0:00
Welcome back everybody to another episode of the After
0:02
Hours podcast. On today's episode we have Prism
0:06
Mike. Prism Mike is a YouTube
0:08
sensation. He's a car YouTube.
0:10
He's been pretty much tearing cars down, rebuilding them for a
0:15
few years now. I believe the the first big time
0:19
or big project he worked on was his 240SX right hand drive
0:24
conversion car that was crashed into and it was T boned and the
0:29
car was basically scrap metal. Anyone else would have threw
0:33
this car away it they would have never tried to rebuild his car.
0:38
And what Mike did was he he didn't want to give up on the
0:41
car, so he took the whole car apart piece by piece and he
0:44
rebuilt it. He he basically filmed this
0:47
whole entire process. It's on his YouTube channel and
0:50
you guys should definitely check it out.
0:51
He's been a big source of inspiration for a bunch of the
0:54
people I know around me and I. This conversation was amazing,
0:59
so I hope you guys enjoy it and I hope you guys get inspired as
1:01
well. Don't forget we are giving away
1:04
a set of XR1 coilovers this month on our website.
1:07
Every $5 spent is one entry, and if you buy faction merch, you
1:10
get double entries. Time's running out, so make sure
1:12
you get those orders in fast. All right guys, let's hear a
1:15
word from our sponsors and then jump right into this episode.
1:18
This podcast is sponsored by East Coast Drift School.
1:21
East Coast Drift School is a driving school focused on
1:23
learning the art of drifting, conveniently located at the
1:26
greatest drifting facility in the United States, Raceway Park
1:29
in Englishtown, NJ. Raceway Park currently has three
1:33
tracks, so you will have a few options to choose from when
1:35
setting up your lessons. Chris Knapp, who is part of the
1:37
Raceway Park family, will be your teacher as he guides you
1:40
through car setup and technique. If you are more of a seasoned
1:43
driver, E Coaster School is also the place where you can get some
1:45
extra seat time. Chris allows private track and
1:48
no instructing as well so that you can get some tests and tune
1:51
runs in before that big event or competition you have coming up.
1:54
Instead of spending the night dodging the police with your
1:56
boys, consider signing up with East Coast Drift School the next
1:59
time they release their schedule.
2:00
Chris releases the schedule on the 16th of every month through
2:03
Instagram. Make sure to check them out,
2:05
give them a follow and shoot over a direct message when you
2:08
are ready to set up a date. You can find them on Instagram
2:10
at East Coast Drift School. Chase Bays has been a household
2:13
name in our industry for over 15 years, supplying us with tons of
2:17
fluid power products such as power steering cooler kits, oil
2:21
catch cans, engine oil coolers, hydraulic handbrake kits, and of
2:25
course they're dual piston brake booster delete kits which fit a
2:28
wide variety of vehicles. The core values of Chase Bays is
2:32
function, simplicity, quality, quality and aesthetic.
2:36
All of their products are user friendly and easy to install
2:38
while of course looking the part.
2:40
The quality of their products has only increased over the
2:42
years and now with Front Street Drift Club being a sponsored
2:45
team of Chase Bays, you can guarantee the products are
2:48
stress tested as well. I'm currently digging their
2:51
compact intercooler sprayer reservoir kit.
2:54
This kit includes a pump and pigtail to wire it up to any
2:57
switch you want. I've been a big fan of sleek
2:59
looking OEM style intercooler sprayers ever since Subaru had
3:02
one on the STI and this kit provides you with what you need
3:06
to get started. If you need any more info on any
3:08
of their products, make sure to take a look at their product
3:10
descriptions. They have some of the most
3:12
detailed descriptions I've read with tons of information.

3:28
This podcast is also sponsored by Automotive Specialty Wraps.
3:31
Automotive Specialty Wraps is a company specializing in paint
3:34
protection, film vehicle wraps, ceramic coatings, and window
3:37
tinting located in Fairlawn, New Jersey.
3:40
Owned and operated by car enthusiasts and Drifters, their
3:43
technicians have over 10 years of experience in the industry.
3:45
Ceramic coating is one of their specialties and is the service
3:48
they offer that caught my eye first.
3:50
In the 60s, NASA and the US military formulated a ceramic
3:54
coating to be used on spacecraft and planes.
3:57
This coating would be able to protect them from harsh
3:59
conditions. Following that, in the early
4:02
2000s, ceramic coatings were revamped to be used in the
4:06
automotive industry. These coatings give your cars
4:09
paint extra protection while also making it shine.
4:12
Wax only lasts for a couple of weeks at most, but ceramic
4:15
coatings last for a year or longer.
4:17
They perform a full 2 stage Polish to the car beforehand to
4:20
make sure the vehicle is in perfect condition before
4:22
applying the coating. This service can also be applied
4:25
to wheels, which would be the best thing you can do to a new
4:27
set of wheels you just picked up if you are looking to protect
4:30
them for years to come. As mentioned, they also offer
4:33
window tinting and paint protection film installations.
4:35
Now everyone knows what window tinting is, but these guys offer
4:38
carbon or ceramic tinting depending on your needs.
4:42
Paint protection film or PPF is a great idea for those new
4:45
vehicle owners that want to protect their paint before it
4:48
gets chipped up driving down the highway.
4:50
I always suggest having at least the front end done in PPF like
4:54
the front bumper, fenders and hood.
4:56
ASW is now offering mobile detailing and this is no basic
5:00
car wash, it's more of a 2 hour spa session for your car using
5:03
special soaps designed to extract toxins out of your
5:06
paint. And the best part is they will
5:08
come to your house, job or even our shop when your car is being
5:11
serviced to get the wash done. From protecting your tow rigs
5:14
exterior to full delivery installations on your drift car,
5:17
they have you covered. You can contact them at
5:20
automotive specialtywraps.com and make sure to mention our
5:23
podcast. They are currently offering 10%
5:25
off mobile washes and tinting services for our listeners.
5:29
Limitless Auto Fab is a fabrication shop and retailer
5:31
located in Illinois. They produce bash bars and catch
5:35
cans for a bunch of popular models in the drifting
5:37
community. We started selling their
5:39
products earlier this year and have heard nothing but great
5:41
things since. Limitless Bash bars are honestly
5:44
the industry standard right now. Fabricated from inch and a half
5:47
mild steel tubes, these bars are designed to take the impact of
5:50
light collisions in order to avoid or minimize damage to your
5:53
body or frame. My favorite part about these
5:55
bash bars is that they are designed in a way that helps
5:57
hold most aftermarket bumpers up at the correct height, unlike a
6:01
lot of other aftermarket bars that require you to either Weld
6:04
additional brackets on or install those big foam rubber
6:08
pieces to raise the bumpers up to avoid bumper sag.
6:11
This is a huge pet peeve of mine when installing bash bars at the
6:14
shop, so I'm really glad about this feature.
6:18
Gone are the days of trying to keep your rusty rear factory
6:20
crash bar because you are worried about bumper fitment
6:22
issues with an aftermarket one. Their bars also come with
6:25
jacking points and an optional license plate brackets, so
6:29
everything you need is right there from the start.
6:31
Limitless Auto also sells catch cans for a handful of specific
6:34
models. These cans are built in house
6:36
and chassis specific. We have used these cans before
6:39
in the shop with no issues and they look great as well.
6:43
The guys over at Limitless are on social media as well at
6:46
Limitless under score Auto under score Fab.
6:49
So please make sure to check out their Instagram and give them a
6:51
follow. They post photos of all the
6:53
drift cards using their products from Front Street Drift Club to

Well, welcome everybody to the Faction After Hours podcast.
8:14
We're here to bring you another episode tonight.
8:17

8:25
We got prize a mic in the building.
8:27
Everybody there's a live audience.
8:29
Out. Oh yeah, you can hear it on the
8:31
fucking. It's so awkward when we don't.
8:34
Now I'm like. When they don't When the guest
8:36
doesn't have the headphones on which?
8:38
Is thanks for having me, yeah. Seriously.
8:40
No problem. Thank you.
8:40
You're on a cross country road trip and you managed to take a
8:44
pit stop here so. Thank you.
8:46
Yeah, thank you. I had to stop by like.
8:48
You brought a gang. We, we, we were having a good
8:50
time. Unfortunately, now we have to do
8:53
a lot. Yeah.
8:55
But the room isn't as big as we could have like nine people in
9:00
here. Yeah, we, I like to have four
9:03
people in here, but sometimes, sometimes it gets to like 6:00,
9:06
but when it's like like 8, it's like, all right.
9:08
Dude, it's a party when it's you can't hear that.
9:10
More than three's a party. Let's be real, yeah?
9:13
It's just like with a podcast, you can't hear anything at that
9:15
point. It's just people yelling and
9:17
you're like, OK, like this is too much chaos.
9:19
But it is more fun, obviously, when there's more people.
9:22
Here Yeah, and we just got done talking about how I was talking
9:26
about the Gloria and obviously people know you from a lot of
9:29
things the 180, the Z now, which is do you know about the.
9:34
ZI know a little bit about the Z because we saw you driving home
9:37
at one point. Yeah, yeah.
9:39
Frankie was driving. He's like, what is up with that
9:41
thing? I'm like, yeah, that's AZ
9:42
because that's running 13 suspension in the front.
9:44
It's this guy, Mike. Also, I got to say this.
9:47
Johnny Minaka was here last night.
9:48
I don't know if you know Johnny, but he's a friend of ours.
9:50
And I told him you were coming. And he's like, oh, cool man.
9:54
Yeah, I don't think I talk mad shit about him, but I know I
9:57
find about Front Street was talking shit about his car or
9:59
something in front of his face or some shit like that.
10:01
And I was like, yeah, and then you walked in and you saw Johnny
10:03
and you were like, yeah, I just got roasted by Front Street for
10:06
like 1/2 hour or some shit. It was just funny as fuck.
10:10
I was like, yeah, that checks out.
10:12
They're just an asshole. You work mad hard on that.
10:14
It's like. I mean, the welds were kind of
10:16
sloppy, I'm not gonna lie. They were, but they're
10:18
structural. But I didn't, like smooth them
10:20
out. You know what I mean?
10:21
I don't. Even think it'd be anything like
10:22
that, I thought I was just gonna be like, oh, Joshua Lee's like,
10:24
oh, why'd you do this? You should have just bought S13
10:26
or some shit like that. That's all he cares about.
10:30
Z32 is slept on. All I got to say.
10:32
Dude on bone Max now. I want to hear about this
10:35
because no one really drifts those cars.
10:37
Yeah, no. And you think it's a pretty good
10:40
car? That's the next chassis, I
10:41
think. Really.
10:42
I don't want to tell people that, yeah.
10:44
It's the next chassis. If you keep mentioning it, yeah,
10:46
that'd probably be the only way, because I feel like no one, no
10:50
one ever fucking fucks with those cars.
10:51
I don't know why. Well, it's not as much
10:53
aftermarket support for like drift oriented things, you know
10:56
what I mean? But so much shit is like
10:58
interchangeable, like the rear arms and everything.
11:00
Oh yeah, it's pretty similar, although front subframe is
11:03
unique to Z32. Yeah, they have like the double
11:06
wishbone. And it's like R32 style kind of.
11:08
Yeah, that shit sucks. That's why I was like McPherson
11:11
Front. We're good.
11:12
I. I was about to say, that's why I
11:14
feel like you did the conversion.
11:16
Frankie literally just said all the rear arms.
11:19
Yeah, the front is totally crazy.
11:21
Yeah, you. Mean like that.
11:25
That availability for front suspension for drifting I feel
11:28
like is huge because then you can just switch out some arms.
11:30
I mean that's not the first car that people put like people take
11:33
crested as put all S13 shit on the front and like other car
11:36
there's always S13 stuff because that's like the most sought
11:39
after drift car. So that has all the, you know,
11:42
modifications you need, all the aftermarket support.
11:44
So how hard was that to do that swap?
11:48
Oh. It wasn't too bad.
11:50
I have a friend that had a chopped up S14 so I went to his
11:54
place, welded together some old suspension, basically made a jig
11:58
out of it. OK so then I after I had the
12:01
jigs that bolt into the subframe mount tension arm bracket and
12:05
the strut tower I brought it to my place.
12:07
Took all my suspension off the Z.
12:10
I bolted the jig up to the Z subframe and the Z traction arm
12:14
mounting and then it I could see where the top hat was and where
12:18
I needed to cut. So you kind of relocated where
12:21
the strut tower? Oh yeah, OK, it's exactly S14
12:24
spec. God, that sounds so.
12:27
You have. Photos of that on your
12:28
Instagram. Probably, Yeah.
12:31
Yeah, I got the pictures and you're.
12:32
Going to get put to work since you are at we.
12:34
Have Eddie manning the ship now today.
12:36
Yeah, no Malcolm Cam, but an Eddie Cam.
12:39
Yeah, but this is the first, this is one of the first after
12:41
hours, that is during hours there's.
12:43
Eddie Yeah, there you. Go yeah, my posts are kind of
12:47
like dumps, so they're not like 1.
12:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe he can find it.
12:51
I mean, Eddie, you can. Yeah, you can look out here.
12:52
And try to find this year and a half ago.
12:54
That fabricating or that involvement is to me.
12:59
I'm thinking about it like algebra.
13:01
You remember PEMDAS? Yeah, 'cause then you, you had
13:04
the whole thing, right? So then you bolted it up and now
13:06
you're like, OK, let me just cut the car to make it.
13:09
Yeah, One day, yeah, I drove up. Yeah, he lived an hour away,
13:13
too. That included that job.
13:15
Like I drove up in the Z or No, it might have been the integral.
13:19
I don't know. Had my welder and everything
13:20
loaded in the car. Made the jig, packed it all up,
13:24
drove down, put it on my Z, cut it out, welded the new shock
13:28
towers. This is welded new shock towers
13:31
to the OK so you didn't just like cut a hole you.
13:34
Just. Oh no, no, did all the cats in
13:35
there? Wow.
13:37
Yeah, dude, I had my friend. Watch this shit.
13:39
That works at well he doesn't work there anymore, but some
13:42
place where he cut out plasma. You know, S13 style S14 style
13:47
shock towers. And you were, I mean, dude,
13:50
after all the work you did to the to the 180, I'm going to
13:52
call it 180. I don't know if it's 2:40, but
13:54
keep going down 80. Oh.
13:55
Wait, no, too far. There's.
13:59
Keep going up. There is just a certain level of
14:04
wait. When it's lowered.
14:06
Down. Before that, keep going down
14:10
down. Maybe it's gone.
14:13
It's between this one and the lowered 1 and they're all.
14:18
Like I said, they're. All dumb.
14:20
They'll be a random photo in the dump.
14:22
Oh, I see what you're saying. OK.
14:24
So yeah, check, check someone. This one with the S14?
14:27
That's a dump. That's a yellow 14 right there
14:29
if I've ever seen one. And where do you do most of the
14:32
works at your house? Friend's houses.
14:35
Brother house. OK.
14:37
Mom's house. Damn.
14:39
In the parking lot. Like what?
14:41
Yeah. Looks goofy.
14:45
As doesn't it? Why with no volume to it
14:49
Definitely looks a little because we're a fan of this car
14:52
here, right? Are we not?
14:53
I like a Z30. Two, you like Z32?
14:55
Holy shit bro what is this my? Workhorse.
15:00
No, but OK, just a fucking. Car filled with fucking bricks
15:03
this is. What we were talking about
15:04
before, I'm telling that that car, right, this car was a
15:08
culmination from what I from watching it from the outside in,
15:11
you learned a bunch of stuff on the 180 and you were basically
15:14
like, yeah, I could do this. Now was it?
15:17
Is that kind of? Yeah, so the Gloria was kind of
15:19
a side project. Someone just sent me the link on
15:21
Snapchat. They're like, bro, this has your
15:23
name all over it. I'm like, what you mean I click
15:26
it, click the link. It's that car, Y 32 with a half
15:30
cut included. Oh.
15:32
Yeah, so it came with the rear clip.
15:34
Oh. So the car was that fucked up
15:36
when you got it? Yeah.
15:37
OK. And then what the fuck are you
15:39
I? Was like my friend Omar, we're
15:44
doing the Sr. swap on my friend's S13 hatch or whatever,
15:48
and my friend Omar, that's the house we're at.
15:50
Need to move all these bricks around.
15:52
Hey, we can take. Let's see how many bricks we can
15:56
fit in it. It's funny because so he said
15:59
this is right up your alley and he's like, he has half of a car
16:01
and a broken car. So it's like literally perfect.
16:04
And then did you end up fixing this thing too?
16:06
Yeah, you should see it 3-4 months.
16:08
Looks amazing that's. Crazy dude.
16:12
So so you got into all this shit mainly because of that 180 or
16:16
chassis. I'm going to call it 180 but
16:17
it's probably 2. 40 Wait, can you click that?
16:19
Middle one. I've done this before though.
16:21
You did OK. There's a spread like this with
16:25
my Integra. I have a four door and a 2 door
16:27
that's been chopped up. OK, so this, so you have a
16:32
history of this? Yeah.
16:34
This wasn't my most recent I think.
16:35
What was the motivation? You you just fuck a car up once
16:38
and you were like, I need to, I need to make this work.
16:40
That's. Precisely it, yeah.
16:42
Being broke and not want to get rid of stuff dude.
16:44
Yes, Mike, thank you. That's.
16:46
That's right up Carl's Alley. I'm.
16:47
Telling you This is why I like Mike's channel.
16:50
Yeah, you did the Z in one day. This took a little bit longer,
16:55
but you also did some care to it where I was like damn, he's like
16:59
lining shit up now and I'm like what the fuck is he doing?
17:02
Was there anything wrong with the Z32 or no it was just you?
17:04
Oh I got that car as a part out. There was nothing left of it,
17:07
had tan interior, no drivetrain, all the windows were broken.
17:12
So basically if somebody has like an old project that's just
17:15
sitting around in their yard, they should hit you up.
17:17
No, not anymore. I don't have any more storage.
17:20
I have so many cars now that I have some at my neighbor's house
17:23
down the street. A year or I have.
17:26
At my dealer or not my dealer, My friend's dealership just in
17:29
his Mercedes parking lot. Yikes.
17:31
And then, I don't know, there's other cars in other places too,
17:34
but. Hey making it work the whole my.
17:37
I mean, yeah, this makes sense now because I was telling you
17:38
about my friend earlier that that's into your channel and he,
17:41
and he was saying that he was like, he's like, dude, he, he
17:44
takes shit that like most people would get rid of and then he
17:46
like makes it work and he and he rebuilds it all.
17:49
For me, it's sick when you can make nothing look like
17:52
something. Yeah, that's like, oh, you put
17:54
in some elbow grease here. You know what I mean?
17:56
Like you had to work for that. And, and now it makes a little
17:59
bit more sense because I remember when you were doing the
18:01
2:40, I was like, I was one of those people.
18:04
I was like, why would he bother wasting his time?
18:06
But now it makes more sense because this is kind of like
18:08
something that you enjoyed doing this.
18:10
Is fun to me. Yeah, so now it makes sense.
18:13
But I mean, also when I saw that 2:40, I was like, I was like,
18:16
yeah, I mean, you can obviously you could fix it, but I guess
18:19
most people don't realize that. They just think cars are like,
18:21
oh, if it's total is totaled. Like they don't understand how
18:24
cars are kind of made. That's the same car.
18:26
Yeah, that's fucking nice. That thing was.
18:29
Fucked up. And that's the it's the same
18:32
colour code, but shade too. That's Omar, the guy's house I
18:35
did the job at. OK, I like that colour.
18:38
That's nice. We had one of these cars we had.
18:41
What did we have here? Did you see it that week?
18:42
What was it, Eddie? Was it called?
18:44
It wasn't the Gloria, was it? Or was it the?
18:46
That is a Gloria though, right? What's, what's the what's the
18:48
brother? The brother's name?
18:49
Cedric. Cedric.
18:51
I keep calling it Cedric. I'm like, yo, get this Cedric
18:54
the fuck out of here because we couldn't find.
18:56
Somehow I found parts for that thing that was like the most
18:58
miracle job I've ever done here in my life.
19:00
Like, Oh really? Yeah.
19:02
Cuz I usually if we get something like that in, it's
19:03
like, all right, we're gonna be waiting a while.
19:05
The car's gonna be sitting around, but I was like, so
19:07
motivated to get that the fuck out of here.
19:09
I found brakes. I found yeah, suspension
19:12
components and. Surprisingly, parts are cheap
19:14
for those cars. Yeah.
19:15
What? And they're readily available.
19:16
Yeah, What Car is the US you? Even know more than me.
19:20
I don't really remember. I think it was.
19:22
Like I think it's Q45, but that's the Y 33 I thought.
19:26
How might be what I was working on.
19:27
Oh really? Yeah, I don't remember which one
19:29
it was. I don't know.
19:30
But yeah. It was like a mixture and like
19:32
the brake rotors were hard to as fucked as you know the JDM cars.
19:35
The brake rotors are always like different sizes and shit.
19:37
I don't know why do you? Have a goal to have a shop mic
19:39
because in that because that Gloria, there's a video where
19:43
Mike is in I think it was Omar, that guy you just shot.
19:47
Yeah, showed us in his backyard and he's just in the backyard,
19:51
far in the corner of the backyard just cutting this thing
19:54
and like I'm like, what is this guy doing, dude?
19:57
And when winter hits, like right now, that's when you're like,
20:00
you need a shot somewhere to go. I did that whole job in
20:02
November. Oh my.
20:04
God. Yeah, OK.
20:06
Yeah, you were cold. You gotta be.
20:10
That's the. Midwest life, I don't know.
20:11
They're, they're built different.
20:13
I guess that's. Built a little.
20:14
Different. Yeah, for sure.
20:16
Is there a freezer mic shop in the future?
20:18
So that's the goal of this year. Oh nice.
20:21
I, I guess a little backtrack here, but when I got in that
20:26
T-bone at that time, I had I guess approval to get a house
20:31
loan, but I lost my job from the T-bone because I was off work
20:35
too long because I was injured, whatever.
20:38
So I was like, all right, I'm going to just try and rebuild my
20:39
S13. I have a little, little bit of
20:41
change to get me by had my down payment.
20:44
So I was like, all right, scrape by, try and see what I can do
20:47
with YouTube, really take it seriously and it was taking off.
20:50
So I'm like, all right, let's keep building the S13.
20:52
I didn't know if it was going to be fixed, but I was like, hey,
20:55
if it lines up, it lines up, you know what I mean?
20:59
I found all part out cars, a lot of homies hooked me up with some
21:02
free parts. So shout out to anyone that
21:04
helped me out along the way. And yeah, I just kept growing,
21:08
but I wasn't making enough money to like really, I can buy a
21:12
house, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah.
21:14
But so I finally have like a two year mark where it's like, all
21:17
right, I can show I made money now I can get approval.
21:20
OK. And since you're self-employed,
21:22
technically through YouTube, it's a lot harder.
21:25
So it's been a process, but we're figuring it out.
21:27
So you're trying to get a house and a shop?
21:29
Yeah, OK. Like 11 like.
21:31
One big yeah. Yeah, that would be ideal, yeah.
21:34
Dude, I hope, I hope you get that.
21:36
I appreciate it because it's the dream, bro.
21:40
Like that, it's the dream. The fact that you've been doing
21:44
so well with YouTube and you don't even have a fucking proper
21:46
shop like that's that's I've. Been bouncing around houses too.
21:49
I don't like sleep in the same spot every night.
21:51
Yeah, for real. Yeah, That that explains this
21:54
road trip just so. Yeah.
21:55
All right, I'm out. Oh yeah, this is.
21:56
Normal. I love this.
21:57
Yeah. Every day is different, yeah.
21:59
I could boot bop around anywhere too.
22:01
Man, I would love that. Boot bop, I'm good.
22:05
Haley, that's good. For like for like a week or two.
22:08
After two weeks, I'm like, Nope, need to go back to New Jersey
22:11
right now. But like those two weeks,
22:12
something like this is great. Yeah.
22:14
Yeah. But then right once that two
22:16
week mark hits, it's like all of a sudden something clicks and
22:18
I'm like, yeah, I got to go home.
22:21
Yeah. I don't know what what that is.
22:22
You know, I guess it's what do they call it fucking.
22:24
Homesickness. Yeah, literally.
22:25
It's literally called homesickness.
22:27
And that's, yeah, it does happen.
22:29
Like you think it'll never happen until you're there and
22:30
then you're like, oh shit. I think you guys are different.
22:33
I think you. Just got to I'm just busy.
22:35
I don't know if you can relate to this, but I like to think
22:37
about what I'm going to do already.
22:40
Like after I'm doing this thing I got to do, I'm want to think
22:43
about the next one Otherwise, and this happens too.
22:47
Otherwise, you start thinking about the past and then you
22:51
start to just get out. Don't do that.
22:53
Depressed you can't live in. The past, you get absolutely
22:55
depressed about everything you could have done, everything you
22:58
didn't do, and then you're like crap.
23:00
And then you lose the opportunity to do those things.
23:02
In the future, yeah, that's like my biggest thing.
23:04
Like if I'm if I'm home alone for too long, it's just fucking
23:08
start thinking about the past and I'm like, Nope, I got to go
23:10
to the shop. I got to start doing.
23:11
I can't be like I can't let my mind just sit like it sucks.
23:15
I see. Yeah, especially with YouTube,
23:18
Like how how are you going to make a next?
23:19
What? What video are you going to make
23:21
next? Oh yeah, I've never.
23:22
Clocked it out. It's hard.
23:24
It's hard to sleep actually coding.
23:26
Dude, I mean, you're, you're a business owner.
23:28
So yeah, it's. And the business is you.
23:31
Right. And I I do the filming, editing,
23:33
planning parts, finding the wrenching.
23:36
The whole channel is just one person.
23:38
I'm 29. Same age, right?
23:42
Yeah, that's why the that's why the interests of like House and
23:46
all this shit becomes real. Yeah.
23:48
Because you're like, Oh my gosh, you turning 30 July.
23:53
July. I'm turning 30 next month.
23:56
Yeah. Enjoy your 20s.
23:57
And then I'm like and then I'm like one of a month.
23:59
But then. But then as an example, it's so
24:02
easy to be like, what have I done in the past 30 years of my
24:07
or maybe we'll call 20 because then 10 you could lock in at 10
24:10
years old. That's what they.
24:11
Want you to do? Bro, you could lock in at 60
24:13
years old all of a sudden you didn't do anything your whole
24:15
life and then boom and now you fucking own a business but my.
24:18
Joints and and. I'm just saying like, it's never
24:20
too late. Yeah, never too late.
24:22
Like people, people always act like it's too like, oh, I'm 30,
24:25
I'm 35. It's no.
24:27
How long has the channel been going for like like.
24:29
Since the T-bone is when I took it seriously, yeah.
24:32
Yeah. So I want to get back to that a
24:33
little bit because I, I just, I, I'm a little ignorant to it,
24:36
unfortunately. And it seems like I'm surrounded
24:38
by people that just watch your, your stuff.
24:39
I don't really watch it a lot. Thousands of pinch.
24:41
Welds. I watch this guy drill.
24:43
Dude, different, yeah. Dude I remember seeing that
24:45
photo up top. Real bits too.
24:47
He'll be like, this gets a little bit better than the last
24:49
one, and I'm like, yeah. Fuck.
24:53
This drill bits a little bit. Better I get that.
24:55
I feel that. I'll be burning through them.
24:57
Yeah. What are your favorite drill
24:59
bits? Who were?
25:01
They I don't know. Only.
25:02
Gloria, I had it. Is it?
25:03
Erwin. It might have been I feel like.
25:06
Early. Drove $50 a bit.
25:07
That thing lasted me just half the car.
25:10
Dude, you got already numb with fucking cutting oil and that's
25:13
it. That's the trick.
25:14
Yeah, the cutting oil. I got too lazy.
25:16
Yeah, it's annoying. You don't want to.
25:18
Have to do that $2.00 drill. Bits, good drill bits here are
25:21
expensive, man, but yeah, so so you you get in this accident.
25:25
First of all, I want to talk about your because you said you
25:26
were injured. Was it bad I.
25:28
Mean there's blood on my face, but that honestly didn't really
25:31
affect Oh. I saw that photo.
25:33
I remember. Yeah, that shit was crazy.
25:36
That's photo insane that I know probably not drifting related,
25:40
but that photo is so drifting. That's gnarly.
25:42
Like it's just like, perfect. Glad to see that you were OK.
25:45
Yeah. Yeah, it shifted a disc in my
25:48
spine. Damn.
25:50
OK, so it was bad. That's a really bad accident
25:52
break and then that when you drifted it at fucking US air,
25:55
right? I got a lot of heat for that.
25:57
Yeah, I remember. I remember it, Oh my.
26:00
God, it's so unsafe. Oh.
26:02
My God. Like yo, we're literally
26:04
throwing the cars sideways. Yeah, that's the car.
26:10
That's cool, man. Is it weird to think back on it
26:12
now? Like I know you've been probably
26:14
asked this for the past anywhere you go now because it's it's a
26:17
common topic to bring up. It's how do I say this?
26:21
The car kind of sits in my garage.
26:22
I didn't work on it this much this year.
26:24
We put a cage in it. That was it.
26:27
And now I just see it in the garage.
26:28
I'm like, it's it's there. It's comforting because it's
26:32
like it's the same car. It exists.
26:34
That's all I wanted. Yeah.
26:36
For the car to exist. I got the same feel after
26:37
driving it, after repairing it, that's all I could ask for.
26:41
So I guess that that's it. That's ARV in there too, yeah.
26:46
Is it actually? Is it actually a 180SX because
26:48
it's right hand drive? I saw that.
26:49
No, I OK, so The thing is I bought this.
26:52
No, I straight traded that car seven years before the T-bone.
26:56
Whoa. For I had an Ek coupe OK
27:00
straight trade and it was a single Cam pig nose factory
27:04
manual OK bone stock pig nose with lip car white hatch.
27:09
And you swapped it. Right hand Dr. swapped.
27:11
OK. And you did firewall everything
27:13
like that? Yeah, firewall swap.
27:14
Of course you did because you can rebuild cars that were T
27:17
bones so I would assume you would do a firewall it.
27:19
Probably wasn't the best right hand drive swap.
27:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if I didn't do that,
27:23
probably wouldn't be here, yeah. That's why I looked 'cause.
27:26
I was like, I was like, the door's fucked up.
27:27
I looked and I saw your stream was on the other side.
27:29
I was like, oh, OK. Thank God.
27:31
Yeah, that would have been Imagine you did.
27:33
Do you think about that sometimes?
27:34
Oh yeah. If he literally.
27:36
Didn't right hand drive swap? But he'd be dead.
27:37
That's the was it. Paradox, they call it or
27:39
whatever. It's like if that didn't happen
27:42
and there's so obviously, yeah, there's a lot of.
27:44
Intervals like The thing is, I didn't even.
27:46
Make a video about everything before the T-bone with that car.
27:50
Like this is the reason I wanted to keep that car alive.
27:52
Just. I guess the trauma bond is the
27:53
worst. Yeah, yeah.
27:54
Like that car got stolen? From me while right hand Dr.
27:57
swapping it my drivetrain got stolen while it was out of the
28:00
car like it's been through some stuff I had to steal my car back
28:04
and my friends like yeah I. Didn't I Don't know that I know.
28:08
And. Now I'm like fuck yeah.
28:10
'Cause. This is this.
28:11
Right here is sitting in this chair.
28:12
This is your number one person who it's like, don't get rid of
28:15
it. I'm going to rebuild it, I am
28:18
saying. A little bit of a do not yet do
28:20
not even. Get started with you.
28:21
Saw fucking Damon's car. Back there, it's like, why'd you
28:23
buy that? I don't know.
28:24
And then don't even. Get me started about Greenie in
28:27
the back. Which one?
28:29
Oh, the truck, Yeah, yeah, I got my dad's diesel truck from 2001
28:32
and I won't, I won't let it. Who he was going to trade.
28:34
It in or something and then he said what did you say?
28:37
No, my dad was going to throw. It out.
28:38
That's what he was going to do. Oh, my dad's the type.
28:41
He's the opposite. I see.
28:42
I see like throw everything out no matter what it's like Dad,
28:44
you can probably sell that for seven grand.
28:46
Throw it out. My dad's like you to sell these
28:48
cars. You're building no?
28:51
Yeah, well, you're my dad would collapse if you saw me doing
28:54
the. Shit you were doing, That's
28:55
crazy. He'd be like.
28:56
What the fuck? Are you doing in there?
28:58
But it's yeah, no, it's amazing. Then you, then you said.
29:01
No, give me that. I grew up in that truck.
29:04
I want that truck. That was it.
29:05
Yeah, I grew. Up in that truck, I respect that
29:07
it's sick though. You said that too.
29:08
You said that and I. Was like.
29:10
Look at Frankie. That was the only reason.
29:12
If it wasn't for that, I would I wouldn't have did it because I
29:15
mean. You got way more excuses.
29:18
Than I do, but I I feel like having that I'm like I hate
29:22
saying I don't have enough time, but that is such a massive
29:25
project for me because I got I got I want to frame swap it I
29:28
want to cab swap it probably or fix the cab Is it rusty yeah the
29:32
drivetrain is pretty good, but everything else is fucked so
29:35
it's like now I got to take tear down to fucking 25 hundreds in
29:38
this shop while I'm while it's functioning and it's like it's
29:42
kind of. Insane to me.
29:43
So it's like it's not a priority, you know what I mean?
29:45
It's like, I don't know, you know, but I get I get why you
29:48
would keep it. You have, I mean, you said you
29:50
had it for seven years before, right.
29:52
So you have a lot of sentimental value with that car.
29:54
Yeah, it's come a. Long way and I the big reason I
29:59
think that it took off other than the photo is that I had
30:02
just finished the car after those years.
30:04
I had daily driven it throughout going to college, junior
30:07
college, got my bachelor degree in it.
30:09
Like it's got a lot of fond memories, you know?
30:12
RB25 swab the kit, went through a few kit eras, all the
30:16
suspension. Did you get into drifting?
30:18
With that car too. Oh yeah, yeah, that's my only
30:20
drift. Car, yeah, Daily driven and
30:22
drift car, yeah, I would. I would probably.
30:26
If you didn't, you'd probably be, I don't know you you would.
30:29
You'd miss it and you would have regret of it too.
30:32
That's like my S13. Too, I mean, I, I, I, I went to
30:34
College in that car too. I like I, I have some, I have a
30:37
lot of memories in that car. So I understand what you're
30:39
saying. Yeah, Yeah.
30:40
I mean, it would suck if I if it got crashed into and I had to
30:43
get rid of it. It wouldn't be easy for me, I
30:45
think. I think there's like types of
30:47
people like that, like, like me, like you like, I think because
30:50
then you look at Tom Nazaro and he'll throw that shit in a
30:52
dumpster. So, you know, because that was
30:54
that. 1st. One was his first car from like,
30:56
literally his first car, like 16.
30:59
Yeah. And he gave it to B Hall.
31:01
And he just gave it a fuck. Yeah, he did.
31:03
He's like. Nah, I'm done.
31:04
With this one and just throws it and I'm like, bro, you had that
31:07
car for fucking 10 years like Tom.
31:10
You're talking about a different.
31:12
He's different. Like, you know, he.
31:13
Just wants to. Drift.
31:15
He doesn't care about the Yeah, they're.
31:17
Sentimental being being sentimental, I used to think is
31:21
like a weakness. But you can be sentimental.
31:23
I do view it as a weakness. Because I wish I could change
31:25
it, but it's. Yeah.
31:26
But it is where it lives. You know what I mean?
31:28
Like, it's just how it is. I'm a bond, is I?
31:30
Can't get over I'm a bond. The thing is though, because
31:33
you're you feel more connected to your machine too, if you've
31:35
had it that long. Yeah.
31:36
So I mean, if you're just a driver, though, it doesn't
31:40
really matter. Yeah, but I feel like there's
31:42
more to cars than just driving. I I agree with.
31:45
That yeah, I, I've been more, I feel like you too, Carl.
31:48
I feel like you work on your car, like when you work on your
31:51
own car a lot and you like put a lot of time into it, It's like,
31:53
it's like therapy. Yeah, that's probably why I
31:56
can't. Get rid of the trauma bond word
31:57
in my head because the IS. There were so many times where I
32:02
wanted to trade it. I was a big hop from car to car
32:05
to car to car after I got rid of the Integra.
32:08
I had an Integra. Two, I was talking to Mike about
32:10
it, but that Integra I had it for a long time and then I just
32:17
I wanted to try different cars. I got a truck like I had a Land
32:20
Cruiser, then I got a 240, then I got Honda's back then I got a
32:23
Subaru like I just wanted to try different things and Frankie
32:27
thought that was the craziest thing ever.
32:29
I feel like when we. When we really met and started
32:31
hanging out, that's kind of when you switched, but I stopped
32:33
because then. I have this guy in my ear and I
32:36
kept telling him like. Carl, just keep the fucking car.
32:38
How are you going to build? Something, yeah.
32:41
If you keep switching. It and I'm like precisely.
32:43
All right, cool. So let.
32:44
Me hone in on this one car and now when I wrench on it, it's
32:47
like it's, it's like you just go into your office and then you
32:53
know exactly what's in your office.
32:54
You know where everything's AT and, and you're familiar with
32:57
it. And I went through like struggle
32:59
with that car of my own, like financial struggle through
33:03
COVID, like personal struggles where life is just bearing the
33:08
hell down on you. And but then you can just escape
33:11
to the car and you can work on the car, drive it hopefully.
33:15
And like that's that's probably why Malcolm needs.
33:18
Your keys apparently I like to keep it.
33:22
Oh, Malcolm's trying. To cop a free 34 Real Quick
33:25
Impala Impala no way. That's I've been calling it.
33:32
Yeah, I was. Like, ohh, wait a minute.
33:34
Yeah, that is. Right.
33:35
It does look like the Impala s S.
33:37
Super Sedan St. Sedan stickers on the Fender.
33:39
Mike, I haven't seen that in I don't know how long, OK, if you
33:44
look far. Back enough on my profile, I've
33:46
actually done that in my integrity before, but the
33:49
thought with this one was at each stop I would have people
33:52
put stickers on so it's like a memory board.
33:54
I knew it I. Knew it so I had like under
33:56
steer king. Put it on the Drift HQ guys.
33:58
Put stickers on, That's cool. Jimmy Oaks and the gang, you
34:03
guys. Yeah.
34:04
You know, it's kind of sick. We gotta get the stickers.
34:06
Yeah, make sure, make sure I don't forget.
34:07
That yeah, no. I know you're not.
34:08
That would be dumb as hell. You be forgetting a lot of
34:10
things. Like, Oh yeah, yeah, that's
34:12
crazy. Don't worry, you turn. 30s No,
34:14
no. No, Yeah, there it is.
34:17
Yeah, I remember that. I mean, that was a thing,
34:19
though. Oh yeah, yeah, that was sticker
34:21
bombing. That was a fucking thing.
34:22
That was the thing. Bro that was literally a thing
34:24
sticker. Bombing, Yeah.
34:25
Oh, it was like 2000. Tack in a day, especially with.
34:28
Volkswagen people too. Oh yeah.
34:30
Yeah, Volkswagen. Were you a Volkswagen?
34:31
No. Never.
34:32
Euro Never. Never a year.
34:34
I was, I, I dipped my toe in there and then found out how
34:37
much coilovers were and I was like, oh.
34:39
Yeah, I don't know if this is for me.
34:43
Like I couldn't even. Fathom how much coil overs were.
34:45
But then Raceland came out and I was like, oh God.
34:48
Someone called the other day, that's the shop.
34:50
They were like, I got some coil overs, how much to install him?
34:52
I was like, what coil overs? He's like Max speeding.
34:58
I said let me stop you right there.
35:00
I said these just so you know, just so you're aware, those are
35:02
the worst coilovers you could ever buy in your life.
35:04
And he's like, oh shit, alright, thanks man.
35:06
Unless it's a Miata. He's like, I didn't.
35:08
Buy him yet? I was going to.
35:09
He's like, thanks. I was like, OK, cool.
35:11
I was like, BC racing is the bare minimum.
35:13
Don't go anything less than that.
35:14
That's what we always say, yeah, because then you get him here
35:16
and you're like, oh, you can't adjust anything and then they
35:18
leave and they're fucking bouncing down the road.
35:20
Yeah. Blown factory.
35:23
It's bad dude. But yeah, what's done to the 30?
35:27
4A lot Little, not a lot. Oh, not a lot.
35:29
I got. It recently, actually, I flew
35:32
out here in late October and then just drove it back after
35:39
meeting with, you know, Jimmy and the boys.
35:41
And then we just did maintenance on it like timing belt, water
35:43
pump, wheels, coils, stuff to prepare you.
35:47
For a 5000 mile journey, yes, precisely.
35:50
Yeah. The things you should.
35:52
Do we didn't pack any tools. Well, actually I did.
35:54
I did bring a screwdriver. That was it.
35:56
That's good, no? Parts it's.
35:58
Like it's. Like.
35:59
You go to. You go to get your tools and
36:01
you're like, the trip I'm about to make is so insane what the
36:04
fuck do I even bring? Like I I can't bring my toolbox.
36:07
So I asked him what spares he. Brought and he said nothing
36:11
outside. Dude, it's hard to like.
36:13
Think of what you need to bring. It's like there's so much.
36:16
I will say we did have. Calipers lock up driving from
36:20
Tampa to Orlando or no to Jacksonville, and luckily,
36:24
luckily we were by in juku, so we just picked up Z3Z32 rear
36:28
conversion kit. Yeah and S13 lines, and no one
36:33
knows that those lines work. It did work.
36:35
Yeah, OK there. We go a little bit of knowledge.
36:37
For you in there, Yeah. So that's fun.
36:39
Then we stopped at some. Random dude's house and just
36:41
borrowed his tools. Had to go to the store, get some
36:44
cut off wheels to cut the dust Shields off.
36:46
Yeah, and that was this. Trip.
36:47
Yeah. OK, so that was two hours.
36:49
Ago So how has this? Trip been for you like has.
36:52
It been like pretty crazy, dude. It's crazy.
36:54
Every day is something new, yeah.
36:56
Never know what to expect I bet. Just been a blur.
36:58
But at the same. Time.
36:59
It feels like it's been a year only because when you look back
37:03
in the year, you think about all your memories, you know, but.
37:06
I feel like I've already. Done a whole years worth of
37:08
memories in two weeks? Well that's accurate.
37:10
February OR. Well, it's about to be March.
37:12
That's crazy. Yeah, we love in case you
37:14
forgot. Wait, I missed it when you leave
37:17
2. Weeks ago you said it was over.
37:19
Two weeks ago. OK, so we lost count.
37:21
Yeah. Well, yeah, I mean when you
37:23
think. About it?
37:23
How many? Days you go through where like
37:24
you didn't really do anything, you know what I mean?
37:26
It's like a lot, a lot of days exist like that.
37:28
So when you have every day you're doing something crazy,
37:31
something crazy every day. I feel like a year you don't
37:33
ever hit like a. I'm cooked.
37:35
You need like a day to refresh right?
37:37
Now I'm I'm fried every every. It's just.
37:39
Hard. Like I'm, I'm just running out
37:41
of everything. Like I'm running out, but I'm
37:43
still running. I think that's why that's how
37:46
you. Know that that Channel is
37:48
actually Mike. That should be the slogan cuz.
37:50
I'm running out, but I'm still running out, but I'm.
37:52
Still running 1000%. And you complaining?
37:55
About I got to do a trashy swap inside of this building it's.
38:00
Ridiculous, that's. Why?
38:01
I think that's why I was like. This is gonna sound.
38:02
Ridiculous when I complain about like.
38:05
Mike and his friends. Will probably do that shit
38:07
outside the. Z was.
38:09
Completely. Built outside every the swap 32
38:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah, OK. That was the outside build and
38:15
what Brothers driveway, What engines in that?
38:17
KA yo, what the? Fuck.
38:20
I didn't say anything out of a. Junkyard.
38:22
I pulled it in the middle of winter NA.
38:25
No, it well it. Was.
38:26
NAI drifted at NA 2 and it worked, yeah.
38:29
That thing is so heavy, it's like a 8/6.
38:31
Just going it's heavy, it's like AG.
38:33
Six but. Triple the weight?
38:34
No. Once you take out the.
38:36
VG that's a good chastity. That's what I'm saying.
38:38
C32 is left on. The VG was really stock diff I.
38:42
Like the VG though. Nah.
38:44
Nah. We.
38:46
Like VGS? Around here, I don't know why I
38:48
don't. VG and S.
38:49
Are in the. Same room.
38:50
I do not. It's weird.
38:52
OK, here's the thing. I used to work at Nissan.
38:54
I worked at a lot of Nissan dealers and sometimes you'd like
38:57
go look at like old service files and whatnot and you'd see
39:01
like a Maxima with a VG in it. Fucking shit has 600,000 miles
39:05
original motor. But you're like damn dude, this
39:07
shit is serious. They're good engines, I'll give
39:09
it that. Yeah, but working on it.
39:11
Not good. Yeah, it's a.
39:12
Nightmare, you know why? Why didn't you do our RB?
39:15
Just the price I've I said. First drivetrain I find I'm
39:19
putting in here. Thank God it was a fucking.
39:21
Nissan 1 Imagine you found. Like AK series, yeah or not K.
39:26
Swap. Oh, OK, All right, All right.
39:27
I wanted. Something with.
39:29
Nissan, Yeah, yeah, OK. Something 2.4.
39:32
I need it to be a. 2.4 dual overhead Cam iron block.
39:36
That's why I called. The 240ZX, OK, because that was
39:39
never technically a chassis. It was only there was 240Z and
39:42
SX, of course, but yeah, ZX yeah.
39:45
And how much power does that? Make I don't know, it's just St.
39:47
tuned. OK, sound like Arctech Manifold
39:51
G30 that looks like. A30I generated.
39:54
Damn, wait. You have it.
39:56
It's. AG third G series turbo on that
39:57
now yeah that shit is probably yeah, that's my fast.
40:01
Oh my. Gosh PSI though.
40:03
Oh, OK. Is it good?
40:04
Tell me yours. On.
40:05
Stock internals, stock engines. Sweet.
40:07
Junkyard the fuck up. Junkyard.
40:09
Everything, even the valve cover G30.
40:11
Turbo go to one of the recent ones.
40:15
This is amazing. Isn't the G30?
40:17
Kind of big yes bro. If it's what?
40:18
I'm thinking, is it? Yeah, I saw.
40:20
People like the 25, Did you have a sponsorship?
40:26
By Garrett or something, or like, no sponsors.
40:28
This is all solo. Put a G. 30 on that thing.
40:31
Because I wanted reliability. My daily all year, yeah.
40:37
We turbulent in a couple. Of days I'm telling you This is
40:39
why I. Fuck with Mike dude he just be
40:40
trying stuff. See that?
40:43
That looks so. Good dude, there isn't one
40:46
person who's in that crowd that isn't going damn that looks and
40:50
you got XC sevens. On there, Yeah, yeah, like body
40:53
kit is sick. That's Bomax OG.
40:55
That's cool. It's.
40:56
The whole the whole thing is bomax.
40:58
Yeah. Oh, the wing is Greti Gracer or?
41:01
Whatever. Yeah, but I.
41:02
Modded it to have extra fins in it like the cokie wing on the
41:05
top. OK.
41:07
Damn that body kit is. Sick.
41:09
The intercooler's sick. Yeah, we've we.
41:11
Handmade are not handmade but fab the intercooler.
41:13
It's like AV mount stuff. Yeah, and there's veins.
41:16
Inside of it, so it guides the air.
41:18
So it's not like just an open tank, it's like veined that's.
41:21
Cool. Wow, dude, Yeah, I think I'm
41:26
going to have to. I'm going to have to subscribe
41:28
to this YouTube channel because it's a good channel to put.
41:31
On at home, that's where I parked the car.
41:33
At my neighbour's house. Your neighbors just like look
41:36
at. This guy again, that's the
41:38
that's what that. Picture was the grey gracer.
41:40
Wing is sick. That.
41:42
That's a nice color too. God, that factory Cypress.
41:45
Green. Is that the same one on the?
41:46
Cobalt green. My bad.
41:47
Yeah, OK. Yeah, Cobalt.
41:50
Green do the wheel GT fours. Oh my God.
41:55
That actually looks really good. How do you keep inspired?
41:58
Mike, like, what are you doing? What do you see every day that
42:00
makes you go, yeah, I'm going to.
42:02
It's dangerous because. All I see is potential.
42:04
Yeah. You know, because then you start
42:06
collecting stuff and you're like, oh, dude, I could build
42:09
that. Like we should do this.
42:11
And then you start hoarding. Yeah.
42:13
Oh yeah. OK.
42:14
Yep, and. Then you end up like this.
42:16
I hope you didn't show him the. Back room and I showed him by.
42:18
Doing the lights on. Because I was like, though
42:20
you're good. Yeah, I couldn't.
42:22
I I would. I don't like walking through
42:24
because now there's just a lot. It's good because the light
42:26
switch. Isn't by the door, that's what
42:28
he said. Yeah, I.
42:28
Got to walk. In, no one wants to go in.
42:30
And I'm like, perfect, just shut that shit.
42:31
But then. There are RC drifting people, so
42:34
I was like, yo, you guys need to make a trend we.
42:36
Need to you. See potential in here.
42:38
This is the first thing. I said that was one of the
42:40
thoughts. For that backroom, it's gotta
42:42
happen I. Told you, yeah.
42:44
One of our stops was St. Break.
42:46
Was that Florida St. Break?
42:48
Yeah. They're like big in.
42:49
RC they have like a super scale to gay with like Japanese little
42:54
posters and stuff. Yeah, that's cool.
42:56
It'll be on the next video that. Drops.
42:58
Maybe you make that our friend. Ken is really into this.
43:00
Yeah, yeah. That's.
43:01
His motor out there, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:03
That's in the showroom. Sick.
43:05
Yeah, Yeah. Look at my hedge.
43:07
Wait, wait. Yeah.
43:10
That's my It was real for a. Minute.
43:12
Yeah, that's St. Break.
43:13
And my S13 shout out to my friend Matt Bartel that made the
43:16
body okay. This shit he did.
43:18
All the writing on the. Quarter exactly how it is a mine
43:21
wait, this is. The track, yeah, that looks
43:24
legit as well. We won't be able to.
43:26
Make anything like that. I mean.
43:28
We could. Yeah.
43:30
They got real wheels. Real.
43:31
Kids, see, This is why. This is insane.
43:34
This is why I. Said I was.
43:36
Mike was like, you need to. I think that I.
43:38
Thought that was. Real if I get into this.
43:40
Go back. I'm sorry.
43:41
If I get into this. I'm going to have to spend
43:43
money. I'm going to be on Yahoo
43:46
Auctions. Why?
43:46
I'm like. Bro.
43:48
That's I've been saying RC. Is a new wave bro.
43:51
This is a good pastime for this. Might be you.
43:53
Dude. Because look at this photo.
43:55
I know, but you don't tell me you could see that that's fake.
43:58
You don't. You know it's funny.
43:59
'Cause the center of the wheel, What is it?
44:00
The center of the wheel they can.
44:02
Always tell the center of the. Wheel, but I didn't even put the
44:04
intercooler on yet. I'm looking.
44:05
You know what? I'm looking at I'm looking at
44:07
the the two piece Type X front bumper and you see the the the
44:12
Fender piece Eddie right there that line.
44:15
You know what's funny? There's.
44:16
Also a aftermarket bumper you can put on these bodies that
44:19
puts the bulge in the for the front plate.
44:21
Oh OK, so they get down to every even look at the headlights.
44:24
A little bit down on the right side and then the left sides
44:27
higher the tight backs lights. Illuminating being like, yeah,
44:31
halogen, because I like that when they're halogen.
44:34
Dude, this. That photo fucks me up.
44:36
That might be you dude. Because no, he's not a here's
44:39
here's. Why I can't?
44:40
Here's what I can't go. Yeah.
44:41
So you you might. Like that, I can't have that.
44:43
If I add one more hobby and it's drifting related, I'm never
44:46
finishing my fucking car so I can't do that.
44:49
We'll let you drive. Then you'll be hooked.
44:50
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not.
44:51
If you're with us when I finish that, then then I'm I'll start.
44:55
Yeah, man, you gotta. Do it.
44:56
Look at that. That's sick too.
44:58
I mean this is the first. Time I'm seeing any RC drifting
45:00
where I'm like this is sick because usually I just see it
45:02
and I'm like. Whatever.
45:03
Oh no, this is the culture. Man, yeah, this is nuts.
45:07
That is probably. The most intensive example of
45:10
that I've ever seen. I usually see it and it's on a
45:13
track like it's like a yeah, you can tell it's fake.
45:15
You know what? I.
45:16
Mean well these. Guys are about it.
45:17
Yeah, that. That's so.
45:19
Fun. You break lock.
45:20
So. Is that a four?
45:21
Or is that all 2 wheel drive? All 2 wheel drive because I
45:25
heard. All-wheel drive is easier right?
45:26
Or some shit. Well, thinking about real
45:28
drifting. Yeah.
45:29
Are you seeing WRX is at the track?
45:30
No, no, but. I thought it was like a weird
45:33
thing where it was like RC drifting all-wheel drive is
45:35
easier or some shit. Nah, OK, Nah, I would.
45:37
That's in the past. I.
45:38
Would feel like it'd be. Weird to break lock.
45:42
That shit's fucking. Me up too, but it.
45:44
That's not is that there's a that's.
45:47
Not a a. Button you press for the
45:49
handbrake, is it that's you going off the trigger and going
45:52
no, it's a real OK. Here I'll I'll give you guys a
45:54
little synopsis. So the only thing different is
45:57
there's no front brake. You can go forward, back, left,
46:01
right and E brake. Now when you kick the clutch, as
46:05
I like to say I. Guess like you.
46:08
Know you give it some gas and it moves a little bit the wheels
46:11
will auto steer so it acts as if there's caster that's called
46:14
gyro I'm not going to say it's a recent thing but ten years ago
46:19
that was not a thing so it feels like you're driving a real drift
46:22
car wow like. The inputs.
46:25
Left versus right mid drift and it's actually correlate same
46:28
with the lines and tandems it's giving caster it's.
46:30
Giving that feeling like electronically, but it feels
46:34
like it's almost natural when what happens, it's not that.
46:37
It's feeling. It's actually doing it.
46:39
Yeah, it's. Counter steering, Yeah, the.
46:42
Fuck so you can adjust the. Arms, but your hands you can
46:45
adjust where the points are, the shocks, the fluid that's in the
46:49
shocks, the spring rates. Fuck.
46:51
The position where everything. Dude everything this is perfect
46:54
for people that. Don't want to spend a lot of
46:56
money that want to no there this is.
46:57
A lot of money too, I will say. A lot of money to get.
46:59
Into. But once you get it dialed in,
47:01
you just drive and it costs nothing.
47:03
Just recharge your batteries. Yeah, you got to buy.
47:06
Tires or is they don't run out unless you run.
47:08
Them outside OK you. Got to buy tires.
47:11
We do. We do burn through tires a bit.
47:15
Damn. Got a SR20.
47:17
In there. Oh yeah.
47:18
I saw. One where they put like a sound
47:21
mod on it to make it sound like it was on like I think it was 86
47:25
with like a the milk carton. Yeah, yeah.
47:27
That's. The drive shaft.
47:29
Style, But yeah, yeah. Do you guys remember X?
47:31
Mods Oh yeah OK cuz that that's like the next level 100% and I.
47:36
Fucked with X. Mods heavy, no X mods in drift.
47:38
Though, didn't they? No, you could.
47:39
You could. Drive them, but drive them.
47:41
Yeah, yeah. But that was so modif.
47:43
OK, it was like need for speed underground.
47:45
In real life there was X mods. But there was like a small car.
47:49
They were all smushed. It was like.
47:52
Mighty something. I can't remember what the hell
47:55
it was and then it was super slicks too because X mods
47:57
weren't like cheap. Cheap, you know it was that was
48:00
on. RadioShack.
48:01
RadioShack. Days, yeah yo, I never
48:04
appreciated. RadioShack, they had so many
48:07
things that could have been useful.
48:09
Yes, definitely. Like it was a chain hobby store,
48:12
but no, no, no, yeah. Just a bunch of like resistors.
48:16
I remember buying like. LEDs and resistors and making
48:18
little LED kits from my old cars I would make as as a kid.
48:22
Look at the X mods right? I wanted that.
48:23
One so bad I never got it. That one was always the real 1.
48:27
Yeah, you can never find. That that skyline in the store
48:30
for some reason for for those of you who are.
48:31
Listening who have no idea what X mods are.
48:33
X mods was an old remote control cars line that you can modify.
48:38
You can. Modify.
48:39
Yeah, and it was really Gator. It was like during that Fast and
48:42
the Furious era. So like all the stuff we liked,
48:45
if I'm being honest, this. Is what really got me in the
48:47
cars. It was this and Fast and Furious
48:49
the first one. It was those two things.
48:52
That's what got me into Japanese cars for sure.
48:55
It was X mods and the fast and furious.
48:57
Yo, you got Eddie? Train bro 'cause there was 1 S
49:00
13 on that whole spread, Eddie. I was looking right at it,
49:04
right? I was looking right at it and
49:06
Eddie clicked on it right away. Eddie's good man, Eddie.
49:08
Eddie. 'S Eddie's killing.
49:10
It it's a plug. Dude.
49:11
X mods was. Yeah, this is kind of making me
49:15
look at the Ek little like why that was my car, right?
49:18
There. The blue one, Really.
49:19
Yeah, that was. It right there.
49:21
Yup, Yup. On grenades, yeah.
49:24
That was my. Car dude, I fucked with that
49:26
car. I wanted that car.
49:27
That was the car I wanted when I was like, whatever, what 14, I
49:30
don't know what that's that's what my.
49:32
Ek looked like when I traded for an S13 you had a EBP. 1 It was
49:37
SI. Clone.
49:38
Oh, I was. Like SI?
49:40
I'm like SI nowadays. Will fed you a good down pay for
49:43
a house? Really.
49:44
How much is that car now? If you like an SI original.
49:47
Like it's just like any bring a trailer 90s car nowadays.
49:50
Probably at least 1520. Easily.
49:52
Easily. For all original, yeah, it's
49:54
getting at that point where. It's like if you want to get one
49:56
of your fucking old dream cars, you better do it soon because
49:59
shit's going to get even crazier.
50:01
I don't really know how that's. Going to work out for us in the
50:03
future? I don't know either.
50:04
That's why I think you should just keep.
50:06
Doing your thing, it'll eventually when somebody
50:09
believes in their own self like and they they just have all of
50:12
these items eventually like you could.
50:14
Fit you could. Get something that's not meant
50:16
and fix it exactly and then you'll just have it.
50:19
Forever. Yeah, You're lit.
50:21
It's a good. I mean, it's a good.
50:22
Idea and then you can say you fixed it.
50:23
You know, I don't know if this. Is something that crosses you
50:26
guys's minds as hoarders, but to me it's let's say no, y'all are
50:31
hoarders. This is you don't want to see.
50:33
My wheel clothes, I bet. It's probably horrible dude.
50:38
But my idea is that if I have these things, then I just won't
50:42
run out of things to do. It's like, oh, I could just go
50:45
work on this, or I'll go do that.
50:47
I guess I'll. Go do that.
50:48
But my. Brain's like the opposite.
50:49
Because it's like I want to finish something.
50:52
I don't want another, I just want to be done and.
50:55
Chill for a little bit, right? Yeah.
50:57
So now it's like I. Got a fucking four things that
50:59
are not done. So it's like, OK, I can't even
51:01
remotely think about RC drifting.
51:02
I can't. I can't do anything until, well,
51:05
RC drifting. It it doesn't feel like a job
51:08
task. It's it's more enjoyable.
51:09
God, that's like. Cheating.
51:11
That's like, yeah. It's good to relax.
51:14
Every once in a while, this guy doesn't know what.
51:15
That, yeah, I don't know what that.
51:16
Means he does not know. We'll show you, yeah.
51:19
Yeah, yeah. Like it's it's.
51:21
Dude, you'll be geeked, bro. When you think for you like I
51:24
mean today. Today, when we were playing this
51:25
whole thing, I was like, yo, today's gonna be fun.
51:27
Hell yeah, you know what I mean? And I never think like that.
51:29
I'm usually like, OK, today's like I gotta do this, this,
51:31
this. Like it's fun to me, but it's
51:33
not fun for anyone else that's around me.
51:36
But today I was like, he's just. Sitting here like.
51:39
Oh yeah, it's not. But today I was like, yeah, it's
51:41
gonna. Be fun.
51:42
We're doing a meet. We never, I don't think we
51:44
literally ever had a meet what ever.
51:47
Gotta do this like, yeah, if not once a month, like twice a year,
51:50
twice a summer. And so you were.
51:52
The you were the reason why this is happening.
51:54
Like why we even did this? Like Oh yeah, cuz we're like OK,
51:57
he wants to throw meat, let's throw meat.
51:58
And then he hits me out like I remember you were like yo, you
52:01
find a spot yet? And I'm like oh shit, I forgot
52:04
about that. I was making Flyers on the.
52:05
Road. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy.
52:07
Now, now. Now it's all your you got a good
52:10
picture now like this dude is mobile.
52:13
Yeah. Doing this stuff.
52:15
Yeah, I mean you're. Living like my dream right now
52:18
and travelling and like going to all these places and yeah, like
52:21
that. I would love to do that.
52:23
You should. Yeah, I, I do want to.
52:25
I mean, what I really want to do is I want to travel the country
52:28
on a motorcycle. So trying to do that sooner than
52:30
later, OK. But, you know, I, I got to have
52:34
all my ducks in a row before I can just leave here for two
52:37
weeks. You know what I mean?
52:38
Definitely like leaving. Illinois was that that was
52:41
exciting. You don't you?
52:43
Oh yeah, it's exciting. We hate Illinois.
52:45
Bro. Where would you be if you
52:49
didn't? Want to be in it?
52:49
Like where are you going to find home?
52:51
Where About the Midwest? You want heat you.
52:53
Want cold? You want.
52:54
You want to be dude anywhere but the?
52:56
Midwest. So are you.
52:57
Are you? Is that kind of the point of
52:59
this a little bit? It's like you're kind of 100%
53:01
OK. We're looking at places this.
53:03
OK, what is this area like? What's this area?
53:05
Now I see what Mike's. Doing.
53:07
Because we drove S13. To the West Coast pre the same
53:11
year of the T-bone actually OK while.
53:13
While it was broken, Yeah, imagine.
53:16
Imagine you're. Driving.
53:18
I didn't drive. It to and from the event.
53:19
Yeah. Sketch.
53:22
OK. So you went to the West Coast?
53:23
Yeah. Camp the whole time, like no
53:26
hotels or anything. Yeah.
53:28
And just got a feel for like each area and what it looks
53:30
like. We drifted park before it
53:32
closed. That's awesome.
53:33
Spear peaks, so it's like. We got a feel for the tracks and
53:36
for RIP Park. Yeah, but.
53:39
So you went. You were you.
53:40
Were going up north and then you kind of went down to California,
53:43
Lake Tahoe, OK. And you crossed back.
53:45
Through Utah. Yep.
53:46
OK, so you didn't go to like, Arizona or Texas?
53:48
No. OK.
53:50
Yeah, it's almost too hot. I think that's that was those.
53:52
Are my favorite areas, but you're right, you're right.
53:54
It's too hot. I've I've never been there in
53:56
the summer. I've only been there when it's
53:58
fucking perfect. It's Oh yeah, May, April,
54:00
something like that. And S13.
54:03
Yeah, there's something about being an S13 that makes it
54:07
really hot. Really.
54:09
Really. You know what that is with no.
54:11
Detonating. No, that's a catalytic.
54:13
Converter hump underneath your ass?
54:15
No, but RB. Is that RB on the?
54:19
Passenger. Side or well, it would be then
54:22
your Yeah. You know, opposite.
54:25
Side. Yeah, yeah.
54:26
So your heel like. On a in a USDM car with an Sr.,
54:29
your heel on your shoe is. Hot.
54:32
Yeah. And it and it and it will like
54:34
divide it. Yeah, in the summer.
54:35
Yep. And then you.
54:36
Then you. Got the fumes, you know,
54:38
stinking up the car and you're like like transfluite, the
54:40
whole. Time.
54:40
Yeah. Why am I?
54:41
Gosh, why? Am I about to pass out?
54:42
Oh, that's a carbon monoxide. Oh, right, right, right.
54:44
But. Then you get that little
54:45
insulator cover and you're all good.
54:48
I tried. Everything I could, my car
54:50
smelled like poison for for a while, Yeah.
54:55
And I don't know what it was. I tried figuring out.
54:56
I was like, I'm out of ideas. You know what, it must be the
54:59
fucking over fenders, like not being sealed up completely
55:02
underneath or something. Like that's all I could think
55:04
of. Like I tried changing the
55:05
exhaust, extending it out further, changing the fucking
55:08
test pipe from, I mean, catalytic converter from like
55:11
the flanges and everything. Should we not be talking about
55:13
actually? No, that doesn't matter.
55:14
Because it's 495, so we're good, right?
55:17
That's the thing in Jersey, yeah, yeah, sure.
55:20
It's got a cat on it. Yeah, my car's got a totally
55:23
got. Full exhaust, yeah, but like,
55:25
dude, yeah. I always had a.
55:26
Smell like oh, the fuel tank o-ring changed.
55:29
A bunch of times, like it's like three of those.
55:31
Yeah. It's like, bro, what is it?
55:32
What is it? I don't know.
55:33
And then I would notice if I, if I didn't have the windows open,
55:36
if I shut my windows and shut my sunroof, it'd be no smell.
55:39
So it's it's pulling it in the vasking pressure, just the
55:42
exhaust. You know it's running.
55:44
That's. Good you.
55:45
Know it's running. Yeah, but I'm not.
55:47
Running. Like coming home from fucking,
55:49
but New Hampshire and shit, you're just like driving.
55:51
You're like, I'm following a. Yeah, I was.
55:53
Like, yeah, that's carbon monoxide.
55:54
Poisoning that's what that is sometimes yeah, that's why you
55:57
got to watch that because you'll just pass out like that and just
56:00
die. Drove the IS here that.
56:02
Shit smelly, and for me that shit was.
56:05
Fucking bumpy. I know it's I.
56:07
Know it's the I know it's that ring the fuel tank.
56:12
Yeah, or the ship, but. No, the fuel tank OK and but
56:15
then now I also have like an axle dump yeah that so it just.
56:20
Should just come. I don't even care anymore.
56:22
Yeah, you just got to be careful because.
56:24
If you're going on a long trip, just remember be like, I got to
56:27
make sure I stay awake. Yeah, yeah, because that's
56:30
that's the schedule for me is the no.
56:31
Gas gauge. My gas gauge got all fucked up
56:34
because I messed with the fuel hanger to get a a return line
56:38
and out of the return list system for the IS and yeah, I
56:42
guess I messed something up and now the gas gauge didn't work or
56:45
doesn't work, hasn't been working.
56:47
So every time I drive it, I'm like first stop gas station, 20
56:51
bucks. I'll be good for the day.
56:52
And then I just got to get it back home and if I'm farther
56:55
away, put another 20 bucks. I have no idea.
56:58
I'll like look at the odometer for the day and I'm like, it's
57:02
like I'm, it's like a motorcycle 20 miles.
57:06
Yeah, maybe I should get a little bit.
57:08
So you went to the West Coast? And everything.
57:09
And how do you feel about that? The West Coast?
57:11
Pretty sick. It's just really expensive.
57:14
Yeah. Plus, like, the missions are
57:15
pretty strict out there. Yeah, especially in Cali.
57:17
You know, I've been trying to figure out how.
57:19
The automotive industry is. Stationed in California, I've.
57:24
Been trying to figure that out. Oh yeah, they got sick.
57:26
Cars over there and they have the worst laws.
57:28
Anywhere. I don't get it.
57:29
I don't understand. It's crazy.
57:31
I mean, power to them, I guess. But yeah, I don't.
57:33
I don't understand it which you guys don't.
57:34
Have that in Illinois. I feel like can you drive a lot
57:38
of different cars in terms of freedom over there?
57:41
Like you could register it, you could drive it.
57:43
Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah, yeah, I mean, they'll pull
57:45
you over for like no front plate, like same petty stuff.
57:48
It's nothing like, oh, you can't drive a swapped engine.
57:51
No, nothing like that. So you need so the next.
57:54
Spot would preferably because I couldn't move somewhere where it
57:57
would be like worse, you know what I mean?
57:59
Oh yeah, can't go to Cali. Unfortunately, where would you
58:01
be? Like Texas?
58:03
Did you try Texas? We haven't been to Texas.
58:05
I. Think you might like Texas?
58:06
I feel like you might vibe with you.
58:08
Yeah, especially with all the. Cars that I like the scenery,
58:10
yeah. OK, so no.
58:11
Testing. No.
58:12
No greenery. No greenery in Texas.
58:14
They got a lot of sand. Now I'm just kidding.
58:16
I've never been. So where let's?
58:17
Make Let's place our bets. Right now, Carl, where he's
58:19
going to end up, I got 2 potential.
58:21
Options right now Don't don't tell us.
58:23
Yeah, you were. Just in Florida.
58:25
But it's Hurricane E down there. But they can also drive whatever
58:28
cars they I have a feeling he's going to like.
58:29
There's tons of there's. Tons of property and I know
58:33
someone who recently bought a house down there.
58:35
Shout out, Matt, congratulations to you.
58:37
But is it Florida? I think one of them's Florida.
58:41
Yeah, one of them's got one of them.
58:42
'S Florida and. I think another one is a.
58:43
Carolina Nah, that's random. As.
58:46
Fuck Tennessee. Tennessee.
58:48
Yo, that would be a good one dude.
58:50
It's so nice, Tennessee. Is sick.
58:52
Yeah, it's I fucking hate Florida.
58:54
Just it's not there for two days.
58:56
I think this year, which is wild.
58:57
No, a couple days. Yeah, dude.
58:59
Tennessee has always been fucking sick.
59:01
I I'll stop there whenever we get a chance 'cause I, I love
59:04
that place and plus I got Texas. I got Texas style BBQ.
59:07
Like good BBQ. Like not fucking what we it's
59:09
just still pretty down. There.
59:10
You know what I mean? It's like, still like, naturey
59:15
and preserved. Yeah.
59:16
And there's mountains. There's things to do Florida I
59:19
don't like 'cause it's just flat, boring, hurricanes, humid,
59:23
I'm good. I could be a Florida.
59:24
Man, though, let's be real, I could see that.
59:28
Yeah, Florida man. Mike and there's.
59:32
A lot of drifting stuff down there, No tracks, not even one,
59:34
but there's a lot of drifting stuff down.
59:36
Why though? Don't ask me just like.
59:38
Illinois, we don't have a. Track.
59:40
Yeah, like a drift track bro. But even.
59:42
Illinois, I mean, you got that. There's that one spot that
59:45
people go to sometimes, the parking lot looking thing.
59:47
Yeah, even. That's even as good as Florida.
59:49
Yeah, no name drop. That one people get mad.
59:51
That might not even be what I'm. Talking.
59:53
No, no, no, he's talking about. I'm talking about something
59:54
you're. Talking about something we
59:56
should not. Name.
59:56
You're talking about something somewhat legit.
59:58
Like somebody and them go there sometimes I think, is it a track
1:00:02
it? It's.
1:00:03
Like a kind of looks like a God that's.
1:00:04
Wisconsin, Yeah. Oh.
1:00:06
Is it? Yeah, it's like.
1:00:07
A straight. Away into a big.
1:00:09
Entry pad, yeah. Yeah.
1:00:10
DoD so that's. Not even in Illinois.
1:00:12
No. How far is that?
1:00:14
Then it's like an hour out. It's not bad, not too bad.
1:00:17
So there's probably. Literally nothing in Illinois.
1:00:19
OK, no, just taxes. Not.
1:00:22
Yeah, what are those? But so.
1:00:27
But what about new? Jersey, I don't know you've.
1:00:30
Never done an event out here. It's pretty.
1:00:32
It sucks to pay for houses here right now.
1:00:35
Come on bro. Dude his ass don't lie to.
1:00:38
Him. We need him out here bro.
1:00:39
Dude, I'll find. My.
1:00:40
The fact that you're even here in our pads cross like this is
1:00:43
crazy to me. So like it's going to cross.
1:00:46
Raceway Park, Come on. He would love that shit dude, we
1:00:49
were telling. Him friendship in cars got.
1:00:51
No bounds. Yeah, I was telling.
1:00:53
I was telling Mike like, yo, we should get you to E Town, but
1:00:56
there's no drift car. And if you're gonna go to E
1:00:57
Town, if only I had a fucking. Drift car here that.
1:01:00
I mean, you got one. Well, I was thinking I'd come.
1:01:02
Back with a drift ready car, right?
1:01:04
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Drift trip like a little rally.
1:01:07
100% rally, just drive from just picking up people along.
1:01:12
That's basically. That's one of my dreams too,
1:01:13
yeah. We should do that.
1:01:15
That's my. Honestly, the most motivation to
1:01:17
finish my car is that because I like traveling, you know, so not
1:01:20
driving that car. That far dude.
1:01:22
No, not in that car. I'll throw it on a trailer like
1:01:25
I'm not. You gotta drive it.
1:01:26
I mean, I'm not totally against the fun of it.
1:01:29
But. Two point.
1:01:31
Two stroker with like 1000 miles.
1:01:33
One. I mean, I'll drive my car.
1:01:34
Yeah, like I drive my car to E town when we go there because I
1:01:37
don't I would rather drive it there than trailer because it's
1:01:39
more of a hassle to fucking trailer it like an hour or less
1:01:42
away to me. Damn.
1:01:43
Like 40 minutes from here. Like if I'm going far.
1:01:46
I'm like, OK, yeah, because if I, if I fucking break something,
1:01:49
it's like I'm not getting home easy.
1:01:52
But if I break something 40 minutes away, it's like, you
1:01:55
know, I'll figure something out. I'll either drive back and get
1:01:57
the trailer or yeah, but now that.
1:02:00
Those. Challenges to to Mike are
1:02:02
probably like, all right, let me fucking do a little control arm
1:02:05
real quick. Oh yeah, no, this guy.
1:02:07
Will fucking rebuild an engine on Saturday.
1:02:10
Do you have a? What's the craziest roadside?
1:02:13
Do you have a craziest roadside where you're like fuck, I do not
1:02:16
want to do this right now. What do you mean roadside like?
1:02:19
A roadside. Fix.
1:02:21
I mean the brakes. Is kind of annoying, but it was
1:02:22
like a one out of 10 difficulty. Yeah, I was going to say that.
1:02:25
Doing a brake conversion conversion too.
1:02:27
It's pretty. It's pretty shitty, right?
1:02:29
I missed that. It was like a yeah, it wasn't
1:02:32
because when he said he. It was a caliber, Yeah, the
1:02:35
caliber seized. Yeah, I was like, I bet you
1:02:36
can't. Find that shit because it's
1:02:37
fucking JDM. Yeah.
1:02:38
So it's like now you got to convert it, you know, but you
1:02:41
came up with the. Solution.
1:02:42
Yeah. It was probably.
1:02:45
Everybody on their phones real quick, like shit, who's got?
1:02:48
That shit on the. Lock though, they got all the
1:02:49
break and stuff. All in stock yeah, so, but
1:02:53
luckily one of the guys OK, so the guy's house that I went to
1:02:57
to do the breaks was at one of the previous meets.
1:03:00
So it kind of worked out OK and you've.
1:03:02
Been throwing these meets like as you go, as you travel.
1:03:04
Yeah. Oh, that's sick.
1:03:05
So we had like a couple. Already laid out and I had left
1:03:09
some as to be determined. OK.
1:03:10
And then we added two additional to the original list.
1:03:14
OK, mid road trip because people were like, oh, I got a lot for
1:03:16
you. Come here.
1:03:17
I'm like, all right, bet. Yeah, yeah.
1:03:18
That's that's. When I saw New Jersey as TBD and
1:03:23
then I was like. Oh yeah, because.
1:03:25
He had me up like, yo, did you figure this out yet?
1:03:28
I'm like, oh, what? And then I'm like, oh shit.
1:03:30
And then we were, we were trying to figure something out.
1:03:32
And I was like, I was like, dude, it's like if I if you go
1:03:36
anywhere around here and you talk to them, they're going to
1:03:38
just tell you to kick rocks. They don't give a shit.
1:03:40
Like they're going to be like, so just go, yeah, they're going
1:03:41
to do it. So yeah.
1:03:42
So it's like, we're just going to go.
1:03:43
And then that's how I run it all.
1:03:45
Of them have been run like that yeah because we have a better.
1:03:47
Chance of just being able to go there, hang out and grab food or
1:03:51
whatever and no one's going to bother us.
1:03:52
My goal with this. Trip was to bring back the vibes
1:03:55
that kind of got me into the culture because when I first got
1:03:58
my Integra, it was like bone stock.
1:04:00
Of course, rotted. Yeah, but I'll go to these shows
1:04:04
and look at other people's builds.
1:04:05
I'm like, damn, this is the potential.
1:04:08
Look at all these sick hard. This is cool.
1:04:10
And like cruising to and from the event hits different.
1:04:13
Oh yeah, 100% squad. You're like, oh.
1:04:15
Yeah, we out here, you know, Yeah.
1:04:17
Oh gosh, that's. What I wanted to.
1:04:19
I haven't had that. Feeling in forever like just
1:04:21
tonight dude, just to. Hang.
1:04:23
Out with. Everybody gonna have it tonight?
1:04:24
Yeah. That's why I bro.
1:04:25
Dude, I had to fucking yeah my. Driveway is.
1:04:28
So steep like, and I tried to, I made like a cheesy little video
1:04:32
of me getting in it and everyone's like, that drunk way
1:04:33
is not even that bad. And I'm like, it's in .5 and
1:04:37
you're on the top of the hill, whatever.
1:04:38
Just let him. Talk.
1:04:39
But now I was like. Mike's coming.
1:04:41
Let me see if I could get this shit to crank.
1:04:43
He was really trying to paint that.
1:04:44
That shit before yeah I said yo, I texted him 2 days ago, yo-yo
1:04:48
Carl 2 days ago yeah I. Go yo, Carl.
1:04:51
Don't rush your fucking paint job for me, he goes.
1:04:53
I'm. Not I'm not.
1:04:54
I'm like OK. I'm not but.
1:04:55
But the stars were falling. Really be perfectly yeah yeah
1:04:59
yeah and if dude I just I wish I had a a trailer at my house that
1:05:04
I could just keep yeah that too 'cause he he.
1:05:06
Would have to come to get my trailer.
1:05:07
Come here. But then I had a.
1:05:08
Better idea, and I was going to go to Pennsylvania, get Ethan's
1:05:11
trailer 'cause he doesn't really care if I borrowed or not.
1:05:14
I'll grab it, come back here, get my car, go to PA, paint it,
1:05:18
bring it back, do this. It would have been like A and
1:05:22
you know, yeah, but it's just like it's.
1:05:23
Too much. It's like, 'cause you really
1:05:25
want your car to look good, the paint showed up on.
1:05:27
Last Thursday and I was like no way this is.
1:05:32
Then then the weather. Started to warm up and I was
1:05:34
like, yeah, that's another thing.
1:05:35
Bro wait. This is going.
1:05:37
To happen before the Yeah, the weather warmed.
1:05:39
Up for your right, they brought the floor perfect.
1:05:41
It's very weird. The doors have been open for
1:05:44
either maybe yesterday and today only in the shop like they've
1:05:47
been. Yeah, it's February too.
1:05:49
Is crazy. Not.
1:05:51
Something's, but we're not. We're not going to talk.
1:05:53
We're not going to talk about. What We're going to talk.
1:05:56
About we We live in this. Little bubble.
1:05:58
I was trying to explain to them the bubble where like it's our
1:06:01
drifting bubble. So like outside of it, like
1:06:03
climate change and all that. Like we ain't worried about
1:06:06
that. It's warm, it's sunny.
1:06:07
We get to work on what we're doing.
1:06:08
We get to enjoy. We get to enjoy.
1:06:10
Like, that's our bubble. Yeah, it's great.
1:06:13
I, I don't know dude, it's. Exciting and I'm I'm, I'm more
1:06:16
excited that you get to go to the because you were just
1:06:20
talking about like car meets and how they inspired you and
1:06:22
everything or you remember them. Yeah, this is the spot where we
1:06:26
had the biggest car meets ever in New Jersey, but that people
1:06:30
were getting stabbed. In shit.
1:06:32
Oh yeah, they're crazy. Shit dude, that that was.
1:06:34
That was the decline. And that was like, dude, like.
1:06:37
Insane car meets at this lot. Like it fucking shit.
1:06:42
It literally was like the Fast and Furious.
1:06:45
You remember that brand? Liberty Walk.
1:06:48
It's like a really, really like the GTR.
1:06:51
OK, Yeah. At that.
1:06:53
Meet I was. Like 17 years old dude and one
1:06:56
of those car 35 GTR pulls in Liberty walk or maybe 18 bro
1:07:00
there'd be like. Rows of like evos, fucking
1:07:05
GTR's. It's like how many fucking
1:07:07
people are here? They had undercover cops walking
1:07:10
around. They had cops on the rooftops in
1:07:13
the buildings. Yeah.
1:07:14
And then one night of a cop car almost got flipped like hey
1:07:18
that's that guy, preach the mic. Get him that's that's going to
1:07:21
be tonight. Yeah, dude, it's a sting up.
1:07:23
It's a sting. Up.
1:07:24
It got so big. That they were like, we can't do
1:07:26
this. And it got so big.
1:07:27
They started bringing cops and the cops couldn't handle it.
1:07:30
And then they were like, OK, we got to kick all these people out
1:07:32
and they couldn't kick everyone out because there's just too
1:07:33
many people like. And then they started putting,
1:07:36
what do you call it, the little sniffer cars in the beginning in
1:07:40
the in the entrance. So they check you for cats,
1:07:42
everything. They give you fucking tickets
1:07:44
right when came in. So that's why I kind of died off
1:07:46
there for that. So it.
1:07:49
Got. Crazy in like 2000 at 9 I think
1:07:52
and then it kind of died. The craziness died in like 2011
1:07:56
or 12 or something like that. Fuck it, throw a banger this.
1:07:59
Year right like. And it was always on Thursday
1:08:01
night Starbucks. It was always starts.
1:08:03
Wednesday is safe. We.
1:08:03
Think you'd go there and get a coffee?
1:08:05
Was the only thing that was open, Yeah.
1:08:07
Now we get to go hang out. Yeah, it's going to be a fun
1:08:09
time. Man, yeah, I'm just, like I
1:08:10
said, I'm glad you you get to see the exact spot where we were
1:08:13
and you can't, I mean, you, I think you kind of see New York
1:08:16
City from there, maybe the side that we're in.
1:08:17
Yes you can. I'm trying to I'm trying to give
1:08:20
you somewhat. Of an experience, you know?
1:08:22
Yeah, I'm. Looking forward to it.
1:08:23
It's like. It's like a.
1:08:25
And I would I. Would like to to.
1:08:27
Offer, but we will try. I would like to.
1:08:29
Go down route 3 to get there so he can see New York City.
1:08:33
Now pick the smoothest fucking Rd. bro.
1:08:38
It's OK, sure. We'll go down route.
1:08:39
Three, because that's like my. Favorite road to go down because
1:08:43
you can see my the Empire State Building is my fucking favorite
1:08:47
building ever. So you can you get like a
1:08:48
picture perfect view of that building and you could see all
1:08:51
New York City as well. And then you can really get the
1:08:53
whole vibe and it's like that's my favorite part of living here.
1:08:57
I would say honestly, because New York City to me is like
1:08:59
mountains like in Arizona. I see it's like the same vibe to
1:09:02
me. So it was cool driving.
1:09:04
Through here, like seeing all the buildings and the bridges.
1:09:07
Yeah, I didn't notice how different.
1:09:10
That was from other places. Oh yeah, there's.
1:09:12
Not like. That everywhere else.
1:09:14
I mean when you get into to. Like Chicago, like proper,
1:09:18
there's old shit there, but like it's always way more old shit
1:09:23
over here when you travel into the Midwest even like I mean
1:09:26
Michigan and stuff like that. Shit just starts looking like, I
1:09:29
don't know, the same over and over again.
1:09:31
And I'm like, I need, I need like all the buildings to be
1:09:35
different. You know what I mean?
1:09:37
But that shit's happening all over the country.
1:09:39
They they keep knocking shit down and just building the same
1:09:41
cookie cutter apartment buildings, you know, I agree.
1:09:44
So you will see that shit too. But it's at least there's some
1:09:46
more history and stuff if you grew up anywhere.
1:09:49
Else not the Midwest you think you would have had the same
1:09:51
experiences you did I. Don't know, That's hard to say.
1:09:54
Right. Like because the cars the.
1:09:56
Weather the environment. You wouldn't have to be maybe
1:10:00
outside or in the you could have been in the warm under a car.
1:10:03
That's the story. Right.
1:10:05
It's like. Now your skin's got to be pretty
1:10:07
thick. Oh, yeah.
1:10:08
I I. Dude, I can't trust anyone that
1:10:10
didn't grow with snow right. I'm sorry.
1:10:13
I'm sorry. Crazy.
1:10:15
I'm sorry. Dude, I can't.
1:10:16
I can't. I can't trust you.
1:10:18
You never been through any hardship.
1:10:19
I'm sorry. Like you, You never shovel snow,
1:10:22
dude. What winter changes?
1:10:23
Someone real quick. Yeah, like that's.
1:10:25
That's kind of weird. There's like two different types
1:10:27
of people. Is it a harsh winter up there
1:10:29
in? Illinois right now.
1:10:30
It's bad enough I'm. Sure.
1:10:31
Yeah. I mean, it gets cold.
1:10:32
Yeah, I'm sure it's just been here.
1:10:34
Winter for. 9. Months and I just can't like 9.
1:10:37
Months today. That's crazy dude.
1:10:38
When? Today.
1:10:40
My phone I. Left it out and I got a your
1:10:42
phone is hot warning, you know. Oh yeah, I was.
1:10:46
Like whoa, whoa, look at that. My shit's just been dying
1:10:50
because it's. Cold I'm like what the fuck?
1:10:51
These batteries are terrible, but what was I going to say
1:10:55
about fucking cold weather? I, I don't know, it's like it's
1:10:59
just, you know, they grew up differently, you know what I
1:11:01
mean? Like they had to go through some
1:11:02
shit every fucking every year, some bullshit, you know, and
1:11:06
people in California are just fucking living the dream every
1:11:08
day. Wake up.
1:11:08
Oh, another perfect day. Like it's a little.
1:11:10
Salty. About the warmth.
1:11:12
But it's like bro. Come on, it's OK.
1:11:14
It's warm today, Frank. Don't get me wrong, I actually
1:11:16
love. California, though, I love
1:11:17
California. Yeah, for some reason I like.
1:11:19
I still like the snow, like a little bit.
1:11:21
I love the snow. I.
1:11:22
Will I will say I love the snow, but you know, it's a love hate
1:11:26
relationship. Definitely, I love it when.
1:11:28
I'm. Snowboarding.
1:11:29
Yeah, I like it. Snow drifting.
1:11:30
Snow drifting, yeah. Pretty much when I'm doing
1:11:33
anything. Fun.
1:11:34
Then it's fun. Some good memory snow.
1:11:36
Drifting until you got to shovel.
1:11:38
A fucking Yep, Yeah. That's.
1:11:40
But also potential to. Make money when you're younger
1:11:42
too. Like I'm gonna go shove up my
1:11:44
fuck you ever shovel 100? Percent.
1:11:45
Yeah, like I said, dude grew up broke.
1:11:47
Grinded. Yeah, that's what made me.
1:11:49
It's kind of, it's kind of a. Thing that like those people
1:11:51
don't have in in those climates like they probably have to like.
1:11:55
Mow grass more I guess. Not if they're it's.
1:11:59
Something dude, fucking Arizona, New Mexico, all this shit.
1:12:02
Oh yeah, right. What do they do?
1:12:03
They got no water. They got no nothing like it's
1:12:06
crazy somebody out there is gonna.
1:12:07
Be like this motherfucker. I hope they start talking.
1:12:09
Shit, I'd love to hear it. I'd love to hear practices.
1:12:11
I don't not. I.
1:12:12
Don't know why, but I feel like in one of your videos you said
1:12:15
your mom is from around. Yeah right.
1:12:17
And. Raised in Jersey.
1:12:18
City. Oh, for real?
1:12:19
Yeah. She got the accent and
1:12:20
everything. It's.
1:12:21
Awesome. Cool man.
1:12:22
Yeah, that's awesome because. In that video.
1:12:25
Whichever video it was, when she spoke, I was like, wait a
1:12:28
minute, I know, I know that accent.
1:12:31
Wait a minute. Yeah, she called it Gloria A.
1:12:34
Gangsta cop? No.
1:12:35
A mobster cop, yeah. And then right.
1:12:37
After right after I'm looking at the TV and I'm like, why does
1:12:40
she sound? And then you go, for those of
1:12:43
you who are curious, my mom is from Jersey or something like
1:12:46
that. And I was like, gosh.
1:12:49
That's funny there. We go.
1:12:50
There's a lot of accents around here.
1:12:53
There's Staten Island, which has its own particular accent too.
1:12:55
All the Front Street guys are from there, so you might hear
1:12:57
that sometimes. But and then New York City, I
1:13:01
mean, Brooklyn has almost somewhat of an accent, really
1:13:05
have an accent that's. Like I feel like I think there's
1:13:08
a Midwest accent I. I.
1:13:10
I know there's a Midwest. Accent not.
1:13:12
You can't hear it with everyone though.
1:13:14
But when you say certain words, I don't know.
1:13:17
But word. I'm curious.
1:13:18
Yeah, I water. Water.
1:13:20
Might be 1. Yeah, but you say?
1:13:21
Water. I say water.
1:13:23
Really weird. You can't.
1:13:23
Go off of me but Midwest. I know when they say it, they
1:13:27
say it a little weird and there's another word.
1:13:29
I'm trying to remember it. No, I don't feel.
1:13:31
Like there's not really. I'm not.
1:13:34
Going to remember the word. I'm just thinking of.
1:13:36
Chicago, yeah. That's that's a good one.
1:13:38
Like there is there's. Or.
1:13:42
I don't know, I'm thinking of that. 70s Show when like they
1:13:44
have like the the mom or whatever.
1:13:47
Yeah, she would talk sort of with an accent.
1:13:49
It sounds a little Canadian. Yeah.
1:13:51
Kind of. It has a.
1:13:53
It has a little, yeah. It's the O, It's always with the
1:13:56
OS it's like. A little.
1:13:58
Bit and it gets worse the further up you go.
1:14:00
Like Michigan, you know it's going to be worse.
1:14:02
Wisconsin is going to be worse. Like but lower.
1:14:05
It starts getting a little better.
1:14:06
You looked up Midwestern. Accent looking like AI game we
1:14:10
also did you guys. Say that.
1:14:11
Don't you know we don't say that.
1:14:13
No, wait, we say. Ope.
1:14:15
Like all the time. Oh no, that's not the thing.
1:14:17
Really. No like ope.
1:14:19
It's not like. It's like when you're walking by
1:14:21
someone you're like OOP. I think that kind of maybe
1:14:25
became. A thing around here maybe?
1:14:27
No, recently it did not. Yeah, I don't know what.
1:14:29
That's the Mandela Effect. You're just you're making shit
1:14:31
up. What the?
1:14:32
Fuck is schnooker? I've never heard that one.
1:14:34
OK, All right. False.
1:14:36
You betcha. That's a Midwest thing.
1:14:38
You betcha that is a Midwest thing.
1:14:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that. Makes me think like.
1:14:42
I'm in Culver's and I'm getting a burger.
1:14:44
Yes. And I'm like.
1:14:45
Hey, can I get would I be able to get an extra honey mushroom?
1:14:48
You betcha, you betcha, you betcha, don't you?
1:14:50
Know, don't you? Know.
1:14:51
Don't you know? That's the thing.
1:14:52
Yeah, I remember. I remember I dated a girl from
1:14:54
Michigan once and her parent, when her mom would speak, I
1:14:58
would go what? The fuck was that?
1:15:00
And I'm. Like, oh, OK, there is there is
1:15:02
an accent. I do a second.
1:15:03
Yeah, like little. Things I.
1:15:04
Hear it and I'm like, whoa, we don't say things like that.
1:15:07
Which means. Dude, Midwestern accent is wash.
1:15:11
Erotic Wash, wash. What's that?
1:15:13
Yeah, like sometimes. Sometimes people who say wash
1:15:16
put an R in there, I've noticed that.
1:15:18
In Saint Louis area, Wash. Yeah.
1:15:21
And, and I've noticed that sometimes when people hear not,
1:15:24
not a lot, maybe like one person.
1:15:25
And I was like, well, they were from.
1:15:26
Did you just say they were from the Midwest?
1:15:28
It just came weird. It's weird sometimes, people.
1:15:30
Just pick things up and they're not even like in that area, but.
1:15:33
I remember they would look at. Me weird and I'd be like, I
1:15:36
don't know, I'm just talking. I don't I don't I don't think I
1:15:39
have an accent at all. Sometimes I just feel.
1:15:40
Oblivious in places where I should not be oblivious.
1:15:44
And I'm like, OK, I should, I should have read this a little
1:15:48
differently and maybe I am kind of like out of my element here.
1:15:52
Have you have you noticed any? Particular accents on your
1:15:55
entire journey this this time or does everyone seem pretty?
1:15:59
Dude, Tennessee hits a little different.
1:16:01
Yeah, yo. You you need to go there that
1:16:04
you light up. When you say.
1:16:06
The word Tennessee and like, imagine if you live there, like
1:16:09
you get to just light up every day like I'm I'm happy to be
1:16:12
Yeah, Tennessee. It's been funny trying to.
1:16:14
Practice each accent from where we go.
1:16:17
Yeah, we've been seeing. Signs like, oh, we're out to
1:16:20
Yonkers. It's.
1:16:23
Like messing around in the car? Yeah.
1:16:26
That's cool, man. The Southern accent's so crazy.
1:16:28
It's like you're in the Midwest and all of a sudden you're in
1:16:30
fucking Alabama and you're like, what happened?
1:16:32
Everyone's just talking totally different.
1:16:34
But now I feel. Comforted right away.
1:16:36
Oh, 100% Oh. Yeah, yeah, Southern hospitality
1:16:39
is unmatched. Oh yeah, love.
1:16:41
It love it, that's how we feel about it.
1:16:44
Might be the same for you being from Chicago, Chicago area or
1:16:47
Illinois like Chicago suburbs. OK.
1:16:49
So yeah. When we leave our area, we feel
1:16:53
like everyone is nice. Yeah, Really.
1:16:54
Do you feel? That way or no?
1:16:56
Absolutely not. OK, so they don't have that
1:16:57
problem, Yeah. The whole Midwest is.
1:17:01
A different breed, yeah. When we leave New Jersey and we
1:17:04
go anywhere that isn't like I would, I would say pretty much
1:17:08
anywhere, honestly, that isn't the East Coast.
1:17:10
In Northeast, everyone seems to get nicer and more polite and
1:17:15
we're like, are you fucking with us?
1:17:16
Well, we always, that always ends up happening, I mean.
1:17:20
Bro, Mike just popped up in here.
1:17:21
Yeah, like we're all just hanging out.
1:17:23
Yeah, you guys are all awesome. Obviously, but I'm not.
1:17:26
Saying Reese came in here like a couple weeks ago and we were
1:17:31
immediately bashing on each other.
1:17:32
Yes, yes. Yes, OK.
1:17:35
Yeah, it's like a different. I don't know, Yeah, I think it's
1:17:38
just, it's just what makes it round, you know what I mean?
1:17:40
Like it's it's so that everybody has a little bit of something.
1:17:43
Yeah, I think. Yeah.
1:17:44
The. East Coast tends, we tend to
1:17:45
talk mad shit about each other for no fucking reason.
1:17:47
For no reason. Yeah, no reason.
1:17:48
And it's. Kind of like a joke.
1:17:50
Almost it's not serious, but like we're always but we bust
1:17:53
balls way too much. I feel like around around here
1:17:55
and then you go other places and they're like very polite and
1:17:58
nice and welcoming and like even dude, even going to Chicago with
1:18:03
proceed, all the proceed guys are always so nice to us.
1:18:07
Obviously I trust those guys, but usually if I didn't know
1:18:09
them, I'd be like, yo, these guys are fucking with us.
1:18:12
No, they're a good group of guys.
1:18:13
They're O GS, yeah, like those guys are.
1:18:15
Awesome dude, we love travelling.
1:18:17
I can't wait for you to. After hearing some of the now
1:18:20
I'm like, OK, I got to, I got to keep tabs on mic because I want
1:18:23
to see this shit happen. Yeah, like if you got a space.
1:18:27
Oh dude. It would be you're like things
1:18:31
would be so much everything in one.
1:18:34
Doesn't that sound great? It's all I've ever.
1:18:36
Wanted. I've never had a place where I
1:18:38
can call home, ever. Sounds like you almost.
1:18:41
Don't even want that though in a.
1:18:43
Way I don't yeah. Oh.
1:18:44
That was a trick. Whoa, whoa, I'm at home right
1:18:48
now. Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
1:18:50
Yeah, the. Road.
1:18:51
The road is my. Home literally the road will
1:18:53
provide literally somebody needs to give you.
1:18:55
Like a rig like. A like something you could
1:18:57
actually live in and work out of.
1:18:59
Yeah. Mobile welder on it.
1:19:02
That's. Step 2, you find first he's got
1:19:04
to find his home base and do need a home base, Yeah.
1:19:06
Put the stuff, yeah. And.
1:19:07
Then he'll get like the fucking trailer with everything.
1:19:10
That shit would be sick dude just working.
1:19:12
Inside would be so nice someday. Oh my gosh, seriously?
1:19:15
Imagine a lift. Oh.
1:19:19
My God. That was the first thing that we
1:19:21
got, that we were like, this is next level shit.
1:19:25
Yeah, I've only had three. Jack stands for like the past 2
1:19:27
1/2 years. Oh my.
1:19:30
Yeah, you don't. Got it.
1:19:31
I might have. An extra 1.
1:19:34
So let's make it. Four, dude.
1:19:36
Yeah, one of them got. Bent.
1:19:37
So I threw it away because I knew I'd use it.
1:19:39
That other one maybe? Just no.
1:19:41
I get that. That one's like maybe?
1:19:43
Not as good either. Carl.
1:19:46
Carl would mark. It and be like, yeah, this one.
1:19:48
'S the bad? One watch out, only use in case
1:19:50
of emergency. Yeah, yeah, that one.
1:19:52
Will go on the rear only like that passport.
1:19:57
Like. That it's nice when you can work
1:20:02
in a way that other people can relate.
1:20:04
Like painting is a pretty easy example because there's YouTube
1:20:08
painters who have a booth literally at their house, a
1:20:11
beautiful booth. And then you got another guy
1:20:13
who's more like me who's maybe painting in a tent or painting
1:20:16
outside or painting in the garage.
1:20:18
And then they get a sick result and that guy giving you tip guy
1:20:21
or girl giving you tips. That's the guy I.
1:20:24
Watch you relate a little bit. More yeah, cuz then I'm like.
1:20:27
Oh, if they could do it. Shit, I could do it.
1:20:30
Like. Andrew with the Z dude.
1:20:33
Wait, Andrew with the Z which he painted the green.
1:20:36

You're going out to like meet two people and now it's like
1:22:27
after final bout, it's like you're going out there and
1:22:30

1:22:39
Like the culture? In the red spot I feel like the
1:22:41
drifting. Community was a little bit more
1:22:43
isolated before final bout and now it's like, I mean, after
1:22:47
final bout one and two, it was like, dude, everyone is like, I

1:23:27
Year, but I'm gonna find some fun inside of there.
1:23:30

it. I know PA is too long, but
1:25:40
those, those hills and mountains, that's the only thing

1:28:01
snow adds a whole another fucking level and do you guys
1:28:04
salt your roads over there Oh big time yeah big time fucking
1:28:08
terrible and like they'll they'll.
1:28:10
Salt it and then there's no snow for like weeks.
1:28:12
Yep. Why?
1:28:13
Why are we doing? This yeah.
1:28:15
And it's like, well, got to be, got to be, got to be safe.
1:28:18
Yeah, got to, we got to make sure.
1:28:20
Now is that the. Mid that's you guys's take on a
1:28:22
Midwest, a Midwest old. Guy.
1:28:24
Yeah, I guess. I don't know.
1:28:26
Like an old timer. Don't you know we got assault?
1:28:28
Don't you know it? Washes away the Stew.
1:28:32
Oh my gosh, all. Right, we got some questions.
1:28:37
Do we have questions? Did.
1:28:38
You did, we do. Oh cool, we.
1:28:40
Do these things where like? We have a question prompts, so I
1:28:42
don't know. Yeah, I don't want to keep.
1:28:43
I don't want. To keep everyone waiting because
1:28:45
we do have people outside hanging out.
1:28:46
No worries. So let's see what we got here.
1:28:49
I also want to see what. This RC drifting, I want to see
1:28:52
somebody do some. Yeah, I do want to see that for
1:28:54
a. Second dude, you would you?
1:28:55
Would love that. I think you can get them hooked.
1:28:57
Yeah, I'm sure all it. Takes is one time once it.
1:28:59
Clicks you're like. I need this because then you can
1:29:03
make. Imagine you can make your own
1:29:05
little car that looks exactly like that.
1:29:08
That's cool. I would.
1:29:08
Make your car and flip that shit.
1:29:10
No, fuck you. I'll paint the bodies too.
1:29:13
I got the paint. I want your car.
1:29:15
Primered. Nah.
1:29:17
OK, this is going to be a while. All right.
1:29:20
Are there there's a? Lot, yeah.
1:29:22
Holy. Shit.
1:29:24
OK, So what I do when I do these is I pretty much just, I pick a
1:29:28
few because some of these are, first of all, if they're people
1:29:30
that listen to our podcast all the time, they're going to be
1:29:32
fucking ridiculous. Yeah, sometimes.
1:29:34
They're ridiculous. Dude what did Chris ask?
1:29:35
Like if you were to fist fight an animal.
1:29:39
What animal? What would be?
1:29:40
The what's the? Biggest.
1:29:42
What's the biggest? Yeah.
1:29:43
What's the biggest animal you think you could take down in a
1:29:46
fight? That's an interesting question.
1:29:47
Very interesting question. What did I?
1:29:49
Say just fist fight. Female like no material.
1:29:52
A female deer, Yeah. That's what female deer is
1:29:54
actually a. Really good answer.
1:29:54
That's a good answer. Not a DOE.
1:29:56
But yeah, a deer that's pretty big and it's also pretty weak.
1:30:00
So first. Question, how much money do you
1:30:02
make a year? OK.
1:30:03
So we're moving on from that $10 11. 1st.
1:30:06
Drifting video you saw? This might be a good question.
1:30:08
So I figure first drifting video, yeah, at least that you
1:30:11
can. Remember.
1:30:12
I mean it's. Tokyo Drift, yeah, you know,
1:30:15
Yeah. But that's a pretty good.
1:30:18
Answer that is that is literally.
1:30:19
I mean, me too. I'm in the same boat, but other
1:30:22
people that I grew up with are not in that boat.
1:30:25
They've seen videos on fucking YouTube and shit before.
1:30:28
That was a thing, the first thing I knew.
1:30:30
Like discovered what drifting was was definitely need for
1:30:33
speed underground. Yeah cuz there's, you know,
1:30:36
circus Sprint, drag and drift. You're right if you are.
1:30:41
If you got some friends over your house and you're trying to
1:30:44
just yell at the TV's, put it on drag and put them on the same
1:30:48
cars. And it is.
1:30:50
It's a good time. I'm trying to get need for
1:30:52
speed. In here because that was one of
1:30:53
my favorite games. We have D1 GP.
1:30:55
What? The PlayStation.
1:30:57
Game yeah, I think we. Might have that it's.
1:30:59
So fun. I don't know if we do.
1:31:01
It's so hard you have your Xbox but.
1:31:03
You. Like in tandem battle.
1:31:04
And your bumpers fall off and there's like the little guys in
1:31:08
the bottom corner yelling at, yeah, that's.
1:31:11
Cool. Damn that games were fun.
1:31:14
That was an underrated. Game and now I'm going to have
1:31:15
to go go home and play that. Well, one question.
1:31:19
Was when is president coming to Cali?
1:31:21
But you went there already man. Already been there.
1:31:24
Been there. Yeah, when?
1:31:25
Will the Teggy be back up on the road as?
1:31:28
Soon as I get back, we'll look. Into it OK the.
1:31:32
Trains blew up. Right before we left.
1:31:34
This is one of your boys. Outside, unlock the car so we
1:31:36
can get the RC cars. That's why Malcolm needed your
1:31:40
keys. That's actually.
1:31:42
Hilarious. Oh, and then?
1:31:45
Another one. That was another one.
1:31:46
OK, He's like, ask him about the car.
1:31:51
What do you think of the? Australian cars or the
1:31:53
Australian car scene, if you know anything about that, I
1:31:56
guess. So I don't really know too.
1:31:58
Much. I know they're big on R BS in
1:32:00
like straight sixes. Yeah, right.
1:32:01
That's pretty sick. An era they.
1:32:03
Got all those? Cars like and we didn't get none
1:32:05
of them. Like they got Skylines and SOS
1:32:07
and all that shit. So yeah, that's like nothing to
1:32:09
them now. I think importing from.
1:32:10
Japan too was a lot more feasible.
1:32:13
Way closer. And the import.
1:32:15
Laws too, I'm sure, yeah. I watched Mighty Car Mods a lot
1:32:19
growing up and they were always importing shit, so I was like,
1:32:23
oh Dang, they've been in the game, yeah.
1:32:24
Like they I. Wonder how they're doing now.
1:32:26
But this is Ken Fuji, one of. Our friends, do you regret
1:32:29
rebuilding? It says.
1:32:32
Rebuilding V chassis swapping OK Do you regret rebuilding versus
1:32:37
chassis swapping the 240SX? No regrets I'd.
1:32:40
Do the same thing again. Yeah, I don't think you have
1:32:42
any. Regrets doesn't seem like keep
1:32:43
the story alive. Yeah.
1:32:46
One guy just said. Oh, it's fucking Nico Boogie
1:32:48
out. That's our drift team.
1:32:50
OK, Keep it fun. Yeah, I was going to.
1:32:52
Ask you about. That too, but I was like, I
1:32:54
don't know if you have a drift team or something but I guess
1:32:56
not especially. That's our RC drift team.
1:32:58
OK, OK. Dude, but imagine it makes it.
1:33:01
From like a scale to like OK Nico posted.
1:33:03
A video where it's me and him doing a line at US Air and then
1:33:07
us doing a line in RC. Like side by side it's the same
1:33:11
line. That's same transition, same
1:33:14
lead, follow. That's cool.
1:33:16
Yeah, I think that that. Helps.
1:33:18
Because you know how people SIM, people play Frankie learn
1:33:21
drifting from Forza Motorsport 4 pretty much.
1:33:24
So like do you think with that there is some sort of oh, 100%?
1:33:29
You think so because you have to position your car right know if
1:33:32
you want to do low angle for to speed up wide angle.
1:33:35
Also big entries you can do like back ease and you can have you
1:33:39
have to set up your suspension differently to drive
1:33:41
differently. So you kind of learn the dynamic
1:33:44
there and plus where you put the components on the chassis for
1:33:48
the weight. Alignment.
1:33:50
I didn't even think about the fact that.
1:33:52
Like it's. A SIM, you kind of just hit go,
1:33:55
you know, and I'm sure you can adjust all that still that's
1:33:57
true there's a physical. Aspect.
1:33:59
Physical aspect. To it.
1:34:00
That's what's missing on the. SIM.
1:34:01
So you're you're there looking at it and it's tangible.
1:34:04
SIM has its own. Perks over RC of course, but I
1:34:07
like something physical personally.
1:34:10
Hey, that's boogie out. Damn.
1:34:12
Look at the banner on the. Glass the boogie up there.
1:34:15
Yeah, this is cool. Yeah, I mean, dude, the the we
1:34:18
helped build this track in. Wisconsin.
1:34:20
I was going to say, whose track is this?
1:34:21
Like where? This is my brother's basement.
1:34:23
Right here. What the fuck?
1:34:26
This is pretty legit. This Nico, he's entry God.
1:34:30
Oh yeah. That's my boy 10 fuck.
1:34:34
With that, Dave. Dave, Dave set.
1:34:36
He's the one that makes our bodies OK.
1:34:38
He made the S13. Dude I love the mixed.
1:34:40
Matched. Fuck I love the origin grey
1:34:42
fenders. Yeah, why aren't they?
1:34:45
In Fryer I. Love it, but like wait makes the
1:34:49
bodies out of what they come clear.
1:34:52
And you have to like, cut it out, paint it.
1:34:55
Oh, it's pretty. Difficult to make a body.
1:34:57
Look good for your first time. So I'm seeing a lot of
1:35:00
questions. On here that involve a Fiero
1:35:03
really. Do you have a Fiero?
1:35:05
What the fuck I? Do OK kind.
1:35:08
Of interesting because you know you wouldn't expect me to have a
1:35:11
Fiero. Yeah, but that was a project
1:35:14
that my friend Dan started. He's from the Midwest.
1:35:18
He lived on the street from me and he ended up having to move
1:35:22
and couldn't take the project car with him.
1:35:24
OK, So I ended up, well, they shout out to my brother, it's
1:35:28
just sitting at his house. But Dan is the reason, part of
1:35:32
the reason I'd say at least 1/3 of why I have this grit of like,
1:35:36
get out there and grind and get it done.
1:35:38
Because we would just pull up to Dan's house and just tinker
1:35:41
around with the cars and he would teach us the basics.
1:35:44
He taught me how to do an oil change.
1:35:45
Basically. We'll put it at that and then
1:35:47
brakes. And then from there it was like
1:35:50
fabbing exhaust or making this exhaust in this car fit this car
1:35:54
and he's responsible for your. Entire life.
1:35:56
Yeah. Yeah, this.
1:35:57
Honestly. Dan ruined the whole life.
1:35:58
Yeah, 100%. So not ruined, but he was.
1:36:03
Going to just junk the. Car I'm like no way we were mid
1:36:06
B18 swap. Yeah, that's what I see here.
1:36:08
B series Yeah, damn of the. Fiero.
1:36:11
Yeah. So it's nothing like it's
1:36:16
nothing crazy. But like, you know, garage
1:36:18
junkyard build, Yeah. And you guys kind of just.
1:36:20
Put a pause on that for now. Like, yeah, we've already.
1:36:23
Converted the rear to fit a drivetrain.
1:36:26
There's a drivetrain in it right now.
1:36:27
It's actually my blown B20 out of my sedan.
1:36:30
OK, but it's it's fitted as ADC 2 subframe.
1:36:36
Somehow we made. That fit?
1:36:38
Yeah. D2.
1:36:39
Shock towers too. Actually it's been a while.
1:36:40
I'm trying to like think about it.
1:36:42
I think you. Guys got to work on that thing.
1:36:44
That thing sounds like it's going to blow up the fucking
1:36:45
Internet. I know that's done that.
1:36:49
I think is going to work really nice because if the AW11MR2 is
1:36:55
literally just a Corolla chassis that they've not the not the
1:36:59
Corollas we like, but like an FX, Yeah, yeah.
1:37:03
And they just. Put that in there.
1:37:04
Flipped. So.
1:37:06
You guys. Are kind of on, you know?
1:37:09
Oh, yeah. Oh, OK, that might be that might
1:37:13
be kind of sick actually. Someone someone also.
1:37:15
Said like if you could own any American car or muscle car, what
1:37:18
would it be besides a Fiero A? Lot of fiero.
1:37:21
Yeah, dude. I don't.
1:37:23
Know, man, I love classic American cars.
1:37:25
Oh, you do? Oh yeah.
1:37:26
OK, obviously I've never owned one, but.
1:37:29
The body lines are crazy. Imagine the stamping on the
1:37:32
quarters, like when they come out like 6 inches and they go
1:37:35
back in. Yeah, that's crazy to me.
1:37:37
That's cool. All metal.
1:37:38
All metal. I love that.
1:37:41
Yeah, I don't know shit about. Those cars.
1:37:43
But yeah, sometimes I see one and I'm like, damn, I see them
1:37:45
in junk yards. You know, when I'm exploring,
1:37:48
I'm like, damn, these body lines go crazy.
1:37:50
Yeah, yeah. From the 50s and stuff.
1:37:53
There was a. Raffle recently where this guy,
1:37:57
I don't know where he's from, Northeast somewhere, Kyle, Kyle
1:37:59
Reedy, he was like, Oh yeah, he was raffling off this 50s Ford.
1:38:03
And I wanted it so badly because I didn't know anything about it.
1:38:08
Like, I don't know anything about what?
1:38:09
I don't have a business. I don't have any business being
1:38:11
in a 50s Ford. But it would be sick.
1:38:14
And I could see the I could see the potential, right?
1:38:17
Potential. I could drive.
1:38:18
This to the. Grocery store and everyone will
1:38:21
be pissed at Yeah what are. Those 2 door.
1:38:23
Pickups. Like those Caminos that yeah,
1:38:26
no, that would fit. Your lifestyle pretty bugging.
1:38:30
I've had my eyes looking for them, but they're always what
1:38:32
would you put it in what? Would you put it in?
1:38:34
There's the answer. Right now I.
1:38:34
Think 2 J would be. Yeah.
1:38:38
You're mad A little. Bit of.
1:38:39
Torque. Now and you can drift.
1:38:40
It you could drift it. You could put stuff in the bed.
1:38:43
Sound good? Yeah.
1:38:44
That'd be. Good.
1:38:46
Favorite. It was on for 13. 100 bucks, you
1:38:48
know what I mean? Yeah, I.
1:38:49
Kind of question. Your favorite skate video or
1:38:51
game and favorite band from the mid 2000s.
1:38:54
That's why I'm asking you this question.
1:38:55
I want to hear this answer. Mid 2000s Does everything have
1:39:00
to be mid 2000's the. Skate video can be whatever I
1:39:02
think, man. Skate video that's.
1:39:04
A hard one to choose just one. Because I.
1:39:08
I feel like I relate more to Baker style stuff but my friends
1:39:13
and I would always watch pretty sweet after a skate session and
1:39:17
just fall asleep to it which is like a.
1:39:19
Handful. Handful of these.
1:39:21
You've probably seen more skate videos than me.
1:39:22
I feel like what? Pretty sweet.
1:39:23
Is which? That's girl and.
1:39:25
Chocolate. That's when they first started
1:39:27
doing like 4K120 frame video. It's like super HD.
1:39:32
You brought out the fucking. What is it, fallen shoes?
1:39:34
They got fallen dude. That shit's crazy.
1:39:38
That's like some throwback. What is this?
1:39:40
Oh, this is it. Oh, this is pretty sweet.
1:39:44
Oh, Eddie's playing it for. Us.
1:39:45
Yeah, dude, dude. Skate video's always.
1:39:47
Fucking it's fucking sick dude. Look at the.
1:39:50
Look at the group of friends on the ground that are just like
1:39:53
what the actual fuck? No, this is a classic.
1:39:56
Yeah. There's a.
1:39:58
Lot of time that went into this. That's why I like it.
1:40:00
Yeah. But Baker's more like they go
1:40:03
for an organic feel of like, what's going on?
1:40:06
Yeah, yeah, this. Is more like edited and like
1:40:09
yeah, yeah, I see. So two different styles that's.
1:40:11
Why I can't pick just one? Because I try and combine both
1:40:14
of those styles into my content. I need to watch that.
1:40:17
Video. Because that dude skate videos
1:40:19
are the best. Inspiration for anything I
1:40:21
watch. Skate videos but I never.
1:40:23
Yeah, I don't. I couldn't name 1.
1:40:25
I don't watch enough of them. Yeah.
1:40:27
And that one looks like it. Carries.
1:40:28
Like I don't know, that vibe that you're mentioning is one
1:40:31
that I like too. I could probably just watch that
1:40:34
100% and what kind. Of music, mid 2000s.
1:40:38
Like one band? Yeah, it says one band.
1:40:40
One, it says their favorite band but you can do top three if you
1:40:43
want or something. I didn't know the timelines of
1:40:46
these. Bands I don't know either,
1:40:47
right? The fact that they're even
1:40:48
asking them like is are you a music connoisseur?
1:40:51
They must want to. No, Yeah.
1:40:52
I do, I do listen to music. Well, that's a.
1:40:55
Good sign I listen to noises. And I'm like, Oh yeah, I mean,
1:40:59
census fail comes to mind. Yo what?
1:41:02
The fuck, dude? That was the best answer you
1:41:05
could have ever said. In this room right now, man.
1:41:08
Yeah, That's New Jersey. That's literally from.
1:41:09
Oh, they're from Jersey. Yeah.
1:41:10
Bergen. County bro that.
1:41:11
Didn't know that. Literally from my town.
1:41:14
Like that's 100% yeah. Wow, look at the draw.
1:41:17
Dude, that's crazy. I love you, right?
1:41:21
Now that's awesome. Dude that made me so happy.
1:41:24
That's not planned. That was crazy.
1:41:27
Yo since his fail was like the album with the.
1:41:30
When he has his hand on the mirror still.
1:41:32
Oh no. Let it unfold you, yeah.
1:41:34
Let it unfold you Yeah. On repeat.
1:41:36
Yep, 100%. I remember learning.
1:41:38
Switch blunt stalls at the skate park, and I would do those all
1:41:42
week long, listening to that album on repeat.
1:41:44
My headphones, dude. So whenever I see that, I think
1:41:47
I'm doing switch blunts. Yeah, that album.
1:41:49
Is fucking amazing, bro. So when we did one of our final
1:41:52
bout trips, we just me, AJ and someone, we just blasted this
1:41:57
album the whole way through, saying every fucking lyric for
1:41:59
like fucking Ohio or some shit. Your album, Yeah.
1:42:02
That. One and still searching the one
1:42:04
after that Yeah those are amazing.
1:42:06
But yeah dude, I don't know maybe we could time out a
1:42:08
concert when you when you come here next.
1:42:10
That would be sick. They still doing shows?
1:42:12
Oh hell. Yeah, Hell yeah.
1:42:14
That that's awesome. Next question, favorite Fast and
1:42:16
Furious scene? I like this question.
1:42:18
This question is great. I feel like you need a ponder.
1:42:22
You can ponder on that. A little bit if you want that,
1:42:25
I'll go, honestly. Dude, it's so like, not really

What the fuck? That is one of the best things.
1:42:38
That's OK. That's so.
1:42:39
Short. Yep.
1:42:40
But that was so essential to like their dynamic.
1:42:43
Yeah, if they didn't put. That in there they would have
1:42:45
fucked the whole movie. You would have been like they.
1:42:47
They. Even know what you know what I
1:42:48
like it had a. Zeal kit.

1:43:40
Oh yeah, back then, like, that's cool.
1:43:42
Man, that scene is all cars that were.
1:43:44
Built by people then, and a lot of them were Hondas too.

He goes, you brought the Buster back.
1:44:15

1:44:17
That's not the line, though. The line is.
1:44:20
And he goes, what? Did he say?
1:44:22
He said. Like there was a time when I
1:44:23
didn't know you. There was a time when I didn't.
1:44:25
Know you, he said. That was in the third grade.
1:44:29
That was the best line, I'm sorry.
1:44:32
He's like Vince. There was a time I didn't know
1:44:33
you. That was in the third grade.
1:44:35
What about in that same? Scene when he when he goes,
1:44:40
can't detail a car with the hood on.
1:44:42
Yeah. With the cover.
1:44:43
On Yeah. Can't even get that.
1:44:45
Right. I'm like, get that right?
1:44:46
That whole. Party scene was like, that was
1:44:49
the funniest moment from that fucking movie.
1:44:51
I cha cha cha. Yeah, yeah.
1:44:53
Cha. Cha cha oh, you could take me
1:44:55
there. That shit was crazy.
1:44:59
I remember being a kid. Like.
1:45:01
Godly, like what did you just say?
1:45:04
I will. Always love.
1:45:05
That movie, I don't care what anyone says.
1:45:06
I agree that movie is amazing and there's a weird.
1:45:09
Now that I'm going to point this out, maybe somebody else can,
1:45:12
but when they drink Snapple in that movie, I can almost taste
1:45:15
that glass bottle that means they paid for.
1:45:17
It because that's usually how No, no, you just know the.
1:45:19
Bottle of a Snapple she's like you want to go on glass the.
1:45:22
Glass. Bottle.
1:45:23
Snapples used to just. Oh yeah, I.
1:45:26
Remember like a. Kiwi Strawberry.
1:45:28
One fuck, I could taste the plaque on my teeth.
1:45:31
Damn. It's that bad.
1:45:32
Yeah. Three car.
1:45:34
Youtubers you would like to meet?
1:45:39
Jimmy Oakes. I thought you met him.
1:45:41
DJ No way. Wait, these are all your
1:45:44
friends? And Adam OZ.
1:45:47
Hell yeah. I think you met all them.
1:45:49
I didn't meet Adam. You didn't meet Adam?
1:45:51
No. OK, it was Valentine's Day when
1:45:53
we went. So fair.
1:45:54
Fair. Fair, Yeah.
1:45:56
But but you knew Jimmy. Already, right.
1:45:58
You didn't meet him on this trip?
1:46:00
No. OK, I already.
1:46:00
Met him. You already knew him.
1:46:02
OK, yeah. And then who was the other one?
1:46:04
DJ? No way.
1:46:05
So that's the one I don't. Know he's here.
1:46:07
He's here. Like literally right here.
1:46:09
Yeah, he came with us. Oh shit, whoops.
1:46:12
No, you're good. You're good.
1:46:13
I didn't ask. Anybody Jimmy's they have.
1:46:15
Shops like across the street OK. Never mind, I think I do because
1:46:19
I recognize one or two people there and ants with them too.
1:46:22
OK, that's what it. Is then because I was going to
1:46:24
ask you later be like, why do I recognize someone?
1:46:27
But now, now it's making sense. And the shop by Jimmy, he's that
1:46:32
shop was sick. When I went there.
1:46:33
Dude, it's crazy. Like they got a lot of like.
1:46:36
Really cool OEM type shit in there too, right?
1:46:39
And does he sell parts or? I don't think he sells parts?
1:46:41
He doesn't. OK, he's hoarders.
1:46:43
Like us? OK, that makes sense.
1:46:44
That checks out. He's hoarders.
1:46:46
Like us, You saw the bag room Dude.
1:46:48
I like this question form. Versus function, which do you
1:46:50
value more and why? Definitely.
1:46:55
You want to say more? You've got to say form, right?
1:46:59
Off the rim, yeah, we're. It's got to be a balance.
1:47:01
Though you can't just keep one, but they're picking.
1:47:04
Form. Right, it's got to look good.
1:47:07
Yeah, it's got to look good. But it has to.
1:47:09
Function dude. It has to work, but you can make
1:47:11
it work. If it looks good, that's where
1:47:14
it. Won't be ideal.
1:47:15
But it'll that's where people fall.
1:47:16
Off they're like. I don't know if I want to make
1:47:18
this work. Done.
1:47:21
How do you how do you feel? About S fourteens or fifteens.
1:47:23
I love all S. Chassis.

This shit is sick. It started in Brooklyn, but now
1:49:01
they do them all over. Really.
1:49:02
Yeah. And it's awesome.
1:49:03
You would like, just move to Jersey and you'll you'll figure
1:49:05
it out. It sounds pretty cool out here.
1:49:07
Yeah. It's.
1:49:08
Expensive, Mike. It's expensive.
1:49:09
I want to get out. I'm trying to get out.
1:49:12
What motivates? You when you aren't in the mood
1:49:14
to film slash work on cars, it's.
1:49:17
Probably not so much. Motivation as it comes down to
1:49:20
discipline. It's like this needs to happen.
1:49:22
We're going to do it. I like that.
1:49:24
That is a. Perfect.
1:49:25
That is you 2 over there. Yeah, cuz.
1:49:28
I'm over here. Like I can have a day cuz if you
1:49:30
don't feel. Like it, It's not gonna get
1:49:32
done. Yeah, You know what I mean?
1:49:34
You kind of have to just do. It this is the life you chose.
1:49:37
This is what you're doing. Yeah, You can have some down
1:49:39
days, but right, it's like we gotta get it done.
1:49:41
So it's gotta happen, yeah. Is there a secret meeting behind
1:49:45
the 666 license plate? There's four sixes.
1:49:48
Oh OK, but no, I actually wanted nines.
1:49:52
Yeah, to be real with you. But my friend YB, he came with
1:49:56
us. He gave me that plate right
1:49:57
before we left, OK. Nine's my favorite number.
1:50:02
There's so many in here I'm. Sorry, I'm sure.
1:50:04
How's my basketball number I? Don't know why that 9
1:50:07
correlation is crazy. Yeah, that's nuts.
1:50:09
This is why. Is there a connection there?
1:50:11
This is a question that's perfect.
1:50:12
For this podcast, So what is considered over building a car
1:50:16
drift drift car versus what you think is necessary?
1:50:19
Like what would you think over building a car for drifting
1:50:21
would be? That's.
1:50:25
I can go a lot of directions. I think it depends on where you
1:50:28
personally are in your drifting career.
1:50:30
Like if you are just getting into drifting and you're wanting
1:50:34
to go out and do it, over building to me would mean you're
1:50:38
putting angle kit on right away. You're installing an E brake.
1:50:43
You know you're doing these things that you.
1:50:43
Don't really need to actually go out and do the drift.
1:50:47
That's that's what I always. Think when I hear a question
1:50:49
like this, I'm like, OK, probably a new drifter, right?
1:50:52
Like. Just go out and drive what you.
1:50:54
Got yeah, that's that's. Our mentality usually that.
1:50:58
Wasn't just the mentality. It was like I did literally
1:51:00
didn't have a choice. Yeah, you didn't have a choice.
1:51:02
Either I think I'm going to drive.
1:51:04
This but now everything. Everything's so like accessible
1:51:07
now and people like you doing YouTube videos, like people have
1:51:10
more information like, so they're like, oh, maybe I should
1:51:12
do this, Maybe I should do that. And it's like, I feel like
1:51:14
people get too overwhelmed with shit.
1:51:17
And then like there's just so many options now.
1:51:19
It's like, I gotta get GK tech everything.
1:51:21
It's like, I don't think people are trying.
1:51:22
To figure things out anymore. That's why I like watching
1:51:25
Mike's channel. Yeah, cuz you're not giving us
1:51:27
like a how to how to rebuild a Gloria.
1:51:31
It's like here, rebuild this Gloria with me.
1:51:33
Yeah, I'm like, I have no idea what I'm.
1:51:34
Doing Here we go. Like I'm at the store.
1:51:37
This this drill bit says it drills out spot.
1:51:39
Well, it's pretty good. So like really someone's?
1:51:43
Basically, basically, he asked what's the furthest you've
1:51:47
brought a car back to life like the like the 180 would.
1:51:50
Would you say that was the one? Probably Gloria, if you think.
1:51:52
About it, that one's like kind of done OK, if that's what he
1:51:55
means by furthest point, like like, like.
1:51:57
Like the furthest damage. Is definitely yes.
1:52:00
That was 13, definitely. That one.
1:52:02
OK, was in. Half dude.
1:52:04
Yeah, Gloria, it looks like they drove it around and moved.
1:52:07
Jesus. I think in this spread.
1:52:11
There's a picture of it. Just frame rails.
1:52:13
That's so sick. Oh yeah, where?
1:52:15
The top of it was gone. Yeah.
1:52:17
If you, if it's on here, it would look pretty.
1:52:20
Yeah, yeah, Yeah. Well.
1:52:21
I don't even know. No, it's more often than.
1:52:23
That. Maybe I didn't put in the.
1:52:26
Spread ha ha. But hey, yeah.
1:52:29
I drifted though. Let me read you the actual.
1:52:33
Let me read. You the actual question.
1:52:35
Maybe I'm wording it wrong. We've seen it with the 240, but
1:52:38
what's the farthest gone you'd bring back to life?
1:52:41
One of your cars? OK, so if it could get worse
1:52:44
than that, do you think it could get worse than that?
1:52:47
OK, yeah, there's only like. Less than 20% original left on
1:52:52
that car. That's fucking crazy.
1:52:54
The door on the opposite. Side and the quarter panel that
1:52:57
that video. Where it was.
1:52:59
Apart like that and it was framed whatever it just.
1:53:04
Looked like it was never. Going to happen anymore dude
1:53:07
like. You take a car apart.
1:53:10
And you turn around and look at it, you're like, oh shit, like I
1:53:13
got to put this back together, like mine right now that.
1:53:16
Was probably the most. Overwhelming sight to see.
1:53:19
Every time you came home, it was.
1:53:21
Only overwhelming because it was on a deadline.
1:53:23
I only had a certain amount of time to rebuild the car in my
1:53:26
friend's garage. So it's like I have to get this
1:53:29
done because this is the last day I can be here.
1:53:32
Like you needed any more pressure?
1:53:34
And the. Gloria was pressured.
1:53:35
I had to get. Out by Thanksgiving Day for that
1:53:37
one. And so it left me with less than
1:53:39
two months to rebuild it. God.
1:53:42
Damn it, Mike, you. Need your own place?
1:53:44
You you need. You.
1:53:45
Need your own place. I feel like I got that from the.
1:53:47
Skate contest, though, because I did a lot of skate contests
1:53:51
growing up and I'd win a lot of them.
1:53:52
I would practice my lines and practice my tricks and just get
1:53:55
dialed in. So like, pressure makes me like,
1:53:57
work harder in a way. Yeah, That's good.
1:53:58
Yeah. That's definitely, that's
1:54:00
definitely a skill that some people have and then other
1:54:03
people. Definitely don't the lock.
1:54:04
In the lock, in the tunnel vision, ice in the veins.
1:54:06
Type of shit that would be that is my weakness because then I
1:54:11
act on like a lot of emotion if I'm like behind the wheel or
1:54:14
something like that. So my heart is probably pumping
1:54:16
out of my mouth and I'm just like.
1:54:21
Playing rock and. Roll music.
1:54:22
Just so I'm like, yeah, this is this is really fuel of fire
1:54:25
here. People are wondering.
1:54:27
Plans for your Impala, also known as R34.
1:54:31
I mean as you. Guys have heard I'd like to 25
1:54:34
neo swap it. Yeah, yeah.
1:54:36
And then? Tomorrow, Kit.
1:54:38
Yeah, tomorrow. If he sells me.
1:54:40
The engine. It'll do tomorrow.
1:54:42
Tommy, please. Yeah.
1:54:44
That would be cool. We need.
1:54:45
To all call them up. But you know, body kit wheels,
1:54:49
drift build, drift build OK, just like all the other ones.
1:54:52
Just like the wheels from the 13.
1:54:53
Right. Yeah, Yeah.
1:54:56
Love those. Your ass.
1:54:59
Yeah, that's going to. Be the last question.
1:55:01
I'm keeping that last. OK, we're almost done here.
1:55:05
What? Sorry people want you to come
1:55:08
out to Oklahoma, just to let you know, Oklahoma, actually.
1:55:11
Have Oklahoma plates they want you to skate.
1:55:13
And drift out there. I didn't know you could drift in
1:55:15
Oklahoma, but they got drift tracks in.
1:55:17
Oklahoma. I'll find out.
1:55:18
Yeah, dude, yo that. I've never heard a lot about
1:55:22
Oklahoma, but imagine like that's the hack.
1:55:24
We all just go to Oklahoma greenery.
1:55:28
All right, two more questions. What's your favorite vehicle out
1:55:32
of all the ones you own and why? Well, has.
1:55:35
To be the S13, I think all the time and memories, I think that
1:55:39
went into that car shine past all the others, yeah.
1:55:42
Definitely. There's a lot of lot of crazy
1:55:45
shit going on with that car and you got the whole history before
1:55:47
you even did exactly all that the.
1:55:49
Trauma. Bond, the trauma bond.
1:55:51
The trauma bond is so real, the trauma bond you have.
1:55:54
With that car is well, Jimmy has a car like that.
1:55:56
Too Remember when we talked about that Ek that he has that
1:55:59
Ek swap? He was like, I worked so many
1:56:01
hours on this that I almost can't look at it.
1:56:03
Yeah, but he won't get rid. Of it, but he won't get rid of
1:56:05
it. Yeah, no.
1:56:06
Yeah, you die with the car like that, OK.
1:56:09
Last question, would you rather have a 240SX that never runs out
1:56:13
of gas or a 240SX that never breaks down?
1:56:16
Runs out of gas might. Never really breakdown.
1:56:18
Yeah, run. Yeah, I feel the same.
1:56:19
Way yeah, runs out of gas. Yeah, never fill up the gas
1:56:23
thing again. Dude I got an unlimited.
1:56:25
Gas card for the 240? Yeah, dude, what?
1:56:27
Put a good driveway they. Don't really get just.
1:56:29
Get mad. Oil if you're.
1:56:32
If you got a 240 and that's just breaking on you all the time,
1:56:34
that problem might be you, because those cars are pretty
1:56:37
fucking reliable. Yeah, like KA.
1:56:39
Dude when it was. KA and the Z.
1:56:40
Did you have any problems? No or.
1:56:42
When it was. Not G30 turbo, I never had a
1:56:45
problem with that. Car.
1:56:46
Yeah, yeah, other. Than the.
1:56:48
Clamps busting off. I got the HD clamps that like
1:56:50
have the pin for the inner clear piping.
1:56:53
OK, so not the rubber couple. Yeah, yeah.
1:56:56
Those were just. Bust apart.
1:56:57
Really. Yeah.
1:56:58
I never. Really.
1:56:59
Use those? Honestly, I'm not going to any
1:57:01
I'm. Scared of them I'm like I bought
1:57:02
them I'm. Like.
1:57:03
Don't. Worry about those?
1:57:04
Yeah. What do I have?
1:57:06
Yeah, I got to look at that stuff.
1:57:07
What happened to T Bolt? Clamps.
1:57:08
That's what I have. I I fucking hate those.
1:57:10
Two, honestly, I, I, I have a thing with clamps.
1:57:12
Clamps. Yeah.
1:57:13
I'm like worm clamp. Cool.
1:57:14
Like everything else. I'm like the worm clamps that
1:57:17
have the the ring that goes behind the actual whatever worm
1:57:22
part or whatever the fuck. So it protects it.
1:57:25
Those those are nice. Are fucking perfect, yeah, are.
1:57:28
Constant pressure clamps, what are they called?
1:57:30
Yeah, yeah, Those two, the ones that you use on.

Thank you man, that was great. Yo, that was fun.
1:59:31
It was fun hang. On yo it was dude.
1:59:35
Since this fail. She was crazy.
1:59:36
I I've never zoned your. Face light.
1:59:41
Up all right. So that was the prison mic
1:59:43
episode. I'm here with Eddie because
1:59:45
Malcolm wasn't well, Malcolm was working because we did that.
1:59:49
We did this podcast during the day for the first time.
1:59:51
That was the first. Work hours after.
1:59:54
Hours podcast episode. Yeah, that was during.
1:59:58
Hours. Yeah, that was during work.
1:59:59
Hours. So that was interesting.
2:00:02
How did how did you feel about that?
2:00:03
Eddie A. Little stressed at the
2:00:05
beginning, but I started getting the hang of it.
2:00:08
I started typing stuff while changing the camera.
2:00:10
Yeah, that shit was kind of fun. I was trying to.
2:00:12
Throw you some work to do and see if you could do it because
2:00:17
like. As much.
2:00:18
As people think that everyone here knows about cars and
2:00:21
everything, it's like you and Malcolm don't.
2:00:24
You're not really. You weren't really in the scene
2:00:26
before you worked here. So I'm just like, look at, look
2:00:29
up this car. You probably like, what the fuck
2:00:31
is that car? Yeah.
2:00:33
Sometimes when you guys are having convos, I'm like.
2:00:36
Whatever you guys said. Anything.
2:00:37
Car. Yeah.
2:00:38
Oh, that's what it looks like. OK, so then you're like, look at
2:00:41
it on his page. I'm like, OK, now I have to find
2:00:43
it on his page. Yeah.
2:00:44
No, you were. Doing great.
2:00:45
I I was surprised you were doing that good.
2:00:47
And Carl said something about it too.
2:00:48
But. Yeah, no, it's.
2:00:50
Nice having. I mean, we have a luxury here
2:00:52
where we actually have someone producing our podcast, and to
2:00:56
have two people that can handle it is even better because
2:00:59
Malcolm was able to keep working while we were doing this
2:01:02
podcast. And the reason we did that
2:01:04
during the day was because we had that car meet planned.
2:01:07
Yeah, right after work. So which was crazy?
2:01:10
The car. Meet was.
2:01:11
Was was awesome, I thought I mean Eddie Eddie did a video on
2:01:16
this whole car meet. So that'll be coming out
2:01:18
tomorrow. But yes, it'll be.
2:01:20
Coming out on our YouTube channel which you should check
2:01:23
out because we have a lot of contact coming out weekly.
2:01:26
We got every video, a video coming out weekly, every Friday,
2:01:30
which is usually we had shop tours.
2:01:34
We have content like the Prism, Mike Carmi that that video is
2:01:38
going to be good, the shop tour. Video was probably the best
2:01:41
video. Would you say that's the best
2:01:42
video you ever made? I thought the.
2:01:44
Final bout 7/1 was OK but then learning from that the shop tour
2:01:50
1 is not the favorite 1 so if you guys want to check out.
2:01:52
Eddie's videos, make sure you check out our YouTube, give us
2:01:54
a, a follow if you can, please subscribe and yeah, anything
2:01:59
comment any of that stuff, but please subscribe.
2:02:02
We're trying to hit a number by a certain time.
2:02:04
So, so Eddie, can, you know, maybe he'll get a little bonus
2:02:08
or something. So help your boy out.
2:02:10
Help me help. Me.
2:02:12
But so the meat, the meat was cool, yeah.
2:02:17
You got arrested. Did you say you got?
2:02:19
Arrested. Yeah.
2:02:20
Didn't you get arrested? We had to.
2:02:21
We had to break you out, right? No, I did not get.
2:02:24
Arrested. Though the cops.
2:02:25
Did come. So the first meat spot was shut
2:02:27
down relatively fast, I would say 30 minutes or less.
2:02:30
Where were we at? We.
2:02:32
Were in. Edgewater Outback Steakhouse, I
2:02:36
literally only picked that spot so I could eat it at Outback
2:02:38
Steakhouse and I didn't even eat there.
2:02:39
So I was pretty mad, but and then we picked the backup spot.
2:02:42
I had absolutely no faith in this backup spot working.
2:02:45
Everyone was like looking at you like.
2:02:47
We had a little huddle session where it's like, all right,
2:02:50
we're getting shut down. Where are we going, Frankie?
2:02:52
And everyone turned at you and you're just like, I was like,
2:02:54
no, I don't make. I don't.
2:02:55
Throw carmies and then dude, we got lucky man I so we pulled up
2:03:00
to the next spot. We said hi for about 5 minutes
2:03:03
and then we said we're going to get food because that's what we
2:03:05
want to do and. I text Mike I.
2:03:07
Said yo, you're on your own. Good luck.
2:03:11
And he's like, yeah, thanks. And then I'm looking out the
2:03:15
window at the restaurant and I'm like, shit's popping off,
2:03:18
nothing's nothing's getting shut down.
2:03:20
And yeah, it lasted for over an hour before the cops came.
2:03:23
And the cops came only for one reason.
2:03:25
All of you douche bags that did burnouts in the fucking park.
2:03:28
They did burnouts. Yep, that's why they got kicked
2:03:30
out. You can't, you can never have
2:03:32
nothing nice like at any car meet because you have all these
2:03:35
idiots that think they're hot shit and they just want to do
2:03:37
burnouts. So yeah, you guys ruin the night
2:03:40
for everyone, so just keep that in mind next time you decide to
2:03:43
do a burnout and try to impress people that don't care about
2:03:45
your Honda Civic or whatever you're driving.
2:03:48
All right, moving on. I just had to say that hi guys,
2:03:51
we are doing a Stance XR1 coil over giveaway right now on the
2:03:54
website. There is basically one more day
2:03:57
to get those orders in. So now is the time if you guys
2:04:00
want any chance to win these coil overs for free, completely
2:04:03
free. Any car of your choosing, If
2:04:06
they sell them, we can get them, we can ship them out to you.
2:04:11
Spend $5 on the website, you get one entry.
2:04:13
Spend $5 on some faction merch. You get 2 entries at Mathworks,

2:04:29
We are going to be doing this every single month this year.
2:04:32
We're giving away stuff every month.
2:04:33
So if coilovers are not your thing, which they definitely
2:04:37
should be because that's probably the most important part
2:04:40
to a car. And if you're a drifter, which
2:04:42
most of you guys are, these coilovers are my go to for
2:04:46
customers coming in the shop. But yeah, if you're not into
2:04:49
coilovers, if you already just bought sans XR1 coilovers, then
2:04:53
check out next month's giveaways because we're going to be, we're
2:04:55
going to be doing that pretty much every month.
2:04:59
Some months are going to be better than others.
2:05:01
So I wouldn't, I definitely wouldn't wait around.
2:05:03
If you guys need anything at all, just put the order in.
2:05:07
You know you're you're taking a chance, but honestly.
2:05:10
We have so many. Things on the website now you
2:05:12
could order some stickers and have a chance to win so it's
2:05:15
like, why not what else we got going on Oh, we got the.
2:05:22
Patreon we have. The Patreon.
2:05:24
We have the Patreon. Where we have a bunch of people
2:05:27
on there already. We have 3 tiers, $5 tier that
2:05:31
gets you all the exclusive content.
2:05:33
Add free podcasts, bonus podcasts.
2:05:39
We have a $10 tier which is more so just a extra what'd.
2:05:44
You say, yeah, this. Is this is the?
2:05:46
Hardest one for me to explain because Malcolm just threw this
2:05:48
tier in there. I gave it a name I forgot.
2:05:50
It was just like extra support. Yeah, that's what I called.
2:05:53
It it's like you ain't getting shit, but you're helping us out
2:05:55
more. I'm like, OK, I guess that's one
2:05:57
way to to do it. But I've seen that I've seen
2:05:59
people do that before on Patreon.
2:06:00
So yeah, it's a. Little, you know, $5 you, you're
2:06:04
giving $5 and you're like, you know, I really like these guys.
2:06:06
Yeah, I'll give a little more, which is great for us because.
2:06:09
This is dude. People think people think you
2:06:12
make money doing this stuff. We we make no money doing this
2:06:14
stuff. I I'm literally in the in the
2:06:16
midst of a panic right now, So we're any anything helps us.
2:06:19
So if you if you guys like this podcast, definitely check out
2:06:22
the Patreon that he's talking about.
2:06:23
There's also what, a third tier? Yes, the.
2:06:26
The highest tier, the $15 tier, which is the care package, where
2:06:31
whenever we give out merch or whenever we have a new merch
2:06:34
drop. You as a. $15 member tier get a
2:06:38
little care package sent to you yeah we try to put.
2:06:40
Together a care pack. The last care package was
2:06:42
probably the best one so far. That 1 was definitely the one.
2:06:44
That had yeah, because. It's like, you know, we even had
2:06:47
a matchstick. We had stickers we had, it was
2:06:50
just like you got a bunch of stuff.
2:06:51
It wasn't just, it wasn't just a shirt, you know, it was, it was
2:06:54
whatever we could, whatever we could work out to give a, to
2:06:58
give away. I love the Patreon.
2:07:00
I'm trying to make more content for it.
2:07:01
It's just. I mean, I'm.
2:07:04
I'm basically working 24/7, so like I there's not many times
2:07:09
when we can film. Yeah, I've been.
2:07:12
Trying to find like other things like the photos that I take that
2:07:15
I usually put on the Instagram. Sometimes they don't fit the the
2:07:19
Instagram like aspect ratio. So I'm like it was a nice photo.
2:07:23
So I'll put it on the Patreon, Patreon members only.
2:07:26
That's a good idea too. So you just get extra content.
2:07:29
I mean, wasn't the, oh, you did, you used to do faction weeklies?
2:07:32
You still do some of those? Yeah, sometimes.
2:07:34
It's been hard to like film now that I have more stuff.
2:07:38
Yeah, the thing was the faction. Weekly What?
2:07:41
Wasn't that a prequel to The Hot Lap?
2:07:46
Yes. Kind of doing it, yeah, we were
2:07:48
doing. It was like more.
2:07:50
No, not really. No, it was more.
2:07:52
Like just. Vlogs.
2:07:53
OK. Because we wanted.
2:07:56
The hot lap to be named Faction Weekly, but it was kind of weird
2:08:00
to have it in that. So the Faction weekly.
2:08:02
Is more like an in depth hot lap video.
2:08:05
When they do come out, it's more like behind the scenes and
2:08:08
everything like we're we can play real music on there.
2:08:11
Like we don't have to shut the music off every time we filmed,
2:08:13
which honestly kills the vibe a lot.
2:08:16
When you have to shut the music off, it kills the vibe a lot.
2:08:19
So the faction weekly videos and the other videos we put on the
2:08:23
Patreon are really, really good content compared to our YouTube.
2:08:27
So definitely check that out. That's pretty much all we got
2:08:31
going on right now. This video that Eddie's putting
2:08:35
together for tomorrow is, I think, going to be funny as
2:08:39
hell. I know I'm just thinking of one
2:08:41
specific scene that it's definitely funny.
2:08:43
So thank you guys for all basically anyone who came out to
2:08:46
the meet, thank you for stopping by.
2:08:49
It was way bigger than we thought it was going to be.
2:08:51
And yeah, we had a good time. Thank you guys for listening to
2:08:55
the podcast. I hope everyone enjoys this one.
2:08:57
I did have an amazing time on this episode because I didn't
2:09:00
really know Mike that well. I didn't know him basically at
2:09:03
all. I met him one time and I heard I
2:09:06
knew of him because of his car story with the 180.
2:09:10
But like, I didn't actually. Know him as a person so getting
2:09:14
to talk to him and like learn about his.
2:09:17
Basically. Trials and tribulations of all
2:09:20
these cars first hand was awesome.
2:09:23
Like now I'm going to go subscribe to his channel.
2:09:25
I'm going to try to keep up to date on it because it's it's
2:09:27
pretty interesting. He's definitely someone to.
2:09:30
Keep tabs on Yeah, for sure you. Seemed like you wanted to.
2:09:34
Get him stationed over here. Oh yeah, for sure.
2:09:37
I. Want him to move to he's kind
2:09:38
of, he's kind of looking for a place to live right now.
2:09:41
And I was like, come on, we got senses fail.
2:09:43
We got all the music you like. Yeah.
2:09:45
No, I, I, I love New Jersey, so I hope other people like it as
2:09:49
much as I do. But I tried to show them a good
2:09:52
time last night. I mean, we purposely went down
2:09:54
Route 3 so he could see the skyline and everything, the city
2:09:58
from Route 3 and see the Empire State Building, which is
2:10:01
basically one of my favorite drives or rides on a motorcycle.
2:10:05
If I, if I feel like dealing with a shit ton of cars on the
2:10:08
road, that's the road I take down the River Road and then I
2:10:10
ride that back up north. So, but he texted me while we
2:10:13
were on that road. He's like, yo, this is sick.
2:10:15
I was like, OK, cool. So yeah, so it, it, it worked.
2:10:19
My plan worked. So hopefully, hopefully he comes
2:10:22
back and we do some more videos with him and the whole crew he
2:10:25
brought was were awesome. Like everyone, everyone was
2:10:28
cool. The the trip they're doing right
2:10:30
now is going to be a trip of a lifetime for them.
2:10:31
So I hope they're really taking it all in and enjoying it.
2:10:34
This was their last stop. Basically, right.
2:10:37
Yeah. You know, I thought.
2:10:38
About that last night after we were done, I was like, I was
2:10:40
like, where are they going right now?
2:10:42
Like did we ask them what they were doing?
2:10:44
This this is basically the last. Stop.
2:10:46
But he kind of wants to do that thing with Tommy F Yeah, the
2:10:50
engine swap. Yeah, I.
2:10:52
Think he's just. Playing bite you.
2:10:54
I hope that happens. I mean, if Tommy doesn't need
2:10:56
that engine like that, that would be good, good content too.
2:11:00
