflate!

    • @Smokkedandslammed
      @Smokkedandslammed Před rokem +8

      It's called being hella flexed on. He super flexed on us. Salt bae flexed us so hard.
      Yes, I'm jealous and no, you're crying!

    • @Noggles10
      @Noggles10 Před rokem +4

      Agreed. I wish more channels would do these asmr type videos. So many have amazing engine and exhaust soundtracks that they cover up with stupid music.

    • @JK-0playa
      @JK-0playa Před rokem

      Completely agree. More intro less talking :) j/k... but seriously...

    • @Oborowatabinostk

      10/10 asmr

    • @FigureItAudi
      @FigureItAudi Před rokem +1

      Gave me some Beamskhana vibes.

  • @Sf_Mason
    @Sf_Mason Před rokem +49

    That roar on full throttle is addictive to listen to, absolutely epic.
    Perfect engine for that car and well engineered.

    • @anydaynow01
      @anydaynow01 Před rokem +2

      Yeah I can only imagine how glorious it sounds driving past the pit wall!

  • @yuriypolevoy
    @yuriypolevoy Před rokem +13

    The first few minutes were a cinematic masterpiece! No dialogue, just the engine doing the talking.
    This build was a pleasure to watch you guys killed it!

  • @Addmoreboost
    @Addmoreboost Před rokem +30

    This video is the essence of what made and what MAKES Speed Academy a great channel. Congrats Dave (and Pete) on building an incredible machine. This is the content we’re all here for. Long live Connie.

  • @AngelFloyd27
    @AngelFloyd27 Před rokem +22

    My pleasure guys, this series has been such a joy to watch, and I hope Connie gets some more attention and we get some more content in the future. I would love to see some hot laps once everything is sorted out, and see what sort of times she has in her. Have a nice day guys, and keep the content coming, thank you so much for your effort.
    PS: The intro was just perfection ❤

  • @troycheron
    @troycheron Před rokem +44

    amazing intro. the track testing videos are by far the highlight of the entire channel

    • @Kamukix
      @Kamukix Před rokem +5

      Agreed, seeing the actual work being done and then seeing the cars actually do hardcore driving that's not just on the street...it's everything.

  • @chrisjourneay6661

    Praise for the sound engineer on this one. So so good.

  • @comfort_in_discomfort
    @comfort_in_discomfort Před rokem +6

    Brilliant episode guys. Excellent choice for Connie to show of her goods for a few minutes. Do this with every finished project.

  • @draggonhedd
    @draggonhedd Před rokem +32

    For the brakes, could you change the pedal lever ratio? move the mount point for the pushrod closer to the pivot. More leverage but also more pedal movement, taking some of the touchiness out of it, giving you more granular modulation.

    • @3doghaus
      @3doghaus Před rokem +9

      I agree. Figuring out how to adjust pedal ratio is the first place I'd look before swapping out the whole assembly.

    • @JD.Martin
      @JD.Martin Před rokem +1

      Agreed, that was my first thought as well.

  • @CraaaigV302
    @CraaaigV302 Před rokem +14

    I absolutely cannot get enough of that beams sound with the ITB you guys nailed it it came out absolutely PERFECT IN MY OPINION!! Great job again guy said

  • @jdmaltezza
    @jdmaltezza Před rokem +10

    I love all of y'all's videos but this one really talks the the driver inside of me. Just starting off really just enjoying the sounds and beauty of Connie really was a stroke of genius on both of your parts. Huge hearts.

  • @antbymcnair4297
    @antbymcnair4297 Před rokem +2

    Dang! What a perfect way to showcase the car. The no talking during the beginning was the best.

  • @aroundomaha
    @aroundomaha Před rokem +5

    The intro totally rocks. Made me want to jump in my car and do some rev matching!

  • @ryanlawson5768
    @ryanlawson5768 Před rokem +4

    Please update us when you get the brakes and shifting sorted out, would love to see a video in the future just like this again where we see you driving it the way you want to!

    The color grading and cinematography on that intro, chef's kiss.

  • @iand4835
    @iand4835 Před rokem +1

    Have really enjoyed this build, making me cry that I didn’t keep mine back in the early 80’s.

  • @pr0craztinazn
    @pr0craztinazn Před rokem +1

    Viewers don’t complement your cinematography efforts much, but in this video, it’s front and center. Based on how the build was shot overall, it’s my favorite of all the builds you’ve done. Can’t imagine how much effort went into nailing the drone shots and merging all those camera angles together into that amazing final product!

  • @speeddemon2262
    @speeddemon2262 Před rokem +3

    Having a pretty bad morning till that beams started roaring.

  • @cupotrout534
    @cupotrout534 Před rokem +8

    Great looking car. It must be the ITB's but they have a pretty unique sound. Long shots and chasing with the drone were excellent.

  • @ef7andapp170
    @ef7andapp170 Před rokem +3

    2:42 Sounds so good at the upper rev range. So good!

  • @calvinlee449
    @calvinlee449 Před rokem +7

    Great video. Yes, loved the asmr in the beginning. The transition from street to track around 02:30 was really cool. One of the top videos from your library/videos guys. Thanks for taking us along this adventure - was quite nostalgic. Love the vrooom vrooom!!! and the carbs... heh - again nostalgic. Love the look and yes, the recessed look of the front is great.

  • @joshpetika413
    @joshpetika413 Před rokem +1

    I can’t get over how much this sounds like a built B series. This thing sounds amazing!!

  • @N037O
    @N037O Před rokem +4

    I grew up in Puerto Rico and the sounds of Toyota Corollas with 3TC engines and Weber side draft carbs was really common in the 80s and 90s. Actually the 3TC was the engine swap of choice for old Datsun 210, Fastback Deluxe and Mitsubishis rebadged as Dodge like the Colt, Sapporo and Arrow.

  • @855glt
    @855glt Před rokem +3

    More drone footage chasing cars around the track through the grass, that was killer!!!

    Turned out great!! Few more Tweaks here and there and it wil be finished

  • @JoeDaFivefoota

    @johnearly973 Před rokem +3

  • @-tr0n

    @UntappedGarage Před rokem +1

    The first few minutes of this video make for the best ASMR on CZcams. What an incredible build. Thank you for documenting and sharing so much detail, the wins and losses, and invaluable information along the way. Looking forward to the day I see Connie in person.

  • @1stGenCRXs

    @antonyingram Před rokem +6

    Yesss, so happy for this vid. You guys always do great work but this is by far my favourite car on the channel, the car looks amazing and glad to get a full video of it in action, especially on track. It'll be absolute perfection with all the little bits and pieces fixed.

  • @kovacspis
    @kovacspis Před rokem +5

    It sounded a hell lot like DK Tsuchya's Hachiroku in the exterior sound clips! I loved the cinematic, no commentary, asmr intro too. Finally a track video after quite some time. ❤

    • @y.b.-
      @y.b.- Před rokem +1

      I thought the same exact thing, I was expecting a DK drift showdown at some point lol

    @greenboy1976 Před rokem +1

    Out of all of your builds this one is my favorite, not sure why, there is something about this car that is just right. Really enjoyed watching the process. Great car.

  • @ScatterBrainedX7
    @ScatterBrainedX7 Před rokem +1

    I could listen to this all day! I think a 200hp 3SGE would be perfect in my ST202 Celica but not sure how far I want to go with it yet. But that sound alone would make all costs justified.

  • @koltface
    @koltface Před rokem +3

    1" to 13/16" master is a massive change. If that didn't solve it I would suspect that the caliper pistons are just way too small. With everything else going on though, a new pedal box is probably going to be the best solution.

  • @mattteee2973
    @mattteee2973 Před rokem +3

    I think I've said this before and I understand you're at the mercy of short summers- but videos where the cars actually get out on track are so much better than endless builds.
    I'd happily watch long/unedited track sessions with just a bit of text about what the car was doing and feeling like, then some detail of any changes made between sessions.
    Maybe aim for builds only through winter, driving only through summer?

  • @38tech
    @38tech Před rokem +3

    One min in amd this is the best video you have ever put out. This is what has been missing from the builds. The passion and the experience that we dont get to appreciate just watching the build.
    Please, do this with every car.

  • @stephenshepherd5068
    @stephenshepherd5068 Před rokem +1

    Great series and a fantastic episode. I love the intro and honest assessment of the build. We rarely know how the cars really perform after builds on youtube, so it was great that you made this episode.

    @lolauup Před rokem

    Incredible car and team. Saw and heard the celica loud and clear at Gridlife in America.
    I was not able to find time off my work to ride along but i was able to hear it from my vendor truck. This video does it justice.
    And like i said dave, the editing really is so great and Peter I had no idea you were the one putting in the work. It shows.

  • @boboso4058

  • @chrisbutterfield8743

    Great video- epitomising the raison de etre for the car -drive to the track, enjoy it, drive home!
    Looks like it sits flat, revs cleanly and sounds the goods!
    A bit out of the scope of your usual builds, but so, so cool!
    Well done. Love to see it being enjoyed, serving as inspiration to finish what I have started for myself…
    Thanks for the story!
    Enjoy her!

  • @mpop259
    @mpop259 Před rokem

    This build I watched from end to end. Very sentimental for me actually, my dad used to rally in Tanzania in a 1977 Celica GT which he lifted and modified heavily for rough off road rallying.
    I always wondered what happened to it as I grew up. I wish he had kept it.

  • @Darkslide2AR-FE
    @Darkslide2AR-FE Před rokem +2

    Can't ask for a better intro, love the sound of a beams engine. Looking forward to the next car, I do love the 15 day build rather than a quick 2-3 day build.

  • @b3nny90
    @b3nny90 Před rokem +2

    Thank you for the cool little ASMR edit in the beginning. I was patiently waiting for that footage ever since i subscribed to you guys years ago while you were working on it with Moose in the old Garage. Having this car "done" and driving it must feel incredible Dave. Thank you for sharing your journey!

  • @jimw3799
    @jimw3799 Před rokem

    This was a trip down memory lane for me. I had a 76 model that was such a fun car... Certainly not a racer in its stock configuration, but those body lines just bring so many memories. Unfortunately, that car was totaled when a guy ran a red light and hit me in the side and knocked me into the oncoming lane and head on into a full size van. My only injury was my right hand was on the gear shift and slipped off and into the AC vent. Nice scar on top of my hand to remember that car. I got a 80 model as a replacement... nice car but not nearly the body as that 76.

    SA, what a intro! It's nice to see you guys flex the cinematic filming skills every once in a while. That Connie ripping down the front straight drone shot (4:13) is a tshirt, poster, or mouse pad photo if I ever saw one.

    Change the pivot point in the brake pedal. Carry it the fork in the booster closer to the pivot less leverage.. also your equalizer/ proportion valve was not designed for the upgrade... Finally.. check the engagement /gap between the master and booster rod

  • @VirtualGuth
    @VirtualGuth Před rokem

    Nicely done. This car has an incredibly clean look to it that so many other modified cars lack. I realize that many prefer the liftback version of this car, but I've always thought that the coupe configuration like this example looks the best with the 1st gen Celica's. By the time the 3rd gen cars came along my opinion had flipped. For a few years back in the 80's I drove a '77 Celica GT coupe so I tend to feel a bit sentimental on those rare occasions when I see a 1st gen Celica these days.
