Cam is so talented and one of the most passionate people we've featured! follow the build on his IG: cam.cocalis
not the most?
absoloutly! saw this awsome work live in Denver last month when i made my trip to the USA
This video came out awesome. This is easily the deepest dive into my story, my 86, and my shop set up on the internet and it was so much fun to film. Thanks guys.
Saw your build at Sema. Very interesting work!
Great job on the car. It’s unbelievable what you accomplished.
I find you more interesting than the car itself.
@@sonny1redvw thanks dude
Cam you are such an inspiration👊
Incredibly inspiring story man. This kinda shit takes tremendous willpower and determination. I'm not even a huge car guy myself but I couldn't turn this video off. Being totally self-taught in every aspect of developing, prototyping, and building an entire car so robustly and clean says things words simply could never express. Generation-defining guy right there.
i wouldnt really say is inspiring he has all the money and time in the world to learn every skill and all the tools to make his wants and need for his car to become reality.,
@@Cryptonationxyzfr, people really have no idea how much money helps...along with the internet. Anything you could EVER want to learn is at your finger tips, all you need is time and to get more time you need more money.
@@MrSirGiuseppeou still have to plan it out, you can't just put time and money without having a plan or structure. Knowledge, experience, and motivation is still required for it to work. Think of businesses, just because you bought it doesn't mean it'll succeed even in the long term and throwing money into, you still have to run the business for it to function, you also still have to make a structure, a plan for it to actually succeed. People fail, they give up, it doesn't need to be just money alone, can be a mental thing regrets etc.
@@MrSirGiuseppeyou might have a point if he won the lottery and funded a team to build it, but he didn't. He built it himself. Making it real takes a staggering amount of willpower and dedication, in addition to the actual money to purchase tools, supplies, materials, parts, _the car itself..._
@@EnhancedTrashBin all of that is included 'time'. Typically if you have enough money to start a business, you have enough to succeed..its ultimately up to you whether you do or not. Most people I've ever known personally or heard about who owned businesses and lost everything, had plenty of chances and warning to get out or fix their issues.
Amazing build by an incredibly inteligent and talented young man. His enthusiasm, creativity, ability to learn and decisiveness in his build is so impressive for anyone, let alone someone his age! I look forward to seeing his future projects...
I've wanted a full feature on this car for a really long time I have the video that Larry Chen did a while ago on my favorites playlist and actually watch it quite frequently this is literally the ultimate project car for me I hope someday I can create something half as cool as this
Better hope you have bucket loads of money too
@@blackpanda7612 If you happened to watch the video the guy worked his ass off to buy the car to begin with. And when he hit that point where the money was obscene he shifted his focus to writing sponsor proposals. If you work hard enough anything is possible
I praise this young man, it's not everyday you see a person who wants to learn, fabricate, and take chances all because they absolutely love their automobile. "Enthusiast" doesn't do any justice for this man. Keep pushing, I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future.
On that first sound clip.... I put on headphones, closed my eyes, and a single tear ran down my cheek. (wipes tear).... Beautiful.
You can hear his passion for creativity in his voice when he speaks about his car. So awesome
Such a cool guy talked back and forth his whole build so down to earth
Not taking anything away from what he's done but man, the stuff you can do when you have financial aid and sponsors. I dont even know how he had the time to do all this with college.
Rich parents goes a looong way. Not as fortunate on my end, but Im still happy with the Broken Honda Pilot i got from working minimum wage over here. Cant even afford basic tools to start working on my car.
His paren't didn't help him. He did this all himself. He got sponsors BECAUSE he was doing cool stuff and showing it off.
@@eliaswilliams6102 His paren't didn't help him. He did this all himself. He got sponsors BECAUSE he was doing cool stuff and showing it off.
@@FrakMunkie bs. How did he afford this car, college and a workshop at his age?
Guys like this will keep the car scene going💪💯
What rich.
@@douglasgreninger110 He mentioned he had help/ sponsors but I more meant the enthusiastic type 🤷♂️🤣 was a Rich guy hater too until I figured out they are the ones keeping the wheel turning give guys 9-5 jobs.
All I’m saying is thank you for not putting stupid amounts of camber on it like every other guy with an 86 or brz🙏🏼
I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for him, if this is what his 1st build looks like, I can’t imagine his skill set in 5 years or so. He’s the next Chip Foose, Ring Brothers, Kindig-It. I’ve been waiting to see this car on the road, great video!!!.
What a nice combo, it can blurb like a cruiser but also scream like a track beast.
MASTERPIECE! its tru they say LESS IS MORE... so clean. The Kid DESERVES MAD RESPECT - the drive - the dedication - the vision - the finished product -------------- what a story ! inspiring!
Super inspiring, Always enjoy seeing someone confident in their ideas and willing to try and fail!
Dudes gonna be doing great stuff in the future if he keeps it going
Damn. Dude is the ultimate example of what you can do if you just get off the couch. Congrats man
That's a trophy car, what a beautiful build and amazing vision. Some give this guy a contract, this guy has talent!
Proves anything is possible..Absolutely excellent video... Especially the last 2 minutes. Very important for the younger generation to watch..
Wow an 86 I actually like. It's a work of art for sure.
i remember seeing this, the absolute work involved is insanity. let alone first time ever doing it
This guy is truely inspiring personality. MAD RESPECT
There's nothing like a Nice set of headers and mandrel bends.. I have to get a Nice Down Pipe for my turbo and get rid of that Cast iron 90 degree bend down pipe that weighed like 50 lbs out of my car.. God the turbo spools up so nice and sounds so good.. I put a Fast Religion Down Pipe on My Nissan Juke Moved a Fast Cat into the Mid Pipe and put a 2J Cat Back in. Had her Tuned and Gain a 100 WT torque on the DYNO to the wheels. went from 150 WT WHP to 246 WT and 240 WHP...
An awesome mindset indeed, you can absolutely do this with the plethora of information available online but you have to admit that Cameron Cocalis is quite a smart dude lol
Please cam make a tribute car for the late Ken Block. His family deserves it and i think everyone would love to see you build something amazing for Ken Block R.I.P.
I was like, isn’t that trevers boy? It is!
:)
Holy hell THAT SOUND!!!! What a sick build!
Didn’t know Kylo Ren liked building cars , cool👍🏼👍🏼
A chrome strut brace would really complete this! Love it!
He is giving me The Zero F**ks Given RX7 vibes from back in the day TUNED. Just much cleaner and safer but I guess that's 2023 for you.
Definatly looking for a good 86 for a long time project defo wana get into builds like these
Amazing.. You did a great job! I'm imagining it with a mad max style supercharger and blower 👀
super interesting and inspiring story, I enjoyed very much learning the process of how this became to be, from the shop to the car.
Watching this amazing 21yr old with a pretty much fully custom 86 while I wait for a simple oil to be completed on my Audi😶
This man’s story is pure thriller😎
All the kids watching this, the opening 25 seconds is the mindset you NEED to have to be successful in life, business, entrepreneurial, etc…
love how the number plate swings in the back, haha.
It would be a dream of mine to build a car with cam, learn the skills and knowledge from him and create something of my own
Man this build is insane ❤
This thing makes Ferrari’s and lambo’s look like regular traffic
Not at all
Love the build love the car the sound got some years to learn to drive 😂
Seeing videos of people my age all scucessful and making it makes me relaize how far i am from my dreams lmao
That's a crazy build.....💯🎯
Cleanest battery relocation set up ever
this kid since sema i’m sure has every company just throwing all the top parts at him to have a part in this
21 year old has a shit ton of money and build nice race car… nice
gt86 really is the current day civic, you can do the coolest shit to it but at the end of the day it is still just a civic lol
Please shut up.
This kid aint no hero, the credit goes to daddy, anyone can realise their dreams if they are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Got enough money, can build whatevee you want at whatever age. Cool car though
Give me 10s of thousands of dollars and the tools to do what I want and watch me gooooo! awesome build my dude. I wish i had the toys and money to do stuff like this..
should do the same think from your front window and put one on the back all you got to do is unscrew it to get in the back of the car. it would look cool as well just saying
Absolute genius! great job and much respect, watching from the islands of Antigua and Barbuda
this car is lovely
That sound is absolutely beautiful
-- Is "We're meeting back up again"
more powerful and/or convincing than
"We're meeting again"?
That is very impressive. What a talent!
What a masterpiece 😍
What a fkn legend! So chill!
Art on wheels
Where there is a will , there is a way. This kid killed it
kinda a shame its a cross between show/drift instead of dedicated track or time attack. But still extremely impressed. This guy should def start taking orders.
That's awesome. The things i could have done with parental support$$$ oh well maybe in another life
The sound is insane ❤
This is awesome. Here I am taking 8 hours to change an alternator on a Honda Odyssey, and this 21 year old dude building an entire project car.
Unlimited money and time go crazy you could build anything when you have your own shop and daddy‘s credit card
That couch looks familiar. Y’all got some splaining to do TRC.
🫣😂
This is who every P plater thinks they are when they put spoilers on their car
This guy needs to work for hoonigan
These guys need aviation headsets
Yay for being deaf in a year. And the thing makes minimal go for all that noise. Looks sick though ngl. His vison is great.
"it looks like a wiggly worm!"
-my girlfriend
Nice looking car for sure, but I wouldn't want to be in an accident with this car
Love the build, just wish he'd be honest about getting help financially since it's kinda obvious you can't do this all on a teens wage, but great work nontheless
He saved up 16,000 from the age of 6 to 16 to buy the car, his grandpa was so impressed that he saved that much that he matched it, thats what he used to start the project.
@@ThatRacingChannel so how much does a lift cost? you dont just buy a lift in college. and what income does he have during college to afford rent on 2 different storage units. regardless. cool car.
@@ThatRacingChannel see, that makes complete sense and I can respect the help he got, making it seem like you can do it alone at 16 makes the story a little soft
@@PBrooksSawyer Also legal age of employment for the $12-15 an hour states is 14½ at minimum. So in just a year a HS student (inflexible and unconventional working hours) saved $16,000? What about insurance, registering, dealer fees, taxes, etc etc. GR86 prices 3 years ago weren't 16k either, not to mention all the tools, workshop, time, and other fees that come with 3 years of running a car legally. I don't buy this story one bit, other than the grandfather giving him 20k.
I love the build, love this guy's motivation and craftsmanship and don't doubt he's skilled, but the BS story leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I can't tell if the mic or my speakers are blown.
legend, maybe start a car company and sell us your unicorns...
Having a big bank account full of your parents money sure makes things possible.
Must be nice when you have financial help, and or rich parents and family. Try to do something like that actually on your own and actually having to work a real job for a living. Please just enjoy your blessings and don’t take it for granted
Circumstances are what they are. Some people have 2 parents with jobs, and some people don't. Can't fault them for taking advantage of the setting they are in. He did what he wanted with what he had. Can only be happy he followed his dreams. Good for him.
Damn Cam!
No ones going to give it to you.
Shout out to call my sponsors 🤣
What is the advantage and disadvantage of Cantilever Suspension??
I see 90% commments are jealous of daddys money.... kudos to him. 😂😂😂
tout ce qu on voie la c est le principe de la formule 1 serieux j adore en soufflerie ca donne QUOI 🙏😑🤲
This Dude!!!
Man wtf!? This is absolutely epic. At 21, this dude is going to go seriously far in this game. So awesome to see what young people are capable of and are doing. Best of luck man.
he probably gets all the money for it from his rich dad. no way a 21 yo with maybe 3 years of job experience is going to be able to afford this.
dude isn't even collage graduate age.
@@darkshadowsx5949u don't have to go to college to make money 😂
@@ARCbirdman Darkshadow is right tho he started saving for it at 16 and by 17 he had saved up enough average cost is 21k what 16 year old you know can save up 21k for a car and lets not forget the massive amount of tools and parts he had to buy for his build and the show he got when he was 19..... there is no way dont get me wrong its a beautiful build but he defiantly got the money from his rich family
@@Cryptonationxyzbs that guy is probably a couple k’s in debt
@@Cryptonationxyz debt is somewhat likely. And seeing as I'm working part time as a recent high school and I make 23k a year part time...I kinda find it hard to believe that someone who has been saving since they were 16 and now 21 wouldn't have enough money 🤷
This is why i take pride in my build, You do it yourself and do it right and it feels so much better showing it off. GREAT BUILD!
Something is up here, how tf is this dude affording a shop just starting college? What am i doing wrong in life 😂. Huge congrats to this guy!
He’s not. That’s daddies money lol. 0% chance he didn’t have help. You don’t buy a $20K car at age 17 unless you have significant help yet alone a freaking SHOP.
@@ChristopherGuilday not difficult to save up enough for a down payment on a $20k car at 16 lol.
@@zane812 you don't really cut up a car you have a down payment on.
He saved up enough and his grandpa was proud of him and bought the car for him, I believe was the original story.
Not sure how he afforded the shop. Rent?
If you work a $20-30k/yr job while living with parents and no bills, that’s a lot of money for fucking around.
@@vn.ninefive 20-30k/yr who is getting this money at 17-21. My country is famous for its relatively cheap work hand. I make 20400 country currency when you convert it to dollars is 11212. Inflation didn't help, many prices are x2 for some food and other supplies. The only way to make money here is to offer some service and work a second job. The good paying jobs are mostly occupied by people put there by others like ( close friend or boss that work in the same company) there are always exceptions of course.
Love his enthusiasm. Sick build, Dude is proud and you can tell
Kudos to this guy for being motivated to finish his vision/idea. Most of us just say, meh it’s too hard.
Most of us don't have tens and tens and tens of thousands of dollars, property, tow trucks etc lol. Kid is talented but so was I and all my friends, one of his wheels cost more than most of our entire builds in the 2000's. Videos like these need to make clear that none of this would be possible without being born into money. He's lucky as hell.
Dude parents are millionaires he gets cut a check every month for breathing lol
@@shane864 how many of us would even kill for a lift XD
@@blanchimont5587 My brother in christ I have dreamed of one my whole life lol
Probably has a lot to do with wasted money in turning a usable car into a show princess? just guessing though....
The biggest question I have is how does a 21 year old have the funds to do all this? Money was the biggest obstacle I had at 21.
sponsors, as said in the video a couple of times ;)
Sadly this isn't a realistic 21 yrs old build.
Skill & talent- YES
MONEY from somewhere else then his own- YES
(sponsorship/credit/etc)
Easily 80-100k to do build & get all the things he said to make the build happen.
motor/ trans, fuel/coolant management 25-30k easily. (He Said it was a new crate ls3 & tremec trans, neither are cheap)
car, tools, lift, shop, & main car to get around.
Can't forget college tuition & an apartment.
Now add in regular bills, food, etc
Same as back with magazines. Was shop builds, tons of sponsorships, a money flow, credit cards, etc
Mad respect to this dude, deserves to win an award at SEMA 🙌
he did
@@afegasdf76y123e 🤣🤣🤣
respect? its all his dads money.
@@darkshadowsx5949 ok then tell ur dad to get richer so u can do the same, stop being jealous and butthurt
@@darkshadowsx5949 Okay, ill sponsor your car. Lets get a SEMA award.
This kid is legendary, he's going to shine in the auto industry for years to come. Goes to show if you put your mind to it...
yeah that and thousands of your parents money plus all the support and equipment needed for that kind of work
@@Chubby_Lemon You must be the "victim of your environment" guy.
@@ECAConcepts i mean he saved up for an 86 in one year as a 16 year old thats pretty damn unrealistic
@@grqfeshe saved over a lot more than a year to buy the car. The guy was building skate ramps and decks for neighborhood kids when he was a kid himself. That takes grit.
Sounds fantastic with those headers. Mad respect for this young dude and his talent
This should be in a future Fast & Furious movie!! 🔥
First time it's ever been drove lol he can't even drive it
My dude bought 15k car at 16 and a shop at 19, damn.
Parents Money
How tf did he “save” that much money at 17 ……definitely daddy money,not hating but just be honest please.dope ass car though
Amazing story and personal character glad you made this video with TRC. Personally I Completely understand the situation of commitment and having doubting parents..... mine kinda did the next step of communication doubting to attacking the person's value till they give in or failure then commence to kick when down for months and years. Any new project to rebuild personal growth.... repeat. It's encouraging to hear your life experience, insight and vision throughout the build. Thank you 👍
He seems like he is driving it for the first time
Came from humble beginnings; $100k and endless free time. lol
RIGHT?? I wish my mommy and daddy would give me a small loan of $100k and my own shop!
My only gripe is its so heinously loud, otherwise a perfect build
Trulia mad scientist torn everything that you did and create a vehicle like that. I can't imagine how much work you put into getting sponsors getting money and being able to do what you did congrats and thank you for sharing it with us and I can't wait to see what the future brings for you.
SO GLAD TO SEE THIS KID GET A FULL LENGTH SHOWCASE FOR THIS BUILD BRO! KIDS DEFINITELY HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL AND I HOPE HE CONTINUES BUILDING💪
