I love the 2021 version of commerce. Influencers influence and suppliers are smart enough to listen. Thanks for having the balls to call it like you see it. And thanks to RPM for being responsive. It’s a win for everyone!
after what happened with Westen I definitely don't blame you for getting the big security doors to try and keep people who don't belong out of your warehouse/shop
@@lefttea I don't care about it enough to go to Google, I thought someone would give more than a three word answer in reply with a few more details about it.
As someone who has worked in news for nearly 2 decades. It has always frustrated me how a company will do something to someone and then refuse to work with them to fix it. Then they call the news and we do a story calling attention to the problem. All of a sudden everyone is working with each other.
My sister has one of those cars. She has serviced it religiously and it has almost 200,000 California highway miles on it. It's been a great car for her and it's surprisingly quick too. Hers is Sunburst Yellow and you can see that thing coming from a mile away.
A roofing company should have copper flashing in 12" wide rolls and could cut you off a foot. That might be worth checking out if you need to make a copper gasket in the future. Another good video as always.
WTG! I'm Glad you were able to get the company to make it a complete kit! Hopefully they follow through with their pledge. The Garage is looking great! I cant wait until the LOFT is done!
I have to admit that after watching that 1st video I was thinking; oh-oh (It was posted to a few different FB Kappa Groups). So it's good to know that a positive outcome took place over your feedback. The Kappa community is very small compared to more popular enthusiast vehicles, so we really need the help of vendors that continue to support our platform.
Drove by shop on way home as I always do. Saw door open and thought JR'S in there! Lol. But can't be that guy who just walks up lol. The caddy said hello 😆 btw
Someone in my neighborhood was selling what appears to the same Redline and I really considered buying it but he wanted all the money plus so I just had to walk away. Now I see Gabe cruising around and really wish I bought it.
John, ever thought of doing an apartment build inside your warehouse similar to the hanger in some of Tyler's videos? You could save a fortune by not having the house mortgage, or do you prefer to have the property as investment?
Land of the free, eh? Okay thanks. I'm already sold on the idea of building living quarters inside a commercial/industrial unit. I'll just keep it quiet and not seek the approval of some statist bureaucrat.
Well, I'd call that a success. Company is a bit mediocre. Company gets called out. Company responds with a significant upgrade. New users benefit. Win!
Wished there was a follow up on a dyno to see the RWHP numbers. The shop I go to did a factory stock Solstice GXP and it did close to 265 if you round up the numbers
Congrats on getting a good change through your video. Bet they were jumping at the chance to improve and delete those clips, since a ton of folks follow you.
Found a Saturn Sky Red line in North Carolina (manual) in North Carolina with 42k Need some time off work to make the deal.... I'll install the same kit. Thank you.
Does the cruise control work on that xTerra? It went out on my old QX4...apparently it's an issue with a solenoid that fails. Never had this happen with another vehicle.
I am here commenting to help you John Ross. You should never delete a video, and reupload a second version. Why? Because the engagement on that new video will be lower, and UA-cam will consequently lowers your ability to showcase your video on the home page and suggestions. This will reduce your ability to earn new subscribers. My advice is to reach out to companies before the video gets out, searching for an answer, and only release the video either after they get back to you, or after a week or so go by. I leaved this video playing, liked it, and commented it to help you. But not everyone will do that. Thus, my advice is not to delete a video, and never reupload a new version of the same video.
that's very good of the company to look and listen and do changes - well done to them

He said balls,....yum
Bro you're doing us GXP/Redline owners a huge favor by doing this and getting RPM to fix their kit. Mad props bro
thats good at least they saw your video and took some notes.
Should charge them engineering rates
Explanation at the beginning confirmed my sanity after being confused by my notifications 😅

What happened to him?
@@CR7659 he got robbed
@@Julian-do7bv Well I mean that seems kind of obvious...
@@CR7659 maybe try google? or is that also kind of obvious?

you see how much we love you guys, we will rewatch yesterdays video... Thanks to RPM for listening to its customers.

Glad to see Gabe, your friends are one of the best parts of your channel. Josh is a magician. Gabe has all-time best T-shirts !!
🍻😁👍🏼
Last time I was this early couldn't find an exhaust gasket
Forget everything else. The highlight for me was the sound from the GTO V8. Pure magic 😀
A cameo of all my fav OGs! Gabe, Josh, Jake! My life is complete!
A company that actually listens! Wow, do you think they could talk to my wife about her listening?
LOL! As it turns out, I am a marriage and family therapist...
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 ROFL 🤣, you definitely need to be in more videos!
Congratulations on 300k!! 🎉🎉
Something about him is like.... soothing. Very calming car work

Look at Kansas Autoplatz filling up with projects, almost looks like Wizards. Then there is Gabe, never ending project 🤣 Even brought in Jake
"Original and Extra-Crispy" Gabe has the best lines too : )
WTG! I'm Glad you were able to get the company to make it a complete kit! Hopefully they follow through with their pledge. The Garage is looking great! I cant wait until the LOFT is done!
WOW, Interactive UA-cam videos....sorta. Nice! Cool to know the company was watching and listening and then ACTED on it!!
I don't know about everyone else but I'd like to see a full send with the draggy on the Sky now. In Mexico of course.
🌮🌮🌮
Taco Tuesday
2 years ago, man I've been watching JRG for along time 🤯
That is great to hear that they are improving the kit. Glad they took constructive criticism the correct way.

Congrats on 300k JR, 500k right around the corner.
300K!!! It is about time. Keep up the great work!!
Good on RPM for making this right, not just for Gabe but future customers as well.
Finally more Gabe content...er ugh...I mean Saturn Redline turbo update installation video thingys. LOL.
😂🍻
Took them a UA-camr to get them to add some gaskets 🤦🏻♂️
Very nice and professional that the company responded positively and will upgrade and complete the kit.
👍🏽 Gabe rocks cool tshirt once again.
Respect to them, wish more companies listened
After they got called out
Drove by shop on way home as I always do. Saw door open and thought JR'S in there! Lol. But can't be that guy who just walks up lol. The caddy said hello 😆 btw
quid pro quo, they took your criticism, and acted on it, they corrected your video you played fair and updated, well done.
JR and Gabe are hilarious with all their silly inside jokes and stuff.
🍻😁👍🏼
Congratulations on reaching 300k subscribers.🔥👊👏
Gabe practicing his TV spokesperson skillz...
Someone in my neighborhood was selling what appears to the same Redline and I really considered buying it but he wanted all the money plus so I just had to walk away. Now I see Gabe cruising around and really wish I bought it.
Keep looking. They really are terrific cars!
I think that was the only video I didn't watch of yours. Sweet!
John, ever thought of doing an apartment build inside your warehouse similar to the hanger in some of Tyler's videos? You could save a fortune by not having the house mortgage, or do you prefer to have the property as investment?
He's said several times that he can't live there
The shop would have to be rezoned to mixed use.
Land of the free, eh? Okay thanks.
I'm already sold on the idea of building living quarters inside a commercial/industrial unit. I'll just keep it quiet and not seek the approval of some statist bureaucrat.
Good on you editing and clarifying illegitimate brother of mine.
Haha, my man 🙏
Excellent. Great news. Sorry for having to redo it, but it's important to be fair to vendors when they respond to criticism.
It’s like deja vu this channel 😆
Jr making changes...simply beautiful 🥲
Middle of the day upload! Nice!
Well, I'd call that a success. Company is a bit mediocre. Company gets called out. Company responds with a significant upgrade. New users benefit.
Win!
Hell yeah its back up! Different kind of car, different kind of company! 😁😁🚀🚀
Congrats on 300k!

Drop by Albuquerque on your way, it’s fun here, we have... meth.
Wow, you guys actually made a difference! It's just weird that RPM didn't do that from the beginning. And DDM, see ya!
The power of the internet. Cool.
In the right hands it’s powers can be used for unlimited good...😉👍🏼
You're going to be in PHX tomorrow??? That sucks! I have to work. Keep up the great vids!!!!!
Thanks for those links to the parts!
Hell yeah brother
Congrats on getting a good change through your video. Bet they were jumping at the chance to improve and delete those clips, since a ton of folks follow you.
I am looking forward to seeing the warehouse floor and balcony building content.
Gabe, auditioning for a recurring segment in the WatchJRGo franchise.... Would be cool actually.... with a helping of Gabe's dry humour......
LOL... I’ve been here for years!
i Have an 08 Sky Redline. Stock Turbo I did 296 to the Wheels and 353 Tq.
wonder when JR going to get a rolling road for the shop
That would be awesome! All these trips to Mexico for testing are wearing me out!
Nice tour, Kansas World Of Wheels is shaping up. Did we upgrade to turbo diesel fresh from a newer F250? Welcome back Jake, and love the old Pontiac.
This video is full of gems
My favorite Gabe joke at 10:40 😂
🍻😉👍🏼
I like the Karate Kid shirt your buddy Gabe is wearing in your video
Great Job RPM.
Saw some talk about this on the Forum...
Damn man you're gonna be in Phoenix just in time for the first hot days of the year. Wear something comfortable
Where and how long are you going to be in Phoenix?
Any time for the Phoenix chapter of Watch JRGOo fan club to get a meet and greet?
Found a Saturn Sky Red line in North Carolina (manual) in North Carolina with 42k
Need some time off work to make the deal.... I'll install the same kit.
Thank you.
Phoenix on Friday? I'll wave at you as you land from the shores of South Mountain, lol.
Hello I have a Saturn sky 2008 and you know what’s mean the boost , is on in the car dashboard
Wait! Where are you going to be on Friday? I'm in the Phoenix area!
I’m waiting for Gabe’s Opel GT. What going on with it?
It’s still on the rotisserie. Gonna hit it hard this summer.
Is that a C6 Z06 I see in the back ground? You haven't even done anything with the C5 yet.
I was hoping the update would show you ripping on it a bit. Still doesn't though :(
Also Jake has some good rhythm
Listen closely to the moments before and you can hear us beatboxing to the ticking sound.
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 Is there anything you guys can't do?
@@kgb4187 .... that’s a really good question... 🤔🤔🤔
Am I the only one who saw this & thought it was an April Fool's gag???
Going to to warm here in Phoenix this weekend.
It’s “warm” in Phoenix EVERY weekend!!😂🤣
Nice ride but what's going on with the Opel GT?
Still in the garage! LOL!
@@Gabe-ABNCW3 I sure hope you do a series when the work on it begins!
#JR Changes The World!!!
John you doit great for ather buyers to the kit 👍
JR GO is the SH$T!!!!
How does the factory-issued engine accomodate this add-on? I would be concerned about heat and residual heat generated by the turbo system.
Sky's The Limit: Part Duex!!!
thanks so much ;big help.👍👍👍
Are you going to cameo on AAR on the way to Phoenix? You called during his latest Copart walkaround.
Do I have to lift the engine 3" to be able to take out the Catalytic converter.
Does the cruise control work on that xTerra? It went out on my old QX4...apparently it's an issue with a solenoid that fails. Never had this happen with another vehicle.
I thought that this was going to be an April's fool day joke, like oh the new turbo blew up the engine. Lol
Probably I was living under rock I didn’t know those Pontiac’s had ecotec turbo
They have two engine platforms- the 2.0 turbo (LNF) and the 2.4 NA (LNK?).
Is this car the same as an Opel speedster?
No. The Opel speedster is based on the Lotus Elise platform. This is the Opel GT.
Can i buy your stock intercooler

You should never delete a video, and reupload a second version.

Because the engagement on that new video will be lower, and UA-cam will consequently lowers your ability to showcase your video on the home page and suggestions.

What was the purple car in the background
While in Phoenix, hit up Ta Carbon. Best legit tacos in town. In the ghetto but worth it!
What is different? Have you done a retake with different parts?
Nice update
Hopefully Gabe got a free turbo kit for having to do a re edit
Congratulations on shaming them into doing the right thing
The red tubes add 10HP because they are “red”. But if you had just polished the stock tubes to a mirror finish it would have added 20HP. Just saying.
Dang it. Got it backwards again....
