I like Grub he's a good fit for the show and seems a decent bloke

[@denisjovanovic7781]

Alsi if you go on a diet that's also more weight savings

[@VS666]

seriously man he could lose at least a hundred lbs and feel even better! either way I love him he's a legend

[@logical_volcel]

Fire Extinguisher is the best addition to any car, things can go wrong on stockers as well

[@chrisrosie0584]

"I've had about seven cars burn to the ground!" Are you sure he's the right man for the job Andrew...

lots of useful data in this video, thank you. Although, what are the Weds/Zestino specs?

[@Garage.Philosophy]

Damn those TC05s look dope ! I get your vision with the tarmacs but for some reason the weds look a lot nicer to me .

[@g6et_wrx177]

I know life is busy but don’t take weight off the car to only add kg’s around the waist which appears to have happened lately :-)

[@Tube4TTT]

Way to body shame someone publicly mate.

[@captainbarge]

Did you forget to make a video about yellow wrap? :)

[@Godzilla32]

When did it get a wrap? I missed it?

[@zaamuro8408]

Could've had a small mention....

[@kingjames8887]

I’m confused, wasn’t this grey and had the fifteen 52 wheels or something ?? Why is it orange now lol

[@Tube4TTT]

I went back through my notifications to see if I missed an episode or something

[@user-bp5py6bh3g]

When did it get wrapped? Is safety orange a new trend?

[@adriangabba]

Are your seat brackets FIA/CAMS approved?

[@adamcastle2691]

Has the car been wrapped or paint? If paint whats the color?

[@brettro8210]

Surely eating a salad would be an easier and cheaper path to weight saving...

[@krispykruzer]

What's the legality of a race seat for a street car?

[@smythiegato]

If the stock seats have airbags, race seats without airbags are not legal on the street. The guys were talking about only using the race seats at the track in this car though

[@Shauny808]

Well..

[@Tom-lf8hx]

Thats a huge weight saving, but could you go too light and upset the balance of the car?

[@MotiveVideo]

you need to remove a lot more than 5% to upset the balance.

[@Tom-lf8hx]

@@MotiveVideo ahh well thats good to know 😊 cheers for the reply

[@micsub]

Good stuff guys !

[@grahamhaynes7658]

What seat do you recommend for a gc8 sti?

[@microsmotors]

One that fits YOU nicely.

[@blade123700650]

why not drop the seat height? 4” lower is possible, better driving position, and lowers the weight of the driver, especially the heavier bloke 😂

[@MotiveVideo]

we did drop the seat height massively. Andrew went from about 5cm head clearance to over 20cm

[@YesNoMaybeIDntKnwDoU]

That's likes 7 inches that's gunna feel heaps better going round the track 👍. Can I've a drive? 😁

I thought the track pack would have come with better seats? Is this not the track pack version?

Why didnt you gor fot the Recaro Podium? Its the lightest street legal seat in the world and its FIA approved, it weighs just 5.4 kg complete with a seat bracket... And I've just saved 50kg on a car that weighs just 960kg from factory, now it's high af at the rear🤣 I need new lowering springs, or a adjustable suspension 🤣

2.5k for one seat^^
