yo y’all didn’t delete the person’s comment talking ab how they got screwed over did you
Too many people no longer care about it being done right as long as it is done right now. The world is all about instant gratification rather than pride in a job well done.
💯
No truer words have been said. Agree 💯
@@TommyBlazeHD Yes!
That's why widebodies are simply riveted on nowadays instead of properly molded in...
FACTSSSS
Yeah I blame tiktok for that, its hard for them to do anything when their attention span is less than of a goldfish
People have no patience to "build" a car.They don't know how to plan a build, research parts, or do the work themselves if a shop price seems too much. Building a car takes time, money, and is a process. They should just go out and drop $30k on a car already done that the owner has lost interest in.
And if it’s quality work why not save the time lol I’m having a shop build an s14 but I don’t have the time with college and a job to do so I guess and for someone who has expertise I’d prefer that the right way
I have moved to to the BMW platform (2000 Golden age) you want to talk about a brand that does not work well with cutting corners.
Although I do see it all the time every single day.
" oh you have a BMW 3 series with Pep Boy Wheels cut springs and bad camber.
Say your variable cam timing system isn't working and your cooling system isn't really working either so your about to blow a head gasket and pull the head bolt threads out the block.... oh you want to cut the muffler off and straight pipe it first..... Cool.... "
I'd like to pushback on this. It's builds like Project Binky, which has been going on since 2013, that I REALLY want to see more of on UA-cam. There's something about thinking about and showing all of the problems with a car, solving them, and then making it all yourself that make those projects all the more worthwhile. As someone that wants to build one day, I'm already looking at the type of tools I would need to fabricate materials. I think it's totally worth the time and effort, but I think people need to think long-term instead of expecting something that'll take more than a Sunday afternoon.
I hope to have a garage someday and build a FB Rx7 with carbon fiber panels and interior. Custom ofc. Someday...
Came to the comments to talk about Project Binky too lol
Me2!! Ain't no bs about Binky's build, plus them brits can make Boring, Entertaining.
I was thinking the same thing! Project Binky is absolutely legendary
im waiting for cars from the 2010s to depreciate
Fancy dawg and smart man.
Mr Dawg why are miatas so expensive? The NA is going up and the ND. The NC is 20k and a brand new ND is 40k.
@@Star_Taro thank TikTok for inflating the market
Same
@@Star_Taro literally was looking at a 2008 Miata with the touring package 67k miles manual with the drop top. Dealer was asking 10k I come back 3 months later they’re asking 20k my gawd
i really wish they still made brand new 90s Japanese sports cars .
Same. But with how the NHTSA is now it will never be like what it once was. They have gotten so strict that the majority of cars are boring and a lot bigger now.
@@justindavidocampo I got a solution to that ....go to the Caribbean we're loaded with jdm legends
Nissan Z. Boom. There ya go.
Not every car has to be fully built for me to like it. There’s plenty of cars that I like the way they are with a few mods
Agreed. People try to roast me for not modifying the looks of my car but I like how it looks. I'd rather make it go fast.
The you are not a real car guy
I gave up building cars after I graduated college in 2002. After graduation I bought both an 02 s2k and 02 e46m3. Kept both in mint stock condition since but if you build your car the wrong way, don’t expect it to perform nice or last
I gave up the car scene lol
Your sitting on a retirement fund lol
Bro when you said “ that stereo was 200 bucks from Best Buy”
Holy crap that took me back to working landscaping all summer to buy one from Best Buy so I could play burned CD’s with music I got from lime wire 😂😭
And the kenwood CD player I got for my Honda prelude at the time
Most/many people just can't afford it anymore.
I feel like young enthusiasts like me wanna do our build ASAP but we don’t think the bigger picture which is we have a whole life in front of us that we have more than enough time to accomplish our goals
Lmao the "your not Ken block now are you" killed me had flash backs to crashing my beetle at 70 mph breaking all of my wheels and having a headlight pull the wire harness across the street
My favourite car builds on youtube are ones that have taken a long time. Juicebox's AE86 has taken 4 years just to become a rolling shell. Ronald Finger's Fiero restoration was incredibly in depth and showed the entire process, including screw ups. BoostedBoiz's MR2 used to be cobbled together to get another quarter mile run uploaded and they were breaking it every week, but it became truly amazing once they slowed down and started doing things right, which has paid off with it becoming the first 7-second MR2 in the world. I really want to see more long-term projects where something is built up and done right
"Ya either got deep pockets or you Learn to do it yourself" & that's not really a new trend, it was true for us in the 90's and today. I learned to weld for the sole purpose of doing my own body/ exhaust work cus that shit ain't cheap...same with other trades I managed to pick up over the years. All for wanting not to half ass it
Ya im running in to problems even finding parts for my car and its a 2001 bmw wagon, it fighting to know your buying the very last parts available available for your build and if you screw up theres no way to replace them!
@Smeedia is one of my favorite UA-cam channels because he actually talks about every single thing that needs to be done for the car to run properly. He is currently building a 6 cylinder boxer engine for a VA chassis sti. He's even rewiring everything correctly to work with a Haltec ECU. The man is a legend.
These kinds of builds are the ones I actually watch and not get bored of because they are so unique and teach so much.
That engine deleting intro!😂👍🏾🔥
That shit was heartbreaking….
You mean zip ties and 200mph (Duct) tape isn't the right way. Who said, works for left turn guys 😤👊🍻
Im rolling straight in my VW, its us too. I even have the valve+tubes on my floor but still rocking my 200mph tape under the hood until it fails :)
Big shame is seeing Slammed and Riced Evo's , Rx-7, Nsx and other brilliant cars
Call em slugbugs and yes its cringy as hell to see on just about anything but considering Evos are tomorrows classics its just depressing.
2015 evos in my area going for more than a 2021 STI
That Red NSX is done pretty well, it has a fully built motor from Ramey Built racing. One of the world record holder for fastest Honda. Its on airlift though, but it's pretty well done. It's my boy Bradley, I'm the yellow S2000 💛 next to him
Slamming them is fine as long as its not bagged. Its when they have huge stanced wheels when its bad
Agreed. So many today build for looks, then get mad when something like my Evo 8 with paint scratches, a little curb rash and dog hair on the back seat but a ton of money under the hood walks them. Someday when I am finally happy with my mechanical work I will start thinking about looks, but it will be a cold day in hell before I do something for looks that diminishes performance.
You get what you pay for. Do it right the first time so you're not regretting cutting that corner later on. 😉
That’s why I’m happy people love the oem look on the BB6. Makes me happy. Lol. Apparently I need wheels but that’s all now
I still do it. I may have found a 93 DSM in a backyard. We will see soon.
You can absolutely do it right on a budget. It just depends on the starting point and desired end product. Patience and perseverance to build it is another story.
I remember watching pics on Instagram of someone building their dream G35. Took two years. And then it was wrecked two months later…. Red light runner lol
Back in the 90's when the small car scene was burgeoning, I took my car to hot rod shows, attention and detail with some original flair got my awards, they didn't except jank. Some of the these shows had only just started to have categories for small car imports/modern back then. I'd get a lot of grief from the V8 guys too. Plan your build and make good relationships with companies you do business with.
tbh I think this is a big part of the reason I find myself so drawn towards the rally scene as apposed to the street car scene. To me it feels like not only can you try your best to make the car look appealing for an open event but then you also have to basically 'test' the build quality you were able to put together when your racing.
Of course rally and street cars have very different aesthetics and to each their own for what you prefer, but I almost see it as like 2 sides of the same coin?
COVID prices happened
That last hour of any install that was supposed to be a quick easy repair is absolutely gruelling, I have learned that its usually best to walk away for a while otherwise corners get cut!!
Parts for my '72 Chevy I had in the 90s cost a LOT less than parts for my current 2003 VW GTI :(
About the 3m and self tappers, I agree. however I’m still putting my Z in lowering springs not coils cuz they are way too much, that is unless you guys (Fitment Industries) wanna send me some free ones 😁
Give this man some coilovers!
I've been building my step sons eclipse. Have had it for a year now, buying parts to do it the right way. My car scene was late 90's early 2000's.
I miss all the CRAZY parts for our Vehicle's from the late 1990's & early 2000's...
And, (speaking as a 47yo) the "weird stuff" in the JC Whitney Catalogs/Magazines!
Cars worth building have gotten expensive. Also in these past also 2 years, desirable parts and engines have gotten expensive.
As always Alex does a wonderful job laying down the truth about cars.
Perfect Fitment or NLA part? Pft Fabrication is still available. Just don't half-ass it or cheap out.
My pockets aren't lined with gold
the satisfaction of having it 'right' beats all the fake highs of getting it 'right now'. i think you're right on with the under 30 crowd being more concerned with fast rather than right those of us who know the feeling of just getting behind the wheel of something right and reliable(ish) is just far superior than seeking approval of shmucks.
Feels good to be back commenting on fi😍
Welcome back 🤝
just bought my first "project" car, a 2009 Subaru impreza wrx and I really wanna make sure I do things right and not cheaply
THANK YOU! SO TRUE!
Called the shop to see how much it would cost to install new lowering springs. Quoted at $1,200. LOL.
Thats just adorable.
Find a buddy with a lift and do it yourself for a fourth the price
At that rate you could've gotten coils! That's crazy!
@CivicX704 Blue Ah, A man of culture
All you need is a spring tool kit from autozone, a jack, and a bunch of sockets. Did it with my cousin on his car. Took about an afternoon.
Went to an elite tuner “car show” a bit ago and it was full of cars with shitty paint with dirty ass engine bays and rep wheels there was probably no more than 10 cars were actually show ready
I have 0 experience welding, but im attempting to 03 dc5 front end swap an 03 em2
Lets see, im 1 year and a few grand deep into my current volvo C30 project and it still doesnt run. But im also doing all the work myself, in my spare time. Most all work now has been engine internals and performance upgrades like new stainless valves, porting and polishing the exhaust ports, bigger intercooler and boost pipes, custom fabbed 3" catless downpipe, and all new forged internals. Now the block is getting sleeved and I got tired of it looking stock everyday, so i finally copped some enkei ts5 wheels from you guys last week to give me some visual cues that ive actually made some damn progress!
Clip with the miata in the intro is Stanwell tops if you over come down under.
That mk3 golf video breaks my heart everytime 😩 🥺
me: "I dont do things the bunk way"
also me: *Did my bumper tuck with zip ties*
No build is complete without that beautiful (not cringe at all) heart shaped track tow hook...

Life of Palos intro style lol I like it 👌
Awe man. I'll be in Appleton WI today!
Alex I'm So Proud Of The Channel Growth Bro Keep Up The Good Work💪🖤👌
I'm here working on my 2018 Lexus 3iS Suspension with almost all T-Demand Arms for example and it's expensive 😅 Nobody will see it but i do feel the difference in driving and built for me. Want to build a lowered car correctly and with the quality parts 👍🏼
Car community is less likely to help you on your build they keep their knowledge super secret especially what it took to build their own vehicles, that being said a lot of stuff the newer generation is suppose to know isn't there or is hard to obtain any basic knowledge.
Because the "car community" is comprised mostly of "clout" chasing dopes. Actual car enthusiasts will gladly give away knowledge and help out fellow enthusiasts with builds. I am one of those people. I'm an open book and love to help other enthusiasts (not that I know it all, but if I can help, I will). Unfortunately, I don't have many car friends because I cannot stand the current "car scene," and I just build my cars for myself and by myself.
@@redheadmetalhead247 I get you most my buddy's aren't knowledgeable about cars nor into mechanical stuff in general so I do it for myself aswell... like you said the car scene isn't what it used to be I cant get into it either unless it's old school forums, channels like this one or hoonigan etc that shows different content and what people really went threw to build their car without those fake "built this car in 10 minutes" vids.
I need to touch on the Slammedenuff Gatlinburg comment, there was equally, if not more junk in that show now then there has been in the past it seems. Everyone is getting lazy from event holders to car enthusiasts, but the quality of cars start with the event holders, they need to give themselves more time to pick cars for the showcase then just hitting the accept button to fill it in. I enjoyed the parking lot cars more so than the actual indoor event.
That sound bit with the swords flashbacked me to childhood Disney game potco or pirates of the Caribbean online. Lol.
The car in the thumbnail is my husbands carrrrrrr 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😏😏😏
🔥
On that last note at the end, has FI ever ran deals for steelies and snow tires or have y’all stuck with mainly more sport/summer/regular show aftermarket stuff? Been interested in maybe getting a wheel and tire snow setup for my daily Sentra that has 4X114.3 bolt pattern.
Thank you for reminding me alex that from 2026 to 2021 our community has relied on 3m tape
Neil's juicebox ae86 still going and great vibes
I find myself doing this exact thing and I know I would be better off just doing it right the first time
Example is I've had my Racelands on my Mk5 and I really like it but my wife tipped the scale by saying I need to put some big boy money on some suspension that I like and is still comfortable. Ultimately if you do it wrong for instant gratification you end up spending more time and money later fixing it
Banger
We STILL out here!! Building one GOOD Honda @ a time!!
me doing religious oil change on my 13 civic si coupe as i dont have racks to throw at it right away instead of just adding spoilers or intake without a tune. so it only has wheels tires and suspension.
Yep! Everyone forgot that this isn't about the likes...it's about you and your ride. It took a little less then a year on my suspension. Over two years on the build itself, the car will be built how I see it...if you done likie...well you didn't payie..for it
Going to build a Factory Five GTM someday, it will definitely be done properly
Damm I the truth in the last 1:00
Do it right or just don’t do it 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽 networking is key ingredient the car community 👌
The more you work on your build yourself the more confident you are and appreciate your work
Drop y’all Instagram tags 👇🏾👇🏾
The story of APC boy!
I so remember the days if you had anything APC on your car it was a piece of shit and we even had a kid who we nick named "APC boy." This kid got so tired of his name and me destroying his ek coupe with Stealth RT/TT that he finally sold the APC mobile and bought a VR4! He then couldn't afford parts and wrecked it because a stock 320hp to the crank was to much power! I still kinda feel bad about this but we kept all this stupid bullshit from happening! Also this was like 2004 and I was 20 years old! FUCK I'M OLD!!!!!😥😭
Please make a video comparing stock vs lightweight flywheels 😩
"Signing Out" with "PEACE" just makes you a 1990's boy...
Or "PEACE OUT"
ayo that Honda Civic clean, where the picture from?
Make a video on ‘what happened to Cefiro a31’ next
Slap a turbo on crank the boost to 40 and pray to god
I don't know how anyone can offord to have paint done these days.
Last week I was quoted $650 to repaint a bumper cover and that was a cheap job from Maaco.
Just paint it yourself.
@@RtistiqSkubie Lol
Any monkey can turn wrenches. It takes a specialized set of skills and tools to do paint well.
Shut up.
Yeah it's really pricey now. I'm not from the USA, I'm from the bahamas and shipping for car parts is 65%. So for car parts I'm paying over 1.5 the amount of the part, so we stay cutting cost if we can. Also when are you guys going to do a Honda crz video
Good paint has doubled since the early 00s
I just wish there was a good shop near me. Then I'd start tastefully modding my car.
Not me using velcro command strips to hold on my headlight trim bc I broke the clips....
😅
Can any one tell me what wheels are on the yellow Supra at 11:58 in the video?
There is no “the right way” unless youre talking about a ricer vs a racer. There are levels to bulding cars, obviously, but if you slap some wheels on your car and lower it for an agressive look, you can be that simple and clean slow fuck, or you can grab yourself a honda, build it for 10k, and destroy any v8/v6 on a straight or in the mountains
Not using self tappers for body kits
I think the scene just changed . When I started building cars in 2008 you get laughed out of a meet if you car wasn’t on par . Now the community is just more accepting more inclusive. Because people understand not every one has the budget to fully build a car . when kids come up to me at car meets for advice . I always just tell them practical upgrades are the way to go then worry about making your car look good .
all I want to do is build a brz but mine was totaled and I cant find one, it sucks
6:12 god damn that 190e is si er CORRECTO
This is why I stick to building 90's cars 😅
Does anyone know what benz that is at 6:11
I dream of putting the FD rocket bunny kit on my rx8. Just wish I had the time and money to do it :(
You nailed it man, car building doesn't hold up in this Instagram society. Sad :(
Cars only need to look good in pics because they are never seen in person
Bring or get some mk4 gti footage
Agreed, i have a 2003 20th ANV with fun under the hood :)
Man the knife hands at FI are a serious issue. Holster those bad boys lol
i still run a 20'' red tuff mag
If I had a dollar for every time I used a zip tie for a “temporary” fix/mounting then I’d be able to afford the labor it would take to do it right 🤦🏻😂😂
My DA9 Integra mean muggin me after watching this video lol
Money. Nobody can afford it anymore.
Money is expensive now
lol you said "on the TV" like Norm Macdonald
Ayeee that's my yellow 💛 S2000 😆
and the whole team was in it. 😆 I MADE IT MOM
The best way to set up a 2007 Toyota carolla s
I'm definitely guilty of half ass work on my car. My FMIC (no BS) is held up with zip ties because I don't care! I purchased and $800 clapped out Audi and have built it up while daily driving it since the March of 2020. I didn't build it to be a show car, I built it to be a quick fun daily that I can beat on if I choose to and that I won't cry (too hard) if it gets wrecked.
And that’s ok man, as long as you enjoy it 🙂
@@SilverMoon1134 exactly! Honestly though, I can't believe the zip ties have lasted as long as they have. It's been almost 2 years and they are still holding it up. I do plan to fix it correctly but in no hurry to do it. Lol
It’s called “mocking” it up…. Then time happens..lol
Also, the whole "Respect all builds" BS encourages this type of behavior. I am guilty, myself, of taking shortcuts, but it's not for youtube views, or instagram likes. It's simply because it's my only car, I'm a student, and I have a job, so I'm always in a time crunch. BUT I do not take it to shows, or show it off or brag about it, because I know it's NOT done right or even finished. Basically, I do not waste people's time to look at a car not done properly and not close do done period. What pisses me/ alot of people off is people who think their car is a show car and the bumpers are misaligned, the paint is orange peely or swirled, the wrap is crappy, the quarter panels look like soda cans, and they still put it in shows that people spend money to go into.
Automotive UA-camrs should be smart about their builds… build the car well, record the entire process, produce the videos AND THEN. Publish then after the fact! That way you create a cue of videos that you can release at specific regular intervals. Sure you still run into the crunch of needing to maintain projects, but control your outcome, don’t let it control you!
Admittedly, that becomes a lot harder when someone is trying to prep a Ferrari for a specific show where there is a real-life deadline… but what’re ya gonna do, true ballin like that takes good friends, a lot of cash,… or BOTH!
What is this background music? I want it
