The violin bit was funny. I know exactly how you feel, some of the stuff I see other TH-camrs doing takes them an hour whereas it takes me a day. I'm also finding it hard to post videos since I'm too occupied actually working on the car. Keep up the good work!
The struggle is real, it sucks how recording makes a 1 hour job into 3 hours 😫
I'm not going to lie. I'm going to miss seeing the hoopties, but the CR-X should bring in more viewers. 👍
There will still be some but not many . I also have some back logs of hoopties lol
Hoopties are what brought a lot of us in and to keep watching. We all thought that the hoopties couldnt get worse, he proved us wrong! LoL.
Thank you, Jon!
Thanks for always watching , hope you enjoyed it.
Love the war paint application to your face 😂
💯🤣👍
You are more than just mech a nic. You are an artist. Another amazing production keep up the hard work.
Thank you 💯👍
Wow full time tuber is something I could never do . That's a super hard job but I'm sure with your experience and skill you will do just great . 👍
Thank you Steve, I have to keep pushing forward 💪
Ohhh MAN!!!!!! You have no IDEA!!! This brings me back to my elementary school days in the 70s, playing the violin... lol
WTF was with the smoking?? LMAO!!!!
😁🤣 that was my first time smoking a cigarette in like 20 years 🤣
Always watch your videos🎥 and will continue to watch all the best👍👍👍
Thank you for the support 🙏
Top video. I have A JDM CR-X Si and your vods have inspired me to get a few things fixed on the car.
That's amazing!! Glad the video is inspiring. You have a rare car, hold onto it.
Its such a cool car im really glad you have it,thank you sir
It's definitely a fun car! Thank you for was always watching 💯💪
This brings back memories of my first engine swap on my CRX. Nice!!
What engine did you swap into it?
@@themechanic6117 Did the good old mini-me, except I put in a D16Z6 block with a D16Y8 head. Haha.
Kept disintegrating catalytic converters. Never could figure out why.
Maybe running rich? I remember back in the day a ton of people ran the D series turbo. They hauled ass pretty decent!
@@themechanic6117 Yeah man! Turbo D was totally the way to go. On my next car, an EG hatch, I built a Z6 motor for boost. But then I ran out of money, and college took priority, so I sold it before boosting. Oh well.
It probably was.running rich. I never really figured out tuning it. Your CRX, on the other hand, is gonna be sweet!!
My wife insisted I get life insurance once I get the crx running with the new engine 🤣😵
I’ll be honest I haven’t watched in a long time. I originally subbed back in the day for the CRX. I’m glad I watched and got to look in and it’s awesome you have grown to cool
There's plenty more crx content on the way 👍
Hey man I’ve been growing my channel my self and I think a good content for you would be turn some of your old videos into shorts and get some more viewers… it gives some of your older content a second chance of getting in front of new viewers
That's actually a great idea, I don't have any shorts but I think I should jump on that wagon. Thank you
No problem man hope it helps
When you post make sure it’s between 3pm and 6pm the best I’ve done is 4,000 views in the first 30 mins of posting
I thought I was watching a Stanley Kubrick film. That was fantastic. I prefer the voice over rather than silence. That engine is beautiful
Thanks for watching, some people may say I'm extra but as long as it's entertaining I say it's fine lol
The double squeeze after putting on the CRX gloves. Classic move 👌🤣🤣
Natural man instinct 😁
Your mystery plug is the oil pressure switch plug, good times the single prong design keeps it nice and snug on there until you have to pull it after who knows how long.
Thank you! Yeah I felt like I was going to break the wire! After it popped off , I was like....that was easy .😁
It doesnt matter you do it with a little bit strugle. Butt you get the job done. Great job. First engine alone. 💪🏻🇳🇱
Thank you! You're right about that, feels so good to finally have that knocked out !
Everything seems to be a struggle these days... even my morning poo !
LoL, the oil treatment.
Definitely had fun making this video lol
No explanation needed, we see that you're busy. I love the CRX, in my younger days. I knew many people that owned one. They are quality cars.
My first crx was a black 90 SI , even though this is a completely different car every time I drive it I feel like I'm 18 again back in my 90 SI ❤️
Intro was awesome !! Keep 'em coming, i always watch your content,
Thank you for that, Glad you enjoyed it 💯
The connector was the sending unit for the engine temp. Your production value is so entertaining, I don't know where you come up with all the creative concepts. I love the work you are doing to this car. Working my way through everyone of these CRX videos. As a CRX owner as well you have inspired some of the work I completed on my car. I still have a long way to go but you have inspired me to keep making progress. Thank you for all you do
I appreciate the comment. Glad my videos are motivating! Keep up the work💪
Dude forget the engine , where’s the lift “. Remember we spoke about it when you were living in the last place..just messing with you.. That is a sweet engine going in the CR-X..best of luck with it..🙏 no seriously where’s the lift !!!
Unfortunately a two post lift just won't fit in the garage. If it does it'll turn the garage into a 1 car garage. The only thing that might work is one of those scissor lifts that sits flush with the ground
Ignore the detractors and carry on……..your humor in great!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Lol dude. I love it here
Me too👍🏿
Thank you guys 💪
Best of luck to you in your endeavour. Will be here to watch as always.
Thank you
Longtime viewer....nice to finally see you making progress on your CRX! I appreciated your editing choices on this upload. Well done. Cheers!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video
You did it!
Sure did ! I even got the new engine test fit in the car . The video is up already
I have been watching every video you post practically since day one and have enjoyed them to no end. I don't know where you moved to, but I am certain that a person with your skill level is definitely needed. Just as important, a person with your INTEGRITY is PRICELESS! I hope you continue with your auto repair business despite the frustrations your previous customers in your old neighborhood caused. In any case, I wish you the best of luck and will always look forward to your creative and informative videos. You've taught me so much the last few years and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm going to keep pushing forward and keep doing what I do first .💪 thank you for watching
Lol that moment u realize coolant was still in the engine and u try looking for the bucket 😂 but in yr head you was like f it I will clean it up later
Yeah , I was like ....screw it, it's not important right now. 🤣
Just the video I needed. Might be pulling the all stock D15B2 out of my ‘91 Civic here soon… 😬
There's no denying those D series are crazy reliable! But more power is always nice! Lol
@@themechanic6117 not doing the swap for power at all. My D15B2 actually has a problem I can’t figure out. Constant code 4, crank angle. Been trying to figure it out for months. You name it, I’ve checked it. So with 205K, my “reliable” D series might be dead. I’m waiting on a used ECU to arrive and then I will know for sure. Sad, cause I did want to put many more miles on the stock D15B2.
X-mas came early, i've been waiting for so long and was very excited to finally see you make some progress on this car
It also seemed like Christmas to me! I know people have been waiting so I figured it was time to give my viewers a early Christmas gift. 👍
Helped out a ton thanks
Thanks for watching
Nice... started out like a feature film. Great collaboration with Big Dog!
Glad you enjoyed the video, the beginning may have been a bit over the top lol
Good stuff 🔥🔥🤜🏽🤛🏽
I've been a long time viewer of yours and you have never disappointed me. Your dedication, honesty, quality of your work is priceless. Best of all, your comments are pure entertainment!
I'm so glad of your success and wish you even more in the future.
Keep pumping out the vids and having fun at the same time.
Your one of a kind!
Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate you watching. Plenty more videos to come .
As usual, good work. Always enjoy the videos. Appreciate your humble attitude in a world full of noise. Good luck on the youtube channel. I will be watching and waiting for more on this build👌
Thank you, I appreciate the comment. More videos be coming soon 👍
Excellent editing skills. Had me thinking my PC was on the fritz with quick cuts!
I spend too many hours sitting at the computer editing lol
Thank you, your editing skills are boss! I've been looking forward to this one since the time lapse 😄
Thank you and I appreciate you waiting. Things should be moving along faster now .
Always watch from start to finish. Subscribed for the k series stuff, but honestly love watching the turds you work on. No matter what I will watch what ever you put out. Love the content. 🤔 as long as you keep it car related 🤣
Thanks I appreciate the support 💪 , no plans on changing my channel to anything else lol
Yayyy
💪
Comment for the Algorithm 😂 love your vids man…keep them going
Yes!! Lol , the algorithm must be fed 🤣
@@themechanic6117 yes sir! Who knows in what mysterious ways it works?
Good luck with the TH-cam videos dude 🙌🏼
There's plenty more videos coming 💪
Keep up the great work John! I hope you continue and focus on your build instead of dealing with those turd vehicles you had to repair 😂
It'll be nice to focus on the crx . That's why I've been pumping out videos of servicing my personal cars because I just wanted to get that out of the way and now I'll have plenty of time for the crx 👍
Great video, Can I say your violin playing needs some practice 😂. Sorry to hear jobs aren't coming in at the moment, Fingers crossed your business will improve in your new neighbourhood. .
My violin playing is just as good as my cigarette smoking lol
Oh yeah, the B pin...those were the days when you definitely had to have zip ties on you on every trip
I've only heard stories of those pins.....not today Satan!! 😁
What editing software do you use? How do you mix a voiceover with original ambient sounds? That is so cool, I want to start doing that, next year on my Buick mod videos.
If you don't want to reveal here, then please email me, ok?
I got nothing to hide . I use filmora 10 editing software and a subscription to epidemic sound (to avoid copyright issues) .
At 9:18 do we have to remove the exhaust pipes if we’re lifting the engine up out of the engine bay?
No you don't have to
What wilwood front brake kit do you have ? 4 piston calipers ? I wanna upgrade the 88 civic lx front brakes !
Yes 4 piston calipers, it's the wilwood dynalite 11" kit for 88 - 00 civic / crx
@@themechanic6117 NICE ! What size pads ? Also OEM stock spindles used ?
Would that part of the crane be called the “arm” or the “boom”?
I think it's called a boom
Bro what kind of rims are the ones on ur crx they look nice!
Thank you, those are the advanti storm S1
Hello, I need help to remove my engine on my eg sedan? Will you help me?
This may or may not help but here's an angle. Have watched 2 guys' channels, they both only really service Toyotas, have their channels blow up pretty fast with brand specific videos. One, imo, is really bad, an occasional good tip but mostly the shallowest of content, crappy editing etc. The other has got better game and seems to be covering what all yota lexus fanboys think about. Not sure if there might be a Honda angle for you, but I bet the 'Honda repair' 'best honda' etc. search terms are huge on TH-cam. I think, just a guess, but if you advertised locally as just a single brand shop, wouldn't have to be honda of course, but then you build a client base for many years and stop getting the rando rust heap dropby crap that no one wants to hang parts on. Anyway, thanks for the videos, have a great weekend
Hey South Bend Indiana here lol I was just in Valpo Wendsday. Anyway is there a way I can contact you.
You can look up my account on Facebook or Instagram and msg me there
👍🏁🇳🇴
Thanks for watching!
🤣violin
😁👍
That violin.. I feel like Im watching a WW2 holocaust film.... Good work sir.
Sometimes I can be a bit extra lol, I usually get weird ideas on things to put in my videos lol. I'm just trying to entertain my viewers 😁👍
@@themechanic6117 stick to your day job... I watch CNN for entertainment LMAO
@@oldskool1979 can't blame a guy for trying
@@themechanic6117 Im joking.. your vids are great
Jon-
Start advertising. Your business will grow, better than before!
You were not "fixing cars", you were keeping dangerous junk alive, for sometimes
thankless, rude people.
You're in a much better situation now; neighborhood, Clientele and vehicles are more
reputable. Better weather. Way nicer work facilities. I can see you & channel growing soon, just give the economy a chance to regain it's losses, people get money in pockets, after the Holidays. Meanwhile- design & print some Flyers, post on billboards in businesses that allow it. IMO DO NOT PUT UNDER CAR WIPERS. PEOPLE HATE THAT. Places like laundromats, malls, grocery stores, etc. Look into advertising on Google, too! Craigslist is FREE. Please don't make "Shop Tour" videos- don't tell tweakers what you've got! Keep your stuff private. Get security cameras, well hidden, solar powered LTE are a must, around
$200 each, up in a tree, out of sight, out of mind. Take work by called-in appointment only.
Keep out the scum scam artists.
Thank you for all the tips and advice.
thought i was gunna watch you play violin and smoke cigarettes for 21 minutes.
Gotta keep everyone guessing, never let them know your next move .🤣👍
@@themechanic6117 🤣🤣 use that skit as a short for your channel lmao
L la I’m
No one knows what your thinking. 🤣🤣
Always keep them guessing 🤣👍
Been doing service advising for 23 years now. Time and time again, whether it was the dealer or indie shop, every time I heard a tech that ventured out on their own to try to run their own shop, be the tech and the writer, it never paid off. Most times they ended up being a 'friends and family' tech. Problem with that, not only did they think blood and friendship paid the bills, but collecting from them and becoming a loan officer went hand in hand with it. Almost having to beg them or threaten them for their rightly due monies. DON'T do it. You will be back working as a tech in a shop in a year. I know this-technicians make HORRIBLE service advisors. They are not people-people and don't know how to work around objections to buying stuff. Plus, in most of the friends and family 'shops', the tech has to bring his heart to the sale. Not good. Having said that, I'm not sure how many bills you have nor do I know what a 'youtuber' can make but I think you're down on both views, likes and subs. Got to look into how to maximize that with 'tricks of the trade'. Got to be some youtubers you can reach out to with similar channels (eric the car guys, etc.) that might have some pointers, or perhaps other off-subject channels that just know what tools to employ to get subs/views up. I wish you well.
The problem with big time youtubers is they don't reply to people. With millions of subs I can't even begin to imagine how many comments and questions they get. I know it's impossible to answer them all. Thank you for your input and your experience.
Been watching you for years. Dm'd you on ig. Let me know asap.
I responded 👍 . I want to hold onto it for a little while...... just to make sure my k series doesn't blow up 🤣
@@themechanic6117 fuuuuuuk😂make sure you save the transmission mount bracket you have to remove then in case you want to go back.
🤣🤣 I hear you , that's why I was careful to not destroy anything while removing the engine. Minus the shift linkage
@@themechanic6117 I seen that😂
