Driveshaft, Throttle Pedal & Cable Fitted! - RA24 Toyota Celica Project

[@danpye8633]

HEY...that was my keyboard!!!!

[@davegt27]

next time they should get a key board and take it apart and put a plate of metal inside then make it so it does not work and try to get moose to break it lol

[@mentals555]

Very sad I went so long not knowing about your channel! Found you guys in the last week or so, and your Porsche 930 and ass2000 videos are pretty much all I've watched since. Glad to have found you guys

[@speedacademy]

Glad you found us! Enjoy!

[@benjaminrhodes9611]

I want one of the "Moose it out!" tee shirts! I love seeing progress on the Celica. Keep 'em coming!

[@redeyerob2176]

That footage of moose snapping that poor keyboard over his knee is pure GOLD

[@Rokynutz]

This build is what brought me to you guys over a year ago.

[@mugshotmarley]

I remember way way back in high school when this new kid who just moved from Canada to my school. We were talking about what cars we're gonna drive when we get our license and he says "My mom's nice toyota see-lee-ka". I was amazed, thinking that Toyota came out with a special model in Canada and asked him to take a picture (pre internet days). After showing me a polaroid pic the next day, I was like, "No, thats a sell-ika..." I realized seconds later that I was not a smart teen lol.

[@walt350z]

Awesome episode guys! Looking forward to more episodes of the celiac...it's growing on me.

[@michaelr5545]

Keep the Celica content coming !!!

[@Vlammenzee]

2 celica video's in a matter of days, what is this sorcery, keep them coming lads :)

[@dbajonr]

Whoa whoa whoa! You mean all this time when you were working on the Seeleeka, it was actually a Celica? Wow!

[@kzannos]

Damn guys, somehow you manage to keep me watching for the whole time of the video even though the cars are not moving during winter time!! Nice builds, nice narratives, cool characters! Keep em coming and can't wait to see some driving going on in spring time. KZ.

[@Namesi]

Connie content is the best content.

[@brucebrucestofiston5554]

I completely lost my shit with the cat in the bath.Between that and the moose keyboard clip this is one funny episode

[@HassanEido1]

Big fan of this channel. You guys are living the dream

[@feelthatfeelthat]

You guys are awesome. Best of luck on the new shop!

[@gnasherball]

That's a big black shaft.

[@tommyboy1two]

I wish my beams swap was coming along this nicely

[@craigderian9112]

ahhh, you took out the best heel-toe throttle pedal!! good luck not mis-shifting your gearbox,

[@JanMichaelFranklin]

Best way to position the pedal is to look at a car that you guys really love the pedal placement in. It really is that simple.

[@speedacademydave]

that's exactly what we did...went and looked at the S2k and FRS before we started to position the AW11 pedal in the Celica.

[@mazenschnefeldt5077]

I so *insert swear word here* love this series. You guys rock

[@andrewmurray6772]

" If in doubt, just Moose it out ! " We say " Celeeca " in Australia, not Cilly Ca.....lol, just saying, don't get offended anybody :) Cheers from Australia, looking forward to Connies first start up :)

[@jamesmitchell811]

Andrew Murray the same here across the ditch in good oL NZ :)

[@andrewmurray6772]

hey mate, can't wait to hear Connie start up, these old Celecas are so rare now :(

[@PowellMoore]

Crazy to see you guys in that awesome shop, used to seeing you guys in the dungeon

[@cristianjrosas2356]

Nice I'm also going to be putting my battery there too! And that itb setup is real niiiice, gotta look into that. Loving the videos :)

[@Fred86]

“if in doubt,moose it out” lol next SA sticker or T-shirt

[@salazarm1015]

Loving those Arizona plates :)

[@speedacademydave]

honoring Connie's roots :D

[@ChaseDiaz_garage_works]

I cracked up so bad when moose knee’d the keyboard. I just imagined him trying to edit one of these videos.

[@prex345]

The correct pronunciation is no joke.

[@Jeffball610]

Pretty sure the stud on the clutch master is because you can't get a bolt in that hole due to the fluid reservoir.

[@dzrotary]

I usd the same throttle cable from a lexus to adapt it to my old cressida , now it is in the volvo wagon project.

[@TheAussiefrog]

The moose shirt needs to say “If in doubt Moose it out” I’ll have mine in a large please

[@panicwire]

AWESOME progress!

[@rileyalexander6973]

Speed Academy is some sort of a MCM with hot rod garage blend and it's amazing

[@moebius2k103]

Moose vs keyboard, lost it LMAO.

[@iflystuff1]

0:01 Music to my ears

[@Limeayy]

when in doubt, hammer it out

[@jamiebeckf]

Clutch masters are so easy to swap when the driving position is on the correct side of the car (The right)!

[@mikelmorgan6409]

I was waiting for moose to burst into the shop and moose up the place.

[@wilhobbs207]

Stop dissing on Moose. The keyboard was obviously malfunctioning so he expressed his opinion in a reasonable manner. What's the problem? 😉

[@vaioskaliakoudas6388]

*Moose thought the keyboard was blunk of wood to break it in half with his knee*

[@BVM03]

You totally missed an opportunity to say, "Pete, insert your massive shaft into Connie".

[@speedacademydave]

haha, the shaft joke potential in this episode was a little overwhelming ;)

[@93grech]

Keep it up boys 👌

[@mtk4158]

I love speed academy : l

[@Qgal5kap123]

Me too!

[@logmegadeth72]

I would guess the clutch cylinder has a stud on the top because it makes install easier. If you had to install a bolt the same length as the stud, I think there would be clearance issues with the reservoir.

[@cpuff2468]

I believe those cams for the ITBs are called “bell cranks”

[@Samqdf]

So that's what they are called, ironic that I didn't know that until now seeing I was the one who designed, produced and supplied that replacement linkage system they are using.

[@TABRO284]

Do you guys have or know of a Rivnut gun? Its like a Rivet gun for adding threads to sheet metal. Just drill the right size hole put the fixing in and it gets mechanicaly Riveted in place. I enjoyed the video.

[@salazarm1015]

TABRAO they use a Rivnut gun on one of their old videos where they install over fenders on their S2000.

[@BestUnderPressure]

I want a Moose shirt and sticker. Please get on that.

[@leecwilkin]

you need to put a block or a bolt under the throttle pedal to use as a travel stop, if you don't when you're driving it and get a bit excited you'll hit the pedal too hard and snap the throttle cable.

[@speedacademy]

Yup, Pete does mention a travel stopper for the pedal and it is definitely something we'll tackle when we more permanently install it. This was just a mock up to get the cable installed where we wanted it and mated up to the ITBs.

[@leecwilkin]

my mistake, i didn't hear that bit :-)

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!!

[@schnizdawg]

Love the celica project way better than any of the Porsche videos. Idk why but I’m so sick of seeing Porsches on like every KZbin car show. Good cars but boring boring boring. Making a classic oddball car perform like a Porsche is way more interesting.

[@broadwayline]

Yo DP! looking good bro! that was some savage shaft footy - i wish 'brand new slip yolk on a larger 1310 u-joint' was a category on porn hub

[@Mike_Pedals]

I hope Mpose doesn't get jealous when he sees you double-teaming Connie with someone else.

[@speedacademydave]

pretty sure he's a little jealous already ;)

[@tnyce616]

I’d buy that shirt 😂😂😂

[@KirkVSSpock]

The 3 pedals must be aligned in length and height ! Think about heel & toe technique ;-)

[@speedacademydave]

Absolutely. We went and looked at the ass2000 and FRS pedal positions before starting to work on Connie's.

[@cocoloco1994]

Shafted from behind dp?

[@precariousbyte]

Less blab, more fab

[@RobynTapps]

5:57 ive done that to sevral keyboards...

[@wagonista]

The pockets in your trunk look different than in my RA24 - mine just look like my garage floor. 🤔

[@georgefloydhadasthma9133]

We want moose merch

[@jonkat323]

Hey Dave. I recently got a set of 4AGE ITBs too. I have been cleaning them by hand and they are looking pretty good, but nowhere near as perfect as yours. Were there any considerations to take before blasting them with walnut and glass? I am going to look into doing the same.

[@speedacademy]

we were going to remove the TPS but since mine was broken already we didn't bother. It would be tough to cap off any of the little orifices, so we just went ahead and blasted them carefully and then I gave them a good wash with hot water and dried them out with an air gun and they seem to be squeaky clean and free of any type of dust of debris. The glass blasting is really gentle and seems to produce very little debris, so the only stuff that came out during cleaning was a tiny bit of the walnut media and even that was mostly just in the springs.

[@elgenerz]

How's that battery holding up? 220 CCA doesn't seem like enough for a BEAMS.

[@colubrinedeucecreative]

Hey, I have been thinking, but isn't that steering wheel way too far back? Remember when you test fit the seat? It looked like it was in your lap, well, if you look at the shifter, it is way too far forward, and so is the dash. I would guess you are going to have to cut that extension out of the column you put in back some day, and or maybe even more. Who knows though?! Looking forward to it all!

[@speedacademy]

Good eye, we're going to be moving the shifter back since its too far forward at this point.

[@PatricGleason]

Sell-i-ka is all I've ever heard until I started watching you Canucks... 😁🤪

[@SebastianOutzen]

Did I see the new drift project in the background at the end?

[@speedacademy]

Mayyyybe :D

[@Barracuda1807]

Lmao, what did that keyboard ever do too moose?

[@speedacademy]

asked him to enter the correct torque spec

[@Aiello_]

How about a pedal box? (i thinks that's how it's called) it would look nice too! and if in doubt,moose it out would be an fantastic t-shirt haha

[@snape1464]

They're pretty darn expensive

[@speedacademy]

A pedal box would certainly be an option, but we're trying to do it with Toyota parts since others like the Panic bros have done lots of these Beams swaps using AE86 pedals and cable like we're trying to use. The AW11 pedal isn't quite right for the job compared to an AE86 pedal, but we'll make it work with a spacer and a stopper on the floor. Should work out fine.

[@Aiello_]

i didn't know know that, i never really saw the price of them haha

[@Aiello_]

it'll probably be more comfortable for normal driving too right? this is my favorite project in the channel, i'm really happy to see so many updates! also, the new place is looking super clean!

[@shobud7561]

Trivia queston ! Why did Toyota design a two piece driveshaft for theses cars ?

[@Samqdf]

From what I have been told a 2-piece design transmits significantly less of shocks from the diff / wheels / suspension and hence end up being having less noise, vibrations and harshness (NVH).

[@scadieee]

I was always told battery placement should be done when you’re corner balancing ?

[@speedacademy]

True with a race car if you're really trying to optimize weight distribution to the nth degree, but with a street car build like this (we'll still take it to the track), we picked this location for convenience and because it's better than having it in the OE location out over the nose of the car.

[@wilhobbs207]

Scadieee Not enough weight to make a difference. If it were a conventional battery then yes. But 8-9 pounds won't make a difference

[@scadieee]

Thanks guys

[@charbre1999]

The mullet is still not sold?! 10:38

[@speedacademy]

It actually is, we are delivering it to the new owner in a few weeks.

[@charbre1999]

Oh that's good news! I'm sure he will enjoy that car!

[@seandonaldson5084]

Once you go black shaft, you never go half shaft....

[@kiiiisu]

aint that shaft too long when tires on ground or is it calculated perfectly?

[@speedacademydave]

we gave Xcessive measurements as per their instructions, which allows them to factor in slip yoke movement such that it won't bind up when it's on the ground and loaded up.

[@badkron]

If it was a proper RHD car the clutch master would be on the ootside the brake booster and much easier to swap oot

[@matthew872960]

Please front mount the oil cooler!

[@ultrabamf3450]

What jacks are you using on Connie?

[@speedacademy]

QuickJack! Its an awesome tool. Hit us up if you are looking for one.

[@jeffg377]

YAY no Moose !!!!!!!!

[@RWBJeff]

Pete the dentist.....lol

[@rawwarpnw]

Miss Moose lol

[@C1AE86]

lol when in doubt moose it out

[@msabbagh4518]

I thought you guys sold the mustang?

[@speedacademydave]

we did, we're delivering it to the new owner in a few weeks.

[@The02314567]

I like a clean hole

[@gt86dude16]

You have it all out and you are building a track car? Why not get a nice pedal box in there instead of these hacks? :-D

[@speedacademy]

It's not really a track car, it's going to be a fun street car that we do take to the track sometimes, but for now we want to make it work with Toyota parts since this has been done by many others in a similar fashion with good results. But of course if we're unhappy with the results a pedal box is always an option in the future.

[@gt86dude16]

I see. I was under the impression it was going to be an all out track car.

[@josepadilla7981]

whats happen to moooos cookieee coooooooooookie

[@speedacademy]

Don't worry, the big sweaty cookie monster will be back soon.

[@josepadilla7981]

Speed Academy cooooooookieee

[@LLSniper]

Cel E ca

[@MM77077]

C E L I C A, NOT SLICA

[@cotyphachansiri731]

No offense BT, but i think canadians are the only ones that pronounce it "Sell - ee -ka" seriously ask google how to pronounce celica. She clearly says "Sell - ick - uh" just sayin.

[@MitchDenham]

We Australians seem to chop and change, but most here seem to say "Sell-Lee-Kah"...

[@speedacademy]

isnt Google American? :)

[@cotyphachansiri731]

Speed Academy good question. I would assume it was global and without borders, but that could be debatable.

[@akktiveautosports]

Caribbean people say selleeka also... Pops loved those cars

[@cotyphachansiri731]

Tomato tomahto lol. Still we're all car lovers and i love that we're all passionate about what we do. Keep those vids rolling guys

[@AngelFloyd27]

Say Celica as always, japanese don't call it Cel-E-Ca, just americans, they are the only ones who say it that way.

[@nathancurtis4139]

Sell E Kuh

[@dinxsy8069]

So what industry are you guys in? KZbin doesn't sustain the funding for the shop/cars. Many people on youtube never give a background to how they come to be, would be nice having some insight to know you a bit better. Not prying for information into your personal lives. It's like who are these guys?

[@brlbrlbrlbrl]

Given that every video has a bunch of product placement and out and out advertisement, I'd expect that to make up a large portion of their income. I've been curious as to what the Canadian laws regarding disclosing paid product placement are, as in much of Europe their approach of puffing parts, linking to them and not disclosing that they've (most likely) received the parts in lieu of positive visibility or indeed been straight paid for it, would certainly run afoul of the law.

[@speedacademy]

This is our full-time job. We used to be the Editorial team at Modified Magazine (for a decade), and started Speed Academy when the magazine was shuttered in 2014. As the end credits indicate, we have advertisers that help us pay the bills, just like car magazines have. Some of the products we choose to install on our cars are provided free-of-charge by the manufacturer, but we're under no obligation to give the product a positive review and we're always open about any problems we have with a product both with our viewers and with the manufacturers (so that they can get some honest feedback from guys who've been modifying cars for a long time).

[@govindagookool9755]

Speed Academy you guys are awesome, I wish I lived in Canada i would definitely come give yiu guys a hand.....I'm working on my "beamsy" also, which comes with some Boost!!!!
