I really appreciate the Hi-Team/Lo-Team/Sketchy-team breakdown this episode. It's a nice way to show how "too Lo" is dangerous and not worth it.

[@IHateMyAccountName]

Especially the helmet. Like, do you trust your brain in a $70 piece of plastic filled with packing paper? Lol

[@matthewhanson498]

I wish they do middle of the road more often

[@JamesJones-tu4pq]

@IHateMyAccountName just saying that's not how gforces work like at all they all would have experienced the same amount of gs from the same highth with the same weight the fact they said the test showed wildly different numbers was a scare tactic to keep people from buying a helmet that was cheap but still did the job just fine

[@natec599]

@@JamesJones-tu4pq well, a heavier helmet would have more energy to injure your neck and back in an accident. I paid an extra $200 for the same model helmet in carbon for snow-machining because it was in my mind safer. It also came with a fidlock chin strap which was probably worth it alone

[@aaronthomas6155]

@@natec599 In Donut's drop test, all helmets would have the same energy at impact because they would all be travelling at the same speed. The difference is how the lining absorbs and disperses the energy at the time of impact. This test by Donut is utterly useless since most helmets will never be subjected to such circumstances. The same goes for driving a vehicle over the helmet. Quite honestly, if you fall on your head from a height of 10ft+, that helmet is not going to save your life. Lighter helmets generally mean less structural integrity. In other words, less safe. If you're truly worried about neck injuries, you should be wearing a neck brace. Whether it's something as cheap as a simple foam donut style neck brace or a HANS device doesn't really matter. A proper neck brace will help support the weight of the helmet, as well as prevent the types of movement that typically result in neck injuries.

[@Deltaaaaaaaaa]

@@MikoOhneHose the vid premiered 4 hours ago. Why would you read the comments before watching?

[@thebarkingmouse]

One safety comment, on removing seats. I'm sure you guys are aware but you didn't mention it at least not so far in the video, some seats have airbags built in. Disconnect your battery and let it discharge before you go fiddling around with those unless you feel like having one explode in your face.

[@thedawex90]

Was just going to write this. The airbag system is really sensetive, and disconnecting parts of the system without having the battery disconnected can make them blow.

[@MrWaarden]

Actually. Airbags are not that sensitive..

[@lucid523]

@@MrWaarden on some cars they are and other's their not

[@eknapp70]

This is an 06 wrx

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

I can't believe this wasn't mentioned. And regardless if the seat has an airbag in it, all cars within the last 20 years have occupancy sensors to disable the airbags if no one is sitting in the seat. Disconnecting these will cause an airbag light and potentially not deploy the airbag in a collision. On the track you don't want airbags, because of cages and helmets etc, but most people watching these videos are going to drive both on the street an track, this is a big miss in my opinion.

[@LamboDEB1]

Some people really don’t realize how high quality these shows are. The editing and pacing. The green screen and lighting work. The effects. Awesome!

[@dezzydayy4608]

Digging this 2-team approach. Having you guys separate the footage and tests between the garage and outside, with different testers, was awesome. Gives some nice variety to the video, and lets every presenter get some lines in.

[@MechaHeretic]

gfy bot

[@MechaHeretic]

I wish you guys did the final wrap-up shots from the last 2 hi/lo series. Like "yeah, Hi team won, but is it REALLY worth that much more money?" When James and Nolan would sit outside the shop and break down the price-to-performance. It's nice to hear which one is definitively better, but is it $1,000+ better?

[@drshocking1229]

I wanted to comment this. I miss it.

[@craigbigbee6395]

It’s the definitive part of the show, IMO.

[@espenhunt5158]

I don't want to detract from this episode being way better than the last couple, but I do agree that brining this back would be one of only a couple ways to improve this current hi/low series. Still though, I want to say this episode was a cut above the last one.

[@mattswank]

Right especially on an episode like this. Wonder why they stopped? This would’ve been perfect for it.

[@MeRiJohnny]

i love watching donut videos where there's the whole team in it. they're just awesome. such cool guys

So RaceQuip looks like solid gear for the money, and ideal for those of us just starting out with our race cars. Sparco is what I'd get with fat sponsor dollars but I'm totally impressed with what Low Car is getting this series.

[@FireCat005]

Sparco also has the most budget friendly option in seats, the Sprint. It's about $400, FIA approved, and one of the narrowest seats available. It was the only one I could find the fit in my Z3, also really popular for Miatas for the same reason.

[@Kaldryf]

@@FireCat005 cheap is good, but narrow is not for my fat ass 😀

[@enigma9789]

[@thatboijeyy]

@@enigma9789 18:16 they both actually had holes. However, I'd still buy the Racequip

Honestly don’t agree with the burn test. The racequip didn’t seem to have literal holes burned through it during the burn test, sparco however did

[@kevincrenshaw9588]

Gotta remember they did admit to using a direct flame that was 3x the heat you’d find in your car just to over exaggerate it. Who knows what would’ve happened had they turned the temp down a notch.

[@GoldenTiger5457]

@@kevincrenshaw9588 fair point but even then, with that high temp the racequip still had no holes burned through it handle the high temp better so it’ll likely handle the lower temp better

[@AntiSocialYogg]

Love the work, blood, sweat, and tears in making these recent videos.

[@jakematthews6982]

Personally I think it would have been good info to share that those yellow plugs that were disconnected were part of the airbag/srs system(s). Any yellow connectors or wires are for those systems. They may be passenger occupancy sensors or seatbelt squibs. Occupancy sensors tell the vehicle to deploy the airbag/seatbelt squib when an impact is detected and it senses an occupant in the seat. If nobody is in the seat it’ll prevent the passenger airbag(s) and squib from deploying. The seatbelt squib tightens the seatbelt when an impact is detected. Since the topic of the day is driver/occupant safety it would have been good to cover those topics informing anyone who doesn’t know that they’re disabling the whole airbag system by disconnecting even one of those components.

[@AnimaEterna996]

one thing to note on HiCar's harnesses- the 2" harness is only rated for use in combination with a HANS device. Using them without will do some serious damage if you're in a crash. Be safe guys

[@tonyovermyer5368]

Definitely something to think about. My project car is getting a cage and racing harness, but the car was built in the 70s where all you had was a lap belt so that is probably still a safety upgrade. On a newer car I wouldnt remove the airbags and factory belts

[@rallylout]

In actual use, the 3” harness is way more comfortable over the 2” … low car for the win this time around
