This series is so nice. There are already channels with lambos and ferraris and they're good. But I feel like many people can better relate to projects like this.
I am kinda bummed out. I thought that if I had a little bit time and money that I could buy a banger and make it into wicked dedicated track car. Not anymore.
I once set off a fire extinguisher in a customer’s car because it was one of those electronically valves ones with a button on the dash, which I thought was the starter button. He was a lot less amused than my boss.

Actually in the history of racing, lots of teams have gone to extreme lengths to cheat on performance when the stakes were high. A lot of rules came about as a result of restricting such things.
Pro tip - Use a red solo cup on the oil filter once you've loosened it to both grab it, and catch all oil that falls out of it while unscrewing to keep oil off your hands. Little trick I picked up while owning an EJ255 Subaru!
We're both used to slipping our tools into tight spaces, yes got that... 15:55 "that little job will bring a bunch of stiffness into the rear end." thanks guys, sprayed my coffee over that one. 😆😆
This series is inspiring, not to say addictive. Just got the cutoff switches and fire extinguisher set up made up (with a few extra brackets) for my racer. Which is a horse, and darn difficult to weld to..
For the hood pin install, instead of nicely marking the inside of the hood like that, I will install the pin on the chassis then just drop the hood on it make a nice dent to drill out :D
I have a friend that clearanced his hood for an engine swap the same way. The V6 came out alright, and the V8 fit between the fenders just fine. It wasn't until it was all hooked up and running that we realized we needed a little more room right ..... HERE! (bang) and it fit perfectly ever since.
Can't wait guys!! Always get a thrill watching Nick fabricate and Rick narrate ! If only you guys knew how much joy you bring me. Tough times in South Africa at the moment and you two bring a welcomed distraction. Thank you guys ...REALLY!! For all these years of Youtubing magic.

I once worked on a Cooper S in 1970 as an apprentice mechanic. The engine was built and sealed by a "firm" in Blackpool. It was driven by Iain Tweedy in the British RAC rally. I got a go in it with a temporary 850 engine in it and brakes as hard as a whores heart. Still loved it. It was Scotland blue with a Saltire on the roof. I can still remember it clear as a bell.
@@mikeygti8930 it is what it is,as they said initially there are twats with double-triple that into a racing sim gaming rig....i know the path i would take
That's why I don't race. I very much thought that I wanted to until I realized I would spend more than $10k for the privilege of occasionally driving a no-longer-legal-or-comfortable E36 around the state on a trailer and sometimes tracks. I figured the same money is better spent on a nice-ish car that I can drive whenever instead. Such is life, I suppose. I did really want that race car, though.
"We are both used to sliding our tools into tight spaces"...had me chuckling loudly and, since im using headphones, had the wife looking at me like i'd just had a stroke.
This is literally the best youtube series I have ever watched. Highlighting all the little things everyone else glosses over gave me so much insight I never had before.

@@smartin2174 The Austin Metro very nearly did have plastic wheels. The idea was rejected fairly late in the development by the lawyers as it was difficult to assess damage caused by impact. Carry on.
A good friend of mine "helped" me install some suspension components by shearing a bolt in the a-arm that we needed for a critical bracket. Drill and tap or weld back together? Captive bolt.

Oh no I appear to have misplaced the original washers, I'll just have to use these 'slightly' thicker ones xD This made my day boys. Although the tool joke was nice and slippery as well.
Since stiffness is generally recognised as the product of the member's young's modulus (pascal or N/m^2) and its second moment of inertia (m^4) one may postulate that the resulting SI unit is Nm^2 (newton square metres) but that's a mouthful so I agree, let's just stick with "a bunch"
I am afraid you are mistaken Mr Brunning. It is a well know fact that the (ctrl-i) Système international (ctrl-i) unit of measurement of 'Bunch' is the collective term for some Bradys (ie. 6 or 8 Bradys depending on your point of view) As for adding a bunch of stiffness, Marcia Brady immediately comes to mind
Done both and yes, slow car fast in anger is definitely the challenge. Maintaining momentum over a whole course is not as easy as mashing the go pedal at the right apex point to launch down the next straight. You have to use the whole course in mind, as long as those clods around you aren't getting underfoot. *_;-D_*
Can't blame you for asking about moving the factory airbox to the boot floor. I remember a time in Australia where cars had to retain all their options - including a/c - so some competitors had the a/c compressor and condenser bolted down in the passenger-side footwell.
Wondering how many young people will even know what the series title refers to: Bargain Basement. There aren't many bargain basement sales any more. I went to one when I was young, maybe around 1970~ish. It was in the basement of Sears. That's how we could afford a washer & dryer. They were "scratch & dent" sales! 😅

Bargain Basement deals have entered the vernacular quite a while ago. I know what it means even though I never knew there was an actual Bargain Basement until just now.
On this side of the pond, most of the major manufacturers have outlets where they sell these items. It means they don't have to write off the entire cost of any superficially damaged goods.
To put the airbag lamp out try using 501 gapless bulbs and straighten the tabs and fit to the connectors. Airbag resistance is around about 3 ohms as is the 501 bulbs and should put the airbag lamp out. Hope this helps👍 keep up the good work lads!

I knew you guys knew your shit when it comes to this, but the thing that really just blew me away was at the 15:38 mark where he's using an allen wrench behind the rear strut mount to hold the washer in place so he can get the bolt thru it. I'm using that one at work.
Ok just work this out after 5 years of watching This is the classic English duo we all love Just like Walis and Gromit Richard and Eddie on and on it goes its Brilliant
@ 15:50 If you needed more space for the rear coil over springs, you could flip the bolts so the heads are on the outside, giving plenty of clearance for the spring. May have to get creative with sneaking the bolts around the coil overs, though.

I knew you guys knew your shit when it comes to this, but the thing that really just blew me away was at the 15:38 mark where he's using an allen wrench behind the rear strut mount to hold the washer in place so he can get the bolt thru it.
I'm using that one at work.
I went to school with Marginal Gains, lovely girl. 😁
I went to school with a Kaye Cole, she had lovely one.
I love the momentum you've got on this - you're clearly having fun!
First!
OOh no I appear to have misplaced the original washers! :D :D :D best comment in the video
Love the Mighty Car Mods style pulling the front bumper off 😂
Ok just work this out after 5 years of watching This is the classic English duo we all love Just like Walis and Gromit Richard and Eddie on and on it goes its Brilliant
CITY CAR CUP RACE is such a South Park name! Love it x)
15:55 Good to see two lads enjoying bringing stiffness into the rear end :)
@ 15:50 If you needed more space for the rear coil over springs, you could flip the bolts so the heads are on the outside, giving plenty of clearance for the spring. May have to get creative with sneaking the bolts around the coil overs, though.
I'm absolutely loving this regular new content!
I refused to snigger when you said "we are used to getting our tools in tight places" honest!
I used redline oils on my mrk3 supra. great stuff.
Good luck on the race Richard! As for you Nick, I'm looking forward to all the brackets you make while Richard is away at the track.
