We bought each other cheap hot hatches and today were modifying them. Will bought Edwin a stolen Civic Type R for £1950 ($2500) and Edwin bought Will a crash damaged Ford Focus ST for £1800 ($2300). We both have a budget of £500 in modifications and we'll also surprise one another with one free mod each.

Car Vertical need to stop poisoning the internet with their God damn sponsorships. Stop. Stop it. Stoppy stop stoppidy stop. It. Stop it. Please. Stop. Thanks
Love the videos, gents! Thanks to CarVertical, I found all the pertinent information I needed before test driving my next car. It was worth it! Keep up the amazing content!
Guys. I love your channel, I love the rapport and humor. But can you PLEASE try to limit the Jason Bourne shakeycam ?? It's really hard to watch on a big TV without getting horribly nauseous 🤮
PS : Please try to find a better swear bleep than the notification "bong" 🫤
*ok!*
the average number of arms is just under 2 so you both have an above average number of arms
Edwin cares not for performance or mods. No. He is a man of cleanliness and shine. Respect.
What's the stuff he uses 👀🤣👌
and ADHD...
Don’t encourage him!!!!
@@deanlake7962 Halfords 3-IN-ONE Professional Heavy Duty Cleaner Degreaser
My exact approach to cars!!
Will's imitation of a ST is impressive, hire him to make engine noises in the next Gran Turismo.
He could replace the people that do the sound for forza horizon.
He could make his own game called Gran Autismo
@@ihavealife002 Perfect.
@@beanmw96 that's gonna be game of the year when it gets released.
Like for the Pepe 😅
6:10 This is the key to swapping springs. Use the safest style of compressing clamps in the world which could never slip, then just in case of the tiny chance they were to slip, keep your face above them as much as possible to protect the car/ceiling.
Love it, some great added tension lol
To protect the car/ceiling lmaoooooo
Was cringing every time his face went above the strut haha
Yep, and NOT WEARING A DAMN SAFETY TIE in the process ... absolutely careless!!!
don't forget, keep your hand holding onto the spring too
Putting your face in the way of the spring is even worse than it going through the ceiling or hitting the car or hitting something else if it pings off the strut. The spring could leave you with permanent/life changing injuries which you do not want at all.
Very interesting fact that these two guys didn't really shine on the other channels but on their own they're just brilliant. A joy to watch how much fun they're having. Quality content and high level of authenticity. Keep up, boyz!
Ewin always shone to me
That’s an option not a fact bud
@@jakestewart2095 did you mean opinion, perhaps?
"There's two different blues, isn't there? I think I got the other one, I got the wrong blue, didn't I?" 🤣
I wouldn't actually be too upset with the orange bumper. Blue and orange kinda go together. But that heart steering wheel would make me stuff it off a cliff ASAP
Will just enjoying a succulent chinese meal
Get your hands off my focus!
This is the bloke that got me on the focus people
Ah I see you know your judo well!
@@lettuce984 LOL
Gold
God this channel is a gem!
These two just GET car culture!
Being able to appricate older peformance cars and doing cheap or shady work to em and just enjoying them without having to compare them to the newest bmw M-whatever and being obsessed with numbers seems to be somewhat of a lost art in the car community!
Keep it going guys!!!
It's a bit like having a British MCM....
@@iamaparanoidandroid1 right!?
@@streeatbeat which is a good thing.
@@iamaparanoidandroid1 yea. im agreeing with ya lol. its awesome to watch!
I think they are the best out of all the new channels that came from car throttle.
The thing i like the most about these videos is that when you guys say you have a £500 budget you actually stick to it and dont just thrown in a £1000+ set of BC Coilovers in the mix lol, seeing a £100 set of springs being put on the Focus was very refreshing, keep it up!
Except tires and brakes…
The insulation under the bonnet is not just for NVH, but is also designed to smother an engine bay fire should one occur if you leave the engine bay closed, which in this instance might end up being necessary 😂
Watching this on my lunch break from working on audis for a living, I envy the amount of fun you two are able to have working on cars. Loving the videos, keep it up!
heat is another big one. might cook the paint over time.
@@C3rb3ru5 alot of cars are so cheaply made they don't even paint that side of the bonnet. just primer
@@BondoV2 I'm talking about damage to the top paint. It was a more common issue on older cars. I ran without my liner for a couple of weeks and could see way more heat off the hood. I think the metal retains the heat more as well, heat soaking the engine bay
@@C3rb3ru5 tbh I haven’t had an issue with mine, then again one of mine is vented. But i agree taking heat shields off definitely makes a big difference. But if your worried about heat you can just wrap your header
@BondoV2 in the end, we agree it's more then sound deadening.
Goddam that induction kit on the Civic. VTEC just kicked in properly now!
Just finished Jack and Ethan’s new video, back to homepage and TDC have a new video…Good timing
What's jack and ethans TH-cam channel
All the gear
Jack and Ethans channel is great too thank you CT we now have 3 new channels worth watching 4 if you include AA2 these channels are going places.
When Will said, “That is silencing me like an oppressive government”, my Kenyan self felt that
factsss
Nothing truer.😂
you guys alright with those flash floods?
@@KeebaAfrica the floods ended months ago. We’re now protesting against the government
That orange bumper makes it kinda look like a hotwheels car. I like it.
Soon becoming one my favourite channels💪🏻🤣 the comedy value is amazing 🤣🤣🤣
That buying each other parts was such a top gear style moment. Actually had me creasing and you didn’t just copy something that had already been done. Nice to see some inspiring content on TH-cam. This is definitely the channel to be watching right now, top tier boys.
I love this, just 2 mates scaring the shit out of each other when fitting springs
I love to see ex CT et al presenters enjoying making videos they actually want to make. Makes the videos so much more enjoyable to watch
YESSSS, just what I needed to get through monday thanks lads
Honestly this channel is so fresh, loving the content! CT obviously died, but I'm struggling to get through Auto Alex currently, fed up of BMW content, looking forward to seeing his Ferrari build at least!
Never knew Will before this, but feel like I could have a genuine petrol head chat in a pub with them both. Top work lads
Totally agree... If Taylor wasn't there I'd be gone.. So SO much BMW... Is there nothing else in the UK?
@TopDeadC Edwin. 7:37 . Bit of advice from someone who had to restore metalwork on vintage motorcycles and cars; WD-40 and some triple ought steel wool will remove most of that pitting, far better than metal polish will. Follow that with a cotton cloth and the polish, both yourself and the Can-o-Japan will thank me later.
Or y'know throw the whole car in the bin and move onto another project, thats pretty good as well
The orange bumper looks really cool
Should add a rear bumper in that colour aswell. There was an advertisement car with exactly that colour combination, but I don't remember what it was advertising for.
Right? I sooort of dig the look, maybe a bit more orange accents instead of just the front
Will should just lean into the orange and do an Orange stripe down the middle and make a Gulf Livery for the bants.
4:18 That Homelander impression is hilarious 🤣
Love the absolute chaos of this channel. Both bounce off each other so well
Car content is at an all time peak thanks to dudes like these
What about the Zafira? It fought for its life to not get crushed, and now you are just leaving it to rot? 😢
Archie, Margaret, and their 5 other kids (3 not related to Archie) will never get to school on time now! 😭😭😭😭😭
Its currently badly parked in the local Harvester Pub car park with a fake disability badge on the window.
It started a beef with Ronnie Pickerings Y reg Citroen Picasso… and lost.
Not again 😔
@@zogzoogler
They will meet again at gregs and have a rematch!
Improvement to its previous life in the council house grass driveway blocked in by a fridge and a rusty swing set lol@@zogzoogler
Just an advice is to knock on the bolt before trying to unscrew it with socket or screwdriver..and use heat to it! The ep3 stock wheels looks so much better on the ep3. That new big air filter just sucking hot air so less performance but damn good sound! The St sound so good with that backbox. The buckle on the back of st plastic bumper..just use either boiling hot water or just a heatgun and push it out from the inside..easy fix! Great episode and looking forward to next one. Taalaa like Mike brewer says 👋
i am genuintely so glad i found your channel, been watching since the first video and honestly i was having a proper sh**y day and ive just smiled for the first time in 24 hours :) love the content guys, please start uploading twice a week haha
Nice profile pic 📸 😂
@@carsonng8373 haha thanks pal ;D
Always good too listen too Edwin giving it detonation 9000 at every chance haha 😂
@@andrewjohnson7960 waaaaammmmmbambambambam!!
4:29 Will getting a fright and the verbal diarrhoea afterward made my day. 😂😂😂
Just finished All the Gears new video then this straight out after. Perfect
I never thought I'll ever find more entertaining hosts than the original top gear/grand tour trio, but you both have proved me wrong! I would happily watch hour long episodes! 👍
11:05
Here we go, just gonna run up and sneak up on it.
Whatever that noise was that he made after this I laughed so loud! That was fucking hilarious 😂😆
Will and Ed are like me and my bird. I go about talking shit and making a mess while she goes about cleaning everything.... Twice! 😂
the chemistry between these two lads is brilliant. smart and quick-wit humour sits really well in these vids and makes for an easy and humorous watch. i very rarely make a comment on anyones youtube video, however i’m glad i’ve move my support from ct to tdc. keep it up 👍🏼
I wasn't sure this channel would be a success compared with what they did before but i'm happy to be proven wrong. Will and Edwin compliment each other well and the content is good. With the Alex stuff and Ethan and Jack's channel it's the TriMotorTube of goodness!
Edwin's obsession with cleaning reminds me of Captain Slow's obsession with things being in order.
That "my first steering wheel" is absolutely hilarious.
I want to see a TDC V2 channel that's just Edwin cleaning stuff. Every now and then the viking could show up.
Love this channel. Just two mates working on cars having a laugh. My dream day. Love the balance of humour and technical content too. Really great channel guys - my favourite within the AutoAlex universe - and that's a tough group!
I love that Edwin cleans his car as this shows cleanliness, respect, and love for the car. I feel for Will not being able to do his rear suspension. Loving the content and videos ❤
Love seeing these two working together on cars. Never borring. And how that they gone for the performance other that fixing all the problems. 😂
And Edwin always cleaning 😂. Edwin do you have time that I can borrow you for few days. I need to clean a few of my bikes. But I cant bring myself to do it. I just ride them all the time. And my cars also need a good clean.
Hello from Slovenia 🇸🇮
This channel is just awesome. The channel I didn’t know I needed! I was happy with Alex and the rest of them, but you guys and the challenges, the wit, the camaraderie… Just fantastic 👍😎
I think I got the wrong blue 😂😂😂😂. Ed has smashed the prep on that Honda. Magic touch
Every focus st needs an upgraded exhaust 🤣
Love that Will got a succulent chinese reference in whilst showing off his new racing flute.
Hey guys! Next time you struggle on that rotor retainer screw on Japanese cars - what you need is a Vessel Megadora Impacta JIS screwdriver. It’s a JIS fastener, not PH3, and the impact function with a hammer will break that screw loose. Don’t use an impact gun - only a JIS impact screwdriver. Hope that helps - love the channel - my partner and I watch together whenever there’s a release!
I appreciate the purple bar for the time left on the advertising so much
Will’s commitment to wearing jobby catchers is remarkable.
Getting halfway through a job then giving up on it because a bolt won’t come out is literally my life 😂 I love to see even guys with much more experience and tools still suffer this fate sometimes!
11:50 At first i was like "Febi? That's Blue Print" but then i remembered that BP is part of the Bilstein group
Tip for the screws on the disc, hit it a shock and turn the screwdriver at the same time, or get an impact driver with a no2 Phillips bit
Wonderful to see Edwin the Cleaner back in action
Anyone else actually like the blue + orange ST? Reminds me of hot wheels!
love that front bumper the contrast is crazy
Ford focus harlequin 😅

14:40 - 'Foggy Headlights' - A CHEAPER AND EFFECTIVE alternative :-
- A couple wooly buff pads
- Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Toothpaste
- A spray bottle with clean water
- Some clean microfibre towels
- A bottle or spray of Anti-UV coating/protect ant/laquer
STEPS:-
- Wash & rinse headlights thoroughly.
- Spray headlights with clean water
- Wet wooly buff pad and apply liberal amount of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Toothpaste, and smear all over the headlight
- Start to buff the headlights on a medium speed (IF using a cordless drill use '1' out of the 2 gears)
- Buf in circles covering the whole headlight
- Occasionally give the headlights a little spritz of the clean water to keep the headlight plastic cool and the paste moist
- Keep doing that until the headlight has had a good polish over (you can check progress by wiping over a small area to see how clear the headlight is becoming)
- IF the headlight needs another round, then repeat process (clear headlight over, wet, apply toothpaste and polish away)...
FORGET the idiots that say "The tooth paste method doesn't work" or "It will fail again quickly", as, I have done this exact thing on AT LEAST a dozen personal, friends and family cars, have saved them a lot of money, AND IF done with patience, care, attention to detail and with the UV protectant once the job's done, WILL LAST YEARS. Even without using the protect ant,it WILL help your car pass an MOT and then get up to a good years clear headlight out of them at least....
Side note, EVEN A THIN FILM of road dirt WILL cut down how effective your bulbs will cast the light down the road, so ALWAYS try and keep your headlights clean! And DON'T be a NOB and forget the rear of the car either, IF it's hard to see your tail lights (because you don't wash your car), you're more likely to get smacked up the arse!
😎🇬🇧
The steering wheel and the bumper, genius levels of fùckery on display there chaps. Well done.
Man you guys have quickly became my favourite car channel on youtube. actually my favourite channel, the only channel i get excite for a new video dropping! Alex is a close second but you guys just remind me of me n my pals, especially the fact that youve got an st and an ep3 now, i had a performance blue st and ive now got a k24 accord :) Great job guys, the content is amazing and use are doing a brilliant job. should bring them up to scotland to crail for a day!
Great video, you've hit the nail on the head with these ones :) I'm not surprised you both feel a bit bad for those mods lol
I find that orange car bumper look good.Put an oranger thicc strip on both side and call it a day.
"If you're covering a crevice..." Missed opportunity to make a plumber's crack joke on the tape.
Makes me laugh more than any other channel, good shit fellas, thank you for your content
I just love Will's thinking. Damaged front fender/wing. Puts on exhaust instead... haha
Also as an Australian, kudos for referencing 'THIS IS DEMOCRACY, MANIFEST'.... hahahaha
Out of all the new/spin off channels this one is the best
1.35 in and ive already laughed three times 😂
I love the TDC boys.
I used to have a Focus RS MkII - one of the cheapest and best mods I ever made was solid engine mount bushings. They were like £70. The amount of movement on those engines on stock bushings can literally unsettle it when you're pushing it hard.
Nothing better than smoking a fat joint and watching TDC ❤
11:07 watching these guys use the wrong tools and say things aren’t possible, is hilarious and maddening. As someone who builds race cars and works on lots of old BMWs and Porsches, I can’t stop laughing.
Love it when they wear the merch from the other guys from the auto alex universe
You know, that orange and blue looks pretty cool together.
I mean, I wouldn’t drive it, but I’m not hotboi enough.
The orange bumper looks kinda cool ngl.
I love how Edwin has just taken all the wood off his watch and its made it look a thousand times better XD
I feel like 200 years ago Edwin would have been the most content chimney sweep in history. The man loves cleaning.
Hope you guys continue on in the same vain. This is the first British based car youtubers who i've felt have managed to match the reasons why so many people like Mighty Car Mods.
Easily the best lot to come out of Car Throttle.
I'm gonna need a couple of grand 😂😂😂 never laughed so hard in my life
You two work so, so well. This channel is great!
Only a quarter way through but you’ve cheered me right up 😂
I reckon the orange bumper looks great. Two tone is the new cool.
NGL orange bumper on a blue car looks kinda good
BANG!!!! Aaargh I’ve 💩 my pants!!
Nothing more needs to be said 🤣🤣
Edwin, get a heat shield for that Heat Soaker 9000 😂
Ok I can’t believe I’m saying this but that front bumper actually works
Its awesome that you feature cars that aren't bmws like the other guys❤❤❤
I absolutely love the average person performance car series you got going on. I feel a lot more involved in this series owning a MK7 fiesta ST, I can learn a lot from this too.
A lot better than buying a 120k miles range rover or Mini
You guys have fast become my favourite TH-cam channel. I look forward to every Monday
The look on edwins face when hes cleaning them brakes looks like he's been sniffing the Halfords stuff
The steering wheel got me 😂
Edwin is the James May of TDC.
What is this magic juice Edwin is using 😆 🤣
The only complaint i have is that these videos aren't daily! Top video as usual lads keep em coming
I come across this channel just by chance couple of months ago! and am absolutely loving it keep up the good work
That exhaust is a “succulent Chinese meal”
Will. Sacrifice the drop links the springs will come out with a large bar. Or undo to of shocks under wheel arch 16mm to drop bottom arm. Done quite a few when the 15mm lower shock bolt seized into the hub.
I’ve got an M54 turbo powered E30 and I have mentally and physically been where Will was at 12:25 of this video - for 6 years.
I hope the lad who bought the clio joins in on the track days
Am I the only one who would love a two tone, orange and blue, paint job for the Focus?
Such good antics. Loving this channel.
Earlier today I came across Edwin’s video from the channel which must not be named where he talks about how Gordon Murray ‘cheated in F1’. It was a 5 minute long video of Edwin just talking to camera with some basic animations. I’d love if things like this could continue. Although not everyone is into F1 I think everyone is into watching Edwin talking to the camera
If you are fitting evo wheels you should use a hub locating ring or you risk snapping the wheel studs. Especially if you are thinking of taking the cars on a track.
I love the MX5 bumper smiling in the background
Thanks i needed this to get past monday
