Welcome to the club, now Rory needs to learn how to drift cuz the damage was already done :))
Can't wait to send it around the Ring🔥
This needs to happen! Would be the best collab ever!
Looking forward to seeing that! TOP NOTCH!!
Ooooohhh this is on misha
@@TerrysCruisethey already said Misha is gonna drive their cars on the Ring in a previous video
Yes that’ll be epic
You have found a great balance in this channel, just enough mechanical stuff, just enough arsing about, and lots of personality. The editing is tight and it never gets boring.
agreed. if top gear had ever gone technical, this is how it would have felt. lots of shenanigans, lots of building, and lots of tire smoke. top shelf
Indeed! Keep it going lads!!
100% agree. Captured some lightning in a bottle here. Keep going!
So true
Yes and some of us like and have motorbikes 😍
I changed the video quality to 144p and that paint job Rory did finally looked half decent
😂
i mean it protects the rust atleast
@@Marco-ip5cw true
That front anti-roll bar might have well been made of kit kat foil
How on Earth does Alex get through these videos without being punched repeatedly?
I mean, we don't know that he isn't
Editing.
I don't get the hate against the after fire tune, it's obnoxious people who do it all the time as loud as they can.
Not gonna lie, your videos have really got me thinking about an R53! That supercharger whine is addictive
I had one for 6 months with a few mods. They're great fun especially for the money - if you're thinking about one, I would definitely recommend it. Just be cautious of all the common problems (it leaks, A LOT)
hahaha happend to me
i was looking for miatas but in spain the second hand ones are stupidly expensive
so now i'm looking for an r53 restyled and with lsd that are cheaper and faster
yes get one they're awesome , they're fast , handle like go karts , have that addicting supercharger whine and they look so smart and awesome
Get one thats had a replacement clutch - its an engine out job. And one thats had a replacement engine 😂
I've had an MX-5 and a JCW R53 -- the R53 is seriously fun! I got rid of it when I started getting a few too many miles on it though, they can be a bit of a maintenance nightmare unfortunately. The R53 was more fun than my MX-5, but the MX-5 cost me nothing to maintain even after years of track days (they don't rust in Australia though!).
Rory's camerawork is getting better and better, there were some really nice shots in this one !
Modifying your car in Germany is ridiculously strictly regulated. At least if you're German. If the exhaust is slightly to loud for example, they shall rain eternal doom upon you. And if police doesn't do it, the TÜV (german MOT equivalent) is gonna rip your wallet and your life apart. Also police here love to go to car meets and randomly pick out people and have their car towed and taken apart to check if they can find something illegal, just to piss them off. And then help themselves to a lot of your money. EVEN if there is nothing wrong with it. Seen this happen too many times. Mostlikely a lot of german rozzers are very jealous. Also the regulations are getting stricter every year. So they basically hate anyone whose car isn't obviously stock.
They hate everyone....... full stop. Especially anyone who dares to try and have fun. Fun is a right wing extremist concept and must be banished asap
The Germans have always loved getting peoples paperwork in order...
Glad to see Maisie in good health
Was there a concern?
@@burnzy3210 no
@@burnzy3210 Just haven't seen her on a vid for a while
In Germany, if you have parts on your car that are not on the paperwork, or you do not have the official paperwork with you that says those parts can be fitted to your car, then they can impound it, remove the sticker from your rear number plate that signifies that it has a current MOT and you will have to collect it with a trailer. Then you will have to put it right and then re MOT your car. However, they have no jurisdiction to impound a car from another country, as each country has different rules to Germany and no ordinary policeman is going to be aware of what those rules are. However, they could impound it if there is something with the car, mod or fault, that makes the car dangerous to drive on the road.
Danke, German chap 👍
I think the loud exhaust with pops and bangs could definitely be a problem.
@heygek2769 I doubt it, as number of high performance cars over here sound like that fresh from the factory. If you have British plates on your car, the police generally leave you alone. Provided you aren't taking the piss of course.
@@eagle_and_the_dragon British chap, but living in Germany.
@@calibrazxr750 ah, then cheers to you boyo.
Sorry but taylor in that hard hat all I can hear in my head is YMCA 😂 everyone loves taylor.
You guys are just an amazing bunch, keep up the fun work!
Big Taylor fan btw, he seems to know what he's doing and hilarious lad 🤣
I got a Cobra backbox and a BBR manifold on my MK3 MX5, can confirm, sounds epic. No crappy pops and bangs map though 🙈I've owned all three of these cars and have been enjoying these vids a lot 😎
This channel just gets better and better. Thanks Alex, Taylor and Rory for the hours of entertainment you provide. Proper decent videos. You can tell you all genuinely love doing what you do. Looking forward to the nurburgring video!
makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up watching the car body work on this channel as someone who is a qualified car body repairer 😂 gotta love it tho
I have Autism and I absolutely love all all things to do with cars and automotive. Your videos are always amazing and entertaining to watch. Keep up the good work 😊
I've got a soft spot for the MK3, mainly 'cos i'm fairly certain it's the only MX5 i'd be able to fit in.
Also, if Alex wants to swindle me an exhaust for an E92 325i, i'd be most grateful.
I own a NB, and I fit perfectly! I am 1,96 slim, so you don't know until you test one!
@@voodoossj Ahh, maybe i'll have to reconsider one of the early ones as a future car to own! I'm 6ft2-ish and read a lot about people trimming the foam from the seats so their heads didn't hit the roof with the top down.
@@voodoossj How? im 1,86 and when i was trying to buy an NB a few years ago, i tested a stock NB1 with hard top. All i could see from my POV inside was the roof, the hood/bonnet, and in the middle, a bit of the road. I had to lean forward a bit to properly see the road, which was quite uncomfortable. I ended up buying a Civic EG5 because of that.
@@snoozie7468 It's the build I think! I have long legs and shorter torso! That's why test driving is mandatory!
Is this VILLAGE PEOPLE AUTO
:)))) You are gonna die with those BluePrint brakes on the track. Never had such junks in my life. In about 10 min of Touge i ran out of brakes completely. My father's Blue print clutch desintegrated in 6k km. My BluePrint wiper blades were cracked in few months. Avoid that company no matter what !!!
It's not an oil leak, its a constant oil change, always got clean oil :)
Tell that to his Driveway 😢
Taylors Herbert impression was spot on. Totally unexpected almost died laughing 3:23
On Taylors comment, I am watching in 4k, and it does in fact look shit.
That being said still prefer the Z4.
Cheers 🍺
i no you wont reply to this , but next month at the british car museum show can i bring my dog along cant see anything on there site about dogs , japfest allowed him in lol
Piper wow they still going I remember them from back in the day
Rory's exhaust was nice n sophisticated.
Alex's was just full on ADHD spec lmao
The z4 new exhaust sounds rubbish. I would be well upset if I bought that system and it sounded like that.
Schumacher was and always will be the best F1 driver. Quite ironic the BMW Mini blew up not in France, not in Belgium but in Germany of all countries.
Watching that mangled boot lid made me cringe inside, and those disgustingly beautiful orange piss wheels look perfectly out of place on a miata. Watching your channel is always a guilty pleasure, a lot of cringe and wholesomeness. Keep it up!
Please make Taylor wear that yellow hat for every single video from now on. Thank you.
Taylor saying mine was the best the last trip then proceeding to require a new engine after doing 140mph for about 5 minutes before getting to the track 😅😂
The 651 sport 100tw are really good! On the rain too. The ns2r are really bad...
I like that Rory asks really good sensible questions
Really love that mx5, I actually want one now. Great series guys, looking forward to seeing the cars in action 👌🏻❤️
You guys are awesome!! I laughed so much. I love your camaraderie. Keep up the great work guys. All the best.
okay, i honesty thought alex's mx5's plates meant something like libido sydney. lmao
Rory, I feel your pain. Having to work alongside such a tool must be hard work.
❤❤❤ love it!! The guy who made that piper exhaust I bet he's such a cool mx5 guy 😂
Budget tyres!!! PMSL How much do you save by skidding into a tree in the wet. Bald premium tyres are better than new budgets. I know you are on a budget...but tyres and oil personally I would not get the cheap ones.
100%. Landsails. Think about the name for a second. Sails on land. Or goes anywhere they god damn please.
Welcome aboard as we go titanic hunting in the Sinksquishie!
Got a supercharged mx5 mk3 and with suspension upgrades its a completely different animal
First time watching this channel and some very funny content!
Taylor with the yellow workmans hat on...like a real life LEGO man!
Lol poor Rory and happy birthday. However the trio should do their best to increase the value of the vehicles they get not damage it or treat it poorly. At least that's what I like to see.., a bit of love and care for these great vehicles.
I sware the tyre they keep showing on Alex's car is the wrong rotation
You can change the front ARB on a Mk3.5 Mx-5 without cutting it! I know, I've done it on my driveway, no lift. Also, that Mx-5 now needs a tune due to the new exhaust, otherwise there won't be any power gains
Definitely needs a remap, the stock headers are crazy restrictive, some extra power to be unlocked there
another shit day at work, this time followed by the perfect content needed to aid it a bit!
Pops and bags and loud exhausts are my most hated thing when it comes to cars! It’s just stupid.
You can go just as fast without annoying everyone within a hundred mile radius 😂.
I hope you get you bike problems solved and you have a better bike track day next time. I am the tramp with the long beard who parked next to you at Snet today
rory, that hazing after polishing might be because you didnt clean off the polishing compound properly after ur done. if you leave it sitting with any compound on it hazes up
I'd love to be a presenter on this show because it hardly looks like work haha. 😂 I'm sure it's a lot of work behind the scenes though. But it looks like you're just working on cars with your mates and having a laugh, which sounds like so much fun you'd hardly call it work.
Rory's birthday present reaction was equal parts joy and shame.
Is there a reason Taylor looks like Bob the Builder?
There is no way Taylor will not "borrow" a set of tyres for the ring
If you loosen the alternator and pull it against the tensioner you have enough room to pull the header without lifting the engine.
I thought Rory was about 23 🤣
7:45 HE DID NOT FOLLOW THE CHRISFIX WAY OF DOING IT
23:42 shut him down with RACECAR
More dog content pls
Errrr..... Mr. AutoAlex; you failed to mention the best AND cheapest performance modification anyone could apply to ANY car....
Us, in the know, like to call it 'the go-faster stripe'........
Honestly I think I'd still take the mini out of the 3. Those supercharged cooper s have a place in my heart especially in that color
I thought they were dog treats 😂😂
Love seeing more people using the nc as a base. Love car with a few mandatory mods. Props on the bcs!! Would love a set of those
Have you guys removed the 2 little bits of foam in the airbox? If you haven't, do it. I had a "57" 3.0 Z4 Roadster, induction noise will increase by at least 50%! A little freebie to get more NOISE!
My guess is that Micha scrapes away that bad paint work for no charge, a little bit at a time, 5 times a lap on the compression bumps of "The Ring" .
Not just the 1 car either, I'm guessing all of you will bottom out on the bump stops, he'll drive em equally hard but smoooooth. Hope for your sake the seats have some padding left guys, most of the English guests he has make the same mistakes, TOO HARD n TOO LOW. It should be fun watching your faces while you're there
13:27 whyd the rear wheel spin that freely when he revved the engine? Is that normal? Or was it not in gear?
Makes me want to live in Scotland…wait…no, MOT, insurance, petrol prices…no Giant Explorers…but at least I thought about it!
1500 pound with 3-5k in parts worth maybe 2k for sale, maybe 3k if you get someone too innocent to barter. My rule is for every custom part added that doesn't have a credible builder's invoice included for the work (that I can call and ask about if crucial) then that's possibly a reduction in what I'm willing to pay or at the most stock price. These I'd be fine with (easy to inspect/check, genuine parts, people I could question and give answers, etc.), but when I see pictures of an engine on a stand at one point, I start to tell them good luck finding a buyer that'll pay what they want. If it's an RX-8 I might take a second look, I flipped those in high school back in 09/10 doing engine rebuilds/swaps over the weekend start to finish and know my way around the stupidly simple renesis engine and solid chassis that is a rx-8. I have one original engine at 240k miles now, no problems with basic upkeep. I treat it like a 2 stroke with premix after yanking the electronic metering pump out, that didn't feed enough oil to begin with (to keep within standards), and it runs fine albeit a little rough on fuel economy as they all are.
Are the tires for the BMW bullocks, bollocks? I think that means cool? British slang is so different compared to USA, even worse when you compare to Texas! We are horrible LOL!
The small alteration on the booooooot gives the BMW better downforce. . . . . .. HONEST!!
Having watched the previous video I do think the MX3's registration plate should be changed to: ID10TNY
I finally realized why i'm always getting hungry watching videos from Alex.
It's because the logo in the beginning reminds me of the early 00s Pizza Hut with the colors and font.
Great now i'll have to go get some Pizza.
Overall great content though, great work guys just the sponsor bits are a bit much/cringe.
Man, 3k on mods is a cool idea, but man, these cars aren't worth it, maybe except for BMW. It's like putting a supercharger on a bicycle.
Errr...hold on....I just watched a clip of you being all frownyface cause you had to sell Phil. That was a 3 year old clip and Phil's still there...what the hell happened??!!
If the MX5 is from the Ford era, change the engine to the newer Skyactive. Thats the most important upgrade. If consumers and insurance companies do not report the issues, how can car vertical figure the accuracy. Have used carfax and got false and completely inaccurate info.
All very well as long as Taylor is a big boy I don't mind him charging the usual fortune my E38 costs every couple of months. I'm BB only though
Pops and bangs - huge big nope from me.
All it takes is one pop and a horse could spook and land through your windscreen. Happened to Coldcroft Shires recently, miraculously horse and occupants of car were OK but car the horse landed is a write off.
Alex you should spend £3000 on your mx5 fixing the two massive mistakes on your bonnet! Sorry had too😊
Got to rate Taylor on his wealth of knowledge on mechanical side of things, this man literally knows everything about cars and rust buckets 🪣 big up Taylor 🙌
Sorry Alex but I have to let you know I've been watching your vids for that long, it now kinda feels like watching old family vids featuring a lovable dodgy uncle😂
Unfortunately, even with everything youve done to Rorys car, it is still a Z4..............
Alex, you claim Taylor has a hair cut every single week... I'm calling you on this, if this is true, why is Taylor's neck hair so offensive?
Can I send you an Audi to have 3k of mods fitted as I'm going the ring next year too and it's, well, just not at all ready 😩😅 could be the start of a new fixing a subscribers car 😂
Could you confirm the colour specs and company you got those Cooper S wheels refurbed at please? They look exactly what I’m looking for
Cool content! But why are subtitles not available anymore?
What are the "Jap Car Picks" on the white board? Candidates for projects, just favorites ...?
It is now a LEGAL REQUIREMENT that Maisie the Dog be in EVERY future video.
Powerflow quoted me £800 for a custom cat back on my mk1 mx5 1.6, is that a lot or is that about the right price.
Don't worry Taylor. You can 'borrow' my 350Z. Then you'd have spent nothing at all
The pops and bangs from the mx5 sound like the start of Crazy Frog from back in the day 😅🤣
Stop whinging
Everyone knows you have to bend the rules in racing.
Then pay the fine or take the penalty.
F1 Cough😂
That aerosol job looked shit in 480p on my phone, no need for a close up or 4K. It makes me feel good about my own aerosol work and that's saying something.
AutoAlex can you please offer a tshirt to your fans quoting Taylor's timeless comment "These are serviceable items". 😅
Your videos only make me realize I don't have any friends to muck about with on cars!! Love the content blokes, keep it up.
2 days later no subtitles
The sponsored segments are reminding me of the Wayne's World scene about sponsors...
I really liked all the swearing, made it feel like I was working with you screwing things up myself
Bc coilovers are already 1600 I
Think , no way within budget
This is the absolute best car show on YT. Every time I want to get rid of my car, you post another great episode and I get all excited and decide my old R55 is a keeper. Thanks.
I honestly think you should of added Taylor wages for fixing all the cars into his budget seeing how Rory’s budget was blown
