Best automotive channel on YouTube. Edits might not be as flashy as some others, but the expertise and on-camera personalities are second to none!

The price tracking 😍 That type of organization and information is a

You guys are my favorite build channel by far. You explain each interesting step, but also know how to edit to keep things moving. Love it!

[EldePHX]

People keep sleeping on y’all’s channel. You guys deserve more subs and views 🔥🔥

$2000? it instantly started out at $3k... what? is this not part 1 or something lol?

[casefcs]

I may be the exception here, but I definitely care how they perform far more than how they look xD
Gotta get some FluidFilm Black on that underbody!
And I don't typically get too hung up on most parts, but every single K-Tuned piece looks to be of extremely high quality. Props to a company with a high attention to detail and polish.

awww man that EK is giving the teen inside me all kinds of feelz. I have a Zo6 and i still dream about an EK k swapped all motor beast. These days you can make 280 wheel reliably and reasonably priced. All in a 2100lbs honda. Epic...

So, I’m an aircraft mech and here’s what you can do to strip that thing in 10 minutes. Invest in a media/grit blaster which you may already have and run plastic beads through it. It will take off all of the paint and primer leaving the metal and even its conversion coating undisturbed. Plastic media is used on aluminum alloy and of course anything harder. It’s not as good for thorough corrosion removal but will remove some.

I used SmartStrip advanced paint remover to do my valve cover, and while not as effective as aircraft paint remover, it is pretty decent. It's also odorless and biodegredable, so you can do it inside a garage. I found it at Rona for about 30$

Hey guys! FYI I did the valve cover on my own "ass2000" last year and I stripped it with "Dominion Sure Seal High Strength Paint Stripper." I'm Canadian too and grabbed it at the local crappy tire. In the body shop section. Worked perfectly. Probably took some days off my life but it was very fast! Keep up the great videos!

[noahvelasquez]

Keep up the good work! Love the K swap, I personally have stuck to k series so I'm really looking forward to the B series build!

[errowjezzy]

[battyboomfatty]

I love watching your content because I always think you do the builds "right" even when doing it on a budget!

[KrzyVids]

Great work!! It’s about all of it, the build, how they look and how they perform. We all strive for the show and go just maybe without all the chrome lol

[sieve]

I love this kind of content where you show each step, but quickly. Looks great on my end.

[g-mane]

That scene with Pete putting on parts. Soo relaxing to watching with that badass smooth music. Lol

[papalasagna]

Extra thanks for the mention about the Puhn’s Brake Handbook, I’m always learning from you guys and it looks like this will be worth the read!

[luislozano]

Performance > looks for me. So glad the YouTube algorithms threw me this series. Loving it so far and already subbed 🙌🏼

[chrisboboshears]

Great video! Putting the description and prices in is a game changer!
