[@jose-angel4978]

Damn recommended 4 years later… I got my z a year ago. Been watching you for years taylor. Crazy how you have a c7 full on drift car now. Real proud of ya man. 🙏🏼

[@beanbaby101090]

These videos are pure gold.

[@realbigveggie]

Alignment at full droop eh? Might wanna check it again on the ground.

[@tomahoks]

I was looking for this comment too.

[@tomb9818]

Yup lol. That's not going to work too well.

[@ElChipper]

Curious as well. Alignment in the ground would be last for me after new suspension settings and Messing with ride height.

[@cnarramore7295]

i do this with concrete blocks from lowes, 3 bucks for 4 blocks lol and you still have a foot of clearance under the car.

[@27thproject]

I would like to take a second to thank Taylor for the amazing editing and filming. We do appreciate the extra time spent. Thank You Taylor Ray!!!

[@liamcrawford1902]

Who argees that Adam and taylor should do a day in OSW taking subs for passenger spins, instead of adam doing another open house event

[@Captaindan7141]

Liam Crawford I argee

[@adamdiekmann2362]

You make such great, positive vibe, awesome videos. I appreciate everything you do on here. Keep up the good work man.

[@FZPDX]

When I find you tubers I enjoy (especially car guys) I like a couple of their series but only 1/2 but when it comes to your videos Taylor, I love every one of them

[@Captaindan7141]

This is my second favorite KZbin channel behind Mighty Car Mods

[@jessebylund3782]

I am loving the amount of videos lately keep it up

[@SloppyMechanics]

Ballin

[@jamiegreen5610]

So many vids ... just making my week better

[@cbmcfly32]

Taylor is so chill

[@mountainwild5474]

I always found rainy garage days were some of the best, there is a strange peacefulness while busting your balls most likely lol

[@fader2701]

preload info was priceless. thanks

[@MrEp1kk]

in car camera angle looks awesome! nice one Taylor :)

[@schallmg9091]

Seriously don’t understand why you don’t have more views/likes. Awesome videos

[@Taylordrifts]

Thanks man! I get by with what I get and it’s a good group of people so that’s what matters to me.

[@longjohn8735]

Every time I watch your videos ( after the intro) you place the camera on your toolbox. It makes me feel like I'm your toolbox in your talking to me! LMAO

[@cram6891]

Taylor you are so good you don’t need an intro!

[@marc9283]

love the slowmo shots, feels a bit like watching the Dexter intro :D

[@brandonquesnelle7228]

Progress and actually achieving daily goals feels amazing. I can tell you know the feeling haha

[@charlisendit9353]

Passenger side front quarter panel idea. Neon yellow with two thin blue lines going horizontally along the panel. Center of the rim highth. Would be a cool touch I think🤙

[@johny79action]

Sounds like the power supply in the Tool Box is causing a hum!, love your content :).

[@tazadams7931]

Mad vid dude. Looking forward to the tandems tomorrow

[@jordangarman1555]

Floral pattern the fenders!

[@zerohourdrift]

Jordan Garman ew no... color matched ftw... I like it inside the car but the outside? Nah man to far into ricer territory 😂

[@T4sho3]

Have the exact same setup, keep the rear sway, lose the front sway and keep your angle. You lose a lot of angle when adding the front sway bar as well as the wheel being stiffer when transitioning. Just tighten up the front springs to about 25 (thats what works for me) and you should be fine. This is all my opinion and what works for me

[@JamesPLee]

Add a flapped exhaust vent to your garage door and buy a roll away 1 ton air conditioning unit! Its just as hot and humid here in KY and I have to have AC in the shop to function. A good setup may be $400-500 at most. Consider it a tool or investment.

[@milestorres5763]

Im starting to dig the fenders.

[@zerohourdrift]

Now just gotta fix the fender, and chuck on a bumper set... even mismatched colors would make it look baller in comparison 👌

[@SethDavis96]

I love this intro so much

[@MGAFFY]

As weird as it sounds you should get one of those awnings that extend out and put it over top the garage near the bottom of the eaves troff, maybe it will extend enough where it blocks the sun from getting into the garage

[@barnes_specialty]

I can feel you on that heat. It was hot AF this weekend.

[@shaolincruz2891]

The z looks sexy AF in person,and those door panels 👌🏻 legit,it was more than a pleasure meeting you Taylor ,wish i was local by you so I could give you a hand when needed and hang out!!! Till next time🤙🏽🤙🏽✊🏽

[@Taylordrifts]

Great meeting you too! I hope the kids had fun!

[@shaolincruz2891]

Taylor Ray they sure did !! You and Adam were there main focus 😂

[@_ZAYA]

Get the same bash bar as Adam and Matt

[@Andrea-on5ry]

Seat time> mods

[@_ZAYA]

Disney I know but it would just look cool to match them

[@redlinesteez9630]

it's maybe $30 in tubing, he can handle that.

[@devonswindell9735]

Spin your house 90° so the sun can't come into the garage

[@tp5179]

If you hang an Army Surplus camo net up it would cut out a lot of that light. And still allow air flow. Plus its cheap!

[@jamessmith8284]

you can tell taylor works at BC because that sucker flew through that spring change. ive never seen so many jump cuts in one of his vids!

[@TheMCBonde]

looks sweet dude ! love the door panels

[@JonasVanHorn]

If you're ever having issues stretching tires, try this; Take a 16" bike tube and air it up to cover the distance between the tire and the lip of the wheel, then with either explosives or a cheetah the tire will pop right onto the bead almost every time! the great thing is that it pushes the bike tube over the rim so you can reuse it.

[@JamieD1994]

How much does the toe change from full droop to ride height? Setting alignment with the weight off isn't very accurate.

[@isaacanonymous1037]

eatmydustdusteaters x2

[@Khorsathedark]

Great vid as always. So, are you and Marco still friends? Never see him on anyone's channel anymore.

[@lancemcpherson6906]

Damn this intro doesn’t get old I love it

[@bryanmurphy26]

I also had to shorten my tie rods a bit to align after doing gkteck spacers. Plenty of angle with just the spacers though.

[@RockingItInSofia]

My garage is cooled and I love it.

[@knightdevil777]

The Z crew all need the same front bumper hint hint Taylor get a bash bar !

[@melwinwilliam94]

Ma dawg, back at it gee

[@zach4321]

Do you ever play on putting bumpers on? Would be sick if you got the same front bumper as Matt and Adam.

[@UncleDale_]

I need to buy a 350 again just to have that shifter, I can imagine how good that thing feels

[@enginepowered3353]

Buy yourself a key fob for the 350z. Bought one for mine and really easy to link with the car.

[@josephpham4650]

first, always great content on your channel! second, i was curious where did you purchase your wheel alignment tool?

[@daltonnewbold5874]

love you damn intro its soo good!

[@tylerdubby]

I agree floral pattern the fenders

[@kyledrexler7749]

Taylor when you build your dream shop, make sure the door faces North/NE

[@redlinesteez9630]

side project should be a car port in the driveway so the sun can't shine in the garage. plus the cars outside obviously get shade as well.

[@jaredanthony8070]

REDLINESTEEZ it's a rental. He probably can't or if he did the owner/property management company probably wouldn't be happy with it

[@backwoodzfoto2154]

What do you plan on swapping the Z with if the VQ ever goes? Maybe 2j or Ls? That would be so sick

[@anothercar]

i love the music and the audio of that dude, whats it from?

[@liamkpeebles]

LOVE YOU TAYLOR

[@Jeffe46M]

I had my Zs dipstick blow out... the amount of oil that blew out and splashed all over the bottom of the motor is insane....

[@joshroberts6721]

You could get some cool interior lights and spray the front fenders or something. Swag it up!

[@johnaragon828]

Where is Marcos ?

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

I was thinking the same!..Taylor usual would go over to Marcos place to change tires etc....

[@MrTR0uBL3]

I've been wondering why we don't see Marco any more

[@ElChipper]

Paging Marco.

[@marielisrosado4808]

we miss marcos.

[@tylerdubby]

And diffuser!!!

[@unclebensriceballs]

Gratuitous slow mo is rad, but a gratuitous slow mo of Sandy would be next level #justsayin

[@4by100]

I saw someone mention it below, but you should always align the car on the ground. The weight of the car affects the alignment. Although I feel like you should know this, so maybe you just forgot?

[@jaredanthony8070]

fourbyonehundred he works for bc racing. He probably knows what he's doing and doing it that way so that it's easy to do and will be close when it's on the ground. Not perfect but somewhat closer

[@4by100]

Yeah I know he does, which is why I feel like he should know that. I know it'll be pretty close by doing in the air. I also know he sometimes leaves small clips out where we miss him doing things that lead us to criticize him, but aligning a car with the suspension loaded is kind of alignment 101

[@Ricflair_woooo69]

Put a window shaker in the window and close the garage door

[@joshroberts6721]

Taylor intros be like "Miata LS Swap Part 12"

[@joejoecamel9106]

Your a poet and you didn't even know it. Life goes Fast Drive FASTER!!

[@BEYONDGARAGE]

So you can lift the car up with the quickjack and then disconnect the lines from the pump with out any problems??

[@GeorgeHampl]

Alignment with car jacked up?

[@HarlanMangulis]

Doesn't the alignment change as you set the car down? so doing it in the air is still toe out right? I know that's not bad for drifting but...

[@davidgalloway1605]

Your neighbor were getting into it in the background lol

[@markbednarski6968]

What is the background music song name. I looked forever for it by the bonus points link

[@bigmikepimp2003]

Geez your guyses weather over there is worse than ours. I live in California and I where there's bipolar your guyses weather is straight-up nuts. I mean it was cloudy and human raining like crazy and then sunny can the freaking weather make up its mind LOL.

[@208metalautomotiveweldinga4]

"Not counting our things before they thing" hahaha

[@ricardorosinha5482]

Why you don’t treat the rust in your miata and z?

[@Edrums326]

Ricardo Rosinha fr, the Z makes me cringe a little

[@Asa4455326]

It's a look dude get with the trends, I personally love it🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jamesderrick691]

If you have a chassis mount shifter, that means you can rest your hand on the shift knob and not damage the trans right?

[@Asa4455326]

What kind of jack is that? Link? I hate jacking up my car with a regular jack for some reason

[@evoboy1983]

Shouldn't you do alignment with wheels on the ground not in the air?

[@petrosst]

Taylor the 350z needs some body work. I know that this car was made for drifting but you should paint at least the fenders. ❤️🇬🇷

[@BrianHackettHACKit]

Can you please tell me where you got that recording about them doing things you like speech in the music for your KZbin video

[@devonbigelow7123]

Put a airconditoner in the window in the garage ther like 150 at walmart

[@zjohnson9809]

Why don't you shut your garage door and get a plug in AC from Lowe's or home Depot?

[@victorcolon9336]

That gear oil is gl4?, I belive nissan uses gl4 in their transmission, others will eat your syncros.

[@jake77515]

How are you doing total toe on your alignment? Is just doing front and rear separate ok?

[@deanm3342]

Hi Taylor, im looking at replacing my springs aswell to a stiffer setup. Do I need to revalve my shocks or is it fine to keep them at the same rate? Thanks

[@Taylordrifts]

If you change more than 30% of your current rate you should consider revolving.

[@Taylordrifts]

Re valving*

[@618NoRRiS024]

I love sandy I need a cat now

[@rhammerfist]

I need your motivation lol

[@MotoMantooth]

YASSSSSSSSSSS finally drivin with all the new goodies :D

[@peteranthonyanakwe9040]

Do you ever reply back to emails about bc coils? sent an email needing some help with choosing spring rates for my miata.

[@bassambadr1989]

man whats the name of the short shifter?

[@timtiminy]

how much more travel is on the long travel coilovers vs the standard bc coilovers?

[@Taylordrifts]

I have about 20mm more rear and 30 front.

[@VdubSPAZ]

I don't think I'm wrong on this you might be partially right on how to do a pre load but you didn't measure how much preload other than by measuring by your hand tightness.... I'm no expert but that just seems off to me.... I'm going with the simple fact that it depends on how tight you feel it or one and how tight you feel it on the other can make a huge difference... The 4 mm thing seems more scientific ... I think you should have to measure how much you thread lock ring up away from a bottom Edge that way both Springs are equally compressed then at a 4 mm preset

[@brodieyoung5042]

paint it all one colour?

[@ThePookybear56]

I really want this shifter but I can't find it anywhere

[@arthurbelljr]

SIMPLE HUMAN @bell_raceworks on Instagram or Bell Raceworks on facebook

[@joshuakeller8734]

Damn I’d love that vet

[@darrelbyrum]

I need to know this music.

[@daltonjberkley44]

Hey what's the song in your intro

[@Dabagel100]

dalton berkley it's a speech by Alen watts. Search the lyrics and his speech will come up. He's a old motivational speaker.

[@ianseigle7712]

Miata build???

[@ZeusHands]

Where’s Marco at? That looked like his car

[@richie2dicks468]

I'm with you on the headlight. I e been using them like 7 years now people use to laugh until they used one

[@RvolvoR]

alignment with the car lifted? wat.

[@BigSalmonPK4414]

Proud :,)
