Close call with a $325,000 Mercedes S500 Coupe - Dash Cam
Please keep comments clean.
Hi all, this is not my usual content but I wanted to share what happened to me this morning on the 11th April 2024. It was a near miss with a 2016 Mercedes S500 Coupe with the VIC number plate VAU600 this morning. I am thankful of my speedy reaction and also glad I had the dash cam. This vehicle was $325,000 brand now and still worth around $100,000 today.
Just goes to show you can't assume everyone drives following road rules. I was fully expecting the Mercedes Benz S class to just come out and stick to the left but reviewing the footage again, there was another vehicle next to it.

Custom manual bracket for CVT chassis - Honda EK Civic
Переглядів 1858 місяців тому
As part of the project Honda Civic EK VTi sedan, I am manual swapping it! Today is the day I mock up the manual bracket for the CVT chassis. Some of the key highlights include me going through the mock up and design of the bracket. As you will see, I have used some cardboard to create the mock up ready for metal work afterwards. I plan to make the bracket out of 3mm steel plates matching OEM wi...

As part of the project Honda Civic EK VTi sedan, I am manual swapping it! Today is the day I swap over the brake pedal and install these “mugen” copy pedals. Some of the key highlights include me breaking the auto break pedal, realising the brake light switch location is different between auto and manual brake pedals, and just overall working in such a tight space under the dash. As you will se...

As part of the project Honda Civic EK VTi sedan, I am starting to manual swap it! Today I realise I prefer the use a reciprocating saw way more than a cutting disc. If you’re trying to perform this manual swap on either a D or B series Honda, you’ll find this little automatic shifter cable tunnel getting in the way and must be removed. Once that little tunnel was cut, it took quite a bit of eff...

As part of the project Honda Civic EK VTi sedan, I am starting to manual swap it! Today I burnt myself while soldering! Apart from that, I have removed the auto shifter, because of how it’s designed, it might be harder than you think to remove it. After that is removed, you also need to wire up the reversing light unless you’re looking at replacing the manual ecu and manual engine harness as we...

As part of the project Honda Civic EK VTi sedan, I am starting to manual swap it! Today is a big one as I replace the T-bracket, install the clutch slave cylinder, master cylinder, reservoir, and clutch pedal onto the auto/cvt EK Civic. It is pretty cool although this is an automatic chassis, Honda has made allowances on the vehicle to be a manual making it very easy to do so. I am also showing...

HereaaH! NeaaH! GeaaH! Made my day! 😂
Wow. Hope it's as easy as it looks 😂.
So easy!
does the bezel come with the radio when ordering from ebay?
Love the content!!!
Love it!
U are awesome
Stock height? If so drop a link
What did you do?
Love it!
2 DIN consoles are expensive nowadays!😅
Just did this on my Acura Integra. It is true. With everthing (harness, dash in car) this is not as easy to do. Also true, manual and auto throttle cable (connection at the pedal) are different. Helpful tips: disconnect the brake light switch (before you begin unbolting assembly). You do not need to undo the brake booster lines, come out to the engine bay and pull it way gently (careful to not bend the hardlines). Lastly, lock up your steering and drop the column. Its helpful if you have a second person to sustain the column a bit. Hope this helps someone. This is how I converted the entire assembly over to manual.
Thanks for the tips man!
Thank you exacly what i needed bro 🙏🏼
Do you also need a manual intake manifold and throttle body? Really good stuff mate!
hey man great video it helped me do mine this weekend im almost finished. Do i need to get a manual ECU or is the auto one fine to run? Are you driving with the auto and its fine?
where do you plug in the other hose? there’s 2 hoses & 1 electrical connector but only room for 1 of each on the new intake
block off the hose with the black cap. that's what I did
@@Elysium3301doesn’t that cause the car to run funny ?
no
Had the MERC collided with your car the first time it would have been entirely their fault ,with dash cam proof ,and consequently no second incident .
Yeah that's what I was thinking too but obviously want to avoid an accident.
@@forcarssake natural instinct
I didn't learn how to do this I'm sorry 😢
Which part did you struggle with?
The brake/gas pedal as one. I cannot wrap my mind around it. Said f it and cut the brake pedal. I don't get it
I struggled too to take it out as one, so I pulled the brake pedal out from the top.
It's really stupid, that the stupid Mercedes driver in this video is so stupid, that they did not realise their stupidity, such that they come back and cut you off as if you were the one at fault 😕
You can't help assholes to be themselves
This is very helpful. May i ask for the Size of stud replacement you used? Do u have the exact dimensions of the stud?
Yeah mate, it's M12 1.5 40mm long
Love your work T!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Great info.
have you figure it out? Because I'm 90% sure there's no other way without removing brake booster
I replaced the brake pedal in the end
Thank you op will be doing my orthia tomorrow same set up as ek
Hey bro I got a question did u use the auto ecu and auto harness? Cause you have check engine light?
I used the auto ecu and harness, the engine light was because the air intake wasn't installed, and the air flow sensor caused the error.
Yo bro saw you're from Melbourne? Was wondering how much you would charge to help swap my ek to manual! Love your videos btw. Good stuff
Thanks bro, I appreciate you reaching out but I'm not a pro and there will be liability issues if I start taking on jobs.
@@forcarssake that's fair enough, I'm doing a manual swap either way. Just was curious if it was possible to get a hand from someone who's done it before and even pay for the extra hand. Thanks anyway though Keep up the content!
Can this be done on an 04 civic with the same swap kit?
Hi mate, 04 is a completely different car so I wouldn't know... sorry
so auto ecu works fine?
Yep
do i need to change the driveshaft mate?
No mate
❤
Hey, I’m not sure what your budget is, but Innovative mounts makes a good auto to manual conversion mount kit for your setup. It’s a little pricey but I hope it helps.
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Yeah I found some but am keen to try diy a bracket
Music is too loud
Thanks for the feedback mate, I'll keep it in mind on the next one
What about EJ8 same shit right?
Should be the same mate
Nice job bro 🔥 👍 💪 💯
I have a question, man; I am planning on doing a b series and manual swap in my Ek at the same time. I was wondering about the mounts for the transmission. Would I still need to get the torque mount and top mount for a manual? I am assuming I need to get the top mount and torque mount from the b series transmission or do the d series manual mounts (top mount and Torque Mounts) fits the b series transmission.
B and d series have different mount all together. So you need all the brackets
did you mess the bearings up at all? I need to do the same job at the moment but unsure if I should knock out the hub like how you have shown here.
I've tested it afterwards and it felt fine. I did ensure the balls didn't fall out of the bearing though
did you not need to swap ecu from a manual car?
No mate, still running the auto ecu
@@forcarssakeso auto ecu works fine?
@JakeKwon_01 yes it's working just fine on my car
Awesome
Oi I got a question I watched this whole video to see how you handled that upper trans mount. Are you running without it? I have this project coming up for a friends 97 ek and it’s also an HX. So we got the frame Mount piece from the junkyard and then we will drill the frame and put in the nut inserts so it’s like the every other ek chasis. Hopefully 🤞
Yeah, that's one way to do it. I am still making the bracket right now.
@@forcarssake I just did it and that is the cleanest way and it preps you for other swaps like if you go B series 👍🏾
@@civicstar982 all the best with the swap!
You should use impact driver on screws
Awesome
Awesome
I just replaced my old cover with the new one. It lasted for 8 years. Good job overall.
Beautiful! Time for something else now?
Nice car clean engine
Thanks bro!

Check the bolts are tight, otherwise you need to replace the bushes
did you have too swap your ecu?
No I kept the auto ecu. In Australia we also have immobiliser so a change of ecu will be quite a lot more work
@@forcarssakeur location mate in australia
@JakeKwon_01 yeah mate, I'm in Australia Melbourne
Hi ! where did you find the correct bolt for the lca ? (1.25 thread)
I used the oem one in the end which is not ideal but just any local bolt shop and you'll find them. Make sure to ask for high tensile
I don't understand why you replaced just the brake pedal and not the entire brake/gas pedal assembly?
Because in order to do that I will need to undo the brake booster and I wanted to avoid that. On top of that the throttle cable is different between the auto and manual. So to do the job right you kind of need the manual throttle as well
