Mowers, corvettes, R2D2’s, bus’s, jibber jabber, mini boats, drag cars and bimmers. Well house projects and garage / shop tinkering.
I’m here for it all man! Keep it up! Greetings from Oregon.
I strongly 2nd this comment love from Australia
A little disappointed there has been no rx7 content tho
@@grantc.qncwhy Haha, once you're used to the car you will be like: Oh its that stupid timing that we forgot to add... or something like that. Not saying that I have experienced something like this but a flaw when doing and setting it up. It's ALWAYS something new when you break something which is why cars is my favorite hobby
Jose is awesome reminding you to have fun before every run every pit crew needs a Jose and Rauldo just an absolute dream team
Great seeing Josue and Rualdo out with you again. Some things just take a little time.
I Like have them around cause it is awkward to say "we" all the time when you're by yourself.
@@SuperRoutmanhe’s referring to us, the viewers.. he speaks as if we’re apart of the channel because we make all of this possible so no, it’s not awkward.
Did they fall out or something?
@@joshw2445nah I believe they’re close friends. Josue and Rualdo have their own shop Rice and Beans parts i believe.
@@joshw2445 As I understood Josue and Rualdo are too busy with their own shop at the moment.The fact that we have had so much ´Lawn and boat´ content since indicates to me that Taylor is waiting untill Josue is able to come back again to pick the car content back up.
I remember you buying a coolant vacuum fill kit, you need to start using it. It makes refills much easier and almost no need to bleed system of air bubbles.
Dude. I totally forgot I had that 🤦♂️ thanks for the reminder!!
I use mine at my shop all the time, it's a life saver. Especially for large cooling systems
This.
Excellent reminder!👌
I thought he did as well, but I couldn't remember for sure.🤙
One of the things we used to do in the offroad world was window screening over the radiator. Still gets plugged but its easy to peel off and swap out
The sound of that dogbox at high revs from inside the car is amazing!
I personally love the yard/trailer/Shop upgrades and stuff!!! I see people commenting about the driving, I’ll watch whatever you post! Been with you since the beginning! Can’t wait for the no prep stuff!!!!!
Drift content!!!!!! Yes!!!!
The Corvette returns!
Complaining about content is so wild to me, let the man upload what he enjoys and hence wants to upload. It’s not “your” channel. May not like it but I personally enjoy watching all of Taylor’s content even if it’s not something I wanna watch 🤷🏻♂️
If you wanna waste time watching videos you don't want to watch, you do you.
It amazes me how most of Taylor's viewers would rather watch the guy watch paint dry instead of anything car related. How his yardwork videos get the views they do, I'll never understand, Im sure there are far better content creators for the subject.
I started watching Tayor because of this car, not to watch the guy pull weeds.
@@mikehunt7857so you watch the car not the guy 🤷♂️
@@mikehunt7857 nobody asking you to watch no car stuff you wanna only watch car stuff okay… 1320,trc, cleetus, etc so many people lmao. I like Taylor’s content regardless because he make good content and good content deserves to be watched.
Don’t be a hater just don’t watch and quit complaining. Who’s stopping you from building a drift car and making videos oh right yourself because you’re here complaining about someone else’s life choices about their own things.
Absolutely can’t wait to watch you run doors at comps with that thing. You look more comfortable than ever in that car right now. Love the content brother😎
On the oval it doesn't seem like you need to e-break initiate just flick in with power
Loving the multitude of camera angles and seeing the vette out again! It’s such a menacing car.
Doubt you’ll see this but I’ve been here since you started the Cummins build. I watch all your content and love it all. You’ll never be able to please everyone but just keep doing what inspires you!
I love this car. Sooo so much hard work has been put into it. Thank you for documenting the build process
Drift content on my favorite boat and lawn care channel 🤣🤣🤣
So glad to see the Vette out again. I know the drifting videos don't always do as well, but they are greatly appreciated. Drifting is the main reason I'm here. I do however watch all your videos except the lawnmowing, I just can't do it. UA-cam seens funny about recommending your drift videos, more then other content creators. At least that's my experience. I follow a few drifters and their drifting videos show up, but yours I have to go to your channel to find them.
So happy to see the vette in action again. Has to be my favorite car in the fleet. Looking forward to the loft and rx7 builds
Flip and tip the radiator up level with the “trunk” line, even with the tops of quarter panel. Add a seal on the new top of the radiator, then a lexan piece fitted to bottom of the hatch can seal against the top of radiator when the hatch is closed forcing radiator to draw air from the rear window, simple fab, effective, out of the way when you open the hatch so serviceability remains, and it’s not an eye sore for camera shots from behind.
At the beginning of this video I was literally reminiscing ab Klutch Kickers videos/comps. Glad it’s coming back !!
Suggestion 1: Get an airlift or equvalent (I have the "OEM Tools" brand version, and am very happy with the quality. It exceeded expectations quite handily!)
Suggestion 2: get an anemometer, and get a baseline 'clean radiator' measurement, and start logging the flow every time you go out from there, then buid a maintenance schedule.
So pumped for the drift vid and to hear klutch kickers is coming back! Super awesome and I can’t wait to watch on UA-cam. Love seeing you compete
You’re always trying new techniques and figuring it out for yourself. I’ll speak for everyone when I say we enjoy hearing your thought process and ideas! Jibber jabber to the top Taylor
Taylor, so glad to see the vette at the track! I been waiting and hoping that you would go back to racing comps, the more serious stuff!
Hey man, you should add some dry break fittings to the radiator lines. It would make pulling it out to clean much easier and you wouldn’t need to drain it every time.
I was going to initially. Everything else is dry break. But it’s hard to find them that big.
@@Taylordrifts they don't really flow that well, do they?
The engine builder should be proud of his work its taking a beating
That vet is poetry in motion... ❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful 😍
Excited to see you driving can't wait for more build videos
About time!! Thanks Taylor this is the content I subscribed for. Car builds/drifting etc.
Bro you should get a vacuum fill tool for the cooling system. it legit makes it 10000x easier.
Viewer here since the Early Turbo Miata days, love all your content, whether it's home or drifting. Ignore the haters and just do what you like! I'm not often a viewer in the first few days of a video coming out, but I always watch every one of them.
So nice to see drift content again. Love all the videos from boating to lawn work lol. But glad to see some driving happening again!!
The vette still looks good! I can't wait to see you compete again!
I love seeing you whip this damn corvette man! Welcoming back the drift videos!
Nice to see the old boat anchor out and about. Maybe you can finally find some glory with that gold plated toy of yours.
I hope you see this Taylor. You need to get involved in the LZ invitational to show everyone just how good a driver you really are! Keep pushing brother! Sending love all the way from Scotland 🏴
Are we drifting again. Lately you have been reminding me to mow my yard. Get sideways brother
I first read it as “get sideways boomer” which would fit with the mowing comment.
You get what he puts out.
😂 lets be real.... if any of us could monetize our yard work we would all jump right on it. i dont blame him at all hahaha
The funny part is the video is doing far far worse than yard fixing videos. People gave me all sorts of grief about how I “haven’t been drifting” when in reality I have. I just don’t make videos on it unless it’s a special event. Finally decide to make a video on it. And as expected. It’s doing half the views of an average. Yard/shop/bus video.
@@Taylordrifts I like anything it doesn't matter you do what works for you and brings in the views.
Midpond is the perfect home for KK. So glad it's only 2hrs from home.
Great to hear Klutch Kickers is coming back, I know how much you loved running those comps.
Definitely reverse flow those fans from the rear window directly into the fans, so they can pull clean air through that back hatch area.
Just make a couple of tubes the size of the fan chambers and put a rubber boot on the end to press up against the window. Simple, easy, and you can still open the hatch for easy access.
The reverse flow should also push tire smoke and rubber down and away from the whole rear assembly (at least in theory).🤙
Love those transitions with no handbrake, so snappy!!
Love the drift content, can not wait for the no prep build and content
I was just thinking about when that’s gunna start up, it’s gunna be rowdy and I can’t wait 👌🏼
I love all of Taylor's content, but it's nice to see that amazing drift build get used again.
Man I miss seeing this car, glad to see it still ripping
That first lap with the cones out was beautiful
I can't wait to see you compete again! Very happy KK is coming back and hopefully it's as good, or even better than it was before
taylor, you can setup the dominator to log internally say every time you run the car or when you hit 55% tps etc you can trigger or just let it run the tape whenever you key on etc
I’ve tried a couple times and the option is greyed out. I’ll try to update everything and see if I can get it to work.
Taylor, Vacuum fill the cooling system, and then if your ever worried if still have an air pocket, while system is full, Apply pressure as in a pressure tester to help aid in pushing any air pocket past its highest point and out the bleed. Cheers buddy
Good vibes seeing the dudes back together on screen 🤙🏻
I’m here for whatever you put out brother. As much as I love all the other project video, it’s good to see you laying rubber down again
She sounds so good man! Some Jonathan Hurst type vibes with these turbos. I love it!!
KK coming back is huge.
Hope it’s as good as it once was. 🤙🏼
Awesome, I was just wondering about drifting on the last video. I missed Josue and Rualdo, too 🤘
Thank you for flicking hard everytime i took some of my best drifting pics
Taylor, I come from the dirt oval side of racing as well as drifting. In my dirt late model we regularly pull the radiator and use a pressure washer and spray through the fins of the radiator. We also use a rock screen and a thin mesh filter in front of the radiator to try limit the amount of dust/mud that gets to the radiator. With the way you have it mounted in the rear you could probably just leave it bolted in after pulling the shroud and spray it. I'd even try it after blowing it out with air like you did.
This car just brings a smile to my face every time you take it out god it sounds so good
Always love seeing the vette shred. Another banger buddy
Im glad to see the crew back together !
Im a huge fan of your channel, just not the actual drift stuff. I love watching you build the cars and stuff. At the end of the day, i enjoy the happiness's that the projects bring you. Keep doing you man people will 💩 talk no matter what you do. I am excited about the drag car build when you get to it.
Just bought my first vette immediately fell in love with it! Its is a C6 as well.
Great news! I have missed watching you compete in KK. As always enjoy the videos, take it easy .
hell ya on clutch kickers coming back. Cant wait
I want it to go back to the original track, that one was lit 🔥
Love to see the vette out again!! Saw your post on insta and immediately had to come give the new drifting video some love!!!
Outwear makes pre-screens for radiators that rubber bounces off of due to it being mesh and not being pulled tight. Also started using star washers behind all the grounds on my race cars and fingers crossed no more grounds coming lose
GOOD LORD the noises during the back half of the lap at 7:45. That was incredible. The reverberation off the trees
Vacuum filling cooling systems is a must.
I like the holes in the rear windshield because they provide the perfect flow for a smoke screen. I do think it is somewhat of an advantage.
22:00
Seat position is one of those little things that absolutely matters.
When you drive by feel and are truly in touch with what you're driving, anything that makes you comfortable, and allows you to use muscle memory, just keeps you that much more connected and in control.
I look forward to seeing you compete in the car.
💥💥💥Wonder if "Drift & Drive" would ever be a thing🤯🤯🤯
Stoked to see that lap with no handbrake!!! Do more!
I’m merely sim drifting but conquering side bite for decel is so satisfying in drift. And I think the judges like it too. I.e. Angle points in qualifying.
Loved watching the Vette out drifting again! Can’t wait for comps.
One of my fav UA-cam car builds of all time!! Let err rip!
when your shit so smooth you just reach up and start the data log mid skid love watching you on track you and that car are one the hard work and time you got into that car show best drift/builder on the net IMO
I love your channel. I know you don't like to clean your stuff. But geez man clean these beautiful cars. You've spent so much time and money. You owe it to the builds. Keep them pristine bro.
Great to see the Vette out stretching its legs, can't wait to see it in these up coming comps your gunna run it in
Hey Taylor, you could always make a “shaker screen” to catch all that rubber in front of your radiator and make a way to be able to remove it and shake the rubber out between rounds. we do it on our dirt cars so the radiators don’t get clogged full of mud
Keep up the good work! that new 360 cam is awesome!
If you need something to clean the radiator, I’m an ac guy in Sanford. I use condenser coil cleaner that foams and will push anything out. You just have to be sure to rinse it thoroughly. I mainly use it for mud truck stuff but it works great. I’m sure it’d take rubber off too
Such a good machine man you and that car are just perfect. Can’t wait for you and Adam to run soon that would be epic and maybe give a review on it I’d watch
Stocked to see the Vette ripping again and Can't wait to see you compete in some Comps again
Car stuff! Pumped to see the vette back out!
You’re doing awesome Taylor. 😊
Another stellar video. Excellent quality and of course sweet drifts
Taylor you have great and i mean great videos of the cars running that track. Super good video
make holes in the rear side windows and put a "big hose" or whatever its called and drag dem from the windom, thrugh firewall and into de radiator shroud. Since in drifting you are almost always sideways which makes it good for the naturial flow, also, make a shroud that has does holes for the hoses and put fans.
A lot of swedish drifting cars do this at least, and it helps cooling the car alot.
Taylor is no longer small budget builder anymore. $400 thermal camera just chillin no big deal, multiple $40k plus cars not including the corvette, property, or rv bus. I hope the humble beginnings don't fade. Really like that roots mindset he started with. Ya ya ya call me a pocket watcher who cares. It changes people's mindset when they don't have to worry about how much their next meal/car part costs and how long to budget for.
Yessss Gimme that sweet sweet comp vette content!!! plus kk coming back lfg. WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
Glad clutch kickers is coming back.
We always dig all the drift Vette videos
Don’t mind the haters Taylor, do what you love man! We’re here for it. Great video, awesome to see you shredding this thing again too
Midpond is close to me. Will come out if I’m not racing. Glade to see some more drifting.
So stoked to see the vette on track and sliding.
I know the drift content doesn’t perform as well but I truly enjoy it
So excited to see the vette doing some proper battles again!
Hell yeah clutch kickers comeing back awesome
Glad you are honing your skills. We all know you love the build process... we do as well. But, why build if you can't compete? We are here to watch you compete.... Please share that. You got this!
Use fly screen on the front of the rad as the 1st barrier for the rubber it works surprisingly well .
Klutch Kickers testing. Love to see it! Keen to see this thing at midpond 🎉
the camera view on car is sick. looks like a video game with the nice conditions
more roof cam next thats the best seeing the pivots
Love me the drifting videos! Watch them all, and love them all but drift days just hit!
I love all the content. But I am super excited to see what the rx7 has in store!
Ps- forget how rowdy the vette is lol things a monster
