Discover the Key Features that Set the Topdon TopScan Diagnostic Scanner Apart
What an excellent vid! Just straight to the point with everything! We released a portable air pump. Can we invite you to do a review? How can we contact you guys?
What year 2.5 engine did you use?
It hurts my eyes.... Using impact gun for tightening crank pulley that is hold in place only by positioning bolt .... best way how to destroy your timing cover. That M6 bolt screwd into aluminium cover is not suposed to hold that in place but only set position. You have to hold it against tightening force by tool. Also use new crank bolt everytime its TTY bolt non reusable.
While I appreciate the shout out in the video description I must criticize your technique for assembling the motor. People have had motors fail for being assembled more meticulously than you have here. Both crank diamond washers should be replaced, the crank pulley should always be countered when torqueing, and you never touch the diamond washers on the faces! Please go review my instructions and videos more in depth to help improve your future methodology.
Yo quiero así tuniar mi Mazda 87 con sonido
Nice
Here's maybe 10% of a new tire. Out of curiosity, do the track temps cool down much after the sun goes down?
Rather than playing with the spacing of the paddles, you could space the whole wheel forward, and you may even regain horn button fixture.
No the paddles adapter made it so the horn button holder could not be put in. Also there isn’t a way to move the steering wheel closer to the paddles.
Driving around Tucson late at night I highly recommend a roll cage 😎
towards swamp cooler operation...
What Makita polisher were you using?
A wild Sarah appears at 9:55
Thanks for the update! Always appreciate the level of effort and attention you all give to your projects!
10:00.......trust me I'm paying attention........but I do like the Sarah Greenwood cameo's.
That’s a sick red civic at 12:40
These openers are fire! Lancer X though?!?!
bolt holes
👍👍
Good video
Look, you can do constant full repairs on ancient vehicles OR try a short term solution to give you some room to save and shop for a new vehicle. Constant expenses that may not be worth it or a cheap fix-for-now, your choice.
In math terms *3.1415 and /2 to get circumference and half
Does this apply to unpainted aftermarket plastic spoiler wings?
Yes, I would treat those the same as a bumper cover.
You nailed it in your introduction, I had just sprayed my Z28 in my garage, and I had the problems you were about to help me correct 😢, but then you start bringing introducing all kinds of high tech chemicals and power tools, DUDE !! I’m in my garage not able to afford all that I’m going to have to purchase to get the results u got, that’s why I painted the car myself to save SOME MONEY!!!!
Вряд ли это будет эффективно работать.
Just curious, i bought an 87 190D and I want to paint the plastic bumpers. They've got some scuffs. How would you recommend i fill the scuffs before i paint it?
👍👍👍
That’s not service position. Service position slides the front end forward close to 6 inches so you don’t have to drain a/c or coolant. Also this is the prince engine series, co developed with Renault, the early engines were trash in the R56 chassis
How did u plum the ac lines
I exclusively use royal purple in my tracked 2.5 swap. Not listening to the haters, its never failed me once.
Its as if you've been watching me mess up my morris minor 🤔
Looks perfect- ready for the road and the road damage from rocks and sand
It’s why I’m scared to death to paint the 1968 Galaxie fastback survivor I found recently. I don’t want to spend 5k on a paint job because the car will be worth 20-25k when I’m done with it. 10500 for the car, another 2-4K in parts, plus repairing a few small dents and a paint job. I’m thinking of trying acrylic enamel garage paint job, and then wet sanding and polishing it instead of going with urethane where there’s not as much room for fixing my screwups
That was great! Smilin' all the way through...
Brandon, outstanding interviewing skills. U-Wrench Sports?
A regular Chris Economaki. Nicely done
Thank you!

Or you let Gerber Collison fix your vehicle. :(
What happened with this car?
The owner decided (mid-build) to sell the car, parts and all.
Anyone have any idea what the offset is on those rims?
Y’all assemble head on engine block not show, basically, piston 1 & piston 4 up TDC. Balance shaft delete! Do you have to plug oil line?
Y’all didn’t assemble engine block, piston, connecting rod, no piston ring gapping, main, and looks like machine shop did all the work.
You are correct. The owner brought the block to us already assembled by Map Performance. We're assembling the rest.
Darton Sleeve
You can fix the hinge crack problem by melting some aluminum window screen mesh across the crack using a soldering gun or plastic welding kit (do not use melt in wires, which are not as strong a mesh).
Too complicated! I'm just going to put my new cover on, and then put a bra over it.
Good vid !
Thought I was gonna watch a 5 minute apple commercial outta yo mind
Hi I have a Caravan and I want the rear vent window to open and close without reaching the front switch. Is this the same concept?
You nailed it. Not a wasted second of unecessary information. This should be the prototype of all UA-cam videos on DIY
Great job with the filming!
Why would you want to paint the rotors on a Cybertruck 😂 The truck itself already stand outs, you can’t even see the rotors with the wheel covers on. You could be like JerryRigEverything and plate the entire truck in real gold which actually looks pretty good 🥇
