Cheap and Easy Rally Car Mods - Were they Worth It?

We are so close to finally taking our rally e36 back to the desert! But first we need to add a few cheap and easy mods to the e36 so that it looks and functions more like a rally car. So buckle up people because for the first time in a while we are doing some easy mods haha.

We have a new(ish) channel!

Money Pit is where you get to learn about cars as we work on them. Each ep we’ll breakdown how each component works and then we’ll upgrade it. Join us in our journey to build cool cars, learn about them, and drive the crap out of them!

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

Donut Media is at the center of digital media for the next generation of automotive and motorsports enthusiasts. We are drivers, drifters, and car enthusiasts who love to tell stories.

I feel like it needs a good livery, it just doesn’t feel like a rally car without it

Jobe has gotten so good at talking to the camera and making these vids enjoyable. He's becoming the Bill Nye of car mods

[YaggetBoys]

I think we’d love to see a money pit season featuring a restoration build.

I really appreciate the Hi-Low bumpers hanging on the wall. They make me warm inside.

Whoever chose this groovy music deserves a major raise. Good stuff Boyos!

E36: Has fog lights
Zach: lets mount some foglights to an e36

[ariaakee]

I missed on a lot of episodes but damn I never get tired of a good cage inside the car no matter how many times I see different kinds in different cars.

This is my favourite series on the channel.
Zach is brilliant in front of a camera and makes harder tasks seem manageable. Preferred the miata series to this one though since every week felt a little more substantial of changes.

Zach: *Adds in new fog lights but completely ignores cleaning the heavily sun damaged headlight covers* Now we can see better at night!

[ChrisFellows]

Remembering Zach in his ECS Tuning days compared to now, he has progressed so much. Always look forward to Wednesday’s because of his show.

[RealImpostor]

Donut's videos always make my day

[aldolizalde]

Zach: you're doing great
Jerry: that's more encouragement than my dad ever gave me
Zach: that's kinda what I figured ya know?

[LeviJules]

"The least cheap, but the most easy"
Yeah, uh, I'm gonna need that on a Donut trucker hat pls.

[xkclearly]

The most tolerable host on donut. No corny jokes. No screaming. Just straight informational content. How it should be.
Love ya Zach.

I've installed tons of those mudflaps, including on my own car. Rally Armor makes really nice mudflap kits for many vehicles, but even the generic kit is still relatively easy to install. It's an essential car modification imo. I've found that a better way to do it is to trace the mudflap with a transparent piece of paper, cut out that paper, and then use that piece of paper as a template to mark out the planned mounting hole locations, and use that template for drilling the holes in the actual mudflap. You usually only need to do this once for the front and once for the rear, and then you can just flip the template for the other side of the car/truck, as most vehicles are essentially the same on either side (although a quick check first is always a good idea). You can usually find multiple mounting points connecting the fender liner to the fender that/quarter panel/truck bed that can be used to hold the mud flaps securely too. Sometimes you need to get a bit creative to make some metal brackets for some additional support, but it's generally pretty quick and easy to come up with something. I'm a big fan of securing the mud flaps with bolts and flat nuts if possible, as it makes it easy to remove and reinstall when needed for repairs and maintenance. A little bit of extra work when installing them can save you time, effort, and aggravation later.

12:55 *bumper has slotted wells that will accommodate rally lights to maintain a flush clean appearance. *bolts them smack dab in the front to be used like bash bars...

Between Donut and Zach from JerryRigEverything making his own electric humvee, I'm in car mod heaven

[Fileeraus]

300 for pedal covers? Cheap??!!? Like what the hell, where'd you even find them? The most expensive aluminum covers I found cost 45

[thedutchest]

It's amazing how every Donut video feels like a full blown tv production. I love this channel!

[MichelleSleeper]

I've always loved those full view rally mirrors, even on a daily driver sports car. Maybe it's just where I live but people are crazy on the roads and you can see so much more of your surroundings with them.
