I find it interesting the way you build cars, there is definitely something special inside of your brain the way you operate and go about things, it’s interesting to watch, especially with you as a businessman, you can tell the difference between other content creators and yourself. I believe you are one of the most hands on DO-ERS in the car game on TH-cam.
@@shane_smith_ Taylor is always the best comparison to jimmy imo. Taylor does things a bit more methodically and focuses on one project at a time but the build quality and do it yourself attitude is there.
@@ChannelPineappleSon I think Jimmy is building more show car stuff while Taylor builds more racecars. Taylor's TH-cam business is a lot smaller than Jimmy's too its him and Josue for everything
Thanks to Jim and the boys for all the yrs of entertainment it’s gotta be like 6or7 yrs now I’ve been watching and all are entertaining and informative I’m still amazed it takes Hollywood a crew of 50 or more tho shoot produce edit lighting mics to make a 30min or hour long show and Jim gets her done with a small group and most of the video work by himself is amazing and he definitely needs the philmer coming
That’s cause everything jimmy does is real as fuck & so are the people he’s surrounded with. We would still watch hours of raw footage even without the editing & b roll & fancy music. Feels like we’re just chillin in the background.
I still remember Jimmy picking up the forged SR20 S13 with the haggard boys, been watching ever since. Was literally a kid back then and now I've got 3 builds underway...
@@StanleyKubick1 thanks so much for going out of your way to correct my grammar. I don't need a TH-cam bootlicker to clean up my posts. Please leave your own thoughtful post to make the World a better place.
So you like having cars sitting around 🤔 cleet is always out there doing shit with his cars and so is Adam I like Jimmy's content but is stale basically the same thing happens with every build
Hey Jimmy all you got to do is put a lot of air in it until it pops. The tire won't explode. So don't matter how many psi you put in it for it to pop on you can always put it back to the desired pressure you want.
The guys that have done this before know that crank sensor issue can be a full week after work in the garage trying to figure out why the car isn’t starting after a swap before you finally figure out it’s pinned wrong, Jimmy just sorts it like it’s nothing in 5 mins The goat
Have you tried to put a ratchet strap over the center of the tire and it tighten it down as you inflate it in order to get it to seat properly? Off roasters usually have to similar things to get tires on beadlocks or what not. Might wanna give it a try if you haven’t already
hey jimmy i worked at discount tire and we would have tires bead not seat on the rim properly all the time we usually just air them up until they seat, try taking the core out of the valve stem and then put the air hose on and air it up it will seat it with better and stronger airflow into the tire worked for me everytime and dont be scared of going to high with the psi the tire will seat if measurements are correct :)
I'm personally not a big RJ fan for on camera content, but I gotta give your boy hella respect for running your website and shop so well! Big ups to the behind the scenes talent that makes the machine not only run well, but nice to navigate. Much love to RJ and Steve!
You are the most positive and motivating youtube channel out there. You always get me so hyped up to work on my own stuff. I could watch you build cars all day, every day.
I know it's not a competition, but I don't know if you watch Mat Armstrong. I think that man has everyone beat on positivity and motivation.. Such a nice hardworking guy that gets a lot of shit done in every video.
You know it's a dope video when you immediately go outside and start tinkering with your car lol Jimmy & Gang bringth the HEAT lately. This is gonna be the year of Jim. I can feel it
I've been watching since the day Jimmy moved into his first shop across the aisle from haggard garage. It's cool to see him flourish and turn into the jdm nerd every 90s car kid wished they were. It's nice to see the e36 finally get the love it deserves. Keep killing it.
Even without the exhaust on the K sounds sooo mean. can't wait to really hear those itbs on the first drive. Car is coming together so damn well. That and the E36 too. Cant wait to see them sitting next to eachother all finished up. Keep up the great work Jimmy and Gang
Dude!! I almost got those same exact wheels for my drift e36 months ago 😳 I think I'll have to get those next when I buy more spares. It looks so good!
We had h22 swapped eg6 and it could only go straight. So I think I agree with spoon that the h22 belongs in the bottom of the ocean. Although it had a bunch of torque.
Thank you guys for always making great content for us. Jimmy, maybe you could go for Fitmentab V3 Overfender to get the tires and the wide angle kit fitted. It’s their „drift spec kit“ and was done especially for drift cars with wide angle kits🤙🏼
If you tighten a ratchet strap around the center of the tire and then hit the sidewall of the tire with a plastic/rubber mallet while airing it up it should seat perfectly. But to loosen the ratchet strap you have to deflate the tire
I habe that problem a lot with tires not seating at 140psi. I use one of those propane torch weedeater things to heat the tire and as it gets hot it softens up and pops on! Try it next time.
I've had to hit over 100psi to seat some beads when I worked at tire shops, just keep going till it gets a lil to close for comfort to the tires limit.
I had to pause and stop eating to write this. Spoon, we can throw hands with you talking about the H22. I was fine with J series comment but the H22 got me.
I’m not sure if it’s a “trade secret” but I think if YOU specifically made a full format purpose made video on how to tune a vehicle you would get a shit load of views. You have a way of explaining things that makes one feel educated and not talked down to. Keep this shit up jimmy.
That H22 smack talk. I felt that.
kinda hurt bc i love h22
B18c1 in my hatch
But he’s right about j series
@@bigtravis2004 what , why , J series motors are good
Idk much about Hondas, but the j series I’ve always thought was cool.
E36 and 86 are turning out so good
2 of the 6 es
But 86 definitely should have gotten the konigs

Bro I sub'd during the Nissonda build I just thought that kind of shit was so awesome him and Bhall converting a em2 to rwd
Spoons vision for the E36 build is fire as always. He's a absolute W for the channel. Loving the content lately. 🔥

What about Evan shanks

And ep3s are sick.
These builds move so quickly, I love it

Adding Spoon to the shop was clutch! Homie knows a thing or two about some stuff.
Jimmy in full boosted boiz spec with the hot wires and the pump in a bucket 😅😂
I love that Spoon has no patience, best thing ever.
We have to put the tires in a blast cage and fill them upwards of a 100 psi to get them to seat on some wheels. It’s insane!
I'm with spoon on the ep3 but not on the h22!!!!! They got potential!!!! As long as it's a non sh variant.
What’s wrong with the ep3
Was just about to comment this exact response lol
@@liamjahdai Id like to know too
I'm glad Spoon has some more logical views on fitment 😂
Sounds gnarly rn. Can’t wait for the rest of it to come together. Stay killing it boys.
Have you tried to put a ratchet strap over the center of the tire and it tighten it down as you inflate it in order to get it to seat properly? Off roasters usually have to similar things to get tires on beadlocks or what not. Might wanna give it a try if you haven’t already
Off roaders**** smh don’t talk to text kids 😂
K sounds unreal 😍 And those wheels are beautiful. Can't wait to see the drift week coverage!

@@shona5512 I have not, but I will give it a shot! Thanks for the suggestion.
I love the crazy track car look.. no bumpers, sick wheels, just a complete package
seeing spoon and jimmy smile ear to ear @10:30 made my day
You know it's a dope video when you immediately go outside and start tinkering with your car lol Jimmy & Gang bringth the HEAT lately. This is gonna be the year of Jim. I can feel it

Pull the core when airing up tires so you can safely max the pressure and fully set the tire and remove the air quickly after setting it
The E36 has deserved this since it got the power put into it.
Spoon almost always says what I'm thinking when you guys are looking at stuff.
Bro the shop vibes yall got is lit. All the homies working on sick ass cars
First of all, this is the craziest the channel has been in a long time and I LOVE IT. Second, THAT IS THE MEANEST SOUNDING K SERIES EVER.
Hands down best car channel and crew, nothing beats your videos keep it up Jim!
I absolutely lost it while Jim was explaining the starting of the AE86.
Brroooo the H22 is absolutely legendary!
Kyle from boosted boiz is like come test me in my h22 swapped hatch!!
Even without the exhaust on the K sounds sooo mean. can't wait to really hear those itbs on the first drive. Car is coming together so damn well. That and the E36 too. Cant wait to see them sitting next to eachother all finished up. Keep up the great work Jimmy and Gang
These last few builds have been really good. Nice work by everyone involved.
The e36 came out so good🔥
Konigs are so slept on. I have set of hypergrams on my evo and love them. They're light and priced well. super happy with mine
I don’t care for Hondas, but the ITB’s make that k series sound freaking amazing. I’m pumped to hear that after you do you thing with it!!
Can't wait to hear the K20/24 ITB screaming at 9000 rpm on the Dyno!!!! 😱 Also the new E36 wheels look great 👍
K24 bottom end really shouldn’t do 9k if you want it to last.
Dude!! I almost got those same exact wheels for my drift e36 months ago 😳 I think I'll have to get those next when I buy more spares. It looks so good!
This man deserves way more subs. I love watching these Videos. Gives me motivation to try it for myself.
WOW!! That motor with the ITB sounds awesome!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
2 3in vibrant quiets or huge magaflow in the middle and a greddy trust cannon. This thing will sound so good.
That sounds sick!! also its awesome watching stevie learn
The K series sounds Insane! and I can't wait to see the windows and bumpers put back on the e36
When I worked at Discount tire, we had a cage to air up wheels like this. 125psi should do the trick.
86 sounds so badass. Can't wait to see it tuned and running good
RJ "That's an inch? Damn..."
too funny
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE COUNTERGRAMS BIG FAN AND ITS GOOD FOR PEOPLE TO SEE ITS OKAY TO GET NON JDM WHEELS
don’t throw the e36 harness out. Give it to the builder guy for its connectors
Just wait to hear what sounds like drifting. These little cars look and sound so fun to drive!
Ae86 sounds sick! 💥 The e36 looking better and better!🔥
spoon being a voice of reason for the e36!
Spoon hittin Jimmy with the “I been around a lot of itbs” 🤣
We had h22 swapped eg6 and it could only go straight. So I think I agree with spoon that the h22 belongs in the bottom of the ocean. Although it had a bunch of torque.
3:19 Spoon spitting facts
Rj “ that’s an inch? Damn.” 😂😂😂 rofl. Killing it boys!
Can’t wait to hear it with a full exhaust.
Spoon is the realest out here.
Here I am building a turbo h22 cl1 accord for the last 4 years, cheers spoon🥲
I'm a j series man myself. 05 TL. Best V6 I'VE ever owned lol
Yes dude PLEASE make the exhaust as quiet as possible so we can hear the pure bark from those ITB!
Love the dynamic since Spoon join the O team ❤️
Can't wait to see the AK-86 doing RINGS LADS!!!!!
My favorite time of the dayyyyy
AE86 Looks mad! Gallon bucket for a test gas tank is creative 👍
ITBs were the move for sure!
Thank you guys for always making great content for us.
Jimmy, maybe you could go for Fitmentab V3 Overfender to get the tires and the wide angle kit fitted. It’s their „drift spec kit“ and was done especially for drift cars with wide angle kits🤙🏼

Im dyslexic, for 20 YEARS ive been reading Konig as KOING hahahahahah that makes so much more sense
you've even had Konig wheels in the past I believe too, never clicked
It sounds sick!!! You just need a really quiet exhaust and just hear all the itb sounds!!!
You're making me love my red car again after having it wrapped the last 5 years 😪
Countergrams are great, they make your car stand out. I'm the only one who has them on my FA5 in my town and people definitely notice the wheels.👍
The Konig wheels are sick!!
I have a set of these on my 9th gen Si! These wheeels are fire!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I agree with spoon back of the e36 need to go up
I love spoon, man’s a legend
I habe that problem a lot with tires not seating at 140psi. I use one of those propane torch weedeater things to heat the tire and as it gets hot it softens up and pops on! Try it next time.
I've had to hit over 100psi to seat some beads when I worked at tire shops, just keep going till it gets a lil to close for comfort to the tires limit.
Yo try putting a Tie strap around the center of the tire while you pump it up and it helps push the edge of the tire to the lip of the rim
Damn I am so stoked for all the 6s
The K86 is so dope.
Jimmy you are for real killing it. Keep doing you man!
I had to pause and stop eating to write this. Spoon, we can throw hands with you talking about the H22. I was fine with J series comment but the H22 got me.
Jimmy straight teaching everyone how to Hotwire cars
wowza big call on the h22 and ep3
Got me so anxious to hear my itbs on my B16B!!
I agree with spoon. Raise the rear 1/4"
Best results with the SLR kit's you want to be shooting for 0 offset or more. Congrats on getting the 86 running BTW.
AK86 finna Be rooooowwwddyyy boyy. Hell yeah. Keep killin' it Oak's garage. So sick.
New favorite ae86 that K motor barkin god damn ITB’s FOR LIFE
Holy shit those ITB's sound sick! 🤯 love the sound of induction 👌👌
looking good. some custom BMW center caps would look dope AF
Def need to camera down the itb during a dyno pull like PFI did
The bmw looks so sick on those wheels/tires. Dang man. Spoon did such an amazing job with the paint.
I’m not sure if it’s a “trade secret” but I think if YOU specifically made a full format purpose made video on how to tune a vehicle you would get a shit load of views. You have a way of explaining things that makes one feel educated and not talked down to. Keep this shit up jimmy.
The dot on the tire is supposed to go with the valve stem.
