    I've been watching you guys since before I could drive, so 14-15 years? I turn 30 in a few months. I don't know if this message will get seen but thanks for all the videos and happiness you bring to everyone, the few times I've felt down I've always found watching your videos has helped me. You helped me discover my love for cars all those years ago and i found my best friends through that passion.
    I live in the UK and pick up my Volkwagen up! GTI on Friday and your videos helped me decide it was time to get a smaller, less silly car. Thanks for everything and I can't wait to see your next video.

    • @chrisdef15

      @VoidedEyelids Před 2 měsíci

      @UwU-pk6nv it definitely has a community that butchers the cars but back roads or mountains very fun cars
      But if i were to spend 50+ thousand including the car the those would be my choices i through in the AWD eclipse cause that'd save me money where as converting a civic to AWD is very expensive
      Now to say i couldn't do that to a na/miata for less and reliability plus the 4 cylinder supra engine bay space for conversions
      Mind you I'm 6'2" and anything to low is painful to get in out of.
      Now i wouldn't go to the extent that ginguim did with his miata on lifting it but I'd do something similar on awd conversion Subaru chassis and drivetrain but I'd add a b20 honda motor or a small v6 no boost and it'd be hella fun and be able to handle snow with breeze
      For me the most overrated car is the Toyota corolla

    • @chrisdef15
      @chrisdef15 Před 2 měsíci

I used this method on old 80's Saab 900 turbos like WaSaabi and it worked well. They have a similar but slightly larger intercooler. Im currently building a track car and that has a big 12" high volume fan on the intercooler with water spray also. Max cooling !.

    22:50 I'll add to that, one good piece of kit for easy soldering wires on cars are those shrink wraps with bit of solder in the middle. Personally I don't own a portable soldering iron and those have been working great for all the wires that have had the need for proper joining.
    Twisting is good for testing a thing, but it shouldn't be a permanent solution.

    I was wondering if the ghost would ever show again, then he/she moved the chair to help out with the build. love the show gents.

    That jam session rocked. That intercooler sounds great. I can never keep mine in tune.

    What a fun adventure. Also liking how you have things that randomly start and stop moving in the background! 🤣
