JP: "how bad is a nick in the brake line?"
Zach: Visible, visceral panic
Zach: "oh it's rubber coated"
JP: kalm
I laughed instantly when he said that.
i think you mean metalmouth
@Don't Read My Profile Photo spend all this time spamming multiple channels and still can't grow a following. Hold this L
Basically what went on inside my head when I did the same a few years ago... 😅
HiLow is definitely the best show on this channel, never miss an episode
Tool Party is up there for me
45 views and 30mins?
And 3.3 k likes
Facts
Same. Love from India
After last episode I was starting to think James was getting better mechanically and then he hacked apart the rear for no reason in this episode lmao I love it
I feel the same about myself sometimes... then I strip the top bolt on my new struts... shed a tear and order a new one to try again...
@@theaterlightman89 live and learn baby
yeah, i laughed my ass off, but thats the only way to learn, gotta eff up and know better later
@@heygek2769 I've rebuilt probably 30-40 subarus in my old part time job, we're talking engine rebuild with struts, brakes, radiators and trans if needed, basically a 180-200k mile refresh on the car... the issues always start when working on a personal vehicle
Insert “he just like me, fr” meme.
One week I’m a master mechanic, the next week, I’m stripping bolts and breaking tools.
I feel low car has bumped up to borderline medium car. Parts are no longer eBay off brands. Which explains why it is performing much better than previous seasons. Just goes to show there can definitely be a good compromise between quality and price.
tbh i like this more compared to when they did bottom of the barrel low car ebay stuff
They learned their lesson, can’t just buy the cheapest stuff when it comes to safety. Suspension definitely falls under safety.
I think its the best balance for the show. The attainable version vs the money is no option version. Super super cheap china parts wouldnt be a good car and arguably would be unsafe… it makes more sense on a lot of levels to feature quality for the money options.
"Budget" means the lowest but best quality part. Not the lowest cost and quality.
@@Elver_Galarga_jugo Yeah, they actually replaced their original suspension from the first season because they just didn't trust it. Really can't cheap out on stuff that might kill you if it breaks.
The passion, humor, cost, struggle and Ws, Ls, twists in the whole HiLow series makes it one of the best series in the entirety of UA-cam.
LS
Agree best car show ever
I'd upvote this but its at 420
specially the LSs
My man u read my mind and reported my thoughts
The best thing about Donut is that they always explain WHAT they are doing and WHY they are doing it. It's not only fun to watch, but also you can actually learn something in a really simple and visual way.
It's not like the subject matter is particularly difficult to grasp.. the technology is over a hundred years old which itself is based on scientific principles known to the world for a few hundred years
FACTS😁
@@hedonist2104 the age of the technology has no relevance to it's accessibility of understanding to the average person. the way it's presented does have an impact on its accessibility of understanding to the average person. what you are saying in the second sentence is complete non sequitur. there is no logical connection between the age of the technology and how easy it is to understand how it works.
@@hedonist2104 I mean yeah but the difficult part is translating that knowledge into something simple that everyone can understand. I've learned more with these guys in a few months than I've learned in my life.
hard agree as a novice car enthusiast. i wish I could do the mechanics part. 😭
The production value always amazes me on this channel.
The animations, the breakdowns, it makes it so much easier to understand.
Imagine being the guy to rear end donut while they're transporting Hi Car 😂
@laskin riubn why the hell are u writing this in a reply to a random person.
@@shoaiboof2588 because it's a bot that copied another comment made 7 days before it
I came here to say almost the exact same haha, especially if you had no idea who they were and then next thing you know your accident ends up on youtube for tons to see rip
But, that is super cool of Adam to help them out with another kit. The last thing you want to be dealing with on top of an accident is all the loss of what you just put into the car.
I definitely don’t envy them, nor their insurance company
Remember when we were still getting poorly lit James with cuts of Creedence Clearwater Revival inbetween during the 7 minute Up to Speeds? Absolutely mindblowing to see how fare Donut have come, amazing team with amazing work ethic
Fr gotta love all the content they put out
@Don't Read My Profile Photo OH no.
Remember when his face always looked like a plum
@Don't Read My Profile Photo didn’t ask tbh
Those were simpler times right there.
Like Jobe said. The transmissions being different causes it to drift different. There is a lot more than just wheels, steering kits, etc. That goes into a drift car. So far low car is the winner in this showdown.
low car in general in low key cooler/better than hi car (imo)
Just proves that if you don't have clearly defined goals and the process mapped out to achieve them then no amount of money thrown at something can achieve them.
@@roxyroller25 about the real question about "is more expensive mor better?" it would be "it is worth spend more money?", because as we saw Low Car looks and it seems awesome at stabilizing in donuts.
So yeah, sometimes money isn't the issue, sometimes about just few tunes even as simple and very cheaper
High car needs a rear gear change
Now I will say personally though regardless of transmissions and stuff like that just to get to the point of low versus High car is I have a good guaranteed that the high car will Outlast the low car in terms of quality of parts in longevity of parts for instance those upper and lower control arms are going to outlast Megan racing I can guarantee that lol
I love James and his single track mind 😂 “it doesn’t fit? Make it fit.”
Is James related to Jeremy Clarkson
6:57 once again, rubber saves a man a lot of money
I am so pumped for how…much better this season is going for locar? There’s no other way to put it! Engine swap has been kind to it, added equipment is providing killer results. I would drive that frankencar first I think! Would feel way less fiscally guilty about it, that’s for sure.
The beauty of lo-car, and other project/fun cars in a similar vein, is that you can run them at the edge and not worry about being spending thousands of dollars on repairs when something goes wrong, and that edge is a little closer compared to hi-car which means you're not getting in to fear territory. Kind of like how a 300cc motorcycle is way more fun to rip around on compared to a 1000cc street bike; sure the street bike has way more power and speed, but the edge of performance that's fun to drive at is way lower and safer for the 300cc bike.
It’s not been better to it’s looks. Poor things got a moose knuckle worse than a geriatric boomer wearing their khaki slacks too high.
@@Jonathan_Doe_ if would be cool if they turned that intake into a turbo
@@Jonathan_Doe_ only women care about that🥴. Men want speed and power first! Looks are further down the list. Especially if it's on a budget. The dude with the shit looking hoopty is just as if not more exciting to watch than the dude with the hyper car.
To be fair its because they want a drift car , unless you are going for a carrer with drifting , you dont really need alot of stuff other than some power and angle kit
Even angle kit you could skip but you would have to work harder to keep drifting
Not been disappointed with a single episode in this series! Keep it up
@Don't Read My Profile Photo I won't
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok we won’t
Agreed
Literally s tier.
I love the dynamic you guys have going on. None of that TV fake drama, shit talking and "sabotaging" each other like in so many such shows.
Just a group of guys that like each other and have fun, doing what they love! It's truly something special and I'm so pumped that big brands like K&N are sponsoring!
As a long time alignment tech shout out to Donut for always looking out for the Alignment tech by getting new front end parts as close to straight as possible.
It's so great to see all the automotive youtubers sticking together. Seeing shouts from Donut to AdamLZ and DriftHQ is exactly what builds the community stronger.
Yes! Would love to see some collab videos with Adam and Donut.
Someone tell alexy to watch this to comment on in his next video lol
@10:50, you can hear the pain in Zach's voice while he explains all of this while trying not to make James feel bad 🤣
Such a typical chief move.
James always jokes that he doesn't do anything, it might be for the best!
@@TexRobNC He did butcher the absolute hell out of that body panel 🤣
I mean let's be honest, James is all good for the fun and jokes, just don't let him do anything to the car because he absolutely sucks 🤣
@@vsm351 I'm sure he has some technical knowledge, all car guys do to an extent, but his abilities with an angle grinder are a bit abstract haha
I'd like to see a deep dive on the Donut team. How it started and how you guys all met would be interesting. The on camera chemistry you guys have is something a mainstream car-oriented TV show would kill for.
I actually learned a lot about what makes a drifting car so special in this episode!
So "steering angle"?
It’s an angle kit man. Not that impressive.
@@9k827 Because we know what it does, but it'd impress strangers to drifting.
@@9k827 My dude, clearly the guy is not that into drifting and therefore did not know about it before today. He just learned about it. No one is born knowing. Be more humble.
@@9k827 no need to be such a downer to someone clearly new to the idea of it.
Actually suprising how good (and un-crashed) low car is.
I think the elephant nose gives her aesthetic.
A tip I found is actually remove the tube or make it small to make the air filter stay outside, looking more "professional" than the elephant nose.
(Also make it more freely to take air)
You guys mean rino nose...
@@TermlessHGW you mean whale d-
@@disguisedcat1750 i unironically love the pipe. they were spot-on when they made that "embrace the Mad Max look" comment
NGL. I love how they placed the mechanic (Zach), with the comedian (James) on high car and then the everyman (Nolan) with the engineer (Jerry). These teams are so well thought out.
Go low car!!!!!!!
That guy's a comedian?
@@evsnova74 yes he also is in some movies. So is jerry
@@evsnova74 James pumphrey and jerimiah burton
@@Jacob-cg3zz weird, I thought comedians were funny. Nah but seriously I hate to be that guy but it blows my mind how popular this channel is. Yes I still watch some videos here and there but I'm getting physically shorter from cringing at James' jokes and fake crying
@@evsnova74 bro literally no one cares how you feel about the channel lol
@DonutMedia thanks for making the channel kinda educational for the average weekend gear head! Also just being fun to watch. Enjoy the complete crew/staff. Keep it up! Hopefully yall get to the level yall all wanted to reach.
I love how the goal shifted seamlessly from track cars to drift cars lol
Hey man track cars are just the first evolution of the drift car ;)
@@rynestone1379 yeaaaa
I think the Z is just more suited to drifting, imo at least, so it makes sense
@@kuza3991 you poor thing..
Oh my god, Lo-Car sounds so good! That exhaust really gives that truck motor a scream. It's so nice to see everyone enjoying the progress of both cars. This is such a great series to keep going.
I loved how Zach drove Hi-Car in the donuts, but Low-Car sounds so freakin' sweet and drives pretty badass in its own right
Who would've thought a Tomei would sound so damn amazing on a V8
@@TheRadiantAerynSun22 lo car sounds like a monster!
2:24 I can tell the editor is a Smash fan with that Bizzarro Flame
These series are just so fun to watch, not only i enjoy them but i have learnt so much about cars along the way! Bravo!
I'm only 3 minutes in, and I can HEAR how much effort went into just the editing of the video. The entire Donut team is killing it!
You guys should do a “high low” type challenge where you have a certain budget to mod a car and you have to decide where to cut costs to get the best overall car in the end
Aka hoonigans build and battle
yeah like a $10k vs $20k budget to build the best drift car or off-roader or something along those lines
For racing, just go with 315 squared slicks, arb's, and suspension and you're done lol
I love this season! I think having the first season of both the Z's and Taco's being long format was awesome but this upgrade series is awesome in the short format. Great job as always Donut!
I'm in the market for a 350/370z right now and I am so glad this series exists! Love the team and the show! You guys are making the best car content I have seen on any platform.
I love to progression of high-low. It started as "a fun daily driver that you can also take to the track". Now it's like "F it, these are race cars"
Natural progress of a project car
Actually drift car project as the offroad ones, and using 350z because easy to get parts for being more "recent" and still supported.
@@Sable.frc1 I was about to say that. Every project car without a clear purpose eventually becomes a "mostly street legal race car" more than a daily
Also, it just occurred to me that they completely avoided the "drama route" most of the car shows like this take. Like supposedly they are rivals and competing and trash talking each other etc. No, they're just bunch of friends doing what they love and that's great to watch
Except the times when James artificially spices up the smack talk every once in a while. He hadn't done it much this season though.
@@eurosonly I mean, it's clear when he's doing that he's doing purely as a joke, though. It's obvious he doesn't mean it
BEST part of this channel dude, they are all just car bros being bros, sure they riff on each other but its all outa love
You and someone above had the exact same thought, exact same words and all.
This is quality content right here. Love this channel. You guys are awesome! Keep pumping more hi -lo content! It’s great education!
I'm so happy this series is back, my favourite videos on your channel!
Dude, HiLow could easily be a TV show, like honestly. It's entertainment value is through the roof.
Really looking forward to the next episode (and maybe next season???)
Those tv people will ruin this show with their bs tho.
F**k tv
@@abezz377 fr probably shove in some fake forced drama or some shit into the show
Crazy deadlines for apparent reason is always used
@@mdviperx yep, that crash would’ve been blown way out of proportion
You guys complimenting each others cars is the real deal! I love watching Hi/Lo
I really appreciate this video going in depth about all the different adjustments of the drift settings
14:40 "nothing you can do about it" ... accept using good throttle management
The amount of attention to detail in these videos is incredible, I just noticed they synced up Nolan saying "run out of angle" with Zach saying it in the car at 16:23
Jeremiah counting the threads made my day you have no ideas how annoying it is when I have to do an alignment and they don't count the threads it just wastes so much time. Real mechanic stuff right there
Nolan laughing when he’s absolutely struggling is my experience working on cars. Laugh so I don’t cry. 😂
Low car all day every day! Impossible not to root for Nolan, he himself is rooting for team hi-car because he’s just such a nice guy. Sweetheart all around
I think the difference in the parts is how long they'll last. Since the 8k looks really reinforced while the 1.5k kit is meant to just do the job.
the 8k kit didn’t even last a car wreck it wasn’t directly involved in. if that’s what you think reinforced looks like, you’re fucked
@@misseselise3864 they mentioned it was strapped by the wheels, that's alot of force to take in that area.
@@misseselise3864 Not a lot of suspensions last a car wreck, directly involved or not. You'll see most race cars retire after a shunt due to terminal suspension damage, does that make them poorly constructed? No, but suspensions are not meant to take crashes
Tubular suspension parts have been used in cars since before you were born and will likely still be used after you perish from this life. Many of these parts were installed in the 80s and continue to be driven on today.
There's literally nothing wrong with them. They are usually lighter than many of the crazy fabrications people come up with as well.
@@misseselise3864 No part is gonna withstand a wreck...
Curious if the ‘daily driver’ part will be tested. Have James and Nolan have to use the cars as modified for a month as their personal vehicles.
lol hi car has no A/C and they live in los angeles that would be miserable.
But it's high car, they could have A/C if they went through the hassle. Apparently air-conditioning isn't what they wanted to spend their money on.
@@davidvaughn7778 Incorrect. Their current engine mounts took up the slot of the AC compressor, leading them to run without it.
They would both get $1000 tickets for the modified exhaust alone, these cars cannot be driven on California roads "legally" whereas if they were in another state like North Carolina, then they would be fine
@@MoparGuyaqhave you ever spent any time in California..? Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean you’re gonna get in trouble for it 100% of the time. You’d need an obnoxiously loud exhaust to get that kind of hassle (way louder than these cars). The laws are pretty concrete but the application of those laws is a vast grey area, I can tell you from experience.
Please make more of this!! I cant get enough of high/low
I wish there were steering angle kits for trucks especially for my truck when towing and parking
@donut please never change whoever edits these videos. They are super high quality and it makes it very enjoyable to keep watching!
James and Nolan starting the video looking smooth as babies and ending it looking like a couple of lumberjacks. Lol love this series
All the new hilow episodes are so happy and cheerful, its so so fun to watch
Everything you guys do is quality man, good informative videos good production. Good shit guys
Throttle control is the first thing to master when you want to get better at drifting.
Sick upgrades and they make drifting so much more fun!!!
Yessir 👍
James cutting the hole in the car was really funny. I love that guy.
I love that they show their mistakes. It's a real honest representation of how these jobs can go. And it's hilarious.
@@RyanRiopel Totally agree. Keeps me interested, and dammit if I don’t feel like I learn something every time I watch. Definitely wish I had their budget for high car! Hahaha
Loving this series! So glad you guys pulled down the pay wall.
Love the sound at the end !!
Now THIS is the episode I have been waiting for. Whenever you say "suspension", everyone instantly thinks of coilovers, but for me the real meat and potatoes is in the control arms and subframes. Lovely work, fellas.
Yes! This!
Hi-Low is eventually the best serie ever written by Donut Media. It combines all the stuff & expertise from the other series like Up To Speed, Bumper 2 Bumper, Wheelhouse and Money Pit.
Glad to see everyone working together on the project but what I like the most are the other team members who rarely have screen time pop up here and there in the video.
Hands down. Much effort has been invested in the project and the video montage.
Agreed Hi/Low is the best series ever!!! Never stop making these.
I keep waiting for them to let Aaron in one of these to truly break them in!😆
I'd pick low car 9 times out of 10. It's exactly as advertised; reliable street car that can be taken to drift events and won't punish you in either scenario.
Heavy on never miss an episode! You guys are big inspirations to me n my brother. 🙏🏽
Pretty cool seeing your videos hitting the top 50 trending on the reg. Keep it up, Donut Holes
Love the longer episodes, quality quantity of content. More is better in this sense for sure.
Love the new addition to the series but why is Aaron missing?
These videos are just getting better and better guys... Keept it up!
Hi-low is the best series in this channel, keep it coming! I absolutely love them
Love the “now THATS a lot of damage” at the hi-car suspension receipt
2:35 As soon as I saw free stickers as the box was opened I was 100% convinced that they're worth the $8k.
Hilow is by far my favorite show on youtube, ur spirit guys is just amazing, just love the show
Donut needs to have 100m subscribers. They are too good at everything. Teaching, learning, building & creating. In a non toxic environment it’s great to see. The car world needs more of that
I was scared that last week’s episode was going to be the only one this season
This is a pleasant surprise
I love this show so much! I hope that when they eventually finish it they try the next season with an easy to tune classic like a VW Bug or something.
They did season 2 with some tacomas, that'd be cool to come next
You gotta go watch season 1 and 2 first! This is season 3. Definitely watch the other two just as good
baja buggies would be sick!
Love the final analysis. The animation in this is great too
One of the best adverts I've seen in some time
Thanks for that guys. There's nothing worse than an advert that shouts at you with zero entertainment.
Great video too, just thought I'd comment on the particularly good advert. 👌🏼
I like how theres less ego and competition this time around and they are both psyched for eachother
5:20: mmm yes…the laugh of pain…all too familiar with that one
I love that this show is back!
I love the comparisons your teams do. Great teamwork. So the engine is low car and the suspension is also low car. But slightly different reasons. You are building race cars from production cars. That is very cool. Thank you.
Shout out to anyone that recognizes the ''EZ money'' sound bite at 2:23
loving the series my guys, keep em rolling baby!
We need more K&N level of sponsorships. They quality of video and parts are amazing.
Donut is the reason why I understand almost 80% of automotive stuff. They teach better than schools.
Great series guys! I have really been enjoying these.
I hope you'll be able to maybe continue them on the future with more sponsors. It's not just entertaining, but informative.
Cheers!
I absolutely love the sound of lo-car! It absolutely sounds like a beast!
this series is so good
13:49 "ira nomás"
i've been tuning in to this series and it was always worth the wait i dont think my youtube exp. will be as fun as it is if it wasnt for donut there's no day of the week that i dont check if theres a new video in this chanel keep up the good work guys much love from the philippines
I love how when James makes a mistake, it's not a big deal. You just fix it. That's how you're suppose to do it. If you fuck up, just fix it. Part of it.
6:38 if Mr. Humpty did that on the cheap car, he would receive a pat on the back, and cheered for adding some character to it... =D Hooray for K&N (a cheer to Ken Johnson and Norm Mcdonald for creating and growing their business since the 60's), back in 03 i had an Opel Astra with that DOHC 2.0 16v engine, with a K&N conical filter, a garage made cold air intake and venturi to the throttle body, a cat erase and 2.5" exhaust the Astra went from 128hp to 145hp, after ECU tuning, 168 wheel HP with 12% more torque. =D
lil mo angle LIL MO FUN 🤘🏻 awesome stuff guys
the pain in Zack eyes when he had to explain what he was repairing because of james is very relatible
Really nice job on this one. I loved the selection where low car was significantly less costly, but still used quality parts, not some no name ebay parts.
Lz clutching it up, absolute legend
I love this series
This show has genuinely got me into cars. Thanks Fellas, love your work!
You guys are such cool fun guys that work so well together. These shows are extremely entertaining to watch and extremely funny. Thank you for the great content and editing
I can't even drive but you guys are so fun to watch, you have great dynamics and explain things really well for those of us who just want to learn the mechanics and physics!
14:16 “Lesson learned, don’t strap your car down by the wheels” 14:28 “car arrives via trail, strapped down by the wheels”.. 😂
The builds donut media makes are so fire🔥 keep up the great work guys
I want to give some credit to the editors, you guys/gals are killing it!
