My shocks are already blown so lowering springs can't make it worse 😂 Additionally, I'd like to add thatit's not a bad idea to have cheap tires with low grip as a spare set you put on when you go out for a track day early on, so you can get a feel for what losing grip is like, and putting good tires on when you go back home so that you have that buffer on public roads to make up for what you still have to learn.

Episode Idea: How about looking at common performance mods and how they impact gas mileage on daily drivers? Some of us have 300+HP daily drivers that we wouldn't mind going from bad gas mileage to not-quite-as-bad gas mileage. Specifically, which mods both up power AND help fuel economy when daily driving, and which mods add power but wreck fuel economy.

[@eggfool1428]

Correct me if im wrong, but, im pretty sure turbos can give a boost in fuel economy?

Improving the tactile feel is always a better bet than improving power. I have an older Kawasaki 250 Ninja, the ultimate beginner’s bike. Putting an exhaust, K&N and a dynojet tune on it did feel nice. But the adjustable rearsets and the Lindemann custom valved suspension completely changed it from a beginner’s bike to a stonking backroads weapon. Braided brake lines also make a huge difference.

[@donloder1]

I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

The throttle body spacer got its roots in carburetor spacers, that did actually boost hp and torque. Today tbs are only good because most have a threaded port for a sensor or methanol injection. I have a car with cheap coilovers and another with drop springs. Drop springs definitely ride better but the Raceland coilovers aren't bad and I can't complain about them!

[@christopherlowery855]

Bladed, You should probably caveat that the more mods you add to your car, the harder email tunes become. Mainly because your setup is now very unique. It is then very hard to find a vehicle that has all the same mods installed to build a dyno tune against. To your point though, for a mostly stock build, email tunes are great for the reasons you outlined. You can still do a lot with a remote tune even if your car is mostly custom. A remote tune was used to resolve a hard to start when cold issue on my car, which is far from stock. I look at remote tunes as being the differnece between a technician working on your computer remotely and locally. It really depends on whats needing to be done and how familiar the technician is with your build.

[@gamespender8605]

to add to the last point about being a safe driver in unexpected situations: It's almost never the horsepower of a car that makes it dangerous, but the road you drive it on. A car on a flat plane can literally *not* crash. As long as you have enough space, any mistake can be corrected. Hence, my advice: If you intend on driving faster than what can be categorized as regular driving, learn the road first! NEVER try to go fast into an unknown. A simple, unexpected bump or pothole can destroy everything in a matter of seconds

The drivermod is Soooo true. It actually blows my mind how many kids on the internet scoff at 600hp cars as if that’s not an insane amount of power. It is, and it’s not easy to control while driving it hard. People who say 600hp isn’t fast have never driven a car that fast. Even people who regularly drive 700+ hp cars will say that they’re fast and anyone who brags “I’ve driven so many cars with higher hp it feels slow to me” is lying.

[@nicholasn.2883]

Exactly, 270 hp feels like lightning fast and is already hard to control driving hard. Idk how people drive 600+, they must never floor it or get close to the limit.

That last point about driver mod: while I have not taken a class on paper, backroad testing has kept me from some dangerous situations that bad drivers on the road have caused. One: I have had a fully loaded semi decide to merge into me without checking (literally just started moving over as soon as I saw their blinker), and I had to use the sholder heavily to avoid being squashed. This happened at 80mph on the freeway. Two: I've also had to do evasive lane changes from unpredictable cars, and knowing how you and your car handles a sudden lane change is critical.

I can't wait until the "1000HP or bust" scene dissipates. There's been too many times where I mention that I'm aiming for 350hp max for my RX7, and people are shocked and say "bUt WhY nOt 700???" You don't need massive numbers for a quick, fun car. 350hp is PLENTY for a 2200 pound car, especially one that's not being built for straight lines. I want to be able to drive and enjoy my car, not be super cautious and scared it's going to try to kill me any chance it gets. It's currently sitting at about 120hp and its decently quick with just that!

9:41 ROTARIES ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS Reliability is dependant on carbon buildup and oiling.

[@Mu4dD1b15]

Gonna have to hard disagree on the led lights. Most car reflectors, unless they're made for leds, are halogen based which have a totally different light spread design due to less light output. If you want to change your lights to leds, the best thing to do is change the housing as well to one that's designed for leds. Which usually costs at least $200-$300 to get a good one.

[@alanbach8307]

Had to pause the video to make this comment but let's tackle the issue with Halogen/LED and Xenon bulbs. You're on the right track with the blue colour temperatures. The yellow replacement bulbs actually produce a higher lux reading in 'scientific testing' and give better visibility. Every manufacturer will have different colour outputs for the same 4000K or 6500K ratings etc. regardless most people will go for the cooler colour despite them producing less lux output and visibility just for the more modern look as I did with my HIDs. About the LED 'upgrades', I know a lot of new car enthusiasts watch your videos so I would strongly urge them or please make a follow up video on buying the proper replacement bulbs. I see far too many 2010 Honda Civic's, 2008 RAM 1500's, 2008 Ford Explorer's, 2010 Toyota Matrix', the list goes on in my area driving around with cheap LED bulbs from Amazon or AliExpress. The issue with these aftermarket LED bulbs is that have no regulations or standards they need to go by and when put into a reflector housing, the LED chips on the bulb are not in the right places inside the housing (often in excess) and they end up bleeding all over the reflector and you're essentially driving with high beams on 24/7 especially when they are put into bulb locations used as DRLs. With regular OEM/OE replacements from Philips/Osram/Sylvania, whether it'd be filament or LED, the light source hot spot is in the correct spot to the millimetre so the factory headlight whether it'd be halogen or HID xenons can correctly project the light into a 'low beam' and have the correct cutoffs. A lot of people think they have a brighter headlight because they end up seeing reflective signs light up not realizing they are blinding oncoming traffic. In addition to that, most people are using the correct bulb and factory headlights however they don't adjust their headlights after a collision. I had experienced this first-hand after hitting a coyote on the freeway. I used the adjustment screws on my headlight (which every single car has) found a flat parking lot and wall and aligned them from 0 ft - 25 ft. When this is all done correctly, none of your headlight light should hit above in any of the glass area of other vehicles or overhead destination signs.

Trying not to be the aktchually guy but doing so . throttle body spacers can net some gains but not because of some magical response or tumbling bullshit cnc machining as you see in some parts but by changing the plenum volume on your stock intake can modify the powerband although gains wont be 20hp but more like 2/5 and will change on car to car basis (exactly like carb spacers work in some cases and not on onthers) . with that said a ported/bigger throttle body is still a better bang for you buck modification and most of the times you dont even need to pay tons of money on aftermarket ones usualy there are oem options that you can easily get for less money and will be plug and play

Some throttle body spacers have a built-in inlet. Would it be beneficial for nitrous or water methanol?

Totally serious question here, but if my car has upgrades from other cars in it, can I incorporate those into my car's name like a Frankenstein thing? With upgrades my car will be an Intriguing Grand cAMaro.

What are recommended mods for a Mazda 4 banger? I got a cat delete last year and noticed a bit of difference. But i want to see if it's even feasible to try to build more on the engine itself

[@BasEerdenKeuning]

Doesn't add the spacer extra length from the throttle body to the inlet valve, thus creating less throttle response?

[@aidanletterese3099]

also with race pads you have to warm them up before they actually start being able to stop the car with its best performance

SCT tuners are $400, but I'm glad you covered it

Synthetic Oil is the shit. Make sure to get a good filter that will last those 5-10k miles.
