This is probably the hardest one yet. Without Aaron's help and the extra time from the quiz Smokey had no chance completing that within the time limit.
But if you look at there corvette video they didn’t help him at all like a little bit but still more expensive car they don’t help at all makes no sense to be real

After the last few episodes I was thinking like what are they going to do next because realistically there's a pretty short list of things that keep an engine from starting and they already ran through almost all of them.

@@parzival8331 I always reccomend learning to work on your own car gives you a stronger connection and appreciation of your vehicle. And its also alot of fun... sometimes.
@@toddp5122 thank you sir lol i appreciate it. The funny thing is im not new to rotaries I've been doing it for a while. My race car is a 87 fc track car so motor swaps or putting in a motor is nothing but for some reason the pressure was on and my thought process was all over the place 😅 but i got it done and I'm thankful for the opportunity. Im going to post a follow up video on my other TH-cam channel DLW Motorsports
First few episodes: “We removed an AC vent, the stereo, and a headlight. Get it running in 3 hours and our guest gets to keep it” This episode: “We took the engine out of an obscure Japanese Dorito boy and this man has 2 hours to make her turn over. If he gets it done he gets to keep it.” Seems fair
these are two different series. the series’s are “they can keep the car if they can fix it” but this is “they can keep it if they can reinstall the engine”. it’s obvious why this car isn’t working
I dunno, it can go either way, diagnostic can get messy and overthinking. An install is straightforward if you're organized and have proper tools. Key word is straightforward, not easy.
2023, I have this exact same car sitting a few feet away (my 4th RX7). Thanks for this... It was BETTER than any game show!... but I hope I don't ever have to drop it.
Have a feeling they realized they buried this dude in work. I also feel he is an actual subscriber and fan. No one wants to see the nice guy lose. Threw him a few more bones than usual, came up with the trivia to extend his time, everyone goes home a winner. Not upset about it at all, actually very cool of them. Donut please keep this series up.
@@TTOS69 I think the idea of the show is just giveaway a freaking car, and make an interesting video with mechanics spring their thought process. And, it feels like everyone there wants the guest to get that car, so that's why they helped Smokey so much, because this time the challenge was huge.
I gotta say this is my favorite episode yet. This process is so hard and I'm glad to see the Donut Crew help him out so much. I also learned so much from this, currently working on my S2000 and this video inspires me to continue to work on it. Thank you Donut for putting this content out, and I want to see more!!
Need to do a follow up when everything is set up nicely and running smooth, or do a "Where are they now" when you get everyone from the series together for a car meet and see what they have done to their cars.
@@mobius3466 I’d sell this one for a Turbo II or just the hatchback version. The vert can’t handle as much power as either of the other two. Parts are also harder to find for the convertible

@@AdDelayed rotary engines are the same weight as a V6 at 400lb and they require the exact same diagnostics as any other engine minus turbines. Rx7 is a small vehicle and is extremely hard to fit the engine in with everything on it

Hey, Aaron. The family and I dug you on Hyperdrive. You brought it and drove your ass off, had an awesome attitude as always, and I thought that FD was still the sickest looking piece of hardware on the show so far.

Cheers to you guys for truly being fair and giving everyone a great opportunity and chance!! 🤙 We need more people like you guys in this world love ya 🍩!!!
I think what I love most about it is that it's like the Voltron Donut! A few aspects of the Donut shows and characters combined here to have a multifaceted spot. So Awesome! Love this series, please keep it going.
By far the best of this series! Huge props to Smokie, Had an RX4 wagon with the rotary engine that was murder on cold starts but once it fired up it was a powerhouse. Enjoy the win Brother!
I love how quiet Jeremy is in all these episodes when he’s in a group of people, it’s like seeing a completely different person from when he’s largely on his own doing B2B lmao
You guys always put on a hell of a show, no matter what the setting is. Lowkey my dream is to be good enough a mechanic to do one of these with confidence
Love how y'all helped nudge him in right directions to help him win. Asked like three times about putting in gear even said it can't hurt lol. Good people
I loved it when Aaron helped him out with that intake manifold tip. Like it left me in a good mood, brought me back to when I’ve been hitting a wall and a buddy just helps me out and things started falling into place
I'm no master mechanic but watching these under the pressure of time and ya guys being right there the whole time, my hat is off to these guys I could do this but not in 2 hours, awesome job! Also donut crew I love ya guys! Wish you were my friends!
Its my first time checking y'all out,i subscribed after first show its really awesome doing what yall doing,im a gearhead,so watching is fun and its very educational for someone who has no idea, years of hands on simplified in short video props to ya
Congratulations 👏🏼🎉 to the cool guy 🙂 you deserve it bro! And this is why the 🍩 crew is so freaking Awesome 🤙🏽😎 helping my guy out was absolutely Amazing. Thanks to Aaron you rock bro! 🤘🏽

I think what I love most about it is that it's like the Voltron Donut! A few aspects of the Donut shows and characters combined here to have a multifaceted spot. So Awesome! Love this series, please keep it going.
You created something i never seen before on TH-cam or cable tv, so refreshing seeing something new on cars
By far the best of this series! Huge props to Smokie, Had an RX4 wagon with the rotary engine that was murder on cold starts but once it fired up it was a powerhouse. Enjoy the win Brother!
I love how quiet Jeremy is in all these episodes when he’s in a group of people, it’s like seeing a completely different person from when he’s largely on his own doing B2B lmao
thats not even bros name haha
@@ericmarciniak1 I guess Im more used to referring to Jerma so that’s what came to mind first since it’s pretty close to Jeremiah
Love this series keep it up guys
You guys always put on a hell of a show, no matter what the setting is. Lowkey my dream is to be good enough a mechanic to do one of these with confidence
This is weirdly satisfying to watch….seeing someone put something together is cool.
in the next episode:
Giving people a car, if they can Build it
In 10 minutes
Love how y'all helped nudge him in right directions to help him win. Asked like three times about putting in gear even said it can't hurt lol. Good people
I was on the edge of my seat cheering for Smokey !!
What a hell of a mechanic
I like this series, and really don't wanna see anyone going home without a new car! They all work so hard and I'm on the edge of my seat.
these guys literally have the best sponsor intagration. Only sponsor segment I actually watch
This was the best one! Donut crew coming through and not letting dude go home empty handed! Love that shit!
Love the rotary content. Pretty sure the diagram when explaining rotaries spun the rotor backwards. Great video guys love y’all
yeah... they said the exhaust exits the intake ports. It doesn't.
I discovered your channel not long ago and I'm LOVING it! Very cool what you guys do giving a car to a person!
I loved it when Aaron helped him out with that intake manifold tip. Like it left me in a good mood, brought me back to when I’ve been hitting a wall and a buddy just helps me out and things started falling into place
These vids are always so exciting, and I love the mechanical knowledge and tips sprinkled throughout
I'm no master mechanic but watching these under the pressure of time and ya guys being right there the whole time, my hat is off to these guys I could do this but not in 2 hours, awesome job! Also donut crew I love ya guys! Wish you were my friends!
A normal engine works on: Suck, Squeeze, bang, blow.
That’s one way to look at it.
It’s so nice how basically we know they’re gonna win, because the guys help them along the way
Its my first time checking y'all out,i subscribed after first show its really awesome doing what yall doing,im a gearhead,so watching is fun and its very educational for someone who has no idea, years of hands on simplified in short video props to ya
Congratulations 👏🏼🎉 to the cool guy 🙂 you deserve it bro! And this is why the 🍩 crew is so freaking Awesome 🤙🏽😎 helping my guy out was absolutely Amazing. Thanks to Aaron you rock bro! 🤘🏽
I'm getting addicted to this shit. Can't wait till I can finally afford my first project car. Thank you guys for the inspiration!
I don't know why this channel came across my algorithm. But glad it did. I've been binge watching for weeks. This one actually made me put the Donut crew in the "these some great guys" category.
My favorite part of this show is they the guys really want them to win. And basically help them do that
That was the hardest one yet. Great job Smokey!!!
Yo shoutout to that dude that did put that engine in the end! Had me hyped!!!
Starting to love this series
These guys are so talented the way they can do work like this so quick 👏
these are probably my favorite videos from the crew. wish there was more!
As a new mechanic with 3 months of experience, please do more of these!!
