I feel really stupid.
I just realized these new series ARE the new money pit.
My favorite.

[Ragnarok]

I think I actually preferred this "directors cut" to the individual episodes. With my *cough* bad attention span, I find myself skipping alot in videos. I didn't skip through anything here, it was so cohesive and well put together. Great job guys, you just made a movie!

@36:56, I've seen a lot of guys use heat to bring plastics back to black. Works until it doesn't. Brings the plastic oils up to the surface, but if you don't supplement those oils, the plastics can become faded again, but even more brittle.

The flow in this video was amazing, i sat through the whole thing absolutely TRANSFIXED to the screen, I didn't notice how long the video was when i hit play and only noticed how long it was at about the hour mark. it was brilliant.
I will certainly be watching more of these director cuts in the future.

Hey people may be “bitching” that it ain’t a new episode and I get that, but i appreciate this directors cut with more detail and depth. The whole point is since I can’t enjoy doing this myself due to lack of money/space/time at least being able to watch someone else get to clearly just enjoy themselves. It’s not content for sake of content but content that you enjoy making. That’s the true purpose, what is art without soul? Thank you for some sort of episode at least help me pass time while I’m stuck in bed because of my back.

Is anyone else getting these Allstate ads where this agent is being a fucking menace and causing accidents 😭

[mangojayyy]

Don't forget that Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry’s and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.

[Youngsoldier]

I'm still wondering why they didn't turbo it

[profeesional]

the best part of this build had to be the strut brace, the strut brace by cusco, the strut brace specifically designed and built by cusco, cuscos strut brace.

that strut brace

When you think a new video dropped but it’s just a compilation

[Wayneyeo]

Best 1hr 17min of my life watching you guys rebuilt this Honda Civic! The K20 engine roaring and exhaust were music to my ears and made my goosebumps up. Thanx guys for the wonderful video

[davidmorse]

Donut is by far the most watchable car enthusiast channel on YouTube! I just love the way this Honda build came along. Flat out inspirational for all us Donut Wannabes!
Keep this incredible content coming!

[nickmcpimpson]

1 hour of footage I've already mostly seen. I'm in

[nicholasspecialmusic]

I wish you guys were like an HGTV show where you do this to rando's cars. I got a '99 Tacoma for you to dump $75k into 💀💀

[AR-jzlp]

I'm primarily here for motorcycle content but I watch everything you put out. Maybe not what I'm into, but I like the way you present info and dive into things. Do what you like and I'll keep watching. I like the info from a reliable and unbiased source.

[FernandoGarcia-tthg]

As someone who hasn’t kept up with all the videos this compilation is much appreciated!

Drum brakes “annoying to work on” is the understatement of the century

[JordanPeisner]

just a little heads up for the k20, if you’re going to be tracking it a lot I would recommend putting in a baffled oil pan because the k series motors are super susceptible to oil starvation when in higher g corners, like the track/canyons. I have a fully built k20 and It blew the first time because of that exact problem. Ik you guys are gonna do whatever with it but it would def help out if you’re going to be trying to track it often. Great work tho 🍾❤️

[Yucky_eyeball]

The strut brace. The strut brace by Kuzco, the brace specifically made to stabilize the civic made by Kuzco. The Kuzco brace. That brace?

[xHEYxITSxME]

THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST CAR ENTHUSIAST CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE. I have learned so much from this awesome group of guys. I enjoy all the content they produce. THANKS DONUT FOR GIVING IT THE BEANS, AND ALSO ALWAYS PROVIDING NOTHING BUT THE BEST
