    This car is coming along nice! I appreciate your efforts on such a unique project. I want to note your choke setup - I thought I was the only one who went down such a road. I put a 196cc electric start clone engine on a gokart project recently, and added a remote choke setup as well. I got the Honda kit meant for a gX160 and it fit like a glove. I then got a cable off Amazon, but I reckon it's the same one at a local auto part shop too. It's amazing how handy that remote choke is!!

Just some friendly advice from someone who already made that mistake. 🙂

    A little tip! The section under the car was a little blurry. You can fix this with a higher shutter speed. Usually this causes a slower video but you brought a light down there which is perfect. If you wanna reduce motion blur in the hand held sections, same applies. This should make the paused video look way better :)

    Watching your sub count increase by ~100 every time I started the next episode was almost as fun as binge watching this series!

    Omg please dont tell me these series are over. I've spent the last month and alot of money on beer watching these after work. I refused to benge watch because I wanted it to last lol. Your channel is one of the best on youtube. Great entertaining content. I even have my 13 year old son who wants to be an engineer watching it. I know I know a damn engineer he promised me he would make shit easier in the future though LMAO. Hahaha

      More videos are in the works right now. Expect the next one in a few days. I plan on do as many engine swaps as I can, hopefully someday I'll actually make some money doing this.
      Stay tuned!
