a nice lil tip for those that try to remove their steering wheel but its stuck - dont take off the bolt or the nut all the way, leave it screwed in for a few threads, so that way when you gorilla power pull it, you dont smack yourself in the face
It's one of those "ask me how i know" stories. -_-
Can confirm
"Gorilla power pull it"😂😂😂😭😭😭💀💀💀
Sounds like someone experienced that first hand!!
Too late
I think we need a jayz two cars discord where the community can post stuff as well as TH-cam showcase of other peoples cars
The R8 body is timeless, one of my favorite cars.
I admit, when Jay reached for the horn, I legit waited for the *HONK HONK! POW!!!!*
Hi Jay, the paddles have a weird thing where you need to leave the screw a bit loose and use lock tight to stop the binding.
Always a good day when this channel gets another video, R8 is dope, keep it up Jay!
That's one sick car, Jay.
Off topic/stoner thought - since you're getting into 3d printing (as am I, just setup my CR-6 Max) you should have a side channel for that called JaysTwoPrints. 🤣
Jay only struggled with the electronics because he didn't have his IFIXIT!!!eXpLoSiOn!!! kit.
*slaps the frunk* "this baby can hold so many dead dwarf escorts"
Hell yeah, been missing your car content mate 🤘🤘
As I am watching you bring all of your parts to a work bench, I am staring at all my panel screws and bolts laying on my floor board. You are inspiring. Lol
Magnetic trays are my favorite. Keep them stored on the side of my tool box, then take them with me to whatever project I'm working on to hold all the screws, bolts, ect...
So glad your two cars channel has gotten more active recently, love this channel as much as twocents.
Been waiting for one of these videos haha love both the channels jay! your content as been entertaining, keep that content coming dude!!
Proper loving these videos Jay, been a big fan on 2cents for long time now..and this it right up my street
Seriously looking forward to the 68 Camaro as well 💪🏻
more car content if you have time Jay!!!! always watching the old ones. great content!
hell yeah, great to have an update to the channel. love the car content
Damn that thing sounds amazing & that’s before the new exhaust? Ohhhh, I can’t wait to hear that! BTW, you’re braver than I am swapping out a steering wheel lol. Great video Jay, looking forward to the next one!
Hey Jay, this might be dumb but also might save some time, I have a car where the battery is hidden as well and what I did was install a battery kill switch. Im confident I dont need to explain further but it might help in the future so you dont have to take apart the front end like that to access what you need and etc. Just a thought! Great video though, fun to see you jumping into your side hobbies/passions. Sadly youtube never shows me these videos when theyre uploaded which drives me nuts but what can you do.
Jay is the man, PCs and dope cars my favorites
First time JayzTwoCars is in my recommendations, been subbed to your other channel for years.
this was the same thing when i got my wheel for my Subaru... very worth it. By far my favorite mod on the car... and a wonderful birthday present from my lady :)
Damn glad for the upload!
Traxxas Slash spotted in the background! As an RC racer, I'd love to see some content of you and the guys visiting an RC track to see what you guys think of it.
Hot damn i've been waiting for a new video on this channel, hope to see more of them when the 68' is being re-assembled.
Also very nice choice on the steering wheel, enjoy it!
Love these vids, keep it up!
Glad to see you back making Vids on her Jay, nice upgrade.. I was going to give you a hard time when you said stock was boring, but the accents and looks are spot on, well done sir, well done.
wow, i love this jay, i found you through your PC videos, then i heard you mention a car analogy in one of your PC videos, and out of curiosity i googled jayztwocents car and found this channel, this is so awesome to see!!
Im just glad you didn't add the cheap shift lights and lcd screen to the wheel. Good taste Jay, love the HRE's
YAY on progress on the '68. Much as I'm a Mustang guy, that era of Camaro is a great car.
I forgot this channel existed, probably should enable notification bell
Alcantara isn't suede, it's made out of synthetic fibers 😉
But it's a really nice car. Got my steering wheel covered in Alcantara too.
I was going to ask if you still had the ZLE but that was answered rather early in the video lol. Glad to see another video on the TwoCars channel. New wheel looks good and excited for the VF stuff in the future.
R8's are one of the sexiest car designs ever
hey Jay im a huge fan of your pc tech channel, im building a 94 s10 race truck with a small block chevy 383, and im super excited, im super excited that i can enjoy your car experience as well! lol
Funny guys, always making me laugh haha
Jay honestly, id love for you to do more car content
Car channel upload, lets gooooo
Really enjoy this channel as a PC hardware enthusiast turned car enthusiast (seems common) 😀
With my F30 335i I've had similar experiences with aftermarket paddles. Seems like OEM is the best bet for actually functional paddles, others I've tried have issues similar to what you experienced on your R8.
Nothing better than Building your own PC the pride aftreward is insane same with Cars expecially high end sports cars when you do the work yourself 1 you know The job is done right 2 you get the same feeling when its done as you do with the PC
I didn't realize you were a car guy, as well as a professional nerd. Cool! Enjoying your vids Jay. I don't mean the nerd part as derogatory. I wish I had been into PC's years before I did. Pictures are a great idea for working on different things.
I’ve been watching jay’s pc channel for a while and I knew he was a car guy but I didn’t know he had some of my 3 favorite cars!! As a current camaro owner I can’t wait to get more cars lol
Phil could get locked in there 😂
J2c vid 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love seeing car videos almost as much as tech videos
Love the harbor freight tools! I recognized them because I have almost every one of them too
Damn first time seeing your R8. Looks great!
That new wheel looks amazing. You gotta get this thing out to the Thermal Club and do a few hot laps with it 😉
Nice man. I just picked up similar for my S2000. I got a forged carbon flat bottomed modded OEM wheel from EndlessRPM. I love it.
Ah... triple square. Had to buy a set for my VW as well... good stuff. I bought that exact set off Amazon. Haha
Passenger floor, with the fuse box, top left...... there is a red cable..... that pops the "Frunk"
as someone who works in the industry we dont unplug the battery takes to long snd time is money. all the connectors for airbags are a dual release one release grounds it so it doesn't go off then the second actually disconnects it
Nevermind the R8, I want to see more with that golf cart behind you 🤣
Triple square? Spline socket 😂 just messing, different parts of the world. Love the car videos
It's sounds so good! Can't wait to hear it after the exhaust install.......I would sooooooo choose an R8 over a Huracan!!!! I do wish they still had a manual option though!!
4:08 "Who would get locked in there"?
Possibly Phil?
68! 68! 68!
Great to hear that we shall be seeing it before too long!
AMG 63S and R8? :o Daaaamn! I am glad to see you enjoying the fruits of your hard work the best way possible :) btw, it seems you picked up a German bug! Was Nick and his old Golf to blame? :)))))
Part of the issue with the paddles is that with most CFRP is that it's not fully carbon fiber but carbon wrapped fiberglass so there's quite a bit of flex as well. If those paddles were metal (like an aluminum alloy) and the spring was adjusted...
You might just want to swap to the Plus paddles which are just a tad bigger and might be reachable with your hands at 10 & 2.
Love the car stuff Jay, that v10 sounds absolutely glorious. Would love a video dedicated to the GLE63s!
I have a dual clutch in my RS. Love it.
funny u say that about trying to pry the wiper arms off, i did the excact thing on my b7 a4 and cracked the glass :( , nice car btw...
I love the car videos on the r8!
I've learned a lot about computers from watching your videos so ill give you some pointers about safety. 9:58 never place an airbag facedown in the case that it goes off unless you want a new face or a new skylight for the garage. Its more of a precaution in the event that the airbag malfunctions because that shit will eject.
Another cool tip is when you have disconnected the battery in the car already and then entirely removed the airbag from the car there's zero current going into the airbag when it's sitting on the parts bench. Because of this phenomenon you can literally throw it around like a baseball or sit it anywhere and not worry about a single thing. Airbags don't just go off or malfunction outside of a car, they require a specific voltage to and from the module in the event of a hard impact INSIDE the car. He's fine.
Jay: *turns the steering wheel* that works
if you haven't already, keep a good stock of coils around and a few in the car. stinks when you have a random misfire while you're out and about and nobody has one.
Looks ace! Also can't wait for the Camaro vid
Silver looks good with the Carbon good choice add some contrass
Perfectly timed release, honestly!
Hey Jay I have a 18 Camaro ZL1 M6 and have been dreaming of getting an Audi R8. Can't afford the new model possibly going with a 14 / 15. Have you regretted any part of going with an DCT R8?
Couldn't you pull the manual release in the frunk and leave it pulled so that the hatch doesn't lock?
if you open the wiper arm after you loosen the nut and push down on the arm, towards the car, or the ground, pull up, and repeat. The wipers will come off without any use of tools or damaging the windshield.
thats a sick car also really nice bikes :)
could you please show how to use shifter panels? I am to scared to ask my brother who I got my current a3 s-line from as a hand me down basically
Dude the intro was ecstatic! Heaven forbid you seem excited to make more money than anyone who watches you.....
How were you able to tune in CA? What will you do come next smog? I really want to tune as well.
Jay, you torque the steering wheel retaining nut with a torque wrench. You DON’T hit it with an impact wrench!
yup, this is probably why it was off by one tooth, it's possible that the impact changes the steering alignment ever so slightly.
Now we need exhaust!! MOAR SOUND
I understand nothing but I still enjoyed this video. Maybe one day I will understand this car lingo xD
Cool steering wheel. Digging that HRE split 5 spoke choice too. Not a fan of Wings on the back of R8's though. Personally I think they look better clean in the back. But hey it's your car.
I’m just amazed that your drill is still working. I had the exact same drill and burned it out after 7-8 years.
when Jay starts talking about inserting his shaft in the hole...**insert Evan & Katelyn "we're not that type of channel" here**
6:41 I feel you there, I’m 6’4 350+ and I DONT FIT IN ANYTHING. Lol I also wear a size 16 shoe so that really makes driving certain vehicles damn near impossible. I had to borrow my mothers Toyota van and I expected to be crunched in there, but what I didn’t expect was the gas pedal being like an inch and a half wide right next to the console. No joke I was only able to use my pinky toe to push the pedal. Needless to say I will never try to drive it again.
that jump scare at 17:23
Those wheels and stack of R888's 😍
Really enjoying these videos, look forward to them. Not sure how Audi does it but my Golf R will switch to automatic if you hold one of the paddles. So if it gets stuck, it's not a big issue. Still not something I would want happening.
The audi will be exactly the same buddy
@@milkonbean Cool, good to know.
I have the 6-Speed Manual R Mk7.5 - no point to this comment other than great car choice :)
@@iamgates7679 7.5 DSG, great choice to you too sir.
Idk how I feel about the start/stop switch being on the wheel. If you accidentally hit that while driving will it shut off?
Look into the Lamborghini Urus paddles. They have a great shape, they're not as long and view-blocking as the others, and they're OEM fitment.
Shifter switches have certain tolerences and the stock switch can only take so much offset on the leverage. So it's not necessarily the shifter pedals that a binding, but the switch themselves.
Definitely needs to go to "Sheepie Race" for twin turbo's!
It’s been so long since we saw you here last!
I’ll vouch for DCTs, my mk6 golf has one and it’s amazing, the smoothest shifting I’ve ever felt
I definitely like the silver more than the carbon. The carbon is more aftermarket, and the silver is more OEM+. Excellent choice and thats one helluva car!
Hey Jay. How about paddles in ZL1? Did you make them smaller? I have non-1LE manual and hate those. I am past hating way of turning on rev match, but those paddles are so BIG I click them when I drive like nut job. Its the only time when I would say paddles are too big...
watching you fix and build pc's always impresses me but being a tech my whole life, watching you do a simple swap on a car makes me feel not so dumb.
My Alfa Romeo Giulia has a similar battery issue. Battery is in the trunk, and trunk is electric, the only way in is a jump from under front hood or a pole through the ski slot to pop the trunk with the emergency switch. Even the levers to bring the seats down is in the trunk.
going to get a wheel for the zl1?
i remeber when this guys barely made a video for us know they buy the stuff they always want it i am really happy for them Linus bought a building Jay bought a really nice cars
Great car love the R8
Can you document the supercharger install?
Car sounds fantastic cant imagine how it's going to sound after exhaust
100% Phil would be kidnapped in the frunk
