Coilover upgrade on the GTO! In the shop with Emily EP 60

[@bendall2006]

Due to school, I have not been able to watch your episodes for a few months. Now with this COVID-19 pandemic, I have never been happier I have several months of backlogged videos to watch! Love your builds and episodes! The perfect amount of wrenching and funny!

[@flyingsparksgarage]

bendall2006 Sure am grateful you checked back!!! Did you watch the Drag week series?! Soooo freakin rad!!

[@davevickers5789]

I would give anything for my wife to share my hobby/passion/obsession. I love seeing you two work together. I always get the feeling that you two are having fun together. That's awesome!

[@bratpane1]

Oh it would be great...but I'm happy with my wife who supports my passion for cars, while I support her passion for competitive pole dancing!

[@buddyrebel_Garcia]

Divorce her and get you one like Emily! Emily reminds me of my ex girlfriend she’s Mexican, but she’s like white complexion like Emily!

[@N1RKW]

One of the things that keeps me coming back to watch your channel is that you folks are human beings. You make mistakes, show us what you did wrong, and how you fixed them. You keep your cars and actually drive them. Your cars have character, and so do you. You are decent, kind, caring people with a love for turning wrenches. I love the interactions between Emily, Aaron, and Alaia (Edit: And Finlay too!). You manage to put a smile on my face every time I watch your videos. Thank you very, very much.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

N1RKW That sure means a lot to us, thank you!!!!

[@chrismartin6544]

I for one think it’s awesome that both of y’all don’t just abandon your older vehicles and you take the time and effort to update the older stuff and make it modern and badass between Aaron’s Z and Roxy y’all are keeping older stuff cool of course the Z and Roxy are both cool cars to start off with lol

[@markemmanuelrodriguez4323]

I am happy to see Roxy coming along. Forgetting a spring and having to bolt and rebolt stuff because I put things in the wrong order seems to be a common theme my life right now. When I saw the spring I literally gasp and yelled, "No!!!!" Good thing Aaron noticed it!

[@cornflake73]

I love watching Aaron helping you. Like when you are whaling on that wedge pin with that little hammer. being a gentleman that he is he picks up the bigger hammer and hands that to you. As you are putting on parts he is lounging in a chair going through his smartphone stuff. He is a man after my own heart. I hope you know that I am just funning you all.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

cornflake73 It’s quite goofy, we agree!!!

[@MrGaryGG48]

Em, tell Aaron that we understand, "He just lending credence to Emily's feeling of accomplishment when she completes her job!" He not slackin'! ;^)

[@greatnortherntroll6841]

When you left that rear spring in place, I was telling you "No, no Emily... the spring's still there!" but for some reason, you couldn't hear me! Hmmm 🤔 lol Then when you were tightening down the shock mount adaptor, you said "Ugggas" referring to using the impact wrench, and I had to laugh, as that expression (so far as I know, anyway) originated with Eric O, from South Main Auto, way off in upstate New York, then a couple of minutes later, "Tappity tap-tap" danced off your lips. A sure sign of exposure to AvE, from even further north! You're soooooooo adorable, and Aaron is one lucky man, to be loved by you! 😊

[@aaronbrown284]

as an A.S.E. master auto mechanic I can appreciate the hard work and FUN it is to do projects like yours and it is a BLAST to watch ! I live in Ohio where all the cars/trucks die of rust ! but soon I will be moving my family down to TEXAS to make a new RUST free life. keep up the great work I have watched all of Aaron and Emily's Videos and they always have fun! God Bless Y'all

[@philipcollings985]

Love everything about your episodes, especially that cheeky little shoulder flick thing you do on a video intro.

[@AdditionSupplyDepotsRequired]

One of the best GTO content channels out there these days. Thanks for making these. Please include your suspension tuning in your future videos.

[@bigj5337]

Roxy is iconic and I love seeing episodes with her in it! And you and Aaron have so much fun wrenching together! GOD bless you two!

[@longtalltexan9908]

Emily, you're just too excited for those upgrades!!! Lol....I like it!! 👍👍

[@danielfisch655]

Great job and I wish they made a kit for my 24 year old daughters 1993 Subaru Sambar. She's such a handy woman and we love your channel.

[@fredguarino5931]

I cant wait, the next project on mine is coil over conversion too. just rebuilt the rear and realized my rear coils are collapsed completely, got to wait a bit though. a few weeks after doing the rear my pressure plate went limp so I got a new clutch and plate and decided that I might as well do the trans too since second gear syncro was shot also, after pulling it apart found out 4thand 5th gear as well as the main shaft were shot too. finally got the last of the parts to finish it. I also decided it's time to paint my girl too. so its going to be a few more weeks before I'm driving her again. she's a yellow jacket but I'm considering changing her color but not sure yet what color. after 0ver 250,000 miles it might be nice to drive by police without yelling hey look here. lol, can't wait to see what y'all do with the nova

[@HeeHawHighlander]

You three (Finley included) crushed that episode. Very entertaining!

[@davestewart9146]

You guys are awesome, I have a 77 f150 4x4 that I’ve had for 34 years, she’s old and tired but I love her 👍😁

[@litner5640]

No lie, we got our commander a shake weight as a going away gag gift lol haha. I sent this video to him. Thanks for keeping the morale high for this fly boy as he awaits to go home to family.

[@stevenlee92833]

Hallelujah! A Roxy video 😀 thought it was nice that you were sentimental about the miles on the coil spring, no love for the toe-rod though, gotta perform well for a that, best of luck for drag week you guys, have a great time and be safe

[@procharged67]

Been watching this car build for a while now and it looks like youre always upgrading . I know the feeling IT NEVER ENDS.. keep it up guys

[@bigscout1584]

Aaron just got 10,000 likes from me when he threw the last bolt on the ground to join his comrades🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍🔧🔧🔧

[@mrmoss149]

Finley can live a really long life- if you are prepared. He will most likely suffer from a collapsed trach when he is older. My wife's yorkie was one of the first to under go that replacement procedure & Miss Daisy lived an extraordinarily long life thanks to that. FYI. P.S. - As to roxy- SEND IT!!! Love how you guys show your oops moments- we all have them.

[@waynelingle8122]

Awesome to see the GTO back on the channel! Can’t wait to see what all you did to prep it for the track!

[@Slinky108]

I think your old rear-end was pretty nice! Sorry, couldn't resist! Thanks for the video!

[@att0987654321]

Hi Guys, loving the build, I am from the home state of Holden in Adelaide Australia, love seeing the “Monaro/GTO” getting some love!

[@danielmorse8893]

Not downing we love you both and never miss an episode, but the famed week is well over and we are so very excited to to se how you did and we think it's taking a lil to long, as I said love watching you both in the shop just excited. Keep it up and happy dog day Fin.

[@77shoemanable]

Fantastic Channel. You and Aaron are GR8 !!

[@wbball15]

Fun to see KZbin catching up with Instagram posts from the build. Can't wait for Betty sitting in the background.

[@christopherperea397]

You guys inspired me to start working on my truck. I always wanted to but I thought I would mess it up. You guys show your mistakes and don't freek out. Thank you for work and I can't wait to see the next video.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Christopher Perea That means so much to us!!! Thank you!!! Messing up is unavoidable!!

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Cool project. Keep that Holden Minaro/Pontiac alive! Great car, GM should let Australians design and build ALL of their vehicles! Imagine the trucks the Aussies build here in America, win win.

[@RENEGADEX800]

You two are great. I absolutely enjoy watching Flying Sparks Garage!

[@mikejohnson5837]

Great suspension upgrade guys! Can't wait to see the new rear end in place and burnin rubber!

[@chloehennessey6813]

Strange Engineering is like the Super World Series Touchdown of drag racing and Motorsport. I didn’t know that G Force offered Strange products tho! That’s awesome! So long as people learn about Strange I am okay! Also at 9:11 Ems I got a cheap pickle fork from OReilly for like $12. I took it to the lathe and turned down the handle. It came with like two different screw on heads. Anyways I turned it down so it would fit in my pneumatic chisel/hammer. Made taking those off a breeze!

[@lancmac]

Love your videos... good clean wholesome entertainment plus I learn a little too....

[@mr.roush6709]

Love your channel another great video!!! I think it’s so cool you’re doing the GTO you really don’t see any on KZbin

[@robertbarnett3409]

You are doing a great job I can't wait to see the GTO make it's first trip down track after all of your hard work. I am alos looking forward to the new baby please show it on the channel or at least some picks that would be so cool.

[@StottEric]

Love those cars!! I enjoy seeing you keep it and not getting rid of it for something new.

[@mikemullay5622]

That old Pontiac/Holden is really getting some love. Keep the old stuff runnin'. That's what I do.

[@vernm6189]

You and Arron are the funnest Car Couple to watch online, I wish I could have found a woman that wanted to work on and Drive Fast cars in my life. Go Roxie, I hope I see a High 10's or better, Cleetus is using a new Magic slipper clutch, you might want to get one and put in while the engine is out! That's based on reviewing Roxie drag week bog launches, just saying.

[@jw4620]

Good show!!! Thanks!

[@fishingbrad7290]

I love how you have kept your Monaro all these years. Thumbs up.

[@jsilverssilvers9107]

FishingBrad what’s a Monaro?

[@alsenior4809]

Love you guys! Gals =) Happy Thanks Giving!

[@briantanner8711]

Make sure you clean that PB blaster off of your brake rotor with some brakeleen Emily, stay safe.

[@Joeshomegarage]

FYI G-Force recommends welding the coilover extensions to the car. My buddies broke going down the highway. There's a lot of stress on them from deleting the springs.

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Boosted GTO Yes!! We did! We just did it later when we were caging the car- our welder was out of gas so we couldn’t do it right after we installed them!

[@Joeshomegarage]

Good stuff! Just want you to be safe with all that new power! LOL

[@thomasmontalbanojr9159]

I love watching you guys work on the GTO. Not enough informative videos or at least well shot videos of people working on the GTO out there. Also, congrats on the new addition to the family. Here’s to a healthy mommy and baby.

[@65Coasty]

Great vid guys. Its like working on my own car but 10,000 miles away.

[@MidnightSmoke]

Thank You, I learn so much about my GTO watching Y'all work on Roxy. I named my Eowyn

[@flyingsparksgarage]

David Armstrong I’m so glad!!! You learn what not to do in most instances 😂😅😝

[@davidowen888]

Em & Aron love all your episodes 💕

[@flyingsparksgarage]

David Kelm appreciate it David!!

[@32775jason]

Love the show!!!!!

[@BBob33524]

I have the BC kit and it works great. Cant wait to see your review on the g force!

[@erictompkins8226]

Aaron needs a few customized slash shirts like Emily's. Fair is Fair.

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Magic Finley *POOF !***10:50** - **10:55** *POOF !* Great to see Roxy evolve some more !

[@GiveMeYoSammich]

Just picked up my black 05 gto with 27k miles a month ago and the car is so nostalgic of my first car which was a grand prix, I nicknamed her shella just cause she's an aussie car 😂

[@Cool_Retro]

Roxy's coming together nicely. I can't wait for the next episode!

[@ericcorse]

Aaron's sense of humor tickles me.

[@brendonchase9460]

I enjoyed..."I love this couple". Can't wait for the next vlog with ROXY. get it. 1

[@FabiusMaximus1000]

It is so satisfying seeing a project come together.

[@buddyroper1174]

[@-SF1-]

So cute with that cap on

[@tacoma5543]

The Goat would look bad ass with those mini tubs!

[@davidpeterson6147]

I can't wait to see if Roxy still has the awesome idle chop it used to once the new engine is installed.

[@xozindustries7451]

Lookin good guys!

[@ronaldhagadorn5512]

Such a beautiful couple! I love your vids!

[@alexsolis8176]

Buen trabajo. Keep it up

[@mickburns5546]

I like how you always comment on parts being assembled in Australia. I live in Australia and own an old Pontiac from your side of the world. 🤠

[@jmantooth]

Lmao! I don't know how many times I have installed something on a car, only to have to take it back off. You took it in stride though! My reaction always includes a lot of expletives, with an airborne wrench or two. Great vid as always!

[@xbrod7827]

Loved then Australian reference to torque settings uggahs but you for got the dougers.uggah duogers

[@2gnospam]

Nice things!

[@70sstreetracergal61]

Hotdiggitydog! Roxy getting some new bling and us girls LOVE that 😁👍🏻❤️🤘🏻

Great episode can't wait to see more

[@gasratzcustoms]

Nice upgrade!!!!

[@mattbenna5930]

Awesome 👍

[@Johnnygee33_official]

Hey Roxy love the car. I got a gto a couple years ago with this suspension but can’t figure out where I should be for the coil over adjustments. Is there anyway u can share was ur current settings are on the. How much compression rebounds and preload. Thanks so much

[@agentcrm]

Interesting coil over mount. Most kits here are 2 piece and use the stock locations.

[@shanewright6958]

Another great video 👍👍

[@jamesmcdonald1080]

just wanna say i lost my bearings in my rearend at 60k with just mild bolt ons...so ya you guys are lucky. but im like you emily i have a 2005 GTO...impulse blue, im at 77k on her now. I love your vids keep up the great work!!!

[@flyingsparksgarage]

James McDonald Hey GTO fam!!!! Yeah, we were lucky with this rear end!! It treated us well 🤓

[@chrisrogde393]

Looks like you two are havin some fun! Can you say how you did at drag week? Or is that a future episode? Also seen a couple pictures in Hot Rod of you two.

[@IIIRotor]

those shocks a sweet, running those in my little track monster

[@49breal]

I've had my GTO since I bought it new in 04! Love that thing! BTW, do those coilovers allow for a wider wheel? Or do you still have to tub it/roll fenders. I don't want to do either haha

[@dougscustomcargarage3434]

Blooper episode lol Love watchin this build

[@nbrowser]

Dang it...ya'll are just awesome! Also, nice to see some serious Roxy wrenchin...she's gettin so much better with all the new botox stuff! 😀

[@doug.patterson4732]

Aaron is very lucky to have a wife that shares his love of hotrods

[@tonybastien3692]

Love your videos.

[@gmt400lifestyle4]

So bad ass!! I wish my wife would do garage projects... ❤️

[@dennismorgan2230]

Love your content! Keep it up! HELL YEAH!

[@andrescervantes5510]

I was going to do the coilovers… but now that I see the tank has to come out, na I’m good lol

[@ZL1-Jeremy]

I’m a little late to the party, but I’m about to do this shock and toe rods install. Can you offer any tips on assembling the coilovers without scratching them? And a good baseline for settings on ride height and compression/rebound? Thank you, love the car btw

[@flyingsparksgarage]

Heyyyy! Gosh, it’s been so long now I have to conjure memories 🤣 I don’t have a memory of scratching the coil springs while installing them so it may have no been an issue for me? And I didn’t move my adjustment on my shocks and it was at a great spot… if yours don’t perform to your liking you can shoot me a message on IG and I’ll get under Roxy and send you snaps of where mine are adjusted 🤠

[@ZL1-Jeremy]

@@flyingsparksgarage thank you for the help. I’ve looked on ls1 gto forums and they all scratched theirs bad. I’m thinking spring compressor and toolbox mat for cushion. They do say they come preset nice but I figured since you’ve raced yours there’s probably been adjustments made. Very soon we shall see. Gto community is the best community.

[@Cacowninja]

I got a question, um where you guys buy your gloves and how do you know which repairs require you to wear them for protection and which ones don't?

[@carlstout4546]

thank you !!!! thats neet/
