Once again Matt thanks so much for the opportunity! Glad you enjoyed it so much! :D ...and for everyone wondering.. Ive never driven the car that hard so I was pretty blown away lol
Andrew Quartararo ive never seen that corner so slick. It was like ice. I originally blamed the tires, but in hindsight, that corner was just like driving on ice.
+William Chemini I have had the same experience before, not in my car but riding with someone who has an IDENTICAL car to mine at an autocross, but he is a MUCH better driver than me and it scared the crap out of me!
+Harrison Davis That's what happened for me at an Autocross event. I rode along with a guy in a Focus ST just like mine. I was blown away at what these cars can do at a track.
QuavyGames yeaa i can totally relate to that. When i go all out in the drivers seat i dont feel scared at all. But when i switch to the passengers seat and my friend gets behind the wheel i crapped my pants. Totally different experienced being the driver and passenger.
This series, of one take's, is the best idea TST has had in a while. Its more fun to see an average Joe take a car most of us can afford and build it up. Keep these kinda of cars the main focus and save the lambo/GTr's for something different.
Darren G. most of the "big budget" films are going to be for drive. Not all, but most. I like this plan for videos; everyone seems to find it more relateable and they are cheaper and easier for me to make. Win/Win
Tj was a good sport but his channel is all fluff and over the top I can't stand it. Like 'i made the loudest brz ever!' or cleavage thumbnails of the girlfriend ... Clickbait and drama are for a certain type of person. This series was awesome until he decided to move on; new personality doesn't work the same but maybe I like not getting those watch prerolls now :p I suppose after 3 years he needed to move on, but it was brilliant and relatable.
haha right! should have warmed up those tires prior and it seems like his suspension setup isn't tuned. judging by the video, the rear is too hard and maybe could use a corner balance. the passenger kind of killed the vibe with how terrified he looked. i understand that's his car and he had a complete stranger driving and downshifting into second a bunch haha. thats what he signed up for tho. other than that great video. you may have to leave tj at the top next go!
I thought i'd come and watch this again since he hit one million. This is what brought me to TJ's channel at like 1000 subs or something. Been a journey.
It's probably more because when he drives it he doesn't notice everything as much because when you're driving you don't feel the forces on your body as much as when you're a passenger
Nayr Nitsua Ummm duh... Where do you dumb people come from? I swear. Also going fast in a straight line has the same skill level as a kid learning to ride a bicycle.
Driving in a straight line takes little/no skill. Knowing when to shift and knowing you gear ratios on those windy roads makes you a better driver. Also, move out of California..... 94 octane available everywhere else. That car requires 93 or higher. Stupid millenials.
Ahh good times. I really cannot believe I was so excited I thought tj was starting to get big. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years I’ve been watching him
Here before TJ hits 1mil subscribers! It’s been a long journey bro. Awe inspiring and absolutely proud from how far you’ve come. Had to take it back before Miley’s epic transformation. #TjHuntArmy
I know this guys feeling, It is one thing to drive your own car to the limits, it is another thing actually being able to experience it without having to be busy thinking on the driving too much.
Owner's reaction from launch through the first minute is PRICELESS!! You can tell he's never driven his own car as hard as Matt is lol. The BRZ seems like a fun car to build. I love it. This is one of my favorite One Takes so far.
This is forsure one of my favorite One-Takes. The driver is having such a good time (and who can blame him) and his car is tastefully (awesomely) modded.
Matt I want you to drive my Forester XT sometime early next year to get your opinion. have full suspension, exhaust, STi turbo and a protune by Church. Right now I'm waiting for an STi steering rack and steel brake lines. I'm at the snake all the time so it's just a matter of catching you.
TheSmokingTire Ooh sweet. Can't wait to see it. I'm curious as to who it is since I pretty much know most of the LA Forester peeps. I have the gold 04 XT you may have seen. Jshaw6000 on IG.
TheSmokingTire I'm looking forward to that. Old gen or newer body? As much as I'd like to see someone really go nuts with a new gen chassis, I don't know if anybody's really do so. Here's to hoping. Regardless, it'll be interesting to see how it handles. The stock geometry as well as the 6-speed diff and power delivery makes for some handling challenges, and I'm always curious how people go about solving them. I've been high and firm, low and firm, with the 5-speed, and with the 6-speed and been through a pile of suspension configurations over the years. Sometimes the car drives intuitive and beautifully. Then you change a fundamental characteristic and everything ends up completely different and both the setup and driving approach can vastly change. Since it's a track used car, it'll likely be pretty well sorted.
jshaw6600 Good plans. Our cars are always a work in progress. Small notes on plans: 1000cc injectors are too small for E85 and a 20G. Go top feed and 1300cc or up fuel pressure a good bit to make the 1000ccs work (need a fuel pump with retained high pressure flow levels too, DW300 might squeak you by, but a Walbro 460 will give you headroom. A DW300 will still work with the stock fuel pressure controller though. 2004 STI Brembo brakes are a worthwhile upgrade, bye bye almost all the pad knockback, not to mention good wheel fill. You will also need an upgraded clutch from the oem STI one. It'll start slipping in the low 20psi range for the torque you'll produce on E85. How you liking the projectors? That's an upgrade I've been contemplating as a new year plan.
crazy looking back at this video and how Matt recommends we check out TJ's channel and now look at how many subs TJ has. his channel has really blown up
Some new rubber, a tune, and some E85, and these things aren't slow garbage anymore!... Shame about that interior though. I really wanted one of these until I sat in one.
Glad you finally are getting the recognition you deserve. You are among my favorite youtubers along with Matt from subaruwrxfan, Matt farrah(the smoking tire) and Carlos from motortrend.
Oh my god this was absolutely HILARIOUS!!! hahaha.... Looks like TJ has never taken this thing even close to its limits.. He looked so happy and nervous at the beginning
The 86 is an awesome handling car, with coils + wider wheels it's like a go kart. Only thing I didn't like about the video was the impression I got that the kid thinks it's a "fast" car. It most certainly isn't fast at all, but it is very fun.
These random car drives are hella cool....now drive a bucket matt....wanna see u do the snake in the worst car u can find for a laugh....would be golden
Ehh, Matt can really wheel. Seemed like the kid hasn't pushed the car all that hard, but even if he had I'm sure Matt can really keep the momentum up through the corners where an amateur really couldn't.
It's a lot different when someone else is driving and you are the passengers. The passenger doesn't know what is going on in the drivers head, he doesn't know when Matt is going to brake or accelerate.
Love that you're scaring the shit out of this guy. Not because I wish him or his car ill, it's just cool that you're pushing it and he's seeing his car do things he hasn't done :)
It was great to see matt put a smile on the face of the cars' owner, especially on that first long right hander. Understeer on cold tires and road was abit scary though!
WTF "Nitto Invos...the stickiest ones I could find." WTF "These tires when they're warm....... What rock did this dude crawl under from, thinks all-season Invos are the grippiest tires? Try NT01 or NT05 if you are a Nitto fan.
I love the owners facial expressions throughout the video lmao. Good job Matt! You showed him the car can be faster and have given him something to chase after lol. The best part is, you're casually driving and talking and not REALLY pushing because of tires and wet roads lol.
TJ WAS BYFAR the funniest and most entertaining passenger on here to review his own car lmao that was so funny when he launched it. He looked so surprised.
Once again Matt thanks so much for the opportunity! Glad you enjoyed it so much! :D
...and for everyone wondering.. Ive never driven the car that hard so I was pretty blown away lol
Sick car you have dude! Goodluck with the future mods, have fun and drive safe.
Your reactions had me rolling! Nice ride man!
Ur that kid that went to dn
Your reactions what made it so enjoyable. Modifying your car, but never getting to fully drive it yet. Nice car!
Enjoy the car man but be responsible with your actions and maintenance. Don't be afraid to get on it
Loving the One Takes 1x
RegularCars one of us... One Of Us... ONE OF US... ONE OF US!
This guy is like holy shit my car has never been driven this hard before! lol
Especially on the launch and first few corners haha
Yeah, Matt was RIPPING through the first couple corners haha.
Closest I've ever seen Matt come to crashing in a while, if ever.
Andrew Quartararo ive never seen that corner so slick. It was like ice. I originally blamed the tires, but in hindsight, that corner was just like driving on ice.
To be fair being in a passenger seat feels different then being behind the wheel.
tj was suprised by his own car
+William Chemini i caught that also lmao.
+William Chemini It really is a completely new experience riding in the passenger seat.
+William Chemini thats what happens when a professional gets behind thr wheel i guess ol
+William Chemini I have had the same experience before, not in my car but riding with someone who has an IDENTICAL car to mine at an autocross, but he is a MUCH better driver than me and it scared the crap out of me!
+Harrison Davis That's what happened for me at an Autocross event. I rode along with a guy in a Focus ST just like mine. I was blown away at what these cars can do at a track.
TJ's face on the curves is priceless xD
Haha, his face just after the launch and first corner - it was pretty clear he hasn't pushed his car all that much.
+ItsEmber no. He pushes his car on his channel. but have you ever let someone go all out in you car while sitting in the passenger seat?
QuavyGames yeaa i can totally relate to that. When i go all out in the drivers seat i dont feel scared at all. But when i switch to the passengers seat and my friend gets behind the wheel i crapped my pants. Totally different experienced being the driver and passenger.
Max Payne yeah it really is haha

I second this gentlemen's statement. More of this series would be great to see.
totally agree
Average joe no

does launch controll, starts going like a maniac, and TJ is freaking out... love it, lol
and Matt is just soo calm about it
uros kocjancic the car feels a lot faster when you aren't driving it
uros kocjancic the car feels a lot faster when you aren't driving it
I take it TJ never drove his car like this before. Good job, Matt.
Opt haha i see his face
haha right! should have warmed up those tires prior and it seems like his suspension setup isn't tuned. judging by the video, the rear is too hard and maybe could use a corner balance. the passenger kind of killed the vibe with how terrified he looked. i understand that's his car and he had a complete stranger driving and downshifting into second a bunch haha. thats what he signed up for tho. other than that great video. you may have to leave tj at the top next go!
You should try review his car again, he just got his edelbrock supercharger on it
+TheSmokingTire
It's incredible now! He's waiting to get a new clutch before he tunes it for E85 too. :D
do it
+Crozown He is in May!
Dude Matt please don't stop what you're doing. I love seeing other people's builds!!
I thought i'd come and watch this again since he hit one million. This is what brought me to TJ's channel at like 1000 subs or something. Been a journey.
You can tell Matt is way more of a driver than the owner is used to driving like
It's probably more because when he drives it he doesn't notice everything as much because when you're driving you don't feel the forces on your body as much as when you're a passenger
It's a completely different experience when you're not in control
eddiejames511 If you ain't outta control you ain't in control.
Nayr Nitsua wut
Nayr Nitsua do you mean if you ain't in control you're out of control?
Cool video! TJ you're lucky to have Matt drive your car! Love the E85 tune, it really seems to improve it!
E85 your mustang.
you miss the brz at all??
lucky? lol
Knights2theEnd
HONORED!!! TJ was getting scared lol quite a few times (and not just on the wet sections). XD
Fireblaze15 I flip when people even touch my car, honored is the last thing I would say if Matt drove my car
By the looks of the owners face he didn't really know the handling capabilities of his car! Awesome video and concept.
Most people don't. They are kids just wanting to go fast in a straight line.
***** Bought the wrong car for that then.
Nayr Nitsua Ummm duh... Where do you dumb people come from? I swear.
Also going fast in a straight line has the same skill level as a kid learning to ride a bicycle.
***** Relax.
Driving in a straight line takes little/no skill. Knowing when to shift and knowing you gear ratios on those windy roads makes you a better driver. Also, move out of California..... 94 octane available everywhere else. That car requires 93 or higher. Stupid millenials.
His face when turning into the first corner - awesome!^^
Matt, You need to take our Personal BRZ out to the canyons ; )
+jordan doreen "our personal"
+jordan doreen you, you can't read can you?...
Solid honest review. I like the one take format. Makes it super easy on your end and realistic on the consumers end.
I have watched this video so many times and TJ's face still gets me!
kid caught some feelings when you told him a fiesta is better than his brz lmao
*faster not better there's a big difference which alot of people don't seem to get
But fiesta is not a slow car? 2700 lbs with 200 hp and good tq?
Ahh good times. I really cannot believe I was so excited I thought tj was starting to get big. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years I’ve been watching him
Came here from delicious tunings webpage. It’s fun to see TJ’s face while Matt’s just talking the entire time.
I think it's time for an American Touge Battle!
Fiesta ST vs. GT86!!
Fiesta would romp.
SpaceManDawn ST easy win. Unless no rules on mods...
SpaceManDawn the GT86 would struggle to keep up with the fiesta and going up hill the fiesta would disappear
This came up in my recommended 6 years later, it's insane to see how much Miley has changed
Here before TJ hits 1mil subscribers! It’s been a long journey bro. Awe inspiring and absolutely proud from how far you’ve come. Had to take it back before Miley’s epic transformation. #TjHuntArmy
Dude totally looks like a BRZ owner.
I know exactly what you mean
Like a white Bow Wow from Tokyo Drift.
The buthurt on his face when matt said the fiesta was faster lol priceless.
+SI RICKO Faster in a straight line. Also, it's a FWD car so you know...
Lol
Looking at this after like 3 years... TJ, you've come a loooong way my boy!
This series is awesome, Matt! Keep them coming.
I know this guys feeling, It is one thing to drive your own car to the limits, it is another thing actually being able to experience it without having to be busy thinking on the driving too much.
Really love all the new content on the smoking tire. Who needs the drive channel?
I like this idea of using other people's modified cars, looking forward to more of these!
This is the perfect example of a owner being more surprised at the car's performance than the reviewer is.
Owner's reaction from launch through the first minute is PRICELESS!! You can tell he's never driven his own car as hard as Matt is lol. The BRZ seems like a fun car to build. I love it. This is one of my favorite One Takes so far.
Holy fuck! Its crazy where Miley is now. Congrats on 1M teej.
Big downgrade tbh, now it can't handle nearly as well
This is forsure one of my favorite One-Takes. The driver is having such a good time (and who can blame him) and his car is tastefully (awesomely) modded.
Matt I want you to drive my Forester XT sometime early next year to get your opinion. have full suspension, exhaust, STi turbo and a protune by Church. Right now I'm waiting for an STi steering rack and steel brake lines. I'm at the snake all the time so it's just a matter of catching you.
jshaw6600 Someone hit me up with an XTi and I'm gonna do it this weekend. I've also got a crazy track-prepped super fast Forester for drive soon.
TheSmokingTire Ooh sweet. Can't wait to see it. I'm curious as to who it is since I pretty much know most of the LA Forester peeps. I have the gold 04 XT you may have seen. Jshaw6000 on IG.

PeaCe2DaGoD Haha, nice! Here's my build journal: www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f115/turbofoz-jimmy-s-2004-sierra-gold-metallic-forester-xt-410770/
jshaw6600 Good plans. Our cars are always a work in progress.

Matt that rocked. These are super cool, just by looking in the parking lot it looks like a good selection of random neatness. Please keep these up.
Love the reaction when he takes the cornes!
i love this concept of trying out viewers submitted cars! Keep it up matt
Matt "its super wet and theres no grip" speeds up anways
+Jacob Hayden LMAO
crazy looking back at this video and how Matt recommends we check out TJ's channel and now look at how many subs TJ has. his channel has really blown up
Lmao his face throughout the video says it all
Its crazy watching this when TJ was a kid and now he's one of the biggest automotive youtubers and he's making sema builds
I went to TJhunt youtube channel and it has no cars vidoes : ( , maybe a typo in the link ?????
This is a genius idea! So many people would be willing to let you try their cars so they can be featured on the channel, GENIUS!!
Some new rubber, a tune, and some E85, and these things aren't slow garbage anymore!... Shame about that interior though. I really wanted one of these until I sat in one.
Nice to see 2 of my car guys meeting & doing what all us gear heads love to do! Good video fellas & love the brz
Talked to this guy at my local car show! Almost crashed the brz leaving tho 😱
Not even😂
Matt fucking rocketed into that first corner! TJ's reaction was priceless xD
At 8:49 Matt asks about a TRD supercharger? Is there one coming out finally? I know it has been rumored every year since the car came out.
Bryan Balch I thought there was one already, I have a film next week with a Vortech-supercherged BRZ
tj just put a supercharger on his car
I like this series, keep them coming Matt!
That face when some guy launches and drives your car better than you do.
Drives it harder, not necessarily better.
I love how casual Matt is while driving, while the kid is FREAKING OUT
You should do TJ Hunts BRZ again. He's added a lot to it.
yes he should
I second that
I third that
Glad you finally are getting the recognition you deserve. You are among my favorite youtubers along with Matt from subaruwrxfan, Matt farrah(the smoking tire) and Carlos from motortrend.
Can we see an update video for this?
Oh my god this was absolutely HILARIOUS!!! hahaha.... Looks like TJ has never taken this thing even close to its limits.. He looked so happy and nervous at the beginning
Definitely dont think you should be a supercharger kit from those reactions TJ
can't say it often enough, Matt it's maybe the best idea u ever had to drive those viewers cars, love it. Keep it up
It's like seeing Takumi drive Itsuki's 85. :V
I cam here to say this haha it was my first thought
Loved Tj's reaction at the beginning! Great series of vids.
Okay, this is awesome. Matt, fly up to Washington and drive my car?
vXTotalChaosXv no, but if you bring the car to me I'll consider it. Buying plane tickets negates the point of this entire series
vXTotalChaosXv road trip :)
Understood. I'll add it to my bucket list. Clutch upgrade will have come first. Slips in higher gears at full boost.
So you'll be my co-driver then?
Sounds like fun!
The real OGs remember this video.
Dude-bro driving a bro-car. Lol, very original.
I know right
I love these viewer videos you've been doing Matt! I also loved TJ's face in those corners haha
The 86 is an awesome handling car, with coils + wider wheels it's like a go kart. Only thing I didn't like about the video was the impression I got that the kid thinks it's a "fast" car. It most certainly isn't fast at all, but it is very fun.
Most entertaining One Take, simply because of TJ's reactions
These random car drives are hella cool....now drive a bucket matt....wanna see u do the snake in the worst car u can find for a laugh....would be golden
he already did, he drove a peice of crap subaru
sportfuryman Zack's crown vic is coming up.
TheSmokingTire
I'll have you know the Crown Vic is one of the best cars ever made, second only to the Mercury Grand Marquis.
Lol @ Fogell's facial expressions. Seems like just a few tasteful mods have dramatically improved the car. Launch control was nice. Great job!
I feel like it's kind of embarrassing that someone else could make you geek out like that in YOUR car lol
Honald Trinton better that than them running off a cliff or into someone else; see too many overconfident people.
Very cool giving him a shout out! Well done matt
Review his new and improved Brz !!
This style video is just great. Loved the reactions from Tj Hunt! Would love to own a BRZ, thanks for the review!
He's so scared. Typical BRZ owner has never driven his car like it is meant to be. Matt's a beast in those corners.
Ehh, Matt can really wheel. Seemed like the kid hasn't pushed the car all that hard, but even if he had I'm sure Matt can really keep the momentum up through the corners where an amateur really couldn't.
It's a lot different when someone else is driving and you are the passengers. The passenger doesn't know what is going on in the drivers head, he doesn't know when Matt is going to brake or accelerate.
I love this kids energy. He’s really loving his build and you could see it.
You should see what this build ended up like lol
How's the motorcycle guy?
Pas De MD hes OK
Rad video, nice to see you give the kid a plug.
Sensible mods and a great outcome.
Haha! You gave him the ride of his life LOL.
This series is so great Matt. Keep it up!
2:28 full force McLOVIN mode
The look on TJs face going into the first turn was just amazing.
Review it again !
Love that you're scaring the shit out of this guy. Not because I wish him or his car ill, it's just cool that you're pushing it and he's seeing his car do things he hasn't done :)
mclovin was about to die
Fuck I laughed so hard at this comment
I would love to see an update on this video. It's not supercharged with somewhere in the 450+ hp range
Crossing the yellow lines a million times on the snake, and no says anything. Put anyone else less popular and we got a problem
perks of e-fame i gues
thisACOUNTisNEVRused did you take into account your username when you said that?
+ThisAccountIsNeverUsed Spelling error. Wow.
This is what helped Tj alot
ahahaha hes crapping his pants
It was great to see matt put a smile on the face of the cars' owner, especially on that first long right hander. Understeer on cold tires and road was abit scary though!
FYI Tein is pronounced "tain" not "teen".
I've been pronouncing it "tee-in."
kylethestyle
I always say "tine" but I believe "tane" is correct.
I actually think many Japanese say it more like "ten"
TEchnical INnovation.
The green ones. 🙂
I wish all guys had this reaction. If Matt was driving my mustang Eco I'd have the same face haha! Absolutely love this!
Better gas mileage with e85.....not a chance.
When he said his channel I got like, "Wait... I've heard that name before!!" Hahaha awesome to see what's possible to happen in 6 years!!!
WTF "Nitto Invos...the stickiest ones I could find." WTF
"These tires when they're warm.......
What rock did this dude crawl under from, thinks all-season Invos are the grippiest tires?
Try NT01 or NT05 if you are a Nitto fan.
I love the owners facial expressions throughout the video lmao. Good job Matt! You showed him the car can be faster and have given him something to chase after lol. The best part is, you're casually driving and talking and not REALLY pushing because of tires and wet roads lol.
I don't think the channel you put up belongs to the guy in the video.
His face at the first corner entry LOL! I am sure Matt would drive my car much better than me so I guess I can't really judge too much :)
Almost stopped watching at the "twerk it miley" sticker.
niceprince sucks for you. Lol go check out what this car looks like now 3 yrs later.
TJ WAS BYFAR the funniest and most entertaining passenger on here to review his own car lmao that was so funny when he launched it. He looked so surprised.
