Gingium is actually blows my mind how far you have come, just a few years ago you were sticker bombing your interior and rattle can tinting your tail lights, now you have your own shop and actually work on your own cars, thats why you stand apart from other car youtubers, you do literally everything to your cars, not a vlog of going to the shop and paying people to work on your car for you, keep up the good work my guy
Man Dingo he still does that tho lol
And he doesn't bodge anything. While keeping it down to earth and diy. It's awesome.
Man Dingo shot at ar12
Man Dingo
Plus he's shaved his head
Lol, been here since he was still posting gaming vids on this channel
where your little triangles are at on your top mounts you should do two bars going from each triangle down to the Frame to keep the shock Tower from Bowing in and out
Deatherage performance exactly what i was thinking too lol
Yess . Upvote this for safety
it would be easier to weld the wheelwells to the shock mounts
Hououin Kyouma the wheel wells are mounted with 4 to 8 12 mil bolts they come off that's not strong enough to hold them he needs to weld it to the frame then they will be strong enough the brace is decent but it needs help
Strut Brace..
Love the fabrication, I really think your channel should get more recognition, so unique 💖
Honestly
fabrium
Absolutely!!!! Congrats!
true man , he should get more recognition for his awesome content, i love the new build, one question tho, what happend to the rx7 fc drift car?
Shaban Shabani he sold it
Id say reinforce those shock mounts drastically because we all know welds aren’t very reliable especially when it comes to the weight, motion and vibration of a engine you really do not want not one weld to snap after hitting a bump. Plus its a drift truck sliding that thing will put alot of stress on those welds with the weight of the engine in the front.
Hova Street King and he did not do proper cleaning before welding when he welded to the frame
Motorider717 yeah I didn’t see him sand down to bare metal but it should be fine if he reinforces it more and make the welds thick enough.
I saw shiny frame where he was welding.. pretty sure he’s not stupid?
he didnt weld it to the frame. He said he was waiting till he did the other side before welding.
if welds weren't relieable, most of the worlds machinery wouldn't work. I agree he should brace the tower underneath the frame or something but not becuase the welds, but because that metal will bend before those welds give.
There's a brake line there, what do I do ?
"Starts cutting"
Manfredas Manfredas yeah brake lines are easy to replace I would have done the same
rekt
I think you need to re-enforce where you welded the square tubeing.... it might be overkill but it should give you more support
you can't go overkill with things like these, only better prevented :D
I enjoy how we've watched Fabium go from using an angle grinder, sheat metal screws, and coucking gun. To fabbling and welding his own stutt towers. All he needs now is a plasma cutter and a pipe bender. Keep it up man, you're hands down my favorite automotive TH-camr.
The quality of your videos are better than ever even better than Adam LZ.
Love your content and please upload videos on Game-ium
Thank you
Haha built not bought
TheHuNter9889 Adam also runs a company so he doesn’t have time to always work on his builds at least he’s involved unlike tj hunt
Definitely not better than Adam I mean gingium has a great channel but Adam is so much better to watch and he’s pretty funny and the only reason Alberto is around is because Adam doesn’t know everything about cars plus who doesn’t like working on cars with your homies I mean it’s part of the car scene to help each other and motivate each other to do better
SiZe_Censor Adam LZ is great guy and the best thing about him is that is a relatively big TH-camr but keeps his content simple and has no ego and I love it that he works on his own cars on his own with a little help from Alberto but we can all agree that his content becomes a bit boring because he does the same thing again and again
You need more, what you built will handle radial force(up, down) just fine. But will not hold up to lateral force(left, right etc) in the long run. I'm sure there is a way you could tie into the fenders or build something that will provide the support it needs. Maybe a partial tube chassis front end? And down the road a strut tower brace that also ties into the firewall or something.
I cant weld anything to the body of the car. The body and frame flex seperate of each other.
I will however build a strut bar connecting the two strut towers. Should provide enough lateral strength.
I still think you should do a slowmo panning shot mini montage everytime you use the angle grinder as an inside joke for your long time fans. 😎
OsmiumVIII yes please
I was genuinely impressed with the coil over mounts you made and the welds keep it up
It’s super cool to see gingium just jumping into projects and learning how to make things work
riight
Triangles are strong, Triangles are fun, Triangles are easy make, *Triangles are all seeing*
:)
Triangles are *all.* Triangles are *i n f i n i t e .*

Hey dude great job Keep up the good work.
If it's too hot in the shop for you to be creative, invest in portacool jetstream 260 it makes the shop much cooler or make them sponsor you like they did with Motion auto TV.
I hope that this comment would help you somehow!!!
If you don't want your miter cuts to be longer than one another you need to split the degree change into each piece of metal. So you would want to cut a 22.5° miter cut into each piece to achieve the 45° and having both cut pieces the same length.
Very good job on those strut towers though.
Yes, I am digging this build, and I hate to pick at details when somebody is jumping head first into a huge project like this, but I really think a proper miter (one that doesn't have gaping holes on the inside of the corner) is kind of important- especially on a piece that's as heavily stressed as this one. Geometry is geometry, and that's not right. I'd hate to see a failure from something as basic as that. Looking forward to watching smoke puffing sideways from the back tires.
I think it's more that the frame doesn't have a square edge than his mitres but ye probs something that could be better
I swear Gingium does so much for these videos he deserved more subscribers.
I remember watching your videos back then when you had the Subaru.. And look at you now.. you’re one of the best car TH-camrs in my opinion. You do stuff yourself, and make thinks from scratch, your cars are the definition of “built not bought”. Keep it up.
boi you better get a welding table soon. that poor back is gonna hurt just like a mule kicking your back.
you can cut a bell housing from an old 1uz engine and get and adapter to meet it with a manual transmission
It cant be said enough, Gingium is the best automotive youtuber out there. Like others have said its so awesome and inspiring to see someone actually build their own toys and not just sign the checks and have someone else do it. I do still watch the others, not gunna name names, but yeah. Gingium is the goatium.
This video made me realise how nice it is to know how to weld, the fact you can easily create things like this is mindblowing 😂
Triangleium?
Nah he doesn’t have a rotary anymore
After seeing Gingium doing all these mods, doing them myself in the future doesn't seem even half as daunting as it did before. Thanks Gingium!
Whitestorm just get out in the garage and try to build some shit. You'll probably be surprised on what you can actually do!!!
Justin Wright True! I should invest in a welder, I already have an angle grinder 😂
Thats what i thought now my damn turbo 🚜 dont run and grass is about 4 feet high
couldn't you use the top shock mounts from the donor miata seeing that these coil overs are for a miata?
RH2RACING thats what i said and it be look flush like it belongs
It'd take some time, but he could do it. Hell, he could fabricate both, just in case his design fails.
Your projects are literally the subject of office conversation at the store I work at. Never changium.
this is the COOLEST most IMPRESSIVE build by far bro, you've come sooo far along with your channel. i'm never gonna stop watching your content man
Dear Gingium,
Thank you for being one of my favorite car TH-camrs
- Sincerely Mike from a small and crap TH-cam channel
Fabium is all grown up. He's doing big-boy fabrication and everything
Check to see if you can get that control arm bolt out! From the video it looks like you boxed it in when you welded on the strut tower, hopefully not!
Also boxing in the top of the strut tower should help to keep it from flexing, weld some flat bar around the outside edge, it’s such and important part of the suspension overkill will pay off later.
Good luck, really happy to see people taking on projects like this!
You definitely proved me wrong. Your strut tower actually looks really good in there. Definatly doesn't look hack! You really are putting a ton of effort into this truck and hopefully you get it finished!! Good work man
You need a vise, you're drilling right into the table you built. And the drill bit could get stuck in the metal and the metal could fling into your wrist.
How is Caleb not at a mil subs yet?
Dude you’re killing with those welds ! You’ve got the most interesting build out all the car channels so far!
The way you constantly try new things and challenge yourself is such a great part of your channel and part of what makes it fun to watch. I've been watching since before you shifted to a car focus and watching you improve and learn and fighting through setbacks has been really awesome.
Keep it up man, you're doing some really cool shit. Even when some stuff doesn't work like you hope, the fact that you're always trying new things more than makes up for it.
Bro never lose hope...sometimes you look like you're just done... but nothings like that... if it takes time ,..take your time... we all love you...
What I love about your channel is you do it your self, and fab yourself I cannot name another person who does
Been watching since before the Rally Miata had a lift-kit. This is the best work you have ever done, kudos.
Welds are lookin really good.
Caleb the best youtuber that doesn't pay people to work on his cars instead Does it his self DIY
I don’t understand how you are and 300K with this quality. You deserve 5 Million
Gingium! Just wanted to say your definitely one of my favorite TH-camrs and having the opportunity to meet you last yeah up here in Wisconsin at the drift event was awesome! I see a lot of potential in you and I wish I could support you more but I’m in a tough spot myself so I’ll do the best and keep watching you videos! Can’t wait for you to blow up even more than you have!
Who else likes Gingium's vids before they watch them cuz you know ther'e gunna be good?
I sometimes am in shock (no pun intended) how you make these ideas in your head. Its amazing.
Just a tip Gingium, when you’re welding stuff for your projects, it’s a good habit to clean the mill scale off of the metal so that it’s shiny before you weld it. Just to make the weld that much stronger.
Bro! That looks so good! I've been watching your channel for a few years now and it's been amazing to see your growth as a TH-camr and a Fabricator/mechanic!! Keep up the quality content!!
Dam man I love that you are willing to try new things and aren't afraid to do them. Keep up the good work, I appreciate it.
Gingium make a t-shirt with an angle grinder on it says I got this
lolz
I'd buy it
Or object in the way picture of grinder... Problem solved
I would buy several lmao I say that while holding an angle grinder on the regular
Got a point.
Dude, I remember the day I watched your Miata (Molly) reveal and that whole project, and now seeing you making custom parts for your cars in yor big shop and having so many cool vehicles is just awesome, keep doing what you're doing and keep growing bigger and bigger
Dude this has thoroughly impressed me more than anything this channel is underrated keep up the good work
Tbh that strut tower is impressive. Well done, glad to see you're progression in welding. You're my favorite car youtuber right now just because of how much fab work you do on your own. Literally everything that goes on your car you do.
So pumped for you bro! It’s crazy how much your mechanical/fabricating skills have progressed! Can’t wait to see this thing rip!
Not notification squad, just good timing squad.
TA B Fuck I'm 8 hours late.
TA B at least you’re honest
Wow, very impressed with your manufacturing skills. Nicely done.
I'm really happy you are enjoying this build. I'm excited to see it rip!
The truck is going to be so cool when it's finished, glad I found this channel
Who in the world dislikes this? Gingium is such a cool guy and he works hard, with great and unique results. Love your builds ginigum, hope you get that transmission!
There is nothing supporting the top of your Square tubing it is your weak point. You will need make a strut bar at the minimum but bracing top bar to frame is needed also. Great start for what you had to work with
These kind of videos is exactly what we want!!! Perfect content for your chanel
Thats insane, Industrial level welds, so proud of you fabium
The love button is actuated based on your extremely great hard work.
Thats the best fabricating gingium has ever done
Thats fucking awesome, keep up the fab work, i really dig how you don’t get discouraged by a big project like this one! Love the vids
Gingium I was thinking about Fred the other day and broke a tear.... that’s how long I’ve been with you lol even wat before with the Toyota.😭😭😭 ur striving bro
well done, you continue to be one of my favourite you-tubers. A hard working man and I wish you every success
it's pretty cool to see how far you have come in fabrication.
Dude that fabrication work is insane! Should definitely do more of it
You really came along way dude your welds are really good , you really do practice off camera that's honestly amazing you care that much I appreciate your videos been watching for a while now!
Good job,Caleb! As an idea,I think you should build a bolt mounted strut bar to make the strut towers more rigid,but all that after you mock up the engine. Good luck with this project! It will be amazing!
I just want this project to be done! I'm so hyped to see it driving!
Always good, honest, and genuine content man. Keep up the awesome!
He's got some skills on welding and fabrication
dude YOU ARE AWESOME
we all look forward to seeing this thing done
keep it up
dude YOU ARE AWESOME
we all look forward to seeing this thing done
keep it up
Ginge, I've got to say that the shaved head was an A+ decision. Looking good man
You're the man, my dude. Keep the slick work comin!
Nice fabrication job on that strut tower. Your welds keep getting better and better 👍🏻
I'm really impressed with your crafting skill !
great inspiration for my truck, 96 nissan pickup
That strut tower turned out so amazing!
Wow, your fab work is really coming together and your welding skills are really coming along. Nice work.
Gingium is straight up the hardest working TH-cam out there. Respect ✊
You are like the god of fabrication.
Love the build series, keep up the good work. Only thing I recommend is weld some support reinforcements on the angles on the main hoop and weld it to the frame to brace it up even more.
little tip, notching all the square tubes by 22,5 instead of half of 'em 45 would have made all that a little prettier and sturdier ;) Love the build, keep it up!
Your fab work is getting much better, I am excited for the progress
Awesome content man! It’s cool to see you getting better and better at fabricating.
Keep up the hard work man! Awesome seeing your skills and talents evolve
good job dude that looks badass and your getting so much better at welding this project is a good learning process at fabrication
Great work! Awesome to see you improving your fabrication skills!
He looks freaking good with his head shaved
I been watching Your videos for a while.your skills have grown a lot.great Job on front suspension.keep it up.can not wait for next video.
my favorite build on youtube
That strut tower looks really really good good work!
A JIG!!! the man is learning!!! gj on making a jig for 90s
Yo the strut towers actually look really nice! Im impressed
Those mounts look really good and functional man, good job
Mad respect on building your own strut towers and putting a video together. Can't wait to see how this comes out.
yea mud panda !!!! glad to see its still around ... hope it gets a lil love soon ...please keep it
Outdid yourself bro, well done, keep the great entertaining work !
You could widebody the truck so the wheels look better and also to make the truck look more menacing dude, I'm loving the build, can't wait to see the 1uz in it with twins and everything 🔥🔥🔥
