    I want to see the lighting so bad. It’s officially the most abandoned legit street truck on earth.

    You have a lot of faith in the straightness of Home Depot wood lol.
  • I have to say that your content is not only informative but always fun to watch. I am now retired but I still love to learn, even though I haven’t twisted a wrench since around 2012 and left the automotive industry. I retired due to an injury early and now I let my son in law who is a mechanic at a dealership take care of most of my needs. Thanks again for the great content.

    I would really, really not use a chunk of wood for decking a head. Its going to be no where near flat and could cause major problems. The proper way to diy it is using a chunk of tempered glass. Ive done it before and got the head to under 2 thou across the deck.

    Anybody wait for Saturday morning for these to drop? I feel like this is like my new version of old school Saturday morning cartoons.

    28:23 You can change the starter with the intake manifold on. Have to fish it in from the side but it’s better than removing the whole intake manifold. Definitely a good “while you’re in there” replacement!
  • Alex , i had to clean the base and head gasket on a trx 250r i rebuilt a few years ago and it had to clean that gasket material off and taking it to a shop wasnt happening . It took me hours to pick that crap off . And in the bottom of the cylinder it was near impossible so i experimented and found that soaking it in Creoil penatrant absolutely made it a breeze to get off . Hope this may help anyone that may not have alot of options they may try that . I know its not car related but i spent a lot of time restoring and tinkering with motocross atv’s and dirtbikes . Cant wait for an update on the lightning .

    I had a ‘95 Eclipse GST for 25 years and it only had 83K miles when I sold it because it was in the shop so much due to the infamous “crank-walk.” I literally just rid of it about a year ago.

  • Lets Gooooooooo!!!! A car thats done over 386,000kms, its realy nice. Love these cars, was going to buy one myself a while back in Australia.
  • DSM life, more time in the shop than on the street but for those 5 minutes every couple months that they do work, perfection. lol

    A common upgrade is the s90 throttle body. They are a very nice upgrade but out of the box they are known to leak due to the lack of seals. I personally rebuild them and am well known on the FB groups for this service. I used to rebuild the OEM units as well but being they are getting so old and beat up it was beginning to be not worth my time with them. If you are interested in an s90 rebuild service feel free to reach out, I would be more than happy to help out.
