There were 8 ibis white GT coupes made for North America. Suzuka gray was the single most common color on the GT in the US, with 30 of the 90 being Suzuka. That was split between 13 in gloss and 17 in matte finish. Also, the GT wing is one of the easiest parts on the car to remove. Takes about 2 minutes on a fully assembled car. The rtronic transmission is great. Most people haven’t had an opportunity to drive one that’s properly setup. But since I specialize in manual transmission conversions, it makes no sense to claim I’m “in denial” as it benefits me nothing to share my opinion. Manual is excellent, but I’d take the rtronic over the stronic on this car any day.
@@jbphilly1234 the rtronic requires fairly regular kiss point resets. It functions best with this along with clean fluids. The shift forks can also wear out, so I would regularly check those at every service interval.
This is kind of really sad. One of the last genuine supercars lost to a part out. I would pay $40,000 right now for the whole thing and rebuild it. When a channel would rather make money than restore an amazing incredibly rare vehicle, not to mention this would sell for 120k-150k all day rebuilt. Sure, parts may be difficult to find, but it would be so worth it!
They’re in the business of parting out cars and making money - you sound dumb saying that “an amazing car” is lost when it’s frame is literally hanging off the front
The video quality has been evolving so much in such a short time It's so fun to see this different, more mature style of videos after watching you for over 5years. I can't wait for more to come out
This was my Brother in Laws car. He was behind me going to cars and coffee one cold morning. Cold hard tires and near freezing temps made the car skid across the road coming out of a circle and hitting a light pole. Both walked away. The passenger got a boo-boo on his leg from the windshield mirror. We did make it to C&C......
I know nothing about cars a lil still learning but wouldent it be wise to save all them parts ..just saying they can be reformed.😊r8 izs my dream car thanks for showing
Hey can you tell me what number your GT go-kart has? I'm creating a database with all 666 Gt models and a few are still missing. Thanks a lot! great video and many greetings
Not really an Audi fan but this is indicative of other unique cars. Cars that should be rebuilt but are parted out instead. I blame the manufacturers more tho. Either oem new is crazy expensive or unavailable. The secondary market will always take over.
bro did you see the amount of the damage to the car the value and the amount of time and work just wouldn’t be worth it considering how much more you can make from parting it out i hope you continue you learn more about the auto industry so you understand this type of thing
I don't believe the carbon ceramic brake rotors broke and the wheel did not. fuchs is pronounced "fooks" they make high quality oils and lubricants some the backwards USA does not have, just because yanky land has not heard of it does not mean it is crap quality or does not exist.
its thanks to guys like these overbidding the cool cars at auction being money hungry to profit that you cant win it yourself and rebuild it. On the other side of the fence, it's thanks to guys like these that you can find parts for cars to rebuild.
Why woodn't u fix the GT..?? seems like a no brainer?? And that GT hood coulda buffed out straight.. All of that frame damage coulda been fixed.. u get R8's alot.. get a rear impact one.. cut off the front... done..

14:37 my man probably just broke that TPMS sensor lmao. First rule of dismounting a tire, break the bead at 90 degrees away from the sensor
Great to see you go back to show the cars you buy and disassemble.
Love these videos- keep up the great work - great channel

@@scraplifedalt sounds like u only buy broken cars
@@trinittpretty much. The name of the channel is scrap life garage. I don’t think it takes a smart person to figure out the theme here…😁

Why wouldn't you fix that beautiful R8 GT?
It’s worth more in parts
They already got a supercharged one
Still surprises me they dont keep the glass, on some of these exotics you would think there is some value there

I’m confused why would you fix the regular Audi and not the gt that Audi only made 333 of them 😅…… would of been awesome content
the value of the car vs it being parted out
@@taylorebenguard6998content 😢
More on the Demon PLEASE!!
Great video! Really enjoyed the lack of Porsches in it!
You should link up up travaris he's got a dead R8 he's fixing up
Can't believe u guys salvaged my favorite car twice, can't believe how much ur channel has grown,great video
thank guys always enjoyable ,and entertaining ,like how you show the whole gig

Ahg I was watching the supercharged R8. Was wondering who won it! Glad to see it’s in great hands. Great vid.
The salvage stuff doesn't do it for me. I like the rebuilds.
Great vid guys! The r8 is sick, now where is the Demon content 🤣
I think the rear cradle is different in the gt aswell.
I love the you show. Thanks
Just wondering: US GT have thin glas on the rear hatch? Is that correct ?
The end of ze world clip had me dying bro 😂😂😂😂😂
ScrapLife Garage keeps me entertained regardless. 🤷♂️
the r8 is sick 💪🏼
Informative as usual. Thanks guys enjoyed the video.
Hey can you tell me what number your GT go-kart has? I'm creating a database with all 666 Gt models and a few are still missing. Thanks a lot! great video and many greetings
Lee is right just buy another Porsche! 👍🏻
Always interesting to see what these can potentially get. Is it possible to do an update on precious tear-downs? Thanks Guys!
enjoyed till the end.
Congratulations on your new adventure!
Thank you guys for sharing another awesome video
HEYYY, could i have that damaged brake caliper if its not being sold? I'll pay shipping.
Shopping carts when the lady files for divorce😂😂😂

Amazing car ❤
1/333 😢
Do you list electronic modules, dash pieces, gauges, etc.. from these part outs or is it considered a waste of resources?
We do where the value makes sense. On these r8 specifically a lot of those modules fall into the dead inventory category and rarely sell.
I purchased a module from this car
Great work guys love the channel
Surprised your parting the gt out. Doesn’t make much sense to me….
bro did you see the amount of the damage to the car the value and the amount of time and work just wouldn’t be worth it considering how much more you can make from parting it out i hope you continue you learn more about the auto industry so you understand this type of thing
Audi is king
Just like the one tavarish purchased to fix the R8 he purchased from howie..
that car is a 14-15 facelifted version.
Zen fire Zee Missiles!
Finally someone knew what that was from lol
Great video guys
Where that demon at
Great video!
you know, @tavarish is building an r8. just sayiiing
I don't believe the carbon ceramic brake rotors broke and the wheel did not.
fuchs is pronounced "fooks" they make high quality oils and lubricants some the backwards USA does not have, just because yanky land has not heard of it does not mean it is crap quality or does not exist.
When’s the next dodge demon video coming out?
Oh man. What number GT was that? #278?
I'm le tired, well take a nap. Then fire ze missiles!
Not many people know that Dalts full name is Dalton A. Normus, for the the longest time I thought it was Dalton E. Normus but i was wrong…
Somebody loves VW lol
Why don't you charge shipping fees?
Wait so why not fix the super rare one and scar the base?
You can buy a used Audi R8 for cheaper than the price of all these parts
Where’s the Demon
thot they was going fix it :(
Guys just excellent content alwways
its thanks to guys like these overbidding the cool cars at auction being money hungry to profit that you cant win it yourself and rebuild it. On the other side of the fence, it's thanks to guys like these that you can find parts for cars to rebuild.
Ur welcome 😁
@@jbphilly1234 sell the car as a whole and see what profit there is, more valuable as a part out which is why theyre bidding it so high
Don’t get it, if this car is so rare why you not fixing it that would be a better video.
its really not worth it just a waste of time
Titanium does not conduct electricity
Why woodn't u fix the GT..?? seems like a no brainer?? And that GT hood coulda buffed out straight.. All of that frame damage coulda been fixed.. u get R8's alot.. get a rear impact one.. cut off the front... done..
why would you dismantle a much more rarer car?
lets hit that algorithm
Whyyyyy do you guys still use eBay?
Sad the GT couldn’t be saved
Oh yeah, The battery was one day old before the accident.
I love this. #GiveawayThisCarToMe
Un peccato demolirla
Questa macchina poteva essere riparata
Hey why are you guys safe this one
Mandei o país importa 5 desse para o PK$
