Electric fan conversion for my E36 M3 - Keeping a tracked M3 from overheating
After the mechanical fan shredded during an autocross in fall 2020, I decided to take on converting the E36 M3 over to an electric fan. The project snowballed into a radiator replacement, ducting, and additional bodywork.
The electric fan conversion kit I used:
www.turnermotorsport.com/p-554687-turner-electric-fan-conversion-e36-bmw-091995/
All the other misc mounts, hoses, and brackets came from Bimmerworld, highly recommend them.
The coolant reservoir relocation bracket came from Turtle Laboratories (a little big for my tank but high quality):

This is the Mishimoto radiator I eventually bought (spoilers, and this is the only affiliate link in here):

Turning my FJ 100 Land Cruiser into a tow rig
มุมมอง 5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Can a Toyota FJ 100 Land Cruiser make a good tow vehicle? Yes, but if yours is like mine, there's probably a lot of maintenance and baselining needed to make sure you can tow easily and safely. This video follows about a year of maintenance projects and my brief thoughts on how well the LC handles hauling the M3 autocross car and Rav4 beach cruiser. Don't buy OEM Land Cruiser heater Ts! These a...
MK7 GTI 30,000 mile review - Selling the best daily driver I've ever had
มุมมอง 7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
We bought this 2017 VW GTI Performance Pack brand new a few years ago. It's been a wonderful car and we've loved it. We're selling it, so in this video I review the car and how we've enjoyed it as a sporty, comfortable, feature-packed daily driver over the past 30,000 miles and 3 years.

2020 ND2 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF - I'm a tall driver and I fit!

This summer we picked up a 2020 Mazda MX-5 Miata GT RF, and one of my biggest concerns was whether or not I'd be comfortable in it. I couldn't find many videos of other tall drivers, so this is an extended drive-and-talk where I run through how this can is working out for me.

Buying an E36 M3 - One of my dream cars!
มุมมอง 1.7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
One of my realistic dream cars has always been an E36 M3. My first car was a 1992 E36 325i, and I fell in love with how smooth and refined it was, even for an older car. This M3 has been moderately prepped and should be a lot of fun. This video covers buying the car, catching it up on some maintenance, making modifications so I fit properly, and finally some preliminary racing.
The Rav4 gets a sound upgrade...and I find rust
มุมมอง 1.8K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Our 1999 Toyota Rav4 2-door soft-top has had bad sound for years. What was supposed to be a simple speaker upgrade turned into a 14 month slog through rust, picky inspection shops, weird wheel hubs, and more things that are par for the course in keeping an old unicorn on the road. I've been buying from Crutchfield for almost 20 years, they're the best place to buy car audio equipment. Their res...
