How to Get your Car Ready for an Endurance Race (and not blow up)

Today I show you how to install gauges, a heel plate, wheel hub studs, Lexan windows, and modify your exhaust to turn your car into an endurance race car, kind of... Hopefully all of our fixes prepare us for the endurance race this year because last year definitely didn't go well with our car lasting only 15 laps until the engine blew up!

You don’t know how much joy you bring to my son and I when we watch you together!! You have came along way !! Been here to see the ride !! Love it !!

Chris, thank you so much for your hospitality when my sons saw you compete at the 24 hours of lemons. You and your crew are AMAZING to your fans. You have been an inspiration to my oldest son Grant. Hard work and dedication can allow you to do anything you set your mind to. Watching your videos helped not only inspire my son to be future mechanic but also helped entertain him when he was battling cancer. I hope all your other fans know how kind hearted you are. My family and I wish you, your family and friends continued success. Thank you!

I used to watch your videos for fun when I was younger, now I watch em to work on my car. Thank you for everything over the years Chris ❤

[fordfocus]

the most inspiration thing Chris does is doing things simple and with most common hand tools. Other channels can do well but workshop level. we love you Chris. Love the soapy wooder too

[ZeroFX]

Wow I appreciate the huge amount of work involved, from filming, editing and taking the time to do so much research, put it in practice and show it in the most cleanest way possible. This is just pure art.

[justgio]

hey chris, been watching for a long time and i just wanted to let you know that i appreciate you. growing up without a father left me with little to no knowledge on cars so when i found your channel i was so grateful there was someone out there helping for free, thank you chris, seriously.

[greateagle]

Man I love how you go into detail with every single little part and component.

[Elhamburitto]

Can't wait to see how it does this year

[thombooth]

Christopher Fixtopher, you and my dad are my inspiration to become a mechanic, and here I am in my apprenticeship learning everything I ever wanted, could not thank you enough for the inspiration. Much love from the UK, you are amazing man, keep up the great work!! ❤

[isaver-jt]

Chris. You've helped so many people over the years. You bring alot of people joy and your quality of videos is unrivaled on YouTube. Keep smashing it

[XaviDaKringeKid]

After watching your videos, I have to say that I've NEVER seen someone so good at planning ahead of time and just being wise overall. Huge inspiration. I do comedy skits now, but down the road I want to actually get into the automotive industry.

[sudheeshv]

Chris's energy is more than the cars horsepower!!

[jaimereyes]

I really was reloading my page just for this video to come out.

[lifeofRyleeG]

Chris this is so cool. I've followed you for years, this feels like home for you. Love the DIY content, love the next level race content as well, if you're not careful you might make me build one like you inspired me to build my truck! Please keep it up!

[catchingayaan]

to think it just started from me searching how to fix a flat tire to litterally having so much watching car reparing videos for 6 years straight already one of my most favorite channels! :D

[tonyswagz]

Thanks for taking us on this journey bro 💯

[CaptainRudy]

If the budget allows, I'd recommend getting an aftermarket oil cooler for the engine for next year.

[hkk]

Haven't been watching videos much lately.
You inspired me to service my car.
Chris, you are so enthusiastic and an inspiration to me.
Thanks!!!

[surroundsoundfreak]

Thanks for all the videos you've done, Chris. I've been able to work on my cars with confidence thanks to you.

The first time I have ever seen Chris fix not use medium strength thread locker. Went straight for the throat on those hub threads. Also. Love that Christmas Story reference at 17:18.
