I love how Mike is such a car guy he shouts out another dude's car on his channel just cos it's cool. Also he's super cool boss to let Damon and Dave go back home for the holidays.

[@benhatting369]

Every single night, and every single morning. Mike till always simplifies things for people to understand.! is this even Damon or Dave’s channel anymore?

[@nickanderson4064]

I love how most of these videos have the guys messing around and Tim is in the background working.

[@user-pz4bl3qm5o]

i was going to praise tim for that as well ! noticed

[@monsterblood5752]

He is the only one that works these guys talk way to much I want to see them work on the cars this whole video was them talking about dum shit and then they get paid to set around

[@monsterblood5752]

F12 will never get done till end of the year I bet 2025

[@Sean-John]

​@@monsterblood5752This is how they can afford to keep these guys around if they didn't make videos Damon and Dave would need to be there all the time and it wouldn't work we would go back to videos twice a week 😢

[@taar7997]

That's true I mean I love these guys but honestly soo much of time they talking and like Tim's at work with the Ferrari n the f12 nothing is being done to it ? Or not other work to do?

[@rast4man]

Always cool to hear more of Mike's back story. He really is the real deal and I believe that bringing him and Tim into the DDE fam, was the smartest move ever.

[@BeyondResolution]

Heating up the plastic brings the oil back out and burns of oxidation. Works like a charm and now all the kids will understand that plastic = Oils :) Another trick is if you have an old red car that has turned pink/white.. Just spray it with WD40 or 5-56 and rub with a towel. Repeat til it's shiny red again. Get's oil in to the paint again and it's red again :)

[@scottyahol]

Wrong. You ruined the plastics doing this. False news

[@BeyondResolution]

@@scottyaholno, only if Your a dumbass and heat it to much :)

[@cameronrobbins3521]

[@scottyahol]

@@cameronrobbins3521 go back and check out what it looks like in a week. See your scorch marks and faded in some areas,

[@josephhansen7376]

Thats my Cayman, I agree that it needs some work. Engine is bone stock. Next step is a build focused on 8500 redline and a dry sump. Thanks for sharing though Mike! Any input would be greatly appreciated! Next time you're in CT let me know and we can try and line up some laps at Lime Rock!

[@mauricesiermachesky4900]

Damon & Dave can sleep well at night while gone, knowing the crew back in Cali can keep pumping out great videos!

[@josephmoorison2200]

​@JoeVinson in the grand scheme of things, this crew is relatable in a few ways. It's not a GREAT video, but it's enjoyable.

[@DaftFader]

I really like this format where mark is like the presenter in a way, and questions Mike and the others about stuff, as he asks really good questions that lead to answers that most people would find interesting. Although when Mike talks, it's hard for it not to be interesting to anyone with an interest in cars. xD I can imagine mark being a really good documentary maker TBH.

[@wagovan35]

Mark just is trying to learn. Cuz this is all new to him

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

I commented this above but I'll say it again. It is nice to have such a unknown view to ask questions for others who are inexperienced but want to know. When Mike is explaining things and Mark is there it adds a dynamic that can not be faked and is so easy to overlook. When someone knows so much it is easy to forget even the minute details are not so simple for everyone else. Mike does a phenomenal job at explaining technical details thoroughly and simplifying it as well for sure.

[@chadscatharsis3287]

HAppy New Year DDE family!! Hey anyone else notice HOW MUCH Tim works? Everyone else standing around flapping gums and that dude got his head up under the dash working his ass off! Absolutely a hard workin dude!! Mad love out to Tim and I'll be posting EVERYDAY this year asking the boss to give him a raise!! day 1...#GiveTimaRaise

[@monsterblood5752]

Tim works his ass off notice how he isn't in this video it's because he is working in the back round when they talk about dum shit Mark needs to leave them alone and he don't do shit anymore either it's sad they get paid to talk and set around

[@monsterblood5752]

Mark do some work please and leave the guys alone

[@monsterblood5752]

Mike can talk and talk and talk come on do some work we need cars done and poor Tim working his ass off when these guys set around that can get old for Tim

[@CatsZonetube]

@@monsterblood5752mark jobs are a producer, an editor and a cameraman. If you dont like Mark around then dont watch cuz ddestories channel is mark's channel

[@steveos6472]

I mean they brought him a car....

[@Romanrothmanphotography]

Good morning and happy new year to all the DDE family! Can’t Wait to see the 599 done, as well as the f12 and 720GTR. Would be cool to do a duckbill spoiler for the 599

[@petezee6645]

Ducktail … though a duckbill would be hilarious 😂

[@jonathanmcmillen7500]

I can't wait to see the Senna on the track

[@powergray8682]

Don't forget the murci getting straight piped by gintani

[@trooooyyyyy]

yes ducktail they have to see this because a highmounted wing doesnt look good on the 599

[@Romanrothmanphotography]

@@petezee6645it’s New Year’s Day my bad 😂🍾 ducktail, but yes and now they need to just build a full duck drift car

[@MichaelBacon212]

Heating the plastic and then using Back to Black does work pretty well on plastic trim inside and outside of vehicles.

[@shawnhines7653]

I would put a Hayabusa Engine in that little truck. That truck would fly and the engine is probably as heavy as the trucks OEM engine.

[@340_xi]

Oh would you? Do you know what goes into that?

[@danielkhuder7601]

Rich rebuilds did something similar with a pick up would be good to see in this little truck 👌

[@digestiveleaf]

​@@340_xiif DC shoes and monster can put a Hayabusa engine in a smart car one can be fitted on this Honda

[@340_xi]

@@digestiveleafwell yeah Mike can, but he’s not putting projects aside to put a hayabusa motor in Erick’s truck lol. I’m saying Erick would probably have a difficult time but I have no idea his abilities. Ignorant comment of mine in hindsight.

[@trackuza]

I agree that would be epic. Drove my friends truck with one in it. What a ride

[@domsullivan4851]

Looks like DDE have missed a daily upload 😂😂😂 the run was good while it lasted

[@IDv8I]

Happy New Year, Fam and the DDE Crew. Looking forward to 2024, as a Canadian anything with two/four in it is a good thing, if you know you know. Loving the growth of the team and direction of DDE so it should be a great year.

[@apexaero]

Mike The Huntington Beach area was nothing but a field of Oil Well Derricks from the Ocean's edge inland about 15 miles up through the 30's so you're suffering the OOZE also!

[@rodneyking4183]

10:56 That's what I needed to see. Proof that Tim actually plays Raid Shadow Legends.

[@SimCoaches]

We had so much fun building this for you guys!!! 🔥🔥

[@davidmeza7279]

Following Mike Essa since he ran and transitioned from Z4 w/s54 to the e90/ V10. Mob theories name of the channel when he build the V10. Best addition to the channel Mike and crew! Super humble

[@Semuatentangmobilelegends]

HAPPY NEW YEAR DDEFAM , HOPE THIS YEAR WILL BE OUR YEARS!❤ Much love from indonesia!!❤️‍🔥🇮🇩❤️‍🔥🇮🇩❤️‍🔥🇮🇩

[@CriticuhL_]

Eric!! Buy Cerakote trim restorer for your trim needs!! Little tiny wipes Edit: the torch brings out the oils, so fixing it like this will only help for 6 months, then itll go worse than it was. Use cerakote to restore

[@CriticuhL_]

God i wish i could move down to Cali to detail these cars 😂😂

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

Crazy how reviews on Cerakote are so one extreme or the other! I have had great results with our 7 sprinters (holy hell do they have entirely way too much "trim"!) Torching brings up the oils to the surface but will make them brittle over time if you continually torch it and do not apply oil for it to absorb again (dressing, tire shine or the like works well.) or like you said Cerakote

[@eric.choi0811]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@ignatuiscronje]

Happy new year DDE, FROM SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦

Build a ls with a flat plane crank and change firing order. Then 8:1 header will sound like a exotic, I support mikes car getting built

[@josephhansen7376]

The Cayman mentioned is my car and that was my original plan but quickly found out I can't possibly pay 15k for a fp crank haha maybe if we get some more attention on the build a company will step up haha

[@chrisgreenfield1061]

Best back to black trim restorer is peanut oil or peanut butter that is warmed and then rubbed into the plastic, The oil lasts for 4 to 5 months. Make sure to rinse off well so as not to get a white residue from the peanuts.

[@Hazeoflemons]

I can appreciate all different engines, swap everything into everything and build original stock motors too, just build and make something cool, and as long as it makes you (the person who own the car) happy then you are on the right track. Don’t worry about what engine or what style pleases other people.

To get rid of the yellowed headlights on Eric’s kei truck use buffing compound an a buffing pad on a grinder wheel

Mark is gonna know so much about cars from these guys everytime he doesnt understang he just sponges like crazy asking all sorts of questions good job Mark 👏 👍

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

Makes it nice for viewers with the same unknown but curious to know. It is genuine, it's a view you can't fake and is often overlooked by even one who is trying to teach. Simple things that we see as obvious, we often forget it is not. I'd like to see him start to be more hands on (and he very well might be, each "episode" is only a fraction of a day. Obviously he has other things to do that are his job when not filming that are not being out in the shop. He evidently does a good job at that, despite everyone thinking he just horses around (they forget that they are watching a video EVERYday).

“In a lot of different ways “🤣🤣🤣

[@AutoHrycFix]

Completely agree with Mike, we see all these mods that claim to increase horsepower. I have worked for Honda for more than 20 years and I agree you need a good base point. I have an S2000 and I love it. I have brought it back to its oem glory with a few suspension mods. At the time of release the S2000s F20c engine held the record for producing the highest power output for any mass production naturally aspirated engine in a car at 123.5 HP/L until the 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia which produced 124.5 HP/L. Mine is a AP1 reving till 9000 rpm, a great drivers car on and off the track!! Great content guys keep it up!!! 🔥

[@andyw8558]

To answer marks questions about the s2000. They are 11:1 and take boost perfectly fine. The problem with the greddy kit they developed was that it still uses the factory ECU. With a standalone ECU and e85 you can make tons of power with a good bolt on turbo kit.
