Making a custom seat for my KZ650 brat/cafe racer.
I've owned this 1978 Kawasaki KZ650 SR for a while and I've been wanting to change the seat pretty much since I made the original "temporary" one many years ago. This is how I did it.

Bullitt Build Gets Coilovers and Diff Expansion Tank w/ Quick First Drive
Переглядів 1053 роки тому
I won't lie, this one is a bit unexciting but necessary. Also, the audio sucks - I really need a microphone if I'm going to talk this much. Just a quick video of a couple more track-focused modifications on the Mustang Bullitt track build. This thing will be hitting the track pretty soon, along with my 350Z to see who/what is faster on stock power with fairly minor mods. Music released by Carbo...
Custom Paint Job on my Savage 12FV .308 - Long Range Budget Build
Переглядів 4133 роки тому
Just a quick paint job on the factory stock of my Savage Arms 12FV .308 rifle. I bought this gun for a great price and decided to start a budget long range build from it. The stock is going to eventually be replaced, along with the optic and some other bits, but for now I wanted to at least make it a bit more interesting.

How to Install Eibach Sway Bars - Mustang Bullitt Track Build
Переглядів 1893 роки тому
The recently repaired S197 Mustang Bullitt is finally starting to get performance modifications. We decided to start with handling, since this seems to be the Mustang's largest downfall. The install was fairly straightforward, completed in just a couple hours. The difference is noticeable on the street, but I'm holding my final judgements until we get some coilovers on the car and take it to th...
Another Wrecked Car Rebuild - Bullitt Track Prep

OMG IT'S A 20 MINUTE VIDEO. Yeah, I get it. It's a long one. I didn't record most of the work on this car, because I didn't think it would be entertaining.

Basically, we're rebuilding a 2009 Mustang Bullitt to get it track-worthy. It's going to be a short series of v...
350Z Roller Paint Job - $100 Rustoleum Special
Переглядів 4,5 тис.4 роки тому
I started this video with intentions of it being a "how-to." That plan changed when I started running into issues and out of time. I needed my car to be one consistent color rather than the 5 shades of black and silver that it's been for a while, so I got a couple cans of Rustoleum and went to work with a foam roller. After having issues with the first color (and deciding it was kind of boring)...

350Z w/ 3.69 Diff Swap (Before and After Tests)
Переглядів 6 тис.4 роки тому
I'm taking advantage of the unexpected time off by knocking out some projects that have just been taking up space in my garage. I pulled the 3.69:1 differential from a 2007 G35, which is a massive improvement from the 3.35:1 rear end that came in my 350Z originally. I also have a fresh, straight subframe from an un-wrecked 350Z, so I figured I'd knock them both out at the same time. Once instal...
Denver Quarantine - Urban MTB in an Empty City

    Hello, kinda late to this but really hope I can get a response, I’ve got a wire hooked up to wire 53, and running that into the cabin, the clutch depress sensor has the two wires ones green and the other grey and red, the grey and red wire is the same color as 53, I have the red and grey wire hooked up to the fuse “put it into the o2 sensor fuse”and the green wire hooked up to 53 coming into the cabin. When I go to start the car it won’t start and has the park up shift light on, my reverse lights are also on, any clue on what I’ve got wrong ?

    Hi there man again :D ! I have this one issue after making it MT from AT ! engine cranks perfectly, everything works perfectly, but sometimes/most of the times the car just wont start, it cranks, but engine doesnt start up, IF it does it does from one and half of a crank, and when it was AT there was no issue with starting, so as i read something about crank or cam sensors ,i doubt that thats the case. Like for example, it can start from first turn of the key ,and it can start only on 15th turn of the key sometimes, the key turn amount might variate, but most of the times ,it takes some time to turn key on and of when it goes further than just cranking.
