I was giving CPR to a nearly dead patient, but dropped that to watch the video. The patient suddenly regained consciousness and started watching the video too.
I’d like to say you guys make this all look easy, but you really don’t. The amount of effort, hard work, and sheer talent that has gone into this build is very apparent, and very amazing. Looking forward to the finished product 👍🏻
Of course you can. It will just take a long time. I’m in the middle of a similar process of restoring a beat to shit FD RX-7 with a 3-rotor setup. The pain in the ass part I’m stuck at, is removing the front radiator support to make room for a better cooling system, but still be able to mount the OEM number without actually extending the from end. There isn’t an off-the-shelf setup I like so I’m ended up buying a totaled FD so I can hack up the front end metal to make my cuts and test fit everything before committing it to the actual car. I’m going V-mount setup in this case. But the mounting areas aren’t to my liking, considering I want to keep a/c, and all relays in the same position, and need to make some room for mounting Twin oil coolers and such. It’s a challenge. I’ve been working at this for about a year so far. Hopefully once I get everything fitted and finalized, I can work on making sure the entire engine bay is where I want it and can get the 3-rotor fired up and playing nice with everything by Spring of next year, so that I can be able to at least drive it to work out any bugs with the drivetrain before ripping it all out for body work. Mind you, I’m doing this all by myself in my spare time. With occasional help from friends when I need an extra set of hands. I practically have no social life and won’t have one until I finish this build. But I do take breaks from it when I need wait for parts to be delivered.
@@rotor13 Kudos man! Kudos! Keep the VIN plate from the totaled one. One day you'll be able to buy complete after market shells as box kits, like you can with old Mustangs etc. When that time comes a clean VIN is going to be worth good money.
It's very nice to find a channel that is not some random half-baked garage build. I am a mixed discipline engineer -mechanical and electrical- and I love what I see here. Every detail is carefully considered. Awesome.
He runs a factory backed team, He gets most of this stuff for free plus he has a budget from Toyota and AEM I believe. If I were to put a number on how much of his budget he has spent (not including tools he has in his shop) I would put it at about 80-100k out of pocket. However If we factored in MSRP into the build assuming he paid for everything, It would be probably around the $350-500k mark.
Man, I want way more vids from you. No bullshit. No fluff. Just straight up information. Love it. I don't want to see your breakfast, workout routine, or none of that crap all these car channels are recording. I wanna see cars being built. Also, it is impressive seeing how effortlessly you do this stuff. Shows how much you know. I'm sure you've forgotten more than most of us will ever learn.
This guy is a proper car builder, anything he does is just top notch. Not just some builder who build things just to make it work. This guy always put thought and process how he wants things are. Nice...
So nice to get a video 9:15 instead of the 10:01 I usually see. Love how raw and brutal this build is. Real craftsmanship by an extremely talented group of people. Love from Norway.
This is the most interesting build series I have followed in a long time. Even though I can only dream of ever having the money for a build like this, its still super interesting how you methodically re-assemble the bare chassis. Can't wait for the next few videos!
Papadakis with their beyond mind blown Supra, Philipp Kaess with the most amazing Audi build and Driftworks with his legend E46 all happening at the same time... What a time to be alive. Seriously!
These guys are seriously impressive. Their build videos are serious, to the point, and informative. They got everybody so far into that mindset, not many noticed that the only noise from the workshop that was put in was the farting gear oil bottle. Nice one!
@@georgegeorge2526 Maybe, but maybe not. This man owns the most successful formula drift team in the U.S. and holds a number of records in the sport. He's not likely to skimp on parts, but he's been doing this for 20 years. A lot of places he goes likely gives him discounted rates simply for a shoutout. Advertising revenue is a hell of a thing.
You have to think of these builds as Total Cost per Season of Racing. For example a WRC car costs 750K, but the total team budget for a year of racing could be 15M. Same here, if the initial vehicle is sponsored, the car may only cost ~50K in parts to create, but the total team budget for the season is ~1M.
I think currently this is probably the best youtube build channel. He explained everything clearly and very easy to understand. The quality of the build is TOP NOTCH and I love the way he explained it as if this was easy. It's so enjoyable to watch. Each step of the process was meticulously planned and so properly built. Can't wait for the next episode!
Imagine this guy building ANY other car....wow....the attention to detail is superb. Definitely a high dollar build that 99.9% of us couldn’t ever attempt to do.
Hands down this is the most well crafted and functional new chassis supra on the planet. Everything else after this is going to be stretching and aspiring to meet the standards you all have created. Keep it up, this is why everyone has their eyes on Papadakis👏👏👏
Again I repeat : Papadakis & crew are AMAZING Craftsman, a class act thru & thru, the design, the planning, the work, the quality, the execution..... simply never out done, often imitated, never duplicated, no other individual, team, company will surpass the bar Papadakis has set.... Thank you for awesome videos
Good grief these PapadakisRacing videos are extraordinarily awesome watching. I could listen to this guy describe his own bowel movements, and it would still be informative and compelling. The quality of the work on this car is amazing. Truly amazing. I hope the drivers never, ever crash it.
This has been one of the coolest behind-the-scene or documentary I have watched. Very insightful. Stephan is not shy about explaining those little cool things that they do. Awesome! keep it up, you might end up on prime time TV.
8:34 I am not okay with the orientation of your layers on this print! I guess this part will be loaded top to bottom, and front to rear. This layer-orientation is bad for both of these.
If you print it in ABS plastic, suspend it in a container filled with acetone without submerging it, and boil the acetone, then the vapors will settle onto the part and reseal the surface. This fuses all of the layers together and makes the part several times stronger. I do with all of my ABS parts. It makes them damn near indestructible. Lmao I hope he reads this, it's a very useful technique.
@@y__h Mostly the surface, however that is where the splitting of the part usually starts. You do get some minor penetration into the center of the part, but not much.
Keep in mind that mounts like that must break easily, otherwise there will be more damage to headlight. I dont know how strong it is in current form, but if it can withstand track and engine vibration it is strong enough. Anyway useful info in this thread
This series is so awesome. The quality of work and customization is so good!!! Plus the video and audio quality is amazing. The lack of music is very much appreciated.
@papadakis racing We need more content from you to keep our minds off of the stress. I'm a teacher who was asked to completely change the way I do things and am now working 16 hour days. At the end of it, I just want some relief with my love of Toyota, Supra, JDM, Drifting, and speed. I learn so much from you, I even use your example in my teaching practice. I have started an Auto Skills class at my high school because they got rid of these years ago. I often show your videos to my students. Thanks for all you do.
Man the amount of brain power, knowledge, and resources to build a car that well that fast is incredible. Ive build a couple cars from complete to bare and to finished racecars and im more than impressed guys!
This is the most amazing build I’ve ever seen,and on a car that only come off the production line last year,the information you give through out the build is 2nd to none
I speak for everyone I suppose when I congratulate you guys for the awesome quality build. It is super satisfying to see pro's work. Thanks for letting us watch this costfree.
The level of quality in this build is amazing. This man has taken customization to a whole new level. If i ever win the powerball lottery i am going to have this man build my dream car for drag strip/ daily driving. I also love how he manages to explain even the most complex processes effectively and efficiently. Mr P you are a god among men. Please keep up the amazing content. P.S. I love you no homo.... Well maybe a little 😆
100s of thousands of dollars in that build... and a fan from a 90's Lincoln 🤣 that's what I love about Steph, still down to earth and a car guy through and through...
Seriously, for someone like me, that inevitably ends up in-depth in everything I get into, I'm marveled by the details and the craftsmanship, how you guys go above and beyond to make it perfect pitched, I'm in awe with this series, it's eff great! hahahaha...
Without any doubt the channel I anticipate videos from more than any other channel. It is just mesmerizing to watch all those technical details - how lines are made, how it is painted, intercooler setup all this stuff!
Jesus Christ this build is legit! Who in the world is funding this? How much would it cost me if I showed up with a 2020 Supra? Cleanest build I’ve ever seen!
I remember when you were first noticed in turbo magazines, decades ago, drag racing. Man, how much you accomplished over the years is breathtaking. Excellent job sir!! Just wonderful. Hope you have a open house soon at your shop. I would be honored to take a tour when you decide to allow it. All these years I never knew you had a shop in the city of Carson!! I live not too far from the Carson mall. Lol
Hope you enjoy our latest video. We have a few more planned so stay tuned.
Thank you!
Can't wait for the final form
PapadakisRacing mindblown by the love that u guys put in those cars. Love it! And love the supra!
way to short tho. could have been longer. but content is great, realy.
Are you Greek?
This car is spotless. Nice work.
Yes i will stop what im doing to watch this immediatly
I was giving CPR to a nearly dead patient, but dropped that to watch the video. The patient suddenly regained consciousness and started watching the video too.
Quarantine life
I'm having beers with my friends right now, risking everything by sitting on the toilet for 10mins
True shit , I see “papadakis”, im liking that shit before it even starts. This man puts quality into his videos
Lol I taught I was the only one that dropped everything to watch this lol.
I love how the only other sound in the build is the empty gear oil bottle lol.
Mustafa H.Rashid I’d say more or a child/adult adaptable joke
They ruined a perfectly good car.. for a clown ride..
This build is Top QUALITY
the cage could be way safer
@I Am Sekou I didn´t said that I can build it better idiot. Idk but all fd cars have such unsafe cages.
@@worlow1841 true, but if they crash, it still protects the drivers top notch

This build is so mature and professional...i love it
*expensive
I really enjoy the no bullshit editing. No annoying stock music, no unnecessary things, no begging for subs or likes...
Just perfect 👍
The quality of this build makes me want to cry because I'll never be able to attain this level of perfection and cleanliness

Gary - Quality work for sure. And soon some lucky driver gets to thrash the heck out of it.
Whenever i have the money, i’ll send one of my cars to you guys. The build quality is amazing👌

Same, but I won't give you strict deadlines so everything is purrrfeccct
you gotta have deep pockets.

With how efficient he explains everything, I couldn’t care less if he decided to throw in another minute of a black screen to hit that 10 min mark.
My favourite channel on here by far... I tell all my petrol head/mechanical engineering mates about this channel. Brilliant 💯👍.
it would be crime not to tell :D this is way too cool
This and Bad Obsession Motorsport are 2 of the best car channels that I watch.
my teacher actually shared one of his videos awhile back
ive gotta say, one of the most professional, clean, passionate, hardworking and talented tuners out there. props k.Papadakis

It will be the bulletproof car which won’t crack until next decades. True masterpiece!
I'm curious about the effect powder coating has on the stiffness of the chassis.. since at 400 degrees you are essentially annealing the entire car 🤔
400 degrees isn't hot enough to have an impact on steel especially when it only lasts for 45 minutes
