Wish I would’ve seen the info on lowering springs before I did them to my car and blew the shocks 💀

[kmemz]

My shocks are already blown so lowering springs can't make it worse 😂
Additionally, I'd like to add thatit's not a bad idea to have cheap tires with low grip as a spare set you put on when you go out for a track day early on, so you can get a feel for what losing grip is like, and putting good tires on when you go back home so that you have that buffer on public roads to make up for what you still have to learn.

I fully agree with improving your skills as a driver, my car only makes 130hp from factory (when it was new), but Ive had it up to 120-135ish, and its humbled me, I consider myself a decent driver and every time I do over 100 in my car, it reminds me that theres always room to learn to be a better driver

Stoptech and Powerstop is honestly one of the best brands if youre looking for a basic brake Pad upgrade. Plus it'll give you an idea of what braking power youre looking for, and what you can plan to acquire in the future

Episode Idea: How about looking at common performance mods and how they impact gas mileage on daily drivers? Some of us have 300+HP daily drivers that we wouldn't mind going from bad gas mileage to not-quite-as-bad gas mileage. Specifically, which mods both up power AND help fuel economy when daily driving, and which mods add power but wreck fuel economy.

You could have mentioned weight reduction as a cheap mod, don’t know if it counts because you’re taking stuff off your car but it sure can be cheap

[XplorinWithPaul]

1:49 that whole sentence is accurate af😂😂

Improving the tactile feel is always a better bet than improving power. I have an older Kawasaki 250 Ninja, the ultimate beginner’s bike. Putting an exhaust, K&N and a dynojet tune on it did feel nice. But the adjustable rearsets and the Lindemann custom valved suspension completely changed it from a beginner’s bike to a stonking backroads weapon. Braided brake lines also make a huge difference.

installed canned tuna into my car and now my car smells like fish, hardly even increased my horsepower either, total scam.

[joshuagibson]

Bladed, thefact that you have Hanabi playing as your background music brings me an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Great video BTW!

[FerrariGTO]

As an MTB rider i can confirm, pads matter A LOT, because they change the temperatures at wich your brakes will still perform well. I don't know about car compounds but i'd assume it's close enough.

The throttle body spacer got its roots in carburetor spacers, that did actually boost hp and torque. Today tbs are only good because most have a threaded port for a sensor or methanol injection.
I have a car with cheap coilovers and another with drop springs. Drop springs definitely ride better but the Raceland coilovers aren't bad and I can't complain about them!

[christopherlowery]

Bladed,
You should probably caveat that the more mods you add to your car, the harder email tunes become. Mainly because your setup is now very unique. It is then very hard to find a vehicle that has all the same mods installed to build a dyno tune against. To your point though, for a mostly stock build, email tunes are great for the reasons you outlined. You can still do a lot with a remote tune even if your car is mostly custom. A remote tune was used to resolve a hard to start when cold issue on my car, which is far from stock. I look at remote tunes as being the differnece between a technician working on your computer remotely and locally. It really depends on whats needing to be done and how familiar the technician is with your build.

8:20 or you can just install Linux (free) buy a OBD cable (10$), reflash the factory ECU and then proceed to blow up the engine cuz you have no idea what are you going xd
Edit: I wrote OCD instead of OBD for some reason

[ethanglinsky]

Bro I’ve been following you since you were in college lmao things have changed so much and so little over the time and keep getting coming, keep it up please

[firetablet]

I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

[sivabalanj]

I learn a lot of things from your videos, even though I can't afford a car for years to come,
I will work my way to get and enjoy a financially friendly and fun enough car/any moving vehicle in future.

That last point about driver mod: while I have not taken a class on paper, backroad testing has kept me from some dangerous situations that bad drivers on the road have caused.

One: I have had a fully loaded semi decide to merge into me without checking (literally just started moving over as soon as I saw their blinker), and I had to use the sholder heavily to avoid being squashed. This happened at 80mph on the freeway.

Two: I've also had to do evasive lane changes from unpredictable cars, and knowing how you and your car handles a sudden lane change is critical.

You should add oil drain valves to the list. It replaces the oil drain plug for super easy oil changes. I got the Fumoto valve for about $30 USD. I now do my own oil changes in less than 30 minutes
