Building the Ultimate Street Class Evo - Ep 1: Drivetrain

[@speedacademydave]

Correction: the Evo9 is the best car you’ve ever owned until you bought a MR2 Spyder 😂

[@GearsandGasoline]

I stand corrected

Yes dude. I have evo s2k, and mr2! Zzw30 best

i miss my evo =/ i went from 87 camero 383 stroker - 68 Nova 454 big block- 84 mustang 5.4 - civic on civic on civic- Monte carlo ss- Evo- Passat beater- GTI stage 2+ the current daily lol

[@UrbanWrench]

Honestly, the reason gears and gasoline has a place in my heart is cause it’s beautifully shot as well as informative! Tall Ben, hope you have a great season ahead, Short Ben, we missed you .

[@solaryellowis3007]

Its honestly better than a lot of car television shows and that’s what gets me coming back every time.

[@BionicBear13]

@@solaryellowis3007 completely agree

[@I.LikeCars]

Same, the quality of production is impeccable

[@USA__WILL]

I have no idea why other car channels have way more subscribers with way less cinematography and car related education. Eg. B is for built, rich rebuilds, SamCrac, tavarish among others.

[@ZtuneR97]

@@USA__WILL majority just wanted "easy to watch and understand" content to watch

How Jon was able to explain differentials so that even a smooth brain like me can understand, I'll never be able to know. Love ya work

[@gluewilldo2880]

I’m going to use the word “smooth brain 🧠 “ for the rest of my life thank you kind sir 😂

[@nastystew6942]

He's built my Evo three times! I track mine as well

[@FrickenHamster]

The only thing I don't quite agree is that cost isn't the only reason stock cars don't come with Clutch based LSDs. I recently put a 2way in my drift car. Those LSDs aren't made for the average daily driver. I got treated clutch disks, so they are quieter than most, but based on how I apply throttle, it still clunks and burns rubber. In wet conditions, it can be dangerous to drive. It also requires regular maintenance with a similar oil change interval as engine oil. Compared to my gear based sti, the sti is a brainless LSD that won't affect daily driving and requires no real maintenance.

[@malikgarland1853]

I’ve found that experts in something can explain the different aspects of their field/expertise so well that a 14 year old could understand it. When you truly know the ins and outs of what you’re doing, you can break it down to its simplest components and build it back up to help a smooth brain understand not only what’s what, but why

[@drevnykot]

@@FrickenHamster also planetary diffs (relatives to early quattro systems) are better in loose surface when you don't actually want to go full throttle and EVO is knwn from rallying on loose surfeces, not on tracks

[@boxr_4214]

the whole segment in the TRE shop was amazing! beautifully shot with every detail coming together tied in with the background music felt so cool.

[@AaronAbbotttheoncomingstorm]

I would honestly watch an hour+ long video of Jon Ripple talking about transmissions and differentials.

[@imacahguy]

Just go pay him a visit some time haha.

[@janisripple754]

I’m Jon Ripples Mom We are amazed as well - but not really it all started with Tinker Toy -Wooden toy set making gears ❤

[@Foosa]

I reeeally like how the editor works with music and sounds. Shout out to that guy!

[@oregonfelder1]

2nd time listening to Jon talk. The way he explains the mechanics of transmissions and differentials…. Why would anyone want to skip ahead. Those 6 or so minutes are pure gold.

[@janisripple754]

My son is am amazing 🤩 TRE -aNd Deep Knowledge Jon Shares ❤

[@tomfurie2996]

The amounts of skilled hand machine work was artistry.

[@mil3486]

the "how are things with my 400whp Evo" is and always will be my favourite video you guys have made and the video before that everything had the perfect videography and music made me excited to look at my car the same way as when I first sat in it at home after buying it. I've not felt that high since watched that video 10+ times easily

[@sheneedsyrruup]

Videos like that boost my crush for Japanese cars. 💜

[@janisripple754]

And my pride in Jon Ripple of TRE my son 🎉

[@sarahdell4042]

It’s nice to see EVO still being used on track. Sorta miss the few I’ve owned. Team RIP Engineering rocks. I’ve had them do various work years and years ago.

[@kylefultz]

It was so cool seeing you at VIR! It’s crazy seeing my car @ 3:26. Great driving out there Ben!

[@fatimarose]

[@SL4PSYM4XY]

Chopin was a great choice. Watching them work was like watching a master crafter jeweler. So amazing.

[@brandont6767]

Walnut or Dry ice blasting the under carriage would be a nice touch 👌🏻 but super knowledgeable people with lots of insight

[@dylanmendes5093]

If you skip Jon you're missing out big time. Anyone can learn from this man, homies an automotive savant

[@imacahguy]

Hes just a knowledge savant. Hell give you a 30 min speech on how the pyramids were built by aliens. Ask me how i know.

[@rickmcintosh3570]

Dude in the red hat with the glasses, is the 🐐. He needs his own channel. That differential walkthrough was A class.

[@imacahguy]

John has this unique ability to make wasting your day away feel like a enducation class.

[@janisripple754]

That’s my amazing Son Jon - As Car and Driver reporter who came to his shop said -Jon Knows more about Transmissions then a human should know And that was At least 10 years ago -a teacher as well❤

[@_andytang_]

I kinda understood how diffs work... Now I know! Like an automotive Ted Talk, great to hear from knowledgeable people who can explain complexity simply.

[@shekharbahuguna9475]

Jon knows about differentials. It's so good to listen a master speaking his art.

[@healychen]

Highly artisanal stuff here. Love it.

[@zodspeed]

Out off all YT channels I mostly look forward to G&G uploads… easily my favorite channel

[@jonathanxtapia]

The amount of detail provided in this video was a great way for my Sunday morning. More of these types of videos please including the Civic. I love seeing the workshop detail and explanations to their reasons. Excellent video!!

[@justinlau6865]

Mark with the CookOut Shake! Amazing

[@RealPunkie]

Never expected to hear Chopin's Revolutionary Etude in a Gears anf Gasoline video, but it happened :) Amazing production quality, keep up the good work! Cheers from Hungary! :)

[@randolphsmith7552]

I love when you guys get technical with your vids and show how these shops improve car parts and performance.

[@mfelipetc]

I never thought I needed a complex piano piece during a LSD workshop. You guys are amazing, aways pushing the bar up!

[@mcbr3b]

this video had a different feel than all the previous ones... huge production quality increase even Ben's talks had new vibe, not just the experts... keep it up! :) awesome

[@ethankraus8529]

The dude explaining lsd’s did a great job dumbing down how lsd’s work! What a cool dude, you can tell he would be the type of teacher or professor that people learn better from since he just knows how to not talk like a robot

[@janisripple754]

Copy that and send to Jon please-his moma

[@lordraiden5398]

I remember my first drive in my 02' WRX with a 07' STi 6speed. First corner I took under power felt amazing. Totaly transformed the car for two reasons. 2nd gear in the WRX 5 speed is too tall. On slow speed corners engine is so low in rev range it just bogs on corner exit plus the front is a open diff. 2nd gear on a STi trans is perfect for low speed corners. It keeps the car higher in the rev range and with the addition of a LSD it just grips and goes. Best modification made.

[@rsxfever3230]

How do you guys not have 1Million subscribers yet?!?! I absolutely love your videos and watch every one of them. They are fun, informative, and just all around good. Keep up the amazing work!

It's a classical music piece from Chopin called the Revolutionary Etude.

john talks differentials was the best part of the video

[@The_Redkween]

[@noty6307]

I just love Evo contents

[@PANTYEATR1]

That tech talk was masterful! I do my own rear gears on my rear wheel drive vehicles. My mustang has a Detroit tru-trac LSD which is helical gears. I wasn't exactly sure how it worked, but i knew i wanted it. Mainly cause there's no clutches to wear out and it seems more robust. Maybe a good clutch set up is just as good. I would have liked to hear them talk a little bit more about the 2 way LSD and the 3 way LSD and how they work. 💪

[@jvepps]

Very informative. Dude speaks clearly.

[@MD-pz3cn]

Evo and STi content woo! It's awesome to watch people who are masters at their craft. Learned something new today.

[@Pleefs]

not too many mechanics explain in this detail please keep the educational content coming

[@imacahguy]

If anyone has ever actually met John from TRE in person like me, you know just how funny the "tech talk" timer is. Almost spit my coffee out when i saw that come up.

[@GearsandGasoline]

That was a 40 minute interview I cut down to 7 minutes lol

[@imacahguy]

@@GearsandGasoline oh I don't doubt it one bit. Had my full drivetrain built by the TRE guys. (Trans, T case, rear diff). Even had an LSD put in the front similar to yours. And an evo 9 input shaft put in my 8 for a longer 1st gear. John spent 20 minutes explaining the maganflux process alone. What I thought was going to be a quick dropoff for service turned into nearly 2 and a half hours of him explaining the entire build to me. A wealth of information inside his head and I couldnt be happier with his work.

[@janisripple754]

Jon Ripple is our son We couldn’t be prouder of his work , Work Ethic Teaching Skills and he is Kindness . Love Arron too .!

[@MultiAlex1530]

[@turbo_brian]

Helicals are better in some applications. Usually for the rear since weight transfer goes to the back helical differentials are better. They're torque based as opposed to speed differential based so in low grip applications it does a better job of finding the wheel with more grip while still utilizing the grip available on the other wheel.

[@raiuwu]

DAYUMMM mark glowed up!!
