C'mon first it was fake Jordan's now it's fake sambas. I dont think piloti knows how to make their own designs so they gotta steal them from real shoe companies. 😅
He helped build it. 99% of the welding was done by Sean He did very little if you break it down. Another company built the engine and the guy who wired it all. So yea. Mike did maybe 30% of the car. Just keeping it real.

what a week for car guys lol, Cleetus taking a first pass in his new car "eagle" and a first startup on the DDE f12. I wonder how many people here follow both DDE and Cleetus's channels??? They are very different styles of car content but i love watching both of these channels myself.
Cleet is the only other channel not afraid to show the screw-ups - it's part of it. Eagle is going to go nuts in Maryland for World Cup, also can't wait to see bodied on Leroy take the W as well

I love how many people commented before they watched the video. LMAO You got this Mike. You and Tim and everyone helping have done amazing stuff. I think she just didn't wanna start without Damon being there. The F12 is waiting for him before we finally here how good that engine sounds.
So glad Mark is filming this! He was there for the whole ride and I’m glad he gets to witness it! I wish Sean could be there too because he did amazing job on the work that he did and he was just a cool addition to the channel
Definitely made progress but it happens with motors when you're building them. Thank God Mike is there, and the crew is there. Mike you all will get it right. Good luck
My theory is that this video was pushed back so they could film the second part where it runs without any hiccups and drop em back 2 back, fingers crossed guys!!! Saturdays the block party guys pull up if you’re in the area !!

Man, watching Mike, Tim and the others talk about all this sort of stuff really makes me realise i know almost nothing about engines/cars, at least not compared to them. Sure, i can do basic maintenance on my car and things like that, but these guys are just on another level.
Omg seeing at 19:00 seeing an OG like Shane instantly diagnose race car problems was heart warming. Reminded me of my dad and my uncles. Best video yet guys. I real hope Mike comes back after his time at sea. I’m probably gonna cry like a school girl loosing her boyfriend 😩💀
For only running on 1 Bank of the engine, sounds good. Looking forward to hearing all 12. Great job on the car Mike, Tim, Shawn, wire guy and programming guy. The F12 is gonna be a beast.
Mad respect and much gratitude to the team for leaving in the real world issues of first starts. It ended up being a masterclass in first start troubleshooting.
I truly enjoy these videos. It’s always cool to see the result(finished product)but process truly shows the amount of effort that goes into all these builds across TH-cam. I have a greater appreciation for engineers and technicians more than ever.
This video had me on the edge of my seat. I still have goose bumps. Such a long time in the making and finally seeing and hearing it turn over again is just super RAD!
During the first start-up on the initial idle I can hear the crisp tone already, figuring it was only 6 cylinders working, I cant wait to hear when all 12 cylinders are working. The sound will be phenomenal I believe. Only 6 cylinders are working on this video yet in my opinion already sounds better than the previous iteration of this F12.

@@lalalandtopg have you watch the previous videos including the build of the F12 on stories? They literally said that the first start-up will be completely a test run, no revving or any kind of abuse. Purely to test every component of the build from the electrical and all of the custom hardware. This kind of issues are expected along the way, it is a custom build, first of its kind. Full engine run and the screaming sound will be on the dyno stage where Damon will be there in person as well.
Incredible video one of my all-time favourite dde videos. All part of the process and amazing to bare witness too. Love your work guys. Shout out to the whole team. Much love from Australia ❤
Awesome process and love seeing this project unfold. Thanks for all the hard work, inspiration, patience, and attention to details. LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
This was huge, it’s such new ground being covered. I’m not worried at all the you won’t figure it out. You have all the best in the fields there and I can’t wait to see it finished.
Lets goooo F12, show us whats good Mike. Computer guy is a genius, we def learned some tips and tricks for sure lol. I was thinkin slow mo cam the towel firing order procedure thinga ma jig (lmao) and he busted out his camera lol. Its just F12 growin pains, whatever happens im highly confident the team can work thru it.
I'm excited and I love watching Mike's content. He's very knowledgeable, competitive, and likeable all while appearing humble and approachable. You guys have a solid team! Shout out to Tim sponging as much knowledge as he can!
Great freakin video guys. I am sure Mike and the team will get it handled. Electrical engine control issues are a massive headache for sure. This is why everyone would delete the displacement on demand crap in the LS’s when the vettes first got it for fuel efficiency (turning off cylinders for cruise mode).

I can see Mike and Tim so excited like Damon to see this start up. Haven't see the whole video yet but seems like Mike on xmas morning opening a gift! 28 mins left to watch but had to comment 😊

Thumbs up for great content.. Mike and Tim killing it, Thanks wiring guy sorry forgot name as well.. Any one involved in the F12 build (hats off) for you.

The firing order on all the 65 deg V12s, except the 456M, is 1-12-5-8-3-10-6-7-2-11-4-9.
The F12 needs to have a metal plaque saying “Built by Mike Essa”. He deserves the recognition.
Assisted by Tim and Shaun too I think
Small plate in the backwith the companies and a custom plate on the motor for Mike Tim and shawn.
lol it’s on TH-cam for the world to see
He helped build it. 99% of the welding was done by Sean He did very little if you break it down. Another company built the engine and the guy who wired it all. So yea. Mike did maybe 30% of the car. Just keeping it real.
Why a plaque for recognition when we have video evidence?
love the calculation with the paper full of notes with numbers and everything to find the order. old school.
Mike, Tim, the wiring guy (forgot his name) & everyone else that put work into this car, it’s truly commendable. Yall are beasts !

I watch them and tj hunt and several others. I wanna see them all join and do races and shenanigans.
Love Cleeter!
The part where they're shooting paper balls out the engine to find the firing order was SICK! 😂😂
Just on that bit now 😂
25:38. First start sound. That put a smile on my face regardless if it was only 6 cylinders. Awesome.
For those with any sort of mechanical knowledge, this is the most tense episode ever. You can see how nervous Mike was.
after figuring out one bank is dead, tension got reallll right there

Okay but dude figuring out the firing order was some of the sickest shit I’ve seen.
Very Proud of Mike, Tim the set up guys!

Wow !!! The thought process into this build is far beyond what I imagined. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Appreciate all this being shared with us fans.
It was amazing to see all those geniuses in the room come up with home made solutions to solve the problem. I want them on my end of the world team
I will be sad when Mike goes. Him and Tim is what makes DDE for me these last couple years.
Why is Mike leaving? My guess is he has other plans but has he said officially?
@@musclemania30 Looked like buying a boat and selling most of his stuff and sail off into his retirement. Sounds like a great plan (wish him well).
@ for sure!!!! He’s gonna be missed. I like the videos with just him and Tim the most.
He'll have his own channel
They still have another build remember the wrecked lambo they bought?
So glad Mark is filming this! He was there for the whole ride and I’m glad he gets to witness it! I wish Sean could be there too because he did amazing job on the work that he did and he was just a cool addition to the channel
I'm sure they'll have him around one day to give him a ride he was a huge part in the beginning at the old hq.
I bet Sean will be one of the first to enjoy a ride...
24:41 Dr. Evil appears in the video 😂😂.. if you know you know. lol

Good catch 😁

Just leave it on 6 cylinders, so when Damon breaks it you just switch to the other 6 and keep going 😂
I actually remember them talking about the coils being one way and the other way on the other side probably 6 months ago in a video.

It starts up yes, on half a motor
