Man this was such a banger episode. Perfect combo of random Scotto building things I never knew about, actual car progress, beauty shots, it really had it all. Well done boys.
Scotto does have the best build videos. It’s not just funny but informative and entertaining. Even though he never finishes them the approach and technicality are on point 😂😂. Keep rockin dude we love it. 🤘
Jolly's Comments are always on point! and it is funny Scotto "teaches" how to do this, followed up by thanking Ron for the idea lol. We need a Scotto teaching vlog... Call it Scotto's Nut tricks
So I have this exact same setup in my 86 with a beams swap and 7 years of hard drifting since it has been built I haven't noticed anything but as Niels said good excuse for something cool looking 8)
@@MrBlockohwhen you shorten the long side of the axle housing, does the new overall length equal the 86 axle? Or are we shortening the 8.8 just to fit under the 86 and not to match the axle sizes. Thanks!
I'm really looking forward to seeing Zack rinse all these Grid cars in Gymkhana with his blatantly-not-Grid drag truck. He absolutely has to do at least one Grid race in it
I once broke The axle tube from the center section. Mig welded it back with basic wire and without pre heating. Held perfect for many track days still. Yours will definetly hold its own against the VR6 👌
I've always like the old Corolla as I had a 81 baby blue interior and exterior 1.6 with an automatic that was grandma driven and got it for $480 CND and I blew the motor by spinning an oil bearing and gave it to the scrap yard at 16yrs old and when I watch this I am seeing things I dreamed of doing to mine. Now the motor auction that I wanted to go with was a 22RE or you can even go with the carbureted version intro some Weber's on it. But the 22RE is a 2.4L 4 cylinder beast that can easy push 300 and with that rear end you could build a stellar shift car.
Definitely the most simplest build out of all the gymkhana grid cars. That being said, really hope Scotto can finish this build in time ie: not last minute
Cool video - one of the best. Those multi-index backing plates are a very neat idea - don't recall seeing those before. It may run into binding issues, that could tend to turn it into an oversized ARB (swaybar), but if nothing breaks that could be a good thing - I'd suggest keeping an eye on the chassis and axle mountings, and making regular checks in the dog-leg links.
Wearing my back Hoonigan shirt with Hoonigan crooked all down my right side. I had my Gymkhana Hill Climb sweatshirt in med stole from me and a lot of my Hoonigan gear. Thank you and I really can't wait to see a VR6 AE86!
Your content makes me happier and motivates me. Because of kids and health problems at 35. I want to be working alongside you. I am pushing myself. If I can't in 10 years, my kids will have plenty of help. I hope. Right now I'm in a studio and my car just got totaled by a guy with a 4 day old car. I had a dark gray honda fit. For mpg but it was invisible to most people. I walked up his rear wheel and flipped on my side. The cops didn't believe me when I said reflex kicked in and I cranked the wheel to the left to flip it back over. It wasn't a thought. It was muscle memory. I couldn't explain it. Plus I had a concussion. You guys are great!!!
Jameson really recalls his wisdom achieved. I do not know if that is really called science, but I was told the same when I became a tool maker. Thumbs up!
I welded my 8.8 tubes, lots of abuse in an xj on 35s and never had an issue. It's cast steel and not iron. Pre heat and post heat is the most important.
excellent job guys, one question: I cut the rear axle of the Ford 8.8 to the same size as the rear axle of the AE86, how did you resolve the issue of the length of the axle shafts?
I am going to be doing this for my te72 soon. Not sure if it’s correct as I haven’t lined anything up or started but from my understanding one side of the axle housing is longer, longer axle. Only cut that side to match the shorter axle and use two passenger(or driver I don’t know which side it is) side axles. I plan to make a jig off my te72 at all the mounting points. Take out the rear end and put the 8.8 in the jig and weld the bracket in place. Not sure if they did it in the video but I plan to make some sort of jig for attaching and welding the axle tube back on. Fuck I might just wing it on that part I heard they aren’t straight from factory. But I don’t believe the shortened 8.8 will match the Corolla width. But it will fit and be close.
Weight distribution also has to do with spring vs un-sprung weight… the motor is sprung weight, the axle is un-sprung, so the rear of the car will be more ‘planted’ than before due to the weight, whereas the front weight is progressive depending on suspension movement
I had a dream where I was parting out a old suburban to Scotto. Definitely peak dreamscape, but he had a flat cap on, I dont know how he feels on those but he looked like Jason Sudeikis and it felt too off to be reality so I woke up. 😂
Man. You guys really need to pay up for a good welder. All 8.8s are cast steel center section. Er70s wire is totally fine. Just use 309l tig wire it has enough nickel in it if you’re worried about ductility. It’s one thing to be slops but at least give correct information. You have enough resources from actual pros.
I'm glad sh!t car is where it belongs after all the damage. Just hanging there to remind all of you and all of us how these channels started. RIP Sh!t car. Maybe to live again. Being on the wall is just nice for the OG fans and It deserves retirement. Lol glad you're back to your roots. I barely watched This vs That. Thank you for going back to the roots of Hoonigan.
I hope for Scotto’s sake this actually gets finished before the event
With the power of friendship this build will get done 👍
😂😂😂u got that right ...Scotto's habit of never ever finishing a project cannot be overlooked 😂😂
@@teammusketeers just applying some positive pressure 😂
It won't lol I bet the vr6 power plant will change also
@D&A Performance 🤣🤣🤣scotto is one of those anomalies where if he gets it done would be nothing short of a miracle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man this was such a banger episode. Perfect combo of random Scotto building things I never knew about, actual car progress, beauty shots, it really had it all. Well done boys.
the beauty shots were of Scotto
Dude Jameson is the man. Seems like a super knowledgable, chill guy. Would love to hear his background!
Scotto does have the best build videos. It’s not just funny but informative and entertaining. Even though he never finishes them the approach and technicality are on point 😂😂. Keep rockin dude we love it. 🤘
I love how Scotto simultaneously says how he doesnt know what he is doing and then confidently explains its the right way to do something lol :)

I imagine if the VR6 gets in there, that car will be one of the most fun things ever and SOUND AMAZING.
Don't forget to strengthen the rear strut towers, there prone to cracking with coilovers IIRC
good excuse to make a built in strut brace in to the cage

How bout if Scotto doesn’t finish the VR86 he has to run the 911 in Gymkhana grid 😅💀
Yes
If he doesn't finish in time... he's gotta compete in the Merkur
@@HooniganProjectGarage proper punishment 😂
@@HooniganProjectGarage he has to compete in a rental convertible ecoboost mustang, and then explain the damages in a insurance report later.
You need to put pressure on the ring gear as you spin the pinion to get the proper pattern
I now finally understand the “bell” sound going off on Vinny’s video while the exhaust was being built! 13:45
"fully built roller"
*_Merkur slowly creeps in_*
Love the progress Scotto is making on this car, can't wait to see the finished product!!! Keep plugging away!
I love Scotto, but this is a lot! I’m rooting for him to finish, but not betting on him 😂❤
Sounds like the story of his life.
@@HooniganProjectGaragehe's got a kid now, so we know he's finished at least once.

Or roll it on the first corner…
@@HooniganProjectGarage Either way, I'm here for it
2:24 You heard it here first from Hoonigan news: Fire is hot. Back to the studio. 😁😁😁
We are the leader in obviously obvious information.

As a truck guy I'm terribly jealous of the weight on that rear axle.
a dream to all of us hahaha
86 rear axles are softer than butter, well done guys
That diff is wicked!
That Toyo is gonna RIIIIIIP!!!
The AOL login animation gave me pause lol, one part nostalgic and the other part a hatred long since extinguished.
I thought I was the only one 😂😂
Holy shit, most exciting project for me! :D Can't wait for the VR beast! Now you can go turbo with that rear axle. :)
This are the best videos in a long time this takes me back to the good old Hoonigan days when the boys would build they're own shit

This is my favorite build of the bunch! So tasty with the choices and footage of it all. Thank you guys! 😁🤙
Where could I order one of these pre built like these or put in a order somewhere
jameson is a beast in the shop
Scotto you gotta finish this project for the sake of my mental health!! Dont even think moving to another project.
I think you will taco those tiny control arms before you break the plug welds on an 8.8
I build differentials everyday for a living and I love the smell of Ford xl-3 friction modifier
You need help.
Jameson really recalls his wisdom achieved. I do not know if that is really called science, but I was told the same when I became a tool maker. Thumbs up!
I use a ball joint press to push the wheel studs in
I use a transfer wire for the mig. From lincoln it's cor-a-rosta 309 p
Let's go Scotto! Still a VW kid from NY at heart.
When Suppy/Grimm return?
5:37 Nos 💙
This is not garage garage, without Dan it simply is not, this is Project Garage, it just is what it is…….
i think the top links are flipped the wrong way. you'll hit the body on compression. Im pretty sure they need to be pointed down
No, the links hit the housing when the car is set up too low. If you flipped them they would hit at droop.
I welded my 8.8 tubes, lots of abuse in an xj on 35s and never had an issue. It's cast steel and not iron. Pre heat and post heat is the most important.
Looking good Scott can't wait to see all you guys run gymkana in them loving watching the builds 🥰🥰🥰
Nickel 55 is the welding wire of choice for C-Mac the Crip.
Jameson is a natural on camera. More of him in future episodes.
13:55 woh - shit! 😂 Like those birds that show up on security cameras looking right into the lens trying to figure out their reflection. 🤣
What 4 link did y'all use
I guess I missed where the axle got shortened. Was that shown anywhere? I’ve always wondered how that gets done.
Don't thing they showed it, but here is a detailed video of how it's done: m.th-cam.com/video/cNlW7TfZYQw/w-d-xo.html
Yo Scotto, who makes those caliper adapters???
Love how Scotto only looked at the coast side of the pattern 🤣🤣🤣 full send
vinny what is the meaning of the mini 🤘
So next time just air hammer at those studs in it works really fast. I do have the tool and I do use it sometimes but air hammer is the easy way.
The ARP were a tad too thick and wouldn’t sit in the hole enough to get started.
Should of got the set up they run in Mk2 ford escort rally cars , group 4 fabrications sell the watts linkage and 4 link kits

rocking the safety squints
i know this will get done cause of how excited brian is bout vw engine in a toyota lol pls finish it man i need to see a vr6 fit in there
You cannot use a red dot or inferred to get the exact temperature, thermal/ heat sticks are more exact
Loving the series and the build! Fingers crossed y’all can make the VR6 work!
The eye is the best means of measuring
Nickle 55 is Crip Mac's favorite alternative band!🤣
Weight distribution also has to do with spring vs un-sprung weight… the motor is sprung weight, the axle is un-sprung, so the rear of the car will be more ‘planted’ than before due to the weight, whereas the front weight is progressive depending on suspension movement
True, but typically in road racing, you want less unsprung… So we will see.
I've had 8.8s in a couple Toyotas from supras to Cressida wagons
This has the potential to be my favorite car. Period.
@13:00 just use a spare wheel, or the correct tool, a press
These episodes are fantastic, thanks!
Hope everyone got their copy of the may 2023 PVW mag!
2:47 My Favorite 😂 Team Comes In after stuffing Their Bellies Because They Hear a Torch Light up 😂🔥
Thank you for this vid. Gonna test out this nickel 55 wire
Enjoyed this episode can’t wait to see Scotto finish it
Never seen it damage to a hub from smacking in a stud 😂, hammer time mate 👍🏻
What sup with the bmw with lambo doors i saw it there in the back without subframe
Put some respect on the name. That’s SHITCAR.
Shouldn’t the insulation be shiny side in?
Scotto pumping out ae86 content 🎉
Is vin's car sold yet?
I had a dream where I was parting out a old suburban to Scotto. Definitely peak dreamscape, but he had a flat cap on, I dont know how he feels on those but he looked like Jason Sudeikis and it felt too off to be reality so I woke up. 😂
Why do they make it look so fun I know that was probably a pain in ass
U better finish this! I can't wait
that friction modifier is RANK
No going to lie… when the clip popped out of the vice and hit Scotto… I even jumped 😮
60/60 weight distribution
I believe in you Scotto, you gotta prove the internet wrong sometime.
Garaaaaage garaaaaaage!!!!
I keep 90W gear lube in a diffuser in my office.
So you're the Antichrist
You are a psychopath
Yall need more lights in them shops I thought my brightness was low 😂
We do all of this when welding chrome pipe
Good job scotto
Brian went from D&D to celebrity chief real quick lol
Scotto the king of "Unfinished projects" doing the most complex build of everyone. ;)
“Simple VR6 Swap”
Dig it. Scotto still channeling his inner nick blackhurst with his favourite kind of kill, well joint favourite with tyres…
If it sparks its cast steel not iron
Where is soopy?
Nice to see the BOSS lead the Minions by example, I can't wait to see the sneaky pete NOS he hides in the interior!!🦒
Knowledge is power
Some solid progress, keep at it, mate.🎉
