You got to love that Jason brings his car into the shop and both Dave and Mike say “yeah Mike doesn’t do maintenance” then Mia’s car shows up and MIKES DOING MAINTENANCE 😂😂😂
The fact its a V12 rebuild and just 1 time it dident realy start its just hat off to Mike and Tim and all the hands thet make this happen. Congrats on the F12 working and hopping soon dino vid and first drive
CONGRATULATIONS to Mike, Tim, Sean, and everyone else who helped build that engine. That sound on my phone is crazy, I would love to hear it in real life. Gear head heaven this morning, thanks to DDE. Thanks for the early Bday present, guys!
On ANY build there will always be issues how you rectify those issues shows how good a builder you are. Mike Essa is that builder a very knowledgeable man
Well done Mike & Tim. Great job. I think you should give Tim more praise as he works tirelessly in the back ground. Give both Mike & Tim centre stage at your block party. Contratulations to all involved in this beast of a build!!
Damon, your vision lives. Mike and Tim are absolute savages. It sounds so much better. Congrats boys, I am so excited to see power numbers. Someone is definitely going to jail, you guys killed it!!!
Watching the F12 start-up is like watching a child being born. It brought tears to my eyes. I remember the day this car first appeared on DDE, to where it is now, is just amazing. What a journey.
What an insane turnaround! I can tell you right now even at 4k RPM's it sounds better than when it was a street car. Go Mike and Tim! Can't believe she's almost done!
OH MY GOOD GOD🥹🥳 That thing sounds insane 😮 CONGRATULATIONS MIKE AND TIM AND THE TEAM BEHIND THE SCENES THATS PUT SO MUCH WORK ONTO THIS BUILD🥳🥳🥳 YALL WORKED HARD WE APPRECIATE YOU❤
Mike and Tim are so valuable to DDE, obviously from a technical standpoint but also personality wise. They fit in so well with all aspects of the channel. ❤
Personally, this is the most interesting video I've seen from DDE ever... probably because I own a porsche with the same engine and this F12 project feels like its a masterclass of race car building
LETS GOOOOO YSOBS! Stoked for this! Mike you’re doing an awesome job! Tim you’re doing pretty damn good too! You have a great teacher right now! Appreciate and absorb everything you can! Need you to be Mike 2.0 when the original is sailing around the world! Edited once I heard that beautiful piece of art fire up! No tune, turbos just spinning…. It’s hard to know what you are hearing and feeling but I had the truck stereo just jacked up…. Damn.. damn.. damn that thing purrrrrrrrsss! Sounds intimidating as fawk! Congratulations for getting this far!
Heck ya!! Morning DDE fam… Mike you and Tim killed the F12 build 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Definitely need another start up video once turbos are plumped with intake finally making boost 😈😈😈
Congratulations to the DDE crew for this great milestone…Especially Mike and Tim… yes they are getting paid and yes, it is a job but when people do what they love for a job, you can see them pour their heart and soul into it.
Good god that sounded bloody awesome how will it sound all dialed in and turbos linked cannot wait. great video. A Big Pat on the back for Mike & Tim they have done a great job getting this where it is now.
Mike Tim, well done guys, she sounds interesting to say the least. But I am still Interested in why the f12 had water in the oil, I cannot see the timing having anything to do with the cooling. I also aggree with having an engine plate with date and who put it together. BTY good luck with the block party and you have no problems with your neighbour.
SO SICK!!! Reminds me of when I built my engine in my Silverado, when I started it for the first time my heart was pounding! First ever engine build on my daily vehicle. Such an amazing feeling when it starts and runs. Congratulations! Happy for you guys!
I had a smile from ear to ear and shed a tear when it started and ran perfect ❤❤ I wish u could like the video more than once because I'd be hitting it 1000x
Seeing this car running is making me emotional a bit 😂 seeing all of the time and struggles makes me feel like I was there the whole time, congratulations to Mike and Tim and all of the time and work they put into that beast can’t wait to see it back on the channel
Narrator...and the moment Mike said the word "Dyno"...Damon with an excited, overjoyed, and slightly mischeavious look in his eyes...creamed his pants..and quickly thought..FINALLY YSOB! These..are the Days of DDE. 🤣
Mike working on mias car should be considered as cheating even if just an oil change Mike is being paid for outside of the build budget and so was the oil change, damon this is unfair for jason
Ugh. Do everyone a favor and shut up. Mike just Doing an inspection and oil change and you want to whine like a girl. I bet you’re a blast to be around…
Salute to mike and tim man they killed it, the sound of that engine put a smile on my face i can’t imagine when everything is finished , made my day
Don’t forget Tim
@@santinoramirez7101literally says Mike and Tim 🤣
@@kieranscrutton6037 yep built good the enigine had to come out after mike and tim built itt
@@petekools5544 what you telling me for? 😂
Mike and Tim had nothing to do with the engine... And Sean built the headers...
31:29 the smile and laughter on Mike's face just tells it all. He made that motor possible. All praise the man of the hour!!
yep made built and failed took motor bak out pro its only 1 mill build
The F12 needs to have a metal plaque in the engine saying "Built by Mike Essa".
Hell yeah that would be dope 👌
😂😂 how many times are going to keep saying that
Don't forget tim
He didn't build the engine tho
@Alex-zi1nb but we can't leave tim out. He helped throughout the build to.
FINALLY!!! It does sound good and loud!!! Congratulations to Mike and Tim and Sean and everyone that made this a thing. What a machine!!!!
You got to love that Jason brings his car into the shop and both Dave and Mike say “yeah Mike doesn’t do maintenance” then Mia’s car shows up and MIKES DOING MAINTENANCE 😂😂😂
Jason’s car needs a lot more than a oil change
Mike & Tim it was worth the wait. Damon and Dave thank you both for the having the balls to complete the build. It is not disappointing.
The F12 sounds loud on idle. Imagine if Damon revving it while sliding on the block it will be mad YSOB
The fact its a V12 rebuild and just 1 time it dident realy start its just hat off to Mike and Tim and all the hands thet make this happen. Congrats on the F12 working and hopping soon dino vid and first drive
Congrats to the team. Can't wait for the tune, and actual sound.
CONGRATULATIONS to Mike, Tim, Sean, and everyone else who helped build that engine. That sound on my phone is crazy, I would love to hear it in real life. Gear head heaven this morning, thanks to DDE. Thanks for the early Bday present, guys!
On ANY build there will always be issues how you rectify those issues shows how good a builder you are. Mike Essa is that builder a very knowledgeable man
Preach !!!
Well done Mike & Tim. Great job. I think you should give Tim more praise as he works tirelessly in the back ground. Give both Mike & Tim centre stage at your block party. Contratulations to all involved in this beast of a build!!
Damon, your vision lives. Mike and Tim are absolute savages. It sounds so much better. Congrats boys, I am so excited to see power numbers. Someone is definitely going to jail, you guys killed it!!!
Could feel that engine shaking all the way over in the UK! Essa and Tim have killed it, cant wait to hear this shredding tyres!
I really hope the next few uploads are based on the F12, so we don't lose the continuity.
But what about Dave's broken cars?????
well next vid will probably be the block party, and as they said, the tuner need to be available. but we're on the final strech so.
@@kc550he has a salary
Congratulations to Mike and Tim for all the hard work.
Holy shit that car was so worth the wait. Seeing everyones relief after the second startup was awesome.
I felt so excited when it started! I can’t imagine how Damon and Mike felt! So awesome!

I missed mark being in the videos
Congrats to Mike, Tim and Sean! Can't wait for the dyno sessions!!!
The Universe allowed everyone to be there for the TRUE start up. Gotta Love It
There should be a metal plaque with the engraved signature/name of everyone that had a part in this build 💯💯💯
A monumental moment for DDE ! Congrats on the startup! Let’s go!!!!!!
Heck ya!! Morning DDE fam… Mike you and Tim killed the F12 build 🔥🔥🔥🔥

THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT! This is why I stuck around with this channel. Real builds, real race car. Big boy stuff !!
That thing is going to scream like a dragon!
Love the work Tim you and the mentor ESSA so dope.... Thank you

I also aggree with having an engine plate with date and who put it together. BTY good luck with the block party and you have no problems with your neighbour.
mike and tim are treasures. so thankful for them both being on the channel.
Great start up... Shane T is at world cup in Maryland...let's freaking gooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Holy FK BOYS!! I could stare at the front of that engine alllllllll day. Way to go Mike and Tim hell of a build fellas
SO SICK!!! Reminds me of when I built my engine in my Silverado, when I started it for the first time my heart was pounding! First ever engine build on my daily vehicle. Such an amazing feeling when it starts and runs. Congratulations! Happy for you guys!
I can't wait for track day. You have a couple of pros on the job. Mike is the OG mechanic.
He’s an OG racer* first of all and his love for cars made him into a mechanic💯 he was racing at the age of 16.
I had a smile from ear to ear and shed a tear when it started and ran perfect ❤❤ I wish u could like the video more than once because I'd be hitting it 1000x
Plot twist the porsche is Mike's next DDE build (😂).
Congrats guys. Long awaited victory.
5 minutes after waking up I’m already watching the new DDE video
Big up to Mike and Tim! You guys are really sick at your craft 🙏 cant wait to hear it boooosted
DDE morning check in crew
Grow up
Seeing this car running is making me emotional a bit 😂 seeing all of the time and struggles makes me feel like I was there the whole time, congratulations to Mike and Tim and all of the time and work they put into that beast can’t wait to see it back on the channel
That’s crazy. That engine is muting everyone hahah
Mike, Tim and the whole DDE Team outstanding job with this build! You guys should be proud 🫡🫡 ✊✊
Yes we got Mark in another vlog whats up lil brother miss you man
Narrator...and the moment Mike said the word "Dyno"...Damon with an excited, overjoyed, and slightly mischeavious look in his eyes...creamed his pants..and quickly thought..FINALLY YSOB! These..are the Days of DDE. 🤣
Yeah I got the chills when it kicked over. Cant wait to see this scream and in action. Congratulations guys, Mike & Tim need a there's name on it.
That was emotional for me as a fan.. The smile on (drift champion) Michael Essa's face was totally worth it.. Can't wait for more...
😭I can’t survive without watching DDE
Congratulations DDE team ...good Job Mr Mike Essa and Timmy
Mike working on mias car should be considered as cheating even if just an oil change Mike is being paid for outside of the build budget and so was the oil change, damon this is unfair for jason
Ugh. Do everyone a favor and shut up. Mike just Doing an inspection and oil change and you want to whine like a girl. I bet you’re a blast to be around…
I love the f12 videos especially with Mike and Tim you guys killed it
Congrats guys on the f12 Mike and Tim you guys absolutely killed it please don’t leave the channel 👊🏻
Mike,
Regarding the door panel on the pcar, check out Pedro’s Garage in Dallas. He has a perm solution. Buying a new panel will just lift again.
Sounds good. No discussion of oil mixed with water. That doesn't just happen and go away by itself.
Congrats guys, fun to see the first start, looking forward for the future of the car. Aswell looking forward to see mia's porsche future :D
