This was great, had no idea what this process entailed but this was insightful. Would be great to see more other aspects of the motor industry like this

Thanks for coming guys, was a pleasure to work with you on this! 🙌🏻

[Ffug]

Beautiful! I could watch this all day!

I work for ECUmaster U.K. and Matt honestly makes some absolutely lovely looms, they are well worth the money and he’s quite clued up on the technical side of the Engine management too. If you want the real deal, this guy is the stuff!

I just love to see people working that are actually great at what they do, it´s becoming a disturbingly rare sight from my personal experience...

[mgtf]

Wow. A man who settles for perfection. Great job 👍

I manufacture/repair cables similar to these for the military, I'm a technician but this guy is an artist! Such impressive attention to detail.

[TheGinger]

Really enjoyed that. A work of art that you normally don't get to see.

I was LITERALLY just teaching a student of mine electronics a few days ago and I used the exact same water analogy to help him understand voltage and current.

[JACKKO]

So satisfying looking at these works of the art process

[badtzlotus]

amazing OCD level to the max! I want that in my lotus

[jerrellkull]

Very nice work. Where do you source your components? I haven't found a suitable place yet. Automotive wiring is only intimidating as you let it be. Take care, and never stop learning.

[supercarowners]

Amazing work. Beautifully put together video. Thank You!

[Alex-rnmn]

This videos are top notch keep them up

[g-funk]

Good to know I'm not the only one with ocd on wiring
