We’ll, it looks like I was half-asleep when I uploaded this video. Sorry about the missing audio. It was there during the rough edit of the video but much like my snap-on 12pt socket set, it’s unexpectedly gone missing. Sorry Everyone!
What is great is seeing that you are storing the Cressida and Mustang from Austrasia for the Bennie's. Not many people will catch that. I watch BCW all the time.
I really liked how chill this episode was! It doesn't always have to be +20k racing engines and other high-end stuff (not that I don't love that also), now it felt just like another day at your average garage. And I definitely laughed my ass off with all the diesel comments, great idea with the gopro!
Yeah I dunno personally I never make mistakes. It’s a sign of weakness. Gods country up this way. Great hills you’ll see them and just want to walk up them.
I just think the amount of attention that "garbage" got was absolutely hilarious! With all of those exotics parked around, then you turn the corner, and there's Death Metal, sitting there in all its fabulousness! Thanks for the video, Mike! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
You know. A 12valve might not be a bad idea for the car I know you love the 2j though if you ever want something different in the car I'd suggest that. I could see that being fun
I'd watch video after video of people's candid reactions to sketchy roadkill-esque builds at high-end car shows. That's content gold, honestly. And, for the record, if I didn't know this car already, I would have no idea what that engine was!
I think you’d like this car a lot more with a smaller, more responsive turbo. At only 420whp you could put something on that’s much more lively down low.
Definitely. Could even go with a factory turbo from one of the various twin scroll inline 6s out there. Adopt a pulse style manifold and it would drive beautifully.
I'm going to have to try the car show GoPro. I get enough comments, good and bad, about my LS swapped 70 Chevelle and it would be neat to hear what people say when I'm not near the car. Usually it's "He put ALL the money in the drive train" or "Should have done a Big Block". Basically a Solid body with a 30 year old Maaco paintjob over shoddy dent repair (cracking bondo) sitting on top of a freshly done frame and new drivetrain. LoL
I want to laugh ssooo badly... but then I remind myself that over 90% of men now days have no clue what or where a spark plug is on ANY engine and then it just makes me cry... then someone goes and says a stripped down 2jz looks like a diesel and I can't help but roll my eyes as I instantly notice all the ways it looks nothing like a diesel that's 2x the size lol
@@theoriginaljoke3.148lol can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but if not, we always know when people are full of sheet. Some of us might be polite and not call you out on your bs in front of a bunch of people, but that doesn’t mean we don’t know. And we all make fun of you as soon as you leave lmao. I don’t get it, like it’s not a big deal if people don’t know jack about cars, but acting like you do when you don’t is the most annoying thing ever, it drives me nuts. That’s when we just start making stuff up and telling you about the time we swapped a 110 gigawatt flux capacitor into our twin supercharged 2-stroke 292 big block diesel stroker and went 23.40 in the 8th mile. Best day of my life!
This was hilarious. Never even hit my mind to take Death Metal to a car show. Love the reactions from people. Even the ones that were so wrong! Was great to see how many realized it was your car and knew exactly what it is. Have a fantastic day!
Death metal charger is definitely a "different" concept but looks fun! Loved them pointing out the new/nice suspension and than the rest of the car. I always return to Roadkill episode 23 (General Mayhem) "We are gonna put nice shiny aftermarket parts on that crud right there".
One of the best episodes you'e made. A little wrenching, a little showing people your (well, mostly) handiwork. The reactions were priceless! Hope you waited before leaving to put the extension back on and put on a show for the crowd!
Sadly no. They ask that no one two-step, loud rev or basically any kind of hooning. Place is crawling with cops and would have one on him if he tried any "funny business"
I love the car because it's different! That's what I like. I have the exact same motor sitting and waiting too. My friend bought a piece of land and this motor was sitting under a tarp on a crate. Checked everything and it's all good. We are thinking about filming a 2JZ Chevette install. Lmk your opinion Mike! Thanks for the content
The essence of hot-rodding, using what you have! Great stuff!!!! I get similar reactions to my 2JZ swapped Studebaker. The young are curious since they don't know what it is, but once I say 2JZ they are all on board! The old are happy to see a car they forgot about back on the road but are sometimes puzzled about the Japanese engine under hood. I have gotten a few purists who call it a rice rocket, but honestly the @JZ was the best choice. My Lark is originally a 6-cylinder car, and I wanted to get it back to being an inline 6 but with the exception of the GM Atlas, all American inlines are pretty much heavy, tractor based lumps. The Barra is too big and not nearly as easy to procure being non-US market. For $200 from a PnP yard, I have what is arguably the most iconic and reliable inline 6 ever made. It rebuilt easily, makes 3 times the power of the original flathead and now a car I've lugged around for MY ENTIRE LIFE, is back on the road making me and others smile!
Love the episode Mike!! And absolutely loved the camera on the car at the show. Pole barn did the same with the holey goat and it's great to see people's reactions. Keep up the awesome work my friend. I'm sad to see you're not doing faster with finnegan anymore, but you can't chose a better reason for bowing out. Family always comes first. 🙏
I had a car everyone hated because it was unsafe, 67 dart GT 440 rigged was a slant 6. So when I was mad at mom, dad, girlfriend, I would tell them I'm taking the dart street racing, it was fast but it had all 6cly brakes & suspension no seat belts tiny tires,fun but DANGEROUS!!!!
Lol @30:33 the kid in the black FSM hoodie pointing and asking what the turbo is, I honestly don't know how he couldn't know what a turbo was if he has watched any of your videos.... Oh and his know it all car guy friends KNOWING ITS A DIESEL LOL
I'm a Mopar guy... but Im also a die-hard Toyota guy so... works for me. Only 5hing cooler would have been a twin turbo 1UZ V8 but the 2JZ is legendary for good reason.
This is as JUNKyard as it gets 😂😂😂😂👏 But I really think you should think about reinforcement for that hood if it gets loose anymore it might hurt whoever is behind you.
At the 24m mark I almost lost my mind 😱 that was painful to watch LOL I'm gonna save you a lot of time 😁A package has been shipped to you TODAY sir. #knkut #TheHoleSolution
Ruined in the best way possible the 2j just makes death metal that much cooler. It’s not nice enough to baby but beat enough to beat it like it owes you money 🤘🏼
Im no mechanic nor a jz specalist, but i woulda thought plugs and leads are a give away 🤣🤣 Reminds of going into australias shittest parts shop (repco) amd asking for plugs and leads for my toyota 80 series and then they asked if it was petrol or diesel 🤦♂️
Love the grinder safety bit..... then procedes to use it without the guard. I can honestly say I have NEVER found the guard getting in the way that I couldn't solve with moving it round or repositioning.
The car is fun... period. Its rotting on the road instead of in some yard or barn somewhere. I've been wanting to put something roadkill-like on the road for years. But I need to finish my garage so I have some place to work on it. I'm thinking an old square body chevy.
death metal is an awesome ride but please don't 2j swap the daytona.... love your channel and do you have a 4L60e kicking around trying to get my daily back on road..??
i'll admit when mike first swapped it from muscle to import i was not a fan i hated it so much...but now it's starting to grow on me a little bit more and i kinda like it now, it's no general mayhem but still not too bad of a clapped out old charger.
🤣🤣 the man says my wife thought I had that big truck because I was trying to overcompensate for something. Well I guess the man's wife would be the one to know
I'm a old school grease monkey I don't keep up with the new stuff as much as I should, I wouldn't know a 2JZ if it fell on my toes. I think the little I know about them I learned from Finnegan.
Sure had me fooled if its not diesel why does it spit so much black goop all over. it must come from the turbos anyone know? never seen a toyota spiting anything from anywhere well I;m 72 years old and it sure fooled me! been around cars all my life but not that 2jZ I guess it's never to late to learn! that thing sounds and sure seemed to be a diesel! just glad I;m not the only one fooled
Sorry nit picky complaint from an ex hardware salesman. The printed side of the cutting or grinding disc should face up toward the tool. They are designed to spin a certain direction and as such the construction is made that way. You will get better results and more life per disc.
I say screw the people who rage at the fact there is a 2JZ GE engine. Chances are that car would have never run again and would have been scrapped no matter what anyone says. Long as the car is back on the road and it's something people can enjoy then that is the best thing ever.
To keep a wheel from becoming a death wheel also check the manufacturing date, which is on every cutting wheel, and keep them in a low humidity climate.
I would have used the first elbow that was the same diameter and used a cut off wheel with a fairly thin wheel and cut three slots in the end equal distance apart and then used a hose clamp 2 compress it when the gaps close-up it would have been a small enough diameter to fit snugly inside the exhaust you could have removed the clamp off and use a rubber mallet or something to seat it down in there securely then if you had to drill a tiny hole through the top of the exhaust in the elbow and put a small screw through it to secure it
Tbh I think most of those people are trying to act like they know everything. Like at least half of those people called that engine a damn diesel. That's not a diesel, that's way too small to be a diesel.
That's one of the best things about car shows; especially when you're young - trying to flex what you think you know. It's all hilarious, and even people who know their stuff get caught in that talk. Thanks for that little clip at the end Fin; we all start not knowing much of anything.
I think you've created a true piece of automotive art. Its art because its thought provoking and has people second guessing themselves. It gives the automotive design team behind fury road a run for their money.
I would never believe it’s to make fun, genuinely to get peeps reactions. You usually want to know what they think if you have something unique. Good episode. 👍🏻
I am a car guy but from the 50’s & 60’s,I am not afraid to ask just what is a 2JZ? Also what is 2JZ out of? I went thru a shit load of the comments & didn’t see anyone ask the basic question? What is it? Your “55” is more my love!
It's a Toyota 3 liter I6 out of a Toyota Supra or a Lexus....Japanese equivalent to a small block Chevy because people shove it in to anything it will fit in.
When you first announced you were putting in the 2JZ I was skeptical, but I like it now! Maybe the people who thought it was diesel were getting it confused with the Cummins swapped Torino?
You have a cool car. Been a fan of you & frieberger since you guys built nascarlo. You guys inspired me to pick up wrenches after a long time of "F working on stuff!" due some bad experiences with the Army and local city jobs. Keep up the good work. I need to order one of your shirts when i get paid.
Totally worth any comment not approving, I’m a muscle car guy, and I’m bored with the same old stuff, plus kids are into imports more than ever , so you get a bigger audience. Paint a rising sun on the hood in red, dare you
For sure. Sometimes gets old seeing the same stuff all the time. Like how there will be a line of ‘32 hot rods that all have a 350 Chevy. I really like watching builds from places like Australia because they commonly use “oddball” engines since they don’t always have the cheap and easy access to stuff like we do in the states.
I love a frankinstien monster, I love this crazy car, as the owner of a Volvo 242 with a supercharged Lexus LS 400 engine & gearbox, I totally approve of what you've done, Rj in Oz
It seems like it may have been better overall to just permanently extend the pipe to the "new" length and put the flapper atop that. But, it's your car and not mine, so you do as you please! It WAS funny watching all those people thinking it was a Cummins diesel! And the tetanus jokes!
Finnegan I love the the car you have something different for everyone posted on your channel . Many many years ago just to get down the road my broke ass friends and I put together some crazy junkyard rides . It always surprised me when a few people volunteered negative trolls types of comments to teenagers . We didn't know what we were doing always had a great time .
I absolutely love this car. I may not be into jdm cars or their motors. Hell I may not totally agree with the swap. But the creativity u have to come up with the idea of it and do it, I appreciate it. When it comes to cars, u shouldn't build them to please others. U should build them to make u proud and happy of what u have created. Wether it's a full restore or just a car no one cared for that is rusted out and falling apart. I honestly love the Chevy Beretta. I have always wanted to either restore one or build a custom one. One day. One day.
i tottally get the "what is it??" engine question... even though i've been around cars and selling parts for 40 + years!! Did not think for a minute you were trying to embarass anyone or anything like that!! keep up the builds man!! love it!!

Time to fire the editor LOL
👍😎👍
Stuff happens to all of us 😂.
Hahaha I thought thermostat was a problem with my Internet. Hahaha
"It's a diesel", hilarious 😂
Needs a Cummins style valve cover!
😅
It just goes to show that half the people that attend these shows know nothing about cars.
He'll never live that down
I loved how absolutely certant people were that it is a diesel or specifically a cummins.
You should totally do a video of your wife running us through all your projects and her thoughts on it.
I would rush to watch that video so fast!!! Mike you gotta make this happen brother!
Dude...next upload featuring a very scruffy Mike, shortly after waking up in 'Death Metal'....
I also wanna see Mrs Finnigans reaction to all the junk
What do you want him to get a divorce it would be funny but no way😂
Without prompting her which are his projects and not ones that he is "storing for a friend"!
I’m going to flat out say it, Death Metal was so far gone from being restored and he made it more unique. I personally love it.
yup, hard to wreck something that was for all purposes destroyed.
What is great is seeing that you are storing the Cressida and Mustang from Austrasia for the Bennie's. Not many people will catch that. I watch BCW all the time.
You have good eyes! Lol
I saw em both out at sick week. Instantly recognized the Barra powered Cressida lol
How many vehicles/boats do you own?? We need a Finnegan's "Cribs" episode of this apparent warehouse you have full of toys!
First thing I noticed in that garage. The Cressida was an awesome car.
Not a Cressida, it's a Cresta. Originally built by Mighty Car Mods. Great to see both Barra cars have safe storage between events while in the US.
I really liked how chill this episode was! It doesn't always have to be +20k racing engines and other high-end stuff (not that I don't love that also), now it felt just like another day at your average garage.

Heck Ya!!
The same people that can't tell a 2JZ from a 6BT will still argue with you on the internet!
The fact so many people recognize the car makes it even more special and you can never get rid of it.
So many think it's diesel
Lmfao
***Sees inline 6 with a giant Turbo***
"Must be a diesel."
With spark plugs throttle body and dohc lmao.
jesus eh no one knows therr motors omg diesil dont have spark plugs
Hmm Maybe he should diesel swap it 🤔
Mike you're a maniac, don't ever change. I was laughing out loud on a Sunday morning. Thanks.
I see Benny's 1200hp cresta and the barra fox body chillin in the background 😎 love watching the show from Australia Mike 😉👍
Props to the guy for figuring the catch can so quickly
Right? That was impressive.

Nothing better than an angry 2jz, just waiting for you to make a toyota mini truck with a 2jz in it and run 8's :D
You know. A 12valve might not be a bad idea for the car I know you love the 2j though if you ever want something different in the car I'd suggest that. I could see that being fun

Yeah. It's a diesel. With dual overhead cams, a throttle body, ignition coils and spark plugs.
If you made a comment about it being a diesel and you can prove it that you I'm sure Mike Finnegan will send you a free t-shirt??

I’m a MoPpar guy so in my humble opinion, you did not ruin your Charger. It was ruined before you got it! It's all about the fun ...
Mike, Miller Digital Elite on “grind” is awesome when using death wheels! I inspect mine, even if I’m using the shield.
I say screw the people who rage at the fact there is a 2JZ GE engine. Chances are that car would have never run again and would have been scrapped no matter what anyone says.
Long as the car is back on the road and it's something people can enjoy then that is the best thing ever.
To keep a wheel from becoming a death wheel also check the manufacturing date, which is on every cutting wheel, and keep them in a low humidity climate.
Like I was told growing up may not like someone's build but respect it because that's the dream they had
Thanks for keeping the Cresta and Fox safe for us mate :)

man , no silly music is awesome , keep it up , if you want music , use an engine , its a car show no a disco , sorry , hugs , tom.
not too many people in the car show, that knew anything about cars. for people going to a car show, lol
You have a Hemi in everything except what really needs a Hemi...
The hole in the tractor flapper kinda defeats the purpose to keep the water out, Doesn’t it ??
love the crust, hate the wheels.... would love to see a V8 return to the car some day. :-)
I would not know a 2JZ if I saw it in person, so at least half knew exactly what it was.
PLEASE drive it to a classic Mopar event next. God the reaction video alone would be hilarious.
Watching people's reactions to the car was a blast! It's anthropology, basically! Great stuff!
I am a car guy but from the 50’s & 60’s,I am not afraid to ask just what is a 2JZ? Also what is 2JZ out of? I went thru a shit load of the comments & didn’t see anyone ask the basic question? What is it? Your “55” is more my love!
It's a Toyota 3 liter I6 out of a Toyota Supra or a Lexus....Japanese equivalent to a small block Chevy because people shove it in to anything it will fit in.
So I guess you gotta put a diesel 2J in it 🤣 so Mercedes OM 606 then
Just mount it at an angle and tell the purists its an experimental alloy dohc slant 6
When you first announced you were putting in the 2JZ I was skeptical, but I like it now! Maybe the people who thought it was diesel were getting it confused with the Cummins swapped Torino?
The amount of people that said its a diesel or a Cummins lmao disappoints me.
You have a cool car. Been a fan of you & frieberger since you guys built nascarlo. You guys inspired me to pick up wrenches after a long time of "F working on stuff!" due some bad experiences with the Army and local city jobs. Keep up the good work. I need to order one of your shirts when i get paid.
Totally worth any comment not approving, I’m a muscle car guy, and I’m bored with the same old stuff, plus kids are into imports more than ever , so you get a bigger audience. Paint a rising sun on the hood in red, dare you
For sure. Sometimes gets old seeing the same stuff all the time. Like how there will be a line of ‘32 hot rods that all have a 350 Chevy.
I really like watching builds from places like Australia because they commonly use “oddball” engines since they don’t always have the cheap and easy access to stuff like we do in the states.
I see the eldarto there did friburger ask to store it there or did you buy it
All those hyper-dollar rides, and the Death Metal Charger turns up and is the center of attention. :D
loved it a ton. unbelievable and super unique. so unique 🤘
Is that Benny's Cresta in the back? Love it!!!
It "blasphemi", but in another way
I love a frankinstien monster, I love this crazy car, as the owner of a Volvo 242 with a supercharged Lexus LS 400 engine & gearbox, I totally approve of what you've done, Rj in Oz
Cool not only fellow Aussie but same 1UZ setup 👍
@@brentonmiller8861 cheers buddy,
Why is Benny's barra cresta in your shed mate
Nice Cressida there in the background
Why no audio immediately after the intro ?
It seems like it may have been better overall to just permanently extend the pipe to the "new" length and put the flapper atop that. But, it's your car and not mine, so you do as you please! It WAS funny watching all those people thinking it was a Cummins diesel! And the tetanus jokes!
Finnegan I love the the car you have something different for everyone posted on your channel . Many many years ago just to get down the road my broke ass friends and I put together some crazy junkyard rides . It always surprised me when a few people volunteered negative trolls types of comments to teenagers . We didn't know what we were doing always had a great time .
I absolutely love this car. I may not be into jdm cars or their motors. Hell I may not totally agree with the swap. But the creativity u have to come up with the idea of it and do it, I appreciate it. When it comes to cars, u shouldn't build them to please others. U should build them to make u proud and happy of what u have created. Wether it's a full restore or just a car no one cared for that is rusted out and falling apart. I honestly love the Chevy Beretta. I have always wanted to either restore one or build a custom one. One day. One day.
i tottally get the "what is it??" engine question... even though i've been around cars and selling parts for 40 + years!! Did not think for a minute you were trying to embarass anyone or anything like that!! keep up the builds man!! love it!!
