Hi everyone! I know these videos have taken a little longer to come out so thank you for waiting. This ended up being my longest video ever so if you want to skip through please at least make sure you see the clip of it rolling at 54:05. I'm really proud of how this effect came out and this was basically 3 weeks of work for only a few seconds of video 😂 Based on your feedback I decided to leave everything in and give you the option to watch as much as you want. I know some of you just like having something to help you fall asleep to haha.
I love these long episodes! And your ride looks sick! The deep dishes up fron and the aero's out back look amazing together! EDIT: Hmmm... maybe you're right and the aero's should go in the front... I don't know... both look cool!
@@akumabito2008 Cheers man. Function wise you'll always see turbo fans on the front because those are the brakes that are doing the most work and so you want to keep them cool. But that would probably be the only functional consideration I've made on this whole car so I'm tempted to do the opposite and keep them on the rear just to mess with people. Like my air vent that leads straight into a filler cap but it's fine because the cap is fake and there's nothing behind it.
Great work as ever!! Keep it up.. I think it looks a bit too low on the rears compared to the front, I’d raise it about 20mm would help balance the look and also help those rear wheels fit within the arches.. but that’s just my opinion 😅
If you would please simply build Kaneda's bike (with a functional turbine drive line) to photograph next to each other, that'd be great.. (I would die. for real.) @@TofuAutoWorks
@@thechadwick22 I definitely love Kaneda's bike but what I enjoy is designing and making new things so I probably wont build any replicas of something that already exists on this channel. But I would 100% think about making some sort of cyberpunk bike in the future.
If only the guy who is building his own real life Quadra V-Tech knew how to create custom parts which don't look like they will fall apart when he turns the engine on. These looks amazing and even feel heavy just by the sound they make when you put them on the table.
I was surprised by how good that pattern looks in the sun! Great stuff, but when we're all sick of seeing turbofans on every build over the next few years, remember you and Tim started this trend. :D
As usual, totally worth the wait. Loving the spinning carbon effect as well. The amount of work you put into sharing the videos with us is totally appreciated by all who view. Thanks much
Every time one of these comes out I'm like "There's no way I'll watch a whole hour of this..." and every time I watch the whole hour and at the end am like "I wish that was longer..."
Your obsession with this art project is truly remarkable. I know about hand-made composite work, as I've mentioned in the past, and must give you a huge hat tip for doing thes projects. Thansk so much for sharing with us. I look forward to seeing more. Cheers.
Heck I love sitting back and learning parts fabrication stuff from these vids. I know this thing isn't a performance focused build, but I'm kinda glad you swapped the fans to the front at the end, knowing roughly how they work
Bro you're a fuckin menace! Calling those turbofans insane would be a massive understatement. Your attention to detail, strive for perfection and near-flawless execution is motivation for myself and I'm sure a bunch of others in the comments. Keep making shit happen! We're here for it!
damn man, i am not the biggest fan of cyberpunk looking cars but this built.. this is so much more then just a car with a body kit, turbo kit and other rims. this is what i can call art, propper art, you really built what you wanted and i like it. all in one, dope shit!
I've thought about adding a diffuser for years but I keep going back and forth because I don't know if it would make sense for something that lives on a farm. 🤔
@@TofuAutoWorks Might as well go all the way and add one. It's a form over function build that can't even go on public NZ roads, you've got nothing to lose 🤷♂
While I don't know that I would have made all of the same aesthetic choices, the end result is absolutely fantastic. It perfectly captures the cyberpunk aesthetic. I wasn't at all convinced by the glitch carbon look until you showed the wheels movin in the sunlight and then I saw how amazing they look. FANTASTIC build, one of the absolute best on YT and by far the best one man build I have seen. Excited to see where you go next!
I know this is more of an art piece, but something like a low boost kraken kit or rotrex would add so much to the driving experience even just with the change in sound. The glitch effect came out amazing, never seen anything like it. Awesome craftsmanship.
I think that if I ever hit the lottery, I'd pay for someone to build me a custom car from cyberpunk. Their designs are so cool, even if a little impractical.
Everything that you do is absolute art, my dude! And every part that you put out is a masterpiece! Loved the longer video, and I wish there was more, fully realizing how much work goes into these. You're an inspiration and you have my utmost respect! 🤘
your creativity and vision are mind boggling and your ingenuity to overcome the technical challenges of your creations is outstanding. what you can achieve with limited resources on a garage is remarkable. well done and Thank you for another very entertaining and interesting morning
@@TofuAutoWorks oh damn, that shows my ignorance, I didn’t realise that was the case! Either way it’s incredibly impressive. It’s just such an amazing build. I’ve seen lots of ‘apocalyptic’ builds that are just an excuse to not finish the thing. You have gone above and beyond on this one!
Thanks man, that's sort of the goal with my videos, to show people you don't need all the expensive tools and you can do things on the cheap and still get a good result. That's why I tried so hard to make that second fan without vacuum bagging.
The level of detail and effort making these wheels is ridiculous! The results are outstanding though! What’s next? Mouldings for around the rear tail light bar?? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I really hope Glitch Carbon will catch on. I'm not a material engineer, but maybe it could be made to work like Oriented Strand Boards work for wood fibres? But even if it doesn't, it looks very cool, and if it doesn't detract from the pieces rigidity it would be a very cool cosmetic addition to some body panels.
Maybe instead of the squishy you use, a spike roller might work a little better to prevent all those small carbon parts to move or slide away on such a smooth surface as glass. At the end it worked out still so nice work!
I'll have to buy a bristle roller and give this a go. I actually used one of my regular barrel rollers on it that I use for fiberglass as well but I think the main issue was I went too wet with the epoxy and so the layer of carbon was just floating above it instead of sticking to the pieces underneath.
Cheers man. I'm going to be getting back into the Stagea either in the next video or the one after, I just needed to take a break from it and work my head on something different for a change. But don't worry, I'm itching to get back into it as well.
I love how your work comes off slightly more achievable for the common man (not requiring expensive booths and full body shops) I also liked this video where you even kept 2 parts of different methods and made it work. You are the every man modder. That said I think I liked the old look better something about carbon fiber on a dystopian car seems off, even if it looks cool. But it is definitely a cool how to and why not style video. Cheers
Cheers man that's really the goal with this channel, I always try and keep what I'm doing with a low barrier to entry so more people are encouraged to give it a go. And I know how you feel with the carbon, but my thinking was in the future where this car is set, almost all performance cars will be made from carbon fiber and so a lot of it will end up on this car by salvaging it from junkyards or wrecks.
This car is a true piece of art no matter how you look at it. It could perfectly be used in films like: 'Akira' or 'Ghost in the Shell'.... Awesome job!!
But seriously, why don't companies make more or ANY turbofan hubcaps by wheel bolt pattern!? Seems like a huge market to miss out on, only see ones for Teslas
@@GoatSimpulator teslas need it for the breaks other car don't reall need them since its mostly cosmetics. Also you need deep wheel wells so it wouldn't be universal.
awesome results, dude! I just have one thing to comment: we do a lot of carbon work for our universities formula student team and have found that electric power tools and carbon dust are not friends at all (coal brush damage, sparks etc.). If you intend to do more carbon in the future maybe consider buying an air powered tool set.
Thanks mate. And yeah I did sort of know that the dust from carbon can be pretty bad but if I'm honest, I don't really think I'll be doing much carbon work. The price point for carbon parts are just so much higher and that's not really what I'm about. I prefer showing people how to do things that are cheap and easy to get into so I'll generally just stick with fiberglass and polyester resin.
You put so much effort and time in small details. I am amazed and I love to watch. Next time you should make the covers at least the same diameter like the rim. Now they look smaller than the front wheels. But that is really the only thing I could criticize.
Really awesome, can't believe you said you may remake the covers. It is insanely hard making a perfect circle completely by hand with some grinders, they turned out amazing. If you do remake them you can mount them to the car and put it in gear and use the car as a home made lathe. Take a grinder to them while the wheel is spinning at 100 mph. Completely safe 😁
Incredible work as always. I was a bit sceptical of the glitched carbon until I saw those wheels spin. Side note: recently I learned of the existence of the mid-engine 1984 Honda Civic and for whatever reason, it reminded me of you and your work. It’d be interesting to see a future build take some aesthetic cues from it.
I saw that when spreading the epoxy with the scraper, the carbon got dragged out unevenly. You should try a roller instead, as it is less likely to disturb the pattern:)
Congrats on your Legends Tour Win! I was so glad for you, I am watching your videos since the beginning ( *almost :) ), collecting Hot wheels as well, so I am going to buy a bunch when it hits the stores :)

Glitch pattern was great. Light hitting them as they spin is unreal. Great work!
Brilliant stuff, this whole car is like a prop for a movie that doesn’t exist.
Maybe we can trick someone into making a movie just as an excuse to use the car haha. Maybe Fast and Furious 77, Cyberpunk Tofu Delivery edition
If you would please simply build Kaneda's bike (with a functional turbine drive line) to photograph next to each other, that'd be great.. (I would die. for real.) @@TofuAutoWorks

Tofu never misses. Your work is inspirational and crazy at the same time. Cheers!
Thank you bro, I appreciate it!
Noways this car is now a hotwheels brooooo that's soon cool!!!
If only the guy who is building his own real life Quadra V-Tech knew how to create custom parts which don't look like they will fall apart when he turns the engine on. These looks amazing and even feel heavy just by the sound they make when you put them on the table.
The glitch pattern looks so good when it's rolling!!
Oh man it was a relief that it actually looked how I imagined after spending over a month on them.
@@TofuAutoWorksI fully understand that stress, takes me a month to change my oil lol
Agreed, the flat plates look better at the front. Such a good build! It's been very fun to see how this progresses!
dude is building the darkest roughest car while living in green rolling hills... what a contrast to be had. respect!
I was surprised by how good that pattern looks in the sun! Great stuff, but when we're all sick of seeing turbofans on every build over the next few years, remember you and Tim started this trend. :D
Cheers mate! I hope I don't end up starting a new trend that we all get sick of in a couple years haha.
I can almost guarantee that sema will be filled with glitch carbon next year; it looks sick!
As usual, totally worth the wait. Loving the spinning carbon effect as well. The amount of work you put into sharing the videos with us is totally appreciated by all who view. Thanks much
Every time one of these comes out I'm like "There's no way I'll watch a whole hour of this..." and every time I watch the whole hour and at the end am like "I wish that was longer..."
Killing it as always my dude. Makes me want to start going wild on my miata as soon as the turbo gets upgraded.
Yeah I'll be the devil on your shoulder. Do it. 😈
@TofuAutoWorks parts have been ordered... The peer pressure is real even half way across the world....
The 3D printed jigs for cutting the shapes was *face melts* so good. That press-fit moment with the centre piece ... damn. Chubbed.
Your obsession with this art project is truly remarkable. I know about hand-made composite work, as I've mentioned in the past, and must give you a huge hat tip for doing thes projects. Thansk so much for sharing with us. I look forward to seeing more. Cheers.

This would have been a show stopper at SEMA. Maybe next year man.
When they hold SEMA in NZ I'll be first to put my name on the list. 😆
Bro you're a fuckin menace! Calling those turbofans insane would be a massive understatement. Your attention to detail, strive for perfection and near-flawless execution is motivation for myself and I'm sure a bunch of others in the comments. Keep making shit happen! We're here for it!
Doesn't need background music, don't even need no words. Just doing something genuinely interesting. Keep it up, my dude
I'm not sure if I have ever seen more satisfying crafting videos with awesome resoult than yours dude. Actually ..i'm sure i haven't.
damn man, i am not the biggest fan of cyberpunk looking cars but this built.. this is so much more then just a car with a body kit, turbo kit and other rims. this is what i can call art, propper art, you really built what you wanted and i like it. all in one, dope shit!
I love your work space, quite but with the background of nature at times, perfect.
That glitch effect is sooo mesmerizing. The only thing missing on this car is a massive rear diffuser to complete the cyberpunk look
I've thought about adding a diffuser for years but I keep going back and forth because I don't know if it would make sense for something that lives on a farm. 🤔
@@TofuAutoWorks Might as well go all the way and add one. It's a form over function build that can't even go on public NZ roads, you've got nothing to lose 🤷♂

well done and Thank you for another very entertaining and interesting morning
This should be next hero car in Twisted Metal! Fantastic look and skill !
The Glitch-Pattern is SICK! And glad I watched till the very end - was just about to mention turbo fans in the back are kind of "useless" XD
Keep the fans on the back, the balance is 👌🏻 such great work!
But if I leave them on the back then I'll have to deal with "Turbofans are supposed to be on the front" in every comment section and car meet haha 🤣
@@TofuAutoWorks oh damn, that shows my ignorance, I didn’t realise that was the case! Either way it’s incredibly impressive. It’s just such an amazing build. I’ve seen lots of ‘apocalyptic’ builds that are just an excuse to not finish the thing. You have gone above and beyond on this one!
i absolutly love how DIY you have done these but how professional they came out, top work as always 💪

Loved it when the light hit them and it was like they were illuminated piece by piece! Impressive work.
Congratulations on the 2023 Hot Wheels Legends Tour win! Looking forward to owning a tiny version of the car.
Do fiberglassers become immune to itchy or do they live in a constant state of itchy?
I grew up with brothers so I'm used to constant mild discomfort and irritation.
Huge fan of the carbon fiber camo pattern, never seen anyone do that before, it looks sick!
Maybe instead of the squishy you use, a spike roller might work a little better to prevent all those small carbon parts to move or slide away on such a smooth surface as glass. At the end it worked out still so nice work!

Thank you for another video. We are patiently waiting for another stagea video 😊
Cheers man. I'm going to be getting back into the Stagea either in the next video or the one after, I just needed to take a break from it and work my head on something different for a change. But don't worry, I'm itching to get back into it as well.

Turns out better than expected! The glitch pattern effect is awesome!
Man you have more patience than then I ever will
This car is a true piece of art no matter how you look at it. It could perfectly be used in films like: 'Akira' or 'Ghost in the Shell'.... Awesome job!!
This build and the other guy building a Quadra v Tec are awesome
You won’t find those hubcaps at walmart

Amazing! The glass lay up is genius!
Congratulations on winning the Hot Wheels Legends Tour! I’m super excited to get my own die cast model of the build!
absolutely gorgeous i wish all cars looked like this you have done and amazing job love the new wheel rims
Crazy talented man, you make it look so effortless
Im so excited to get my wife body kit from you! Ill be ordering when you get the international shipping stuff figured out!
😱That glitch pattern looks amaZeballs! 🤩
I’m gonna buy your car when it’s a hot wheels car! I’ve enjoyed seeing this masterpiece be made congrats dude🐐
i recently actually saw your miata get recreated by someone in a game. it was cool to see
If you dont mind saying, how much did all the tools for working with carbon fiber cost?
On front 😍 Goddammit what a sweet projecyt, as you wrote, it looks unreal when in motion 👏
Incredible work as always. I was a bit sceptical of the glitched carbon until I saw those wheels spin.
Side note: recently I learned of the existence of the mid-engine 1984 Honda Civic and for whatever reason, it reminded me of you and your work. It’d be interesting to see a future build take some aesthetic cues from it.
Every other auto mods channel should take note and be afraid that ToFu may show up at a car show near by.
Very, very cool, looking forward to seeing this thing out and driving.
masterpiece of art... like the rest of the car. Awesome bro
Your every video makes me want to work on my 7gen civic coupe more
Keep up the great work tofu ❤
Just incredible. You are an artist and a wizard.
Got to love your work❤ well done and i have a lot of respect for your precision en dedication. Keep it up warrior 💪🏼
Congratulations on winning the hot wheels legends tour ❤️
Lookin' good, lookin' good. I have ideas for a cyber punk car,I just need the car, money, stuff, lol.
I could see this working with patches of different colors
Enjoying a Sunday morning coffee with Tofu! 😎
55:20 thank you for switching them
I think car will look better if fans stay in the rear. Form over function! I love your channel!
when a tamiya 1:24 model kit won't do it.... this is amazing
めちゃくちゃ良い！
自分航空機のカーボン部品の製造やってましたが、手順が完璧で感心しました。
リアセクションはまだモディファイの途中だと思いますが、完成形が楽しみです！
These turbofans look sweet. I do think you need a few millimeters of spacing though.
That carbon effect in the sunlight is incredible
this channel is still underrated
Norm is for the fans to go on the front for cooling the brakes that work the hardest.
Yup. 55:17
AWESOME! How about a carbon backer for tailight area? It'll make that light bar pop. IMO
Man you’re so inspiring! You’re doing dream work!
Mans not wearing gloves working the carbon you're a stronger man than I. I'd be crying from itchiness after 5 minutes of that
I saw that when spreading the epoxy with the scraper, the carbon got dragged out unevenly. You should try a roller instead, as it is less likely to disturb the pattern:)
Bro! you got hooked, Great work you inspire to keep working on my own projects
Congrats on your Legends Tour Win! I was so glad for you, I am watching your videos since the beginning ( *almost :) ), collecting Hot wheels as well, so I am going to buy a bunch when it hits the stores :)
Why didnt you make the wheel decals the same greenish-yellow color as the sides and rear? It makes it look disjointed.samesame
I think next time, you should put the peel-ply on first, then use a roller on it. I was kind of yelling at the TV, asking why, lol 😂
