Matt - *car question*
"Well, you see our c--- BBBBBRRRWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA PPPSSHHHHHH
Hahahaha *am ded*
cheesin
Haha I was looking in comments just to find this!
Spot on!
Lol, his face when Matt gets on it. 8
*i always wanted a cappuccino with a hyabusa engine*
Might be a tight fit given the double size essentially
@@Neopulse00 It works, surprisingly. They are FAST, but I'd rather have a manual.
Just don't be a big/tall trying to fit into one. I literally couldn't get into the cockpit. The Daihatsu Copen surprised me though.
Same or a golf mk1
My $.02 on the ads:
I'd much rather listen to Matt describe a product he cares about /has a hand in producing, than a canned youtube advertisement.
Love the content!
John Thompson yeah well, you get both if you're not using an ad blocker or you're on mobile.
I think he needs to more adds on dairy or feminine hygiene products, or hygiene products in general. Perhaps something about a new super-absorbent sport-active yogurt.
Not sure if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother recently xD
@Nasir Kody Yea, been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself =)
No traction control and no abs, sounds like what makes me love my 89 mustang for being a bare bones performance car. This car is super dope, and I’d love to build one someday
I love the way they scream at each other
David Musil LOUD NOISES
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!
I hate how they fight.
Soon2Be Fulfilled Thanks, English isn't my native language

Matt that was the most uncomfortable you've ever looked driving a car lol. glad you still had fun
ImYoutubing247 he did look fairly uncomfortable in there
That clown car vibe.. think even the owner would hit there head if they went to the track.
wobbly sauce take the top off
Even I was uncomfortable! This one take made me sweat.
Watch the 4g63 DEATH FIERO
Matt, please consider doing more detailed shots of the engine bays, suspension setups, etc.
I love how people complain about a couple of seconds long ad but then they refuse to pay for content.
the only (ONLY) justification for complaining about an ad is if the subscriber already has youtube red. Having youtube red subscription means that the creator gets a cut for every video watched by that subscriber, regardless of ad time or placement. Even still, it's entirely skippable, only takes 10 seconds, and the stuff Matt is selling is usually pretty decent. It's not like regular youtube ads which can be incredibly obnoxious, have horrible volume leveling, and often can't be skipped - exactly why I have a red subscription.
I love when people say that as is if youtube was ever monetary based subscriptions.
I love how people are complaining about people complaining, but there are are like 2 people complaining.
I calculated it's about 33 Cents per day for RED, so whynot. Matts ads are fine, atleast it's not that MOFO infuriating loud "YOU NEED A WEBSITE" WIX commercial, or the retarded "real people" chevy ad (where they refuse to show the hot blond girl more than once)!
I have red. I just skip forward to the one minute mark and watch the video.
WTF is with all the hate on his ads? You get to watch quality entertainment for watching that ad suck it up...
Nothing comes for free^
sleepybird09 thanks ;)
nah the complaints on the ads are pretty legit. There is plenty of great content on UA-cam that doesn't try to force feed you ads every single video.
you should be able to click to watch whatever video you want without being deceived into watching or being sold random shit. You have to be able to recognize that and say no to it.
his work is being compensated by UA-cam through ad revenue, I don't block ads from this channel so i don't want to be subjected to even more ads when the first ads have finished. I just wanna watch car content, what's wrong with that?
"His work is being compensated by UA-cam through ad revenue". That's where you're wrong kiddo. UA-cam keeps paying less and less by the month so ads like these are way better.
People who use ad blockers is on a rise and that negates conventional monetization methods of youtube. So it is up to the content creator to supplement that lost revenue from people using ad blockers with unskippable ads put directly into their content. There is nothing wrong with it as long as it is a quality content creator such as TheSmokingTire is.
Really don't get why some people are getting so worked up about the ads. If you're not into what Matt's selling just ignore it, or jump forward, what's the big deal? Chill out people, ffs! I enjoy watching his videos, and if I have to watch the occasional ad, then who am I to complain.
For what it's worth, I bought one of the Vincero watches, it's nice to have a few different watches to mix things up.
Holy shit that blow-off valve sounds orgasmic.
Blow off valve and waste gate
Viewing Not wastegate, that's just the turbo inlet and blow off
Is it a blow-off or bypass valve?
Got some nice shades, a belt, dry balls, a resting spot for my balls, a vintage rolex, an affordable watch and now coffee.
What else do i need in life?
preparation h. it's coming.
you need an LS swapped mini cooper now
falagarius lmfao
アマ haha if that was possible that'd actually be a fuxking riot.
they would have to put the LS in the back though, even if it would fit in the front it just wouldn't make sense
I really loved the way the 818 hardtop looked from the first time I saw the kit more than a year ago, and I'm glad to finally see a real review of one.
As for the gas pedal in this...I wonder if it's drive by wire. I had to modify the gas pedal placement in my Fiesta ST so that I could heel-to-toe downshift it, but now it's great (just went to Hocking Hills this weekend and did a bunch of driving and hiking).
Matt always mentions heel toeing. I always laughed at the heel toe concept..... until I got a manual and started practicing heal toeing every day before/after work merging onto the highway.
I'm in love with the direct sound of the turbo. You just know the powers coming when you hear it.
thank you for reviewing this Matt! Always wanted to build this but wasn't sure. Super insightful. Really appreciate it
So people may give me cap for this, but watching these one-takes and seeing all the unique and odd builds people have done have made me decide I want to build my HHR. And when I do, I want to bring it out for Matt to drive
Did you do it yet?
I don't see how that could be a good build........ever. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong though.
What’s an HHR?
I've been wanting to do one of these with a EZ-30 6-cyl engine. It's been done.
Currently in progress of doing one:) just hardly getting started tho
Congrats to the owner on this build. I’ve got nothing but respect for car owners like this who take a massive goal and then actually turn it into a finished product.
Thanks Matt. You saved me from buying the kit thinking I'd get a decent car for under $20,000. If I am going to spend between $40-60k it won't be on a car that doesn't even have defrost. Keep the videos coming!
Always wanted to build one these, thanks for great one take Matt as usual.
that was a cool build man, John was a good host to our guest Matt
Love your honesty with people's cars which are their babies. You always manage your feedback with class and choose your words carefully.
I love this! And I like that you mix it up with the one takes and include some odd balls like this one!
if I lived in the stats I'd try that coffee just to support the channel. love the reviews Matt.
these one takes been good this season
Thanks Matt for that great review. I agree on all fronts as well. I actually built one of the first 818s that FFR put out and I did it electric with your pals Mike and Matt at EV West The car went to SEMA, Laguna Seca, and even Adams Motorsport park for some reviews and testing. Eventually it was sold to the city of Shanghai to kick off an electric sports car project that never got off the ground. As a package, the 818 is basically a big go kart with a gel coat body. Strap a decent motor to it and you've got a serious, solid-works designed car that can compete with a boxster for about 20-25K. While some would say, "Well, then why not just buy an old Boxter?" Two reasons: Building it is half the fun, and Porsche service can be pricey. :) The car itself tracks like a cat on a velcro floor though and I enjoyed my time with it. A fun project for any intermediate wrench with little to no fabrication.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch.....love this car. Great build
I NEEEED one of these in my life ....
This thing is a beast!
Sounds amazing! Great video
God I love the sounds from a nicely tuned Subaru!!!
Fantastic video. Nice to see Factory Five getting more exposure, they make some amazing kits.
Not sure the hate over a 30 sec add at the beginning - I don't mind waiting for quality content. Plus I love coffee
Honestly one of the best sounding cars ever don't even mind that loud ass induction. You are good at advertising and I can tell you actually do enjoy the product. These one takes are my lunch break favorites
Oddball One-Takes are the way to go! As a fan, these are the easiest to stay tuned with since they're so unique. Great episode!
Side note: WANT.
Hey Matt, just saw the piece about your Fox body in Automobile magazine, recognized it as yours before i even got to the part where they mention your name. Sick mustang.
Burt Sampson thanks! The photography for that piece was amazing
no, no one will sell me a GT350R for sticker so I've moved on.
+TheSmokingTire Your Fox would be fun with a Voodoo engine in it. 500+hp, NA, in a well sorted Fox body would be a beast on the back roads.
TheSmokingTire moved on...to shameless advertising and you don't have a real job. greedy fat pig.
No such thing as "extra money".
petal and steering wheel placement is on of those things you don't think to much of till it's off, then it's all you notice.
Lol . . . "petal"
garf117 do they smell like roses too?😝✌
Not everyone speaks engrish first ;)
Hey Matt, this is the first video I've ever been able to hear sick turbo noises like this on your channel great vid
The turbo seemed sized really well, it was always there and built boost fairly fast. Made some great noises and I'm not a boxer motor guy really, but the turbo kind of softened that drone I hear in them. Be a lot of fun to drive I'm sure.
The owner looked very nervous/car sick almost haha
riding passenger while someone is driving aggressive, will make most car sick
I have no idea how my lady tolerates riding with me but she has been doing it for fifty years. Including a Beetle on snow and a C-6 on the backroads of NH.
I have admired Fatory FIVE Racing for years. Great guys and great cars.
"nothing that can save you" LMAO
awesome video. perfect sound and great work done to build such artwork
I've loved the look of this kit ever since they corrected the headlights and added the hard top. That total invested price is out of control though. I was hoping it could be built reasonably for closer to $30k (painted). Plus, to me, it would be a track car so things like pedal placement for heel-toe'ing would be very important. Probably twin master cylinders and a brake bias adjustment.
Ads are what keeps the lights on around here, so if you like them purdy cars going "VROOOM" suck it up and listen about the GOD DAMNED coffee princess
Apart from the steering wheel it looks amazing for a kit car :) Does look a bit flimsy looking at the flopping bonnet.
I'd bet throwing some deadener on that fiberglass might help reduce the flexing, but it's also a track-toy kit-car, so I can also understand why it hasn't been done. Either way, the car looked incredibly solid.
For sure, great toy :)
That A pillar is super wide.
Keep in mind it's not a unibody, the panels are just cosmetic, laying over the frame and connected in a dozen or two spots.
The hood just needs a support added (I have an 818S, roadster) Mines only 240HP at the wheels and 1900 lbs 8lbs/hp at the wheels
This is one hell of a platform. I'm extremely intrigued by this car/company now.
Sounds awesome, whoosh from the turbo! Side note a dark roast plus a spiciness to it is always great.
For a car like this, I would have loved to see the owner do the driving with Matt riding shotgun. The car is probably dialed in to his preferences and driving style, so he can really show how it all comes together. Maybe he likes the pedal box the way it is!
Okay this is something I can consider. If it's good coffee why the hell not. I don't mind supporting Matt. One day he's gonna get recruited to a big show with a fat salary and we'll miss his amazing FREE UA-cam channel.
VirusTornado it's really really good coffee. If you know about coffee, this is Yergacheffe single origin.
TheSmokingTire oh shit its ethiopian, those are some of the best in the world..is it wet processed or dry processed
Ethiopian coffee is quite nice indeed. Click the link in the description for more details.
Have been hoping you would review one of these 818s.
Properly brilliant, little drivers car.
Thx for the great review.
now thats a build!!! it might not be perfect but so what. this guy had a vision and freaking built it. way more than i could say i have done on any of my cars. well done
The car looks like it's fun to drive and the motor sounds lovely. These guys appear to have done a good job of putting the car together but the ergonomics inside looks to be a little off and the hood looks like it is loose.
Hey Matt, tell me about that coffee you're always wearing. It looks dope.
This one time my cup of coffee tasted like shit and it turned out I was drinking some fat bastards stool sample.
Khu NoPie Fresh reference, bruh.
this coffee tastes like shit Basil.
Are they "limited edition" beans? I need some for when I'm rockin the limited edition t-shirt he sold me.
Lee Stewart Fuck off lahey
This car looks really cool and you could see how fast it really is! Its also great to see an owner so proud of his work and NOT annoying at the same time, thank you for that!
I love the color and would love to see a pair of matte satin dark blue racing stripes on it but that's just me =========
that's crazy... for some reason I was looking at factory five cars today at work and was gonna suggest you drive one and here we are...
This is what the Subaru Impreza Type-R should have been like!
Type-R Subaru?
I like that Senna poster in the back.
Martin Dixon Senna is a god
Yesssss finally a factory five I desperately want to build one some day!!!
I LOVE the turbo sound.
how to sell Coffee to car enthusiasts , put a picture of a car on the box , yeah, ok buddy your not fooling us !!! hahahahaha...
Built not bought, literally 😂
Seems like he spent a good chunk of change having other people sort out his build.
Love the sound of this car!
Matt I love your show because you bring some of the coolest cars on UA-cam
Actually I need some coffee right now.
If it means quality content keeps coming, I can live with an ad at the beginning - no biggie.
For a kit car, would rather get a Hawk HF with an Alfa Romeo GTA 3.7 V6. More power, much better sound, better looks no question. But hey the Factor 5 is a cool car that is unique for sure. Must be an absolute weapon on the track.
Really cool. I have always been interested in this kit.
FACTORY FIVE HAS A REAL WINNER HERE... this should keep them i n business so they can keep making all the other cars that may in the future loose some popularity...but they should always be available great job FF
Wonder if an ez30 would fit? Since it's so light id take the hp hit for some 7000rpm h6 porsche ish noise
Saw a video on one being dyno tested. Guy said he didn't have to change much. Guess if it fits the ej turbos, it fits the ez's
@@hughjassstudios9688 Ez is a couple inches longer than an ej25. In my wagon it is literally 1 inch from the radiator. It is very crammed in.
I've been waiting for Matt to review one of these, super dope. I always thought at $15k, they'd be a good alternative to an Exocet or something, but hearing that he's paying Cayman prices for a really good one with awkward ergonomics makes this a hard sell. 718's start at $55k and M2's start at $52k. "40 to 65" sounds nuts to me, especially considering that you have to build and tune it yourself, but I also get that that's part of the appeal to a lot of buyers.
Seems like you could get 14-15" brakes, a procharged EZ30 engine w/6 speed manual, roll cage, custom pedal box, steering column, and instrument panel, as well as the interior and 818R suspension, chassis, and aero kit from FF for $60k including the donor car and fresh paint. This could be a competitive alternative to something like a Lotus Evora. With 10k in the wheels and tires as well as everything else these cars would outpace a car 2-3x as expensive. At least on paper.
i agree, nuts indeed
I love everyone complaining about those complaining about the ads. Just enjoy the content. Oh and if you like the content, just watch the damn ad so these videos are still worth it to Matt.
Car sounds like a Diesel-Electric Locomotive at Idle, I love it. Awesome!
subaru needs to make a mid engine awd car.
You had me until AWD. I'm hoping Honda makes a lower budget version of the new NSX that is not hybrid and rear wheel drive and sold as a Honda.
Bryant Harris So an S200?
Sam Wilson well the s2000 is front (or front-mid) and rear mid is much different than front
Matt looked like he was really driving on this one.
as in, he had all his attention on the road and how he was maneuvering the car.
At that weight and horsepower this is in hyper car territory. No power anything and no nannies in hyper car is beyond dangerous. Even the stock wrx engine pushed out super car performance.
@@u13erfitz lotus' don't have driver assists either, that's what makes them great cars, you can communicate purely with the car and road
Looks and sounds beautiful. I love it
Love the turbo sound!
I'm curious about the car, but I also want you to shut up so I can hear all the turbo noises. Was the color mentioned? Car looks great.
Dr. Nefario looks like nardo gray
I like coffee. Is it real coffee or instant shit. And do they ship to the UK. On another note I love kit cars, they are just the best no compromises.
finally someone not complaining that there is an add before the video. thumbs up to you.
No thanks just normal ground roasted coffee is best, it's more versatile.
Sure, I could get freeze dried crystals but I don't like the taste of crusty ass rim in the morning.
Kuddlesworth NA this is whole bean small batch roast stuff. You have to grind it for yourself. This is the highest end coffee available on the market, on par with Groundwork, Angel City, Blue Bottle, that kind of stuff. pricey but worth it. Not sure on UK Shipping sorry
As an avid coffee drinker myself, I fully endorse your ad, and completely understand the importance of quality coffee beans. Nothing like fresh ground coffee in the morning to get you going
I really liked this. Very cool, looks nice.
That turbo spool sounds insane😍
Smoking Tire needs to be on Top Gear UK!!!!
The HRE XKR NOOOOOO
why pollute perfectly good content with tired, pc, mainstream television that has zero character and no soul
The HRE XKR top gear UK is already good. But top gear USA is where this guy belongs
TYPE 65 COUPE ONE TAKE WHEN
Really good job on this car love it...
Awesome car and awesome video. I'm a big fan of the FF818 and this was great to see on the smoking tire
for 16k, im with it. but 40-60k to run it into this is dissappointing. I say skip paint and put money into an Sti motor for it with 6 speed and everything. Cool car though
40 - 60 is hardly disappointing -- this isn't a street car, it's a street capable track day car that could easily hang with or outrun a Porsche 911 Turbo S. Hell, with the larger rear spoiler and canards, it could probably outrun a 911 GT3. Tell me literally any other car in the 40k - 60k price range that could get anywhere close to that.
Just get a wrap for it
Sell me a pre built one for 25k and you got a sale
I just finished an exocet and looking at the 818. Car doesn't look registered. Needs a wiper. Probably not considered a 60's replica, so all current BAR stuff (emissions) must be kept. Complicates the process. (Exocet is registered as a 1960 Lotus 7). Much more "normal car" than mine. Also 4x the cost. Fantastic build though. Building your own car is a great experience, Cost is not the point. It's about the challenge and satisfaction. The kit looks very complete and I'm sure was a blast to build. Awesome job!!!!
I built my 818S with 240 RWHP for just over $20K, includes oak veneer interior, custom shifter w bellcrank, custome hood and engine louvers, aluminum trunk, heated leather Recaros, custom wiper, aluminum inner fenders, CF mirrors, aero side pieces, splitter, diffuser and trunk spoiler, padded vinyl interior. 8lbs/RWHP
It sounds fantastic!!!!
So how do coffee beans get roasted? By making fun of their sense of style and taste! 😂
Get out
Yes, you invite Jeff Ross over, and he gets it done.
wouldn't be my first choice in engine to build around, but to each their own.
So shit they use it in all their vehicles, and Toyota even uses it in their FRS...
Dalton v the frs/brz uses a different engine. The EJ is a good engine, it's just a little bit of a money pit once pass 350-400whp.
It uses a different engine the same way the Hyundai Genesis Coupe doesn't use a Mitsu 4G
+Art Vandelay If you want to see that check out the channel "Boostedboiz" They have a boosted h22 in a ek9 hatch body and a few boosted wago's that's not running at the moment and recently he put a k20a in a mr2 that is about to get boosted.
When they first announced it I was thinking the same thing. I think they chose it for the transmission's ability to act as a trans-axle not for the engine itself. It's so light if they had used a normal FWD drivetrane the weight would be pretty far back. Also, there aren't very many afforidble FWD turbo engine/trans combos out there.
I would've picked the turbo 4 out of the PT Cruiser / SRT-4 my self, or any of the FWD DSM's.
Hey Matt thanks for the Vincero plug a few weeks ago...had been looking to get my brother a nice watch and they have a great look, great price and great reviews...ordered it yesterday!
I've been waiting like a week for you to post this damn video!!!!!
I want one! 😍
new project
Same
Its too bad Factory Five didn't build this car with the ability to have the newer all wheel drive system, 6 speed gearbox and engine in it.
That would all have added to the price. Also it would add weight and also remove part of the idea of a mid engine club racer car. The idea of this is to be close to the original Porsche 914-6, a car YOU drive, not one that takes a lot of the control away with tech. As for the 6 speed, likely it's not hard to put in if you have one. This is a sub 2000 pound car, it doesn't need 400+ HP and a bunch of other crap, it's made as a raw driver.
The guy did a great Job on the build, really cool
that sound is amazing
I'm Only Here For The Advertisement!😉
$65k for a kit car strikes me as a lot of cash.
Maxwelhse
Right. Buys a very nice Cayman or 911...
Hits himself in the head and says ...Wow, I could have had a V8, I mean a GT350.
Or 13 "Leroy" C5s...
john smith a GT350 is nowhere near as quick as this car is.
+1710 Glob Squad I'd be willing to bet a 350R is actually quicker around a racetrack. Still a cool car though.
Matt’s laugh at 5:00 is all I needed to know
I am so jealous and the car sounds just awesome.
