Hey Jimmy. Let me tel you a little secret: Use Bedliner on the inside of the fiberglass parts. At the least on the bumpers and doors. Using bedliner makes the fiberglass just about bomb proof. No matter how crashed and crushed it gets it still holds it form and it stays together in one single piece. No need to run around the track finding bumper parts and zip-tie`ìng them together. BEDLINER!!!
@@braidenreid5196 Yea there is some extra weight, But it`s not much. You don't need much to make it stick together. But the more you use the stronger it gets. Like you could use a "regular" layer and have a strong sturdy bumper that survives a whole season. Or you could spray a inch of the stuff everywhere and go out and use the cars as bumpercars without taking damage.
Probably because he hasn't levelled up same as rudnick and fyeah he's doing the same stuff now he was doing years ago Tj hunt Adam lz Eought The roadtreck guys They all stepped up and pushed for more than just building cars it's really that simple
Jimmy you should call the FRS the Juicyyyy Oakes FRS and the AE86 the Millenium Milli AE86 👍 just saying and jimmy you can have the credit 👍and as always keep up the great work 👍
Dj’s comment just went over everyone’s head. James everything is getting bigger! You’re growing and we’ve had the privilege of seeing you unfold. I genuinely think you’re awesome for staying so green and always wanting to learn. Let’s fucken gooooo.🤟🏼
Hell yeah dude! Love to see the s14 content. Id love to see more of the metal work when the cage goes in. It doesn't really have to be a "how-to", just some good coverage .
Kukui looks sick and just seeing it in primer colour looks really good too. I'd love to see a light metallic sky blue colour for it though, maybe with some bright yellow sponsor livery and designs on top. Could always go white or matching yellow wheels too.
Damn brother sorry to hear that. Just remember, if they leave or reject you then you're better off but you wont see it until later in the long run. To not feel alone why stay with someone that doesn't want to be with you you feel me? Stay up
Jimmy you're the best, thank you for all the free awesome content week in week out. Congrats to you and Stef on the baby, wishing you some much deserved time off with the fam once he/she is born! :)
Over the past year or so Jimmy has become one of my favorite car UA-camrs, sick well done builds with tasteful mods and informative enough while still keeping it interesting to watch 👍
@09:54, once ready, use a semi rigid spring, over the top of the "hood" pin, then put the trunk over over the pins with the spring still on, then push down and install the pin. this will keep tension on the bottom side of the trunk hood, keeping it tight and upright to the body lines.
Life is about to change Jimmy. I said I would still be all about cars but the second your first child is born, you cry and then all of a sudden nothing else matters more than your child. You wouldn't think you could love something so much but everything changes. Enjoy the ride and most importantly look after Steph.
I'm gald that you went S14! You're THE Nissan guy, and running (I'm gonna get hate for this) a true Nissan is YOU! I may be a video early, but CONGRATS Jimmy and Steph!!!
Great to see the Pro build progressing. I know UA-cam can be fickle, but when little O arrives I hope you take at least a full week off. If not two. I'm sure the guys can handle banging out content on their own if it's a must. Again, please take the time off 🙏🏾
It definitely needs a big wing on it. Make it look even more aggressive than it already does. It’s coming along so good. I can’t wait to see the final product
Martin Richards and the Driftworks R32 has a really cool setup with the hood. It has 4 bonnet pins. But the back 2 go into hinges, so it can still open like a normal hood. Something to think about
Hmmm 🤔 I wonder what the S14 comp car would look like with a R34 front and rear end ? And I know its 2 different chassis the Skyline is a R body the Kouki is a S chassis !
Huge Origin wing and a WILD color on this would make me so happy. I know neither of those are your style, but man I feel like that wing with like a flashy metallic purple color or like a mint color or something would hit hard
Jimmy to make the rear end match the front you really need am aggressive duck bill spoiler to kill the taillight gap enclose them a bit so it matches the "straight" line thin look of the front, big wing won't solve that only a duckbill that touches the top of the tail lights. Also since it was a clean s14 I think it was a great idea going back to the original chassis design, just like if you never cut it up bit once it's smashed then you change to 15 😁
The Hat is Dope Steve! I think Steve needs a Car! It would be cool if all the guys got the same car then designed it to there personally style and all could go drifting!!!

Fantastic idea Holy heck
Sounds like that'd be a good bit of added weight though no?
not much tho@@braidenreid5196

@@braidenreid5196 They are drift cars not "race" cars where weight is one of the top concerns.
How Jimmy doesn't have 3 million subs is crazy. I literally feel like part of the crew bc they take us along and tell the stories so well.
Yeah better vibes and better content than probably 95% of automotive content creators on yt
@@jakeiswayblack3377 99% ❤
I’m with you on that! His is my favorite channel on UA-cam.
Great builds and all his boys working with him.
Y not 5 million or 10 mill?
Probably because he hasn't levelled up same as rudnick and fyeah he's doing the same stuff now he was doing years ago
Tj hunt
Adam lz
Eought
The roadtreck guys
They all stepped up and pushed for more than just building cars it's really that simple
We can't wait to see the finished product!!!
Jimmy you should call the FRS the Juicyyyy Oakes FRS and the AE86 the Millenium Milli AE86 👍 just saying and jimmy you can have the credit 👍and as always keep up the great work 👍
Congrats on being a dad. It’s a great feeling 🎉
Guys we got to get Jimmy to 1mill ASAP its insane hes not there yet with great car content every time !
A swan neck wing would look gnarly!
This! I'm in!
Anything that will take my eyes off that ugly ass S14 rear end lol
The Tanner Foust Passat Special 😏
DJ was right, lots of things growing and about to grow at Oakes Garage!
i dunno why but i love that after all these years Bonsai Trees is still your outro music
Yes! so good
Leave room for change is the quote of the year. Def a long term mindset
I'm also a S14a fan, but I wished you go with S14 (Zenki), because these are rare seen. There are 2 nice S14 comp cars with SR20VET in hungury
I love how Dj and Ant came on the video just Stoned & Amazed by the S14😂😂😂
Ant looked baked! 😂
Looking good, sad it's not a zenki but
brian aint lying, air jacks would go hardddddd
A Jimmy O video is exactly what I needed on this rainy Arizona Saturday morning
Hell yeah az baby doing the same 👌
you lucky bastard.... I am in the middle of a snowstorm..... In Norway.... Would love some rain here....
@@supertedogprikendon't worry it's a snowstorm in northern Arizona lol
10 in the morn in Australia, wish it was raining, but its 28°c sorry fellas idk what that is in freedom units 😢
Lol 58 degrees in Maine can’t complain. All of the snow is gone to.
Glad to see this channel doing so well. I remember when you were considering taking a step back to work a normal job. Keep it up Jimmy!
The last week of videos have been so damn fire, congrats to you papa Jim
kouki front with s15 rear would've been a vibe on the 2F kit
16:26 Brian, never go full ooga booga 😂😂😂😂
Exactly what i was thinking. Brian bob
Honestly so satisfying to watch this go together
Oh ya i love your choice!!! Basically my s14 with spoon drivetrain 😬😬 cant wait to see more of it
Patiently waiting for all the baby merch to come! Just had a little one myself. Keep up the videos guys! Killing it

I love the crew that jimmy has now spoon and Austin have just leveled up this channel and builds
Congratulations to your new family James. Super stoked for you.
Oakes Crew moves at the speed of light I love to see it. The Kouki front is perfect ❤
Steve really brining the supportive uncle energy to the videos lately
Big love to the gang 💕
I hope you get same wing that Deane has because it fits perfectly with that bodykit
Good luck with safe arrival of baby Oakes
Great looking kit!! and love the balance of projects you have going on.
Hope that baby pops soon guys can't wait for daddy Jim to get into the new season
Kukui looks sick and just seeing it in primer colour looks really good too. I'd love to see a light metallic sky blue colour for it though, maybe with some bright yellow sponsor livery and designs on top. Could always go white or matching yellow wheels too.
Having such a shitty day my job sucks my old lady left me !!!! But at least I have Jimmy
Damn brother sorry to hear that. Just remember, if they leave or reject you then you're better off but you wont see it until later in the long run. To not feel alone why stay with someone that doesn't want to be with you you feel me? Stay up
been anxiously waiting for the next pro car video, LETS GO
Jimmy you're the best, thank you for all the free awesome content week in week out. Congrats to you and Stef on the baby, wishing you some much deserved time off with the fam once he/she is born! :)
Perfect s14 kit
Over the past year or so Jimmy has become one of my favorite car UA-camrs, sick well done builds with tasteful mods and informative enough while still keeping it interesting to watch 👍
Don't wear spoon out!! Make sure you give that guy a break.
These builds are hitting new levels and i love it
@09:54, once ready, use a semi rigid spring, over the top of the "hood" pin, then put the trunk over over the pins with the spring still on, then push down and install the pin. this will keep tension on the bottom side of the trunk hood, keeping it tight and upright to the body lines.
Congratulations and best of luck when the time comes. You’re gonna be a great dad Jim
That's some serious kit! Can't wait to see this beast come together. Props for the detailed breakdown, guys. Keep up the awesome work! 💪
I always love Stevie's energy
Sil-eighty still holds a special place in my heart but the Kouki 14 hits hard, I like that, its clean AF!
Nardi gray would be sick and a wild livery
This!
How has Jimmy not gotten to 1 mill subscribers? It’s the best channel on UA-cam IMO
Chassis mounted wing!
As soon as I saw the hood I was SO HAPPY you went with kouki🖤🖤🖤
the consistency make this chanel the best one in the motorsport game
Life is about to change Jimmy. I said I would still be all about cars but the second your first child is born, you cry and then all of a sudden nothing else matters more than your child. You wouldn't think you could love something so much but everything changes. Enjoy the ride and most importantly look after Steph.
A new born and pro drift build?? Jimmy is gonna have a busy 2024 lmao Good luck Brother!! we will be right here supporting you!
i just realised that the reason we havent seen spoon drift car updates is because we get them when jimmy is busy with lil jim. Great video as always.
jimmy how do u not have 1mil??! so underrated , the best car content out there everybody is such a vibe we love yall jim!
Congratulations on being a dad soon also Jimmy!
Nice choice on lights. Fair point about not using oem
I agree with brian and spoon, chop that trunk up, big ole chassis mounted GT wing is exactly what this thing needs
this dude bouta be a father and no one is freaking out as much as I'm freaking out. congrats jimbo
I'm gald that you went S14! You're THE Nissan guy, and running (I'm gonna get hate for this) a true Nissan is YOU!
I may be a video early, but CONGRATS Jimmy and Steph!!!
Brian playing with the body parts to Dj kicking them the vibes are golden

All the frs/brz chassis stuff has got me motivated. Just ordered some coilovers today. 20:59
LFGOOOO!!!!
This video says “hey guys, we got our 86 back so Anthony can rest. Then we made his life hell again by giving him a pro car to do next” 😂
A Group D rear wing would hit hard!
A cut rear bumper with the bash bar exposed looks awesome on the kouki s14's
What a transformation! Pro Car is Gonna Be SICK!!!!
A big chassis mount wing is a must
Dude I don't know of anyone making a better car in a box than 2F 🤘🏼🔥🔥
You nailed it Jim! The best times are ahead with the little one bro 👌
Big country labs carbon wing like JD130 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Grey chassis, with black roof and pillars with a black/chrome livery would go hard
Big country labs getting an order in the coming days from Jimmy Oakes!
Superdoof means you have to run it railed ❤️❤️
Car's HOT, Jim!
Good job steph good job man! Congratulations 🎊

Stoked to see you went full s14, you don't see them as much in FD. It'll stand out nicely, especially in burgundy, that'd be HOT
Jimmy and gang, y'all rock! Peace

Man that Millennium Jade 86 carries a presence
That packaging job was insane lol straight tetris masters there at 2F
Good luck on the daddy front too Jimmy you will be an amazing dad iv got 3 boys and 2 girls
The Hat is Dope Steve! I think Steve needs a Car! It would be cool if all the guys got the same car then designed it to there personally style and all could go drifting!!!
For the wing y'all should do a swan neck style wing kinda like what's on the GTD Mustang, Would look sick on the pro car
Love to see it Silver moss. The pair of them at the track one full livery one to go get dj his morning cooffeee would look sick
That front is fire dam Jimmy your game is 100 fold since spoon joined you
Giant Wing, huge ass endplates and MASSIVE O Pineapple vinyl on em. This car is gonna be redonk.
You need to hire another welder/mechanic to take some load off spoon. Homie must feel super overwhelmed.
Can’t wait to see all the dope details Spoon puts into this thing
Stevie’s hat choice today 👌🏼😂 love it
Exciting Bodykit Stuff!
Love this channel...one of the best out there...such a good vibe
awesome! congrats on the baby
oh boy Jet's pink CMW Kouki is so goooood..
That's crazy! I forget you're about to be a Dad, congrats! I'm actually about to have my first in August.
I love this build and what ots goung to bring to the channel!! Also miss seeing the OG's on the channel
Jimmy's word of the week: Fruition
