My First Car is Getting my Childhood Dream Engine!

[@TheOrderOfN]

It’s awesome to see someone we’ve watched grow up practically getting to realize his vision with his first car, most people never even get the chance to have a car the truly enjoy as their first car, let alone selling it and being able to buy it back and TRULY realize their vision. Keep being you Adam, cause it’s obviously working.

[@nathensantiago3785]

Some of us also total that first car we enjoyed so much. 😞

[@heroinsnorter]

oh na, you glazin

[@SkywalkerAnakin996]

I’m searching my first (non crashed, totaled the first one) car for years to buy it back but can’t find it. Regretted selling it since the new owner picked it up. The only Infos I got are that he ruined it with some bad mods and got it impounded

[@keonisouza6096]

Smart move with this build, even thought it’s last minute. More content with your current builds on your channel, plus this one with drift HQ and PSI. Plus FCP euro using it at the invitational, AND you get your dream swap! Everyone is happy 🤘🏽

[@zachp1604]

Always good to see zeeroy, those videos of taking it to the track were my all time favorites.

[@S58985]

@@24kNick it’s literally the most basic build he could’ve done besides an LS. JDM dudes like RB’s, SR’s and 2J’s and call every one of those builds “unique” lol

[@HalftonJohnson]

I love the networking between channels I’ve been seeing lately. So much better and I’m so happy to see more people get exposure

[@JamiesGarage1]

Looking forward to this build! I’ve never swapped a S54 into a non-M3 e46 but it should bolt right in. 🤘

[@deltacharlieecho4732]

It bolt's right in but might require another harness. I haven't looked at e46 schematics in a while but in the e36 it takes a different setup. Should be straight forward though.

[@NoShaDow36]

You can fit 265s if you cut the rubber sealant out and roll the fender, clearing 275s is TOUGH, I made it work with serious fender rolling and hidden trimming, but it still rubbed a bit

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I can't wait to see how this thing comes together, getting to go wild with your first car is something we all dreamed of doing

[@strictlynerdy9635]

More zeeroy content please!!!! Gotta be my favorite out of the bunch. Thanks for the hi chew in my order btw 😂

[@BulletSpeedGarage]

After everything calms down I would love to see the 335 come back I love that car

[@Aleks_Mechanics]

Notification Squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

[@dineshbrahmam3528]

21:00 Speaking from experience with my e46 (coupe. Coupes have better rear clearance) I was able to fit a 275 rear on a 10 wide with minimal rubbing on stock suspension and body if that helps with fitment issues

[@OnlyDamp]

I love how adam is that friend always wanting to have fun and possibly tear things up then you got mike being the friend that is like hey think about what could happen dude.

[@teamfuzion52]

Yin and Yang friendship 😂

[@Iamdesignproducts]

It's the perfect mix lol

[@midnightdriftcrew939]

Adam u remind me of someone I knew who I was close with that passed away. He’s got ur adhd spark. And u guys are completely different ppl but yeah. Idk. Hope all is well .. this world is so big but so small. It’s so fun but so dark. Just keep happy. Everything will be okay. Please step back and enjoy life , help the drift community to ur fullest we fucking need u. Let’s take over this world with cars and love

Nice!! It’s going to be a great project!! I remember Shawn when he started PSI and we were with the CFBMW Group. Goodluck👍🏽

[@Deftones445]

I love the built s54 for your first car, makes it that much more special

[@gavinzahler3391]

I started watching you when I was 12 and got into bmx, and i'm now only 2 weeks away from getting my drivers liscense and seeing you transition to more car content around the time I got into cars and following your channels growth has been amazing. Keep it up!

[@anon4602]

As soon as I heard Z-Roy start, I started smiling. Thanks Adam (and Mike and team) for putting smiles on all of our faces almost everyday!

[@darrell680]

me too

[@CODE-BROWN]

I wish there was an FCP for Nissan/Infiniti. When I had my Passat, using FCP was a great experience.

[@rcaction8030]

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one!. Excited for the future of my E46 M3 as well

[@logandowney03]

You have my car just a different color. Also you are making my dream car as well. Unfortunaltley I don't have buddies around me or at all that do mechanical work. I hope one day I can meet you and maybe talk about a build for my e46.

[@rockyrocket_]

8:08 e92 looks crazy good

[@MikeOrkid]

Stoked it's staying Bavarian. Granted, it's your car and you can put a Briggs and Stratton motor in, it's just rad it's getting a strong, solid heart.

[@coreygaffney7678]

I got one of these e46 just before you got urs back and thought there’d be nothing to do but ur inspiring me to keep it

If you pull the gloves on the vapor blaster halfway out you can open the door all the way

My brother currently owns HPF’s Right hand drive E46 M3, Titian Silver over Imola. Hes running there Twin Turbo kit with a Vac Motorsport fully built motor and a Vanos Delete, He made 1000HP with room to turn it up. The car is going to get fully re-done in the coming year or two though.. he’s been collecting parts for a while now

[@fatninja987]

It’s crazy to think about how many cars Adam has when I remember watching him and the only 2 cars he had were the 335 and the cream s13

I've been waiting for the Japan content. I'm so glad ya'll are able to get back over there.

[@callsigngecko4723]

@@dcskate1022 I think with the lessened stress from not having to do anything but drive, plus him having more seat time in the Mustang will make him more competitive. This was his first year in a completely new chassis with a completely new team, it is unrealistic to expect him to be extremely competitive straight out of the gate. I expect him to do good next year.
