Mickey is the kind of guy that I would love to learn from over a summer. He does things that most people would over look and all his builds are so clean because of it.
#mickyspec
Exactly, couldnt have said it any better myself
agreed!
Dude I completely agree would be a real treat to learn from him.
You can tell by how much TJ has changed since Mickey came into his life too. He's been way slower and more meticulous with his builds.
Daaaammm the click bait
robsrx7 ira He said it's ready to start. Not it is being started.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@callum Nugent ....cut the"n" n thats exactly what ur ...a big ass "NUGET"
Too much talking not enough work happening
"ltlle arse licking muppet"....wtf?
Mickey is the right guy that sits in front of the camera and explains everything that you need to know for an installation.I like that bro keep the hard work and I hope everything goes all right and the car can turn on perfectly
Wiring the battery cable next to the fuel lines... SMART... REALLY SMART!!
battery wires right next to your fuel lines. so if it goes wrong, goes really wrong
nahuel luna I think this is how Han dies in Tokyo drift
Full send 😂
Look at the smile on his face he knows it works already but tbh its a clever way to get people back i know ill be back tomorrow to hear it crank over
Mick, was watching some old videos of Mad Mike and was stoked to see you and Dan B. working on Mike's drift team. I'm sure some wild stories could be told. The friendships and experiences that come from something like that are priceless..
Power lines running the down the same path as the fuel lines under the car, yikes!
Matt Greenland aslong as its fused & protected aswell as secured should be fine ! FACTORY does this on alot of vehicles!
I could name 10 factory cars that do the same thing it's clean and safe way to do it..
GixxerDad 600 what cars have them from factory?
Yeah sounds like a bad idea. I usually run my cables through the car, it's a lot more work. But just think if you hit something and puncture the lines. The positive cable will spark if it grounds
It’s done that way from the factory in most BMWs with a rear mounted battery (a lot of them, M Cars too) so is completely safe with a 2 gauge wire that’s fused.
every time see the color of the rx-7 i fall in love even more, i know it is in bad shape but is just looks so good!
I Love Watching Mick He Has All The Knowledge I Love To Have His Support On A Build
I love that mickey actually shows how to do things and I actually learn rather than just seeing the install, im looking to relocate my battery and this was really helpful :)
Mickey’s how to’s are super well done and very informative. More vids like this will help many car enthusiasts
That tip regarding the flush cutters.. %100 best tool youll ever buy!! anyone whos cut there hand on the sharp left over bit of a zip tie knows..
Mickey as a mechanic = A1, Mickey doing videos = philosophy class in college
Would like to see Mickey do a tour of his tool box!
Mickey is one of the most amazing and smart mechanics I know. Maybe the best haha Goodluck for that first start!
The automotive wire is weave is different and is corrosion/weather resistant which is why it costs more than welding wire. Its worth the extra IMO.
bro if 1 of those wires burn it will make the gas line explode!!!
ITS H0Vi Baby! And he skipped the starter fuse+ shitload of zip ties🤔 but he’s redoing the car eventually
Why would that wire burn ? He's not dumb to wire something wrong.... and if that wire burn the whole car will be on fire anyway
Mickey is full of knowledge ! And he is not selfish to share one 🔥🤙🏻
I absolutely love these videos, I wanna see a Jimmy Oaks X Micky collaboration!!!!!!!!!
I’d love to meet the whole crew. To have a chance to do that would be surreal. I’ve been watching tj since 50k and all the people he brings around have grown on like family.
I weld for a living got super excited when I saw the wire haha! I’m loving the rx videos man.
“Yes, I am keeping the pop ups” good man
Learning new things about cars is so humbling.
couldn't have been happier to hear you are keeping the pop ups
throtl amazing work on the FD, it's great to see it back alive!!
You should run a positive terminal under the hood to be able to jump start the car without having to go in the car with cables
"Yes i keep the pop ups" never been prouder than i am now. Imo yes they look cool with normal headlights but really...Pop up headlights is 100% better it is in the nature of the rx7!
Is it weird I’m more excited to see your FD rolling around then TJs FD?? I think not lol keep up the great work man. We will meet one day.
Just finished the episode and i love the RX7 FD for a number or reasons and seeing Micky go step by step on repairing his is the best set of videos I could ask for.
Mickey what happend to your bmw widebody wagon? maybe i missed it but i kinda miss that beauty. dont get me wrong the RX-7 is dope.
"TJ's undercarriage is much cleaner than mine."
-Mickey Andrade, 2018
nice meme
shower more lmao :-)
Man I fucking love mick so much. He’s just a loveable guy
This is what I like about throttle they show you how to do things and explain the process, other people just show what they got
Mickey your threads ar so dope and propping up tj...is amazing...1 mech backing another up keeps car culture alive
Good luck with the big start up! Fingers crossed 🤞
Mickey, FD Video = Instant Like.
I have a ziptie gun, it tightens them, if they are tight enough it's snaps them off totally flush. This thing is awesome, it tightens the ziptie to the max, ore you can adjust the tightness. I love it it's right around 30 bucks
YESSSS Mickey, your FD is getting ready. Sick man
Glad you are keeping the pop ups......very iconic look.
LRB Speed makes a battery mounting bracket specifically for the storage bins. So, you didn't have to drill holes and use J bolts.
Keeping the pop ups alive, yes!
Welding cable also makes good homemade jumper cables if you ever need to jump start a car
Finally a Rx-7 video,I'm happy
That throtl dude
Jimmy Oakes?
David Liberal yep
Jimmy lmaooooo
Mickey's alias
Paused halfway through the video just to say, this better not end with a cliff hanger lol
a couple things you should know battery wire against fuel lines not the greatest idea and when battery is charging it puts off gases and needs to be vented outside keep playing that's the way to go
OH YISS MICKEY IS KEEPING THE POP UPS
Micky dose some quality content I actually really like it
Mickey.. where’s the circuit breaker installation or fuse off the battery, don’t skip the safety cos people are going to follow what you did here and miss crucial safety points on their own car.
For anyone who doesn’t know, if you do not use a circuit breaker or fuse off the new battery location and any part of the earthed body pierces through that power cable it’s gonna glow red hot and burn anything along the line.. including those fuel lines....and the rest of the car.
Great work tho.
Should put one of those batteries made for interiors. AGM or something like that. Regular ones release gases you don't want in your car.
How do you guys not have more subs......love the channel and content! You guys are awesome! Can't wait to see mickeys FD start!
With that much amperage and line it might be worth thinking about putting a large fuse right off the battery terminal. Also I'm kinda surprised you didn't address battery off gassing. Most batterys mounted inside have blow down tubes to allow the battery gassed to vacate the cab.
Love the build so far man. Very interesting and detailed videos. Mickey spec all the way son!
Mick is the man. FD zoom zoom. Pop up head lights respect in the Rotary community 👌.
Yo yo I want a sticker that says Mickey spec haha
The reason you use automotive cable in cars is because the insulation melts at higher temps,is low smoke and no toxic, well it is in Europe.
Lmao i saw the title n i was like “ woooeee URR LYINNGGGG” everyone at work just stared me down. I work at a cardiologist office 😂🤙🏽 MICKEY SPEC
Instead of buying EXPENSIVE Zip Tie cutters just use Toe nail clippers they cut super flush and you can get em dirt CHEAP.
Us welders already knew about this! Its ment to resist against heat so you shouldn't have any problems!
Still really like the way those wheel look on the car and the colour gets better every time i see it ,
All Hail the Pop up head light !
That intro beat is fire
Mickeys exterior with tj hunts engine would be the best rx7
It’s ready to start! Just not anytime this month! 😂 😂
I have never been so excited for a new UA-cam video. Keep making new project build videos guys!!
Respect for keeping the pop ups bro
That FD is sick as Fuck bro, every time i see it, it calls me
You're so enthusiastic about this car my guy
I just can’t wait to hear it start!!! 😍😍😍
Growing up in the drag racing scene, everyone always said never run a power wire with a fuel line. If there’s is any mishap... boom. Looks clean though
I didn't see or hear anything about it but i sure hope you gonna put a fuse on that positive wire by the battery?
A 2 gauge wire that long unfused is a serious accident waiting to happen.
So pumped to hear that beast start up! #impatient lol
I did the battery the same way on my fb rx7 easy and simple to do
I think you will find the Outer sheathing on the cable you have used is better than Car wire.
Hell yeah I love the pop up head lights.
Thank God ur keeping the pop ups good man micky.
Making me want a FD great job guys very inspiring
Love watching Mickey fix things on his FD
Holy crap running the power cable along fuel line is not a great idea!
i really wanted to see more film on the battery! you're a genius... at first i thought how the heck is he going to have access to the battery haha
I love the experience you're sharing with us... I'd never get the opportunity to do this so thank you.
I cant waitttttt. So pumped for you to start that mama jama up
Go direct to the starter then you don't have a long ass cable into your bay and it makes it look nicer.
from that angle, those wheels and the blue tape for sec I thought I was looking at Trans Am but then the exhaust tip was rice
thank god youre keeping the popups
Micky vlogs for the win !!
Nice man - i install car audio - i usually use marine GRADE dual wall lined HEATSHRINK & flex wrap & tessa tape in the engine bay & outside & tessa heat tape where needed... i use tessa fabric tape inside aswell it is alil heatproof but tessa heat tape for engine bay for sure!
I missed my old RX7 1990s my teenage year .I wreak it at long beach while I race with other car...
A man! Clickbait! I thought you were going to start it! 😢
Tomorrow’s video!
throtl i know! Im just so damn impatient! The wrx and rx7 are both great though guys! Keep up the good work, all of you! I 👍
Without trolling I’d just like to say that Most of their videos are click bait. Which is why I’ve stopped watching most of their videos
thats not clickbait, its ready to start. which is true.
"Ready to start"
Good stuff brother! Can't wait to see it start up.
I have been subscribed for almost two months or so. The first video I seen was the day you bought the red RX-7 and I've been following ever since. I'm hooked on the series your making, and I am really picky about who I subscribe to. I rarely turn notifications in but I literally can't wait to see what's next on the RX-7. Channel is awesome, you guys are awesome and I really enjoy the videos. I'm about to go check out the site. Keep it up fellas
Man I tell you I’ve only recently subscribed to this channel but I’ve been “patiently” waiting to see updates on the red FD excited to watch it start up. Love the channel I’m also following TJ now you guys are badass keep up the good work -Ronnie
thanks for the tip on the welding wire!
I'm 21 years old and thanks to your great videos now i want to buy my first project car, it's a Datsun 240zx i saw in an old house, just sitting there slowly dying
wut?
Mickey is a beard God
Hey Mickey, unsure what a pain this idea might be, it also, would be beneficial to you as crew.
Here's idea: In description should try to link all tools & products you use in vid with Amazon Affiliate links. That way if someone does want & buys it from link, you guys would get a tiny profit to help out channel & biz😉😀
Just throwin out, & know have Throtl site, but for all those who aren't members, & like Amazon, etc....
Just throwing it out & u sure if thought if, as setting up & creating links(research etc) can be time consuming if extremely busy.
K, thanks for vid, exciting to see car come along from WHAT WAS🤒, to the potential; AND what it is today!
So exciting to see the transformation step by step.
Cheers, A👍🏻👍🏻😊
Aepek Not a bad idea, but like you said, it’ll probably be a pain doing it depending on what they are working on
Williwumbo Yeah, unless had dedicated pertain doing this song with other PC jobs, etc... Would be cool. Would be pretty cool though!
Cheers, A
2g welding wire is equivalent to 4g car audio wire so that’s why it’s cheaper and always go with ofc wire but I’d say you should always go with 0g
Chriscross 7 it's also not cheaper unless you're buying stinger or one of the commercial brands. I paid less then 3.50/ft for my 1/0. Hell me 4/0 I used for the runs from my distribution blocks didn't even cost $5/ft
Jeremy Crabtree I use sky high and gp car audio all ofc
Hope to see you and the RX7 at Sevenstock!!!
Don’t change nothing to else to appearance I gotta be the only one that likes how it looks now
yo yo that's very dangerous what you're doing with that power wire you're better off removing the kick panel and running it through the firewall like you would an audio system overtime that will vibrate against the metal pipe and cause it to wear out the rubber casing and Arc out. think about it if that was a good idea the Factory would have been doing that a long time ago they don't run any power wires underneath the car especially next to fuel
Deatherage performance no it won't at least in over 10 years I haven't had issue once with rubbing and his is even cleaner that mine stop trying to act like you know what your talking about.. it's not a daily and that setup could outlast the engine on this car without any issues
GixxerDad 600 you clearly have no idea what you're talking about if you worked on vehicles before you know that issue it can happen in the next 10 years or can happen in the next month you never knows that's why you never do it that way if you do your wiring like that that's why your shit going to fry it's not the same as street bike you idiot
