"You're becoming a great mechanic by owning a time bomb"
Facts 😂
that's how I learned how to work on cars lmao bought a completely neglected Volvo S60R from a kid I worked with and did the best I could. I learned more keeping that car on the road for a year than I did working at dealerships for 3.
It is what the Top Gear trio said for years about owning an Alfa Romeo. Owning a beautiful car that you have to fix every 100miles makes one a real car man.
@@rustybungle Old joke:
"How do we know you're a good mechanic?"
"I drive a Fiat."
@@drippingwax 😂😂
this logic unfortunately does not apply to ricers. period.
"What are they rated for?
"Not what I'm pushing."
Spoken like a true bolt-on prince.
The fact that that guy was even surprised is hilarious. You just know he beat the living hell out of that poor little 5 speed for way too long.
They are glass after 400 from every I've seen and heard.
Basically the difference between parts of a couple $100 vs a few $1000. You wanna run 600+hp in your stock parts? Well, Physics would like to ask how deep your wallet is
@@hunterlang578 I sure did lmao
@@hunterlang578 rebuilt that thang with billet gears
I like that they don't rip on the people in these clips, even admit they've done it before.
Yeah the laugh followed by the confession, I like this guy.
Steph does even react half the time. his face is just like "yuuuuuppp I remember that old chestnut. Happened to me......."
It's simple
Car doesn't explode: HELL YEAH!
Car explodes: THAT WAS AWESOME!
we're all just goblins
I bet you like 3rd place trophies too
Im guessing that the cop at 12:45 ABSOLUTELY knew what had been modified. Thats why he's going "its not over the top", "Oh its stock? Ok i believe you!". He probably knew the camera was on and went "Nah man this is a nice ride. Let's get him out of this. As long as he doesnt incriminate himself i'll play along"
I was trying to be honest and eat the ticket in Indiana the cop walked around checked out my truck asked what I had done and said slow it Down and add a mufler and left he knew exactly every thing I had done
@@josephpeluchette191Indiana is a chill state, for the most part if you ain't doing stupid shit the cops don't give a fuck about car/truck mods. Just don't add those stupid colored lights in the headlights (the red/blue/green ring lights) you are asking to be hit with a police/emergency vehicle impersonation charge.
I have a hard time believing that he has an R8
he probably just pulled the guy over to check out the car lol
Also I think having a "professional" looking engine bay finish by keeping it clean and neat helps out a lot. If it's full of cable ties and leaking fluid stains and dodgy joints the cop has more responsibility to do something about it.
"It appears they were trying to drift a civic"
"That's usually a mustang driver" 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, the natural habitat of the Ford Mustang IS upside down in a ditch, so...
@@Rekuzan Natural habitat of a Mustang is in front of you.
I'm pretty sure Nolan drives a mustang, so that might have been a dig at him lol
@@fordgtguyYeah, for about 1.7 seconds before rolling into a ditch! 🤣🤣🤣
All these haters that can't afford a 30k car off the lot
I'm still here, but there's an extreme lack of Sandro and Angela. I'll watch, but I'm gonna complain the whole time
The real champs of this channel!
I'm having a hard time over here
Was going to say the exact same thing.
Was thinking the same thing
Relax guys
Nolan saying "yeah yeah" while he talks about headgasket like its some complicated process of how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop
That's American health. Oof.
Nolan: pretends to listen about head gaskets while thinking about those crispy fajitas he ordered for lunch
i found it useful, didnt know that stuff
@@LOLHICRONO oh no no, it was. And well explained too. Just felt like I would be going “yeah, yeah, yeah” as well if my mind was wandering :)
Straight up it looked like a highschool kids just auto pilot nodding along.
Half the time he says "yah, ok, sure, yah, yeaaah"
He cuts the tuner off slightly.
Like cmmmon bruh
I would to see Angelina and Steph nerd it out. I learned so much from both of them
@MiegmaishMenas
@@stephanieformanek939always funny how Sandro is just going with his “for the boys” jokes and Angelina is making a joke and suddenly it’s an automotive class with serious explanations 😂 but they’re all super smart love listening to them all.
I really appreciate Steph style of communicating. I also enjoy Sandro and Angelina style, would be cool to have those 3 together in a vid doing a bit of back and forth.
"El MOTOR!" Whats that mean? Lol the motor... Oh.
😂😂😂
That part was hilarious 😂
El niño, which is Spanish for “The niño!”
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Le grille? What the hell is that!?
Late combustion timing for flamethrowers. For when you want burnt valves.
Hey, who needs horsepower or MPGs when you could look "cool"
the "tuner" equivalent of rolling coal.
Gen Z loves that stuff!
@@donotatme I think boomers and GenXers started it though
Subarus are time bombs and their drivers become great mechanics thank you simultaneously making me feel proud of owning my Subaru and upset at owning my Subaru
I love how nolan gets uncomfortable when dude keeps looking at him
when you’re trained to be on tv Vs a UA-camr lol
lowkey annoyed me
Our boy looked a bit unsettled, maybe he's in Mrs Nolan's doghouse.
Thats a social ineptitude. Nolan lacks communication skills, and doesnt understand that making eye contact doesnt make you gay..
well i would too
nothing personal, eye contact just makes me uncomfortable
im guessing its the same deal with him
9:29 I think the third guy did a decent job. He saw that he was going to hit the second car, cranked the wheel, and impacted with his side into his buddy's car rather than driving the nose into the door. More surface area of the cars hitting each other means less potential for a hard in in the door. I say, good save, dude.
Why does the "NoT wHaT iM pUsHiNg" guy look like a young ricky with that shirt
2 turnips in heat
get two birds stoned at one time
Steph’s knowledge and his ability to present information is amazing. So enjoyable to watch him and listen to him explain everything.
Given how his driver perform in Formula D, I guess he has to know a thing or two about making cars go fast and sideways..
@@tigerman1978 I only make vehicles go sideways on accident.
That is always a bad day.
As an owner of a 94 Miata, PLEASE do a whole Miata fails video
Yes, Miata fails pls 😅
This guy seems super nice and was a great guest expert.
@16:00 That was @drew peacock's supra that caught fire so sad was a beautiful car 😢
That is terrible. Part of me feels like it's karma for hating on everyone all the time 😂
@@Ianthe1did he not like your build bro?
Came here for this lol
Ive had a rear wheel fall of my old ranger at 70kph (and yes it was torqued properly), have to admit, wasn't fun. Ruined my rim because the drum landed on the rim, and the rim still somehow spun and stayed with the truck. I was 2km from home, so I stole one lugnut from the other 3 wheels, and limped it home, then replaced the rim. Only damage that was done was the rim was destroyed, and the only "warning" i had was about a minute before, i went around a soft corner, and thought to myself, well that felt a bit strange. A minute later, bang, wheel was no longer attached. Bright side someone behind me saw the centre cover fly off into the ditch, stopped and picked it up, and brought it back to me. Thought that was nice of them. Haha
so somebody is going to ask so i might as well do it. did you retorque it after 100km / the next day after it was initially put on?
@@Ederick1936 it was done at 80km as per recommendation, and on there for about 8 months before it happened
I didn't know rangers could go kph🇺🇲
@arcticcockatiel3783 the northern ones can. They do show freedom units as well on the speedometer.
@@ryanwilson_canada In high school, I mentioned kilometers to a friend who was driving. I was trying to convert into miles in my head and he just looked at his speedometer.
Nolan wearing a shirt of my favorite beverage 🤝 respect
The man, the myth, the legend!
How on earth did you all get him for multiple vids? Can't imagine he has all the free time.
100% not a complaint 🤘
Heard papadakis talking about fretting and 😮. This dude is so knowledgeable. I would not expect a mechanic to know that much about tribology.
I stopped the video at 12:09..... I do not want to have-to HAVE that memory erased from my mind.
😭
Yes on the Miata fails! I need to see what to avoid! I also sent you guys a clip a while back of my lowered Miata stuck in the snow.
I just gotta say, Jeremiah's dog is ADORABLE. Good ad.
That bit about looking at his dog’s poop was 100% him slipping a reddit argument into the script.
And I am 100% here for it.
It's always crucial to learn from these mistakes, especially when dealing with modified cars. Steph's insights are super valuable, especially regarding the mechanics behind the failures.
The 350z could be one of those videos where they spray water into the exhaust and then rev it up. Not sure why but it was a popular fad for a while .
Thats what I was thinking. It looks perfectly clear with no oil or actual antifreeze. Plus I am pretty sure that the head gasket would result in a bent rod. Water doesn't compress and the exhaust valve is only open for a short time.
EDIT: OK, his explanation makes sense, it just isn't something I've ever seen before.
Steph Papadakis led part of a drag racing class I took part in probably 20 years ago. What a blast from the past, love it.
15:20 Revving engine, timing belt hops a tooth or two on the cam, interference engine does its thing from there...
Stephs level of knowledge and understanding is amazing
Was nice hearing the *real* reasoning behind why people want to use the engines. It'd be like if Dell created a great component in a prebuilt cpu, but everything else was as horrendous and scraped together as you'd expect while being designed to fail within 5 years. Makes sense now.
If you're driving a right hand drive car in a country that has left hand drive then you can get a periscope mirror that goes inside at the bottom of the windscreen on the left hand side. So you can see forward around the car in front to see if anything is coming before committing to overtake.
Your comment got stolen by a bot :(
Love your channel. From South Africa
Really like hearing from tuning experts like this.
Always wanted a 2J in my 88' Supra and to hop it up a bit, but these make me a little scared lol.
I used to work on a traveling stunt show. Each new town we arrived to we would have to source cars for the monster truck pit. The police stations would supply impounded boy racer cars and on the first day of the show they would bring the previous owners to watch their cars get crushed in the pit. Fun times
I love Miata’s and would love to see the “fails”. Love you guys. Great channel. Keep it up, brothers!
7:35 The "some transmissions are more... forgiving than others" made me think of the old VW-transmissions (for the original Beetle, Bus, and Type 3 and 4), where many people said that to destroy a VW transmission from that time, you would need an anti-aircraft gun 😇 The engines could be very temperamental, but the transmissions were over-engineered and would take all the beatings 😇
The transmissions were swappable with Tatra and Porsche ones... That should tell the story.
There's one thing I'd like to clarify about electric motors in automotive applications. The motor and the whole power delivery is rated for certain power. This means that when you start driving, you are torque limited and having high low end torque is good. You get more speed, you maintain the torque, the power goes up linearly. Then you reach the power limit, so the torque is reduced with the speed you gain, you run at constant power instead. This means that electric cars are usually great up to certain speed with constant torque and then they are stuck at constant power often loosing the battle.
Been racing a 2002 WRX since 2007 and have only broken one 5 speed so far. Though, I won't launch it while racing unless I really need that second and a half off my time. It's at 300whp currently.
Seeing the bucket of water coming out of the exhaust at 1:24, I think they filled the exhaust with water before revving. The engine also sounds too good for an engine that's pumping out engine coolant like that.
I did this in high school. Just ran a garden hose to the tail pipe until it overflows, makes the car sound like it's got 10x the displacement.
Yeah, the clip is Turkish and as a Turk myself, I can tell you, it's a bit of a trend there to do that
I think you're probably right; that would be misfiring like anything with that much water in the cylinders.
16:01 drew peacock mentioned ‼️‼️
Steph’s such a legend. Used to read about his crazy exploits in Import Tuner mag (rip) back in the day.
This is crazy to think that donut started with Jeramy in his drive way to now having a whole business what a ride this channel has brought me throughout the years
Makes sense...since it's the Suzuka F1 weekend
The 2jz king himself, Papadakis!
Love all of the videos!
nah, that gtr wasnt running late timing. that was a gas or something just due to the color of the flame. it wasnt typical for a gasoline fire in the exhaust.
FYI: You do NOT have to let cops “inspect” your vehicle. Always say no to searches.
The lack of Sandro and Angela is disturbing......
I've been following Steph for several years... you don't make enough videos! 😊😊😊
That group of purple cars is Drift Team Haze during open practice at the 2023 Bloodmasters Invitational at Etown Raceway Park
My first car was an old Citroen AX diesel that blew the head gasket four times until it cracked the block and I couldn't justify spending more money on that nugget. It was old but it took me all over Europe and I loved it... the head gasket and electrical system... I bloody hated them with a passion. :D Apparently both had design flaws. Otherwise, cool old 53hp nugget.
On my last car, a Ford Focus Estate, I had a tyre delaminate at 150 kph on the highway... that was terrifying and I have no idea how I held the car. Shear luck!
Nuggets are bad, yes?
@@drippingwaxNuggets are a name we usually use for crappy old small cars. I love them but they're not for everyone! :)
@@firbolg can do lap Nürburgring under 10 mins, a guy spent years and many engines and other parts he did it under 10 mins and its on the tube ive never seen a car get abused so much but great lap
@@stevekenilworth Interesting!
Would love to see some more Miata fails lol
Same. Gotta get Jobe in on it tho

14:47 That Civic was definitely knocking and they just decided to let it go out in a flame of glory.
I just wanted to hop on here and tell you guys and gals how much my husband and I love this channel and all the hosts and hostesses. It’s always entertaining, informative and engaging… and downright hilarious. We watch it on the TV, and I realized I wasn’t subbed on my personal account so I fixed that asap! Keep bringing us this primo content!! 😘
DREWPEACOCK 16:02
14:59 that isn't built, it's a D series haha
"the engine has 5 quarts of oil, but about 1-1.5 gallons of coolant"
That'd be like me saying "it takes about 5000mL of oil and about 5L coolant"
1:02 When you upgrade your drivetrain, try and make the weakest link one thats cheap and relatively easy to fix in a pinch. Its better to blow a cv axle than a transmission if something lets loose during wheel hop or a money shift.
Paying for UA-cam. Still gets commercials. Sighs
Hahahahahaag
Lulz
Then your not paying for it if you got ads
It’s better than an add every 5 min
It's a hard knock life
IMHO, that 350z was right out of the carwash. Was nothing bad with gasket. 😅
yeah thats a lot of water for a blown gasket haha
I agree, when it's the head gasket what comes out of the exhaust is more white smoke than actual liquid.
The subtle Drew Peacock clip
Papadakis is legend... I was there when he was the first 4 cylinder honda in the 9s back in 98...
I think that Subaru driver money shifted. The look on his face and reaction that he knew it was toast. Cause he knows he went into the wrong gear.
Nah, that is the gears blowing up inside. He shifted into the right gear. The transmission was on its last ride. Money shifting is going into the lower gear and overring and potentially grenading the engine. Money

super cool you guys got steph on the show, love it
I’m pulling my 5 speed out of my subie right now I actually like the gearing ratio. I’m planning on upgrading it with the PPG gears
0:49 solid understanding of the imperial measurement system LOL!
1:45 that was a thing some time ago
people used to push a pressure washer way up the exhaust and fill it with foam and water

Dude, thanks for making my junked car useful.
My first daily car 5 years ago was a 92 Toyota paseo and I love that little guy. I’ve worked on the transmission and suspension. The car for a 100hp 4cyl 1.5l moved nice with what I did to it. I liked it just to cruise around and have fun in the highway with a car that I can manage easily since it doesn’t have much horse power.
Now I own a modern Corolla and a 2003 outlander XLE after my paseo transmission broke for the second time (I abused it) and I have it on the towers waiting for me to do something.
As soon as you mentioned “get yourself an inexpensive car you don’t have to drive”
Well that’s the one, is pretty cheap to work on it and easy, is a Toyota paseo, same as a Tercel. Is a 5efe engine. Pretty easy to work on and the transmission is easy too.
This dude is one of the OG's. I remember reading about him in magazines back in the 90's.
14:25 Oklahoma flame throwers for a fuel injected vehicle:
Run a signal wire from a coil pack on the engine to a relay, have that relay feed a separate coil on the frame rail, serving the function of a set of breaker points. The coil on the rail is connected to a spark plug in the exhaust pipe. Helps if the cats have been gutted first.
please more episodes with Steph. i feel like the car community has forgotten how much of a racing badass he is
Let’s go Stef is back!
I made the mistske of renting a manual transmission righthand drive car in England. Wven with many years experience driving manual trans in the US, I soon learned I wasn't very good at shifting with my left hand. I think that car's clutch was pretty much toast after a week driving it... with only about 3000 miles on the odometer! After that, on subsequent trips I stuck with automatics.
in uk people who travel a lot they have to get good at both. it don't bother me what side i sit on its all the same clutch is the same too so no idea how you messed that up. most manuals if not worn take you to center in neutral so i line 3rd 4th, all the way to left 1 and 2 and all way right 5 and 6th or reverse, using gear stick correct you should never have issues, 1 and 2 i use edge my hand mostly push left in gear, center gears the already centered can just use couple fingers, 5 and 6 inside your hand pull towards to and in to gear, left hand drive it other way using hand 1st and 2nd inside hand 5 and 6 left side hand. clutch sounds like you used to much gas and on the bite or riding clutch to long
Omg when I saw the black Civic trying to drift was the same era with mischief videos and Steph papadakis, nice 👍
He is such a cool dude. love seeing him in vids
The self destructing Miata guy's instant "That is NOT Good!" was absolutely perfect. I forgot to double check the front axle nut on a little 2 stroke scooter one time, figuring that one out at 40mph was a real eye opener.
I had a head gasket go bad on an '84 VW Rabbit diesel. Mechanic replaced the gasket and it ran great for another 4-5 years until Buffalo winters rotted the car out. Got almost 200k miles on it with the original clutch. With winterized fuel it got ~ 55 mpg highway mileage.
This is not Donut, it's Real Mechanics Stuff! This is great! Thanks guys!
The tuners choice here in Georgia is VW/Porsche. That or diesels or LS usually on boost/nitrous. You get the most from diesel or switching and tuning on nitro but you need alot of fuel pump to run nitro or methanol.
13:44 fun fact, as long as it wasn’t a live video, it can’t be used to press charges on them unless there’s a major felony involved (such as assault or deleting)
The clip with the purple drift cars is Haze Drift Team. That video went viral and if I remember correctly they said there was a spot on the track that was like ice right where they’d flick for the entry and it just sent everyone flying. These guys are pretty damn good drivers (amateurs who do well in grassroots comps).
11:21
My cousin used to have as his first car. It’s an old European car. It was called La-car I can’t remember who makes it but the thing could barely even get up to 55. Anyways, we were driving it back from Beaverton Oregon to Woodburn down I5 and following behind the car it started shooting molted metal out of the exhaust and hitting the front of my truck. Unfortunately, we did not make it to our destination. By the time we got pulled over and got the hood lifted half of the motor was gone no joke it was gone! Half of the block was somewhere but not in the engine compartment! There was a piston and a rod hanging out, it was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life! The love of cars will never go away! They can’t build them like they used to build them back in the 70s! This car had probably close to 1,000,000 miles on it! Which is 999,999 miles more than it should went😂
Steph is rhe real deal. His Supra build is a joy
My fav channel pls more of this
Special guest Drew Peacock😂
Drew Peacock feature 🔥🔥
that cop was ABSOLUTELY being a bro, and just going through the motions for the bodycam...he was just letting him know to chill
3:16 that looks like a sheared impeller on the water pump to me. Get up to about 5k - 5500 on the tach, have a little slop in the shaft or a pulley a little out of balance, impeller meets housing, housing meets fender...
Never expected to see Drew Peacock on this channel
in the UK iv seen a few left hand drive cars fit cameras to help them see the huge blind spot better, cameras now are tiny for the FOV you get from them.
"All jelly" was a brilliant statement!
😂 Nolan looks like he was green-screened Into the video after Steph did his reaction and Nolan’s trying his best to seem like he’s having a conversation with him.
