£5000 FASTEST 4 CYLINDER CHALLENGE

Out of all the youtube car channels I've watched so far, you guys stand out with your genuineness and chemistry between the three of you. I cannot express how excited I am when my phone notifies me about a new video. If you manage to maintain the quality of your videos, you are without a question a 10M subs channel in a few years. I'm a huge fan of yours and I will be cheering for you along the way. Also, very excited about the new series and really looking forward to see what Taylor is going to do with his absolutely amazing value Z3, good luck matching that kind of buy with your V6 challenge, Alex! :)

@@Cubik07 lets add car throttle? Alex should have stayed there. both channels suck almost equally. i think he should have stayed there. there is multiple challenges on this channel. yet they are leaving project cars behind like the high mileage volvo (debatable as it had a new engine at 350k miles) and many more. it seen they are just uploading whatever they feel iike to make views.

£650 is waaaay too low for this. Insane price.

[@Yeorgey]

Similar ones without the sc look to be going for less than £2000 so presumably, if a garage were to do the work and it be over £1000 then its priced fairly. That said, it's an absolute steal and I can't wait for this series.

[@amazulu3401]

You boys absolutely kill it. Taylor falling over the table was comedy gold.

[@Lucky32Luke]

It just comes through Alex has cracked the code what has made petrolheads to watch TopGear for many years. I love others on YT (many have been mentioned here) but the spice is missing from all but not here. That is the code Alex has figured out. Joke, bunter, actual facts, and fun to watch topic driven videos like this one shortly coming up. Having Misha tying up the cathartic finish is just a genius move. I am not at all surprised why this channel is growing fast. Alex has managed to capture why many of us missing the TopGear but thought nothing what BBC came up over the years was even remotely similar. We had to deal with the reality TG will not be coming back. Even GrandTour (Amazon) is not close just a shadow of the good old days. The atmosphere of the three was "unrepeatable" by a team of producers at the BBC. This is where Alex came in and did (and constantly do) repeat the recipe like a master chef. I wish this channel to grow and all three vital components Rory, Taylor and Alex to keep up this great show.

[@maneatingsnail]

You absolutely hit the nail on the head there mate.

[@AussieDaz87]

Not to mention, buying/driving cars that are attainable for normal people!

[@imnotamechanic3491]

It's so difficult to replicate the magic of TG because it was about 3 friends having a banter. TV execs choose 3 ppl and try and script banter, here 3 friends are having fun with cars, plus, its even more natural as its not scripted (like TG was, although well done, you could sometimes tell). I think the focus on cheap cars further adds to relatability - these are cars sourced in advance, they just have some cash and a trailer (and dont always need that), so many of us could do the same, but as Alex points out, he's making the automotive mistakes so we don't have to.

[@Lucky32Luke]

@@imnotamechanic3491 I do agree it is more relatable and less scripted but also argue execs chose the 3. JC has been vital in choosing I heard. I would love to think TG has made it big because JC had the secret sauce how to make it so fruitful in terms of revenue. Amazon has made a good profit realizing the potential in JC in farming too. He is inevitably knows how to draw an ugly picture and still sell it for good money. I personally don't agree with most of his views but see his value in the media machine. Alex in my view has stripped off everything questionable or exposed to political criticism and kept the vital parts of making a show make us laugh. Would you agree on the point if it was only Alex alone you would not pay as much attention compared to every other UK YT car channels in existence? Having three guys (well selected) seems like the recipe? If your answer is you won't, why is car throttle not having the same uplift? I think it is the cohesion and Alex has now his own initiative, so he can pull.

[@Lucky32Luke]

@@AussieDaz87 I agree but also disagree. CarWow is pulling off millions of views and Matt Watson is entertaining. Although most of us is not even close having any of the cars on his show.

[@FGarray]

That is such an awesome deal. I picked up a '91 E30 318i with a blown engine for only $200 in 2020, swapped in a running M42 (basically same as z3) for $500 and it's been the best car ever since. I will probably never find a deal that good again lol.

As a Z3 owner that is an absolute bargain and it’s going to be so quick great find Rory

[@prophecyking3448]

My picks for sub 5k cars are: 4 cyl: 2003+ ZZW30 MR2 for about 2500, put rest into coilovers and some aero and tyres. Alternatively fish for an engine swap project. V6: 06-11 Lexus GS450h. Luxury barge, but nothing stock can hope to outrun it in this price bracket. You can get a ratty one for under 5k, but most go for around 6 or 7k V8: No clue. Maybe some Audi S car or a Benz? V10: Rare Volkswagen diesel V12: Those 1980-1995 Jaguars were dirt cheap few years ago, those had V12's, but they are way more trouble than it is worth.

Only round the corner from me . Could of popped in for a coffee and see my shed mx5 you roasted 😅

[@mrpurple2943]

yup this is the best series so far!

[@chrismason-bailey7467]

A really nice mod you can do to the 1.9 is to find the rear bumper, quarter panels and side skirts from an early 2.8 and convert it to widebody spec. You can then fit the Z3m wheels on it (you can't put these on the 6cyl cars as the hubs are wider and the wheels sit too proud, but you can do it to a 1.9). Did this to mine years back and it looked great. Of course the Z3m wheels are about £1k if u can find a set ... but looks like u have plenty of budget spare!!! Insane price you got that for ... nice one guys!!
