I love the 2021 version of commerce. Influencers influence and suppliers are smart enough to listen. Thanks for having the balls to call it like you see it. And thanks to RPM for being responsive. It’s a win for everyone!
after what happened with Westen I definitely don't blame you for getting the big security doors to try and keep people who don't belong out of your warehouse/shop

My sister has one of those cars. She has serviced it religiously and it has almost 200,000 California highway miles on it. It's been a great car for her and it's surprisingly quick too. Hers is Sunburst Yellow and you can see that thing coming from a mile away.
A roofing company should have copper flashing in 12" wide rolls and could cut you off a foot. That might be worth checking out if you need to make a copper gasket in the future. Another good video as always.
WTG! I'm Glad you were able to get the company to make it a complete kit! Hopefully they follow through with their pledge. The Garage is looking great! I cant wait until the LOFT is done!
I have to admit that after watching that 1st video I was thinking; oh-oh (It was posted to a few different FB Kappa Groups). So it's good to know that a positive outcome took place over your feedback. The Kappa community is very small compared to more popular enthusiast vehicles, so we really need the help of vendors that continue to support our platform.
Someone in my neighborhood was selling what appears to the same Redline and I really considered buying it but he wanted all the money plus so I just had to walk away. Now I see Gabe cruising around and really wish I bought it.
Well, I'd call that a success. Company is a bit mediocre. Company gets called out. Company responds with a significant upgrade. New users benefit. Win!
Congrats on getting a good change through your video. Bet they were jumping at the chance to improve and delete those clips, since a ton of folks follow you.
Drove by shop on way home as I always do. Saw door open and thought JR'S in there! Lol. But can't be that guy who just walks up lol. The caddy said hello 😆 btw
Wished there was a follow up on a dyno to see the RWHP numbers. The shop I go to did a factory stock Solstice GXP and it did close to 265 if you round up the numbers
Found a Saturn Sky Red line in North Carolina (manual) in North Carolina with 42k Need some time off work to make the deal.... I'll install the same kit. Thank you.
I am here commenting to help you John Ross. You should never delete a video, and reupload a second version. Why? Because the engagement on that new video will be lower, and TH-cam will consequently lowers your ability to showcase your video on the home page and suggestions. This will reduce your ability to earn new subscribers. My advice is to reach out to companies before the video gets out, searching for an answer, and only release the video either after they get back to you, or after a week or so go by. I leaved this video playing, liked it, and commented it to help you. But not everyone will do that. Thus, my advice is not to delete a video, and never reupload a new version of the same video.
@@JohnDoe-zr6bk well sorta... they are slightly off on that. GM owned Opel for a long time and took a lot of their designs (e.g. 1965 1st Gen Opel GT Prototype was made into the 1970s Corvette) and rather than continue to import Opels under Buick, Saturn was born. The Opel Speedster was built off of the Lotus Elise Platform whereas the 2d Gen Opel GT became the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice. Cheers!🍻😉👍🏼
Does the cruise control work on that xTerra? It went out on my old QX4...apparently it's an issue with a solenoid that fails. Never had this happen with another vehicle.
you probably found out that the "big wheel" turbo doesn't add any HP. all it does is stop the high rpm fall off the stock one does. The additional hp you got was from the tune and the tune alone. You could have gotten the extra ponies without replacing the turbo
I have Trifecta "Budget Tune" installed in my Solstice GXP. They had a sale on the tune plus special cable ($200 total) I still have stock intake and exhaust so just tune by itself. The best $200 I ever spent. Supposed to add 40 ponies but feels like more 💪 (perhaps way more torque). Pressing the master cruise control button also selects between OEM tune and new tune so just by pushing a button it's more power on demand. 👍 Had mine 7 years so far and only failure has been the turn signal stalk. So tune, frame braces, upgraded tires and it totally transformed the car into best bang o buck sports car on the planet IMHO but prices keep rising so get them while you can.
@@richardsilva5134 Hi there! The part numbers should be in the video description. I understand that RPM is going to start including them in the kits but I don’t know if they have begun this yet.
that's very good of the company to look and listen and do changes - well done to them
thats good at least they saw your video and took some notes.

Good on RPM for making this right, not just for Gabe but future customers as well.
JR and Gabe are hilarious with all their silly inside jokes and stuff.

Gabe practicing his TV spokesperson skillz...
Congrats on 300k JR, 500k right around the corner.
Respect to them, wish more companies listened
After they got called out
That is great to hear that they are improving the kit. Glad they took constructive criticism the correct way.
Someone in my neighborhood was selling what appears to the same Redline and I really considered buying it but he wanted all the money plus so I just had to walk away. Now I see Gabe cruising around and really wish I bought it.
Keep looking. They really are terrific cars!
Congratulations on reaching 300k subscribers.🔥👊👏

Excellent. Great news. Sorry for having to redo it, but it's important to be fair to vendors when they respond to criticism.

Nice tour, Kansas World Of Wheels is shaping up. Did we upgrade to turbo diesel fresh from a newer F250? Welcome back Jake, and love the old Pontiac.
Hell yeah its back up! Different kind of car, different kind of company! 😁😁🚀🚀

I think that was the only video I didn't watch of yours. Sweet!
JR GO is the SH$T!!!!
You're going to be in PHX tomorrow??? That sucks! I have to work. Keep up the great vids!!!!!
Is that a C6 Z06 I see in the back ground? You haven't even done anything with the C5 yet.
wonder when JR going to get a rolling road for the shop
That would be awesome! All these trips to Mexico for testing are wearing me out!
Damn man you're gonna be in Phoenix just in time for the first hot days of the year. Wear something comfortable
Where and how long are you going to be in Phoenix?
Any time for the Phoenix chapter of Watch JRGOo fan club to get a meet and greet?
I’m waiting for Gabe’s Opel GT. What going on with it?
It’s still on the rotisserie. Gonna hit it hard this summer.
The power of the internet. Cool.
In the right hands it’s powers can be used for unlimited good...😉👍🏼
I like the Karate Kid shirt your buddy Gabe is wearing in your video
I was hoping the update would show you ripping on it a bit. Still doesn't though :(
Thanks for those links to the parts!
i Have an 08 Sky Redline. Stock Turbo I did 296 to the Wheels and 353 Tq.
Wait! Where are you going to be on Friday? I'm in the Phoenix area!

Am I the only one who saw this & thought it was an April Fool's gag???
Can i buy your stock intercooler
Do I have to lift the engine 3" to be able to take out the Catalytic converter.
#JR Changes The World!!!
How does the factory-issued engine accomodate this add-on? I would be concerned about heat and residual heat generated by the turbo system.
thanks so much ;big help.👍👍👍
Are you going to cameo on AAR on the way to Phoenix? You called during his latest Copart walkaround.
Isn't the Ecotec Engine from Opel?
Okay, Wikipedia says the Saturn is a rebranded/rebadged Opel GT Speedster....

John you doit great for ather buyers to the kit 👍
Hopefully Gabe got a free turbo kit for having to do a re edit
Is this a new camera? It looks better today
Nah, just cleaned the lens...😉
Congratulations on shaming them into doing the right thing
Sky's The Limit: Part Duex!!!
The red tubes add 10HP because they are “red”. But if you had just polished the stock tubes to a mirror finish it would have added 20HP. Just saying.
Dang it. Got it backwards again....

The turbo is a stock K06 that they modify in-house. The remaining parts are GM OEM parts. We included the part numbers.
