[@AngySumo]

I was mid-sip and that shit took me out lmao

[@reversecaoboy]

Helical/Torsen diffs need constant pressure (weight) in order to work. On a lift and up in the air it will act as an open, but if there is weight on both wheels then it will work. Only downside is if you get wheel hop or lift a wheel it'll go open again because there's no weight to counter the diff. So basically if both wheels are on the ground it'll act as a limited slip diff, but once one wheel is up in the air it's going to be open. Just swap it out for a clutch type.

[@vin_tra]

hell ya!

Wow this gave me hope. I could not understand torsen at all

[@ryan708_vids]

A little trick my grand father taught me when looking for leaks is to degrease the engine then throw a little baby powder at the area you suspect to be leaking then go for a drive. It will make the leaks stick out like a sore thumb 👍🏼

Amy did great on the manual - seeing how proud you were of her Vin made my day, and brought back a lot of memories. I remember teaching my GF to drive manual on my 94 RX7 back in 1997, she was terrible and so scared of it, but eventually learned and would take it out when I had flown away for work on the sly when she wasn't supposed to drive it. I was proud of her having the guts to sneak it out when I found out more than anything, because I'd taught her to drive it.

[@megansuefry5408]

So much packed into one update - pouring oil for beginners (🤭), editors note with a kickback to Hoonigan days, teaching how to do a compression test, and helping Amy get acclimated to the Kouki. Nice work!

[@TheRolexSlayer]

really liking your channel, I honestly never heard of hoonigan until I started watching your stuff, so I hope I can give you some confidence about separating yourself from your past. You on your own is good enough that people that didnt know anything about what you used to do will still find this content very entertaining. Youre a Pro dude.

[@Nothinf-k2v]

I’m not gunna lie, this is amazing. We need more of this.

[@chrisjosekuehl]

I’ve always thought a VQ would be a great swap especially with the trans, better weight distribution, plenty more torque, less heat and no turbo tubing issues. Do a s15 body conversion, those were the most gangster mods back in the early days.

[@ARGUS13Y]

Love your videos bud keep them coming you Hert and Zack are my entertainment!

[@blueprintjdm]

I think it's a VLSD, and until the pressure builds up the wheels don't lock. So, it checks out that both wheels wouldn't spin on the lift, but clearly they are locking up in the burn out clip. Also, keep it. The s14 is the best chassis, no matter what I buy I always come back.

[@christophergreene4796]

Torsen/helical units are great for autosports applications. They do not have to be shimmed or have the clutches replaced and they typically last until you overwhelm them with power. the lock up is more graduated and predictable, which makes for earlier back-to-throttle mid corner and faster corner exit. They cost more than clutch style ones, but do not require friction modifier. The drift crowd always shims the clutch style to act like a just about welded diff for way more lockup, but in a autocross/roadrace application, this makes the car just a bit more unstable and can create understeer when getting back on the gas, whereas the torsion unit will let the contact patches of the tires stay planted by not scrubbing against each other

[@GoPotato69]

i love how the ergonomics of the car work perfectly for amy, but ur a giant in it

[@MyName-mi8qr]

I had an S13 with a CA18DET with a fully built motor and GT28R turbo. Only downside, oil likes to pool in the head so long high speed runs were terrible for the motor. BuddyClub Spec II exhaust, Japanese tune for 7700 RPM Redline, weight reduction, Megan Racing Coilovers 12/10 springs, fully spherical bearings arms, and poly bushings. Could walk most cars on the Autobahn. I am a grip driver but fun overall. Now in a S550 Mustang GT PP1 and as much as I love the SR20DET, you can't get me out of the V8. Ugh I hate being a car guy!! Great video bruv!!

When pouring oil, just use your thumb to cover the spout, and right before you place it into the engine, slide your thumb and you'll have zero spillage!👍

[@Mystical_Zeus]

So the bottle being backwards is right, it allows you to get a better angle of attack before the container starts pouring. It's designed that way.

Has a helical diff. On the ramp in neutral what you experienced is normal for a helical diff, plate diff both wheels would rotate. Leaving a set of 11's means it has a diff. Keep up the great work Vin!

[@hdoglesby]

Vin, you need to unplug the fuel injector connectors or disconnect the fuel pump relay in order to keep fuel from spraying in the combustion chamber while doing your compression test. The fuel will wash your cylinders down and give you inaccurate PSI values.

[@Michael666CA]

The first pour, gotta see the label 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@chrisjosekuehl]

Viscous diffs don’t lock until there is fluid pressure to lock the plates up, it’s better than a mechanical lsd because it’s smoother and you can tune the lockup characteristics by swapping or rearranging the plates.

[@MyRandomness987]

Repainting has its up's and down's. If you go back with the original paint code for the car and the paint shop does the correct thing in taking the car to almost bare metal and redoing the primer as well as the paint. The value of the car will not go down, if you just do a scrub and spray then yes the value will go down. Just depends on how far you want to go with this. It is am amazing car and I hope the car stays for a while!

[@iLLESTFRANCO]

I’m looking forward to see all the updates with the s14 including the carfax situation. Best channel 🤙🏼

This is very similar story of my s14 as well . Found it on Craigslist in 2019 for an unbelievable price . Pearl White slick top , mint dash 97 kouki . You have to be chosen one just to find these cars so don’t sell it just yet and just enjoy it .

[@NonEuclideanTacoCannon]

Best way to score a "barn find" is to do construction work in rural areas. When I was a kid, my dad found all sorts of cool stuff when he would do work on peoples' houses in the country. They'd often just barter for more work. I remember one time he got a 60's Corvette that was literally in a barn in trade for adding a deck to a guest house he was already building.

[@tristanhanselman6709]

Dog at the end is h the best! Circle zumiez!

[@aus-rider]

Normally on a limited slip diff, you would spin the right wheel and both wheels turn in the same direction Vin, but you turned the left wheel, also if it wasn’t a lsd, the wheels would of turned in the opposite direction when you spun either wheel, seeing you laid down a pair of elevens, I’m sure you know it’s a lsd, great car great buy dude.

[@prodoesminecraft1122]

Now turn the oil bottle sideways and you're golden hahahaah 😂

[@thecheese302]

the way id test it is to start turning before breaking traction if you are perfectly straight when you start the skid then it can still spin both
