I really like the shots of Coby and Mark watching each session and talking to each other as it goes on!
its like those mic'd up in NBA hehe
@@hungryalien Except this is WAY cooler than NBA, NFL, Football leagues, baseball etc etc. I'd say it's more on PAR with Golf 😉
Mark is questioning his life choices 😂
LOL, wouldn't you be? LOL
Living the dream. Hes not there for free
Well, I do think it’s quite a cool work environment. At least based on what we are seeing.
Sure, sometimes it’s hard… sometimes he has to put a new roof onto a WRX, but he looks like he is having a lot of fun otherwise! ^^
dude worked the army. anything must be better than that, the rest looks to me like pure work discipline
Best series on youtube. The ups and downs of racing, letting us live vicariously through ya'll.
You guys have truly mastered event filming in a way no one else quite can.
What about eletor 1point3
LSD v's Open diff has been tried here in the UK on the Mk3 MR2 and the lap time differences are significant.... like 4 or 5 seconds on a 2 minute lap circuit. Cornering stability especially on the exit is greatly improved, with the open diff even on the 2ZZ engine you can't put the torque down, on the 2AR swap it would just be silly to drive it on an open diff.
Dang guys!! You broke BOTH cars?!! Hopefully you’ll bounce back quickly 😢
Yea ...those CV joints are being asked a lot of in those door-to-door races guys. We strip, clean and rebuild our axles for club circuit racing every other race event(about 4~5 hours of track time; practice, quali, and 3 races) and use Redline CV-2 grease. Good luck next time!
The way that civic came around the corner at 4:00 good god 🔥🔥🔥
Dorifto!
That was so sick
3:55 They changed something in the video
and again at 5:18
What's wild is, when the MR-S gets sorted, Ben is prolly gonna fly in that thing. He's going over a "mini-Initial Drift plotline" with this thing.
yeah, he is literally driving a car at 60% where mr2 is unstable and snappy, but if he would go to at leaast 85% of big D energy (funny reference xD) the mr2 will show that there are no limits for the spyder if the driver is prepared. And let me be honest. Tall Ben is prepared AF after driving this thing in this crazy setup :D
I'm just hoping he stays patient with it - I think it'll be a little beast once even 60/70% sorted
Are upgraded axles allowed in your classes? Also, we need to get these boys sponsored by ignite and get them some drums of E85 or E90 to have with them.
There's a checklist on the website , I forgot what but,🤷
with all the mods there allowed to do it would be kind of dumb to limit a reliability upgrade but thare both running engine swaps so they would kinda already need to be allowed to upgraded them to run a swap. but im just gessing here
His car is lower so off the shelf axels will always have issues. It's trying to find the right size axel that will take time.
Upgraded axles are open and allowed in gltc
You guys really need to relax and have fun a bit! You remind me of when I started driving, I was so hot tempered and if anything went wrong I made sure everyone, including myself knew it wasn’t my fault. There’s literally no reason to do this and a thousand reasons not to. Complaining is bad for focus, the team, the viewers, the sponsors, etc. The second you get in that seat your job is no longer mechanic, CZcamsr, host, or engineer - it’s driver. Just driver. Drive the car, as is, to the best of your abilities. Communicate what the car is doing, but don’t waste brain power on diagnosing.
Your coach is right and is being really nice about it. I would be holding you by the helmet and shaking you 😂
I love seeing you guys develop and grow, so keep it up.
Exactly. Once the flag drops the application of your race craft is the only thing you can control.
Great advice 👍
I just want to say as a professional videographer/photographer and life-long car enthusiast, I absolutely love your videos. High production value, good storytelling, and great characters. This is beyond the quality of what you even see on TV (in my opinion) and feel more like a netflix or prime series. Great shit guys!
I must say this as been 1 of the most exciting episodes lol. I so want that MR2 to succeed...Cody Cody Cody, you the man bro!! My saturday has been mad. THANK YOU
I’ve had that happen on my MR2S also after I installed suspension and messed with the geometry. Went through three axles. What I ended up doing is throwing in a celica axle since they’re a little longer and has been running good ever since
I love the positivity between the team the whole time, especially the comment for Mark… “Then what’s the rush? There is no rush, the man’s just a superstar!” Just keep pushing, you’ll get ‘em!
Coby with the solid suggestions and coaching. Love that. And Mark is a godsend for you guys.
Gears & Gasoline: Ben by Ben, Axle by Axle!!
Keep it up team. It’s all part of the process.
Loving this real racing content, Ben Lin keep at it, I hope you know how many people are cheering for you.
Did I just see a fwd Civic perfectly drifting at the beginning of the video???!!!!
That shit looked fun as hell regardless of the result
That MR2 desperately needs a wing and front aero to balance it.
Thats what im saying Techno Spirits MRS runs the perfect balance for that car
That comes with a huge weight penalty in GLTC racing though, the rules punish you for having aero
It's not the aero so much as the weight balance. Rear is just too heavy with the engine swap.
@@zerohikari2685 Untrue, the swap doesn't add significant weight and they run a lot of ballast in the centre of the car. In the passenger footwell. It's just an issue of the car being mid-engined and having a short wheelbase. It is naturally unstable and the best way to fix this at high speed is with aero. The only downside is that the class rules punish aero users
@@ericsson_motorsports MRS doesn't have a short wheel base and the 2AR is significantly heavier and taller than the ZZ. The ballest is empty as you can see in the videos and they even documented it handled better with it because of weight balance with the ballest. All these issues with MRS balance have been documented for YEARS. You're just another guy that doesn't know anything about MR2s posting BS.
Fellas, I trained Soldiers for 12 years or so. The activities are different but the principle mind set is the same. Dump everything you have no use for in your head. Focus on your win for days on end sit and visualize your race. Tunnel your focus into positive performance. The corner you have trouble on, close your eyes and see yourself nail it perfect.
It feels silly at first but your mind will go where it's been. It will put you where you put yourself in the day dream. You will instantly know what's happening, you'll know the outcome. It's silly but this is a very solo thing to embrace.
What I know for a fact is that no matter what it is your thinking of. The thoughts that occupy your mind the most, is exactly what you become. Scared the police are going to pull you over for your new stancy boy jetta? There they were. It's a sword that cuts both ways, you understand. It's very easy to tunnel negativity, we're hard wired for it. That's why everything looses it's luster after some time. You start noticing the scratch here, little chip there. Force yourself for 5 min before you go to sleep to think about how good tomorrow will be. It's important to do this before you sleep, because that's when your brain is doing all the "programming" for the next day.
Enjoy your hard work and enjoy what you do. Find the humor in your sometimes unfortunate life events. You're fantastic both of you, Luke too. Boys just dream a little bit and believe it. You'll be amazed. Promise.
These guys are getting there. Enjoy these journey toward becoming legends.
"DO BETTER" 😅😅.... That is verbatim what my gf yells at me when I'm sucking at putt-putt or other menial activities.
Your entire team is the best. The way y'all talk each other up and push the others is great. You guys got this. What a journey this will be to tell at the end (a long long way off).
I will be along for the ride EVERY step of the way!!
Best camera shots on CZcams! G&G rocks!
Loving this vid so far! Perfect balance of on-track and off-track focus
You guys are an amazing team. Seeing you celebrate, motivate and congratulate each other is very wholesome. Keep it up! :)
Love this. You guys did your best. I can't wait to see the improvements and the progress. This is shot like a movie, the production and quality is unmatched.
Man, I love these videos! Your film crew is top notch.
3:55 my dude really went tokyo drift in a friggin civic lmao
Love these. Living vicariously through you guys. Keep up the good work!!!
Ben i think why the Evo was an instant gratification was because there was a recipe already it was almost like copy and paste, adding better quality parts and some fine tuning it was a rocket ship but with the Toyota MR2 its like you trying to figure out what flavour you want the MR2 to be. You’ll get there, you’ll eventually figure out what the MR2 needs to go fast. I reckon better diff and some rear downforce will shoot you out those corners.
Love the content btw!!!
Cheers 🍻
In City Racer, an online racing game that has been in service for 20 years in Korea, many users say they wish the Toyota MR2 model would be released.
Great episode guys!
I really enjoyed watching this. Good luck next race! Way to show what it's like racing Gridlife. Looks like an emotional rollercoaster 🎢
Love the editing and music. I look forward to the next epiosde/adventure! Good luck in the next race!
Love this racing content! Top quality !
I love watching you guys! Keep it up. 🎉
Watching you fellas go from goofy kids to damn fine young men on here has been given me hope for the younger generation of car enthusiast....THANK YOU GUYS...AND KEEP KICKING ASS!!🙏🇺🇲👍💯
This series is absolutely brilliant so far, great stuff!
Great video guys and keep up the hard work!!!
another great episode! awesome editing and scoring on this one!
Lotta great cars in these races, can’t wait to see more!
Your films are so captivating! Emotional!
Great video!
What an exciting race. 👍🏻
Nothing better than those flying civic drifts, love it.
The most serious gears and gasoline episode ever, emotional roller coaster. Love every second of it.
3:56 that was nice
thanks again for the update guy.
So fun racing with you and the other GLTC cars at Lime Rock. We would've been close the whole weekend if it wasn't for that axle.
Whoever is behind the camera work and slow mo needs a raise. Killing it. 🔥 Loving the series, drama and all. Good work all round to the team at Gears n Gasoline.
The video and editing was very well put together..well done
Really great episode! Bummer about the axles. Coby gave some good advice and was a nice balance to the frustation you guys were feeling.
great show
You could put the whole GLTC era into one film some day. Races, improvements, track side fixes, etc… It would be really similar to Ford v Ferrari based on what I am seeing at this moment. That would be so unbelievably cool!
Love the continuation of the track suit, drinks in despair scene from last Lime Rock track day. except Thorn was there to join him this time 😂
Shoutout to my Westchester county ppl @6:20 😂 shell with e85 right down the rd from me in Greenwich i love it!
Great race you guys y'all both may have broken axles in today's race but y'all both made off the track safe and sound.
This video format was great.
What a fantastic series 🔥 you guys are improving and soon will be on top of GLTC 💪
I think you guys should invest in tire warmers.Especialy for that civic,wince rear tires are cold until 3rd lap
Gotta be my favorite YT channel ever. Keep the racing content coming!
3:55 That was legit!!
I'm rooting for you guys on the next race!!!!
These race episodes are great.
Had to check my URL bar.....no, Im not on Netflix.....
But your content should!
Thank you for the entertainment, this will be shared with all of my friends
3:55 this goes so hard for some reason lol
3:55 that power slide wild
May have been a bummer on the weekend for you both, but this may be one of your best done racing videos yet. Supremely enjoyable to watch! Hopefully the cars get sorted out for the next one.
loved the mr2-Civic-Miata battle-carousel thing, MR, FF and FR all tight and fighting, noiiiice
This video was so well produced, actually had me on like the edge of my seat and I’m legitimately excited for improvements on the MR2
Short Ben: "Can't wait for the big one" #thatswhatshesaid
This looks like a fantastic series, wish I could go racing.
I want to put how slow Ben's MRS is in perspective.
An NB NASA Spec Miata with a stock 1.8L running a restrictor plate with no aero ran 1:03.4 this year. A car that has maybe 120whp at best.
The issue has never been power, it has been balance and while Ben is commited to the 2AR the car will never have that.
I was really sad to see the cars break down, but I'm happy I got to see them in action, in-person! I really wish you guys the best next year, and I hope you can defeat the curse and enjoy the track and its beauty.
Man another killer video
That was an awesome video! Thanks for uploading fellas. Sucks that both cars broke an axle 😞
Saw you guys trucking west down i40 through the pandhandle of Texas for a split second. Crazy how recognizable the mr2 liverie is.
Would love to see more track sessions like these Bens
Bring the roadtrips back!
All this experience racing an undrivable car is gonna make Ben Lin an absolute monster to deal with the moment the MR2 is competitive
YES Josh.
YES YES YES YES YES
Breaking axles - FWD life! Better drivetrain fuse than a diff or transmission though...
Ben thorn being a real drama Queen this ep. Raw.
"my ex got me this track suit" 😂😂😂 love it brotha! Keep up the great work!!!
This one was great
Loving the series. I have a Spyder with a LSD put that Toyota had in the later series Spyders I can now take corners much more confidently. Probably repeating what’s already known but I want to see that Civic beat by the Spyder so bad.
I used to have one of those Celica's and the rear did the same thing on mine under brakes XD
3:54 ayoo tht was too fckn dope
Cody is such a positive and motivitional dude. Great guy to have around you
I am still amazed by Ben Lin driving a 2AR MR2 with open diff.
Can't wait to see the next race in California!
The Big One!
lol when thorn broke his first axle I thought right away "should probably do the other side too" hind sight man that hind sight really gets ya.
Well the MR-2 looks faster with the new wrap. 😂 But seriously you guys keep me hooked every weekend with these videos. Keep them coming. 😃😃
Love me some Coby. Another tragic but great video GG. The shot at 18:21 is so funny, just a lonely Civic in a sea of S2000's.
3:58 dang that’s definitely a poster
The production quality of these videos is next level
Terrible luck, enjoyable video to watch :) exciting racing, yall are definetly stronger than in previous videos
this was a banger episode
best part of any g&g video is the chapter names
