- Since we removed the door panels and the car door handles I needed a way to open the doors on the endurance car. So in this video I show you how to install DIY door pulls with some steel cable so you can open the door and get out of the race car quickly!
Keychain being there makes a good merch plug though xD
True, I didnt even think of that. You can actually finally get ChrisFix keychains: www.bunkerbranding.com/pages/chrisfix
@@chrisfix W!
You just got merch linked kid
What wheels are those?
@@chrisfix wait actually?!?
Just a quick video for some work I am doing to prep the endurance car for the next race! The next long DIY video is "how to install a quick release steering wheel" and it will be out soon!!!
Can’t wait to see your next video because you definitely make some of the most engaging long videos ever! I would never say no to a 30 minute ChrisFix video because it is pretty much worth it! You are definitely number one!
Can't wait for more of your videos! Particularly the fire suppression system which I will be installing in my race car pretty soon. Going to buy it from Stable Energies shortly, maybe right after your video if it comes out soon enough
Looking forward to it
@@thatrandomkid9313 storage when Covid happened and then I started working on the BMW and only have so much manpower.
Ever had to change your door handle on the Mazda? The thing is riveted in. Six hours & 4 drills later, finally got it off... only to have it break off 4 more times n less than two years. Think I’ll just remove the panel & give this a shot.
Chris will Fix any problems of cars.......
he is one of the best intown.....So Talented.....
That's why he is "chrisfix"......thanks Chris....
take good care ....all the BEST!
You got this car weighing like 5lb now, gonna have to start adding some weight soon 😭😂😂😂

Thanks Danny!
@@chrisfix your welcome!
this guy is the reason i’m starting my own business doing what i love and staying out of trouble and in the right path towards success in life
How's McDonald's?
This is a no none sense channel that gets to the point. Awesome!
That has always been my goal! Teach people as simply and quickly as possible.
It doesn’t matter where you post it. Your like the Field of Dreams of the You Tube/Instagram world. “If you film it we will watch”. Your the best.
Thanks Dan!
"For your race car"
Have I missed the "free race car" day at the mall again?
thanks for all the years of teaching us these things They have helped me a lot
Cool seeing you talk about being prepared for fire.
I would suggest adding a unique pull easily identifiable by feel, just in case the interior is suddenly filled with smoke. I prefer a sphere on the cable. It doesn't really get snagged on anything, there's no other spheres around to get it confused with, and even through gloves, you can tell when you've found the right shape in an emergency.
Drill holes in a hard "squash ball", feed the cable through and continue exactly as described here in your vid.
Thanks a lot and good idea!
@@chrisfix he buddy.
Check out Scott Manleys recent video about the "green apple".
It seems my instincts for a design that works well in an emergency were being used years ago, on space suits! LOL
So many seemingly small details-makes you appreciate all of the work that goes into making race cars safe.
Thanks! You dont realize all the work that goes into it until you do it yourself!
I've been watching your videos for years and I love your work so much Chris, keep it up
Hey Chris , we are doing a old Volkswagen Santana (2003 version ) rebuild project, now we are stucked with replacing clutch plate as we have no idea how to remove the front part( between catalyst and exhaust manifold) , We know we are rookies, but we really like DIY cars , it would be so grateful if we could just take a little of your precious time to help us on this . Thank you
You should add a metal wire like that inside the key chain so you could use it as a door pull that way it’s safe even if it catches fire and disintegrates
Would cost a lot of money to make but cool idea!
Awesome man, thanks for uploading! God bless you!
FINALLY HE POSTS
You should add a metal wire around the edge of the fabric (inside the stitches) so if it does burn up all that remains is the wire and you can still have a sick looking door pull without the extra clutter
I like how you put heatshrink on ends to prevent you from cutting while having massive metal doors with sharp edges without any door trim ..;D
Most reliable BMW handle ever!
Haha it has to be!!!!
It’s been so long Chris glad you upgrading the bmw
I might need these for the future. But idc I just like watching these and I’m glad to get help! :D
idk why but u made my day
💖
Wow seems like my 1965 car is race proof!
Gonna need that for the smash up seedy this fall
You can wrap the metal wire with some kind of fabric, then it will be a little bit easier to use and even if the fabric does burn the metal wire is still underneath.
It’s wrapped in plastic but good idea!
You could also add aluminium door panels as the are light and makes the car little safer.
Fantastic idea thanks for sharing
Since this is a safety issue. You cannot use just any wire. Nylon coated aircraft cable, with proper crimps and crimper is what you need. You needed to state this. Copper wire will fail.
Correct. This is steel cable and steel crimps.
A Stake-On style crimper will create a far more absolute joining, especially when it's for escape.
Make a circle loop inserting on opposite ends will be even stronger
Sweet Swaging tool, always wanted one of those 👍
I like the rhyme at the end "that's a chrisfix quick tip"
Nice tip Chris
A nicopress requires several crimps on each sleeve. Perhaps three. You don't want to overdo it making the crimped sleeve smooth. That will actually reduce the strength of the fastening.
That is a very good id
I love how you made a “race car” that is not super expressive, looks great, and it is really cool!
Hey Chris, consider untangling the ends of the steel wire, and braiding the ends together before crimping.
That's also how they do it when making loops in huuuge steel cables (for bridges / boats and such)
Considering it's a safety feature, you want that thing as strong as possible.
When you braid it; THAT is the connection, and where the strength is. (The crimp thingie just keeps it in place
If your car is on fire, it's a bad time to find out you should have crimped a little harder ;)
Also, good tip about the fire safety and all. It's not something you usually think of. ("This looks awesome. But what if this was on fire..?")
Curious; what about seatbelts?
Are they flame retardant at all?
(It would seem pretty dangerous if they'd just melt onto your skin in an accident)
Pulling the wire as a cross trough the look could put a little less strss on the crimp and +1 on safety. Maybe minimal extra but just anything
I once made a temporary door cable out of a phone cord I found in the garbage when mine broke on my jag.
I can’t wait for the turbo video
Wassup Chris Nice more Easy to open the car door great Video
You sure trust that crimp a lot. I would be coming up with some elaborate way to add 20lbs to the car lol
I came from the Instagram story, you should also do this on TikTok too
Thanks Dillan!
@@chrisfix no worries
I’ll try this on my civic
it adds 50hp
That's good
Check out kg garage
Handy dandy👌🏻
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
I got a tip before putting the metal wire put some keychain inside you you don't need it to be light aslong as its only 1
“E36 owners in the chat 👀” 🤣
It's cool to know when I start to build my race style road car I can watch Chris Fix's videos for help.
Hi Chris, and thank you for all your informative vids.
I was wondering if you can make a video in detail on how to replace a 2000 vw tdi new beetle injector pump?
Or is there a video that you can recommend me to follow step by step?
Thanks again!
Good Idea why didn't I think of that decades ago
hello chris can u make a video about how to change a abs pump? my dads car has a problem about the abs pump (its a 2010 toyota highlander btw)
thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video idea!
This is awsome
Awesome video as always Chris. I always appreciate these kind of videos and has helped me learn so much about cars and give me confidence! I know you are super busy and these videos take a while to make but I was wondering if you were going to make a tutorial on adding forced induction to your engine (supercharger or turbo). I remember you saying a few years ago that you were going to supercharge the driftstang but covid happened.
i guess this short videos should be called "QuickFix"
haha I like it!
Porsche: that’ll be 4500$ please 🙏🏼
Aw man, we must bid farewell to the merch door pull haha. But hey, the new one will carry on its legacy!
Will it work on a rocket?
Only a rocket to the moon 🌙
Because scratching the door panel in a racecar is a top priority concern 😅
Good thing the door release is fireproof. You wouldn’t want that to melt and lock you in the blazing car. 😂
Exactly!
@@chrisfix the irony is, if it would be such case, by time that would melt you would most likely already be toast.
@@alexjackson7727 we have race suits with fire ratings that give us more time to get out. That’s just some nylon so it would melt very quickly with just heat. Either way, you can’t deny a metal pull is more reliable than a nylon one.
@@chrisfix surely safety first. Just the situation presented was a bit contradictory. Thanks for the reply and good luck!
Hey guys, CrimpFix here!
Great video, 😃 I like quick videos on simple things as shown on this video. Thanks for the video Chris. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
When's the next endurance race and what's going on with some of your other cars?
Also, how about that supercar you blurred out a few videos ago... Sounded like a Ferrari or something...
Keep up the excellent work!
The race is June 9-11th and then after the race I will bring out the new car. The other cars are in storage because I have no space :(
@@chrisfix Excited! 😄
Not how you crimp that style but hopefully it won’t slip when it counts
“NIGGA ITS CHRIS FIX”
Don’t say that
Continue saying that
If you aren't a white person then it's fine to say that but if you are I'd suggest taking this comment down because we don't want any racial wars going on around here
BAHAH SOUNDS LIKE HE SAID THAT
😭
“In a fire the metal wire will always be there” I wish I could say the same about a lot of friends I used to have.
Ok
I don’t get it.
@@chrisfix When my life was messed up and I didn’t know what to do my friends just ran off.
@@markm0000 gotcha, well that's a good thing because those arent real friends. Real friends stick with you and help you when you're at your worst!
@@markm0000 tru at least now you know whose real and whose not, besides you shouldn't expect people to be there, your not entitled to their time. That's why when you find some real friends your happily surprised that they stick around during the tough time, because it's not expected or demanded of them, instead they do it because that's what THEY wanted to do.
For someone who doesn't understand how hot fire gets, here it is folks!
Imagine chrisfix would design and build a car from the ground up. This car could be shot into a Orbit, stay years up there, deorbit and would have less issues than a tesla rolling out of the factory
I need to try this
Perfect
The Ferrari F40 doors are also like this.
Love these quick tips
Keep up the work 💪
Thanks Richey!
Can you do a video on adjusting the parking break on a Nissan Rogue? When I put mine in park, it rolls about a foot forward
way cooler than the door handle, have to try it out. :)
Chris
Please make a video how to replace a car stereo speaker
Now I just need to get a race car
If the car catches fire won’t the heat melt the plastic and make the metal hot which makes it hard to touch
I knew this guy had to be a racer. He has way too much knowledge that can only be gained by being at the track all the time. I bet this guy grew up on the pavement.
I have watched you work on vehicles since the driftstang days. I love your content and can't wait for the next vid and the driftstang supercharger video 😉
Thanks a lot man!
Another chris tip quick fix
Yessss!!!!
Thanks for the video
hi, Chris could you please do a lowrider build video. it would be amazing if you did!
Chrisfix is the Regular Joe that one is saying hey what's going on you haven't put any really new videos out and I've been watching your videos and help me out fixing cars and carrying on and show your face every now and then let people know who you are okay cool
What are you even saying
excited for the fire system video of the Lemons car. Hope it drops soon!
Can you show us how to hardwire a dash cam?
That’s a good idea
Will you secure it to the door closer to the part you pull or will you leave it like that?
Hey guys, quick fix here... xD I am so so sorry, I couldn't resist
Very insightful video! Thank you very much!
I can't wait for the next video
Hi Chris, do you have any friends that owned chevrolet cruze? Pls do a video about issues with the air con unit which gives out hissing sound non stop when turned on. The sound will fluctuate and grow louder while driving. Some of us in DOWN UNDER are facing these issues with the air con unit. We want to D.I.Y to find the source of the problems. Model 2017 GEN 2 Chevrolet Cruze with new facelift 1.6 M/T (Assembly line in South Korea). 🥺😢
Good luck at lemons. I'll be pulling for your team!
Thanks a lot!
We’re still waiting for the turbo honda del sol
BMW goes like:
Vroom Vroom
And thats a chrisfix quick fix!
Maybe add a pulley so you can pull inward or even back towards yourself.
Here is a comment to help the CZcams algorithm.
Thanks a lot
a bolt into a flat 2inch bar and cable at end and push to open i aint like those hanging cables
That's another good option
Wouldn't it be easier to open the door if the handle was coming from the front instead of back?
It's pretty easy either way and since from the factory it's run from the back, it is simpler to have it a pull forward rather than rigging it so you need to pull it back. Good idea tho!
Or use an actual cable with heat shrink on it.
Tons of different ways to do this.
