CT crew is honestly goals af. How tf are there so many rad car guys in one spot that are all homies.. id move to CT just to be part of the crew if they'd let me lol
I went up to MA yesterday to pick up some uh "goodies" and I was struggling to find backroads, everything I went to was gravel. Found some decent ones, but next time I think I should drop down to CT for fun 🤣
Rhode island and Massachusetts are notorious for terrible roads. For some reason our towns like to fill potholes in during rain storms. It's a vicious circle.
Jimmy, make sure you do all the measurements. I mentioned in the last Couple / Slave issue video about shimming the slave - this is a thing for a few swaps I have had to troubleshoot. Depending on distances and components you may have to shim the slave to prevent overtravel. Just something to check so you don't have to keep installing/reinstalling and wasting time. It never takes long to measure, and can save a ton of time.
I think I can speak for all the subscribers in saying this. I’m actually really stoked to see these cars on the road. While you have many similar cars, they all have unique setups, and something we miss on TH-cam a lot is how these cars actually perform. We got to watch them get built, but we want to see them drive. It’s not empty content. It’s like the icing on the cake after watching them grow.
Glad you were able to get some fun miles in, those roads look great. Enjoy the heck out of some good back road fun. I take midnight runs at least once a week out on the local twisty’s near me
Just get an adjustable bearing. I’ve been using the tilton tob with my v160 and now about to use one on my t56. You just set the air gap and you’re good to go.
Love seeing the in car mounted footage, just realized how much of a rarity it is on this channel lol, looks super cool being non go pro, super video gamey
The black S15 is such a beaitiful car overall. Love how built it is yet is stock body. Only rhing id change is the bronze TE's with a set of the Top Sectet gold Volk GT-C's. One of my top 5 favorite wheels.
The diameter of the plunger inside the brake master cylinder as well as the diameter of the brake lines should be taken into account when upgrading brakes because it plays a major role in the braking characteristics.
I love how jimmy is old school tuning this sr, mechanical boost progression is kinda what the og's were going for in the 90's, otherwise you were just kinda driving around on a fixed psi (gate) or had a bleed valve in there somewhere. The creep gives the top end power w/o the low end rod nuking torque. The mathematical equivalent of using an abbacus to tally your taxes, doable, at great time or expertise lmao
Love the back road driving Jimmy, do more its good to see you enjoying your cars
would love to see a series with that pov and better mic setup just driving and talking about the car, maybe like a mini podcast with one of the boys
Would be cool to see all his friends, driving all his cars, all with cameras, giving all there opinions and exspiriences while driving the back roads.
@@wishtheyunderstoodme definitely would be a great exspirience🔥
ikr i loveee when he does it
I love all the driving content, that angle kinda slapped, quality is 👌
Bro the angle was everything 😭
Jimmy freakin’ killed it with this!!!
"Slapped" lol took me back to living on the north side west coast.
Agreed angle is amazing
Your mom got slapped
Love how stunned and lost you looked when Tommy asked if the s14's ever had rear wipers 😂😂😂
its a jdm thing btw, rear wiper, been working on a s14 kouki with rear wiper
Seeing Tommy that impressed is rare. So stoked he thinks it's a fun car!
Tommy is such a good addition to any video, such a damn good crew in CT!
No hes not. Trash
CT crew is honestly goals af. How tf are there so many rad car guys in one spot that are all homies.. id move to CT just to be part of the crew if they'd let me lol
Really like the back seat view driving should do it on all the Cars!
I went up to MA yesterday to pick up some uh "goodies" and I was struggling to find backroads, everything I went to was gravel. Found some decent ones, but next time I think I should drop down to CT for fun 🤣
That’s your problem, MA roads suck, especially around the areas with all the, uhhhhh, “goodies” shops lol

Respect for letting ant whip the brz in the heat

What happened to Rodknock? I don’t see any of his cars at Tommy’s shop.
ct backroad driving is one of my favorite things to watch lz do when he's in town. would also love to see more of it out of you with all of your cars
I'm a simple guy I see Jimmy oakes driving I like the video.
10:33 Ant left his shoes at papa toms

Glad you were able to get some fun miles in, those roads look great. Enjoy the heck out of some good back road fun. I take midnight runs at least once a week out on the local twisty’s near me
Awesome video!! Tell Tommy we miss him!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Just get an adjustable bearing. I’ve been using the tilton tob with my v160 and now about to use one on my t56. You just set the air gap and you’re good to go.
Yup simple math
that matco tool cart at 9:42 giving off huge 80's toyota vibes
I love back roading, so i got some much joy just watching you back road cruise, especially on that nice gloomy day.
Definitely need you to do more of these back roads with this view!!! So sick!
Loved the driving clips!!! Absolutely awesomeness
Lucky winner 🎁🎁🖕🖕🖕

Saw you driving to Tommy’s shop. Car looks clean!
Great job diagnosing the clutch issue! Work the problem jimbo!
plz driving povs is what we’ve needed for the channel
Love seeing the in car mounted footage, just realized how much of a rarity it is on this channel lol, looks super cool being non go pro, super video gamey
Tommy is a Schassis God and he fixed your boost creeps just by driving it hard. 🤣🤣🤣
Jimmy and gang y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Backroad videos are the BEST
I think that’s one of the nices car reviews Tommy has ever given.
Need to do some back road driving videos with your other builds. Great video.
I dig the backroad cruising
Good morning boys
love this video style keep grinding
Good morning, Jimmy, thanks for the timely upload, I just got home from work and was sitting here staring at my wall
I must say! That is a great in-car view, sick camera placement! Love the content Jimbob
Lucky winner 🎁🎁🖕🖕🖕
4:36 Jimmy’s lower back left the building lol
Jimmy*
That pothole hit hard omg
Tommy, LZ, and Oakes. The fucking dream team on TH-cam.
Enjoyed the POV driving 👍🏼
Wasup legends!! Love your work Jimmy, your videos rock brother.
Thank you for recording the back road drive Jim! It’s great to see you ripping
Lucky winner 🎁🎁🖕🖕🖕
Can we please get Brian’s bmw done before the end of the season. I can say we would all love to see him rippin before winter
Yes to the backseat view. That was lit
Loooove to see the black S15 out! Was hoping the parts collection from Tommy’s was his blue option b 🤩
yes keen to see some more back road driving and just cruzing in your cars to work or on missions gopro was in a mint spot too
I enjoyed this video driving enjoying the builds Tommy’s approval this was a great vidjeo
@6:11 “DEEZ F****N TINGS”😂😂😂
The black S15 is such a beaitiful car overall. Love how built it is yet is stock body. Only rhing id change is the bronze TE's with a set of the Top Sectet gold Volk GT-C's. One of my top 5 favorite wheels.
this channels so dope man😮💨
Jimmy made me love S15s again and that black one, dream car right there
Backroad driving was a fire segment 🔥🔥
Propel has been a new thing for me too jimbo. Be getting one every day at work and man they HIT
I love the POV driving👍👍
That driving content is so good. As a local CT boy, I can appreciate a nice backroad rip lol
Lucky winner 🎁🎁🖕🖕🖕
“These fucking things” Tommy 😂😂
would looove to see more driving-clips!
Jimmy that s15 looks 🔥🔥🔥sounds wild
Always follow this channel FC from Thailand ❤❤❤
Jimmy needs that black 14. Then he'd have the trilogy all in black 🖤
I always loved zenki’s wish I had grabbed a few chassis when they were cheap! Especially Matt Powers neon RB one
Yes, some s14's came with rear window wiper. I have seen some here in Finland.
Shifts like a type r 🤘🏼
The pov angle was really good! Maybe a bit shaky but would be mint with a stabalizer
Happy birthday day belated Jimmy. Like your channel brother and keep up good work brother. You came long way brother. Nice to see how far you came
You are welcome Jimmy. Keep up good work brother.
jimmy is such a great guy
The back seat view is really good imo really let's you see how Jimmy drives
I really dig this camera angle for driving
Finally a car that gets driven hard on jimmys manes channel. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Tommy puts up a hard vibe but I think his a cool guy.
Definitely my favorite car you have... such a great car
Jimmy just so you know We like the driving content!!
zenkis are by far my favorite s chassis
Ct backroads looks so fun
That thing looks like fun
The diameter of the plunger inside the brake master cylinder as well as the diameter of the brake lines should be taken into account when upgrading brakes because it plays a major role in the braking characteristics.
could you share a formula?
Channel hasn’t been giving notifications, glad this one did
I got them as well
I love how jimmy is old school tuning this sr, mechanical boost progression is kinda what the og's were going for in the 90's, otherwise you were just kinda driving around on a fixed psi (gate) or had a bleed valve in there somewhere. The creep gives the top end power w/o the low end rod nuking torque. The mathematical equivalent of using an abbacus to tally your taxes, doable, at great time or expertise lmao
The back seat pov looking forward as Jimmy drives the b roads would make a dope poster, I'd buy it
You should be able to space the slave to the correct tolerance which is around 3mm give or take
hopefully you figure it out soon
Video on was awesome
I dig the driving content
Nothing better then ct backroads!!
My go to tires at the moment are falken 615ks or firestone indy500s
