  • This time, we fab up a high flowing DIY turbo-back exhaust system and then take the Fig for a drive to enjoy our hard work!

    Thank you for another great series and build. I would like to say on behalf of all us viewers that we really appreciate the time and effort you put in. Also one last thing. I still can't get over how clean your garage is and how neat and tidy all of your work is.

    What a unique car. I always look forward to your videos. I really enjoy your organized yet straight forward approach to everything. Your craftsmanship is also amazing. Ontop of all that, this video made me chuckle with your light hearted and innocent jokes. Don't listen to what people say about what you do to your cars, because they are your cars. Keep it up Tom!

  • @crunchynutcornflakes

    I wish people would understand that a car being fast is what makes it fun. I have a fast car now but shit I've had fun in 130 hp cars with the right setup. Just learn to enjoy what you have people. Love the video, the car, and your stance on this. Cheers.

    This episode was like that Breaking Bad episode, The Fly, in which Walter spends the entire time chasing a fly around his lab, showing the audience his slowly decreasing mental state. Too many car projects may have made you crazy, Tom.

    Great job on the subtle mods Tom. I applaud your decision to keep things subtle and reversible and glad to hear that you're enjoying the car. Thanks for making such an entertaining series and boy, do you make it all look easy.
    Can't wait to see what you tackle next.

  • @kwwinfield
    @kwwinfield 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Tom, super cool car and an awesome build. This is one of my favorite series that you've done I think just because of how unique and interesting the car is. The quality of your work inspires me to do better work in my own garage and I hope you keep it up. Thank you for sharing.

    @ozman1975 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Tom, I love the approach your taking modifying the Figaro. Subtle with a good moderate level of performance. Your not taking away from the character of the car which is impressive to me. Get "Figgy" with it and keep those video's coming!

    Another great video Tom. I always enjoy your sense of humor and the updates that you bring to your audience. Keep up the great work. If you find yourself itching for another project, I suggest one of those old Datsun Z cars. I love them and I think many others would enjoy seeing what you can do with one of those beautiful machines.

    A car's value only ever matters if you're planning on selling it on.. (nowadays people tends to strip than sell whole) when I've modified my cars, it's always been reversible but I don't let the value of my car affect my desire to make the car better. Personally Tom I believe you've done some awesome work, would of loved to see that bug bite a little harder.. it'll be a quality sleeper project.

    Excellent video, am rebuilding my wife fig and am sure you will know everything is expensive on these cars over here in Yorkshire England. Am talking strip down I did this but paint shop took bits of and made a mess ! Hello where do these go 😮 I can work on any car to a certain degree but working on a fig is a nightmare. Every plastic click is up to £7 each. Wish I had a mate with a 3D printer. We hate paying in Yorkshire . Exhaust should not take value I've seen loads changing / personalizing their Figs . All I can say is your lucky no salt on the roads . Thanks for modifications I will be going down that path .

  • @jimspeed1388
    @jimspeed1388 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm in the UK and it never occurred to me that it was right hand drive until you mentioned it. There's quite a few Figaro's imported to Britain but the roads are salted in UK winters so unless there looked after they corrode away.

  • @jrmason
    @jrmason 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! Love the bird distractions. We live next to a regional airport so, that's my distraction and annoyance. Geez the exhaust tips were the same rolled edge that my '87 Maxima had. Neat little car! Here's to a great New Year!
