• 2:26
  Yeah. We are we both build cars?
• 2:29
  The same way. Very meticulous and very
• 2:32
  detail-oriented. Yeah, so me and him have always
• 2:35
  seen eye-to-eye when it comes to fabrication.
• 2:37
  Am I allowed to talk about for as an example?
• 2:39
  These right here? No.
• 2:40
  Because he didn't do it. He didn't do these and we
• 2:42
  didn't, we didn't really but that's an example of something.
• 2:45
  As very meticulous to do that. Yeah, I'm looking at it throttle
• 2:50
  cable bracket, right? Or I'm assuming an Sr.
• 2:53
  No one knows about that yet, but yeah, now, I knows about it.
• 2:55
  But if you're listening to the podcast, you know, might as well
• 2:58
  reward the podcast listeners. If we figure out if we figure it
• 3:02
  out, Michaela bracket has a little engraving that says
• 3:05
  faction Motorsports absolutely super dope piece.
• 3:09
  No one thinks of that. Except for I'm assuming these
• 3:11
  two people right here Ethan and Frankie fella told Carl Bell
• 3:16
  more about your car. Yeah, let's talk about more of
• 3:18

• 3:32
  You got the brown interior. He's got that brown interior and
• 3:38
  the Browning Did you know the brown interior is actually

• 3:43
  expensive to get brown Interior right now.
• 3:45

• 4:14
  It's a, it's an s13. It's a coupe.
• 4:16
  Yeah. It's not a Sylvia or anything.
• 4:18
  A lot of people nowadays, I, for some reason, when they see a
• 4:20
  coop, they automatically think of a silver.
• 4:22
  I'm going to call this Sylvia either, are you?
• 4:24
  Yeah, so Frankie's gonna call it a Sylvia mainly, because it's,
• 4:28
  it got us a via front end with a Sylvia front end as well as a
• 4:32
  Sr. What Sr is it?
• 4:34
  So, next 13 SR20, it's a red top.

  I met Ethan 2016 17. I had my us 13 hatch, man.
• 5:18
  Are you must have known this man since 2011?
• 5:20

  that, we were like said hi to each other once and then it
• 5:28
  would be like oh okay cool. See you like that's it.
• 5:32
  But I really I really met Ethan like 2016 2015 when I had my ass
• 5:37
  13 hatch and You give us the story about how you met him or
• 5:40

• 5:42
  It's a pretty funny story. I thought, do you fuck with this
• 5:46

• 5:49
  You don't remember the story. Well as find out I guess, my
• 5:53
  friendship is so important to you top priority, absolute
• 5:56
  socket head over here so boring. I don't remember, let's hear it
• 6:00
  huh? Okay so I had this s13 hatch, it
• 6:03
  was a, it was Sr Swap and I had an And dip.
• 6:08
  And as I was yeah, as, yeah. You remember now?
• 6:12
  Uh-huh. Sonny's are a rainy afternoon.
• 6:16
  Chris tells me to hit this guy up, Ethan.
• 6:19
  He's like, yeah, you know, I'm like, you hit up Ethan.
• 6:21
  I'm like Ethan. Ethan was a guy.
• 6:23
  You go to get your diff welded though.
• 6:24
  That was that was the start of breakable unbreakable
• 6:28
  unbreakable. We saw him here, I don't even
• 6:31
  think you played in mind and it was fantastic.
• 6:33
  You said I don't need to do that if you weld it, right.
• 6:36
  It should be pretty sturdy sturdy.
• 6:38
  But he usually plays him though. Yeah, you usually upon, but why
• 6:41
  didn't he play to tell him store?
• 6:42
  I don't remember. I'm just going to tell this
• 6:44
  let's come on back, hold on a minute, hold ya.
• 6:48
  So I show up to Ethan's house. We're both from North Jersey.
• 6:53
  That was great. I was like cool.
• 6:55
  I'll just go over there. Why not?
• 6:57
  I've never met this guy before and he invited me over to his
• 6:59
  house. It's fantastic.
• 7:00
  What could go wrong? So then I pull up and Ethan and
• 7:03
  I are shooting the shit for like 3 hours or something, we dinner
• 7:07
  and stuff. And we're hanging out talking
• 7:09
  about his s13 and then he goes, wait, you wanted me to weld the
• 7:14
  diff like right now and I was like, yeah.
• 7:19
  That's why I'm here. He's like, oh, dude, this dip is
• 7:22
  so dirty. I can't.
• 7:24
  Well, this at all, I'm like, what?
• 7:26
  So you were just hanging out with brake cleaner this and
• 7:29
  that. And as I, as you guys know,
• 7:31
  already from earlier, Ethan is very detail-oriented.
• 7:35
  He did not like my cleaning job of the disc, but then I don't
• 7:39
  know if you remember, but you could.
• 7:40
  So kindly were, like, I actually have this other pumpkin right
• 7:44
  here. I could just weld this one and
• 7:47
  I'll take yours. Of course, just met Ethan and
• 7:50
  he's taking this as a core. He doesn't actually do this as a
• 7:54
  business just helping me out. Yeah.
• 7:56
  And he took my death and then he welded that one, put the other
• 8:01
  one in my car. We had some good Chinese food.
• 8:04
  Candy beef? Yeah.
• 8:07
  Oh my gosh, there's spare ribs, but they're just like, they do
• 8:10
  which toys. In Northville.
• 8:19
  Oh yeah. That was we ate that before we
• 8:22
  even welded to death because I'm telling you we were just
• 8:25
  chilling the whole time. How long were you there?
• 8:27
  Three hours or well with welding, the dip a while.
• 8:30
  Like, I didn't leave until that's standard procedure for
• 8:33
  Ethan. You go to his, you go to job the
• 8:36
  first time, you just end up talking for three hours and then
• 8:38
  he's talking about is like most Hardy has.
• 8:41
  He's like, yeah, man, like that thing does.
• 8:43
  Like that little cart you have you don't even brace them or
• 8:47
  anything you don't you just bought it one day.
• 8:50
  Yeah. Yeah, a 125cc touching Go-Kart
• 8:56
  with a rotax, 125 does about 70 miles an hour and it's fun to
• 8:59
  just rip up and down the street. Why is it called in tagging go?
• 9:02
  It's like touching go touch and go so it's for drifting.
• 9:05
  So you can like, start of instead of needing, like,
• 9:08
  motorized starter too far, or you push them and stuff and you
• 9:11
  jump in sit in it started. That's how that's how we met
• 9:16
  though. Yeah, singing ribbon wants.
• 9:18
  Have you did somebody hit the curb?
• 9:20
  Yeah, it's Wait, let's hear about that.
• 9:24
  I want to hear about but we took it out finally because we wanted
• 9:26
  to, you know, try it out. Where are you?
• 9:30
  He's safe environment. Professional office building up
• 9:32
  in my life. So, yeah, great Pearson.
• 9:35
  Was it Pearson? No.
• 9:36
  Oh, that was a huge Farm. I need that.
• 9:38
  It might be me. It was huge right off of.
• 9:41
  I'm not going to talk about it but uh, yeah, so he's we take it
• 9:46
  out. I wrote it too, right?
• 9:47
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 9:49
  Is it a shifter kart? No, and then Eventually hit a
• 9:54
  curb, right? I clipped it with the tire.
• 9:57
  I forgot the rear a kid. You flip.
• 9:59
  I forgot the rear axles about five feet long and I tried to
• 10:02
  cut it close to a curve and I snagged the tire and bent the
• 10:04
  rear axle. Yeah.
• 10:06
  So that was a commission for a while is still out of commission
• 10:09
  is not fresh acts. Fresh eggs are ready to go.
• 10:14
  Petit, he's on it, get me some like six inch T's and of down
• 10:19
  because it's essentially bolt. You see how I we're going to
• 10:23
  transition now cause I'm going to ask Ethan what kind of Wheels
• 10:25
  he has on his s13. Wow, that was really, that was
• 10:28
  really cool, was it? You did that transition and told
• 10:30
  everyone. It's pretty good, right?
• 10:31
  Yeah, what kind of Wheels do you have?
• 10:33
  I have some tea 37's in white, their road is tell everyone,
• 10:37
  they're definitely wrote, as we definitely know 1998 after
• 10:42
  birth. Date stickers remade.
• 10:43
  It was a prototype, you have to swear in my first choice of
• 10:46
  Wheels but they were reasonable price back in the day.
• 10:49
  So I bought them and refinish. What's reasonable to you right
• 10:51
  now? I think I paid like 1500 form 17
• 10:55
  by 9 plus 22 all around. That's good.
• 10:57
  Whoo. Seventeen's all around I cuz I
• 11:00
  like 17s. All around on its 13th.
• 11:02
  Yeah, I'm not a fan. I can't even like, I like that.
• 11:05
  It's the Stagger. Obviously the Stagger is like 17
• 11:09
  by nine front 18. I think the Stagger looks
• 11:12
  decent, but I'm pretty big. Proportions and sometimes
• 11:15
  certain side views just doesn't look right to me.
• 11:17
  Yeah yeah, I completely agree with it.
• 11:20
  I even with 17 sometimes if you look at and s13 on the side of
• 11:24
  the certain angle at least to me, it just looks like the wheel
• 11:26
  doesn't fit whatsoever and everything just looks totally
• 11:29
  out of I completely I think the only card that looks good with
• 11:32
  18s 14. Me.
• 11:34
  And I mean yes I like 180s can run staggered because I think
• 11:40
  the hatch looks okay with 18 in the back but 18 in the front of
• 11:44
  the nest 13-foot. No that's too big too big but on
• 11:48
  an S 14443 around the green. Yeah, I'm with it.
• 11:51
  Yeah, that's 14. I don't even think I would run
• 11:54
  17s unless I had like a stock body.
• 11:57
  That's so crazy because we I was just talking to Nick one of the
• 12:01
  listen, one of our listeners - you listen to chat with you
• 12:03
  beside be But we were just talking about because he had
• 12:07
  tested it some 80's and I was like, oh, that looks that was
• 12:10
  good. And he has like some really
• 12:12
  aggressive arrow and it like looks great on an S14.
• 12:16
  And I mean, it has been done before I seen a teens on Kevin
• 12:20
  fans from boss Town, his his that car look good, but it's so
• 12:26
  undrivable, just not saying he doesn't drive it, he drives the
• 12:29
  shit out of it. But when other people the way
• 12:31
  that they carry it that like the way that they style it, the way
• 12:34
  that they have it. Like if I was to own that and I
• 12:37
  was going to try that, it would just look so off to me all the
• 12:39
  time. Let's put it this way.
• 12:41
  You need to like It needs to be perfect and he's be perfected if
• 12:46
  you're going to put 18s on the car.
• 12:47
  Yeah, you need it. What's that word?
• 12:48
  I'm looking for I'm looking for this whirring, no not perfect.
• 12:53
  Like it's just, I don't know. Like, I could picture people
• 12:58
  just put an 8 thrown a teens on there as 13s with stock body and
• 13:02
  just looks like shit like well or well like, he's Keen by nines
• 13:06
  in the back of a hatch stock body.
• 13:08
  They at Works. You're talking it, you remember
• 13:10
  Johnny's car, like the way that that was.
• 13:12
  Yeah, but that car was dialed like, I'm talking like people
• 13:16
  that just throw Wheels on the car and well they got kbd and
• 13:20
  like it. It doesn't look good.
• 13:21
  You love K VD K. BD is great.
• 13:23
  What if if you're blind it comes in a flat rate box.
• 13:28
  Yeah. Comes in a box smaller than a
• 13:29
  computer box and your tight on Space by kbd.
• 13:35
  I've seen, I don't know. The concept was good when the
• 13:39
  concept is great. That's about it, but that's
• 13:43
  where it ends everything should be.
• 13:46
  Yeah, yeah. That's another thing about these
• 13:48
  about this s13 and you have is it's a week, but, you know
• 13:52
  what's crazy? Is, I remember one of our
• 13:54
  conversations so your car is mainly like OEM type of Arrow,
• 13:59
  like very similar to Chris's car everything here.
• 14:02
  And Chris is bumper was actually a bumper.
• 14:04
  I Urges. But I think I looked for about
• 14:06
  three years for a genuine Arrow bumper, and I finally found one.
• 14:10
  So I sold. Oh yeah, I remember you put that
• 14:13
  you put that, it's a dorky Darwin, but you told you that
• 14:16
  this is. Yeah, that's going with this.
• 14:18
  That's a dorky door with real quality product.
• 14:20
  Yeah, you said it fit better than the OEM or did fit better
• 14:23
  than the OEM one. But there's something about it.
• 14:25
  You just couldn't deal with. I remember.
• 14:30
  Now you give us like one part of it that you're looking at and
• 14:33
  you're like, I can't, I can't deal with this.
• 14:35
  It was like one little in like maybe was waving underneath the
• 14:40
  radiator area, like one little thing.
• 14:42
  It's possible. Maybe there were waves.
• 14:44
  It was like one thing. The center drill is supposed to
• 14:47
  be. There might have been some waves
• 14:48
  in is see me and him will just stare at cars for hours and just
• 14:51
  be like, well that's not working.
• 14:52
  Yeah, I can totally see that. I know you're not lying
• 14:55
  whatsoever. That's why Frankie that makes me
• 14:57
  work on his cars. Yeah, that's why Get Ethan to
• 15:01
  come down here when I sit here till 3:00 in the morning.
• 15:03
  Doing a freaking multi-panel. Yeah.
• 15:05
  A little project but it's easy to work with Ethan because he
• 15:08
  knows exactly what I'm looking for.
• 15:10
  For the audience that that are listening.
• 15:12
  Ethan does all Frankie's stuff on his car.
• 15:15
  Like the yeah, he's a cage, I didn't do the case.
• 15:17
  You do not know if you can do more like you crash your car and
• 15:21
  repair it, repair it. Or by the way, this is not an
• 15:25
  advertisement. So don't want her cause they'll
• 15:27
  bring your cars here. Yeah.
• 15:32
  He loves rust repair, hit him up?
• 15:35
  Yeah. Well I was gonna ask you.
• 15:39
  When did I want to tell everyone?
• 15:42
  How did you get into welding? I want.
• 15:44
  I want that story. How did I get into?
• 15:46
  Well, yeah, I'm actually yeah. So I got a job in high school
• 15:50
  working at a machine shop and there was a kid somewhere around
• 15:54
  my age that was renting a small space doing welding and
• 15:58
  machining. And I got to be friends with
• 16:01
  him. And then after I graduated high
• 16:03
  school, he is planning on opening a shop.
• 16:06
  So I helped him start up a architectural metal fabrication
• 16:09
  business. We made some really cool stuff.
• 16:12
  Some really high end stuff, made a bunch of tables that were in
• 16:15
  the lunchroom in the Guggenheim I didn't even know what the
• 16:19
  excuse me. Uh Museum crazy.
• 16:20
  Mm. Oh okay.
• 16:21
  The Guggenheim is looking all kinds of crazy.
• 16:23
  I don't think I knew about this shit.
• 16:25
  I didn't know that either friend and we were like forced to get
• 16:29
  It done two weeks early because Beyonce wanted her birthday
• 16:32
  party. In my free time, I used to run
• 16:46
  in high school or after husband, okay?
• 16:50
  like, while you're going to Lincoln Tech, it's might have
• 16:54
  been after. Okay, as I worked at slide ways
• 16:58
  for a little while, then I had enough of that and I winked back
• 17:02
  up with him and was working there.
• 17:03
  Again, it was an on-and-off both.
• 17:05
  Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, so you were kind of just
• 17:10
  teaching yourself how to weld. Yeah, I had some free time.
• 17:14
  One time, they're like after work and I just decided to try
• 17:17
  welding. Aluminum, and I got on my first
• 17:19
  shot and then, wow. Now, you can start welding stuff
• 17:22
  now. So you didn't go to school.
• 17:25
  No, I didn't go to school. Monkey see, monkey do.
• 17:27
  I just watch the other guys there and just kind of try to
• 17:30
  mimic what they were doing and it's pretty good.
• 17:32
  That's awesome. Yeah.
• 17:34
  And he his welds once, I mean, there's always that phase where
• 17:37
  Ethan will go away for a month or two and then he'll come back
• 17:41
  Rusty. If you want to be good at
• 17:42
  welding, you have to, you have to.
• 17:43
  Yeah. But then once you come here and
• 17:46
  you start pumping work out all of a sudden it starts.
• 17:49
  Yeah. Start progressing.
• 17:50
  You get. Yeah.
• 17:53
  Yeah, there's definitely way better welders out there than
• 17:56
  me, but I can't stick metal together.
• 17:59
  That's something I probably should have learned years ago
• 18:01
  and I never did, and I have a really good teacher right here.
• 18:03
  Yeah, actually, especially take welding, that's a real art form.
• 18:06
  I have that cheap Harbor Freight welder that I needed for like a
• 18:10
  quick little fix, it's not the bumper.
• 18:13
  I snapped a bolt and I needed to weld a nut to its.
• 18:15
  I got a welder from a friend of mine and I have no idea what I
• 18:19
  was doing. I watch the Youtube video they
• 18:21
  said glob it on. I'm like all right.
• 18:23
  Eggs. Why didn't you weld your own
• 18:25
  dip? It worked what me?
• 18:27
  Yeah. Well, the dip.
• 18:30
  Absolutely not. Don't sleep on those Harbor
• 18:33
  Freight, so I remember that time.
• 18:34
  I welded Joe, I know some frame back together at the track and
• 18:37
  then he like continue to drive on it for like what event would
• 18:40
  have meant was I don't remember you.
• 18:41
  Show me how to use that. Eventually we'll go back we'll
• 18:44
  come back to that conversation after this is done but yeah if
• 18:46
  it's not a lot of Trackside repairs to yeah he's every luck
• 18:52
  piece. Luckily when he's at the track,
• 18:54
  Something usually ends up, breathe.
• 18:56
  I do not. I've been around it since
• 18:58
  probably 2007. Oh yeah.
• 19:02
  If you want to get into that story, he's been into it way
• 19:04
  longer than me. How did you two meet?
• 19:06
  I want to know that Dustin. Yeah, right.
• 19:09
  Yeah, Dustin brought everyone together because I went to
• 19:12
  English town to watch drifting. Actually, he was the first one I
• 19:16
  meant Frankie when he drove a Mini Cooper, we covered that in
• 19:20
  the first that Mini Coopers. So say, if you haven't heard the
• 19:23
  first episode, Tune into that one after this but Frankie had a
• 19:26
  Mini Cooper. Ha ha ha.
• 19:28
  No sick. Pritu Ford.
• 19:30
  I love them. Even do you, did you like my
• 19:32
  Mini Cooper? I thought it was sick and I
• 19:34
  actually saw it at a car show after you sold.
• 19:36
  Yeah, the guy had a license plate, it said, Pebble Pusher,
• 19:39
  and it was on some like 15 inch c28 stand.
• 19:41
  What you have done to that Mini Cooper.
• 19:43
  We're going to take a quick tangent.
• 19:44
  I want to know so then I can have everything.
• 19:46
  I can have like a vision in my head.
• 19:48
  Okay, um, I had a supercharger pulley what color was it it was
• 19:52
  green British racing green. Wow.
• 19:55
  Holler I had an RM W. RM W was his company that made
• 19:59
  Parts. It had an arm W, header and
• 20:02
  camshaft. He was a single overhead cam in
• 20:04
  that car. What is it in essos terms of?
• 20:07
  Yeah it was super charge. This is like the first Mini
• 20:10
  Cooper. I like the Turbo S is for
• 20:12
  supercharged call know. They do have the S turbo ones
• 20:15
  after year 2005 was supercharged and in 2007 and up is the turbo
• 20:22
  I think. But it's a Chrysler motor.
• 20:25
  So it's not anything crazy. That was a BMW motor.
• 20:27
  It's a BMW car. It's a Chrysler engine.
• 20:30
  Oh, that's ridiculous. Yeah, but the turbo said, okay,
• 20:36
  Racing Dynamics. Yeah, wait.
• 20:40
  Those are though. They make, they make a lot of
• 20:42
  Wheels. They make a lot of 17-inch, they
• 20:44
  buy 100 there. The car was sick, man.
• 20:46
  So what I was probably the coolest kid in town, dude.
• 20:50
  I was in bed and I wanted a GM car so bad.
• 20:53
  So, yeah, that's what every wow. So you work.
• 20:58
  I'm trying to I'm trying to get a picture in my head of what
• 21:00
  Frankie was? I was a weirdo.
• 21:03
  Your stare was used to not that weird, but I was in the crazy
• 21:08
  things. I thought you said you'd never
• 21:10
  had short hair. No, it wasn't that she was like,
• 21:13
  like still like kind of like it was like the, you know, the
• 21:16
  Justin Bieber cut. Yeah, polka.
• 21:18
  Okay. Little bit better than that.
• 21:21
  But yeah, he had a bulkhead you drove a mini.
• 21:25
  Yeah, it was bad. Pretty much know the car was
• 21:27
  There's no, we want to watch. Yeah.
• 21:30
  Nothing was probably fastest. Most am STIs.
• 21:32
  And that thing stopped, I did. Yeah, at least one.
• 21:35
  I know that stop. Yeah.
• 21:37
  And then then the head got gunked we need like to me like
• 21:40
  200. At least 200 at the wheel, but I
• 21:43
  think more than I think I ran like 2:30 at the wheel or
• 21:45
  something that's awesome and it and they really weigh about 24.
• 21:51
  Those things are quick man like like around corners.
• 21:54
  They're great car. Yeah that was why I liked it
• 21:57
  because it's The way it handled but, you know, so you guys met
• 22:02
  when you saw it, when he had the mini at a well, Dustin probably
• 22:04
  introduced us or I saw you at the track, I don't, you said
• 22:07
  something about going to Club lose with Dustin?
• 22:10
  Yeah, well Dustin's another person we have to get on here
• 22:14
  but ya Dustin is an OG and the drift Community to me around
• 22:19
  here when it doesn't, start drifting 2009 or eight, probably
• 22:24
  around when I met him because he had his Z.
• 22:27
  Yeah. Yeah, so I met Dustin free.
• 22:32
  A long time ago when I worked at a golf course for a little while
• 22:34
  during the summary showed up. Oh, really nice song back.
• 22:37
  That's how you met him? That was the first time I met
• 22:40
  him. Then why wouldn't I know the
• 22:42
  legendary Edgewater meets? Yeah, yeah and I saw him there
• 22:46
  and I was like, hey, I know you. Yeah.
• 22:49
  And we talked and wow for a while and then I pulled up to
• 22:52
  Lincoln Tech and there was this kid doing doughnuts in the
• 22:54
  parking lot at like 6:30 in the morning and dizzy.
• 22:57
  And I'm like wait a second and then you went to the same
• 23:00
  school. Yeah.
• 23:01
  Then on, we became like actual friends.
• 23:04
  These were expensive back then because he was sick back.
• 23:07
  Then. He had a centrifugal.
• 23:08
  Supercharger jic Wheels jic coilovers.
• 23:12
  You have like yeah. Piston for piston brakes day.
• 23:15
  I see. Oh my God.
• 23:17
  He was. Yeah, dozens been in it.
• 23:19
  He was in it for a while, man. Yeah.
• 23:21
  For the listeners who are listening that aren't familiar
• 23:24
  with this brand, JC that we're talking about.
• 23:25
  It was an old JDM brand. I feel like they always mention
• 23:29
  Rim. Yeah, suspension brand.
• 23:30
  They always come on. Like cars and people just take
• 23:33
  them off right away, but the old nowadays, they're kind of old.
• 23:36
  But that was that was a cool little little tangent there,
• 23:41
  what was the first event you saw at Englishtown drifting?
• 23:47
  Well, I think this it's at least pre Road Track when they still
• 23:53
  did parking lot events. Hmm, it was probably a parking
• 23:58
  lot events. I don't know if the road track
• 24:00
  was open yet. What is this like 2010 know?
• 24:03
  Probably like, well maybe probably the best event was D1.
• 24:09
  There it is. I went down to D1 Englishtown.
• 24:12
  What year was that 07 D1? Englishtown.
• 24:15
  Maybe 2004. They have it.
• 24:17
  What track did they had it on the road?
• 24:18
  Course they realigned. I have pictures on a flip phone
• 24:22
  somewhere of light. You a as cars.
• 24:25
  What? Let's get, let's get back to
• 24:28
  that signal signal Auto cars there.
• 24:32
  Yeah, look at us. 2009, 2009. D1 Englishtown.
• 24:39
  Yeah, that's something that I wish I was at.
• 24:42
  But I was like a year or two late to the game.
• 24:45
  It was pretty sick. 2009. I remember I went down there
• 24:50
  with the shop. I worked at the time of like
• 24:53
  rented, a U-Haul truck and brought like a couch and
• 24:56
  speakers and like a DJ booth and my boss Frank was like DJing
• 25:01
  that was slide ways. Yeah.
• 25:03
  That was - that's good. Good Times back.
• 25:08
  Team orange cars. It was team.
• 25:11
  Oranges there. Yeah.
• 25:14
  There's some footage in this shitty.
• 25:15
  Oh yeah, wow, d1gp wasn't Petty Driving shit there, too.
• 25:19
  And it was on there's some oh geez.
• 25:21
  There wasn't what's-his-face in the comedy drove, the ma zombie
• 25:31
  car. Oh my God.
• 25:33
  Yeah, we'll get this era of cars.
• 25:37
  Team orange Subaru. That car was a brand new car
• 25:41
  back then. Yeah, I think.
• 25:45
  Was Petty Driving that I think he is that.
• 25:50
  Wow, I can't find shit. This is not.
• 25:54
  What weight, which of vein, which of them are you talking
• 25:57
  about? Was it on the road course?
• 25:58
  There was an impressive other parking in the parking lot of.
• 26:00
  Yeah, this is a parking lot of to be going really, really fast?
• 26:05
  I know. I wish they would do stuff like
• 26:07
  that again. Yeah, wanna get that layout.
• 26:09
  Is that is that in the car truck?
• 26:10
  It wasn't a car track. It seems like they you know how
• 26:13
  to turn one. You're going towards the now,
• 26:14
  Cobalt lat. But the meaning is in the Copart
• 26:17
  lot which you cannot touch the problem flying in and it's a
• 26:22
  huge right. To a left hairpin.
• 26:25
  That's like that right back back.
• 26:27
  When they did Night Moves, they did it on that side to night.
• 26:30
  They had it on Wednesday nights. That was that was the best time
• 26:34
  ever. The thing is, is nowadays.
• 26:35
  I feel like, I don't know. It could go either way.
• 26:37
  It could be a really big success, big enough where it
• 26:40
  would cause like, there'd be, I don't know, like a Wednesday
• 26:44
  night like what kind of characters are showing up on a
• 26:46
  Wednesday night to go drifting, you know, awesome people me.
• 26:49
  Yeah me, cool. Yeah, people who want to go
• 26:53
  drifting. You know, don't want to, I don't
• 26:57
  know, it's Wednesday nights were like there, weren't that many
• 26:59
  people there, so it was good. There's definitely quiet.
• 27:02
  Although, the thing is, is like eventually got pretty busy.
• 27:05
  I feel like like, like the cost to have those events.
• 27:10
  Yeah, I don't know anything about that.
• 27:11
  I can't see, like, you know, there's everyone's always like
• 27:14
  why we want these events. There's obviously going to be
• 27:17
  like cons. Yeah, Logistics.
• 27:19
  I mean you gotta pay everyone. Yeah.
• 27:21
  So, you know, but I just Hey, I think I think Chris snap should
• 27:25
  do something like that during the weekday.
• 27:27
  Yeah you hear us. Hint, hint.
• 27:29
  Come on. Chris shout-out to Chris.

• 27:45
  Dave. Man, I'm just so happy for that
• 27:48
  guy. I had a great time.
• 27:50
  We went to English town for a little private day.
• 27:51
  East Coast drift drift school. Check them out on Instagram if
• 27:55
  you haven't already, but they had a little private day.
• 27:58
  They had Dave doing donuts. I showed up.
• 28:00
  He was doing donuts. Oh yeah.
• 28:01
  Okay. You were like a figure eight in
• 28:03
  the parking lot and the little no in the little just opens.
• 28:06
  There were tree turn. Is that little old?
• 28:08
  Yeah, yeah. So he's doing figure eights and
• 28:10
  he was doing and he was doing them because I brought into a
• 28:13
  parking lot tonight before. Did you?
• 28:15
  Yeah. Okay.
• 28:16
  Like he did something before. Yeah, he was getting it.
• 28:19
  He was he was able to do it and then he started doing the turn,
• 28:23
  you know, the current pattern after treats her and when you're
• 28:25
  doing backwards the first he was able to get in there and and and
• 28:31
  do that one turn and he just kept doing this one turn.
• 28:33
  And if you guys are unfamiliar with English town, after this
• 28:36
  one left little hairpin, there's a long we're doing this is this
• 28:41
  is back, that course, anglers in Reverse.
• 28:43
  There's a long, right? Sweeper, it's not a Would you
• 28:47
  call that a sweet kind of? Yeah, he has a long, right?
• 28:49
  Sweeper goes uphill, it's pretty daunting Corner.
• 28:52
  If you've never drifted before in Dave, has never drifted
• 28:54
  before aside from yeah, his little experience with Frankie.
• 28:58
  So he was trying to learn how to transition trying to learn how
• 29:00
  to transition and he had David Bob in the car for his
• 29:04
  assistance. David Bob has its zn6 chassis
• 29:06
  himself and Dave, Dave is Dave's cousin.
• 29:10
  What? Yeah, they're related.
• 29:12
  Oh my God. Yeah.
• 29:13
  Inception exceptions to Dave, Dave.
• 29:16
  Dave Garcia exception, I was in the car and it was a it was like
• 29:21
  wait, Dave. And then it occurred to me that
• 29:23
  there are both named they both look, they both looked at me and
• 29:27
  I was like, oh my gosh but ya know.
• 29:30
  So yeah, he was in the car trying to teach him and then I
• 29:33
  told Chris, I'm like, yeah, he's not gonna get that turn, there's
• 29:35
  no way. And then the last the wrong we
• 29:38
  last run of the night one. Setting.
• 29:40
  Yeah, it was like a movie. I heard highway to the danger
• 29:42
  zone. Playing all of a sudden we're
• 29:45
  just talking. We were just talking.
• 29:47
  We're having conversation. Dave's having a one run.
• 29:49
  Yeah. And all of a sudden this car
• 29:51
  comes ripping around the corner. Why why throttle wide line,
• 29:55
  perfect line, perfect line, and we all look over like what the
• 29:59
  hell? And then he looks crazy.
• 30:02
  Pulls the hand brake a little bit and Floors it and just goes
• 30:06
  right through. Yeah, we're like all the way to
• 30:08
  top the who all yeah. Yeah, and that was it.
• 30:11
  But what had a camera if it wasn't for David, Bob in the
• 30:14
  car. Oh yeah, I'm have.
• 30:15
  There is footage of this. Check out David's Instagram.
• 30:19
  If you have it more than we're gonna have a full video of,
• 30:21
  we're going to Young do video of it on the YouTube channel.
• 30:24
  What else is it going to say? That was insane.
• 30:26
  It was such a happy. I couldn't even imagine being
• 30:29
  the age that Dave is and you just swallow car around.
• 30:32
  He's 16. Yes. 7 to 17.
• 30:35
  Yeah. And he's like whipping around
• 30:37
  the track. Yeah, I couldn't even imagine.
• 30:40
  Probably so happy and we're trying to train him, you know,
• 30:43
  it's a great platform that he's got there.
• 30:45
  That's that's that's the formula of what we were preaching in
• 30:48
  episode 1. Yeah, we're going to do another.
• 30:51
  We're going to do another episode because it's obviously
• 30:53
  Saturday. So it's gonna come out on

  Monday. So it was obvious because we
• 30:57
  told everyone we did, we. Yeah.

  Um, so Wednesday, Wednesday is going to be our 350Z episode.
• 31:04
  I got a little taste of the Z. Like you got the drift 350Z,

• 31:48
  day with my brother. Kenneth, if you're listening
• 31:50
  kind of his my brother headed by a drift car will be out.
• 31:54
  We can wait as happened, but yeah, Ethan's thinking about
• 31:56
  getting a drift car and we're pondering ideas right now.
• 31:58
  Since to 40s are a lot of money, so a season.
• 32:01
  Yeah. After I asked you, have you ever
• 32:04
  drifted? You're not going to tell me
• 32:05
  actually thinking about getting into drifting.
• 32:07
  Well, he wants to dude. Trying to keep it on the
• 32:10
  down-low. People up my spot.
• 32:12
  Well we're not going to mention any potential cars.
• 32:16
  Yeah. So what that's bullshit.
• 32:18
  Dirty. There's one that we give us one.
• 32:20
  Give us a little Glitz little sneak em.
• 32:22
  Three snaps. Shut up.
• 32:25
  No you're not. No.
• 32:27
  Are you I'm all for tea? No, do it up.
• 32:31
  That ain't, what kind of dad? Ain't it cuz oh yeah, yeah.
• 32:38
  Carl, what happened? You got a new car?
• 32:39
  I did. I got a, I got a daily.
• 32:42
  I had to unfortunately, get rid of the truck.
• 32:44
  I needed a car to get to work. I commute, I'd go to the office,
• 32:49
  and I picked up a Toyota, Celica 1997.
• 32:51
  I don't know. Jack shit about Celicas at all.
• 32:54
  Like I bought this thing, he popped the hood, it'd look
• 32:56
  great, but in my opinion, it was nice because I was just using my
• 33:00
  General Automotive knowledge. Like I'm not looking at it as a

• 35:10
  orchestra roles in Orchestra, they have like a whole remember
• 35:16
  there's a corner that's just for VQ cars or something?
• 35:20
  Isn't that pretty much all these ons and nowadays, unfortunately
• 35:24
  Altimas. Other than there's usually some
• 35:27
  good GTA drifting for the most part Infinity makes the better
• 35:32
  car now, right now and it's deeply, huh?
• 35:34
  Nissan is a bargain-basement company these days and it pains
• 35:37
  me to say that. Yeah, that does VR 30.
• 35:39
  They made is great. That drivetrain in the newsie.
• 35:42
  I love that. It's a twin-turbo V6.
• 35:44
  Yeah, it's going to be good. Well, other than terrible going
• 35:47
  on. It's been an other cars.
• 35:49
  Those are what are they? What is that stood?
• 35:50
  And they got is that a cute? Cute, cute little red red.
• 35:54
  That's an Infinity. Yeah, it's an adventure.
• 35:56
  All I know is we have a friend who works at infinity, and he
• 35:59
  replaces a lot of turbos on those engines.
• 36:01
  Really a lot of them. Wow, yeah, so I don't know, it
• 36:06
  could just be a dealership thing, but Why know how to fix
• 36:10
  that? You just put a fucking SR20.
• 36:12
  You put a Garret on there and that's it.
• 36:14
  Called two of them. I don't know.
• 36:18
  I like, I like that drivetrain. It's now they're definitely nice
• 36:23
  that each are you were driving the other days of EQ.
• 36:26
  And let me tell you that thing, sounded great.
• 36:28
  I wouldn't say great, but it did sound okay at the hi Brett.
• 36:31
  It was, it's HR. So it's he has like a stock
• 36:35
  muffler or something, so it's like not bad.
• 36:38
  When this stock Muffler, but there is a muffler.
• 36:41
  That's the important. Yeah.
• 36:42
  Keeps the trunk. Yeah, it's dude, it's not even
• 36:44
  bad. It's not offensive at all.
• 36:46
  Yeah, but but I still wouldn't I still wouldn't say it's good
• 36:50
  though. You think I should show the
• 36:53
  compressor off? Put the headphones on.
• 36:56
  Just see if you can hear it. Are you kidding me?
• 36:57
  Or ask me? This is like yeah.
• 37:00
  Just see if you can hear it. Yeah, this is an actual working
• 37:05
  shot. Frankie just, you know, you
• 37:10
  never know what kind of mood he's going to be in you Snickers
• 37:13
  from time to time and then he's happy.
• 37:15
  Yeah, I don't know. I just the podcast idea was all
• 37:18
  about just being able to, with the mics out and do whatever we
• 37:21
  want. I love whipping it out.
• 37:23
  Yeah. You with the mics out with them
• 37:25
  out, you whip them out. You can't get any rest.
• 37:27
  Good, thank you. I'm going to take this moment
• 37:30
  right here to thank our listeners right now.
• 37:32
  Yeah, they're actually listening to this.
• 37:33
  They were here us, that's crazy. This one's this one is going to
• 37:36
  show us who Who's really listening because we're not
• 37:38
  talking about shit right now. Yeah, this is literally just
• 37:41
  we're just going Ethan's episode.
• 37:48
  You know, for those people out there who like Ethan, leave a
• 37:51
  comment, you know, Ethan school don't need comments, there's
• 37:53
  like two of them, let Ethan know what you're thinking know what
• 37:56
  should they do, if they made it this far, which is they made it
• 37:59
  this far, you should comment Ethan's Rodas.
• 38:06
  All right. So where did we leave off with
• 38:08
  the Ethan story with it with the Ethan story?
• 38:10
  Well, you first, I'm going to eat and the cool event d1gp.
• 38:13
  Yeah, that's awesome. That's just fucking cool.
• 38:16
  Let's just put a cap on that bus because that was that was Yeah,
• 38:19
  because I had my first car was an STI saved up.
• 38:22
  Yeah. You had a Subaru as well.
• 38:25
  And that was when they were like I was really into like rally
• 38:30
  racing and wow. Frankie to.
• 38:32
  He said he and poking around Mountain Roads because we got a
• 38:35
  lot of those around us. Yeah.
• 38:38
  So I saved up started working and garage when I was 13 and
• 38:41
  from then on I saved up until I could afford a car and I blew it
• 38:44
  all on what color I see what called what type would
• 38:47
  generation STI and what The 2005 silver.
• 38:50
  STI blah blah blah. Yeah but you had yeah.
• 38:55
  Wow you look at that. You guys are but brothers and
• 38:57
  mine was gray but it was basically the same car.
• 38:59
  Almost the same call this color. So direct - like oh yeah you you
• 39:05
  wrecked it personally? Yeah.
• 39:06
  Might as well talk about it. I was but I want to hear this
• 39:10
  nice wide exit ramp and uh-huh. It sounds irresponsible it was
• 39:15
  pretty responsible bullying around an exit ramp.
• 39:18
  It was a nice I sweeper and down at the bottom, it turned out to
• 39:22
  be all wet and my car just let go Couldn't hang on and I took a
• 39:27
  understeered it just like a let go of the road.
• 39:30
  I just complete 50. 50 feet of guardrail cracked three.
• 39:34
  Ribs boy, keep it on the track, get the hell out of here.
• 39:44
  Yes, through drifting is cool more than I paid for the car
• 39:52
  aside from paying for 50 feet of guardrail.
• 39:55
  My insurance. I bought a to 40 rooms are the
• 40:00
  one you have now. No, it was actually my first
• 40:02
  240, my first foray into two 40s.
• 40:06
  I bought it from the sky Brandon who was like an original drift
• 40:10
  Alliance guy. I drove that around for a while,
• 40:14
  okay? Had some fun with it.
• 40:18
  And then I traded that for a gc8 with a ej20 G swap that you are
• 40:24
  a transmission in it. Well yeah.
• 40:27
  Photos of that car. No, I have nothing from that
• 40:30
  car. Surprisingly.
• 40:31
  Well, it was that white. It was blue.
• 40:34
  We'll really lose you got it. Well, Just like your wheels and
• 40:43
  then had some issues with the motor.
• 40:46
  So I ended up selling that and I found my current chassis in
• 40:51
  Queens, for four grand, with an S, RN it, a power FCD, Jetro in
• 40:56
  the box and other than that, it was completely stock took it
• 41:00
  home for Grand. And that's the car I still have
• 41:02
  today. What was wrong with the Subaru
• 41:04
  engine that you got rid of it? I think it was something with
• 41:08
  like a fuel controller. Something those it was funny
• 41:12
  that you say that because we had a car here that had a problem
• 41:15
  with the fuel control. Somebody had wired up the JDM
• 41:18
  motor to it and when I was working at slide ways, we have
• 41:22
  another car that we did a swap and it had like a similar
• 41:25
  problem and I think somebody had messed up the wiring and it just
• 41:28
  wasn't running right? And I couldn't figure it out
• 41:30
  because I'm the wiring wizard. So you said by yes I said by
• 41:34
  sold it for like 3,500 bucks and What year was that?
• 41:40
  No? What year was it that you sold?
• 41:42
  It. Get the hell out of here.
• 41:48
  sometime, I I got the sometime around when you had your first
• 41:53
  black hat 2012. So yeah, I probably sold it
• 41:57
  around like late 2011, early 2012.
• 42:00
  I didn't see that car though, right?
• 42:02
  No. Then I picked up The 240.
• 42:07
  From this guy in Queens. Yeah, because you have that to
• 42:10
  40 when I'm when I met you, that thing was ridiculous when I
• 42:13
  picked it up, get some like giant like 60 dash 1 turbo on
• 42:18
  some top mount manifold and it didn't fit under the hood.
• 42:20
  So we just cut a hole. Compressor was sticking out of
• 42:25
  the hood. That's funny.
• 42:27
  Oh now you want that? Yeah.
• 42:29
  Oh yeah what is it? Ethan brought me candy and I'm
• 42:32
  going to eat it now. Okay.
• 42:34
  You do that Carl. Thank you, thank you.
• 42:36
  So I drove it around for A while blew up a couple turbos.
• 42:40
  A couple a couple T25 telling the story about.
• 42:46
  Something fell off your car. I don't know what, if the
• 42:49
  intercooler the intercooler beta collectible talking about the,
• 42:52
  when it caught on fire. But no, no.
• 42:56
  Tell us about the intercooler falling off something.
• 42:58
  Nice thing about, gee, Jack froze when you have a boost leak
• 43:01
  and you're just driving. Normally can't really tell any
• 43:03
  things wrong Scott map sensors. So, I didn't have a stereo in it
• 43:08
  at the time and I would had headphones on and I was driving
• 43:12
  around and I kept thinking I was here in something like scraping
• 43:16
  So, I was coming around the bend, pull that, that your pot
• 43:20
  out and I hear, oh, man, what's going on?
• 43:25
  So I go to Poland to this pizza place and I didn't realize their
• 43:28
  driveway, had like a steep 45-degree incline.
• 43:31
  So I pull in at like 15 miles an hour.
• 43:33
  And I, my intercooler is dragging so I headed and I guess
• 43:37
  the intercooler got like wedged under the car and I just
• 43:40
  remember hearing a loud bang, looking at the skies And then I
• 43:49
  had to get towed home. So in your course, title, for
• 43:52
  the intercooler. Yeah.
• 43:53
  Like dented my front crossmember and everything and that's the
• 43:57
  current car. You have what was the
• 43:59
  intercooler made out of fucking? It picks up the car for the
• 44:04
  night. That's not eBay.
• 44:06
  Special intercooler that frankly responsible.
• 44:08
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could use them as jack
• 44:12
  stands. So when we did you decide like
• 44:14
  okay, I'm going to rebuild Build this car and stop driving it
• 44:18
  because you need that hat forever.
• 44:20
  You'll probably never see my car.
• 44:22
  He drove it for a little bit. I've seen it in the light.
• 44:24
  Well, he spent years building it but it did run.
• 44:28
  It was really on and off build process.
• 44:30
  You lose motivation. Get some yeah.
• 44:33
  Well you did, you did finish it and it was running and then you
• 44:36
  ran into more problems another motors out again.
• 44:38
  What problems are with it? Now I think the Machine Shop
• 44:41
  messed up and something wasn't, right?
• 44:43
  Because it was just constantly Smoking.
• 44:46
  It wasn't the turbo or anything. Whoo, I bought the motor.
• 44:50
  It was already at the Machine Shop.
• 44:52
  It was my boss's, I guess he had them bore it like 20 over.
• 44:56
  I have a feeling. They didn't use a torque plate
• 44:59
  so if I had to take a guess I'd probably say the boars aren't
• 45:02
  eccentric. So the block is fucked.
• 45:05
  Yeah, my need to be bored out a little more.
• 45:08
  Oh yeah. Fucking why not?
• 45:09
  Just bored out a little more. Right?
• 45:10
  Mean, worst case scenario, I got a couple more SOS on Deck.
• 45:13
  So hey I mean you know the trend right now 2.2.
• 45:17
  Yeah, luckily look at what for anyone to be a tire biter, Frank
• 45:20
  then yeah. Like Josh stealing my 2.2 liter,
• 45:24
  is he also I think he's gonna build a spare motor where he's
• 45:29
  going to start building another one and he's gonna do it,
• 45:31
  stroker kit. I actually don't really know
• 45:33
  Josh that well, Well, but he can a Josh, I need to go pick up
• 45:35
  that free girdle, he offered me. Oh yeah, I was going to say, who
• 45:39
  needed. Well, he was like, who needs
• 45:40
  this? I was like, I was just gonna
• 45:43
  grab that. you know, I spent all day doing
• 46:01
  well, we started at We're about 10 or 11, all of a sudden we
• 46:05
  were like, wait, why don't we just live stream this?
• 46:08
  Because we decided to go live while I was writing a total, the
• 46:10
  car. Yeah, I was at my desk.
• 46:13
  I was like, damn, it's like, oh, I should do this, but I should
• 46:15
  probably work. Yeah.
• 46:17
  And people were just watching it and leaving it on at work.
• 46:19
  So, damn it. I should have did that too.
• 46:21
  And we were just like talk. I was talking to him a couple
• 46:23
  times but we strip the whole engine down and realize it had
• 46:27
  sludging at Midway through. Well you're doing the faction
• 46:30
  treatment. You're going to what do you mean
• 46:31
  Midway through? Because some of those rocker.
• 46:33
  I'll tell you how easiest things I've ever seen.
• 46:36
  That one's almost worn all the way through.
• 46:38
  Yeah. We have to do a video on that
• 46:39
  actually. That's like you look out for
• 46:41
  that on the on the YouTube channel.
• 46:43
  You Action Motors work YouTube for stronger while kids.
• 46:46
  Yeah. So well it started it started.
• 46:49
  Because I was like oh this engine still has oil in it.
• 46:51
  So I took the turbo off then I was like I gotta drain this so
• 46:54
  it I loosen the bolt. I put the bucket underneath I
• 46:57
  loosen it. I moved on.
• 46:58
  Nothing comes out. I'm like wait what?
• 47:00
  And then it just a slob just comes down.
• 47:04
  All of them. and it's like just dripping so thick and I'm like,
• 47:09
  oh my God and Chris is just looking at me like Also, we
• 47:13
  should probably just stop now. All I know Chris, I know that
• 47:16
  face Christ, makes okay, we'll get this.
• 47:18
  So take it all apart. Which was not fun because I have
• 47:24
  to wipe my hands. I yeah, every single time I
• 47:26
  touch the dirty motor sucks so and I use 10 cans of brake clean
• 47:30
  and it's not even clean yet. Like yeah, that's like 50 bucks.
• 47:33
  Is a lot of money. So so I in my head I would I was
• 47:38
  like maybe I should stop because we probably can't use this.
• 47:43
  The customer wants to do a 2.2 again, stroker kit, I'm telling
• 47:47
  you, this is the new hotness right now, this is which for
• 47:49
  which car this Reggie TIR, This is for an actual Pulsar.
• 47:53
  Yeah, awesome. So he already has a stroker kit
• 47:56
  and everything. Okay, what brand?
• 47:59
  I don't know. You might know it's not
• 48:01
  Japanese. Brian Crower.
• 48:05
  I don't think it is either some other one might be some GTI our
• 48:09
  company s. See how they make some sweet
• 48:12
  stuff for you goes. Anyway, I start taking the head
• 48:15
  apart and I noticed right away. I put a top dead center just cuz
• 48:19
  I do that every time when I'm taking it apart, and I noticed
• 48:22
  the cam lobe on the intake side is they're supposed to be round.
• 48:28
  This one comes to a point. It's like it's a, it's a point.
• 48:33
  It's like, It's like a hexagon. The camshaft lobe is a hexagon.
• 48:39
  How does that happen? You've never changed your oil is
• 48:42
  how that happens is water it down that much.
• 48:44
  Yeah, it's metal on metal contact.
• 48:46
  It was so donkey there. Probably wasn't a lot of oil
• 48:49
  flowing through but okay, but here, get this.
• 48:52
  Okay, so I see that I'm like, okay, I take the cam out and I
• 48:57
  can move, I can move the Rockers while they're in the.
• 49:00
  I'm just like moving them around.
• 49:01
  I'm like, this doesn't seem right, I did.
• 49:04
  This before I realized, I had solid lifters or whatever.
• 49:08
  So I take those out, I not take the Rockers out.
• 49:11
  The Rockers are completely destroyed, they, they have a
• 49:15
  shape that's like, rounded up. Yeah, a little bit, these were
• 49:19
  convex. These are the rocker arms were
• 49:21
  talking about, on the prior episode that.
• 49:23
  Yeah, I mean, it's an SR-22. So like yeah, that so they're
• 49:28
  completely just not changing oil, It's gotta be.
• 49:30
  Yeah. So they're completely destroyed.
• 49:33
  So at this point I'm like, okay, So, these journals are going to
• 49:35
  be trashed obviously. Yeah, if all of this is bad.
• 49:40
  So I take the cams out. I didn't like completely inspect
• 49:44
  everything because it's covered, but I cleaned a couple journals
• 49:47
  and I was like these journals look completely fine.
• 49:50
  Like everything somehow seems to be unaffected, you know, all I
• 49:55
  care about it like a film of sludge on it that just, you
• 49:58
  know, couldn't because it does it gets weird.
• 49:59
  I have a feeling. The does the head have the drips
• 50:04
  quarters for the cam? Yeah, the regular ones that one
• 50:06
  so that was working. That's no.
• 50:08
  So that's probably what's fogged Rocco?
• 50:13
  Yeah. But how is oil getting those
• 50:16
  out? Actually always.
• 50:18
  Yeah. But how is that little?
• 50:21
  So let me continue this story because I got everyone's got to
• 50:26
  realize the next part. Hold on.
• 50:27
  I'm going to share this tip really quick.
• 50:29
  R Sr owners out here. We're listening there.
• 50:31
  We heard you clean your cam squirters there.
• 50:34
  Yeah. But it's this little thing.
• 50:36
  That's that's right over the cam it's a little hard line or buy
• 50:39
  new ones because we have them on website.
• 50:40
  Do you check them out at Fashion Week?
• 50:42
  That calm if they get in stock, you got to always check them
• 50:46
  out. But there they have.
• 50:47
  These little holes. I get clogged and that's like
• 50:50
  number so easy to look over. Yeah.
• 50:54
  That it causes premature felt like your cams get hot spots
• 50:58
  like crazy because then if your cans actually if you have sludge
• 51:01
  in your motor oh yeah. So at this point yeah so this
• 51:04
  point I'm like okay so only thing that I need to make sure
• 51:06
  of now is it looks like the cam journals are good.
• 51:10
  So now the only thing that matters is the Main journals
• 51:13
  because he's going to get a new crankshaft bottom end.
• 51:15
  Yeah, so I'm like as long as the main journals are good, then I
• 51:19
  guess we can use this motor if it can get cleaned.
• 51:22
  Okay, completely. It's going to j.p. so I'm
• 51:26
  assuming it's going to get a full treatment but it's always
• 51:30
  flip it around. Start taking the bottom and the
• 51:31
  part drop, the drop the Pistons out.
• 51:35
  Take the girdle off. Check the mains and domains look
• 51:39
  like they're okay. So it's just a can.
• 51:41
  Oh here's the other part. OK.
• 51:43
  I take the oil pickup off. The to buy the pan?
• 51:46
  Yeah. The oil pickup is caked with
• 51:49
  either. I guess, sludge rocks or metal,
• 51:55
  or all of it, or both to the point where it's all of the
• 51:59
  above, it's caked in there so much that I'm digging it out.
• 52:03
  So how the hell could there be only oil?
• 52:05
  You can order a new pickup tube, dude.
• 52:09
  It's so bad though. Like I'm telling you, like I
• 52:10
  didn't even get it all out. I was sitting there for like
• 52:14
  That hypothesis, I don't know that, that I for.
• 52:17
  Okay, how about this? Never change the oil?
• 52:20
  Ran it? Do you think maybe?
• 52:24
  It's sitting for a extended amount of time could have done
• 52:27
  that to the oil in the pan and like meaning possibly.
• 52:32
  But after looking at all the components, yeah.
• 52:35
  Obviously like obviously there was a problem for quite a while
• 52:38
  to wear through a rocker arm like that.
• 52:40
  Yeah, there's no indication of it mixing anything, right.
• 52:43
  I haven't even talked to the customer yet.
• 52:44
  I'm gonna email them on Monday. We produce there's there's no,
• 52:48
  there's no indication of anything that would make it
• 52:51
  known that kind of consistency because it It looks like
• 52:54
  pudding. No, it's that's what happens.
• 52:56
  It's sludge. That's sludge sheesh.
• 52:59
  Yeah. End of the day.
• 53:00
  He's all right. As long as the aluminum has not
• 53:02
  scored. Yeah.
• 53:03
  It looked like it was okay. So I guess we're going to take
• 53:06
  it to j.p. and he's gonna do his magic on it and I think we're
• 53:10
  going to swap it in the car. So I love pulsars man.
• 53:14
  There's the owner of this car. He has a shop in Clifton, but
• 53:18
  it's a German shop and he's like, I don't have the time for
• 53:20
  this. So yeah.
• 53:22
  He's like I found out about you guys.
• 53:23
  I'm just gonna give give it to you.
• 53:25
  I was like, well, we work on his SR20 so that's also he knows
• 53:28
  what he knows. He knows what's up.
• 53:29
  Yeah, so yeah, that was fun. And that was a live stream and
• 53:33
  the livestream went. Well, we got like 35 to 40 watch
• 53:37
  time hours from that live stream teeth on YouTube.
• 53:40
  Yeah, and you guys so much The support, we always appreciate
• 53:43
  ya. Thanks sir for everyone hanging
• 53:45
  out in there. Talking to me because it was, it
• 53:47
  was fun. Kept me entertained for the day.
• 53:49
  This little project of this podcast is like the one thing
• 53:53
  Frankie ever. Let me do ever.
• 53:55
  So I'm really fucking grateful to you listeners.
• 53:57
  Okay? Because he keeps letting me come
• 53:59
  here and he fucking hates me. So like, it's great.
• 54:02
  Well, you said you were going to stick with it.
• 54:04
  So see you want it? This is episode 5 now.
• 54:07
  All right, let's get back to it. Where where we leave off?
• 54:10
  Are you got your 240? You put it together.
• 54:14
  You ran it fast. Oh yeah.
• 54:17
  How fast was that car? Fast?
• 54:18
  As fuck your car before. You just took it apart.
• 54:21
  Tell me a faster plates. Scary fast.
• 54:24
  Yeah, Ethan was, I can't hook like well into fourth gear
• 54:29
  spinning tires before his Gear. Well, I just recently took my
• 54:32
  motor apart or at least started to turns out the last time I
• 54:36
  took a rip in it. I spit a rocker arm off.
• 54:39
  Yeah. And it's integrated valve.
• 54:42
  God. The keeper one, I could only
• 54:45
  find half of it, the rest of it, just like shatter.
• 54:48
  So, you have a teardown, did you have rocker arm stoppers on it?
• 54:51
  No, thank God. I'm surprised you didn't fly
• 54:53
  off. It was just like laying off to
• 54:55
  the side so it was off. Oh yeah.
• 54:57
  You're probably doing a huge mikulski and I think blue around
• 55:01
  in there you who will again wait so the car was running.
• 55:05
  Okay it was all right I don't know I think the harness is junk
• 55:09
  no but I'm saying like the rocker arm was thrown Oh it
• 55:12
  sounded like it was misfire. Okay.
• 55:14
  Extreme food sleep and you can figure it out of this.
• 55:17
  But you got to, who knows? I mean, the valves are shut.
• 55:24
  So like that stone is just dead for get the Sequoia Sukhoi for
• 55:31
  life, not for me, I miss it, I miss it.
• 55:34
  I mean before before this I guess within the first two or
• 55:39
  three years, I just slapped a GT 3071 on it.
• 55:44
  And I would take it out and have fun on the West Side Highway
• 55:47
  like late at night and just try and race people with expensive
• 55:50
  cars and burn their doors. This was before The for the this
• 55:55
  is what we're doing before the rebuild.
• 55:56
  Yeah, that's what I used to do. I used to do that with the STI
• 55:59
  also? Yeah, Queens Queens crew back in
• 56:03
  the day, Subaru, Queens crew. Why does that sound?
• 56:06
  Yeah, they were fucking wangan Runners.
• 56:08
  It just your the people that I hear was hanging out on snack or
• 56:12
  the white stone and West, New York, you're hearing people from
• 56:16
  West, New York, like dang, that's got cars flying.
• 56:20
  That's you. Used to rip around the highways
• 56:22
  and Rather fast speeds. Well, Ethan was always trying to
• 56:26
  hit the. He was always trying to get into
• 56:27
  the 200. Mile an hour Club?
• 56:29
  Yeah, that's what I initially. Had it on a bike.
• 56:32
  No, facet of kind of bike was 155.
• 56:35
  That's as fast as I've gone a car.
• 56:36
  That's the fastest. I've gone on a bike.
• 56:38
  I think I topped out my 240 back in the day.
• 56:41
  What's the fastest you've got to do to for you?
• 56:42
  Let's hear it right? Let him talk.
• 56:44
  Sorry, I don't know. I'm always be my speedometer
• 56:47
  only goes up to 110, but I was going way faster than 110.
• 56:50
  I clearly remember. When I was probably like, 60.
• 56:54
  If I had to take a guess. Maybe I'd say almost 14 to an
• 56:57
  exit. How do you know you took a to 40
• 56:59
  to 140? Dude, I'm telling you are using
• 57:02
  a GPS know. Like, you know, how the
• 57:04
  increments seat M. The increments that shit, almost
• 57:08
  lit on fire, my brother and I were in the car dude, when I
• 57:11
  took my 240, I know I was on 2008 and I was with Miyagi and
• 57:17
  he was, he was already flying in the RSA has a, all right.
• 57:20
  I guess we're doing this and I'm going the whole thing's fucking
• 57:23
  Rattling and shit. And the speedo is past the
• 57:27
  speedo is making another Circle and I'm like, I've never I've
• 57:30
  never seen this. Yeah.
• 57:33
  No. It's like getting to the
• 57:34
  stopper. Yeah, like for the mileage.
• 57:37
  Yeah. And I'm like, and all, I'm
• 57:39
  thinking to myself is I should not be doing this in this car
• 57:41
  right now is not set up for this like 56 degrees of camber in the
• 57:46
  front but the thing is, is you're already in it.
• 57:48
  So you're just like fucking yeah, no, I see and we went
• 57:51
  until we couldn't go, there was a turn and then we slow down.
• 57:53
  Was it and yeah, I was like, well, I'm probably not doing
• 57:56
  that again, but that was fun, dude.
• 57:58
  So I don't know if anybody else had this problem with an SR 20
• 58:02
  before or knows what the cause is.
• 58:04
  But I was getting excessive pressure build-up, that would
• 58:08
  blow the dip stick to the other state.
• 58:10
  It's a common problem I had a it's visually just blow by
• 58:14
  actually. I made like a little surprising.
• 58:17
  I mean eventually I would just zip tie it like down.
• 58:19
  Yeah. But on this day, it was like 98
• 58:22
  degrees out. Out.
• 58:24
  And like I don't know what this is so dumb because it was like a
• 58:27
  Ford Focus blue by me and I was like oh yeah oh god I think I'm
• 58:34
  going to show him what a hundred.
• 58:36
  Fucking ponies. Looks like you've been in his
• 58:38
  Speedo went all the way around all the way around, and I'm
• 58:41
  like, oh my God, now let off. And then Kenneth, my brother
• 58:45
  goes, but smells like fire and I'm like, no, no.
• 58:50
  I swear to you, if you ever see him.
• 58:53
  He goes, I tell him, he'll give it a second.
• 58:56
  It'll go away, it's fine, it's fine.
• 58:59
  And then he's then he's like it's getting worse.
• 59:01
  And I'm like, nah, it's fine, it's fine.
• 59:04
  Eventually the whole cabin fills with smoke.
• 59:07
  There's a complete excess of smoke everywhere coming out.
• 59:12
  Yeah. And I had a fire extinguisher in
• 59:13
  the car, so I own hook the fire extinguisher you're never
• 59:15
  supposed to just fling the hood open like tell I tell them to
• 59:19
  get out and get out, I look at the Flames, I like coming from
• 59:22
  on in on the end. Gin.
• 59:24
  Yeah, it was like on the downpipe said oil.
• 59:27
  Yes, that oil oil that's blowing out.
• 59:29
  So we've all our cars haven't lit on.
• 59:31
  Fire as somebody open up the, the hood slowly.
• 59:34
  I look at it, it burns off. I just wait like 20 minutes.
• 59:37
  I drive it home out of boost. It was the dipstick.
• 59:41
  It was just shot the oil cuticle oil, hot oil.
• 59:46
  No, go. Yeah.
• 59:48
  And at that speed is probably blowing it out.
• 59:50
  Yeah, and make sure you zip ties Those dipstick shut, they make
• 59:55
  Springs boil around to any exhaust components.
• 59:59
  Oh yeah, that's not good. No, terrible.
• 1:00:01
  Are you sure positive? I saw an option video once that
• 1:00:05
  they said that was good. Are you sure?
• 1:00:07
  Yeah. Yeah we still never did that
• 1:00:09
  video. You're Gonna Do which one once
• 1:00:12
  upon a time. We were going to do a option
• 1:00:14
  Style video with Ethan. We're going to try to hit some
• 1:00:18
  top speeds. Yeah, that's not gonna happen.
• 1:00:21
  Get out of here. No, you're not.
• 1:00:23
  Yeah, maybe in your drag build, actually.
• 1:00:26
  Yeah, my cars don't. We should do that to a little
• 1:00:29
  machine. Check.
• 1:00:29
  I see the cool YouTube video. Once I'm going to shout out Auto
• 1:00:35
  realize realize factory factory. Realize yeah, I love their
• 1:00:39
  videos, man. I love you.
• 1:00:41
  I love those dudes. Super funny videos.
• 1:00:43
  I still watch it from time to time.
• 1:00:45
  I think they're on a Hiatus or something.
• 1:00:46
  Right now. I've been following them since
• 1:00:48
  way back. Yeah.
• 1:00:49
  Like Teddy. Yeah.
• 1:00:52
  Teddy Stars always Broke. Yeah.
• 1:00:55
  Teddy's cars. My favorite Skyline.
• 1:00:59
  They got some in the country. Yeah, but definitely my favorite
• 1:01:02
  one, my favorite driven cars laundry, you know Jay is car.
• 1:01:05
  That's 13. Whatever he did it.
• 1:01:07
  Yeah. That video was awesome.
• 1:01:09
  Yeah. Like a cool little like mini
• 1:01:11
  machine check and like my God I know I'm probably saw it but I
• 1:01:15
  got a I got a real love that video man.
• 1:01:17
  But yeah both those cars were so we're gonna do like driver
• 1:01:22
  profile. Type stuff and I'm going to call
• 1:01:25
  it a machine check because it's can never let me get on these
• 1:01:28
  kinds of know. You telling me all these cool
• 1:01:29
  ideas and you never put, did I have a list of ideas?
• 1:01:33
  I'm not on there. Yes.
• 1:01:34
  Okay Carl so beating me Ivan is 300.
• 1:01:38
  Doesn't want to include that is 300.
• 1:01:39
  All right I guess I got another question for Ethan.
• 1:01:41
  Yeah, me too. What could you tell a young car
• 1:01:46
  enthusiasts that wants to wants to get into fabricating stuff
• 1:01:50
  and you know what, what some good first Advice tips, you know
• 1:01:55
  what, should he get? Which what welder, should he
• 1:01:56
  get? Where should we start?
• 1:01:58
  You know, he doesn't want to go to school.
• 1:02:00
  He just wants to be able to fix stuff.
• 1:02:01
  Does he like expensive stuff mean that somebody?
• 1:02:03
  No, you really don't. Thankfully, as technology has
• 1:02:08
  evolved there's a lot of companies from overseas that
• 1:02:11
  make pretty decent welders and have good service and warranty.
• 1:02:15
  What I mean, I'm a die-hard Miller guy but I do also have a
• 1:02:21
  Never Last TIG welder from several years ago and it really
• 1:02:24
  hasn't let me down. And from what I hear, they
• 1:02:27
  really haven't. Yeah.
• 1:02:29
  You just you had a pretty good. I mean, in all honesty, they got
• 1:02:32
  a good price point, but I mean, the first thing is definitely do
• 1:02:35
  your homework. Read the, I mean, the internet
• 1:02:38
  is your friend, just tons of resources out there.
• 1:02:40
  You can watch people's videos. There's lots of guys on YouTube
• 1:02:43
  that have great information, really teach you how to weld and
• 1:02:46
  what about you? And you don't really Need
• 1:02:49
  anything crazy. Definitely don't cheap out on
• 1:02:52
  the Safety products, like a good mask gloves.
• 1:02:55
  Okay, that's good. Tip right there.
• 1:02:57
  And there any specific YouTube people, you know, I mean there's
• 1:03:01
  a I don't really know too many by name.
• 1:03:04
  Yeah, we think of any off the top of my head, but I know
• 1:03:07
  there's lots of guys out there that break it down step by step.
• 1:03:11
  This is what I should have did. And I was younger.
• 1:03:12
  It really comes down to like watching that stuff, reading,
• 1:03:16
  trying to comprehend, what's going?
• 1:03:18
  On with different metals and Welding processes and the print,
• 1:03:21
  it's not just like slapping battle together.
• 1:03:23
  Yeah, that's Ethan's. Key is the prep.
• 1:03:26
  Yeah, clearly. I mean, he won't even work on
• 1:03:29
  anything unless it's people tell you, it's like 75% prep.
• 1:03:32
  Making sure everything's clean. Yeah.
• 1:03:34
  Granted. When you're fixing rust and
• 1:03:36
  stuff, things don't always work out that way.
• 1:03:38
  But yeah, perhaps it's like painting one of these days we
• 1:03:44
  should have a little shift welding sesh.
• 1:03:48
  Well doctor, I mean I'm right here you got anything about
• 1:03:50
  welding, dude. I'm not against doing a what do
• 1:03:53
  you call it? Some kind of a little mini
• 1:03:55
  course I'm nobody to teach. Well, if you keep coming down
• 1:03:59
  here, working every weekend, you'll be good.
• 1:04:01
  Well, don't idea weld-off, he's going to beat all this.
• 1:04:06
  Oh yeah, back to getting. No, no, yeah, yeah, practice
• 1:04:09
  practice, practice. Yeah, you got to keep
• 1:04:11
  practicing. You can't stop.
• 1:04:18
  Give you a hard time. Oh yeah.
• 1:04:19
  What's up with that? What's up with welding and like
• 1:04:21
  that? Nice bead dude, you got to stack
• 1:04:26
  them because there's sick welders out there and people see
• 1:04:28
  what like the top, like 1% of welders can do and but then they
• 1:04:32
  get, they get shut down. They get nervous, right?
• 1:04:34
  And they don't want to do it because they see those comments
• 1:04:36
  bunkers, dude, booger Wilds. Mean I drop pigeon shit.
• 1:04:39
  Sometimes it did you shit? Yeah, it happens.
• 1:04:43
  That's why you got a grinder. It's like the back end of a
• 1:04:48
  pencil? Yeah.
• 1:04:49
  Obviously, you want it to look good?
• 1:04:51
  Do it for a living? They do it.
• 1:04:52
  Five. Six days a week every day and
• 1:04:54
  then they go back, they go home and they, yeah, or they go home
• 1:04:58
  and they work on their car and it's like, well you've been
• 1:05:01
  doing this all day. So no, no wonder you your
• 1:05:04
  perfect out it. Yeah, I'm sure I could be a lot
• 1:05:06
  better if I did it all the time. But I have a real job that takes
• 1:05:08
  up. Yeah, of my time.
• 1:05:11
  Not that welding. Is it a real job?
• 1:05:12
  It's just like, okay, well, that's what you're going to do.
• 1:05:16
  Were you ever going to do a weld-off?
• 1:05:17
  Job or you. I did work at a.
• 1:05:19
  Yeah, you did. I ran out of water Jack for a
• 1:05:22
  while. Walk.
• 1:05:23
  But you didn't, you didn't go to school for it now, actually did
• 1:05:26
  go to school for two weeks to get certified and I ended up
• 1:05:29
  like the teachers figured out that I was like decent at
• 1:05:32
  welding and they just like, somehow ended up convincing me
• 1:05:36
  to teach the unruly kids in this like high school last class had
• 1:05:39
  a well. So it's like break it down for
• 1:05:41
  them. Listen to the teachers.
• 1:05:43
  But he's recently cool guy of person.
• 1:05:46
  Some other kid that's going to school.
• 1:05:47
  Did you drop out? No, I just went I was going to
• 1:05:50
  get certified and then I just like, didn't bother Sir, I
• 1:05:53
  didn't want to spend the five hundred bucks for like a pipe
• 1:05:55
  welding certification. Yeah, I got it back.
• 1:05:58
  Yeah, probably should have got it.
• 1:05:59
  Anyway right, I probably could again but yeah, running auto
• 1:06:03
  body shop. Now I don't have any time to
• 1:06:06
  that's thick but that's one of my things where it's like, I
• 1:06:08
  like to just get things to go. Like I feel like that would be
• 1:06:11
  easy for you. It's like me with tools and
• 1:06:13
  stuff, like, most of the stuff that I do or know how to do is
• 1:06:17
  not for anyone else. It's more out of necessity.
• 1:06:20
  Yeah, to be able to do it myself and not The pay somebody.
• 1:06:24
  Yes, that's why I was saying. I should have learned how to do
• 1:06:28
  this when I was younger. So he doesn't have to pay me
• 1:06:30
  because he's cheap. Yes, I don't recall in freezers
• 1:06:33
  line. That's the only reason, why,
• 1:06:35
  Frankie wishes he welds. Well, and it's annoying having
• 1:06:38
  to rely on someone that's like, oh, I can't do this because I
• 1:06:41
  got a weighty unreliable, you don't see my car here, either
• 1:06:46
  just because like, I'd rather, I'd rather just learn it.
• 1:06:48
  Yeah, we need to have faction work on my car for like the last
• 1:06:51
  six years, okay. The bankroll to drop it off
• 1:06:54
  here, waiting for that faction credit.
• 1:06:57
  Yeah, give me some factoring credit.
• 1:06:59
  Dude. No, no, no employee discount.
• 1:07:02
  The pod cast member is I don't get you, get discounts, Carl
• 1:07:05
  liver. Do you know what the economy is
• 1:07:07
  like, right now. It's Putin's fault.
• 1:07:12
  You know what? You know what flag do?
• 1:07:13
  You know what? They should support that raffle.
• 1:07:17
  You got going on right now. Oh yeah.
• 1:07:19
  Can we talk about this? All right let's yeah.
• 1:07:22
  Let's get in excluding shipping and tax.
• 1:07:24
  Yes it read the fine print. No but this is this is like not
• 1:07:29
  a lot of energy. Let me give you, let me give you
• 1:07:31
  the Figures were looking at, right figures for first of all
• 1:07:33
  the statistics. First of all, this is what the
• 1:07:35
  raffle is, if you buy any product on our website, every
• 1:07:39
  Dollar. You spent is an entry to win a
• 1:07:42
  set of s13 coilovers by stance. XR ones you hurry up in
• 1:07:46
  seventeen hundred dollars. Okay, so that's that's how it.
• 1:07:50
  Yeah, they're worth eighteen, hundred dollars.
• 1:07:52
  Okay, let's look at the orders. We have this month so far.
• 1:07:57
  I have eight orders pump those numbers up people it is what is
• 1:08:02
  it? The sixth?
• 1:08:02
  It's the 6th of August and only eight orders.
• 1:08:05
  If you guys did you guys order it lovers?
• 1:08:07
  And you guys order a sticker right now, you have a pretty
• 1:08:10
  good chance. I'm just saying so, and if you
• 1:08:14
  order, if you actually need parts and you order something
• 1:08:16
  like, you know, a radiator you down a lot more parts, a lot
• 1:08:20
  more points. What's wrong with me?
• 1:08:22
  Yeah, so now would be the time if you're thinking about buying
• 1:08:25
  something. I mean we got Cam's.
• 1:08:27
  We got everything. Watch that video.
• 1:08:28
  We posted. I go through a bunch of stuff we
• 1:08:30
  have in stock, it's awesome. Yeah.
• 1:08:32
  Or if you want to get a body kit and pre-order it now would be
• 1:08:34
  the time because that you probably just going to win based
• 1:08:36
  on that. There's one.
• 1:08:38
  I think there's one body kit order so far.
• 1:08:40
  So he's he's got a good chance right now, but down that body
• 1:08:44
  cake, gasps, he's gone. That's 13, I don't know what he
• 1:08:48
  has. But yeah.
• 1:08:50
  It's I'm just saying like someone's going to win these
• 1:08:52
  coilovers and it's going to be someone that bought a sticker
• 1:08:55
  like that. Be all.
• 1:08:57
  And even if they don't have an estimate in, they could sell
• 1:08:58
  them and I will, I will. If you're listening to this
• 1:09:03
  right now and you do win and you don't have enough 13, just
• 1:09:06
  contact me. And I'll see if we can get
• 1:09:08
  another set or something. I don't think we're going to be
• 1:09:10
  able to because they're usually not in stock, but if I can make
• 1:09:13
  it happen, I will will get a different set of Stan's coils.
• 1:09:15
  Wow, that oil filter over there is looking pretty great.
• 1:09:18
  Yep, exactly. Oil filters guys, you can just
• 1:09:20
  buy an oil filter. We saw oil too.
• 1:09:23
