That’s a sad/great story about your friend. In a weird way, the connection with and loss of friends finds its way into the fabric of the things we do. That love and friendship surely has made its way into your build.
Nah that upside down sticker isn’t for hanging the EMS upside down but because they are a Australian company so that sticker is for their local customer’s!
Benzina really hit the spot with the shirt Mike... May as well keep the name, came out awesome! Ask them to make some more shirts for us ;-) That's a nice merch there my friend.
I wanted to reach out and offer my condolences for the loss of your friend, it truly says a lot about your character that you are willing to share his story. I have suffered a lot of loss in my family over the last 2 years and I can say I know how much it hurts, however I also know how much being around friends and family can help to ease the pain. Focused on all the time you shared together and the memories that will get you through the hard times. I must say I'm fighting back tears as I wright this because I lost the 2 most influential women in my life. I personally would love to hear your stories and experience the love you had for your friend. I am new to the channel and have been enjoying your format and the Ferrari build, reminds me of the posters on my wall. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Mike. In the old days, we used to say how people came into our livingrooms every week via TV. Still the same but just a different medium. Great personal touch this video about Cory. That is what makes a channel special and gets us invested as E friends. I have 77 GTB close in serial no to Rob's. Have some nice Benzina products myself which I believe is his wife's venture! They are all involved! See ya Thursday!
Sorry for your loss. Don't apologize to us for loving your friend, he obviously meant a lot to you. That shirt and bandana are awesome, but anyone who saves Dinos has great taste. Keep up the great work, this is my favorite project build. The scale and depth of this build is pretty incredible.
Been watching the channel for a few weeks now and am blown away by what you have accomplished. That said, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine how difficult it was to lose your friend and then come back to record a new video. Your content is inspirational, not just due to the extreme amount of work involved in this project, but also because you show us those "human" moments of mess ups, frustrations, and now loss. Please know that you inspire the rest of us to power through life and keep sight of the important things. Thanks for sharing, and can't wait to see how things turn out
I have to admit that I rarely remember to leave likes, but today Mike's attitude reminded me. Well done Sir, you are a pleasure to watch and the car is a work of art.
I am running a Haltech platinum pro in my sons k20 swapped '87 Pontiac Fiero. Haltech has been one of the best, if not the best, aftermarket companies. Their tech support is 2nd to none. The software interface is written with tons of additional information and hints. You can tell their products are made by genuine car people. I found learning the Haltech tuning software was way more intuitive than Hondata kprov4 being used in my k24a2 swapped '88 Fiero. I love the nexus r5! Color me jealous!
Not sure if you'll read this, but through lockdown here in Aus its been really good to have something to look forward to. Even got my dad onto your channel and we catch up on the phone to talk about the updates you power through. Keep killing it man! Youre inspiring reaches far past what you know 🙌
Great setup! Glad to see you getting support from great brands. I’m sorry for your loss, hopefully the passion you put into the build can pay homage to your friend
Sorry about your friend. Such a shame! I know how it feels. When I lost my mother, it was painful. Even more when I lost both of my sweet dogs in the same year after 16 years. Death is really painful. Yes, keep them close to your heart with positive memories. Talking about their memories keep them alive in your heart. Glad to see your dog has a bedding to sit on & supervise your work. :-)
Cory was a great guy and I had the privilege of working with him for a while. Cory’s love of E30’s rubbed off on me and it was he that got me in to the rabbit hole that E30’s are. He will be missed and I thank you for taking the time to talk about him.
Love to hear about him! When you're ready to tell the story I'll for sure listen! Also, I'm a Tennessee man as well. Lived in Chattanooga all my life. Great to see a fellow Volunteer out in California cause my son is stationed in Monterey at the Presidio. Keep up the awesome work brother!
I’ve been trying to get Jerry rig everything to consider a pdm on his electric hummer build . A very well thought out electronics package you have yourself .
Mike this is such an awesome series dude. it's super interesting because I'm like half learning how to do some stuff I want to do. I don't have automotive fabrication skills or anything but your videos are sort of a tutorial on each thing. Also - so sorry to hear about your friend Cory man. What I have learned , and probably you as well, is that loss is sort of like weight lifting. It starts out heavy, but after a while of working at it, it gets easier to lift. The weight is the same but you are stronger. Take care brother
Sorry about your loss, mate. Sounds like Cory was a top bloke and a bit of a character so I can't wait to hear his story. Love the build and as a proud Aussie I am glad to see you using the Haltech Nexus it's an awesome product. I'm kind of jealous actually would love to strip all the electrics out of my Corolla FX with 4agze and use one but it may be a little overkill haha!
Sorry to here about your friend, and yes you have a lot of support from a lot of us. Great information on the electrical system see you in the next video ✌🏽
Thanks Mike. I love this series. Nice intro for Haltech too, I'll consider buying one for my project car now I know it can run the engine and act as a PDM.
As has been said... take your time, do what you need to do, you'll find us all here when you're ready to get back into the build. In the meantime, these videos are still interesting and engaging, loving the content as always.
Loosing friends is hard. Especially when they are young and would typically have so much ahead of them. Sorry for your lose. It's great that you'll spend part of episode telling us about him. I'm looking forward to the episode.
Oh my goodness, well done brother. That haltech is at the pinnacle of the tech. I think this is one the most expensive build. Very sad and we pray for those who lost thier lives for a new life after life and wishing him a great journey. Peace ✌️
Production quality of your videos gets better with every release keep up the great work Edit: you're doing a great job btw I love builds with such attention to detail
Dude, the support from your subscribers is insane! Also, Benzina is a legend, so cool the work he has done with his brother and father but also super cool he supports your work too. A true enthusiast, not an elitist.
So sorry to hear about your friend man. This year has been crap. I have lost a few people this year as well. That car is going to be sooooooooo sick !!
Hi Mike, glad to hear that you were able to celebrate your friend's life properly. I can't wait to see the technical details of the ECU installation and the explanation of how each functionality will be tuned and used in your application. I missed Glovehand and his big brother Furrhand in this episode.
I hope, this build gets the recognition that it deserves 🙏🏼 I wish Jay Leno would invite him I hope larry chen does a build bio and Hoonigan invites hime to shred the yard
Watching this was a great way to start the day. “Now I know none of y’all ain’t gonna try to tell me that none of these cars made those marks in the road.” Lol.
Simply one of the best content out there. I always learn something every week. So sorry for the loss of your friend. No need to apologize for not doing the piping. That will always be there. Good friends and memories are priceless.
I have been watching this series from the beginning and I am always just happy to see what you have. The wrenching vids are good but so is the other content. What I appreciate is the quality of the work being done. My condolences on the loss of your friend and I am looking forward to learning about how to wire a car using an aftermarket ecu.
Those Nexus R5's look the biz Mike. Those Skid Factory blokes down in Oz just fitted one into a mega horsepower Barra powered Bedford van (!) - looks like an incredibly versatile piece of kit. Traction control in an aftermarket ECU?... awesome. Sorry again to hear about your mate and looking forward to hearing his story sometime ;-)
Nice work so far, you should integrate see magnets onto that oil filter cover. Then it looks great and serves a function. Sorry for you loss of a mate too.
Mike, kudos for continuing to get great content out in the midst of everything that happened with your friend, I think we all would have understood if you wanted to take some more time for yourself (even if the TH-cam algorithm doesn't). Sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Cory. I know my words can't really bring any comfort or fill the void that a friend like him would leave in your life. But I will tell you that your build is inspiring me to reconsider the direction I was going to go with my Lotus Esprit. Before I saw your build, I was pretty much sold on going with an LS swap. Now that I see what you're doing - I'm thinking this might be a better way to go.
@@foamdataservices I just looked at the weight of the motor I was going to put in my car (LT5) and it looks like that's about 575 pounds vs the 300ish pounds for this build. I'm going to be curious to see what the total drivetrain weight ends up being on this build. Also want to see how the car sounds!
Love the videos regardless of content, I always learn something even if that big naked wiring harness gave me a slight bit of anxiety 😅. Also looking forward to the story about your friend, and I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss Mike. Sounds like great guy. Regarding the build, please convince convince your guy to go with the ECU with full wiring harness. I’d love to see that install and later see the full functionality. Not sure if some of that would be lost by going with the custom harness.
Here's a stupid/ sentimental idea for you - Put Cory on a front license plate bolt or front splitter or some such part, that way he's always on the first part of the car to cross the finish line! Seems like a nice way to include him in the cars victories, and forever tie him to the project you were working on when you lost him.
dump some enamel paint into the logo on the oil filter cover to make it pop. also, sorry to hear about your friend Cory, thanks for sharing that. I have a non-lethal but chronic auto-immune disease, and am looking forward to hearing more about your friend.
K24 GTB Turbo...rockin name...what a great gift!

Great content ✅ nice build ✅ regular uploads ✅
Why is this channel not at 500k subs yet 🤔
You inspire me to start buying fabrication tools and get started on a project.
Also, sorry about the loss of your friend.

Hey there Mike..good to see another episode up...carry on!
Good to see a fine Aussie-made product in the build.
Corey sounds like an excellent name for the car.

You just made my day Mike! I love this build series.

Really want Larry Chen to shoot this car
Sorry about your loss, mate.
Sounds like Cory was a top bloke and a bit of a character so I can't wait to hear his story.

Can't wait to hear Cory's story sounds like a really interesting guy.. fantastic new equipment for the build the tech is so cool great episode
Bless Up 🙏🏾… We’ll be here to listen when you’re ready, Bruv 🙏🏾
Love the series....but gotta shoutout Haltech....Doing Australia proud! 🤘🇦🇺
Sorry to here about your friend, and yes you have a lot of support from a lot of us. Great information on the electrical system see you in the next video ✌🏽
Also im sorry to hear you lost your buddy!
Take the time you need to get over your loss, they will always be with you in some way or form!
Rywire is going to take the wiring to the level it deserves!
Can't wait to hear Cory's story. He seemed like a great guy
stop apologizing man, episode was great. We enjoy fab work AND parts unboxing.
Thanks Mike. I love this series. Nice intro for Haltech too, I'll consider buying one for my project car now I know it can run the engine and act as a PDM.

Oil filter cover is nice looking!! I like it. If it became mech I’d totally support it
I like it that the colors match the car, come Mike, you gotta pull finger before the schedule slips
Loosing friends is hard. Especially when they are young and would typically have so much ahead of them. Sorry for your lose. It's great that you'll spend part of episode telling us about him. I'm looking forward to the episode.
This build should have a million views per episode. I'm so sorry for your loss, and appreciate everything you shared.
Oh my goodness, well done brother. That haltech is at the pinnacle of the tech. I think this is one the most expensive build. Very sad and we pray for those who lost thier lives for a new life after life and wishing him a great journey. Peace ✌️
We will have you in our prayers, the mods can wait brother. Blessings man
In love with this build. Thank you for sharing all of this with us! ❤
it would be a shame to put anything less than the Nexus R5, they really killed it with this product
My condolences for your loss man I’m stoked to hear your friends story
Your depth of field is crazy, makes it look like you're using a green screen. Best build youtuber ever.
Production quality of your videos gets better with every release keep up the great work

Love what you're doing and would love to hear your friend's story. I'm sure I speak for most of us here
Very sorry to hear about your friend Cory. We may not know Cory however feel your pain on losing a close one to heart. R.I.P Cory
Surely do a run of those shirts, would love to support the build
Aye it’s a really cool build bud! Attention to detail is phenomenal! Can’t wait to see the finished product! 👍
Mike your videos are the Best on TH-cam 👍👍👍

Rob gives his heart and soul, and all I can do is criticize and looks for imperfections. I feel bad now. But only for a brief moment . Back to living.
thanks now I want a Haltech in every car we have, even the Yaris
Hell yeah!!!! I've been looking at the r5 since pre-release!!!!
I can't wait to hear his story.
AAAWWWWW YEAHHHH, seriously, I been looking for more Nexus R5 builds. It's such a game changer.
Can't wait to hear this thing running!

Great channel, good guy and id be glad to listen to your story about Cory.
Glued to the tube for all of the updates. Love the content and the beats!!! The opening beat is soooo savage! Thanks again
Very impressive and informative video. What an amazing unit. Sad for your loss of your friend. Condolences from OZ.
Love the videos regardless of content, I always learn something even if that big naked wiring harness gave me a slight bit of anxiety 😅. Also looking forward to the story about your friend, and I'm sorry for your loss.
I like clean built they're so underrated cuz they take alot of time
Never say sorry for handling life your way. Great up date and keep up with the great content
Damn, that Haltech unit is something else.
Sorry for your loss.
It had better be good for $4000
The extra $250 on the wiring harness is a total bargain.
Love the channel and love your work - great job on everything that you do - keep it up mate.
all tech in small box.
love your content

Hi Mike, sorry for your loss. I was diagnosed with another autoimmune disease (MS) 7 years ago, but luckily keep going. Thanks for all you do.
Friend of mine also autoimmune disease was told to stay away from the vaccine, did you take it?
@@ant208 yes as soon as I could.
Good start to the morning!! Sorry for your loss
put yellow in lay in the logo on the cup on the oil cooler, makes the cooler look cooler
A PDM is simply out of reach for me but man that’s so cool, great video.
I look forward to all of these! God bless Cory 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
que proyectaso ya lo quiero ver terminado
Nice filter cap, but I'd prefer the cooling and go without.
Sorry for your loss!!
Instala uma Fuelltech 🇧🇷 nessa lasanha… melhor injeção do mundo da performance
