Name something cooler than bucket freakin seats, we’ll wait… BUT are the real question is are they actually worth it? Well we shelled out all the pesos on eBay to find out so that you don’t have too.

You made it sound like something happened. Thank the car gods.

hehe
"you may have noticed we're not wearing seat belts..." *Hits throttle*
Zach looks like he's a bus driver with that steering wheel so high lol
For real, it's a shame the E36 doesn't have an adjustable column.
indeed, luckily he's pretty tall, would look stupid otherwise
@@DeanBKK some of them has them. had one in my coupé and convertible. now in my saloon I don't have that option.
I don’t get why they keep doing these seats.
#1 None of their cars are all that fast.
#2 much faster cars have nice luxury seats, like the BMW M5, one of my favorite seats.
Which leads me to
#3 why install these stuff seats on cars that aren’t pulling 0-60 times below 4 seconds,
Aren’t pulling lateral acceleration G’s any where close to the Porsche GT3.
So stay comfy in my opinion
Hahaha yeah he looks like a kid pretending to drive the car. It looks ridiculous. And overall will become burdensome on longer drives
They really bleeped out the word “cockpit” 🤣🤣🤣
Came here to say this
That part made me do a spit take
💀😂
Yup, they really censored cockpit..... Fucking crazy.
Donut has always done that. It’s kinda their thing. And it hilarious every single time.
This series makes Wednesday my favorite day of the week
Yesss
I'm completely agree
This and new episodes of Loki 😈
Along with Loki
yep
That steering wheel angle looks like it would drive me crazy
@@lvk104 e36's didn't have the telescopic lever to adjust?
No it’d just drive your car. It’d probably be really annoying tho
"Don't drive without seatbelts, kids."
"No. They're gonna do it-" LMAO
The question is are they gonna drive 🤔
I heard:
"Donut drive without seatbelts, kids..."
"If you're gonna do it, you should - " and the video ends right there lol.
Zach “sparcos are really good”
Also Zach “we have to drill holes into the sparco mount since the sparco seat won’t line up”
Fax just get good seats and cheap brackets.
@@eyoboyeegaming1187 aka Watch HiLow recap on seats
My sparcos didn't line up on my FC either.
@@abracing199 Brides would have fit your FC.
I just bought the Bimmerworld brackets. They have a lot more holes for adjustment freedom, but are much thicker as a trade off.
Best thing about wednesdays. Watching Jesus change car seats
🤣🤣
But in last weeks tire video he already had it all...
@@kapturingthekawarthas9946 is a miracle!!! 😂😂
Can't wait for Jesus to put that roll cage in next week.
At 2021 piece "Jesus and his buddy St. Peter shooting the breeze testing their BMW build."
protip: the e36 has color matched sound deadening glued to the floor, removing that can lose some weight
Edit: Also, it is flammable, so you do not want that in any track car.
I took 17lbs out of my foxbody road race build. Can't even imagine how much weight is in a 4 door BMW. my guess is close to 25lbs. Way easier than going on a diet 🤣
YES!
was thinking the same!
@@Hanks_Breaks weight reduction broooo
Super bitch to remove but it is a must
2:45 Zach: "Don't know if you guys are gonna be able to see these"
Nice Zach, nice
"Even though they're not the cheapest, they are really nice."
Isn't that the point?
I think that if you listen to the whole sentence/phrase, the "even though they're not the cheapest" part is more of an aside, like something you would put in brackets. I might be wrong though
Some things are kinda not worth their price, like a Razer face mask for example, stupidly expensive for what it is. Others are expensive but the quality and functionality make it worth.
yeah, they're nice not despite being pricy, but because being pricy
I bet they were either free from Sparco or ebay motors and either consciously or subconsciously Zach feels bad about how expensive they are.
@@kylegifford546 not telling if they're sponsored is a big nono
Can we have an update on the miata? Even if its like just a recap of all the things you've done to it (Mods, adjustments, etc.). It'll be nice to see that little miata again :)
Fax bro I'm planning on doing some of the same mods on my '93 LE Miata
another track day to test al the fixies it got, and just to discover it did worse and it need more job :v
It's still alive. Last seen in Nolan's squatted truck video as a prop.
Would really like to see one more track day out of it though since it didn't really get a satisfying conclusion (overheated).
no not yet lmao I want to see more about this car. I want to see it as well but I wouldn't want to waste an episode on looking at stuff we've already seen. This is just the start of this car.
the dozens of videos about the miata didnt disappear. you can go see it right now in fact
Love how they strip the entire car but leave the rear headrests
And the headliner 🤣
Zach: Don't break anything! It's all going up for sale on eBay

I love moneypit, but when is the new Hi Low car coming out?
What cars do you think they'll use
@@jovaniortiz8317 RX-7? Lancer Evo?
@@camogap7392 Now that you mentioned it, Rx 8's are pretty cheap
@@jovaniortiz8317 RX-8, nah it feels super stupid in my opinion, especially in that half 4 door configuration. They're better of with a Golf than an RX-8
@@camogap7392 Yeah you're right but I think the aftermarket is pretty good. A golf sounds possible, i would be ok with that
Zach “I am Pleased” Jobe (he is pleased by the way)
This is the way
90 seconds in “Didnt the title say seats..?”
Jobe: “So you’re probably wondering”
There was a rollcage in the last ep when they tested different tires
They probably don't show everything exactly in the order it was filmed, and I'm certain they did the roll cage before the desert run then.
Yeah the roll cage and the seats were done before
They don't post videos in order
Zach on previous episodes:
'i wanna keep a budget mindset with this build'
Zach now:
'These sparcos cost me $1750'
Racing seats are definitely one of the things you can't find cheap (authentic ones). And it's not something you wanna cheap out on.
Don't cheap out on safety my friend.
@@DeanBKK you don't need to spend nearly 2k tho, you can get a good pair that are FIA approved for half the price.
@@0ffinnsive to be fair he has the budget to do these things and it makes the videos more entertaining
It’s also a rally car. A good rally car is not cheap and most parts can get moved to the next car when it eventually gets totaled.
Last week I thought I missed an episode because of the all-of-a-sudden roll cage and other noticeable goodies that definitely weren’t there after the suspension upgrade.
I thought the same thing
haha yeah exactly
I was looking for this comment
"A wizard at welding, he's terrific at tubing" I love it
12:08 driving without seat belts made your partner visibly nervous lol
This man just spent close to my entire budget for a car on seats nice
Honestly. I spent 1200 on an 04 lancer es and didn't have any left over to do anything to it
My E36 was $2k and the seats are about the same price so I just bought one for now. The other will be later. It feels weird spending half the car’s value on a seat.
The $500 e46 (manual 328i) in my driveway laughs at your cost comparison. 2 seats for 4x the cost of the car!
Damn u guys are making me nervous about buying a first car I'm gonna be more broke than I thought
@@silas6236 it took me afew months after buying my lancer but I did slap some rims on it that were pretty much the price of what I paid for the car. Also used my leftover cash to change control arms and upper and lower tie rods plus new brakes
The only thing I look forward to every single week.
but its gonna end at a point
@@uzairalvi4148 then I'll stop watching when it does lol for now I'm tuning in every wednesday
@@uzairalvi4148 gotta enjoy it while it lasts
Absolutely love this series! Keep it up
This series is so high in production value, reminds me of watching all those car garage shows on Speed channel when I was little.
MAN THOSE WERE THE SHIT. The guy from muscle car garage has his own CZcams channel still doing the same thing. Think his name is Casey or something
When they bleeped out cockpit, I died. I dont know why i fount it so funny
It’s hilarious
The BEST series donut produces. Absolutely love Zach on the team
Loved it! Can't wait to see the progress
Great video donut this is my favorite series by far, love ya Zach!
Day 13 of asking for an Up to Speed on how Donut Media came to be
Up to speed on up to speed?🤔
Where's Day 11
The Day X of asking is so dumb man. No one cares about how long you’ve been asking for a thing. Make the request and move on. You’re not entitled to get the things you ask for. Asking for it every day is childish and asking for it once and reminding them that you’ve asked them dozens of times screams entitlement.
@@zero11010 Hater spotted
Like it's just a lighthearted request, chill out man
Day 6 of supporting Nathan Joseph
I was just watching the entire build of the Miata and then this notification popped up😂
Seeing the S14 getting dusty in the background makes me sad :(
fr 😔🤙
One day those silver wings will sail again
I know it’s not silver it’s some nerd shit.
My dude... I am really digging your series'. You do a great job of present the subject t matter in a relatable, and understandable, way.
Can we have a drag race special with money pit's and hilow's rides pleaseee?
Maybe after this Rally car bmw
HiLow cars are in a museum. It was on their subreddit.
Absolutely love these types of projects! I’m doing my first ever build now!
What car you got bubba?
Loving this build so far!
so happy you made this series with the e36! i got one for a drift missile last year so i wonder if any of these will help with installs. already did these but maybe the next videos 😏
I bought some Recaros once. Luckily they came with an Evo
i too bought some Recaros.... they came with my ST Focus and they are Blue to match the paint as well.
This guy knows and if he dont he doesnt act like he does thats what makes a good mechanic
what??
Last week when i saw the sparco seat i was sad bc we didnt get to watch the work done. Now donut has pleased my mind. Ty dount, very cool
Love love love Donut!!! My shirts should be coming today!❤️
I like mike, doesn’t talk very much and just does stuff
That's why he's not a host
@@Klipschrf35 Yeah donut definitely got the right ECS guy in Zach. Mike got all the personality of a wet rag
Does anyone else love the animation for money pit it’s pretty awesome
watching you do all this for the interior makes me really grateful that my leaky ass 3g eclipse is so damn easy to rip everything out of. Taking out the seats, carpet and center console takes like 30 minutes top.
You guys provide such a cool content!!!
Mike the day!! Nice collab 🙌 🙌
I love when Zach says “it is a BMW” then why did it have blinkers?
Love these videos Zach ! 🤟🏽❤️ very entertaining and fun way to learn

7:27 My favorite kind of mounting.
Just remember to do something about that ebrake
I don't own a car, in fact I've never driven a car in my life. Heck I can't even ride a bicycle. But Donut(especially this series) turned me into a car guy. I've known a lot about cars and car culture, the knowledge that is totally irrelevant to me. You people really earned a special place in my memory, thanks.
just wondering how do you commute
bro at least learn to ride a fuckin bike
@@abd4620 Any destination that takes under an hour on foot, I walk. That's how I go to office and back home 6 days a week. Anything further than that I take a bus or a taxi.
@@ericmarciniak3541 Maybe I will. It's just I used to game and read books during pre-teen and teenage years. I have very little experience when it comes to outdoor and socializing stuff. It's not like I'm introvert or something, I just shoot straight and people get intimidated by that I guess.
@@cyanoxile a daily walk is a good thing, may I ask you what city you live in
I like watching money pit because it’s like the middle version of high low and it’s also cool to watch you guys take almost the same car as me and make a rally build whilst I build a drift car
I really love the way you are. Keep up the good vibes 🙌🏼

Literally crying for about an hour now, heared my phone vibrate and see the Donut Media just uploaded, instant smile. I wish I could watch more everyday.
Maybe you just need to be heavily medicated, my doodie 😎🤙🏼
I love this rally money pit series
I have the same exact car and now you got me thinking about putting some of those seats in it they look good
5:45 did you guys really have to censor cockpit 😂
can we talk about how the wheel doesn’t ding when attaching it💔
I guess this concludes my week. Thanks Zach and DM
I recently made brackets for recaro CS sportster seats in my e46 daily. I used 5mm thick steel plate and 12.9 grade steel hardware. I adapted universal twin lock slider's which I widened by 4 inches and then widened the slider release handle to fit. Then used the oem recaro backers (seats were from a megane rs) which I then cut and welded and modded to fit into the aftermarket sliders. It was a hell of a job. But I got them exactly how I wanted them. I then upholstered the slider handles to match the seat upholstery. Painted the brackets black and 3d printed some spike caps to cover any exposed hardware. I must say though the work really paid off as my car now feels like it's more suited to me. It looks miles better and more modern. Granted not the track focus as in the video but just because you're not on track dosent mean u can have nice looking, comfortable and safe seating. An often overlooked area of modified street cars
Wheres the new money pit? 👀
$1750 and the hardware doesn’t line up. Solid
Yeah all made by the same expensive brand and they don't fit together??? what the fuck are you paying for exactly
@@Yom_Bristol for real, I could understand if it was some one-off random car. Or eBay brackets. But cmon lol
Yom Bristol like everything these days .... paying for the name and that flexxxxxx
Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one having so much trouble with aftermarket seats. They were so frustrating to put in. Definitely worth it though.
“A wizard at welding and terrific with tubing” wow Zach that’s some amazing alliteration
"Always good to disconnect your battery before playing with these bombs" - then immediately turns it round to point the danger end at his face!
Any one else remember when zach worked out of him and his roommates drive way
Didn’t know zack worked at ECS tuning. They are a main e36 site I look at when needing parts. No wonder this guy is so knowledgeable
Build videos in the Donut fashion are fantastic. MOAR BUILD VIDEOS!!
Also obligatory, Jobe is so dreamy.
When is the next episode?
Day 391 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
Keep er goin
They should do it for 6mil
I rarely watch Donut Media, bit when I do, it's every Wednesday when Money Pit comes out. I also used to watch Hi Car vs Low Car and I would like to see that series make a come back
Best donut series out there hands down. 🤘🏻
Sweeeeet seats BRO. This car is gonna be a off-road drifter that can tear up anything.. Can wait to see the fin product..

Money pit is the only reason i watch donut. Every1 should do their own money pit build.
Wasn't the roll cage installed last episode? (Wheels and tires) Or was I imagining things? Hmmm.
No you're right. The seats and rollcage were there last week. I bet they filmed the test for the wheels after they filmed this episode.
@@nooberp4020 yeah that's what I was thinking too. Just made me scratch my noggin a little bit
I think this was recorded before last week's video. For some reason this was updated later
“Safety mods” takes away the steering wheel air bag.
It doesnt makes sense to have a 5 point harness with airbags, cause the harness will keep you from moving.
The airbag would deploy but do nothing.
@@subarusensei3685 A 5 point harness without a hans device is just as pointless
@@Xiltix25 I was talking about airbag mix with keeping you in, but of course you need a helmet with a hans
Saw Mike at gridlife midwest in that amazing volks!!! He was super friendly and humble :)
Mike is an artist when it comes to building cars. His VW GTI that was featured on Hoonigan Autofocus is amazing. And his Unimog is even better. Dude is a G when it comes to fabrication.
I got my first car yesterday!! A brand new audi A1 sport black edition!!!! 1 litre turbo but it goes like hell!!!! Project car is in the pipleline. Got an e100 corolla on our street in desperate need of tlc and im the guy for the job. Awesome content. Keep it up guys!
Congrats bro hope it treats you well for years to come dude
@@mercury0214 thanks bro
I don't know what's more impressive, the build itself or Zachs ability to make it look so easy. I'm jealous!
The biggest issue I have with the e36 platform is the steering wheel position. It's way too high for the way I like to drive but it's not bad enough that it makes me not want to drive the car. A quick tip about if you ever need to take that steering hub off, get yourself an 8in pulley remover, it makes like 1000x easier when adjusting.
This series is the best video series on Donut... but Donut has the best car series' on CZcams. Keep up the good work gentlemen
Watched this while changing my Dad's sn95 rear brakes. Got new vented rotors. 😁
Used the same universal brackets for my jeep Tj, wound up grinding and welding instead lol
love the ole head rests are chillin back there
I’m glad they decided to do a rally build on Money Pit since they are doing trucks for Hi Lo. I wanted either a rally build off or trucks, now we get the best of both worlds 🥲
Hi low with trucks isn’t hi/low prices, but hi/low trucks. One is jacked up and the other slammed.
Bruu, I LOVE the new intro👌👌👌
If that e36 didnt come with a tilt steering column, you can add a couple spacers where the whole column bolts up. you may have to use longer bolts. I had a 318i that had no tilt and thats how I lowered the column a few inches so it didnt feel like driving a school bus.
This build is gonna be so sweet
Always nice to see people learn from their mistakes
