For pete's sake watch til the end
Awesome!!!!
No I shall only watch till 16:17
oooh yesss 2 rx7s
kx7 vs rx7
You bought Pete's FD!
So are we looking at an RX7 rotary build and when it’s done, a Crosscountry Roadtrip with the K swapped Rx7 and Tall Ben’s Rx7?
Exactly my thoughts. I'm sure this is happening, at least, I hope it's happening!!!
this must happen
The road trip will be to see who breaks down less lol
@@OwenBuckingham11 lol i think we already know the answer to that one
He should of got an FC so they can pretend there in initial d lol
"so sir who would you like to have a photoshoot with"
"my tires"
"excuse me what"
And a brake caliper😭😂
@@mbirdie12 especially the brake caliper
The engagement and birth style photo shoots were brilliant. You made me actually laugh out loud.
Was just coming here to say the exact same thing. I was laughing so hard my face hurts. But I needed the laugh. 🤣
Same LOL
My wife : what the hell are you even watching
@@blueleaf04 I'm crying hahahahaha
+1 Hilarious, and also high quality pics at the same time :D
The moment he started it, before entering the frame, it had the distinct rotary sound.
So recognizable
i noticed that too
Yep. Very distinct. It always sounds like a rotary has no compression on startup.
Nothing I could do dood I was holding blahk
@@guidosaur7506 Here we ago, another morahn in the chat. Dumb kids don't know how real life works. ACK ACK ACK ACK
Gears and gasoline: I sold my 350z
Everyone: What 350z?
I forgot about it completely 😂
@@TheDonkDonk420 yeah me too....lmao!
Same I literally forgot he got a 350Z
yeah, last one about it was months ago lol totally forgot it
Honestly, I forgot about it! 😂
Another FD..... Hey, I've seen this before.
@@bugi4128 dude actually look at it. That is 100% and an FD
@@dustybot3274 yeah I didn't noticed the first time I already wrote this I played it again to listen to that dorito sound and forgot to delete
What do you mean you've seen it?
It's brand new!
If it's also getting a K-swap I'm throwing my laptop.
Pls no
#DoritoPower
Nah its getting a real swap next weekend.......4g63!!!
Obviously they are not doing two of the same... Two of the same chassis, different engines, whole lot of content comparing them
VQ35HR swap
I like that the end isn't much of a cliffhanger!
Simply put, You know we're all super excited for it!
Honestly, I'd rather have seen him pick up anything else. Other Ben already has one that is coming together. Would have been nice to see a more contrasting vehicle.
Tall Ben: Skip to 14:42
Me: *"AND MISS THE ENGAGEMENT AND BABY PHOTOSHOOT!? WHAT KIND OF FAN DO YOU TAKE ME FOR!?"*
You guys need to make another video with automotive aesthetics 🔥🔥those detailing videos were legendary 👍
Girls: *Dating your crush is the most romantic thing ever*
Boys: 4:50
That story arc got me in the first half not gonna lie. The marriage and birth of the z and her components got me feeling some kind of way when they were gone. 😭
12:15 homie is rocking the f1 car
You started the car and I was like oh my God its an RX7
3:37 my boy rocking with the Krispy Media Merch
Okay, I haven't even started watching the video, but I can tell you this: no matter what happens, this car will always be close to your heart. That's just facts. Don't try and go one upping yourself and this car because you'll find some major stress in doing that.
Whatever car you're getting next, just build it for fun, don't try and one up your previous car.
WATCH TILL THE END OF THE VIDEO. HE GOT AN RX7
@@EmilioE36 yo spoiler alert
6:18 I legit thought that the top gear theme tune was starting
I like how he never gets in trouble, even though your supposed to have license plates on both the front and the back in VA
I know i bought a car in North Carolina and in the week I was waiting for the front plate bracket I got pulled over twice
I actually live not too far from where G&G are from. The police around here don't really care all that much. I've had no front plates on my Miata for 4+ years now and have never been pulled over 🤷♂️
I live in the same town as them and haven't had a front plate for two years. So far, so good.
@@L8rApex you're about an hour and a half east of me if you live in their town 😁
Ben I'm pretty sure a car with so much grip you can just hold the throttle down without worrying about spinning wouldn't teach you nearly as much as a car where you had to balance the grip and power.
i was so sad but the thing at the end made my day
The photoshoot was amazing
Okay round two with the calipers killed me 😂
Plot twist: Cassie killed himself after the photoshoot.
So romantic
4:13 I guess that 5000-miles torture session finally got to Tall Ben. F
Everyone at the end:
*hears start up*
Everyone: oh god.
Lol.
Oh Neptune
The tires, they’re beautiful
I would have liked to see you continue to learn with the Z. Friendly tip, if you want to learn to control the balance of a car do it at a safer limit with a tire that isn't more aggressive than 200tw. Something like an RS4 or Z3 would have been a better learning tire. I only say this because I made the exact same mistake myself.
Actually a BIG fan of these cinematic style episodes, the music, the lightning & camera angles... THIS is precisely what separates this channel from the other car/racing ones. Beautiful work 👌🏼
The quality of this video is like a perfect cook steak pleasing to the eye you could Even smell it and taste the car wow that was a joy to watch I to have sold my Z recently due to having a baby and I am looking for an Evo 10 for myself keep up the good work guys
I understand the love for wheels, tires, brakes & other handling mods - they are the one upgrade guaranteed to improve your lap times at a track that don't negatively impact reliability like a power mod will.
Whoever hates on the Nissan VQ sound, never grew up playing need for speed underground 2!
That sound is legendary
Very sad to see the hard work gone, but I’m extremely excited to see more of y’all Ben on the channel, I’ve been missing him!
Wow. Two years ago already? I remember watching this video when it first came out, and remember first hearing the startup at the end of the video and thinking "wait a minute, that kinda sounds like a rotary???" before it even showed on the screen. Amazing how far you guys have come!
AHA! I knew it! You guys got me emotional with this one, with a storyline like watching your kid grow up then leave for college, but now you have your empty-nester project. A truly satisfying end - but more so a brand new start.
The 350z is one of the few cars that looks so right with stock rims. They're so basic and simple but compliment the car almost better than aftermarket wheels
That was so awesome! Thank you for the subtle tongue and cheek montages. Well done. Looking forward to the trials and tests of your new project.
I can hear short Ben now: “really? 🤷♂️” 😂
WOW what an ending to a video. did NOT expect that, I thought I was going to have to wait another week. The way your camera was set up and how the shot was taken out of focus made me so much more hyped for it. It was like seeing a post credit scene at a marvel movie.
this video makes me realize life is so beautiful
I owned a Z33 at one point in time, I feel bad I got rid of it, but it's all up-hill from there.. Plenty different options to get into.. I'm sure the content coming on your next project will be on point, can't wait to see what's next! :D
Quote from girlfriend about engagement shoot: “Don’t even think about asking.” 😂😂😂
Love the stock sound of the 350z
imma need an hour long version of that powder coating scene
Amazing photos. Truly amazing. You've portrayed how it feels to get car parts you're excited for so perfectly.
From engagement, to divorce. I must give respect for that massive decision! (just kidding, I love the content and I would miss the 350z too if I were to own it.)
Better love story than the Twilight Saga.
Your face at 3:26 says it all. A car that doesn’t make you smile just isn’t worth keeping
When you talked about upsetting the Z crowd by comparing it to a Miata because it's not *fast*, you went on to mention how big tires and good brakes made it a seat time car, where WOT became default.
Humorous thought: these changes actually made it EVEN MORE like a Miata. In the best way.
That Focus ST always still around
The end gave me the chills
HANDS DOWN! The best CZcams channel for automotive enthusiast!
I feel your love for wheels, brakes and tyres 👌😂😂
This video got every car guy in the heart and the photo shoots.
The music at 4:08 is just perfect
Short Ben: Rx7 K Swapped
Tall Ben: Rx7 Evo Swapped
😂
* RX7 4G63T swapped
g&g : "This video will be sad or depressing"
Me : IGHT IMMA HEAD OUT
I actually haven't gone through that many emotions in a car video in a while. Deserves more than just a like. 👍🏼
What a turn at the end! I’m excited!
I would have killed to buy that Z. It's the exact car, with the exact build, for the exact track that I want and it could have stayed in town.
Watching you guys, doing it so passionate makes me reconsider a lot about the things I do, i wish you nothing but the best coz you deserve it.
Absolutely ecstatic for this new series.
Nice rx7 at the end
Never thought a G&G video could give me such a roller coaster of emotion..... I was so genuinely joyful when i heard the rotary braps :)))))))
Lol big respect to Cassie's work. Ya'll crazy
Cassie is a baller.
Always nice to see people grow up and get rid of a VQ, then he goes rotary.....
I love how seamless the build transitions are! Very well done video, keep it up!
The Ben's and their RX7's. Match made in rotary heaven
I am glad it was not all sad. On to the next project with new experience.
Was that Ben’s rx7 k20 turbo swap or is that the next build🥵
That was a 13b sound at the end, Not a K series!
That is Tall Ben's FD and that sound is rotary..
rotary rx7 !!
The obligatory baby brakes against bare chest pictures...gotta love it LOL
complete work of art ben, bravo
I haven’t been here long enough to know that Z even existed.
2JZ Swap the 7🙏!!!
Love the video
Quiet hilarious 👍
LMAO at the combo of music & photo shoot. Brilliant.
The grin on my face when I hear the sound of the starter of my own car! Cant wait to see your take on a proper rotary FD !
Another FD build to make me wish i had the money for one! Can't wait guys!
Those guys at automotive aesthetic sure are something. Working magic as always!
The engagement and newborn photos 😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA those photos shoots ... AWESOME!
Repping the Speed Academy boys. Solid crew on both sides.
This is the best video you guys have done. Love the photoshoots
did anyone else get goosebumps at the end or just me...
DUDE YES THE WAIT TILL THE END WAS WORTH LETS GO
Production quality is on point! 👍🏻
I am SO excited! I was excited when Ben got the FD. Now Tall Ben has an FD too!!
loved the photo shoot bits and the Italian opera soundtrack.
AYOOOOO. phenomenally done. No complaints with another FD series.
Enjoyed this video a lot more than I expected. Love the photo shoots lol
Love this video guys! Awesome production! Cant wait for your the build series Ben!
painting over that beautiful red caliper with aqua blue was an....interesting choice...
Oh snap! Now there’s 2 fd’s
Oh damn, I love both Bens characters in reference of automotive enthusiasm. Awesome Video. Carculture ftw.
There is so much gold in this video!
Damn thats amazing, another FD rx7, i had to go back and watch short bens video n see if its tge same car n its not, short bens FD had a red on the front left n this didnt and that engine sounds rotary. I cant wait
Very original. Had me crackin up with the photography 😂!
I feel like the main difference between the Bens is that one is a car guy who also happens to be a filmmaker, and the other is a filmmaker who also happens to be a car guy. They both add their own unique voice to the channel and the results speak for themselves.
Yaaaassssss!!!! RIP to the seat time Z she’s missed.
I mean the music is really what made the video come together
Damn... The amount of effort 👏👏👏
This video bums me out so bad, I have a 2005 350z and was excited to see the progress for this. I'm excited to see what's to come, but I was really excited for the Z.
Absolutely amazing build up! I laughed, I cried, and then when I heard the turn key and rev, I SCREAMED! I cannot wait to see the face off between the two cars if that will be the eventual goal. Even the same base color!
