tommy, tell the painter tin foil is much easier for wrapping up wiring harnesses and such, wrap the foil around it, squeeze it and seal the edge with tape. a lot quicker as well
@@ter3360 no more so than the paper/tape would. i mean i’m sure it would if you were really loading up the paint onto it. but you shouldn’t be doing that.
@@bdubwiley yeah I get you. I just thought with foil and crease's maybe it could be possible to build up and drip but again like you said it's only over spray
The "filmier" is late all the time, I don't think ol' Tommy boy likes it. You're either full send team FYeah or you're not and you're the "filmier"... I don't have a fucking clue what I'm talking about. So... carry on
@@nicholasdavidson5683 I just had the USDM version.... Loved that car since it was all blacked out lowered on 17in Slipstreams with the red pinstriped lip with the painted type S front lip. It was simple and clean until i parked it at my friend's house when i was out of town for a wedding and his dad called me the next morning and told me my car was 2 feet shorther than the day before 🤬.

i love how josh uses hand tools so much. makes the videos so much nicer to watch than loud impacts and feel like that level of detail doing it by hand fits this shop so much
Not that you stuff didn't come out nice, but a few notes for powder coating since I used to work on a paint line. Pressure looks a bit high. That is a ton of paint coming out of the gun. You'll get less waste paint and as good or better finish if you lay it a bit thinner. You want more of a cloud of paint going to the part than a sandstorm. Also, you should technically always start your pressure, pull the trigger, with the gun pointed away from the part because the initial puff of air can blow paint off of the part in front of the nozzle. Obviously you can be careful and avoid it, but it can lead to inconsistencies. Lastly, be careful with how close the nozzle comes to the part as the electric field can also literally repel paint off the part. A tip for getting paint into tight corners is to turn down the voltage as a faraday cage effect will actually repel paint in inside corners or dished spaces. Varying the pressure to try to float it into the tight area can help. Parts looking good overall! Honda looks awesome.
Tommy and the guys are killing it, the builds are well planned and thought out, Josh's confidence and ability to just turn to anything is amazing, such an awesome give away.
For the coilover assembly, usually the threaded sleeve sits directly on the shock and there is no need for the spring plate. There is a notch on the ID of the sleeve to sit on the snap ring of the shock. This is how I have seen pretty much every Ground Control setups. Maybe for those years it is different ?!
Have always loved how easy Hondas are to work on, can definitely tell they were built with some foresight into ease of servicing and upgrading. Also love how there's almost always a stock Honda/Acura upgrade for just about anything. i.e. How Acura TSX calipers/rotors are a bolt on big brake upgrade for an 8th gen civic SI.
Were they any good? Neuspeed mostly focused on VW back then.. Always wondered if their Honda line was good. Honda and VW owners back then didn't mix well. Every golf or Jetta had a Neuspeed banner on windshield it seemed.
@@petequinones3454 tbh, it was so long ago that I don't really remember lol. I mean damn, I'm almost 42 now lol. That was when I was like 18-19. I do remember them being pretty stiff so it was hella bouncy. Also didn't bother upgrading the struts so you could only imagine how bad the ride quality was. But to me, back then at that age, it was DOPE! Lol. Also, IIRC, those Neuspeeds offered the most aggressive stance compared to what everyone else was commonly using back then ie., Eibach. I think the Neuspeeds offered a 2.25" drop so outside of cutting your springs, this was the route to go at the time for the lowest possible drop. And yeah, you're absolutely right about Neuspeed being a mostly German aftermarket suspension company. But they did make Honda/Acura stuff.
You guys are running a tight operation there man. Having everything in house and a solid team of guys is game changing. I love the cinematography with no music. It's a pleasure to watch . Well done Tom 👏
Respect the attention to detail. As a Honda guy since '99 I still have love for the Koni yellow/GC setup. That used to be THE hotness, and will still zip around the track with the right spring rates.
i have the koni and ground control setup on my 01 GSR, love them. great product. ive been watching this channel since the beginning, the honda stuff gets me hyped.
Had a 97 BB6 Lude with Koni's and Ground Control coil overs, I got rid of tein basics for that setup and was so glad i did because for the money you couldnt beat the ride quality and adjustability 👍🏻
Everyday I look forward to getting home from work, Opening a nice cold beverage and watching the TommyFyeah 1 Stop OEM PLUS Restoration shop BTW, Loving the ASMR.🔥👍
Get josh a Milwaukee electric ratchet lmaoo. Also josh has got to be the sickest mechanic and all around best shop guy I’ve seen on TH-cam. Dude is extremely talented.
Yo, it's seriously badass to see progression on your channel, all the way from the dimly lit chop shop, dusty dirty floors all the way to now, a professional shop, professional tools, congrats and good job on all the hard work. Also seems like a good group of people to have around. Love the content Tom!
one of the few guys i would actually trust w giveaways. not just some slapped together junk it’s all done right! keep up the sick work boys! josh is a keeper
The filmer is doing a great job and thank god hes not putting bass boosted music in the glamour shots like a certain somebody in the shop, literally have to mute it because of how abrupt it is. Also when you get a Gen 2 NSX are you thinking of going for a Type-S?
You don't use the silver spring perches on the ground controls, they have a lip to sit on the retaining clip. The silver perches are for mounting a normal spring the same size as stock.
Yo Josh id highly suggest getting one of the dewalt DCF680N2 8V gyroscopic screwdriver. it has a 1/4 inch chuck in it and I use an adapter to take sockets and its great because the clutch will slip just after snug and wont rip out of your hands its saved me so much wrist pain man
For the black powder for the coating, try 10/5% more gloss in ral 9005 for oem automotive look....it looks good maybe its camera but looked a bit dull? that's what I do in uk anyway and named it batman black mix now all the lads call it that
Tom! Love the nature sounds!! Love watching this build! So simple, and perfect! Thanks for helping Chris! I personally appreciate your guy's friendship!!
So sick! I love all the work being done at the shop. If I had the money I would love to have a car restored at the FYEAH shop!!! Keep up with the sick builds!!
When it comes to B series or Hondas in general wrinkle black or red always looks good. I've done gloss red on B16a, but doesn't have same vibe as factory, it's a little too extra.
Tommy need to add some oem type r part to the motor type r cams intake manifold and throttle body and type r header b16a from em1 don't make that much power like 130-140 at most
Damn, it is crazy to see what youre doing now! This shop was a huge move and to see you turn it into a Skyline restoration shop is pretty damn cool. Great work!
I live for this content. So fucking sick seeing how far you’ve come since the Kent shop. I remember when you first appeared on rudnicks channel with all the sick cars in the chop shop
Brent has to be the pinnacle of "Good Energy" along with one of the top 3 Honda tuners of all time. Tony Palo (T1 Race Development), the now famous builder and tuner of R35's was previously a Honda Guru in every name of the since. GTR's are the new Hondas of this current generation.
Brent is the man for hondas. He's literally the honda guru. I remember him having a drive in the k miata.
you could've stopped at "Brent is the man" and still been right lol
yeah!! i remember the kmiata
I'm a v8 guy have been all my life.. but I watched the come up of pfi and went out and got myself an FD2 K20 civic.. awesome little car.. 😎
Fuck yeah he is.
Said it once I'll say it again...
Tom your very lucky to have a true pro like JOSH on your team...
The guy is a real class act...!!
Seriously, he is so calm and seems like the kindest and most humble guy. A guy I'd hang out with.

🔥🔥. Can’t wait
tommy out here running a whole damn business and still got the daily uploads. meanwhile we cant get stonebag rodknock to keep the videos coming
"daily"
Tommy posts every other day
I tune into Tommy's channel for the good car content and craftsmanship, I tune into Rudnicks to see how NOT to work on cars.😁
To be fair Rodknock's videos have been way longer than his averages in the past..

I'm sure there's some reason why Tommy's guy did it the way he did. I mean, Tommy chose the guy to work at his shop so the dude has gotta be legit.
Is it a possibility using foil that the paint could drip?

I love how Tommy makes a point to say EVERYBODY else’s name except for the “filmier”

His name is Phil Murr

No... BB6 gets the chicks 👍🏻... And i dont want to see a reply that says BB6 gets all the dicks!! Even though thats true as well 🤬

Love to see you work with PFI speed, I’m from Colorado so I been watching them for a while now.
You can see how excited Josh building this. Love Hondas.
The harness IS removable. The bottom of the fuse box unclips and theres a few connectors under there, and then everything slides through the firewall.

Watching that paint go on is so gratifying
You need to start using Brent for everything tuning!!!! He is a freakin wizard!!! Love ya Brent, keep up the good fight man!
I had some Neuspeed springs in ‘98 on my ‘94 Integra. And then moved to Ground Controls in like ‘99ish.
Were they any good? Neuspeed mostly focused on VW back then.. Always wondered if their Honda line was good. Honda and VW owners back then didn't mix well. Every golf or Jetta had a Neuspeed banner on windshield it seemed.

Tommys builds are undefeated on TH-cam, hands down my favorite car channel
omg. . them calipers!!!!!! . . looks amazing. i never thought i could get that excited from just a stock set of calipers. . great job
peace, Eturn
My b16 runs 172 with stock rad and honda blue..bolt ons and a REAL tune made 181whp on 93..been that way for 3 years now runs like a top
Hey Josh, the ground control sleeves fit directly over the circlip on the Konis. No need to retain the spring cup. ;)
Diameter says otherwise. I wish though ✊🏻
Smart move getting Brent involved he’s so good with Honda’s plus getting the TH-cam content together is good for the channel
Brent tuning the SI is epic
Using koni shocks and h&r springs on my ek and there pretty good for normal use and very capable on track
i have the koni and ground control setup on my 01 GSR, love them. great product. ive been watching this channel since the beginning, the honda stuff gets me hyped.
The shop noise for the b roll is waaayyyy better than cheesy royalty free music. Those shots were great. The Filmer has that on lock
GC's and Koni yellows were always the move. I went Illuminas back in the day, but yellows were definitely higher end. Had my '95 GSR from 03-05.
Had a 97 BB6 Lude with Koni's and Ground Control coil overs, I got rid of tein basics for that setup and was so glad i did because for the money you couldnt beat the ride quality and adjustability 👍🏻

I admire Josh's hand built approach to reassembly! True Craftsmanship! Loving the work updates!
This team is SICK. I love watching these resto videos. Keep these boys happy and paid, Tommy. Hard to find good help these days.
YES! I loved the koni yellows and ground controls on my eg when I had it. Turned those corners like a champ!
Dude so stoked for Brent to tune the Honda, he is an absolute Honda legend. No better choice out there.
Super stoked too see Brent tune this car he’s a super great dude and a OG Honda boy
Koni yellows with ground control coils is the og honda tech days setup! Perfect choice👍
Koni's are cool but I'm a sucker for old school Tein's with the EDFC Controller, or Tokico blues with Eibachs or Ground control springs.
I’m glad y’all keep on doing the glamour/asmr style shots!
Get josh a Milwaukee electric ratchet lmaoo. Also josh has got to be the sickest mechanic and all around best shop guy I’ve seen on TH-cam. Dude is extremely talented.
I really enjoy those body work clips really shows how much works going into it, entire bay hand sanded
Josh rocking the electrical tape band aid on his knuckle... been there buddy.
Watching Tommy's painter spray that hood was so damn satisfying.
Same day Zinc, you know you move product when you get that service.
That powder coating is going to save so much time and looks great.
I would definitely be interested in these guys restoring an rd1 shell for me. Worth every penny 🔥
That koni and ground control set up is bring back the memories lol had that same setup on my EG loved it

I found red scotchbrite works best for engine bays/insides of doors or trunks
I like the green, little less abrasive with finer scratches when cutting down paint. Red makes quick work though..

Not gonna lie, thought it was weird when you said you hired a filmer, but really loving the shots he does.
I remember my 91 Integra I built in 2003 by junior high school I had reactive coilovers in it I thought they were the sickest suspension ever
Hype for Brent such a good dude!!
Ben did a sick job with the powdercoating
Slideshow Tom killin the honda game🔥
These are the builds I dream of lol painting under the hood was so satisfying that’s something everyone overlooks

Love painting clips
Never forget 10 things I love about my Roadster😂

@@petequinones3454 oh I get it, I just meant the red color in general tho. That would pop the engine bay for sure

Tommy need to add some oem type r part to the motor type r cams intake manifold and throttle body and type r header b16a from em1 don't make that much power like 130-140 at most
only difference in the type r is the rear control arms are different so the bottom of the shock mounts different.
Just so you know that fuse box unplugs from the bottom and you pull it through the firewall
Love the Honda content only thing missing from this OEM plus build would be Type R cams.
josh and bengina are so damn talented!
If u use a crv 97-01 bracket and compressor for the ec u can keep the stock a/c lines
