Parents at their 30s:

Tired of where new cars are going. We should just start our own car company. Ideal can start a kickstarter and subscribers will be investors.

Brad, this is like the 3928635th video you made about "cheap" cars

[rodneyramos]

I learned to track and race in bmw's and Miata. 30 years track experience. Occasionally doing time in Porsches. I had the opportunity to race a well prepped CRX. Absolutely awesome. Tearing up bmws, Miata's, vw's. So much so, I'm going to get one!

[EUPHORICSAINTMUSIC]

Got my hands on the I6 Altezza and it's been amazing. Had to put in a new front suspension because those lower ball joints can be a draaag and got a new T/belt too but yup, I agree with you guys, the thing is a proper daily! Mad respect all the way from Zimbabwe

Choosing the right car to tune is really more important than what you do to it. Push the easy button and get stellar results.

[DizzleDProductions]

You had two of my picks I was debating between the last few months. The CRX and the IS300. I decided to go with the IS300 because its RWD and not FWD.

[Gogetatenks]

Im trying to revive the Scion Tuner Scene but maaaan is it hard. I also really like the Saab-o-you RX idea!

[samstrawn]

For sure the mustang for me also !!!! Ice got a 2014 mustang and your so right there's a ton of upgrades I just bought a hellon twin turbo setup SICK !!!

[johnnymurray]

Thank you for the video. I'm going to get a Mustang!!!!

My dudes, you guys knocked this one out of the park! Awesome vid.
You had me at I6 2JZ. You also gave me a reason to want an E36... sorta. That comment about doing an LS swap makes me recoil back to the IS 300 idea. I'm glad the MR2 was on this list, but I would still take a miata over that thing. If the car was supercharged, I could get behind the wheel easy enough. But adding a turbo to it sounds like a death sentence. Turbo spool+snap oversteer = grafted tree branch. I'm pushing 266whp in my miata, easily giving one of those a run for its money around the track. I'm good on the MR2 train. However, I've always loved the styling of the 80s and 90s year models. Maybe if I counter-balanced the front.
I loved the inclusion of the CRX and DelSol. While I've never been a fan of the DelSol's styling, these cars are absolutely like legos to put together. If I only had the money to seriously mod my civics when I had them. The work would be cake.
As for the Mustang, I'd have to add an LSD, a rear independent suspension, and some seriously fat tires on the back before I try to run 10s down the 1/4mi in one of those. Those cars just have torque for days. Unless all that power is put to the ground, expect a lot of funny business in the rear end. Like, the crowd control and life ending kind. The stock rear tires can't even handle the stock power. Slap some 305s on the rear of a GT as step 1.

Overall, this vid made my heart sing. Finally we step into the tuner space.
Since we're on the topic of mods, maybe a video series on what mods to add to what car. For instance, all the mods needed to keep an EJ's head gaskets from leaking, or the engine destroying itself from oil starvation. Likewise, you could do the same with an E36. Pitfalls, dos and don'ts, what to watch out for, what's a guaranteed repair item, etc.
The sky is the limit on these topics. I just think the majority of the crowd is a little burdened with the X best cars list trend.

Keep up the good work gents!

(As a side note, looking up common issues with the WRX led me to a random website with the ideal vid "The best Subaru WRX generation..." thought it was funny)

Please do a version.for southafricans that can withstand potholes

[reeceweitz]

Hi ideal, please make a video that that involves cars internationally as some cars on the list is very rare in South Africa

The BMW Z3. I got my 1999 BMW Z3 Roadster for 2.6k and it runs perfectly at 300k miles, so its reliable, it sounds amazing, could push hella power with a single turbo, weighs about as much as a turtle.

[valherustinger]

videos like this is the reason secondhand car market is on the rise thats why Ive found another cheap car to mod and not telling anyone about it LOL. I like buying them cheap and love the parts still being the price of peanuts lol. But when im done with my project im gonna blast it all over the net on how to replicate it and continue the trend lol.

[plektosgaming]

I have a 2013 Mustang and it's a serious beast of a car with just some minor mods. Nothing insane, either. The V6 and V8 are stupidly strong engines with tons of mods available. Just do remember that the reason everyone crashes at cars and coffee is because they turn the traction control off. It's not truly "off, , so it will re-engage, grab, and then send you sideways. There is a special method to actually turn it into the equivalent of track mode, requiring you to de-pin one of the connectors, which will cause the entire system to fail to boot up and throw a ton of error codes on the dash. Then it's actually OFF. (yes, there is no "track mode" option - thanks, Ford) But then it will be safe for track and drag strip use. Many people, as you can imagine, have a switch installed as a racing mod.

[Fossillarson]

Hope u purchase extended warranty. Especially for the is300 lol 😅

[julianvasquez]

Just got my 2007 c6 vette(LS2 version). I want to go turbos routes but just don’t know which kit and wheel setup to use

[mutt]
