offroad Camaro RallyCross prep (part 1 of 2, because oops!)
Why the face? An oil change is supposed to be easy, but that's not always the case 😅 Here's part 1 of getting my Camaro ready for rallycross competitions! Trying to make a vlog of this didn't go exactly as planned, so check out part 2 soon for the rest of the routine! This actually captured a big part of the DIY automotive experience, if by accident hahaha. Let me know what you think of the video!

Will I be able to driver-mod my way out of this?! My 2019 Camaro Turbo 1LE has some severe challenges in its lack of a factory handbrake, gnarly turbo lag, and ginormous size (even though it's pretty light!) I talk through these challenges and my upgrade & training plans to work around them. Follow along here on UA-cam and on my Instagram page (also @GibbsEmphasis there) for more about this off...

Very great job man! I hope that you will fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork for next videos please? :)
Thank you!! I've actually got a pedal camera set up for my sim driving vlogs -- still working on the one in the car. I'll see if I can get it in the Camaro before the next rallycross competition!
@@GibbsEmphasis Great, thanks! It would be so great to have a pedalcam on your Camaro!
Is there any way to avoid understeer while happenning?
There are many methods, just gotta use them accordingly to your drivetrain
Definitely depends on the car & surface you're driving on! I'll make a video about how I do it in the Camaro. DirtFish and Team O'Neill are channels that might have good lessons on how to decrease understeer too!
Yeah it really can vary widely based on what you drive!
"It's right behind me, isn't it?" LOL
things can sneak up on you like that!!
You handle things yourself man! respect! fails are part of it! you grow with them!👍
Thank you! It's definitely worth learning things hands-on. Lots of growth for part 2 later this week 😂
Yeah i hate that el. handbrake too in my camaro! With my Challenger I have to operate the parking brake with my left foot, maybe I should try drifting with that! : )
@@RallyChally ooh definitely check the owner's manual for the Challenger just in case 😅 not sure how those foot ones work mechanically!
thanks
It may be competition for the crosstalk , but the Turbo Outback add more power and luxury the onyx is a great comparison toy th cc50 turbo close in size& price . Most reviews have them tied, but Outback is roomier. And has a bigger display that’s a real touchscreen vs the knob controlled frustration on Mazda the cvt is actually better than the6 speed as far as smoother ride and Subaru is the king of off roading with the best AWD in the bizz the Outback shorter with a longer wheelbase so it rides smoother with much more cargo space .
My caaamerooo,,,duuuudeee,,your voice is annoying
A quick FYI . The front vents are indeed functional. Only the rear ones aren’t .
You dont need to take out a fuse for this. Just pop the lights on and switch them almost off just one click before the last one
Bragging about fucking up your car doing dumb shit is inbred level of stupidity
Thanks so much
Good job..keep it up👍
I'm new at recording these simulator videos and would love to get your feedback on how to make them better! Will be posting a new driver training vlog every Tuesday now 🥳 check out the full session on my channel @GibbsEmphasis
These types of videos are both entertaining for you AND your audience - win-win 😆Love it! I'd love to see some vids of you giving yourself sim challenges, like running the same course 5x in a row to see if you can improve your time by X amount! Awesome video perspectives too!
Thank you!! Yeah I definitely enjoyed making this one 😂😂 I like that challenge idea! I'll try something like that next week for sure.
Thats great!😎 How good are you at left-foot-breaking? Does that work in the camaro? I never tried it!😄
It's a lot of fun in the sim! Really helps with front end grip and getting a little oversteer. I'm hoping to test it in the Camaro on dirt soon now that I feel more confident with it 🤠
Nope.
I was expecting it to either be the little tray that some glove boxes as as when open, or a passenger
Passengers do get promoted to cupholder duty when riding along 😂
my Porsche has the same cup holder design
As a man who owns a 91 fairlady z and 87 RX-7, you get my like sir, Cup Holders would just add weight! ✊🏽
I was going to say. Your 91 came with cup holders ?!
Actually stfu with that fake voice 🤮
Japanese actually used to have a theory about not having cup holders in their cars play believe that you should be enjoying the drive not being distracted eating your car was frowned upon in Japan for a very long time
I like this idea! It's especially easy to focus 100% on the drive with the MR2 being so fun 🤠
What k&n filter did you use?
Just the one they list for the Honda Fit! Not sure of the part number; looked it up by the model year online.
the NA Miata's Cupholders are right behind the stick shift. 😐 (look it up if interested) But, when you're driving with a cup it's incredibly awkward to shift.
Oh wow, my Camaro is like that too! It's a challenge for sure 😵💫
😂😂😂😂
I have a heavily modified 1996 f150 and my cup holder is a neck pillow
That sounds either really stable, or really NOT stable hahaha. Does it work pretty well?
@GibbsEmphasis considering it sits between my sub (console area) and the back of the cab it holds pretty well
😂 my 93 z28 had a cupholder, but it was useless as it was right behind the stick shift and made you spill everywhere
My 2019 Camaro has the cup holders behind the shifter too! Must be tradition to battle drinks with the right elbow 🤣
@@GibbsEmphasis prevent drinking and driving or something lmao
Love this kind of adventures!!
Thank you!! I've got plans for more of these soon.
Love it! 😎
bruh
Okay, then. Only took this 68-year-old woman about 3 minutes to change my air filter! Check that off my list. :)
I love the ending 🤣 Curious as to how you can mitigate the e-brake being electronic... Looking forward to seeing future progress videos on these topics!!
Hehe the vocal warmups I do for these 😅 I think the clutch kick will be my best friend in initiating slides for now, but it'd be cool to figure out a "drift brake" like the new Mustangs have!
Rallying a Camaro. That's just different. Keep going.
Thank you! You can bet I will 😁
Thank you!
Great video!
You are awesome thanks! This Biden economy is making me broke. I'm a 52 year old woman who's trying to pinch all my pennies. I got the filter on Amazon for $7 😁
'promosm'
This is actually an easy trail as long as it isn’t muddy. I’ve done a Mercedes Benz 300SD and a Prius. Just don’t haul ass down the hill because bad things happen easily.
I can imagine mud would make it gnarly! Do you have any other favorite trails to drive around SoCal?
I followed an m3 e90 one time; took a wrong turn during a cruise. I was driving an Audi allroad, but he didn’t want to let me pass by. Then eventually he gave up and I told him he needed to make a u turn before he got to the rutted part (spring)
🤠 see my full rally/offroad setup on my channel!!
Siiick! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Duuude thank you!! Stoked for more event 🔥
What wheel are this?
These are 18" Black Rhino Boxers! I'll be posting a video soon on the wheel & tire combo I use for trails and rallycross 😁
@@GibbsEmphasis thanks
I love you lisence plate!!!😂
Thank you!! It's a question I ask myself every day hahaha
Nice! Thank you
Moist critical voice 💀💀😭😭
