Hands down my favourite youtube channel right now! Doesn’t have much production budget and not doing anything crazy, just a great personality and diy skills!
Thank you for the shout out man 😁 I made a plywood splitter and lasted well over a year in UK weather and it got hit off alot of stuff. Definitely recommended to anyone if you want a cheap option that doesn't cost alot!
Spoolie ST got one on my astra lol broke to many plastic grp ones lol . im just waiting till it starts looking tatty then just replace it (free wood from work ) #win
BUILT I would think best bet would be to find a shop either going out of business or upgrading their mill. A decent Klutch mini Milling machine would run about $825 shipped on amazon. Which doesn’t the price of bits to do the specific jobs you want to do. It would definitely be an investment if you want to start making your own parts.
Bro this my first video watching, I absolutely enjoyed your humble sense of character, how you are with your kid. I had a terrible and you reminded me what matters, your passion and mostly family. God bless 🙏🏼 I have subscribed and hit the notification bell, looking forward to your next video.
to do a good quality diy slot, drill a hole at both ends first, when you feel the blade drop into the hole, quickly pull the grinder out. leaves round ends
Thank you for the covers on the bumper sections... with everything you have done to this car it all looks amazing, those have stuck out to me so much because everything else looks so finished. Great work as usual man, keep it up!!!
Not the best materials to make a splitter but I know it’s all about diy budget, either way it looks awesome man, I would recommend vinyl wrapped so it keeps humidity off of it
wow! my car's splitter and exhaust is insane! so dope. i was going to put an s4 exhaust on it too. you're doing so many things I planned to do! great minds think alike. s/o to the subscriber who helped our build!
when you are making slots for mounting stuff. just drill holes tight together and remove the material in between the holes with a cutoff wheel or a file, just make sure that the holes are alined and it will look super clean
I was JUST watching how to make these yesterday; all of them made out of an ABS plastic sheet. Glad to see you can make it out of plywood! *What thickness is the plywood??* P.S. Nice use of the Scotty Kilmer theme music 🤣👍😂
I have a suggestion for slotting your mounts. If you have access to a plasma cutter, that ought to give you a cleaner cut. If you can't get the rectangle in 4cuts (desired cut is too thin), you can just make vertical cuts moving over an eighth of an inch at a time.
I would have gone with fiber glass for weight purposes, but i feel the wood would (hehe) be much more sturdy. Good for you, man! Look at you doing your thing. So happy to watch people do this instead of drugs and wasting their lives away. Keep on keepin on! Edit: You're awesome, bro!
Great idea for those that can't afford ABS. Also, you could completely coat the wood with fiberglass resin and matting. Actually, this is how early fiberglass bodies were made (dune buggy bodies from the '70's). Running boards for vans were made this way too (fiberglass over a wood structure). By coating it with something it would last even longer and look even neater. ;)
@@BUILTOFFICIAL nice. I started with a chinese prusa i3 clone and moved up to a folgertech ft-5( pita to assemble) I've wanted to figure out a way to do 3d scanning for a while so I could scan body panels on my car and use that to digitally build a wide body kit off of. Then print in sections and fiberglass off of. The best part would be that you could easily mirror the parts on the pc and have both sides but only have to model one side. I know no one makes a wide body kit for my car so if I could do so and create a mold I could make pieces from it may be a money maker.
Also maybe a circular file to smooth out the slots. Like drill a hole. Cut with saw, file out the excess. I feel like that's the best way to make slots in your metal without some kind of special thing
Only tip coming from a fitter turner engineer would be be more careful and straighter with the angle grinder take your time and get the cuts evenly spaced by like 20 ml and then drill the ends to disconnect the inner piece. ( the part holding on the splitter )
@@RubMySchmeat yes my friend the pizza here is really good, unfortunately in our country it works only the gastronomy is the fashion. my personal project and I am inspired by people like him
Giving BUILT a honest opinion for this a4 project instead being a negative rude disrespectful keyboard warrior like some other idiots! Bud I see wat ur doing.. refining them personal every day mans mechanical DiY skills. the idea and wat ur doing is great man however i do think there are some areas where it cud do with a tad more refining and cleaner lines! But hey this is only ur 2nd build in YT so im sure as time progresses and more time spent you will become more solid with your level of workmanship. Mate im a fan and believer in what ur doing. Keep it up. Dont worry abt the rude hate comments those ppl are just trying to project and reflect a version of themselves! I wudnt bother and just keep doing wat ur doing.
Next time, use a math compass to trace the line of what ever you want to trace. For instance, the line of the front bumper. Saves u a bunch of time measuring and drawing 😊
@@BUILTOFFICIAL hands down my favourite snack while working on my car. I'd never have the cuts to cut thing and build stuff on the scale you do it. Way to take the plunge.
You could use a thinner wood. Then wrap it with actual carbon fiber have it clear coated and have a nice clean looking splitter that would last alot longer and be alot more rigid. The wood would be a great base to cover in carbon
BUILT hang off one side of bucket. Use a weight to hole metal on top and let the metal just fall to ground. Lifting on the piece (or 2 buckets and cutting in middle) will cause the weight to push into the blade and can pinch it and spit it out
Whilst I admire that you channeled your inner Nakai-san, part of me can't help but think why you didn't silicon/epoxy the gap before spraying the car. Same goes for those covers you made for the bumper. I have nothing but love for this channel, but please please please don't turn into the hack bullshit that is B is for Build. Car's looking fantastic so far.
You clearly care enough to be commenting on a comment that absolutely has no effect on your life whatsoever. 😂😂😂 Enjoy your XJ my dude. Those are cool. 🤘
This is the most underrated channel on youtube I swear

The best part is that he does it cheap, but doesn't look cheap
When's that widebody for your son's little car coming
Lmao I would love to see that. Might do as a project for my kids lil tikes
@@BloodbathEAMX-iOS this was a year ago he already did it haha
"Anybody want ice cream!!!!" I love this channel so much. The car is lookimg so clean 💪
Also the music in this is fire 🔥
you should spray it with raptor liner
only the bottom for durability
so not only does your son work on cars, but he cooks and buys icecream?! what a great little guy.
As far as the slots a decent Milling machine is the next thing to add to your garage with all the custom work you do. Definitely worth the investment.

Beautiful man it just keeps getting better and better I can’t wait to see the finished product
So impressed with what you did to that simple A4 bumper!
3D-printed parts for the audi? I can't wait
It’s been so long since I’ve watched your channel and wow your son is growing so fast
Some of this makes me cringe, and most of this makes me happy or laugh. So keep up the good work man!!!

Sweet remus, its gonna sounds mean and the splitter is a good touch!!
Cracked me up with that ever so suttle "subscribe" written on the metal u were cutting. 🤣🤣🤣👍

Your kiddo needs his own channel 🙂
Fits the car perfectly
I made a splitter out of 1/4" birch... It didn't survive the test drive.
Yeah, 1/4" is too light, but racecars have used plywood for years. 5/8 or 3/4 and it would be fine.
@@nakedbandit Dang, I used 3/8s and it survived a long time
I made one before, I loved it. Looks great man 👍👌
The livery is gonna look insane
I was JUST watching how to make these yesterday; all of them made out of an ABS plastic sheet. Glad to see you can make it out of plywood! *What thickness is the plywood??*
P.S. Nice use of the Scotty Kilmer theme music 🤣👍😂
I used 3/4 plywood for mine. You could get away with 5/8s as well
Adam Major Thank You!
Looks like u have a front lip can u plz link where u found it I have a 2003 Audi A6 c5 and I can’t find one anywhere !
this car has came such a long way it unbelievable i cant wait for that corolla build though😁
you can wait
@@GODMODE-e i cant😂 got a coupe version of that corolla im looking forward to it.
@@BUILTOFFICIAL heck yeah mine has a little 4ac 1.6 engine very fun lightweight toy haha
It looks incredible!!!
buy yourself a compass for moving the lines of a compound shape out....very useful for matching contours

Definitely! But you give me a lot of wisdom when it comes to me modding my B6 A4 Quattro !👍👍 Keep it up man!!
Sweet what kind of 3d printer do you have? I need to get mine up and going again. Had some ideas of something to make and send you.

Yellow headlight tint would look really dope

Where can I get the metal piece that you used to mount splitter
Those canards will chop legs off if your planning running folk over!! My sort of car! 😉 It's looking good bud.👍
Only tip coming from a fitter turner engineer would be be more careful and straighter with the angle grinder take your time and get the cuts evenly spaced by like 20 ml and then drill the ends to disconnect the inner piece.

This beast is looking awesome. Have always loved Audi Avants, but this widebody custom is beyond cool.
Awesome my friend,looks very very good,greetings from italy.
Gotta love Italy 🇮🇹 pizza is 👍🏻

166 Stance Projeckt built puts love into his cars
Nice job, maybe you should cover all the plywood with a thin layer of bondo, to protect it more from water and leave a nicer finish.
I noticed that you asked about making Straight cuts . Try out a Cutoff Wheel. They make clean cuts.
Yes to Icecream please 😀
Turned out WAY better than I thought it wood. That is all.
Curious what thickness material did you make the Canards out of ?
It looks great bud🤙 What kind of wheels are those? Edit: never mind, I finally saw a shot of the center cap forgestar f14:)
And I learn how to make my mirage more rice. Very nice 👌🏼
This is my plan on my fiero as well
Happy Easter bro
Love it proper at home job
7:30 can i have some ice-cream 🍦
Love it!
This front end makes me want to buy a a4/s4
Or rs4 ;D thats my dream ;)
looks legit
Dude I would legit pay you for your diy skills and creativeness too bad I'm on the other side of the globe
@@BUILTOFFICIAL I'm in Australia lmao where genuine stuff is more expensive then the car itself
Shell your mr2?
anyone know what kind of black paint to use on a splitter like this?

Defintiely gained a subscriber tonight haha that’s awesome 🫡
Try to do the front lip with plastic PVC dont cost much and its not very heavy!🤘🏻
@builtonyoutube hear it! It's true.
Also the wood will be bad with the water and humidity.
Ooh... Wood splitters... I got flashbacks from a certain Renault Avantime that caught fire.
You mean the convertible 😅😂
You know you started a new trend don't you. This time next year ALL wide-bodied station wagons are going to have a wooden front splitter!
Lol this has been a thing for a while now. It's used a lot on race cars
Love it 👍
Isn't water going to damage the wood??

damn bro, 75k subs already!!!!🤯
Late on the comments but you should try stitch drilling. It's a old fitter and machinist trick.
You could use a thinner wood. Then wrap it with actual carbon fiber have it clear coated and have a nice clean looking splitter that would last alot longer and be alot more rigid. The wood would be a great base to cover in carbon
"Very scientific"......put it on a shirt. Your welcome! lol
Love the built, love the channel
Do I need a front lip?
For the outline
Careful cutting metal and causing pinch point. When u cut the “subscribe” piece between 2 bucks. Can get kick back from grinder
BUILT hang off one side of bucket. Use a weight to hole metal on top and let the metal just fall to ground. Lifting on the piece (or 2 buckets and cutting in middle) will cause the weight to push into the blade and can pinch it and spit it out
What’s thst song playing around 17:45? I like it
What was that grunt when you picked up that sheet of plywood? Struggling a little bit? LOL
hey man, If you need your center LCD fixed up, LMK, I'd like to do something for you
I like the edit xD
This reminds me that splitter that Jeremy Clarkson made and it cought on fire
Lookin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩
Legit I watched all of your vids didn't realize you were local lol I'm in bham!!! Nice work keep it up
i guess we could call it a splinter...
I'll be going now
Hopefully this thing will never burn down. Cool tho.
Re malaka wood it's a little bit heavy, you should have used PVC plastic or aluminum.
aluminum...you want a giant blade to cut off peoples feet?
@@ryzencorp8182 oh that's right, but he could use plastic instead
That splitter worth $10000 in 2021

Take it on the track when its finnished
You should have a little more distance and more layers when spray painting
A splitter on top of splitter!? Don’t you already have the cupra style installed😂
you should paint it with linex
Just before I start watching this video, I want to point out how this idea went on Top Gear with their Renault Scenic, spoiler alert it caught fire
You should buy some rattle can rhino liner for your front splitter
