What’s the furthest Fitment Industries would ship the coilovers to the winner as for someone like me, I’d want to know if you would ship to the UK before I entered or attempted to enter?
Not replacing my door bushings and pins before I put my kit on. Fix stuff on your car before you mod it, Including wheel bearings or other maintenance it may need
Jack Blaisdell so does Chrisfix shift for you? Does it make your car automatic if it's a manual but you're not doing the shifting? P.s. I know the OP means manual not manual. Keep it moving dimwit.

Rookie mistake: not ordering my BC racing coilovers on fitment industries and doing it through Amazon. Outcome: coilovers are meant for a w207 when I own a w212 and now I’m in the process of return Said Coilovers
My mistake was installing an exhaust and tightening each screw down all the way as I went rather than tightening everything to finger tight first, arranging everything, then tightening everything a little at a time. My exhaust was so crooked and rattled against the car as I drove. Eventually I had to go back and loosen everything, align it all, then tighten down again.
I tried tinting my tail lights with a friend during night time without heat gun. It was going horribly, but my friend insisted on trying to tint them, and I kept saying no. Being a guy with bad temper, after my friend pissed me off, I punched the tail light and smashed it. He didn't speak with me for a week.
"who needs an instruction manual to install coilovers its just three bolts" say that to an e30 owner who has to cut off the strut assembly and weld the coilovers on
When i first put my wheels on, I didn’t tighten the lug nuts at the proper spec. Car was wobbling up front two miles into driving. Luckily was able to fix the issue right away. Phew
My rookie mistake: I used to work at a shop and decided to upgrade my sway bars. The rear one went on without a problem. The front one however...... I dropped the subframe as it needed to come out that way and sure enough it did. I put the new sway bar in, aligned the subframe back into place or I thought I did, and like an rookie with confidence I decided to get my impact and gun it down without starting the bolt by hand(that’s where I found out I had fucked up). Come to find out it’s apparently not easy to find a tap and die set that was big enough for the bolt. I tried 2 autozones, 1 pep boys, and 2 harbor freight. The second and last harbor freight I went to had the thread pitch I needed for the bolt. Unfortunately by the time I got back to the shop it was 10 at night and was too tired and pissed at what happened. It was 4 days later that I actually got to get the car back on the lift to work on it and get it right. Mind you I lived 60 miles away which was my commute to work. It sucked but I learned my lesson to never rush something simple.
i recently found this channel and absolutely love it, i just bought a 2014 Jetta TDI that i want to get some wheels and possibly air suspension for in the future, I'd love to support you guys when i get this car loan paid off!
Hey!! Thank you for the support glad to hear you enjoy our channel! Shoot us an email anytime shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you get some options for wheels and suspension kits for your Jetta brother! 🙏🏼
@@LastCallSRT 2.2 ecotec is a very common motor swap don't sleep on a cobalt. Tho that challenger in your picture makes me think you buy your cars with power🤷 if you come to a track with me not a drag strip but a actual autocross track I'll show you how fast a 100 hp car can go you'll shit a brick watching me gap you in corners straights are for little boys that have no driving skills
Rookie mistake #1745, thinking that all bolts are the same strength. Someone used mild steel bolts on suspension arm. 😱 Lukily I saw it before it broke and someone possibly die. I replaced with high tensile.
Dude Alex your actually funny man I'm always laughing watching you I just got a mk2 golf back on the road after it not getting driven for 5 years It needed allot Coilovers and all new brake lines pil and coolant battery Pads calipers drums shoes But I did it all myself And when you said 8 hours by the book means 3 weeks 7 people and 16 trips to advance auto you were right 😂
For my first track day I over torqued the front lugs on my 97 Jetta. I was new to using a digital torque wrench. When they did the tech inspection 2 bolts broke. They were cross threaded and required a new hub before I could go on track. Lucky for me some of the guys in my SCCA reigon had the spares I needed and got me on track. I had to do the work but they supervised and checked everything I did.
Well none of those should be your first mod. Unless it's necessary. On a newer car none of that is an issue, because they have technology these days in the suspension that is better than most after market products. The wheels are completely your choice. Alot of newer stock wheels actually look good. Suspension should not be a thought at all until your current suspension decides to shit the bed, because if you aren't replacing a worn out suspension, you're wasting money. Tires should be your first upgrade only if the stock tires are garbage. Cosmetics should not be your first mod, it should be an after thought, once everything else is done. If you buy an older car, do whatever you want, there's no order to it. But if it's a new car, leave it how it is, and invest in worthwhile upgrades like horsepower. Because no one gives a shit about your car that can't move.
Time dedication... Yuuuuuuuuuuuuup. Installing coilovers... Nah they'll just pop right in. Buuuuuuuuuuut the stock strut was wedged so tightly into the fork I was like I'll never get this off ever. Went through thinking I was gonna have to get the car dragged onto a tow truck to get it cause the stock strut wasn't coming off or going back into its place. Ended up forcing it up with a big bolt on a neighbor's car jack. Ofc the aftermarket one DID just pop right in but god. Installing the front coilovers... The driver's side sway bar end link was so badly rust welded on, and the bolt was a stupid hex bolt over nut thing, both were rust-stripped... had to order new sway bar end links, wait for shipping, then angle grind the stock end link off the sway bar. Fun times. Aftermarket exhaust install... bolts that hold half the exhaust on both snapped coming off, ended up jury rigging it with two different bolts and a metal plate with a hole drilled in it as a washer because I couldn't find a second one... Two years and they still haven't fallen off the car. Someday I'll either get good stainless ones and preemptively put them on, or I'll be going 65 on the freeway and my exhaust will fall off the car. Either or. Wiring is one thing I can't stress enough about taking your time on. I live in Canada, where it can rain, snow, hail, and be sunny all in the same day. If you do what I did for my aftermarket side markers, and just electrical tape the wires and go "eh good enough" eventually you'll notice one light not working, or you'll pop a fuse, and have to rip your bumper off to redo it the right way later. Solder that shit, then heat shrink it. Then heat shrink it again, then tape it, then zip tie it. Now you're done. Yes, having to redo that at -30C because you were a lazy shit sucks.
So I have a 2015 Dodge Dart and I want to make it look similar to the white wide body one in your gallery but I don’t know where to start with mods and other upgrades to the engine
First time I changed out a bumper cover a long time ago... reused the plastic clips. Had to buy a new bumper cover, and fog lights, and wires. Cause it fell off and drug along the road... Lesson learned, never reuse non-reusable plastic clips.
The exhaust I got for my Subaru cost me only $80, sounds amazing and didn’t noticeably effect the performance. I took it to an exhaust shop, asked them to cut off the exhaust after the cat (I had a leaking y-pipe) and replace it with OE size piping without mufflers. It basically gets you the iconic Subaru exhaust sound (EJ255)
I installed my tein lowering springs and the passenger rear side is about 3/8 lower then the other, any idea why? I re check the set up and it all looks good.
Not researching installation of coil overs on my Audi a4 1.8t quattro b6 ....lmfao yeah that turned into a f**king nightmare and never got them to perform properly whoops....lol.
What do you think of a honda Crx as a first car? I want to modify it at least a little bit but Im not familiar with d series engines ( I think that’s the engine in it). I’m only 17 so excuse my lack of knowledge, but great vid!
i been working on cars since 1968 and iam a service tec at a car lot and i uesley do not agree on what you say but you are right on this but even the best make mistakes but you are not right picking on people you call ricers its there car and they have the right too do with there cars what they want
I haven't really worked on cars enough to have a mistake. I did have one on my BMX once, decided it was a good idea to see what would happen if I tried to catch up to race bikes and rear brake skid round corners on a long hill... Turns out that bike wasn't made for speed nor hard crashes.
As my last post, the need for back pressure on a turbocharged car is a myth. No back pressure is best, which why you see cars with hood/front clip exhausts (not suggesting that either is a good idea). I do not know what charged intake levels mean. The car needs a tune, because there's a chance the motor may be running a bit lean after installing the mods. And please don't use ring clamps with forced induction; buy T-bolt clamps and do it right. That's all I have time for. Best of luck to everyone. Wish the channel success.
My rookie mistake was with my oil cooler installation. Took me 5 days to get installed and not leaking. Those damn sensor plugs sucked. Ended up using Toyota black gasket sealer. After the TH-cam video I thought it would take an afternoon lol.
Changed transmission fluid and filter in a customers 2008 Nissan Altima. Filters looked the same and lined up perfect. Car was ready to go, put into drive, and wouldn't move in any gear. Turns out the filter spout was too long hitting the bottom of the transmission pan. Costed me 6 quarts of transmission fluid and hours of unpaid diagnosis. The filter bought was for the correct vehicle being the filter recommended by AutoZone and O'Reilly's. You can bet the old filter was slapped back on.
Got hooked on your videos as soon as infoumd them of you are still giving away any shirts I would love to try and get one I support you giys and get all my friends to watch
I have an audi a4 wagon with the 1.8t, my turbo used to blow off when I let off my gas, its bone stock I havent touched the motor or anything yet but yesterday it started to flutter when I let off the gas, any clues as to why
Never made rookie mistakes on my own car. But my friends cars, oh yeah, fun times. But that's what they get for asking for help, and then having me do most of it. I had never done an exhaust before, so it really just came down to not knowing what i was doing. After about 20 minutes i figured everything out and installed the cat-back in about an hour. Just kind of figure it out as you go. Turbo and intercooler piping, or electronic stuff i don't fuck with. There were a few times my window stopped working because it got frozen to the top of the door, and when i went to roll it down, it ended up coming unglued. So i ripped the door panel off, not knowing how to do it, and eventually got it off without breaking anything. That was a 2hr process. After that i had to do it about 3-4 more times because the glue wasn't holding, but after that only took a few minutes to unistall, and reinstall. Now i'm the community car window fixer, i've done it on 4 different people's cars. Window doesn't work, ask matt. Save you bullshit mechanics fee's for 7 minutes of work.
Buddy of mine didn't check the wheels when putting on the lugs. First one gouged into the side of the hole and the rest followed suit. Didn't realize it until I saw it a week later. Had to replace the studs, lugs, and the rim.
Of your led turn signal is is flashing faster then the others it means the resistance is off. Look for led turn signals that are canbus or have resistors built in and compatible with your car.
Now, what if youre working with a 2j or a b16 that can handle low boost without internal mods. Do you still need to do foundation mods? Cause weve all seen the "reliable" 15 psi b16s and 2js lol.
Self install of id1050x injectors and made mistake of thinking all the 12mm bolts were the same, they are not. Thankfully I only took off the crash plates and didnt pull the whole manifold to do it.
Changing out my cam phasers I dropped the timing chain throwing my truck out of timing so I had to take half the motor apart but I ended up replacing a lot of other stuff so it all worked out
There’s a lot of conflicting info on the internet about exhaust back pressure, the only time I can see that being valid is on a turbo application. Most likely you’ll get zero HP gains and a little more noise, you definitely do not need a tune to throw a catback on your car

Nice Tips would like to see more of those Videos.
pls make a video about camber kits, do I need camber kits after slamming my car?
Great intro guys!
Changed transmission fluid and filter in a customers 2008 Nissan Altima. Filters looked the same and lined up perfect. Car was ready to go, put into drive, and wouldn't move in any gear. Turns out the filter spout was too long hitting the bottom of the transmission pan. Costed me 6 quarts of transmission fluid and hours of unpaid diagnosis. The filter bought was for the correct vehicle being the filter recommended by AutoZone and O'Reilly's. You can bet the old filter was slapped back on.
World wide fund for animals? Ya mean world wildlife fund

Nope, it's World Wide Fund for nature.
Got hooked on your videos as soon as infoumd them of you are still giving away any shirts I would love to try and get one I support you giys and get all my friends to watch
I have an audi a4 wagon with the 1.8t, my turbo used to blow off when I let off my gas, its bone stock I havent touched the motor or anything yet but yesterday it started to flutter when I let off the gas, any clues as to why
Holy mother of god that intro... I had to watch it twice, it's rad
Thank you! 😂
Never made rookie mistakes on my own car. But my friends cars, oh yeah, fun times. But that's what they get for asking for help, and then having me do most of it. I had never done an exhaust before, so it really just came down to not knowing what i was doing. After about 20 minutes i figured everything out and installed the cat-back in about an hour. Just kind of figure it out as you go. Turbo and intercooler piping, or electronic stuff i don't fuck with.
There were a few times my window stopped working because it got frozen to the top of the door, and when i went to roll it down, it ended up coming unglued. So i ripped the door panel off, not knowing how to do it, and eventually got it off without breaking anything. That was a 2hr process. After that i had to do it about 3-4 more times because the glue wasn't holding, but after that only took a few minutes to unistall, and reinstall. Now i'm the community car window fixer, i've done it on 4 different people's cars. Window doesn't work, ask matt. Save you bullshit mechanics fee's for 7 minutes of work.
bought some 18 inch momo wheels for my accord but couldn't fit them with the tires that were too wide and sold them for a loss
Got a flat tire on my Enkei GW8s and only had the special lugs that... didn’t fit my stock spare... and it was raining.
My rookie mistake:
Stripped my bolts when installing my spacers and my wheel came off while driving on the freeway. Never messing with that again.
Sorry guys I was at school preppin for something couldn’t watch but now I can
Rookie Mistake #1 - getting into Mods.
I make coolant volcanos for fun Lol
Buddy of mine didn't check the wheels when putting on the lugs. First one gouged into the side of the hole and the rest followed suit. Didn't realize it until I saw it a week later. Had to replace the studs, lugs, and the rim.
These intro are top notch
These videos are far more entertaining when Alex is properly caffeinated.
The Matrix style *FI* intro is dope! 🔥
I hope someone sees this and can answer. But what wheels were on that white w204 class?? Need to know!!😱😍
If u are able to change tires then how do u put them on the wromg way 😅
Of your led turn signal is is flashing faster then the others it means the resistance is off. Look for led turn signals that are canbus or have resistors built in and compatible with your car.
Now, what if youre working with a 2j or a b16 that can handle low boost without internal mods. Do you still need to do foundation mods? Cause weve all seen the "reliable" 15 psi b16s and 2js lol.
That intro is L O U D .
Literally this video is what I needed for my FA-20 BRZ 😂
Self install of id1050x injectors and made mistake of thinking all the 12mm bolts were the same, they are not. Thankfully I only took off the crash plates and didnt pull the whole manifold to do it.
You definitely will make mistakes. It's always wise to double-check it take your time.
Changing out my cam phasers I dropped the timing chain throwing my truck out of timing so I had to take half the motor apart but I ended up replacing a lot of other stuff so it all worked out
That intro is crazy awesome!!!
There’s a lot of conflicting info on the internet about exhaust back pressure, the only time I can see that being valid is on a turbo application. Most likely you’ll get zero HP gains and a little more noise, you definitely do not need a tune to throw a catback on your car
Oil pans arent good jack points. Especially on vws
Haven't even watched and I already gave it a like.
❤️
Smooth transition my dude
I’m a simple guy ok...and that accord...is the cleanest one I have EVER seen. That goes for any Accord. That would be an awesome daily
