Props to you for always smiling; it can be so easy to get upset when things go wrong. This brings back memories of my wife and I leaving a rained out Hot Import Nights show. We wound up drenched in a downpour and driving through a foot of mud just to get out of the area took a week to clean that car...good times.
It's always a choice weather to make an experience good or bad! Ever since the T Bone I've been set on making life more positive! Plus like you said, makes for great memories 😅
love the face that you always smile when things just don't want to go your way. Awesome community that is there to support you and not leave you in the dark. Inspiration forreals.
Awesome that you are the kind of dude that cleans up the mess! So many people would have just left that oil there and then some poor worker would have had to come deal with it on Monday.
Again your attitude towards problems is incredibly inspirational. Sometimes I struggle when things go wrong and you help me see my way through that. Thank you, I love your content.
This is why I personally would never go that low xD I ain't got the energy or money to keep fixing scrapes that could've been prevented :P Got too much to fix without that already lmao
It's nice to see people stayed behind to help you exit that car meet location. In a similar situation, I would be solo and would have to rely on whatever I had in the trunk. Having supportive people around makes a huge difference!😊 The ride height after raising the suspension still looks good and it's more usable. Thanks again for bringing us along on another interesting adventure. Have a nice weekend!
One day I hope I can follow in your foot steps you help people learn and I want to do that to. You’re channel is helping me learn more and more every upload. Thank you for showing how you can persevere with things that might seem impossible.:)
Awesome that your friends were able to help out! Today was a good day for my project too... finished welding the sills and rear quarter, and replaced my brown interior with a grey/black setup. interior is now the top spec GSI (Opel term comparable to Type-R etc) style with original recaro's and everything
I can only manage a 2 finger gap on my Mustang, a huge improvement over stock and thankfully low enough for me because any lower and I'd start having driveway issues with my front lip
Not an ideal situation, but life's full of unexpected things and you've got people that care and support you, hope you still had a great day with everyone. And it's awesome you did share it with us
First half of the video feels like og haggard garage in the best way. Yeah it sucks but being that low comes with its complications so a little height helps lol. Definitely invest in those gktech Ramps I just got mine on Tuesday 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Much appreciated man! Raising the car half an inch made much more of a difference than I thought honestly. Luckily the car didn't suffer visually from rasing it 🙏
Yo, the electical tape around the coilover threads is a great idea. I'm gonna slap that on when I'm under my car today. Thanks, Mike, you're a real one.👌🏼
Yet another great video! Its good to see the support of the other car enthusiast's at the meet who where more than willing to help you! Raising your car sux, but it still looks 🔥
I don't even want to imagine trying to get over the speedbumps at my local supermarket's parking lot with the Z. Even my (nearly) stock ride height Legacy gets almost beached on those things no matter how hard i try to get over them 😂
Now thats family and support for ya. Glad to see yall had some rc drifting fun. Cant wait to meet you at the Affinity Circuit in Oregon brother man. Stay safe and keep it wheel.
Man there's always something extremely motivating to me in your videos thank you ❤️ This time it was the dashcam sound, I'm glad you got one, mine does the same sound on start up and I haven't heard that sound since I pulled my engine out before the summer :D another reminder to get it done
here in Cali we have loads of speed bumps. mostly you can drive diagonally over them and only scrape a little bit. maybe next time don't drive straight into the speed bump but do like a 45* angle
I want to know how Many miles you put on that engine with that rubber grommet in there. That's actually amazing that it held up to the crank case pressure and the pressure from the weight of the oil.
We have speed bumps where my SLK230 with stock suspension would scrape. That isn’t even a low car. So the government’s method of slowing down cars is by just destroying them. That’s effective I guess…
Idk how far you live from the tail of the dragon but you should definitely come to classic Hondas on the dragon around this same time next year, it’s always the first weekend of October and it’s one of the biggest Honda meets we have 🤙🏾
Hey mike, I've been watching ur videos for a little over a year. I'm sixteen and I bought my very own s14 and I've been wanting to manual swap it but the thing is here on guam it's very rare to find any s14 at all. So I wanted to know if I could possibly buy one from u or Omar. But thanks for all the motivation!! And keep up the good work.
put your ramps backwards on the down side of the speed ramp next time for the front wheels to hit. should hold the sump up long enough to clear it smashing
When you drive low any bumps or dips you have to angle super hard when you fill lock your wheels you can see the car lift a little and most of the time it’ll save the car from hitting the pan or anything else important
you gotta learn how to 'S' a hump. Where the front right wheel first goes over the hump, then the left front wheel, then the rear right wheel, then the left rear wheel. Make sure that the left rear wheel climbs on the hump while the front left wheel is still on the hump to avoid being stuck on the hump. In South Africa we call them humps not speed bumps lol. Much love ✊🏾
That looks like it was a plug that was put in to seal a hole that the junkyard popped in the oil pan they like to do . That's not a factory plug. These engines only had one drain plug. I'll never understand why junkyards do that All they have to do is pop the drain plug out but they'll hit it with an air powered punch and ruin the oil pan😢 I would much rather buy a new drain, plug and washer and screw it into an unscathed pan Then to have to repair a pan that still has the drain plug in and a massive hole from an air hammer. As far as making a oil pan I would just make a massive skid plate honestly You already modified everything to fit the front sump pan Sorry for the tough break man. Love your content.
Mike could you do a vid on what you use and just some rc stuff as I want to build and get into rc drifting I know bits and bobs but be nice to watch a vid on it
First mistake it’s taking the speed bump straight, always is best to take it sideways it prevents that from happening but in the good side it help you make some good content and some good memories with your friends
those welds are tooo fn good for dirty and oily surfaces. sheesh. nice work. either your welder is gold, youre on 220v or your settings are perfect. cause i have perfectly prepped and clean metal, and im not getting good fushion. .020 welding wire, plus argon mix gas, on a harbor freight welder. shit sucks ass... fuck i need a better welder. i assume youre using .32" wire? you using argon 100% or argon mix?
Great to see everyone stuck with you until the end , did ' Robin ' come solo without Batman
Go Pens
I did not see a Batman there! So I think he was solo lol

I mean that's how life is! Getting annoyed or angry about something ain't going to fix it, just laugh it out and get working!
Happy to see Mike posted, I’m going through a lot right now and your vids help a lot
Keep your head up man! It gets better 🙏
@@PrizzaMike I appreciate you my boy🫶🏻
You’re my comfort content creator bro. Never stop doing what you’re doing ❤
poor mikes cars cant catch a break
Best homies ever! Cars breaking down when hanging out with your boys are actually fun nights 😂
love the face that you always smile when things just don't want to go your way. Awesome community that is there to support you and not leave you in the dark. Inspiration forreals.
It's a beautiful thing when friends come to the rescue for you man. They are truly ride or die man guy!!!!
Meant to say My guy😅
“I’m raising the car”😅😂 don’t tell anyone lol 😂
Awesome that you are the kind of dude that cleans up the mess! So many people would have just left that oil there and then some poor worker would have had to come deal with it on Monday.
I have never seen so much precision to get over a speedbump
Again your attitude towards problems is incredibly inspirational. Sometimes I struggle when things go wrong and you help me see my way through that. Thank you, I love your content.
Same bro... I'm 47 and I really started trying about 4 years ago...
It's hard sometimes.
Also, u should keep old skate decks in the trunk. Those will help ya get over the bumps
Smart!
Cool video bro glad to see you got it fixed love the 300zx cant wait to see how the glorias comeing keep it up bro
This is why I personally would never go that low xD I ain't got the energy or money to keep fixing scrapes that could've been prevented :P Got too much to fix without that already lmao

Ever since I randomly stumbled on your videos I fell in love instantly I love your contact
Finally you raised it, it looks a million times better now!
One day I hope I can follow in your foot steps you help people learn and I want to do that to. You’re channel is helping me learn more and more every upload.
Thank you for showing how you can persevere with things that might seem impossible.:)

I totally feel ya! Don't want to have to buy a lip every time you enter your driveway lol
Not an ideal situation, but life's full of unexpected things and you've got people that care and support you, hope you still had a great day with everyone. And it's awesome you did share it with us

Raising the car half an inch made much more of a difference than I thought honestly. Luckily the car didn't suffer visually from rasing it 🙏
@@PrizzaMike you might have to raise it more once you get your body kit otherwise it'll drag 😅
@@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS honestly I was thinking the same thing 😭
Might have to make a splitter tbh
Yo, the electical tape around the coilover threads is a great idea. I'm gonna slap that on when I'm under my car today. Thanks, Mike, you're a real one.👌🏼
Just put antiseize on the threads.
Yet another great video! Its good to see the support of the other car enthusiast's at the meet who where more than willing to help you! Raising your car sux, but it still looks 🔥
Put the old oil pan back in,its allready shaped for puropse😂😂,that stinks alrite mate,love ya channel and thanks for your time✌🏻
ive been watchin u for a lil while now keep up the good work
I don't even want to imagine trying to get over the speedbumps at my local supermarket's parking lot with the Z.
Even my (nearly) stock ride height Legacy gets almost beached on those things no matter how hard i try to get over them 😂
At the moment I saw your vid on the homepage it had 6.9k views, nice :)
So many problems for Mike man ! Our support is there for u mike
Now thats family and support for ya. Glad to see yall had some rc drifting fun. Cant wait to meet you at the Affinity Circuit in Oregon brother man. Stay safe and keep it wheel.

Can't wait for another junkyard adventure
here in Cali we have loads of speed bumps. mostly you can drive diagonally over them and only scrape a little bit. maybe next time don't drive straight into the speed bump but do like a 45* angle
Hell yeah Mike!!! Saturday drops are great
Man PizzaMike it's so good to have great friends who's willing to help you out in times when you need it. I'm also happy to see a upload on a Saturday
240, z, gloria, im here for it all. keep at it man, much love from iowa
The junkyards down here in Florida put that grommet in when they pop holes in the oil pan
I want to know how Many miles you put on that engine with that rubber grommet in there. That's actually amazing that it held up to the crank case pressure and the pressure from the weight of the oil.
Since I log everything I can tell you!
I've driven the z around 8k miles!
@@PrizzaMike that's awesome. I love it
That's the reason why I can't lower my car. The roads where I live are so bad I'm at stock height on my z33, and it rubs already
It's a dangerous game, the low life vs crappy roads haha
We have speed bumps where my SLK230 with stock suspension would scrape. That isn’t even a low car. So the government’s method of slowing down cars is by just destroying them. That’s effective I guess…

Applaud to u bro for cleaning up your mess 🙏✌️others would just pack up n leave
stoked for more!!
Its time for a skid plate brother, super easy to make. I have one that kind of holds all the oil that leaks out of my 240
Tim is a national treasure fr😂❤
Hell yeah Shows how awesome the car community really is.
Damn that is some bad luck
(btw that was really nice crx)
Loved the unexpected upload, just in time for my fix.
Mike I haven’t ran my 240 s13 since you have gotten ur 300sx what should I do first before running it new has an oil lol ?
Respect for cleaning up the lot 👍🏼
You could use an old bike inner tube to protect the threads on the coilover, could work.
Great work Mike, also you've got really good friends❤️💪🤘🤟👌
This video inspired me to keep a crescent wrench in my car
yessirrr, always wait on videos to pop up brotha
That was an adventure for sure
Hey mike, I've been watching ur videos for a little over a year. I'm sixteen and I bought my very own s14 and I've been wanting to manual swap it but the thing is here on guam it's very rare to find any s14 at all.

PrizzaMike i am missing the junkyard videos !!
Same shit my way with my 1984 starion/conquest. Such a pain in the ass trying to keep it road worthy and dependable, parts are none existent 😵
Look for your videos every time I open TH-cam
Love your content man keep it up!
put your ramps backwards on the down side of the speed ramp next time for the front wheels to hit. should hold the sump up long enough to clear it smashing
Prizza Mike and the Speedbump Chronicles
You know for a fact Mike has maybe failed in geometry since his 300z keeps getting scrapped xd
man after i lowerd my car my front bumpers bottom has gotten a LOT more "aerodynamic defuser Lines" aka massive gashes XD
When you drive low any bumps or dips you have to angle super hard when you fill lock your wheels you can see the car lift a little and most of the time it’ll save the car from hitting the pan or anything else important
Bro full lock right get the tyre on the curb drive up and over the bump. It's what sidewalks are for 😂
bro that ride height looks so good don’t raise ! 😭 just raise the engine (:
Mike, why are you driving over to speedbump straight You have to go over speedbumps diagonally.
My God that FD with the tri spokes 😍😍
Ghey! 😂
what a nice community of friends, love it
That's crazy how body low those cars are, my car has the same tire fitment in the front, and it has like 5 times the ground clearance
Hey man nice to see that driving. How do you like the z with the ka?
You should do the trip with ricer miata rudnick to canda. It would be a group of s14's
Bro no one taught you to hit bumps at an angle? You'll atleast have a tire height on each corner. Great video man
You thought about going a size up on the rims then lower it to where it was at then you have better clearance
Lots of roadkill in my area. My intercooler would be toast in no time. Stock height for my audi
Gotta go at the speed bumbs at a side ways angle never straight over like that lol
If your going to build your own pan , Excessive engineering makes a machined thick steel pan rail to start with.
you gotta learn how to 'S' a hump. Where the front right wheel first goes over the hump, then the left front wheel, then the rear right wheel, then the left rear wheel. Make sure that the left rear wheel climbs on the hump while the front left wheel is still on the hump to avoid being stuck on the hump. In South Africa we call them humps not speed bumps lol. Much love ✊🏾
I tried that when I first got there, the car was beached in the center 😅
That looks like it was a plug that was put in to seal a hole that the junkyard popped in the oil pan they like to do .

I'll never understand why junkyards do that

Then to have to repair a pan that still has the drain plug in and a massive hole from an air hammer.
As far as making a oil pan
I would just make a massive skid plate honestly
You already modified everything to fit the front sump pan
Sorry for the tough break man. Love your content.
Damn dude you need aircups on the front coils and a street sign under that pan.
Yall need to throw in together and get a truck and trailer for all these cars!
Maybe an skid plate 😬👌
Mike could you do a vid on what you use and just some rc stuff as I want to build and get into rc drifting I know bits and bobs but be nice to watch a vid on it
mike pro tip, angle when going over speed bumps and send it, dont go slow lol
What kind of rc cars those like where ya get em I’m dyin to pick one up!!
Grind the head of a bolt down to a phillips, crossthread it then weld
smokes got a job again "burnin rubber & leekin oil" fun for the hole family
Love the z
Man that looked like a mission to get that thing patched out there.
good! safety is best.
Got that 5w-30 x 10w-30 mixture lol
First mistake it’s taking the speed bump straight, always is best to take it sideways it prevents that from happening but in the good side it help you make some good content and some good memories with your friends
Mike why didn't you raised the coilovers?
WE WANNA SEE THE CATS😲😲😲
those welds are tooo fn good for dirty and oily surfaces. sheesh. nice work. either your welder is gold, youre on 220v or your settings are perfect. cause i have perfectly prepped and clean metal, and im not getting good fushion. .020 welding wire, plus argon mix gas, on a harbor freight welder. shit sucks ass... fuck i need a better welder. i assume youre using .32" wire? you using argon 100% or argon mix?
I use a Hobart MIG welder, 110v, I can't remember the wire thickness, I want to say . 03, 75-25 argon mix.
I just noticed that Nissan didn't relocate the handbrake/ebrake for LHD, so its on the passenger side. Thats funny lol.
It bothers me so much 😬
Jesus Mike, hope your luck returns soon!
and fabricate and skid plate🤙🏻
