PROJECT 4X4ESTER EP1 - Too many repairs? (Budget Subaru Build)
I've gotten my old Foz back, but it's not exactly how I remember it. After being battered around for a couple of years with almost no maintenance, the repair bill has it destined for the scrapyard with a conservative estimate of nearly $6000.
$6000 is the mechanic's price anyway, and I know I can get it done for a lot cheaper myself if I set aside some time for it. But that's just to get it driveable again - what I actually want is a tough, trail-ready daily that looks and sounds the part too. So here's the challenge: Get the Foz fixed up, tidied up and modified for off-roading - and do it all for less than the repair estimate.

Trying Alcant-ERA - is it as bad as they say?
Переглядів 2,7 тис.Місяць тому
Alcant-ERA popped up on my radar a few months ago with their adhesive suede interior wrap through some viral Instagram posts. But what a lot of us viewers noticed was the rushed nature of their demonstration videos which seemed to undersell the wrap itself. Despite this, I was super interested in the idea of a self-adhesive suede wrap and wanted to try it for myself, in the hope that the produc...
BI-XENON PROJECTOR Headlight Upgrade - E39 BMW 5 Series (Retrofit Lab Kit)
Переглядів 6 тис.5 місяців тому
This is a DIY guide to installing Retrofit Lab's Bi-Xenon kit for the E39 BMW 5 Series (facelift). The projector lenses in these old BMWs commonly develop internal fog which greatly reduces their light output. This video applies to OEM Hella halogen headlights for facelift E39 models between 2000 and 2002. Factory xenon headlights have a different installation process - this video is for haloge...
$80 LED taillights BUILT FROM SCRATCH (E39 BMW 5 Series)
Переглядів 3 тис.Рік тому
In this video I take an L and spend 80 hours (and $80) building LED taillights for my 5 Series that ended up with a few annoying problems that render them pretty much useless. But despite this, I still vouch for this as a project and I reckon on the right car it could be really successful. You could also build these with a diffuser lens over the bulbs for a more even light output, but I wanted ...

Building a DIY DETAILING STORAGE SETUP
Переглядів 443Рік тому
The storage method for my work van was in desperate need of a refresh, so I started from scratch by building this easily removable storage caddy. It fits everything I need on a daily basis, while also organising and securing everything so it doesn't slide around when driving. There's still a few finishing touches to be made in the near future, but it's a massive improvement nonetheless.
Don't try to fix an LCD screen like this (piezo ignitor test)
Переглядів 4,5 тис.Рік тому
After seeing a very sus repair video do the rounds online, I had to try this one for myself. Like a lot of BMWs from the era, my E39 has lost most of the pixels on the dashboard LCD over time, and I've made repairing it one of the last things on my list for the car due to the expense and effort required. But for $13, I thought this was worth a shot in the meantime. Of course, attempt this at yo...

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to film working on this tidy Commodore SS Sportwagon. These cars have held their value ridiculously well since Holden stopped making them in 2017, with V8 'SS' models still listing for close to their original purchase price 5 years later. It was great to take care of this one in preparation for a new owner. The SS Sportwagon has cemented a place on my bucket l...

How not to paint your wheels white for $10
nice job bro!
Sorry Sreten cracked me up 🤣. Either way, that was a great learning experience and thanks for sharing it with us!
How do you clean off the tire shine if you want to reapply?
Any wheel degreaser will do the job - it’s not great for your paint but if you’re doing what I did here then that’s irrelevant 🤪
@@OEMStez how would you clean it off if you want to reapply?
Is the reflector the same between xenon and halogen ?
Different kit for cars with factory Xenon, I think it’s about €20 difference from memory
Awesome job bro! About to tackle this myself. Thanks for the informative video :)
It’s been a month how is it so far
So far so good 🤙
If i buy sum would u sell them ?
If I sold some would you buy them? 👀
Hi Stez, GREAT video. Any chance you could make a set of 4 of these for my 2018 Tesla Model 3. I know it would cost more than $25.00.
Please update soon than six months if it starts to fail before that
Hey could you make me some if I get you measurements
Yeah sure - just submit an enquiry via my contact form and we’ll get started www.diverge3d.com.au/design-services/
Could you make me some for my truck?
Sure mate - just drop me a line via my contact form www.diverge3d.com.au/design-services/
Great video. Just our wrap in yesterday. And yeah the fabric does have odor when opening the package. What as weird ours got delivered by Amazon.. We got their black Alcantara to go with the ebony black interior on our tahoe (suv) in Arizona. But our upper panels came in the ugly tan I hate I painted my front A pillars in duplicolor fabric paint and it came out great. The Alcantara is going on the other upper panels in the back to give it a more darker interior.
Hope it goes well for you 🤞
Keen as for part 2!!. Also nice mcm shirt 🤙🤙
You did great.
whats name that machine?
The 3D printer is a Bambu Lab X1-C if that’s what you mean
they scammed me i orded it and they never send to me
We gotta do something about that 😤
Great sounding V6, well done.
inb4 this channel blows up great stuff man
Certified OG right here 😤
So so beast
Keen for part 2 let’s go!
Stuff could definitely be utilized for sure. I think it could be cool to add a texture beneath it like diamonds or something in some places. Maybe multi color too if done tastefully. Need to come up with something for the seams that can’t be tucked away though. Good job on your project dude!
I hung up my climate control module with piezo from lighters. Don't try!!!! I was lucky to reset it with just pulling out fuses Nr.9 and Nr.20. Everything is ok now.😅
Did you use a high-temperature paint and if not did you have any issue with it bubbling from the heat etc?
I used a paint called Dulux Hammered Finish, it doesn’t have any detail about temperature range but a couple months before painting the headlight shroud I used it on my brake calipers and have had no issues with it so I figured it would be fine. No bubbling problems with either 👍
Why do you call it a wind screen? It's not a screen. Screens filter. It's a shield because it's solid glass that shields the wind
Just the common term in Australia / UK. To be technical it does actually filter out heat with low effectiveness, sound with strong effectiveness, UV with about 99% effectiveness, and obviously 100% of wind
Its called a wind screen as far as I am aware :)
I like it. Good job!🔥
really cool man! nicely done!
I always wondered if this stuff was any good.
Would love to see a comparison between a few other companies Alcantara products (many on Ali express) and maybe do a black headliner
looks really sick. u did a great job bro
Great job, well done. 👍Looking forward to seeing how it holds up over time.
Umm...No thanks. I will keep my OEM floating caps.
This video is very obviously for people who don’t already have an OEM set 👍 appreciate your input bud
We need to know all the products you used please and thank you
Well done man can you make such for SUZUKI cars.
I tried your method on my stock radio (BMW 2003 X5) and it worked. All the pixels turned on. I should’ve listened to you because I tried your method on my cluster and now it’s worse and on top of that I have the brake, ABS and traction light on. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of those three lights. I’ll try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting to the issue. There’s a guy on eBay that’ll eplace the LCD for 100 bucks. I might just end up doing that. My X5 is a solid car with 98,000 on it. Any additional recommendations would greatly be appreciated thank you and thanks for posting that video.
I’d go for the replacement service, I’m hoping it fixes your warning lights too - that’s weird they came on
Excellent.
Do you have cad files these?? I’d like to print them at my store
Nice! Thanks for sharing the project! Any chance you have the bearing part numbers?
I need some how much?
Available at link in description 👍
That's dope bro damm
Great idea Im definitely trying it
I think you did too much? looks like it got fixed on first two tries you done. >.<
🤣
I`m the guy from the Delica and cant believe I found you here! so nice! Keep it up mate!!
Legend! 🙏
Nice job

Hi Stez can you help me calculate my J pipe length I’m in Sydney and my mustang is droning badly with an aftermarket axle back I’ve installed. I’ve ordered some pipes from Josh at CSE Exhaust. The info I can give you is my car drones the worst at 2000rpm it’s literally unbearable any idea how long to make my J pipe? Loved your video by the way 👍
