Thank you Mike for explaining spacers and hubcentric correctly to people. So many people are in a hurry to just get something on their car because they want to look good but they don't do the extra work or spend a few extra bucks to make sure that it's safe, installed correctly, and reliable
RIP to St-Eustache's track, unfortunatly they closed because of noise complaints... Was the best track to go to in Québec. Miss it a lot. Thanks for sharing the story Mike, keep up the hard work!
Loved hearing Mike give props to St Eustache (Québec). I was at that race and remember well, the crowd going nuts for his continuing to run. Who would know that years later, this man would STILL be doin' it for the fans - but on camera! BIG shout out to "Professor Mike"!!!
Please give us a detailed rebuild/fixing of Tim's car! I would love to see everything getting sorted! Can not wait for you to start building the Bentley!
As someone who aspires to one day build my own racecar(s) I really appreciate how informative Mike is and how much detail he goes into. I’ve been writing all this stuff down in my mental notepad.
Message for Mike: as a young technician getting his career started in this industry, i appreciate the time you take in these videos to genuinely educate those that want to listen rather than gate keeping all of the sauce 🤝
I usually have school at this time but it gives me something to look forward to when I get home. And on the weekends it’s the first thing I watch in the morning. These daily videos are awesome.
Thank you for the education on the wheel spacers, Mike! Gave me peace of mind for choosing some for my car. Can't wait to get them in the mail, have them bolted up nicely, and tucked flush!
I was filming that event when Essa lost a tire at St Eustache. Essa shared it afterwards. The crowd went so crazy after that run it gave me goosebumps. I have the video somewhere on my Facebook page. If I get a bunch of new subscribers on my UA-cam channel I’ll post the video on here 😉
“I took a seat down at home and I knew it wasn't happening” at least once a month I have the same thing happening. Going to the gym is good, but my sofa sometimes fells so much better 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A DDE Drive through Griffith Park in Glendale, haven't seen since 88 ,my great grandfather from Italy ,couldn't speak English passed away at 98 years old , big Dodgers fa,.lol., love your video guys
FYI : The Lug style is "Cone" seat vs the round which is "Ball" seat. A ball seat lug will hold a con seat wheel, but if you make th mistake of using a cone seat lug on a ball seal wheel, you've got about a max of 10 miles before the wheels literally slice through the lug bolts. It's not a matter of "If" the wheel will fall of, but rather a question of when (And it happens pretty quickly)
Spacers are fine as long as you get good ones and don't push it too far. You have to be mindful if your car axles are hub-centric, or wheel-centric at the connection, and get the right spacers for it, but done right a few CM is totally fine. Just get an alignment after like if you got a new wheels and tyre set up.
Links are the way to go. I lowered mine using the OBD11 (similar to VCDS) and anything past 11mm it would code. With the links the car "thinks" its at the right ride height and wont error. I raised mine back to stock and bought links and its just better.
Can we all get a "Storytime with Formula Drift Champion Mike Essa"? He has to have so many great stories in the motorsport field. Something like "Essa Extra!"
Wow - MIIke is so DDE - tire falls off keep going - surprised took over a year for Mike to share that story - congratulations everyone y’all really finding some great team members
I grew up about 15 minutes from that St Eustache track. They're closing due to noise complaints from houses that were built too close long after the track was there. 😢
BTW, FCP Euro sells full spacer kits with proper lug bolts. They are hub centric and all. About $100 a set and they have various depths. I went 12mm front and 15mm rear.
We run hubcentric spacers off road to give more stability to our jeeps and use locktite. Also if people question it our race team class 6100 truck we ran hubcentric spacers all the time and no failure in the baja 1000 many times. Just buy good spacers and use lock tite.
Bro Tim’s face while he is contemplating if Dave is talking funny from the root canal and trying to figure out if he should say something or not is the funniest thing I have ever witnessed😂😂
Lake pipes on the 599 would be so sick. I had a buddy with a green 78 corvette with side pipes and it was the coolest car. I'd be stoked for something like that on a ferrari
Camera man Mike had some great questions for Dave today. I have the same eagerness to learn and hear from others about what cars are best, what mods are important, etc.
Its hard to see thst dave and damon have steeped back from the camera sometimes, but im glad they found time to and mike and people who show that they have the same passion for what this channel is about. Keep the great work up guys
You do not check the oil with the car running You would have overfilled it. Some newer cars have a gauge on the dashboard, and that's different, but when checking it with a dipstick, the car must be off to get it to the proper level.
Why not put some black or grey or whatever color material on the, high traffic/touch, areas on the blue interior...? Just the usual scuff areas. That'd drive me insane trying to worry about that nonsense all the time, and not being able too properly enjoy the car.
On the key at #18:59 that Eagle is the "Bundesadler" or for you "Federal Eagle" from Germany and BZT stands for "Deutsches Bundesamt für Zulassungen in der Telekommunikation" which roughly translates to "German Federal Office for Approvals in Telecommunications" as this device is a frequency transmitting key (or whatever) and it needed an approval/license for use in Germany and that is why this sticker is there.
I hit my wheel in exactly the same way as you did (not by drifting, at least not intentionally) in the second story mike, and it took a chunk out the rim and folded the lip over doubled on the other side of the wheel, but didn't blow the tyres. I was driving that car around for months after and every time I got up to motorway speeds I was in fear for my life. I eventually couldn't hack it, and for the safety of me and others I just retired the car until I could get some new rims for it ... I really shouldn't of been driving it at all, but had to get to work somehow so stupidly risked it. I'd never do that now tho... I'd be too scared.
Ok, when are you guys getting mike a GT4RS!! He deserves it and would be awesome content!!!! You guys are my number one go to on youtube!! Cant wait for the next video!!
Dave may have had some bad ideas for the channel BUT this Bentley build is brilliant!! With Mike and the team, a wide-body build on the Bentley might be the best build ever on the channel. I’m calling it lol
That Logo is the "Bundesadler" , the "Federal Eagle" and the "Coat of arms" of Germany, this specific one is certification of EMI and such as the FOB is a radio device and thus needs to be within specifications of regulation for the "BZT", which stands for "*B*undesamt für *Z*ulassungen im *T*elekommunikationswesen", or in english "Federal Office for Telecommunications Licensing"
Dave my man. You mentioned that where we would like to see you guys go in California. I vote that you guys should do some kinda Grand Theft Auto 5 tour to all the places that are featured in the game of course with different names and slightly different changes that are noticeable. However it’s very obvious that it’s based out of California. Make it happen. Love the channel. I appreciate the channel as I continue to recover from my massive near fatal stroke and who guys have definitely helped keep my spirits high as I fight on with my recovery to a full healthy body once again at some point. Keep on pump out the amazing content!! Love it! DDE! DDE! DDE!
The whistle is from the pipes not being wide enough. Too much pressure at the higher rpm’s it needs to be wider. I don’t think it’s any typical hole in the exhaust type of leak
The Federal Eagle is one-headed, with its head turned to its right wing and no crown on its head; it does not touch the edges of the shield. For instance, eagles of different designs are used by the Federal President, the Bundesrat, the Federal Constitutional Court and the German Bundestag, as well as featuring on coins and even the German sport associations’ national team shirts. That’s what symbol on the key is guys.
Actually trx grill and headlights are different than rebel, ive owned both and they wont fit each other. and the front end looks way better with hood scoop and width... the raptor shares lights with the ford tremor, so.. trx headlights look way better and the truck with proper wheels looks way nicer. Yall trippin
Not gonna be mad when Tim's ride and Dave's Bentley gets a bunch of views. But we can always depend on Damon and Mike to give us the best of both worlds. Builds and Bananas!
No wing on the 599, that would look goofy. A body contouring spoiler would look great. Damon needs some sort of body kit and wing on the murcielago. It's a little bland except for the neon blue interior.
DailydrivenExotics Stories Great Video I'm glad you had a great time at the DDE HQ and I'm sorry to hear that Dave's Gated Manual Swapped 599 GTB has a Gearbox failure and I hope it's not major and I'm glad Dave absolutely incredible Bentley Continental GT now has Spacers
I would 100% vote for Tim. He built his torch empire by himself from the ground up, after all.
Tim Phans unite!
Plus Dave’s been caught lying and Tim is the definition of innocence.
And he will burn it all down to ash on his own as well 😂
We have mad respect for Mike here in Canada, it's nice to see that he enjoys it here, eh.
Rip St-eustache
it is for sure by
Nice to hear from the community leader of DDE in Canada
@@CouldDoBetterThanThis You're welcome and don't forget to pay your dues, or you will get kicked out, lol.

The DDE channel has grown so much in the years, I love having a morning coffee and watching 1 before I go to work. Great Job DDE
Same! It’s part of my morning routine.
In my country its 10pm.. So I watch before I go to bed.. 😊
3pm for me
Me too coffee and DDE is the way to go 🔥🔥
I drink my Celsius while watching DDE then start getting ready for work 😁

He makes small mistakes a lot. Definitely cross reference with other mechanics and keep service manuals on hand in addition
best way to learn is to start doing it.
Yeah Mike would make a kick as instructor especially for Dave 😂😂
Message for Mike: as a young technician getting his career started in this industry, i appreciate the time you take in these videos to genuinely educate those that want to listen rather than gate keeping all of the sauce 🤝
2pm everyday when dde drops i watch on my lunch break. i watch it on the laptop and my phone at the same time... extra views for my fav channel.
Just came home from work, 11pm and a new DDE vid has dropped!! Awesome way to end the day with a cold beer!! Thanks guys!!
I usually have school at this time but it gives me something to look forward to when I get home. And on the weekends it’s the first thing I watch in the morning. These daily videos are awesome.
Glad to hear Mike Essa's opinion of wheel spacers. Makes me feel better about my expensive wheel spacers.
I have 20mm spacers on my wife's cx-9 LoL
Thank you for the education on the wheel spacers, Mike! Gave me peace of mind for choosing some for my car. Can't wait to get them in the mail, have them bolted up nicely, and tucked flush!
Hearing Mike talk about the since closed track at St-Eustache really makes me miss it😢😅 What a blast we had over there!❤
Tim gets a bonus for telling you not to drive it, he was looking out for what's best for the company .. plus, I like to see him step up
Honestly can’t believe I’m seeing oil level being checked with the engine running 🤣
It’s not running. That car way louder than the fan you are hearing
@@brentmemmer6164Mark says if we turn it off, will it start again?
i'm thinking the same lol! ... only in America! ..
@@brentmemmer6164 it is running !!
Hahaha car was definitely running! 😂😂
Awesome how Mike elaborates on technical details. Always cool to learn something new 🤘🏽🤙🏽

Such a nice way to start the day Mike just knows so much about everything damn
“I took a seat down at home and I knew it wasn't happening” at least once a month I have the same thing happening. Going to the gym is good, but my sofa sometimes fells so much better 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You guys are awesome and bring so much joy to so many people!including me! 😊

Mark behind the camera makes it more entertaining, his sense of humor, like zooming on the face and how he reacts in the conversation. Best!
18:52 hahahah :D as a German that really cracked me up :D he is not totally wrong either, an eagle has been used by quite a few countries in Europa
Backing up what Mike said about spacers. 100% correct.
Spacers are fine as long as you get good ones and don't push it too far. You have to be mindful if your car axles are hub-centric, or wheel-centric at the connection, and get the right spacers for it, but done right a few CM is totally fine. Just get an alignment after like if you got a new wheels and tyre set up.
Dave is hilarious bro i love when he’s not so exhausted from recording all day 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Dave starting up the Ferrari and revving it ❤😂
Links are the way to go. I lowered mine using the OBD11 (similar to VCDS) and anything past 11mm it would code. With the links the car "thinks" its at the right ride height and wont error. I raised mine back to stock and bought links and its just better.
that 599 is tapping like crazy. surprised mike or tim haven't mentioned/noticed that
Right I was so surprised everyone was acting like it’s normal
Can we all get a "Storytime with Formula Drift Champion Mike Essa"? He has to have so many great stories in the motorsport field. Something like "Essa Extra!"
I was there in Saint-Eustache when it happened, it was crazy the public reaction
Also learned to drift on that track, it’s sad it had to be closed
Good morning ya. Great videos. Keep them rolling
32:30 Dave gave Tim a look like when you have done something and your dad looks at you
Wow - MIIke is so DDE - tire falls off keep going - surprised took over a year for Mike to share that story - congratulations everyone y’all really finding some great team members
I grew up about 15 minutes from that St Eustache track. They're closing due to noise complaints from houses that were built too close long after the track was there. 😢
After experiencing it, Mike is right. If you run your car hard like at a track or racing, everything is a consumable.
hey mike, thanks for for the PSA on wheel spacers, totally on point. I really like Dinan, and Burger Tuning for BMW
Podcasting live for Mike, Tim and Mark would be awesome. With Mike leading with technical/racing topics. With live question from fans
Man that fire show u had in the 599 probably melted stuff around the headers
Man who never lies, except on lease repo videos 😂
Never living that one down
Great stuff, all the information regarding these auto builds are great.DDE is awesome channel Let’s Go!!!!

Dave: fuck that
That imitation of the Boss D.

Hey Mr. Know-it-all.. its a dry sump . The oil is in a tank and it has a running level . Hence checking it while it is running...
U can tell u have never used industrial equipment dump trucks etc 😂😂😂
You know which way we would vote. Tim never put out a fake lease agent video!!!
Ur still talking about this let it go how many UA-camrs click bait bud
mike you were close. i live beside there. The St Eustache trace is no more. Closed bout 2 years ago,
