Cream Z Giveaway Ep. 2: Coilovers & Wheels!

[@AdamLZ]

Since this video was filmed on the first day I didn't have an opportunity to answer some of your questions/concerns from the comments section in the last video. I'll try to do that right here :) -I know you guys don't like the door handles/emblems. I'll pick up some stock silver ones and swap them out. Easy enough :p -This car is intended as a SIMPLE DRIFT CAR. Hence the welded diff. I'm trying to keep it road legal (hence keeping the cats) so someone can drive it to and from the track without buying a truck/trailer. You can ABSOLUTELY daily a car with a welded diff (most people that complain have never driven one in their life). You just make some chirping noises in parking lots/gas stations - other than that you barely notice it. Tire wear is barely noticable (lets be honest you'll be drifting them off before you could tell) and so long as you have a good alignment and decent tires the car isn't sketchy at all in the rain. You see us driving our cars with welded diffs EVERYWHERE. lol -The purpose of this car isn't to compete with other builds or other raffles/giveaways that youtubers have done. I wanted to do a budget based, bare essentials, drift car to show people how easy it is to build a reliable car and get into drifting. I obviously have no use for another drift car so that's where the giveaway/sweepstakes thing came about. It's timed up with our slowest season with clothign orders to help keep our employees busy so they can get the hours they need. It's tough working for a business where there are massive fluctuations in demand. -Unfortunately all 3 prizes are US only (350z, cosmis wheels, & BC coilovers). It's not just the delivery that was the issue (I would have been down to ship the car anywhere in the world) it's the complications of customs and the extra steps of having to write the rules in each countrys language as well as register it in their country. This is intended to be a quick, fun, simple series and if it continued escalating in complexity and getting delayed I probably would have abandoned it. -Yes the car is salvage title - to make a point that these cars can be found RIDICULOUSLY cheap. However - it's very important that you know why the car was given a salvage title and make sure it's not structural. This particular car has a "theft recovery" title where essentially someone stole it, the insurance company paid the original owner off, and then the car was found with a locked up motor. Le chic put a 80,000 mile 2004 motor/trans in it and got it inspected. The car is really dialed and we're going to find any weak links and fix them up. -I'll continue to add little notes here as I see common questions present themselves to hopefully clear anything up

[@EllisR6]

Paint the grill black, maybe add white tire letters

[@blazers12369]

Ellis lyon Yesss

[@blazers12369]

Or just paint them black

[@KLB22]

Do your Best Adam it's Great no matter What!

[@kobeultreras6474]

Adam LZ hey Adam, I have a question, how to you blur the back like you do ok your thumbnail

[@goswellmike]

4:25 lefty loosey. Righty tighty. Happens the the best of us when in a hurry

[@AdamLZ]

HAHAHA i suck

[@davidgentle567]

Mikkie Goswell i saw that too lol

[@meterora9332]

+Adam LZ kek

[@samuelvazquez7018]

Probably why it "stripped" lol

[@goswellmike]

I really didnt want to call you out but it was all in good fun. I'm just stoked I got a reply from the man him self!!!!

[@kiernandeighan7876]

Put the front gril on the 350z black

[@EllisR6]

Kiernan Deighan I thought the same when he got it painted

[@RATM4EVER22]

my thoughts exactly it will make it look so much better. To much tan

[@JonathanPalenik]

same

[@genterasaki86]

Ehm ... no

[@Zark-Muckerberg]

and replace the z badges with factory ones. The black/cream looks horrible on 'em.

[@haydenallen888]

The reason the rear bolts didn't want to come out was because you were tightening them not loosening them righty tighty lefty loosy

[@darraghwalker]

Hayden Allen 😂😂😂 read this comment while he was doing it so bad 😂

[@BiagioBaller]

GREAT COMMENT HAYDEN

[@agoogleuser7784]

Lol was hoping someone mentioned this

[@EURORehabTV]

Ok so im not the only one that saw that lol even impact couldnt get it off he says lol its ok anyone that actually works on they own car has done this especially when working upside down

[@PhillTheVwGuru]

Like come on!! He probably did it on purpose or some shit to advertise the bolt extracter... everything with this moron is advertisements

[@ginescostaa]

You should give away a peanut butter jelly pizza with the Z

[@spike4850]

byGiNeSiToX Bananas omg absolutely! (At least 1)

[@jgordon7719]

Banana split

[@shona5512]

Throwback to Bert cracking eggs on a BMX peg.

[@dylanward2083]

Tbt to when Adam actually rode bmx

[@sebatt4939]

Throwback to nicoles peppers

[@eaglesface123]

Yea at 4:28 when you where trying to remove the rear shocks it looks like you where tightening it

[@scantton4809]

He figured that out from someone else. It happens, I once was trying to fix my atv and I was really tired. I tried to take the bolt off for the chain cover. I tightened it really tight and I still thought I loosened it. I ended up taking a drill and drilling out the bolt. 😅😅

[@McFarlo]

You should get an "LZ" emblem made to replace the "Z" badges on the fenders! Would be a cool touch.

[@o8508]

McFarlo THANKS FOR COPYING MY COMMENT

[@McFarlo]

Olli Brown I didn't read any comments before posting it. Lol.

[@PortfolioAutomotive]

Tuck the rear bumper... looks WAY better. Cool project and nice work!

[@fakealexstrong]

SIGMOND what is that?

[@PortfolioAutomotive]

Alex MkvTurbo it’s where you take the middle flap that makes the two exhaust holes... fold and fasten it up so it make one opening instead of two

[@kingalmighty3847]

On a stock bumper though not that after market one lol

[@RamblinGarage]

Give it to TJ and maybe he can learn to drift.

[@Jake-ds9sw]

Ramblin' Garage He already has a Z idiot😂

[@RamblinGarage]

Jaskey but he can't drift, so maybe he needs this one.

[@absolutelynot9823]

Ramblin' Garage yeah he can lol better than this stooge

[@allencruz4915]

TJ is pretty good at drifting considering how little seat time he’s had.

[@RamblinGarage]

Yeah I know, he's not bad, I just think it's funny sometimes how many drift mods he makes and how little seat time he has. Just joking around.

[@robinson156]

All of the people saying that Adam should do this every month or something along that line need to chill. Cars aren’t cheap and Adam is doing this because he has some free time on his hands and he’s showing his appreciation of the growth of the LZ community. He doesn’t OWE us this car whatsoever, or any other cars. All that he really owes us is his gratitude and thanks for the growth of the channel and amount of people watching. So how about we be thankful for this crazy build and try not to be as greedy?

[@Dj.maddox89]

You were tightening the rear top strut mount! That's why it wouldn't come off :)

[@shannonzele5623]

The separate rear spring and strut is better for the Z33 than a true coilover. To adjust the height properly you use the spring seat. The stroke, adjusted by the damper mount should be dictated by desired suspension travel. Preload is only achieved by extending the spring length beyond the damper extension.

[@JavierGonzalez-ie6ir]

make the badge black

[@broodo1]

If you mean the side badges I agree. The trunk & hood badges are already black.

[@yamumsabadger]

Door handles aswell!!! Who ever thought of color matching door handles AND badges to the body of a car. YEUCK

[@justinclayborn7120]

It looks like you where tightening the rear strut bolts instead of loosening. Happens to best of us! Keep up the good work Adam!!

[@eugenebrndnable]

Idc what ppl say but that car is a nice giveaway n can b customize to your liking

[@IamDylin]

Exactly! Which is the entire point here. He's keeping it simple and universal so anyone can win/drive it and if you win it's up to you to update and upgrade to fit your personal taste. These people are nuts.

[@benjaminkaplan9142]

350z's are really a hit or miss. I really like this one however. It just looks sooo clean with the white rims. I also really love the whole budget build idea. Everyone is aiming at high power and extensive body/chassis work. Thats stuff really racks up a good dollar. This shows that anyone can get into drifting or even just building a simple project car. Keep up the awesome work Adam!

[@YostBuilt]

my drift car is looking mighty fine! cant wait to win

[@scantton4809]

If you actually win I will die in laughter!!!

[@YostBuilt]

JokerProductions would be funny and ill keep it in orlando and slide the shit out of it

[@Dmonsterparedes0625]

the bottom nut on the knuckle is typically the best place to start when doing suspension or even axles

[@Stewythemech]

What if you can't afford anything on the website

[@kevinvazque6138]

Then u dont get the car-_-

[@mansukii2283]

Damn sucks to be u

[@dylangriffith3644]

If you read the rules on the website you can actually mail in something on an index card in an envelope and it gets you 1 entry per envelope

[@siggi9898]

Well, you probably could not afford to maintain a drift car anyway

[@stoutbolt8876]

If you can't afford ten bucks, how can you afford to own a car?

[@donpetillo9138]

Wow. U are the first person doing the money to offset the prize. That is totally sick Adam. Wow im really blown away by that.

[@StrangerOfficial]

I think every build vid on the 350z deserves a test donut 😂

[@lowres_144p]

Heat and penetrating oil are your best friend dude. If you put a bit of valve grinding compound on the socket, it helps grip the head of the nut/bolt too.

[@haydenallen888]

Waiting for the LZ double clip like

[@LexxD3]

You didn't need to drill the top of strut mount. Just take the cap off the BC pigtails with a hex and screw it back on after sliding the pigtail through small hole.

[@purifieddemon9127]

Good thing i have notifications on my sub box doesn't show u uploaded this?!?!

[@jdm3gee14]

When you do the back pads and rotors, go with the gold box on the brake pads. They're made by Bosch. They SHOULD be a bit better than the yellow box pads shown for drifting as far as OEM parts go. That's assuming the person that wins uses the handbrake a lot and doesn't add a piggy back second caliper. Loving the series so far.

[@haydenallen888]

Remember Adam Righty Tighty Lefty Loosey

[@MikeyPalumsted]

4:28 oops

[@OhMyProvision]

Haha I saw that too... hmm

[@lockjawjak]

Poly bushings make swapping coils so much easier, no preload on the bushes like with stock rubber ones!

[@because1375]

I wish you could’ve done the giveaway on a worldwide scale. I know why you can’t but it’s a bummer. I was excited to enter as well. Hopefully you can do a RHD giveaway in the next few years at a worldwide scale...

[@nakian5316]

He should plan a giveaway for while he's in Japan.

[@because1375]

Nakian Yeah. Annoying how my favourite KZbinr lives in a complete different country to me...😂

[@paroxysm8115]

the dent in that back strut could be from when it was manufactured; sometimes the squeeze them to give it the final pressure in the shock

[@harrybrackley1526]

Grill needs to be black

[@BodeVision]

Can we expect to see the give away car at any local meets coming up? Even if its just boardwalk bowl Tuesday night meet. would love to see the build in person!

[@ThatV12MiataBruh]

Who knew a 350z would look great in cream....

[@dryrain592]

I think it doesnt :c

[@Ufcfighter0930]

Hell no what drugs are you on

[@padraigod4381]

Looks terrible

[@ThatV12MiataBruh]

The combination of the wheels and cream look great and imagine how it looks in the sunlight

[@hunterbrewton4794]

I LOVE NACHOS finally someone agrees with me

[@The90sAreRad]

It's crazy, I went back and watched some of your videos from like 3 years ago and you've for sure have changed (not in a bad way). Anywho, keep up the awesome work and the car looks sick!

[@miguelmarino3846]

Makes me miss my 350z :(

[@HoffHorn]

Adam you were tightening the rear bolt on the shock... Since its upside down you forgot its opposite. So of course when you used something with a distinct Left (L) it came right off...

[@itsyaboipatrick5218]

Your different times uploads are messing me up😂😂😂

[@freedomfox8183]

Very cool your giving enough cash to offset the taxes, haven't heard of anyone else doing that with a giveaway, real stand up man

[@smudger2693]

Isn’t it a Christmas tree drill bit?

[@tunanocrust5670]

Myles Burgess unibit or step bit

[@FawkAwph]

I thought they were called "uni-bit's"

[@kodyjohnson6294]

Myles Burgess lol, it’s called a step bit

[@mrsideperson8405]

In Finland we have very simple name for it, it's called: Askelkartiopora 😂😂😂

[@alexisbeauchamp384]

Nah, durade- sandstorm

[@tommye9057]

you need to loosen the bushing bolt on the control arms before pulling them down like that, not only will it move easier to get the coil in and out but your shorting the life of the bushing when its tight and your moving it.

[@simonkaczmarek1124]

Really lovin the “build” keep going Adam🤘

[@jansoto6283]

But u should get a wisefab angle kit and paint it that coffee brown color and put a coffee brown roll cage with your steering wheel and hydro with some sparco seats and your good

[@rollintwincam]

I've literally just finished watching ep.1 when ep.2 has been released

[@WMK4444]

How can you tell which coilovers are for the front and the rear ? Thanks! :)

[@disaster_omg7374]

Daaamn that car looks sick!

[@jamietoolin8352]

Should always replace cotter pins. Install and removal makes them incredibly weak, and doing it a second time there's a huge chance they could break and fall out

[@inglowrious]

The White z emblem actually didn’t look bad at all

[@aquaticpimp]

I love how in depth you go into showing us how your doing this stuff. Really cool to see.

[@bradleyselvey6770]

Adam you shud get. A rotary car

[@544dog]

you shud learn to spell

[@Zark-Muckerberg]

1 sell the shelby 2 buy a rotary

[@chadkennedy529]

Seriously one of the nicest give away cars I've seen.also it was really cool of you to pick up the tax, I hope whoever wins it deserves it and takes car of it. Really cool Adam keep it up!

[@destin6041]

The wheels look fire!

[@matthewwhatman8619]

Destin Ginnis na man they look snow ❄️👌🏼😋

[@FawkAwph]

Keep up the good work Adam! Just placed my order, probably place another before the contest is over to increase my chances!

[@EllisR6]

You should get some white tire letters,

[@stevengiraldo3987]

Ellis lyon hell no disgusting ricer the fuck is wrong with you

[@stevengiraldo3987]

Ellis lyon its not a nascar or a muscle car its a clean drift car

[@wackamack]

did anyone else notice at 4:26 he was actually tightening instead of loosening?

[@oneeyedude20]

That painter sucks... he didn't mask anything off. Even painted the rubber at the bottom of the radio antenna, painted all the emblems....

[@DM-dv6kk]

oneeyedude20 and you could see how it peeled from the emblem just when pulling the plasti-dip

[@theguywithnogrammer723]

Adam made it a quick job that guy is good at paint this is a drift car it's going to get smashed it's not a show car

[@theguywithnogrammer723]

503xROCKSTARxS14 are you kidding me he put brand new coils and he didn't even have to paint it if you don't like how he is doing it don't buy anything and he is doing it for the money that what all of them did Adam is a guy that builds nice cars it's a drift car not a show car and to be honest your not in the real car community if you have this much hate for someone trying to make a living

[@skippygaming7216]

Let's learn to spell grammar

[@theguywithnogrammer723]

Skippy Gaming good job there Skippy you got the fucking joke

[@yonseth788]

That’s crazy I’d wish so hard for bc racing coil overs all round for my ae86, I’m only 18 I’ve had the car for 4yrs already. All I could afford were some 2nd hand coil overs.

[@griffinsavoy]

inb4 "paint the grille, mirrors, and door handles" #itlooksfine

[@500MTH]

very shoddy paint job.

[@TheZohanLohan]

You get what you pay for. Im guessing he wanted it done on the cheap

[@MaWe1997]

naa man it looks fucking stupid spessialy the painted emblems look so dumb.

[@leonlotter7427]

In our country its normal brake pads and the rotors as said we call it brake discs

[@mrfox4760]

I'm the first commentator on the best in the world

[@HaruUch1ha]

Adam it's crazy to see the progress you've made over the years on KZbin, I've been watching you since you had around 1,300 subs 😂 I'm so proud of you man! keep it up! 👍

[@JavierGonzalez-ie6ir]

love the car man

[@rhammerfist]

It’s a step bit or UniBit you used to drill out the rear strut tower.

[@Joel_Harris]

You should be giving away a car each month to top subscribers etc. You make enough money to fund the car giveaways off of the content created through the builds of them. I also think subscribers would love to see a bunch of different cars. Maybe you could build a mx73 Cressida or something vintage jdm? Just something less common especially in the USA.

[@spike4850]

Joel Harris yep great idea, really practical and a great use of time.

[@shona5512]

Joel Harris He doesn't owe it to us to give away a car every month. If every wealthy person did things just because they could afford it as opposed to what actually makes financial sense, then they wouldn't remain very wealthy for very long.

[@Joel_Harris]

Its not about his wealth it's about content. He only has space for a certain number of cars etc so it would make sense that he could give cars to good homes and literally change peoples lives. Maybe a car each month is a bit unrealistic but you get the idea :) (pls dont spend all your money on us adam lol)

[@itsMuzah99]

it wouldn't cost him anything as he could fund the cars by the revenue he would make from each video he makes on said car. say he makes 6-7 videos of adding/ fixing different parts on the car he bought for no more then a grand (limit depending on how frequently he does it) he would easily make enough to do it and have a decent check for himself at the end:) also he would gain some much from it, views subscribers and likes he'd grow so much👌🏼

[@LiveinAK]

Joel Harris you act like it’s that easy please just stfu

[@7urbieta]

You did more mods to this car in one day than I have done to my car in 2 years........ but damn this Z is coming out niiiiiceeeee!!!!

[@luisthegamer2605]

should i ask my crush out

[@WallaKoala]

no

[@05.150f]

Go for it

[@luisthegamer2605]

Nathan 122302 thx for the advice

[@joncampbell9075]

How is this relavent but hey go for it

[@Seanbee04]

Sure why not!?

[@DigitaICriminaI]

3d print an LZ badge to replace the stock ones? i think your logo fits perfectly there

[@haydenallen888]

Dang. Already late.

[@EvoYas]

Adam what coilovers are those and spring rate? I know they are the br but are they extreme low or the normal?

[@haydenallen888]

Project puffed wheat

[@PAINTandGAMING]

Adam please re-watch between 4:25 - 4:35 and you'll see that you were actually tightening the strut nuts not loosening them. Love the vids, keep up the good work.

[@herrcrazyme8713]

#EarlyGang

[@lewstew8574]

just a heads up u had a hard time with the driver rear shock because u where tightening the nuts, we all do it one time or another . sweet simple drift car keep up the progression

[@ellischristiecontracting2014]

Early sqauddd

[@copchop97]

Im pretty sure you were tightening the bolts on the rear suspension and that's why they stripped...

[@44ro.n]

The Cream Z is cool but Haggard Garage's giveaway is miles better.

[@MattakaXenon]

eufogia who cares? He is giving away a great car for free. He will be helping someone start drifting and do what they've always wanted to do.

[@44ro.n]

Matt aka Xenon yeah totally agree with you there, just stating that haggard garages is better

[@44ro.n]

Matt aka Xenon except it isn't for free, you have to buy stuff to get entries

[@fcknsick]

eufogia You can get free entries to all of these car give aways. They legally have to let you. Read the rules carefully

You should definitely do that bumper tuck with the single exit exhaust.

[@Benjamin.OBrien]

I think im first

[@Zark-Muckerberg]

Nah u wrong.

[@kyleleonard3022]

The bit you used to drill out the hole is called a step down bit or Christmas tree bit

[@JordansAutoRestorations]

that cream looks so bad on the car no offence

[@JordansAutoRestorations]

i like the cream coular and all but not on that car

[@JordansAutoRestorations]

and wtf im no hater i 100% support adam

[@sretenmarkovic6242]

If you paint front grill, side badges, door handles and mirrors in black it would be so much better 😊 Except that I wouldn't change anything else..

[@brettdonnelly1846]

Witch would you rather have the haggard genisis or adams 350

[@osrs_sui]

Do our purchases of the Parka jacket count? or when did we have to spend the money on your site? (dates, etc, if we already spent money is it just 'you should've waited' or?

[@luismaldonado6108]

I still can't believe people are bitching about the car. If you win, its a free car! Adam is putting in work to get this to a lucky person. I still can't believe Adam has to explain the why to everyone about the situation. Ridiculous. Adam...keep doing your thing man. You're a great person.

[@samson_BNR32]

lower it! tuck em. Z's look so good slammed. im also looking at some wheels and coils so this video is perfect. im confused on the rears tbh but hopefully that other video will be more clear about the true coilover and shit

[@actsofosiris7943]

Never liked the creme on the 240 but really digging it on the Z

[@Sound1Motion]

Oreilly brake parts are not that great. The compound of the pads have a lot of cheap fillers that are anything but ideal for drifting. The rotors are made with inferior steel that do not dissipate heat well and can easily warp.

[@blr153289]

That color on the Z and the white on the Z emblem reminded me of a Moon Pie when you were pealing it.. Mmmmm, I'm hungry for one now :)

[@Gia434able]

Not sure if you noticed but you were tightening the rear shock instead of loosening

[@brennenrulez]

the overspray on the drivers front wheel well is driving my ocd nuts.

[@DBL1TZ]

you were tightening rear shock bolts instead of loosening,maybe that's why they stripped? not sure you only showed a 2 second clip

[@IoannisKar98]

Do the Cosmis Racing Wheels and the BC Racing Coilovers have limitation for countries or is the giveaway for those two only in USA as well?

[@cracklingice]

Yo Adam. It would suck if that spring shot out and hit you in the face. Highly advise buying a set of spring compressors. Wouldn't have to take apart the front end either.

[@daneblackburn2803]

I was scared for how the car was going to turn out. Wheels and coils reallllly change a car. Looks awesome!

[@Bikaz]

Think the Z badge on the side would look best in its stock black and chrome. i was already sad last video that it just got oversprayed, looked kinda cheap and bad beeing in body color. peeling off the paint would definetly look better :)

[@eel1331]

You're supposed to lightly tap/hammer the extractor on first

[@scrapmetal5604]

235cm of suface tread by 40% from wheel to top of the tire by an 18 inch wheel diameter right?

[@suwahcide]

4:30 were you going to the right??

[@vaclavsebela2008]

Just do the front fins/grill black.

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

4:29. The rear strut nuts weren't coming off because you were tightening them...

[@Wes884]

Switch the z logo on the front fenders to custom LZ logos.
