Dude i dont know how you dont have a million subscribers by now. The way you format your videos, and add your advice and personal experience into them, makes the quality of your videos like no other. I learn something new every time i watch one of your videos and especially this one, not only entertained, but i feel inspired as the video ends and it keeps me wanting more. Especially the camping trip, and “live like your dying”. beautiful video, thanks prizzamike!

You and franny should make more camping videos/narrating videos with your wisdom 🙏

[@crystalcactuis.w]

Yep I don't mind if they don't do well the real ones will stick around

[@Killboy351c]

The left turn noise might be the tire rubbing on the brake hose to hard line bracket. When you had the wheel off the leading edge of it looked shiny. Worth a look. Love the channel!

[@seanvatza4728]

I gotta say you’re one of my favorite creators anymore. Not just because your build depths are crazy, and you actually care about the cars in their own respect, But your videos make me miss being younger and miss a lot of my friends who’ve moved. The garage hangs, adventures, building cars, and living every moment in the way it deserves. Every video is like a trip down memory lane for me.

[@Katsinum]

Just about every single thing about this video was relatable. I replaced the steering rack recently only to find later that my column is cooked too. There's always something I guess. Love the merch and all your positivity while staying real. I just needed this video right now.

[@owldude9581]

Oh man, that ending part was exactly what I needed to hear at the point I'm at. Especially the part about how being bored forces you to be creative. Thank you, Mike!

[@crystalcactuis.w]

That should be his quote of the year

[@stitchy329]

Dude, the ending speech was the best honestly. With how life has being going on this end, and how things seem to pass by faster than ever for nearly everyone's lives, it's always a breath of fresh air when allowing yourself to disconnect from any media even if just for a little bit. Almost like allowing nature to tell you to slow down, in my opinion. Also just thought to mention - since I didn't see anyone else point it out - that not having the usual outro music play at the end of the video and just having the sounds of nature in the clip of the campsite felt refreshing (nothing against the song though ofc :P) Keep up the awesome work! Keep it real 🤘

[@HAunderscoreVE]

I personally love to use the white paint marker for bolts. Just a simple line from the bolt to the surrounding area, and you can immidiately tell if its tight or not. Plus, that way you can immidiately tell if you tightened a bolt or not (as someone suffering from ADHD, its a god-send, i always get distracted and end up re-tightening all the bolts :( ) Also, high zinc oils are good. Zinc forms a protective layer over the wear surfaces, its why old V8s with flat-tappet lifter type of cam setups need high zinc oils or the cam gets eaten by the lifters. I personally use 10W-40 Castrol Magnatec, diesel variant. Mainly because I have a TDI, but also the diesel variants of oils used to have more zinc in them, not sure if thats the case today though.

[@ostap_frost7898]

I really like end credits without any music, so nice and piecefull. Should really do it more often

[@nickhunsecker826]

Hey Mike, check the preload on the rack to take out some of that slop, and I had a similar creak in my 240 which I found it to be a wheel bearing. It wouldn’t happen when going straight, only when turning. Btw love the content, and I had to cop those limited edition Ts! Keep up the work you’ve inspired me to rebuild a 240 shell from scratch and make my own wheel tubs and I used your video as a guide.

[@blakeerdmann]

You passed by me off County Farm and St. Charles rd. I was tempted to catch up to you to see the 300 in person. Keep it up man, awesome build!

[@official_Quube]

Mike is such an amazing motivational speaker. I'm glad to be apart of this community since its one of the best ones. Mike seems like such a genuine and kind person. Thank you for your videos, I love watching them, Ive been watching every single video you posted since the start of the 240sx rebuild series. You truly are my favourite KZbinr

[@stephenmonticello1276]

keep up the good work dude love how you keep it real about everything i feel like a lot of youtubers don’t go over merch like telling you if the shirts come out alittle short and you have to up size a lot of youtubers don’t tell you that. and you waste your money on something you’ll put in the dryer once and never wear again

[@PicklesFishing]

Mike and Jimmy Oakes are literally the only two car channels I really watch anymore, but I gotta say every time you upload, I make sure to watch the video ASAP! I learn so much and I’m inspired by you. Keep being your rad self, spreading genuine good vibes and dope builds!

[@drfirebug]

Good life lessons for my favorite car KZbinr. Getting off your phone and allowing yourself back into nature does heal you. I appreciate that section of the video more than you know. Also thank you for the inspiration on continuing my personal car project, a 3000GT VR-4. I have my work cut out for me as I'm a total noob, but seeing you do all of what you do keeps me going. I wish you were in in the southern US, I'd lend a hand any day. Stay awesome.

[@within_cells]

I used to be so into cars when I was younger. Watching your videos (especially the crash resto playlist) has reignited that for me again. Planning a front suspension rebuild for my civic thats about to hit 150k miles. Thanks for your content and thanks for being a super genuine person.

[@Ruben_Ruben__]

i love this channel man.. the camping part and stuff you said about the phone and being bored: since a few days i started thinking at the same thing, having every single second of the life occupied by something, kills slowly your brain, makes you too much tired

[@joespeedyfpv]

"The way to be creative is to be bored" hits hard and is so true.

[@patrickbruijsten2831]

those life lessons at the end are a good one for everyone, i drive a truck for a living so i spent a lot of time at night in the cab just doomscrolling over and over untill i got to a point i wanted to be bored because this is not what i am. so i promised myself to park up every night in a way that i can go for a stroll and learn or see the region im at for the night. im not doomscroll free yet but ie been walking a lot of miles since then and jsut enjoying nature/scenery/towns. itś soothing. so thanks again for the great video and take care, itś a good thing you went back to nature, pumping out vids can be stressfull.

[@issa_ei8ht]

Shirt: bought Man I always feel the need to get back to nature. It’s so nice. That’s the true vacation. Once rented a cabin a couple miles from the tail of the dragon. And to sit next to a rushing river, sipping whiskey, and listening to fast vehicles pass….that was a dream come true. If every day could be that way….. mannnnnnnn

[@PrizzaMike]

Dude that sounds like a great idea for a get away! Appreciate the support 🤝

[@colgate41]

Love your videos. I stumbled across your page maybe six months ago when my 3 year old wanted to watch a “junkyard video” as we ate breakfast. Since then we’re both hooked. Keep up the awesome work and thank you!

[@AlexanderCoxOfficial]

Hope to see more nature adventures Mike. Honestly I’ve recently started being off my phone less and less and I find I’m worrying less about the time I’ve lost and more about what I’ve done and I feel so much better mentally. I’m glad someone else is going through the same thing that I’ve done 😂😂❤

[@PrizzaMike]

That's awesome, proud of you man. Seems the phones have just become a normal everyday thing, sometimes we may overlook the negative aspects of them

[@Incaensio]

I use the supertech full synthetic. Project farm tested it to be pretty much the exact same oil as pennzoyl platinum.

[@AlteredCarbons]

see, a lot of youtuber's don't build project cars... they build cars, and either do nothing with them and move onto the next one (goonsquad, love em, but honestly wish they would do ANYTHING with their cars) or do something with them, like racing, doing a cruse, or just enjoying their car (young static comes to mind) he builds them uses them and then flips them.

[@sir_wheat_thins]

mann, I really wanna hop on that merch drop like the one with the Gloria, sadly someone hit + ran my car in a parking lot and caved in the rear quarter and it's likely totaled (and not feasible for me to fix on my own) so funds are gonna be super tight until i get this fixed/replaced edit: also! careful using metal utensils on nonstick pans like that, the metal can scratch away at the nonstick coating messing up the pan and also scraping the coating into your food

[@PrizzaMike]

Aw man, I'm so sorry to hear about your car, hopefully it'll all work out soon for you And great point with the non stick!

[@bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu1981]

You can ask to check nearby store’s security cameras to see the car that hit yours , yeah I understand having your car get totaled is like putting salt on a shotgun wound

[@sir_wheat_thins]

@@bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu1981 oh I have security camera footage of it happening actually, sadly can't get the plate or anything but their face is in the video and the police + my insurance has a copy

[@xil_ef8829]

The non stick material is probably no problem in your food. Its non stick because it doesn't react with anything, so it doesn't start any reactions in you body. But still your pan won't work as good so keep in mind

[@DJKr15py]

​@@xil_ef8829Teflon is a polymer so technically you're adding more microplastics to your body.

[@MedekTheOne]

I love to watch these kind of troubleshooting videos as well, every time you upload a video of any kind I always feel more motivated to go out and keep wrenching on my own car, keep it up!

[@thomssllttrr]

Thanks for these simple reminders of life Mike! I loved the camping part of the video, the peace and quiet is very relaxing

[@SonNguyen-mk2wq]

Your channel and build is just real and genuine. I'm staring at my own MR2 Spyder that needs a paint job, coilovers, prob K swap in a few years and I know it'll take time. All the others channels would have had the Z wide bodied (twice) by now, dropped a $50k engine, and had moved on to modding their "barn find" Zonda, and "world's cheapest" Chiron. Keep it up dude!

[@gateaccess818]

@08:06, where your brake line attaches to the chasis wiht the metal clip. that bracket shows signs of wearing, when your wheel is compressed into wheel and full lock imsure your tires is catching on that tab. at least that is was it apears to be to me.

[@PrizzaMike]

I does appear like this, I agree, however I previously grinded that bracket down to allow for clearance. I should have mentioned that, my bad!

[@jakemaxwell1089]

​@PrizzaMike but wasn't that gap for different rims at that time

[@completefemboyr.n.g1308]

Cant wait to see the black z next to the green z, it's going to looks so cool the body kitted and stock! Chefs kiss

[@fujlian]

I had to cop some merch after watching, the inspire tee with the 240sx in the back and the 300zx "Live Like Your dying" tee. But how are you going to fix the teg's rust if you will? I'm just curious. Love from Atlanta mike ❤‍🔥

[@Redwheelsarecool]

Prizza mike is hands down the realest dude on car youtube rn. Please keep it up dude i seriously look forward towards ur vids as an escape from stress. You also motivate me to work on my car 😂

Wanted to say thanks for being real and honest. I am from an older generation and sometimes get sour about the future but your perspective and spirit bring joy to my soul. Keep on keeping on!

[@rickybailey3138]

Your passenger tire is rubbing on the mount for the brake line (hard line to rubber) when turned left to lock and the weight is transferred to that side!

Project cars will always be 20% running good and 80% of the time something is making a noise and replacing but thats how u learn and makes it fun

Camping trip looks sooooo good. I can’t wait for summer to roll in. Z looks awesome btw

[@Cobra_427]

I feel like most people aren't a fan of the flames because the car's in an unfinished state and they're a little out of place at the moment, even though flames aren't my personal taste I can appreciate cars that have them, a lot of work went into that hood and I love to see it incorporated with the build

[@elroyscheepers6306]

Your channel definitely has something that most channels miss besides the relatable projects its the small dimes that you drop whether about car projects or life which is also relatable keep up the good work 💪

Man this quality and voice over at the end is the best💯 missed the car meet due my Z being down, hopefully one day i meet you

[@oxXEdwardsXxo]

Get allot of inspiration from you mate. Kickstarted my 180sx project and get the ball rolling again. Keep it up. Always love the content.

[@zackstretch5621]

Man that 19:37 onwards deserves an array of film awards, these videos are amazing

[@luckgrip252]

Regarding the creaking sound while turning left could also be a wheel bearing since it is quite shot and must be replaced as soon as you can. If that doesn't fix your issue, then yeah, rack might be an issue since it does have some play in it from what you showed. In the end about the advice, I do agree on that the social media is taking way too much time off of our days and we really don't notice that. I felt the same when I went on a trip to Poland, Zakopane (from Latvia, Riga) for a week, that vacation felt like a month, but in a good way, will go back soon, this time for 2 weeks.

[@StreetDayAuto]

I would rock that hood just because the paint job is so good. The weave showing through the fade is really cool.

[@ChevyLivin710]

@prizzamike take brake rotor off and spin the hub with hand on back side of knuckle to feel how the hub bearing feels. When turning left the weight of car shifts more to front right wheel so that could be why it only makes noise one way. I got a good feeling you just need to replace both front hub bearings. N led upgrades for the win!

[@PrizzaMike]

Good call! I'll try that out
