I've seen all kind of guys doing car maintenance, engine swaps and all other things you can do on a car. but you're by far the guy that works better. I mean you don't do anything for nothing, and you always replace parts that might not need to be replaced. I really like your videos, keep them up ! They're very interesting. (Sorry for bad english)
Tom your workmanship and attention to detail is outstanding , A little helpful tip for you, if you glue a piece of emery cloth on the inside of your oil filter wrench it will grip the oil filter better when you need to unscrew a tight one . I look forward to the next video Pete m
Well made, good humoured and great viewing, even for those who don't even particularly have an interest in a Figaro. Just as good as Project Thunderbolt and great 'car guy' videos. I always feel a bit more inspired to get out in the garage and crack on my with own project car. Thanks!
Your videos go from normal and informative to some random illuminatti shit. Basically I'm trying to say, I like it. Keep it up. It's very entertaining.
Hey Tom, I love your passion for details. I've watched a good chunk of your videos and that is what I see as being your biggest strength compared to other car channels. These restoration videos are very addicting. One thing I always wondered is what you do for a living, when you're not in the garage. I'm sorry if this has already been answered. Thanks again, looking forward to more great videos to come.
Quick tip for you. When cutting hose I find using a set of good quality pvc ratcheting cutters to be helpful for nice clean and straight cuts, instead of the razor blade 👍🏼 Keep up the good work and can't wait to see what's next
Wanted to take a moment and thank you for the advice to re-tighten the bolts on the rocker arms. Did that on my car last weekend when I was doing VC gasket. A couple were not tightened up to spec. Fixed a noise that worried me for some time :)
Great content as usual mate, keep it up! Just as an FYI, the 80's Nissan electrical connectors can just be squeezed together to remove them, rather than levering the spring clip off. It took me a long time and many, many dropped metal clips before I realised that.
Tom I have to say well done I have watched all you videos and have injoyed watching all of them..., You my friend are the best can't wait to see what's next 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Respect for your effort and knowledge. I wish you could upload videos more often. Loved your sleeper Mitsu. Hope one day you will make sleeper Asx 4b11t.
Just a small tip my dad thought of, but what he does in his shop is mark the floor for different vehicles so he knows exactly where each vehicle needs to be in relation to the lift posts so that they line up. Maybe something you can try to make servicing easier.
Simply amazing Tom! Can you talk a bit about how much better the car felt? I know you mentioned it in the video there at the end but you did so much great work. Does it feel butter smooth after the work? I love watching the videos. The peace of mind knowing your car, both inside and out, is now clean and pristine is priceless.
BTW I owned a classic british car and although you have to remember to call them in the morning (its night time there), they are extremely happy to help.
Your videos are just amazing! I really look up to you as a beginner mechanic. I wish i had as much time and enthusiasm to maintain my car. Keep those videos coming :)
Those control arms look similar to the Nissan Maxima ones. BTW I have been using that cardboard trick you showed from previous videos to organize bolts. It helps alot.
Thanks man, glad I can help! They are probably similar to many others, just scaled down a size or two compared to those. Most parts a size smaller in this car.
A small hint. Those connectors, you dont have to remove the metal clip. Porsche uses the same type of connectors on their older cars, all you need to do is to wiggle the connector from side to side. When you pull it up on one side it lets the metal clip go over the ridge on the connector, if you slightly pull it towards you at the same time and then wiggle it to the other side itll come off.
hi Tom, my dad's company BK Sheet Metal actually makes wheelarches for the figaro shop here in England along with any other sheet metal related parts. it's a small world ahah
Thanks Joe!! Oh yeah, huge improvement- all of those little fixes made a big difference. I tell ya, we should team up on a project- you do the powder coating and I'll do the spray painting and anti-seize application. :-D
hey tom, I live in chattanooga and really enjoy your channel. You should bring the figaro to gatlinburg on the 2nd of October for the slammedenuff event.

NEED MORE VIDEOS...MOOOOORRRR
Honestly, Velocity channel needs to give you a show.
Anti MCM. A complete pleasure to watch, I'm gonna go and work on my car tomorrow, just because of this.
Nice! Thank you sir!
These types of videos inspire me to get off the couch and go give the cars a much needed tune up.
Did it work?
It did. Now i need to buy some valve cover gaskets.
I have to constantly remind myself that this car came out in the 90s and not the 50s. They did an excellent job with that design trait.
One of the many joys of East Tennessee is passing Tom on the roads in one of his projects youve watched build on the channel... Great work!
Hi Matthew! Thank you for the kind words and see ya again out there soon!
Man, after a long day I needed this. Nothing lowers blood pressure more than watching some good old Turbo Garage. Thanks for the upload, Tom!
You're welcome sir, glad I could help!
11:48 I love how you say "under the bonnet". We call it a bonnet in Ireland.
I love the amount of production that goes in to all your videos thanks
its stuff like this that keep me planing and working the long hours at work so i can start my sleeper
Finally got around to watching all three parts to this Figaro series. Great work! I can't for part 4 and beyond!
Tom your workmanship and attention to detail is outstanding , A little helpful tip for you, if you glue a piece of emery cloth on the inside of your oil filter wrench it will grip the oil filter better when you need to unscrew a tight one . I look forward to the next video Pete m
After watching your videos I developed a much greater attention to detail with my own engine bays, love the before and after
Thank you Billy and I'm glad I can help. Have a good one!
Your attention to detail always amazes me. I'm always happy if my car still runs when I'm done!
same here.. . the first few tines you take it out, everything is crossed and youre still expecting something to go wrong....
Thank you fellas!
I can only hope to have a shop as comprehensive as yours someday. Im not a jealous man... but man, am I jealous.
YES!!! Tom fills the filter like i do. Oldschool man.
Awesome video. Scrub bubs are tough on soap scum yet gentle on valve covers. All is right in the world ‼️
Well made, good humoured and great viewing, even for those who don't even particularly have an interest in a Figaro. Just as good as Project Thunderbolt and great 'car guy' videos. I always feel a bit more inspired to get out in the garage and crack on my with own project car. Thanks!
You're welcome Brian, I appreciate the kind words.
I'm glad there are other Scrubbng Bubblers out there!
That dramatization though... That just made my day! Thanks Tom!
Your videos go from normal and informative to some random illuminatti shit. Basically I'm trying to say, I like it. Keep it up. It's very entertaining.

Always excited for a new Tom's Turbo Garage video!
Thank you Kevin!
they dont happen nearly often enough
100% agree one of my favorite channels on UA-cam! One day I'll have a garage like yours
ive used most of these videos to make my cars look much much better. thanks tom!
Quick tip for you. When cutting hose I find using a set of good quality pvc ratcheting cutters to be helpful for nice clean and straight cuts, instead of the razor blade 👍🏼 Keep up the good work and can't wait to see what's next

Engine looks immaculate Tom!
The best kind of Friday :)
Your attention to detail motivates me to do the same. The Figaro looks amazing, I didn't know they had turbos nice!
Man I would love one day to fly half of the planet to meet you for a morning coffee and cars talk , all the best mate with your future projects
You can't fool me. At some point, you will be detailing that engine bay.
Can't wait to see the figaro in action on the next video. Thanks Tom
The best cared for 100hp engine EVER
The Figgy is looking good
Your attention to detail inspires me my friend and that's a very cool car to boot 😄
Thank you for saying that, glad I can help!
Great content as usual mate, keep it up! Just as an FYI, the 80's Nissan electrical connectors can just be squeezed together to remove them, rather than levering the spring clip off. It took me a long time and many, many dropped metal clips before I realised that.
SO glad to see a new upload!!!
Thank you

Thanks Dan, excellent idea! Also, the truth is out there...
Tom that's my idea of a tune up and how it should be done. keep it up.
Thank you Jason!

Hi Gregory and thank you! I will definitely do so in the next video during the test drive. Thank you for the suggestion and kind words.
Senpai has noticed me! This is truly an amazing day 😀

Cool! Those arches have saved the lives of many Figaros!
1:42 OMFG I'm dying! XD That guy is such a trouble maker.
Torch is a filthy animal, honestly.

Cool Vid Tom. Hope all is well.
Nice job Tom! I bet that thing runs SO much better. Also, I don't know how you do it... You're a WIZARD with a spray paint can.
Thanks Joe!! Oh yeah, huge improvement- all of those little fixes made a big difference. I tell ya, we should team up on a project- you do the powder coating and I'll do the spray painting and anti-seize application. :-D
WOOOO! PART 3!!!!!
Beautiful
Awwwww yes! Been waiting for this episode!
Thanks Leon!
Just finished watching, great episode as always!

What's up man!? That sounds like fun!
It's definitely a lot of fun, the miata or figaro would both go over well there. it will be a lot of lowered and import vehicles.
