![My Lexus had a MAJOR HeadGasket Failure Not Once but TWICE! [Long Term Update CT200h]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rpCycYygyjI/mqdefault.jpg)
Love how you were not shy about naming the dealership. That’s the way...throw them right under that bus where they deserve to be! 😂
Well from a brand such as lexus, that paint job was a pretty dick move
I agree!
That dealership has quite a few interesting stories if you google them
He should have contact Lexus. They would have made that dealership correct their mistake
@@isaac297 Wheres the fun in that though
“Oh so it doesn’t serve a function”
Fatality.
She did him dirty but he came back strong with the shade
“Oh so it doesn’t serve a function”
Death stare
Called out by the misses, lol.
Lmao coulda said it applies downforce to the front wheels for more grip since it’s fwd
She basically called him a ricer Lmfaooo they're so wholesome 😂
You could say that bumper looks...unAPEELING.
Yoh that's genius 😂😂
BA DUM TSSS
Take my upvote and get outta here
Ah christ another one who makes puns
I'd be careful calling/titling things "Pimp my ride" we all saw B is for Build get his video pulled because of those copyright owners. Just my two cents.
I do like these quick upgrades series of videos. Not saying I don’t love the longer series, but this is a nice snack between meals.
Well put!
These are great!
@Robert Bandy When you stick your head in a sandbox.
@Robert Bandy build is a broad term. Technically this qualifies. Copied from my Google search "car build definition"
"A vehicle build is the vehicles entire progression and includes engine modification, internal modification or restoration, aesthetic modification or restoration, and additional work that is done to a vehicle to reach a final "vision." Being built, is motor modification."
@Robert Bandy it's not a check list bud. You can build a car without touching the engine. It's changing anything on the car to REACH THE FINAL VISION. Which is different for everyone. When's the last time you had a build, friend? I've done everything from a frame of LS swap that you see in my profile pic, to simply replacing the boring exhaust and headlights on my truck to make it my final vision. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And that beauty is in their own respective builds.
The bonus clip of dp at the end had me dying lol
"Fffffffu**" 🤣🤣🤣
Can't even really blame DP because they wanted him to keep his eyes on the camera.... I felt the pain of that chip and it will take me a few days to recover.
I literally LOLd at that part! 🤣🤣 And you’re right PT, you’re wife is beautiful! Way to go!
that f bomb lol
Just went for a drive in my CT, And thought to myself: man, this is a great daily! Opened TH-cam 5 min later to see this...
I have the f sport CT and it’s a surprisingly perfect daily
Saaaame. Had my ct for a year
@@iamdexture5147 thinking about a CT or an Audi A3 1.6TDI, what do you think?
Tik tok ruins everything. Clearly.
21:13 that eye roll at PT for calling her beautiful 😂
Who needs plasti dip when you can have paint like this ;P
wife: what’s the front lip for?
“it’s so you don’t hit anymore curbs 😓😭😭😭”
With it lowered and that lip she will hit more parking curbs not less.
Yeah I can’t tell if he was joking...
but it was said so serious and I think she bought it
"Whats the for?" PEte's wife learning first hand her husband's job had no function lollll
This is everything I wanted from a quick CT-200h mod. This car looks so good and I never see it modded. If only Lexus made this car into a proper hot hatch.
This car is just asking for a k swap
18:24 yes I'm interested in that :O
Glad you called out the dealer that resprayed that bumper. Definitely won't be going there for any type of work.
Even a crappy backyard rattle can job would be better lol
Hi guys, the cause of this paint peel is that the previous painter didn’t sealed the bumper with a special plastic primer. You have to degrease it first with a plastic degreaser to “soften” the material after that you need to scotchbrite it. No sandpaper needed, it came obviously new so not damaged. After that redegreased and primed. And then paint and clear. Greetings from Belgium. Love your channel, best content! I would love to give you a hand on your projects, but the ride home after a day of work would be a long one!!!
I thought you were going to install Ronal Teddy Bears on it but remembered they were 4 lug.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
I bought a set of 5x120/8.5/et45 17" ronal teddy custom 3 piece replicas 🤣🤣🤣

@@ztkphoto8696 they are custom filled and drilled and made 3 piece

These are 5x112 so some vw/audi models
You should be able to get them drilled
I really enjoy this series for content on your channel, I hope it brings you the extra subscribers you deserve. You two fellas are the most chill and likeable guys in the youtube car game.
I really appreciate the fun you guys are having. Keep it light and have fun. Much respect!!
"Whats that for?"
"Looks."
"Oh, so it doesn't serve a functional purpose."

I've always loved this car. The style is so nice and the rear is one of the best looking in the hot hatch pool. You guys did this car justice. The black on white looks stunning.
I’ve had a CT200h for a little over a year now. I love it. Plenty of power to feel sporty paired with the amazing steering. I love pushing it into corners and coming out fast. I love these mods it makes me want to look into getting them myself as long as it doesn’t affect any warranty. Great video! I see a bunch of comments asking for CT200h car review and I think you should put a review out too!
Speed Academy, your one stop shop. Maintenance, Mods, and Detailing 👍🏻😂😂 love the fixer upper videos!
What an improvment. Classic black 5 spoke on a white car is a good look!
This was so satisfying, car looks unreal man. Love it
PT...pimpin’ the wife’s whip...like a boss ! I have to say, I’ve been a huge fan of what you guys do for a while now, but your new approach to content is excellent and more car based channels should emulate you. By varying your content menu, capitalizing on your relationship with DP AND the fans, injecting self deprecating humour and keeping the originality that’s made you special, I think you’ve hit on a great approach!
While I didn't know I needed it, I have to give you props for your editing continually getting better!
Love seeing more of these episodes. Easily digestible and really satisfying to watch. Moar plz!
Let's see a review of this thing, I actually really like it. That lexus pearl white is gorgeous paint!
I am one of the few that absolutely loves the CT.. I almost picked one up as a DD a few years ago, (currently in a Corolla hatch XSE) but I love the interior on these cars so much, looks really good. Makes me want to find a clean one again!!
Get one! Have two of my own. 2011 Matador Red Mica and 2014 Starfire Pearl (same white as the video)
Hyped on the number videos being posted from you all; like double the normal amount! Great work!
I converted my 2011 ct200h premium to a 2015 f-sport after swapping the front & rear bumpers using that same wing. I went with 18 x 8.5 gram lights rims. Love that 40 mpg.
This car looks like a sportcar now. Good job, guys!
I know those initial drive impressions. That reaction is peak "oh shit we made this too firm. My wife isn't going to like this".
Sprinkling these types of videos in with the regular content is working really well for me. Keep it up boys
Definitely would love to see a review!
Good job, love the outtake at the end😀
*ting* - fuck
Fantastic video, absolutely love these short vids along with the longer series.
Being 100% real here. I have been a supporter and fan of this channel for years, and I find I have not been interested to watch the last few videos you guys have put out. I try to watch, and then find I fast forward through the whole thing, or don't click on it. I gave feedback when you guys posted that video asking for some a few months back. I figured you guys would still want feedback now to keep growing. If not, ignore this post.
I just have no appeal to the content being put out recently. Keeping it real. I do not watch the long unboxing videos of random parts. I just don't care to, unless it is followed up with track data. I skip most of these videos with random cars getting minor mods. I feel bad because I know it takes your time and effort to make them. In the end I am a track focused person. Your track content and comparisons you put out over the years is what I loved. Taking random cars, putting coilovers/wheels/lip kits/bumper repairs/etc is not what got my support originally.
I know you guys have a bunch of cars sitting around to work on (supra, s15, fd etc), and I hope there will be less focus on part revealing/long expensive builds, and more on seat time and track mod comparisons. Like back to back comparisons of different pads/tires/turbos/manifolds/alignment setups/aero changes/comparing how different cars drive against each other. What there strengths and weaknesses are, and how they respond to different mods. Jumping in someone's built car and giving feedback on its behavior on track, with lap times of all cars you have tested. Those are the videos I miss. I will say the production quality is awesome. It is sick to see that evolve for you guys. You will always have my support, and I'm hyped to see where 2021 takes Speed Academy.
Much love,
A janky turbo miata hpde driver from NY
The dislike is from the Lexus body shop who painted the bumper
@Robert Bandy so what should they call it? are you new to this channel btw
Nah, I personally just think these cars are underwhelming.
This is the kind of build I want to see!!! A build in 1 video! Thanks guys
Totally agree with you
Yes, would love to see a review of the CT200h. Been looking into buying one of these. Love that it's a practical hatch, it's a Lexus so I know it's reliable, and also great on gas. Would be great to hear a review from a daily driver/enthusiast point of view. Thanks!
A subtle yet drastic change to an already good looking hatch. 🔥🔥
As a Californian, the amount of surface rust you Canadians live with stresses me out.
as a torontonian, the stress is real
As a torontonian, the amount of surface rust you californians live with stresses my car out
Love my CT! I installed an HPS short ram air intake. It doesn't add power or improve mpgs, but doesn't hurt it either. The throaty note sounds so amazing! Highly recommend installing one.
these series are awesome they are nice quick breaks between builds lol perfect !!!!
It’s cool to see both vehicle I have on the channel! I have a LS 430 and my wife drives a CT200H. The CT is a great daily but if you are bigger than 6ft it’s a bit small.
Wow. This looks really, really good - for a Prius with leather!
Hey guys! I would love a build on a ZZW30 MRS with a 2ZZ swap, it's a really good car and a easy swap for you guys!
I have a 2012 ct 200h, a 2010 Camaro SS, and a 2jz swapped 91 300zx. I really love watching this content on the ct 200h and would love to see more even if it's just luxury, sound system, and appearance stuff. Btw I found all the Supra content really helpful with my 2jz build.
The comments are gold to match the vid (amazing 👏 ending with you guys showing the shock hitting the rear quarter panel)
Would like to see a review with details on battery and replacement aspects.
Had a good giggle at the expense of the paint work during the outro
I have a ct200h as a daily too, it is my favorite car i have ever had. It feels like the classy as hell version of the eg civic hatch i was obsessed with back in the day. I love seeing some content on these 100% slept on car.
I love these type of builds! Cant wait to see the final product 😁
There was a real opportunity to say “grounded to the ground” that was missed
fooled me with the teddy bear wheels in the thumbnail 😂
Looks killer! I use that same alignment equipment at work, top tip, if a car is super low you can zip tie the alignment heads to the wheels, I do it all the time!
Looks like your work was well-received! Who knew you could make one of those things look cool, didn't think it was possible.
I’ve always liked the styling of these, it’s a shame they only came as a hybrid.
agree. changing the battery may be costly
Hybrids are cool though.
I want to see a review! - would love to know what it's like to daily drive one.
Amazing daily, sporty enough to have fun with yet great on the economy and environment!
It was refreshing to see this video since I actually own a CT as well and there’s not really a lot of content on them out there. There a great daily driver, good job on this one guys
Smile says it all ! Love this episode. Good stuff pete !
Weird kind of LS430 you got there
This is really weird, I just got back from offering on a 15' CT-200h and this comes up lol
The digital overlords spying on you.
0:54 Pete says do-do
Hahaha, I loved that part of you at the end with rear shock, that part was hilarious 😂. Great video guys!

glad someone's here with the important links
@@randalfuentes6953 bro, I busted Gut hard at the outtake! 😂
Great job on the CT. Looks clean with those tasteful mods.
I love this series I've been watching all of them today
I would like to see a review on the CT200h. I’ve been looking to buy one
Great car I love mine. The paint on the front bumper is cheap as seen in the video for some reason, I have some of the same problems but not nearly as harsh. Rocks will hit the bumper and chip paint at high speeds but nothing a little touch up paint can’t fix well enough. The interior is pleasing to look at. Amazing leather seating. Some of the plastic feels cheap but most of it is well done. Back seat is very small so don’t expect to be hauling 4 fairly sized people very often. I love the interior design though aside from the overuse of plastic where there is no leather. Makes me feel like I’m in a Lexus. The driving experience is amazing imo. I love taking tight corners at high speeds with it, the fwd is great for pulling through turns and the light body weight makes it so there is absolutely no body roll whatsoever. However, in a straight line you aren’t gonna be winning any races! The car gets up to speed though so don’t think it’s too slow for daily use and merging into traffic it has plenty of power for casual usage. The small size males lane changing easy in small spaces and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been able to squeeze into a turn left only lane where a truck couldn’t fit! Parking is so easy you can park this thing anywhere no problem. The hatch back is great for daily use and this car has single handedly made me want a hatchback for my next cars to come! One thing I’ll note is the suspension is very stiff so hitting a pothole hurts everytime whereas a truck could brush it off, you’ll know you hit something in this little guy! (Very easy to dodge things in the road though since the width of the car is so small you could fit 1.75 of the car in 1 lane.) I love the car. Great on the wallet. Dealership maintenance can get pricy but that’s the cost of driving a luxury car and having the reliability of a Lexus. I’ve seen many of these last more than 100k miles and I’m hoping that mine is no exception! Feel free to ask me questions about the care if u need to, hope I could help! :)
@@mmeste5218 Have you had nay issues with clogged EGR? Also, I've been reading about brakes locking and/or lurching you further ahead then where you mean to stop. I looking to buy one but keep reading about these issues. Any advice will help. Thx!
@@gisellejoseph1824 I am thinkin to buy one. Would you recommend me?
@@savjottoor7910 after much reviews and research, I decided to get one last year and I love it. It’s a very nice ride. No problems and it’s been a year. Also, with the gas prices lately- filling up is not expensive. If you find a good deal- go for it!
@@gisellejoseph1824 Greattt!
Okay so please give me a suggestion, I found a 2012 ct , single owner , well taken care of, every single service done at lexus dealership, 1,50 k kms for 15 grand here in ontario, canada. There is no maintained car left these days under 10 grand ( sadly ). I feel it is a little expensive for 15 grand but even if I sell it ( which I don't think I will ) in two years, I will not lose a lot of money.
Do you think I should go for it?
"Pimp My Ride:" When ads become the content.
I have this exact car and have been wondering how to add a little spice. Thank you for the video, it was super informative for someone who doesn’t know a lot about cars!
Just picked up one of these and was looking for some ideas. Thanks for the helpful video and inspiration!
9.5" tires on a hybrid is nutty. How much do the aftermarket wheels weigh compared to the stock ones? Do they affect your mileage?
This guy low key just blamed his wife for all these mods. She mad him do it. 😂
This man has discovered the solution we have all been after since the start of mankind
Lexus looks sooo good especially with black wheels and tires and great job with front bumper 👍👍👍👍
I love how you change the rear suspension!
Those who don't comment but read comments
I'm actually really sad it's not the bear wheels.
I like the editing and funny clips in this one. Keep that up!
I'd also be interested in seeing a review of the CT
I'd absolutely love to see a review of that Lexus man. Actually I love your channel so keep up guys. Greetings from Paraguay!
Definitely poorly done paint work. All Toyota bumper covers come in raw plastic. They need to be baked through a booth cycle to off-gas any remaining mold release agents. Then they need to be scuffed and re-cleaned. Once they are in the booth: they require an application of an adhesion promoter, then a primer sealer, then your typical base/clear- the flex additive/agent normally gets added into the clear coat.
The lack of anti-seize on those suspension bolts is alarming...
The car looks fantastic! Those wheels are perfect.
You're the only channel who's in video ads I don't skip😋
These videos are legit the best.
Love these quick and “easy” builds. I’ve only watched a few, but have noticed that you usually don’t touch the brake calipers - even just a paint touch up - might be worth it...maybe. You guys are great though. Keep up the good work.
Recently bought a 2020 Lexus RC 350 F Sport for my daily. Love it so far.
I just got my 2011 Ct a month or so ago after my TC got totaled. My Ct is black but I want it wrapped white so bad with a lip.
I wish I watched this video before I purchased my tires yesterday.
Love that you feature this model and modifications!
I’d honestly buy another when the time comes.
I absolutely love this series
The outakes are great! Lexus looks real good🤙
Great video. I own a 2015 CT and I love it as a daily driver. And.. The mods were perfect. 🤘🥃👍
Production value win! Good job boys!
This is gonna be useful. Gotta make some fixes to my project car. Messed up the rears years ago when I was way younger and just not getting everything done right. Appreciate your effort
Loving these Lexus videos
Looks great Peter!!! Loved seeing your wife’s reaction, my wife would’ve had a similar reaction😂😂
I’m in for a review on Lexus!!
Just perfect wheel selection!
Love to see more personality from you guys. Great vid
Nice Lexus. I drive one too, a 2014 IS300h. Comfort and Luxury and a happy family.
such a clean mod! love it and very inspiring!
That bumper was ridiculous. Looks great now!
Always love the look of the CTs
