Here, let me help you with racing car stuff. For a second I definitely had a look like, yeah, that's how I die. Very good. I do n't know what I... No, it's ruined. Oh, you have this elegant laptop. It's all touchscreen and this whole back keyboard. Do you know how much college work I did n't do with that laptop? I do n't know what... I don't want to know what you used this for at university. Not for university work. I more or less imagined it. I didn't do any university work at the university. I use the computer more now than ever before. If I wanted to connect the original computer, I could take the old 6L80 valve body and simply strap it to the chassis rail and connect it. So, you'd have to get out and put it in reverse for the camera to turn on? Not if we took the range selector and configured it on the actual transmission or found the pins that cross. I investigated it. I probably could have made it work, but I ran out of time. I'm watching it with my friend Ian. How are you ? Rearview camera. Damn. Camera down there. The real one. But think of it this way: we're parked with the ignition on right now. So he does nothing. Freedom isn't free, but mullets are when you're my friend. Okay, so where's the range? These are my shopping lists. The lights work more or less. That? Kicker. Of course . Kicker is the best 161 series. It has a bit of power. A bit. A bit. Ready. Ready. I 'm holding on. Yes, that's what I've never seen before. I've never been in a car with you at 100. I'm glad these heads didn't roll on my camera because it was on the floor, just... that's the best roller coaster I've ever been on too, I mean, if I'm on a road I can see and know is straight, I'm good. But when I see a curve and we're going 100, I think, "Okay, here we go. This is going to be fun. This is how I die." I'm glad my hand was like, " Yes." between the indicator and the body. I wish I had a picture of what your face looked like after I hit the brakes. You were like, I wish I had... I'm not going to lie. I was trying to accelerate to get a reaction and I couldn't. I was simply...I was immobilized. I didn't miss by much, but for a second I definitely had a face like, yeah, that's how I do it. That's a railing too. That's the only thing I don't like. The four-wheel drive means this is really to say you didn't feel much of the body lowering or trying to transfer. It was simply two-wheel drive. You feel it, it rises and you can, in a way, it becomes flat. Yes. But in four, it's simply that the driving is completely different from two to four. It's very strange. What do you think? Oh, friend. This is crazy, man. It smells good. Sounds good. All the right sounds and smells. Well, we didn't die. Yes. No, we definitely don't die. That was incredible. After playing around for so long, I finally got to ride this. Yes I know. Only a couple of years have passed . about 3 years later. Yes. I remember when you went to order the turbos and you were on the phone with Precision and they said, "Are you sure you want these turbos? They're the same ones my car has." And I said, "Yes, yes." I don't remember. It was incredible. It's great to see that everything is still together and working. So, the collectors that got lost in the mail. I remember that. You were still angry. Yes. It took me two months to do those things. I didn't know what I was doing . Now I can make collectors in about two days. Even if I ever remove these collectors, they'll just be on the wall somewhere. Yes. That's what I have. That's what I did with the manifolds on my Civic. I finally made a new set and they're hanging on the wall. Are these the same ones I drilled a hole in with the plasma cutter trying to remove that bolt? Yes. Yes, they are. No, that was definitely awesome, man. It's great to finally be able to take a walk, I mean , how long has this been built? Almost 3 years , or almost two full years, because the first ignition was in September of '18. Okay. Yes. So, two years. Oh, it's definitely awesome, man. And the same acceleration body that we cut on the lathe. Yes, I remember that. Yes. We welded and milled it. So, in that way everything is the same. Absolutely great. It's crazy, bro. Good heavens. He has never driven anything with more than 300 horsepower. Yes, I drove his dad's car through the garage parking lot. That's all . There was a time when Ian beat me to this thing. It will never happen again. 300 horsepower. But it happened. And you weren't even driving. Well, not that, the time we did a flying race. Yes. Big Bob driving your car. Yes it 's true. That was the day it exploded, wasn't it? Pretty close. Yes. The day he exploded and never saw the street again. And 5 years later, it still doesn't work. Oh, what's up, man? You see what I mean? There's like a small puddle of oil here. Ah, yes. Each time I do a pass, I just clean it and that's it. But I'm pretty sure it's leaking out there. Do you see that? Or, man, it could be coming out of the sight cover and dripping. I suppose it's possible. I haven't removed the valve cover in a long time either. Yes, it could be. This could just be a small leak here. Let me help you with racing car stuff . What was that? Doing things related to race cars. Yes, I didn't hear it. Then I'll forget about it. The gang will swallow it. I have some straps lying around. I haven't touched the fuel pressure regulator since you adjusted it either. Oh really? I have n't needed it. It's still like it's 40 or something. Is the JC still working? Yes. Yes. I just put the compressors on a toggle switch. Because I didn't want to, it has something weird about it , it doesn't have a traditional pressure switch , so I would have had to set it up as a sensor and all that, and I did n't want to do that, so I just put in a toggle switch. How many times have you left it on? Never. I'm actually very aware of it because it's very cold, so I can feel it, like I'm driving and if I move it, it goes like, yeah, you can feel it. So my old Duramax was always like that, I left that switch on so many times when I went out in the morning. Damn it, the battery is dead. By the way, the heated rear seats work. They get quite hot. Everything works except the instrument panel and the televisions in the ceiling which are no longer there, which still bothers me a little, but I never used them, but it would be great to say that I had them. Yes. Like a roller coaster with heated seats. That's right, my friend. And air conditioning at the front. Keep your hands, legs, and feet. I see. I didn't have a chance to turn on the cold or hot seat because I was watching that thing moving forward. Here we go. I was thinking, "Dude, please no. Please no. Please don't turn around. Turn around." It still has the same battery, too. Oh really? That thing was XS. That thing was completely dead before it even charged, and it's still working. I can't argue with that. No, this battery has been fantastic. I mean, it's XS. What did you expect? Probably the best battery I've ever had. I have some of them. I've never had a problem. You know, I'll say it's something I 'm not used to being in the west, that you have to lock everything up or else it disappears. It's like, it disappears. My dad and I were walking around Ryan Martin's workshop helping him with one of his cars . Well, I left my wallet in my dad's truck. He went to the store or something. He didn't lock the truck. My wallet disappeared. It really disappeared. Everything disappeared. They tried to buy holidays and a bunch of other junk with my cards . I still owe about $600 for that. Oh, hey. It's a shirt that looks good. Who is that guy? You know, the weird thing is that I don't even have one. Oh really? No. You know the ones that have the gas on one side and the brakes on the other. Uh-huh . Yes. They did them that way for a while. Do you want to talk about something uncomfortable? Like, you need to know how to use both feet or you'll go through the windshield or hit someone. But I could put a water bottle on the dashboard. I will drive for 5 hours. It will not move. Oh really? Travel this smoothly. So everything is air suspension? Yes. That's not it. What does it look like? Well, I'm just going to say that it looks to be in very good condition. Like everything else. I'd say from the 90s or very early 2000s. 98 96 which means it was built in late '94, because it was delivered in January '95. Oh, it says so right on the label down there . Oh, and the intercom phone still works. You can call the room. Calling Adrian. Yes. And the doorbell outside works too. I removed the muffler from my dad's truck and it lasted about a week and a half before my mom got furious about the noise. I agree with that because you activate the engine brake at 2,000 when going downhill. Anyone within a 14-mile radius could hear that thing. It was noisy. But it still sounded great. I would have left it like that. I would have put exhaust pipes pointing outwards, big 10-inch speakers, oh yeah. That would have been great. Entering the place. Waking everyone up. Where does the exhaust come out on this one? I hadn't even noticed. Right now it's pointing downwards because the one I made fell off after I accidentally drove onto a dirt road. Have you learned that you have to pay attention to the height markings and all that? I pay attention to the height, but there was roadwork and my GPS told me to turn right. So I said, okay. And then I was already way down that road and it turned into dirt, so I said, I'm toast. I drove two miles on that dirt road in the middle of the part of Oklahoma where there's nothing, like a state. Yes, basically. Yes. It made the screw vibrate until it came loose and broke the flexible hose, and while I was driving I saw sparks and had to pull over. So it's just, what shirt size are you? Oh, great. Big. Oh. Thank you, sir. And you, Ian? Uh, big too. Big. Good. That's the one I have the most of. Of course . Thank you, brother. Bonafonte's action there. Pro torque QA1. You do have to change the lettering on the tires, though. Yes. The next version will say MF hood . Rich. Big and fat. Big and fat. A great place in Kansas City. Freestyle Graphics. It's the same place that does the SCT ones. Yes. I like the material. It's a good shirt. They are very good. I love those clothes. They are comfortable. Are they the kind that shrink? No. Oh, that's great. No, those are some of my favorite shirts in the world. Man, shirts are so difficult. Like good shirts. They are. That's why I remember when he was getting these shirts, man. I told him, "Brother, get those Next Level ones." Yes. So good. I can't even use the normal ones anymore. I feel like I'm wearing a towel. Yes. It's just that I'm like, "I hate those things you buy, they're new, they look good, but you wash them once and you're like, 'Damn, this shrunk to a small size.'" That's what's going to happen. You put it on and say, "Yes, of course not. " to that. No, I definitely understand that. I mean, for the street-level ProChargers. I know , buddy. I love centrifuges. Like the Onion when it had the ProCharger kit. Dude, that thing is really fun. You're cruising along and you just accelerate like, "Hey, I'd prefer a blower to a turbo for everyday use." That's one less thing to worry about. It's much less to deal with because you literally just screw it in, adjust it, and you're done. Without a boost controller, just change the pulley size. Six or eight pounds. I would be happy. Yes. Just for one month. put a one- inch pulley on the damn pulley. What do I say to him, like: "Hey, do you make one-inch pulleys?" I'm going with the boys; it looks like a lathe for small pulleys. Will it fit around the bolt? No. The people who work here, uh, repair bakery equipment, so Mitchell is always bringing them things. They don't speak any English. You just hand it over. I give him something with a marked line. They say, "Here." And I said: "Yes." They say, and he draws a line and then an arrow this way. I say, he says: "Okay." And then he, he cuts it and it looks great every time. I went to take out the trash this morning and the lathe operator was there and said to me, "Friend ." And I was like, "This is the crude." And he arrives here and John appears, he has just met Adrian. He says, "Oh, we'll just put you in the other office." Like, they had never opened this door until I arrived. That? And she took my suitcase again. I put her here when we left. She blew my...I'm going to have to buy Mitchell another one. Did she, did she blow that one up too? No, not yet. The roof is still being pushed down. Easy access. That's where they drop things. That's the hole in the alarm clock. I'm sorry . Well, we broke it. Trying to leave the parking lot. Wait, what is this? What do you mean by "us"? Everything was fine until you arrived. Yes, that's not my fault. I wasn't driving. Well, I don't know why. We didn't touch anything at all. No, it was in four-wheel drive. I went to reverse and wanted to put it on two wheels so it wouldn't get stuck when turning, I pulled the lever and it just went further back than it should have. It 's now in neutral. The transfer case is in neutral and won't go back into gear. I don't know how the linkage works in a pickup truck. All I know is that there's a piece with a ball where something used to connect, and that's what I press. Now that's well thought out. Yes. Well, I have one, I have a yellow line marked there. That means it's rear-wheel drive. So , just to make sure you don't try to go out in 4x4 low. Yes. I have never, ever tried to put 4x4 in low range. All I know is that 4x4 high is all forward and rear-wheel drive is a click backward. Let me tell you something, it would be great to try it, that's for sure. It would break. I mean, it would be great for a couple of seconds. It would be, it would be great for about sixty centimeters and then... the shaft would shoot out. I know people who have tried that, like Gary Harris from Drag Week, who said, "Don't put it in 4x4 low. It's going to break. I tried it. Pieces went flying everywhere." So you're guided by their experience. Yes. He...I learned a lot from that guy. We'll see. Well, if you move in 4x4 low range , maybe it will unlock itself, because I think it's just stuck. We'll see. That's 4x4 low. It's funny. I think you can tell when you put it in gear . Yes, that's it...1000%4x4 low. When you put the truck in 4x4 low, you have to press the brake very hard while moving slowly. You need to shift into power gear. It's like... It was definitely still stuck. I can feel the front working against her. Yes. Hey, that's great. Good. So, yes. Can you put your yellow line? Well, I can't see it, but I pushed it all the way forward and clicked back. It should be fine. I had to do this because that 's not neutral. No, I had to do this to get to the line earlier. I thought, "Oh dear, I'm still on two wheels." So, I put on my helmet and everything just before going into the water. I just jump, I throw myself to the ground, I do something there. People probably think, " What is he doing? I don't know." They're probably thinking, "Oh yeah. Look. This is going to be good." Don't ask questions. Stop getting closer to the line. Yes. I have to have my music. I can't live without XM. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere in the country without, literally, Octane, Lithium, Pop Rocks, Pop 2K. I've traveled many kilometers listening to every song they've played there. I was traveling with you when I started listening to Octane, because I was fed up with the same old thing and I said, this station is pretty good. Octane is the best. Octane and Turbo. Yes. I liked it when Turbo came out. I can no longer listen to hip-hop stations. Simply no, they're disgusting. I was an artist and they were disgusting. No , it was good from 2006 until 2014 or 2015, but around 2015 to 2016 it started to change and now it looks like they came out of a Marilyn Manson video and stuff like that. I thought we forgot about Ian because he doesn't say anything. Here I am. I'm falling asleep with his dad's car so quiet. Do you like that? That whirring of that giant fuel pump running at full power all the time. I love everything. Is it still the A1000? It's the Aeromotive 5 L. of the five right there. Yes, that fuel tank hasn't come out since I installed it. Oh, really? Uh-huh . I checked a large truck. I checked the filter once last winter. I had nothing. Oh. We're right here to get all the fuel.
