Love how they showed the colors in the intro before they uncovered the cars
I also like how they showed lo car's color a second time during hi car's reveal
was about say that
🤣🤣🤣🤣yes lol
@@Patrick.Howie. get on it brother! That would be awesome
@@Patrick.Howie. oh yeah the youtube comments expert editor
Love how this series really captures the reality of owning a subaru
Head gasket replacements and new engines: it's what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
Hi car is very representative of the young rich kid who drops bands on his wrx and it either explodes or crashes cause he wasn't a good enough driver.
Rod knock it’s what makes a Subaru a Subaru
My Forester is going strong at 380xxxmi
What gen?
it's funny how you unveiled Nolan's car before he actually unveiled it 😂 2:24
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed
Dude, look at 0:20
@@JessidGallardo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ffs 😂 I was about to say this
The unveiling was more for James and Nolan's reactions to each others cars, it wasn't for us, the slow shots of them posing with the cars are probably post unveiling.
Zach needs to be the host of all Donut episodes. He just has that stage presence.
Yeah he the main man and Jerry the first officer who always has his fingers in everything (in a good way). Then there is James just enjoying his (well deserved) fruits of his Labor
*Actual mechanic humour
If James keeps driving the WRX like that, next episode will be about comparing insurance premiums
They'll go back to running sponsorships for Zebra.
😂💀
Hahahaha😂
Just like that corner James hit, you nailed it.
I'm sure they are going to be using that Ebay Motors sponsorship to the max at this rate.
Someone should set up a engine counter for high car lol
For anyone who’s worked on a set, you know how much it sucks to find out last minute that you’ll be working through the weekend to try and keep up with schedule. Thank you Adam for keeping this season of Hi Lo alive
WHAT? YOU MEAN I HAVE TO GO RACE A CAR THAT ISNT MINE WITH MONEY THAT ISNT MINE ON THE WEEKEND???? Sounds like a good weekend to me.
@@PB8man more like WHAT? YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WRENCH ON A CAR THAT ISNT MINE THAT SOMEONE ELSE CRASHED THAT I GET VERY LITTLE BENEFIT OUT OF ON THE WEEKEND???? The issue isn't that he "had" to race them around a track, it's that he had to build the third WRX over the weekend just to keep the show on schedule
I just want to take a min to say that I really appreciate this channel. I know absolutely nothing about cars. Aside from putting gas in it, changing a tire, and how to drive I am lost when it comes to car things. What your channel makes me feel like is hanging out with a group of friends that can teach me stuff. I still have no idea how to do things but last night I learned how a turbo works and I got a couple laughs along the way. Y'all have something special and it carries a different vibe than I have found on any other channel. It is cool to watch, thank you!
👏🏼👏🏼Thats awesome! Welcome to being a "GearHead" !! I grew up with cars & hanging with Race car drivers, But I am always glad to hear that someone is getting into Cars. I recommend finding Local Car Shows, or a Cars & Coffee!
Dude can we get more jimmy? Everytime he shows up it’s usually the funniest shit I’ve ever seen
The fact that Jer came out to help film even when he wasn't scheduled is a testament to how awesome it must be to work at Donut. When you want to work. That says a lot.
You're crazy for comparing UA-cam to real work.
Who wouldn't want to spend a day with funny friends at a race track?
@@dreadedkitty980 So, you’re saying that simply because it’s UA-cam that it’s all kittens and unicorns? Ease up on the Kool-Aid, bud.
@@dreadedkitty980 its still a job. They get paid a salary and have to go work to make a video.
@@dreadedkitty980I personally work at a studio where just shoot youtube videos but the fact the he did this is absolutely insane. All the work and time behind the scenes is insane.
Its easy work for them. Its the editors and writers who hate their job
I don't know why but watching James do a promo shot right after the wreck was gold 😂😂😂
Gotta recoup the losses where you can.
On brand for sure, had me dyin'
instantly paid for the situation
Best episode yet. i wish you put the same pads on both, and left the brake test to comparison between the two kits.
I must say your production value is insanely high. I like the script, how it was shot and edited together. I really enjoyed the video from start to finish man!!! Keep up the great work guys! damn the WRX certainly has a place in my heart.
James: has had an actual heart attack
Also James: “bleeding these brakes is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me”
Legit heart attack, almost died. Just get a mityvac, guys 😅😅
Have you ever bled brakes? I understand James’ pain.
I’ve gone through full cardiac arrest, I’d much rather go through it again than bleed my VQ’s brakes
@@anusername8350 yeah I have and I definitely do too, especially with 4 calipers all the way around it gets pretty numbing😂
@@STLLSLW you guys aren’t pumping me up to bleed the brembos on my g🤣
Low car wrapped in low car blue is so sick. I'm so glad Nolan chose to keep the tradition going.
low car former wheels and former colour, man that was real trad!
Me too. That made me really happy.
I think it’s terrible ugly but I’m glad he did it
I can see I'm 1 in 400, but I say let the tradition die.
Back on top boys - so good having old Donut back! The ads were absolutely perfect too 👌🏽
Production and Editing quality of Donut is amazing.
Simple, Easy to follow and the placement of their ads is genius. Flows Everytime.
Love you guys at 🍩
Just wanna say that a lot of other groups would’ve bailed on the season due to something like that, the fact you guys decided to not just keep going but to go overtime to get back on schedule is respectable and very much appreciated you guys never fail to keep my love for cars up, Donut Media= 🐐
“Pumping these brakes are the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.” That right there is what they call foreshadowing.
But seriously I feel for James. Between his Instagram post and him saying he doesn’t feel qualified I can tell that was hard on him. Even if that had been the end of HiLow we would still love you James. You will always be qualified to us.
I mean, he does somehow not qualified as a professional driver! on the other hand is Nolan, who is a great one and getting better everyday.
James is a very good presenter, but not so much when it comes to driving, or wrenching on things, or basically anything that requires some extra brain cells 😂
What is James Instagram account?
I love you James!
When he said its the worst thing thats happened to me, I took it as referring to his heart attack and pumping the brakes was even worse than that.
James Pumphrey is Donut's Jeremy Clarkson, and we saw what happened when Clarkson left Top Gear. Nolan is the better driver, as Hammond is, and Jeremiah is the smarter one, as is May, but there's no fun without James, so he can wreck as many cars as he wants to.
This is why I love Donut, even when they break their stuff, they get the work done and DON'T STOP.
Love these guys
Guys, you definitely rock! Never give up role model! Congrats and thank you for this impressive work for entertaining us.
James Pumphrey who has had a *literal* heart attack says bleeding brakes is the worst thing to ever happen to him. 😂 Love these guys!
currently working on my '23 build....and brakes are what's holding me up. I now have to learn how to run new hard lines, because the flare nut is rusted on my current line.
From personal experience, after the first heart attack, you realize how many things are worse than one. 😂😭
I just don't understand why they haven't invested in a vacuum bleeder.
I hate bleeding brakes too
@@NaruSanavai they dont always work sadly
Jimmy out there putting his life on the line for the company 😂
Ikr, love Jimmy 😂
Again!!!
Jimmy- "I'm fightin' for my f****** life over here"
i love how they put jimmy on the spot - read the sponsor ad hahahha
It wasn't the same shot. You can see the hard lines around his body when the car passes behind him before it hits the dummy. It's 2 shots merged together with a simple rotoscope of Jimmy pasted over the shots of the cars stopping.
Was super worried for a moment there! Glad it’s not the end of the road for hi-low. Love this series
i just love these guys... 😂😂😂 every video feels like a virtual chill sesh with the boyz
The dedication to finish the episode and keep the season alive is phenomenal, I'm glad everyone was fine!
Nolan has grown the most out of this series I think, his lap times have been pretty damn good and he can wrench like the best now
I feel like it's really showcasing how it's not the car, it's the driver. He's been setting the best time in both cars consistently besides Adam.
@@Dirty_Dangle fr him and Adam been carrying
James might be the main character but true fans of the show I feel preferred Nolan he's intelligent he can wrench and he's a damn good hand at the wheel
@@joshuachandra6677 also the underdog
It really makes me happy to watch him progress.
I appreciate the humor, the camaraderie, and the suspense! For an accurate brake comparison, you really should have used the same pads on both brakes.
You all are amazing. Really had me in the first half, not gonna lie. Keep up the great work Donut!
Really scared the shit outta me when he made us think hi low was no more. Thanks for continuing, much love.
Zach got me...I actually felt an overwhelming sense of sadness at the idea that Hi Low was ending. Thanks for bringing me back!
Got me too!
same!!
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how far Nolan has came along driving wise? It's incredible
Love the dedication, great series!
I miss the part where James and Nolan sit down to discuss which one they would buy.
pretty sure at this point their conclusions might be to not buy a WRX 😂
Not a Subaru...that's the only correct answer.
x2
This is one of my fav episodes
This is one of the best and amazing series. It shows the various routes of life.
Nice
Wow
Great website
Good
I love this series so much
0:36 Hats off to the production team. Loved that "One Shot" intro. Robert Altman would be proud!
I LOVE the Jimmy crash tests, please keep putting him in harm's way for our entertainment
lmao
🤣🤣
New Hi-Low episode idea: Racing schools, James goes to the top of the line school with 1 on 1 coaching, Nolan goes to a budget group class or HPDE weekend.
Good idea!
This is a gold idea
I concur!👍
That is genuinely a good ass idea
But they aren't starting at the same baseline. Nolan currently spanks James at racing.
Gotta love the dedication of these guys
This series is truly everything that is exhilarating and exhausting about futzing with cars condensed into tasty little bites.
Keep up the great work, crew.
Lmao the fact that James plugged the zip ties right after crashing is hilarious
It’s awesome to see that they are still going to continue with the series after so many problems. Zack really convinced me when he said it was the end. An amazing actor, mechanic, and good looking guy. What can’t he do. Keep it up guys and can’t wait for the next one.
He even kinda reminds me of Paul Walker in the first Fast & Furious.
If there’s one thing that dount media has and that would be really good mechanics that don’t give up
Problems with what, the cars or the series?
@@rolandomontana1389 the cars specially
I'll tell you what he can't do; he can't be my boyfriend!!!
Jk he totally can
Gotta love how you guys keep this entertaining
best series on youtube. Just amazing
My heart dropped when he said "it might be the end of the line for HiLo". Thank you for keeping this series going, it is my favorite one to watch!
Same...they had me goin'
ok
Nice
I think they are really learning what it takes to own a Subaru 🤣
XD
From Money Pit in a driveway, to their own warehouse, merch and a production crew.
I've been a subscriber since 300k. I'm so proud to see where you have all ended up.
They just do lame cheap vs expensive and Amazon purchase videos. It’s kinda lame now
@@storminmormn6283 at least they can aford it.
@@storminmormn6283 good comedy and camradery though
300k you was late. I was watching when Ryan Tuerck and Chris Foresberg was hosting Donut Media
Same, happy for them. I do miss the bumper to bumper. 😢
You guys are amazing, thanks for never giving up
Man I love this episode especially the surprise new hi car part you guys are awesome and that never give up working on cars part made my day /night lol I work night shift ,love all you guys !! You guys are all hilarious at times keep up the awesome work !!

You guys are absolutely legendary for keeping this series alive. Subaru life ain't easy
The best parts in these videos is seeing the love between friends
A channel you can do without but its just so great to look at , thank you guys !!
I fucking love the fact that they’re showing the genuine issues that come with any build. All of these issues with Hi Car and having to scrap it and start over give this show the most realistic feel compared to other builds with their lollipops and perfection. Keep it up boys!
These issues only come with subie builds... lol
Yo, so much respect for building a 3rd car and multiple engines.. thanks for the hustle guys!
I absolutely adore how chill this video got about 3/4 in.
Such a nice episode!! Love how much work you put on the show! Please do a ride from US to Costa Rica one day as a challenge! Maybe 2 teams !
The sustained high G corners on this track are likely why you're going through engines. Time for a track-focused oil pan with proper baffling in it for both cars. That and doing the cylinder 4 cooling improvement mod since you're hot lapping all the time.
Seriously, these are 17 year old cars, base WRX's aren't STI's, and the weaknesses of the platform are extremely well know.
The lack of (on screen at least) reliability work is getting sad to watch.
Oil baffle to prevent starvation, cylinder 4 mod for improved cooling, clean (or replace) the fuel injectors and coil packs to avoid misfiring. Those are the big ones.
When they buy bigger turbos, they'll need Air Oil Separators.
I really hope Donut sees this thread.
The fact that they don’t know this really hurts their credibility for me.
@@DaksEdits what credibilityl, lol. They're a entertainment channel
Can't abuse it without support mods like it's a Honda.
When the camera flew off like that I thought high car rolled over and my heart sank… I’m so glad to see high car back. It’s gonna get those lap times soon! Adam his got the moves 🎉
Watching this series start to Finnish. Love you Nolan !
Really had me in the first half. I thought this series was ending 😂
the funniest part is that they reveal LoCar’s color before the cover comes off at 2:20 😂
The conversation at 16:40 when Jeremiah shows up was my favorite part
Shouldve raced those 2 unplanned in a video
“Floria man” 😭😭
Should’ve done a hi car low car with the F body Camaros and firebirds
This song never gets old even when the years past I love it
Another great video, I love it.
Thanks for posting
I'm glad James and Jeremiah was okay. If you can walk away from an accident as a car guy that's the best thing because it means more work and love for your car or new car.
woah what happened to them
@@finnojk Did you even watch the video?
@@DG_427 i dont get people that read comments before finishing the video knowing they can be spoiled 😂
Kinda hard to get injured when you’re on a closed track that’s all dirt and super flat lol
Of course im glad they are alright, but im not sure I agree with your last statement lol. Maybe if money wasn't a factor.
The style of this episode, with Jerimiah showing up randomly and that. This was the best episode of anything on donut. Not even because there was a wreck.
ok
ok
Everything about this video is excellent. The only problem with the comparison is that both brake kits should have used the exact same pads. Pads make a massive difference to brake fade and feel, so both brake kits need identical pads for an accurate comparison. My guess is that both brake kits would have performed close to identical on the brake fade test. The AP brakes are just lighter, stronger and better quality.
You guys kick ass. And do not disappoint!!!
This is the hi\lo-money pit collab we weren't expecting. 🤣
😂😂😂 Well said.
This is a different level of money pit lol. Maybe they should consider renaming to money void cuz of how deep it is now
If there was any reason for me not to buy a WRX, this series was it. N54 335i's are looking as reliable as K20 Civics right now in comparison 😂
@@sdaafasfad The problem is this generation and after. First gen, bug eye and blob eye have none of these problems, specially first gen.
I don't know what happened in Subaru but over the years, WRX and STI became less rally focused and more "civilian"...
Funniest comment 🤣 thank you sm
Donut - we take safety very seriously here
Also Donut - Cheap braaaaakes! 😃
And yet, the expensive car goes out of the track
The low brakes are definitely better than ur mom's Prius
Oof
@Dakshesh Gauba i mean tbh it shows not even 1 min in the vid pal :v
@@Lgs260495 Yeah, but James said multiple times that he is a newbie in this racing thing. So it's not surprising and everyone could be in his seat. It's easy to fly off a track without routine.
Love your videos!! Keep it up!!
Never give up, a line every Subie owner heard 🔥🔥
Fair play Nolan for introducing the Lo brakes name without giggling at the start
Really glad the guys are safe, and the absolute comittment to an ENTIRE additional car is insane, major props
totally agreed.
just have a question, is it possible that high car was insured somehow and insurance covered the money for damages?
is there even such insurance policy to cover for damages in track days?
Jer Bear rolling up to the track and starting with, "have you started yet?......can i help?" was a wholesome aF moment.
I really admire your sense of humor in general. Very professional and yet like an awsome blue collar mechanic.
As a Subaru WRX owner, this series is hella accurate. This is also proving why I don't track my WRX. It's much happier being driven off road like a rally car!
I thought track is safe on a car. Rally is hard.
@@nitroking3104 Agreed, OP's comment makes no sense.
@@flippy66 beat the piss out of my sti on dirt and as soon as I went to a track day I went home needing a short block lol
@@flippy66I’d assume it’s easier on the engine, because if you go full ham on power it’ll die for other reasons, for example a tree. But yeah it’s definitely harder on all the suspension and chassis stuff
The drivetrain is under significantly less stress on loose surfaces vs pavement. All the people confused about that should stop tryna be a UA-cam mechanic lmfao
LoCar's blue is actually so sick, i love love love how it's now basically a staple, it looks fantastic.
I'm also happy Lo-WRX inherited Lo-Z's wheels
Glad everyone was okay!! thanks Donut ;]
id honestly love to see the low team use stock calipers with upgraded pads and rotors maybe fluid. Thats the route most of us would go to on a budget
Even on a budget, I would never cheap out on brakes. But that doesn't mean I would spend thousands.
@@Vl0gWithAb what would u spend and what would u buy if you’re not spending thousands and not just purchasing brakes and rotors? Not being rude. I literally don’t know an option and would like to know if there is one.
Love how High Car has been a huge moneypit in this series. It's proving that a less expensive car can be in a better place to build, if you know what you're doing.
stuffing a car with every bit of cash isn't great for longevity, but you know what is? OUR SPONSOR RAID SHADOW LEGENDS. but also, rooting for low car this time around
@@dadams106 I’m always rooting for lo-car because I’m a cheap bastard🤣🤣 Although I thought Tein was a budget option for suspension😅
It's a money pit through their own fault not the failure of the car/parts.
@@kabob21 not really i mean, their engine blew on the first episode iirc
You can tell much of the second half of the video was unplanned, however, they still kept it entertaining and kept the same charm throughout. Handled it like professionals 👏👏
"You can tell much of the second half of the video was unplanned" really? what tipped you off? crashing high car, replacing high car with a new vehicle, or Job literally explaining that they built the car over the weekend and that most of the guys weren't available to film with the new car?
what a braindead comment.
u gonna meat ride them despite not knowing jack about content creation 😂

@@Ryuga117 1 mil views in 24 hours. Please sir, let us know how you would improve this video to achieve 30 hits in 2 years like yours do.
JIMMY NO!!!! 😂😂 Top quality comedy, love this 😂
I really like the series. I would say that in this test we only got half the story. I would have liked to see the fade comparison on the pads. Unless I missed it low car didn’t have the same pads which is huge. Those decide effective heat ranges. So one is good at hot laps but when cold has no bite. Daily driver pads tend to stay towards the colder side since they don’t brake back to back in any way like a track care does. The rotors are the same size which means the same surface area for contact and heat dissipation. The composition might decide how effective they are in the long run but not like the pads will. At least I can’t see a reason they wouldn’t. I’ve really wanted an AP kit even before the series and what I was told by them is their kits bread and butter is it’s rebuilding capability. It also doesn’t use rubber seals like stock brakes or for instance the sti brembos which melt under hot lap stress. I guess for this and future videos I’d like to see the same pad being used so we know it’s the other components shining not the pad qualities.
Also a stock ej255 isn’t a great race choice engine in my opinion. I’ve had much better luck with either built versions of ej255/257 or the 2L. They tend to take it better. I’ve had the same used 207 and 205 for race days for a couple years now.
Are these run on pump tunes only? E85 is especially nice for track days. Could have helped save the engines at least longer. Mitigate knock and detention events with high temps and high egts.
I know there was a lot of back lash on the series for the light it painted on Subarus. They are reliable but they have less “fuck around and find out” room as say a Honda which is more forgiving. The general support mods do wonders for longevity on these. Just takes time dealing with them to know. Still enjoy it. Think its a combination of things causing the many failures occurring.
James looked like he needed a hug after that crash, poor James. A car doesn't matter, as long as you are okay!
I love how you guys do the sponsors during the moment instead of breaking from the action
Well to be fair, it was lots of braking action
Clearly they've started doing this so that people are less likely to skip through that part of the video. Ingenious really.
@@zigmeisterful it is ingenious and I hate it, I just want to skip the ad lol
So glad yall went all in on this one!!!
Love you guys. Well done
This video made me happy because I got the feeling from recent videos that Jobe had lost his drive and seemed like kinda "what am I doing here" but after this one got back on track, damn, he is full of energy and on it like a pro. Missed ya bud, Donut wouldn't be donut without ya.
Jobe was 100% choking up at 15:35 - We all get attached to our projects, and you see it coming through there.
I think it was because for some reason donut stopped making actual car videos and kept doing reaction videos and thats not what Jobe signed up for when he applied for the job
@@reesemalcolm1808 I dunno man, I guess he is the only one who can answer tho
@@JCintheBCC yeah that moment seemed to me like that click I hadn't seen since that moneypit bmw
Legitimately going above and beyond for a series people love, for the heart of a community, it would be easy to call it quits and make an apology video. But easy isn't worth it. Never stop pulling boys
you do realize they are paid to makes these series by ebaymotors right? taking the sponsors money but failing to create content advertising it is not an option. You're sounding hella parasocial...creepy that you don't recognize people acting for the cameras in their content.
10:17 this feels like such an adhd mood. I feel your pain
Great series & great episode😎🔥, but for some odd reason can't stop picking up the subtle hints, hilarious🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the last 10 minutes of this video has to be some of the best, most heartfelt, funny media I have seen in a long long time. It's like top gear but for our generation. I was cheering when you pulled the green screen back to show another clapped out WRX. Legends, the ebay motors ad during the brake fade test was hysterical, so was the donut media merch bit next to the totalled old high car. Awesome awesome video, I can really see the progress you're all making with how well these are filmed, how funny some of the moments are, how genuine the connection between you all feels. This one is really really good guys, well done. Next payday I'm buying some fricking merch, hope it helps with however many more EJs you'll need.
Very well put
At this point, the Hi-Car WRX is a giant tax write-off for the whole Donut company 😂 keep up the dedication boys
LOL
Replacing a brake system is very rewarding I agree. First thing I learned to do after oil changes and brake pads when I was younger
You guys at @donutmedia need to make this series comparing brand new and used car experiences.
I knew you guys wouldn’t end it this is the best series on UA-cam the grind never ends
i just love how these guys can't stop won't stop this series. man this is why donut media really entertaining to watch
Never give up. Never stop wrenching. Even if it means you need to max out a couple credit cards.
14:59 lmao 🤣 the advertising!
Always wanted to go Jade Green on my hawkeye too. Love it!
