I've been having exams lately which make me a little bit stressed out. However these videos of you working on the stagea really make me cheer up and be happy. Thank you Tofu Auto Works!
You sir, are an artist!! I also don't know if it has been said before but, you are an example to the youtube community for always using safety equipment where needed and taking your health seriously!
Absolutely, so many people are willing to do the wrong things and somehow thinks it makes sense to upload it and act like some sort of teacher. Theres a few guys I watch that still take it seriously but many dont. Heck I’ve been seeing videos where the comments get spun up because they are doing it wrong and the next video they are mocking the comments. If you are gonna do the wrong thing just dont upload lol.
Excellent work! I feel like your design style has evolved so much for the better from the Mazda. Your choice of lines and the width of the flares keep it very tasteful. Looking forward to the next episode! 😃
Yeah I definitely feel that too. I'm putting more thought into the functionality of the design rather than just "Let's make the widest widebody I can" which was my design philosophy on the Mx5.
Loved watching you sculpt the foam from an ugly block into something that just looks right on the car. I don't think I'll look at an M35 Stagea the same way again after seeing this come to life. Keep up the awesome work!
Haha, mate you're out there inspiring thousands of people everyday. Not to mention you have a proper grown-up job on top of all the amazing content you put out. I mean this when I say it, if it weren't for you and people like you out here showing what the car community has to offer, I doubt I'd be where I am today and probably wouldn't have ever bothered with UA-cam.

So amazing watching the process... Easy to take for granted when you see the finished article but the amount of work that goes in to the design process, the shaping etc, let alone creating the moulds and everything else that goes in to producing the final product!! Massive respect! :)
And that, ladies and gentlemen, goes someway to explaining why a body kit for my car would cost at least 35% (before paint + finishing) of the car's purchase value . Outstanding! 👏👏👏
I just Binged watch the videos for this series! Man, i wish i had your videos when i was building a fastback for my Miata back in 2018. This thing is going to be amazing!
it is very interesting to see how the body kit for the Sta-GTR is created and what effort it is But that's something to be proud of, they look like they were made for it
Thats very cool, you can really see the shape coming together now, the way you followed the factory lines gives it such a nice design. It will need a cool paint job after for sure, something bright or a cool pearl metalic maybe. Look forward to the next one!
33:08 Ayyyyyyyyy!!! There it is 😂😂 The progress you've made and the information you give out is phenomenal! I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for that, for providing so much learning material. Thanks again Sensei and keep the videos coming 🔝🔥
как же она бомбически выглядит в этом обвесе, желаю что бы ты остался доволен симметрией, когда будешь делать вторую сторону, а ещё, слушать звук работы инструментов очень приятно
I don't know if you're already planning on doing it but I think that since the front fenders won't be covering the whole bumper you should maybe add a canard or something along those lines to make the car look lower and complete the front end. Awesome progress, can't wait to see the finished parts! This car might even dethrone the RS6 Avant as my favorite wagon ever.
I'm still impressed how you are pulling out all those tricks out of your sleeves with 9 of the 10 times you don't wear sleeves and all. 😂🤣 That's what makes your channel so dam cool in my opinion.
You've demonstrated some great methods for ensuring reproducible dimensions on the other side. I never even knew how to tackle something like this and be somewhat certain the left and right side matches. Cheers
Absolutely a masterpiece. That pandem style is what im wanting to do on my bagged civic sedan. Was sad to see the video end i coulda watched 10hrs straight of u working and not even realize it. Cant waot for next episode. Have a good one
@@TofuAutoWorks sanding painting glass and body filler work don't matter I'm sure I'm not the only one who would tune in and is learning a lot from you
ya farken sheep shagger haha, good old kiwi ingenuity, tempted to do the same for my Stagea but finding the nissan gtr front end is extremely hard, keep up the beautiful work did you know the 4 door R32 skyline body was the best option to make into a ute, B pillars back is a lot easier to turn into a ute then using the coupe body
So glad I found your channel last night. Love the style of videos, and more importantly, the style of projects! Keep doing what you're doing! You are talented sir!
Witam cie serdecznie oglądam cie z podziwem jesteś widać milosnikiem samochodowym i podchodzisz do wszystkiego fachowo i znasz sie na rzeczy już sie nie moge doczekać efektu końcowego pozdrawiam Polski
I'm also amazed at how rudimentary the MX5's body kit looks next to this! Reminds me of TwinZ's 300ZX widebody; just really clean-looking and complimentary to the car.
it would be nice to see the side where the gas door is completed and somehow make that door go upward instead of side ways that way both sides look symmetrical, but man that is very great what you just made right there ,looking awesome !!
Thats some great work! im doing a wide body on my project but i have access to proper wide rear quarter panels and front arches specifically made for the car, they still need to be bonded on and blended in and painted which is a lot of work for me but the fact your'e starting from scratch is just a different level of work and imagination. Well done man, cant wait to see the finished build.
This thing is shaping up to be epic! I think it would look much cleaner if you did the front flare as a single piece, it's like 30 seconds more work to unbolt it before removing the bumper. Also, if you're planning on using rivnuts, get the ones for plastic on the bumper! They make a huge difference compared to the sheet metal ones that just rip out of you look at them wrong. Keep up the great work!
Making the flares in a single piece was the plan originally. But I've decided I can make the kit much easier to produce and install if I fix the widebody to the actual fenders / sideskirts and produce them as a single part. Similar to what other companies have done with kits like the Rocket Bunny S14 Boss kit. For fasteners I'll be using rubber well nuts since they dont shake loose with vibrations or lead to galvanic corrosion like the rivnuts can.
When I first clicked on and saw you was doing an expanding foam body kit I was like NOOOOO! Everyone I've seen attempting this online has just ended up fucking up their cars and from what I've seen, it just doesn't look good. HOWEVER... watching you do this has just astonished me. The end result looked absolutely fantastic. Just goes to show how good these kits can look when you know what you're doing. Hats off to you. You have so much talent and I love to watch the evolution of the cars you build. Just wish i had an ounce of the talent you have. Can't wait for the next installment. Keep up the good work 👍
And just remember..... This is just the first stage of making the plug. By the time he refines it enough to actually make the mould for the final flares, it's going to look awesome!
if you go through all that labor and effort in glass, take a bi of time to make a mold you might be able to sell a few sets to fund the project beautiful work this ones awesome , as was the Miata!
I've been having exams lately which make me a little bit stressed out. However these videos of you working on the stagea really make me cheer up and be happy. Thank you Tofu Auto Works!

Man! You are absolutely the guy to go to for a kit! Your attention to lines is what a lot oh the modders are missing! Great stuff!
Cheers man! I really appreciate that!

Yeah I definitely feel that too. I'm putting more thought into the functionality of the design rather than just "Let's make the widest widebody I can" which was my design philosophy on the Mx5.
Lesson's were learned with the miata, this has to be functional to drive, and legal.
Loved watching you sculpt the foam from an ugly block into something that just looks right on the car. I don't think I'll look at an M35 Stagea the same way again after seeing this come to life. Keep up the awesome work!
Seeing such skills on display like this make me wonder what I'm even doing with my life

Really enjoy this type of content, where your work does the talking. No need to explain what’s goin on, clearly articulated. Great Job!!
That little trick for drawing where you are going to cut is the coolest thing ever. 🇯🇲 big up.
Great use of the existing body lines, a laser and a long bending ruler. Looks great!
I like how you’ve incorporated existing body lines into the design, they emphasise the extra width.
Mate you are so next level with all this it's insane. Total inspiration
I watched all 22 episodes and really enjoyed it.
So amazing watching the process... Easy to take for granted when you see the finished article but the amount of work that goes in to the design process, the shaping etc, let alone creating the moulds and everything else that goes in to producing the final product!! Massive respect! :)
Seharusnya channel yang seperti ini yang banyak subscribernya🔥detailing nya sangat sangat josss
And that, ladies and gentlemen, goes someway to explaining why a body kit for my car would cost at least 35% (before paint + finishing) of the car's purchase value .
Outstanding! 👏👏👏
粉が舞う作業は、動画見ながら画面に息を吹きかけたよ。
私は元々整備士（今は農家）でFRP造形もしていたので、このチャンネルは楽しいです。
I just Binged watch the videos for this series! Man, i wish i had your videos when i was building a fastback for my Miata back in 2018. This thing is going to be amazing!
Love your process man. Thanks for not adding any music, the work you do is enough.

Love watching you work, finding the right lines, refining, adjusting, refining again. It's fascinating. I always look forward to your videos!

Amazing!. don't know why I would like to see something more extreme, probably because your level of commitment
Колоссальный объем работы! Молодцом!🤝
Love the under cut look on the lower rear wheel well, can't wait to see how you will incorporate the back door to open
I don't know if you're already planning on doing it but I think that since the front fenders won't be covering the whole bumper you should maybe add a canard or something along those lines to make the car look lower and complete the front end. Awesome progress, can't wait to see the finished parts! This car might even dethrone the RS6 Avant as my favorite wagon ever.
Wow! Just epic! Your skills and craftsmanship continue to amaze! 👌
You sir is an artist. You inspire me to do these kind of things
Bravo man....just wow, so much work, so much skill, and what an amazing design for the widebody.
Whaou, what an amazing job! It is fantastic, congratulations!!!!!
you deserve to have more subs the hard work you put in is amazing
Bro that kit is coming together! Nice work!

It's looking fire! Can't wait for the next update!
This thing belongs in Sema!
Superb work!! For the future I would like to see a version 2 with a more unique style for the fenders
I love watching you make these. Your vids are like the dudes digging pools in the woods but for car guys
The amount of progress each video is astonishing!
Daaaang. That looks 🔥. I am in awe of the work you are doing on this stagia. That wide body is gonna look so cool man. Watching in anticipation
This is becoming one sick car! Can't wait to see how you mimic this design to the other side, looking to start desiging my wide body on my G35 soon.
Brilliant. I'm hooked. I hope you get someone nice give you a GTR engine and gearbox to compliment this build. This car is special. You are awesome.
When I carve foam like this I tend to use an electric carving knife if I need to carve a lot of material. Works really well.
You're doing a masterful job. So nice to watch. Keep it up. Don't get tired 🤘
It looks incredibly cool mate. Love watching you work - can’t wait to see the final product.
Absolutely a masterpiece. That pandem style is what im wanting to do on my bagged civic sedan. Was sad to see the video end i coulda watched 10hrs straight of u working and not even realize it. Cant waot for next episode. Have a good one
3 hour sanding live stream in the future? 😅

The rear fender is awesome perfect with the design

watching you work is really interesting. the stea-gtr is looking good
Man that’s starting to look so friggen good!
I'm also amazed at how rudimentary the MX5's body kit looks next to this! Reminds me of TwinZ's 300ZX widebody; just really clean-looking and complimentary to the car.
Another awesome vid! Been looking forward to the start of the widebody.
...and over 77k subs now too - wow!
Nice touch covering the gas tank for the sparks. Better safe than sorry thats for sure!
This work is pure genius! Your body kit looks already incredible 😉
I’m super excited to this done. Even though we don’t get this in USA it should be a kit. Definitely complements the r34 stagea builds
The m35 will probably be old enough to import by the time I'm finished haha
it would be nice to see the side where the gas door is completed and somehow make that door go upward instead of side ways that way both sides look symmetrical, but man that is very great what you just made right there ,looking awesome !!
Awesome build, i hope you do something with the original GTR taillights
this man does everything so confidently. id be scared to touch anything after the foam
Oh wouah, magnifique 😍
Great job 💪🏼
Thats some great work! im doing a wide body on my project but i have access to proper wide rear quarter panels and front arches specifically made for the car, they still need to be bonded on and blended in and painted which is a lot of work for me but the fact your'e starting from scratch is just a different level of work and imagination. Well done man, cant wait to see the finished build.
When you spend a looong time doing 1 side knowing you'll have to do the other 😅😂. Love this build, been watching from the start. Bravo 👏
How come there isnt an easy method to flip the molds.
@C4membert he does em separate, he uses basic tools to do his work. No fancy computer gadgets, he's certainly talented either way 👌

@@TofuAutoWorks That makes total sense, thanks for the reply!
Wow that is so awesome fabricating going on hey. Thanks for sharing your content.
This video was worth the wait. Excellent job!
I cant wait A week or two , your work is adictave.... I will wach hours of your work.... thanks for the content.
Amazing work my man. Your a true craftsman
Amazing work good sir,love working on cars and joyfully driving them after, goodwill to you.
Mind blowing as usual!
Such great work and excellent eye for details 🙌🏽

This man has some serious mad skills…I wish he was my neighbor! 😊
Not with me breaking out the angle grinder at 3 in the morning haha. Had to move to a farm just to stop bothering everyone.
Epic!! Widebody looks awesome!
From Iraq, very wonderful design and work, I congratulate you
12:20 thats boostwars, the car with which JP Performance started its career, incredible 1000hp build
This is so amazing an soothing at the same time - it's like wathing a monk painting a car mandala...
THIS IS WORK of ART!!!!!!! Brilliant!
Love that u used a picture of JP's R35 as reference at 10:30
Very impressive work from the beginning on to now
Dope stuff as always. I really like that bottom section on the front part of rear fender...
Man, you are amazing! Great work!
格好良くなりそうですね！
続きが楽しみ！
Such a great Job man, seriously be proud of what you do, im about to start my own widebody project and your videos just make me feel boosted!! 🔥🔥

This is definitely worth staying up late for
Im working the foam out on my hood now for carbon vent moulds. Good timing to pick up any pointers from you.
Yeah mate! Awesome to hear people getting out there and doing it. Best of luck!
@Tofu Auto Works Yessir! Composites are my newest goal to master.
if you go through all that labor and effort in glass, take a bi of time to make a mold you might be able to sell a few sets to fund the project
beautiful work this ones awesome , as was the Miata!
Man i never thought watching video with caption relaxing me😂. Btw excellent job. Can wait for next episode
When the video says 'Press CC for subtitles'...
But not a single word is spoken👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Merci pour les explications en français
Vraiment travailler de fou furieux vivement la suite 👍👍👍
This is looking really good man, awesome!
Nice one. That looked like fun.
Nice work as always!! cant wait for the next video!!
Good job Tofu. I love this car.
Awesome work man, not that you need to hear it, but keep it up, can't wait to see each episode.
