Gymkhana GRiD Corolla Gets Ford 8.8 Axle! Scotto Overkill?

I hope for Scotto’s sake this actually gets finished before the event

With the power of friendship this build will get done 👍

Man this was such a banger episode. Perfect combo of random Scotto building things I never knew about, actual car progress, beauty shots, it really had it all. Well done boys.

[@tturi2]

the beauty shots were of Scotto

Dude Jameson is the man. Seems like a super knowledgable, chill guy. Would love to hear his background!

I love how Scotto simultaneously says how he doesnt know what he is doing and then confidently explains its the right way to do something lol :)

[@Fallyn2911]

Jolly's Comments are always on point! and it is funny Scotto "teaches" how to do this, followed up by thanking Ron for the idea lol. We need a Scotto teaching vlog... Call it Scotto's Nut tricks

Scotto does have the best build videos. It’s not just funny but informative and entertaining. Even though he never finishes them the approach and technicality are on point 😂😂. Keep rockin dude we love it. 🤘

I imagine if the VR6 gets in there, that car will be one of the most fun things ever and SOUND AMAZING.

[@Dillanwoodring]

@@MrBlockohwhen you shorten the long side of the axle housing, does the new overall length equal the 86 axle? Or are we shortening the 8.8 just to fit under the 86 and not to match the axle sizes. Thanks!

I once broke The axle tube from the center section. Mig welded it back with basic wire and without pre heating. Held perfect for many track days still. Yours will definetly hold its own against the VR6 👌

[@PascoalD]

Scotto you gotta finish this project for the sake of my mental health!! Dont even think moving to another project.

[@ashmars_]

Definitely the most simplest build out of all the gymkhana grid cars. That being said, really hope Scotto can finish this build in time ie: not last minute

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

These episodes are fantastic, thanks!

[@michaelcrebbin7328]

Looking good Scott can't wait to see all you guys run gymkana in them loving watching the builds 🥰🥰🥰

Jameson really recalls his wisdom achieved. I do not know if that is really called science, but I was told the same when I became a tool maker. Thumbs up!

[@gordowg1wg145]

Cool video - one of the best. Those multi-index backing plates are a very neat idea - don't recall seeing those before. It may run into binding issues, that could tend to turn it into an oversized ARB (swaybar), but if nothing breaks that could be a good thing - I'd suggest keeping an eye on the chassis and axle mountings, and making regular checks in the dog-leg links.

Your content makes me happier and motivates me. Because of kids and health problems at 35. I want to be working alongside you. I am pushing myself. If I can't in 10 years, my kids will have plenty of help. I hope. Right now I'm in a studio and my car just got totaled by a guy with a 4 day old car. I had a dark gray honda fit. For mpg but it was invisible to most people. I walked up his rear wheel and flipped on my side. The cops didn't believe me when I said reflex kicked in and I cranked the wheel to the left to flip it back over. It wasn't a thought. It was muscle memory. I couldn't explain it. Plus I had a concussion. You guys are great!!!

As a mid 40's life long Ford owner/fan I can confirm that friction modifier takes stinky gear oil to a level nobody wants to deal with.

[@shaneWARs1]

Kinda amazing how clean the body of that car is

[@Airsofthelpvancouver1963]

I've always like the old Corolla as I had a 81 baby blue interior and exterior 1.6 with an automatic that was grandma driven and got it for $480 CND and I blew the motor by spinning an oil bearing and gave it to the scrap yard at 16yrs old and when I watch this I am seeing things I dreamed of doing to mine. Now the motor auction that I wanted to go with was a 22RE or you can even go with the carbureted version intro some Weber's on it. But the 22RE is a 2.4L 4 cylinder beast that can easy push 300 and with that rear end you could build a stellar shift car.

[@Cha-KmaN]

excellent job guys, one question: I cut the rear axle of the Ford 8.8 to the same size as the rear axle of the AE86, how did you resolve the issue of the length of the axle shafts?

[@Dillanwoodring]

I am going to be doing this for my te72 soon. Not sure if it’s correct as I haven’t lined anything up or started but from my understanding one side of the axle housing is longer, longer axle. Only cut that side to match the shorter axle and use two passenger(or driver I don’t know which side it is) side axles. I plan to make a jig off my te72 at all the mounting points. Take out the rear end and put the 8.8 in the jig and weld the bracket in place. Not sure if they did it in the video but I plan to make some sort of jig for attaching and welding the axle tube back on. Fuck I might just wing it on that part I heard they aren’t straight from factory. But I don’t believe the shortened 8.8 will match the Corolla width. But it will fit and be close.

[@93z28]

Man. You guys really need to pay up for a good welder. All 8.8s are cast steel center section. Er70s wire is totally fine. Just use 309l tig wire it has enough nickel in it if you’re worried about ductility. It’s one thing to be slops but at least give correct information. You have enough resources from actual pros.

[@michaelphelps7176]

Been going through the comments for like 20 mins trying to find someone talking about this. I would’ve just preheated and used er70 forsure

[@wjanes11]

I'm glad sh!t car is where it belongs after all the damage. Just hanging there to remind all of you and all of us how these channels started. RIP Sh!t car. Maybe to live again.

[@Uncle_Drywall]

I had a dream where I was parting out a old suburban to Scotto. Definitely peak dreamscape, but he had a flat cap on, I dont know how he feels on those but he looked like Jason Sudeikis and it felt too off to be reality so I woke up. 😂

[@baileybrewer1172]

Hell yeah dude, looks beefy

[@Dodds_Dirtbikes]

that friction modifier is RANK

[@laynepalmer8690]

I guess I missed where the axle got shortened. Was that shown anywhere? I’ve always wondered how that gets done.

[@taznz1]

Don't thing they showed it, but here is a detailed video of how it's done: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX_PiGqKm7-Mh9k

[@brandenburns3322]

i think the top links are flipped the wrong way. you'll hit the body on compression. Im pretty sure they need to be pointed down

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

No, the links hit the housing when the car is set up too low. If you flipped them they would hit at droop.

[@1slow370]

@13:00 just use a spare wheel, or the correct tool, a press

[@tylerscott2420]

So next time just air hammer at those studs in it works really fast. I do have the tool and I do use it sometimes but air hammer is the easy way.

[@UncleManuel]

Jameson totally missed the opportunity to yell "THAT'S A WRAP!" after wrapping the axle in thermo blankets... 😁

[@glennmorris25]

Henry Ford demanded that the rear gear be the most robust part of his cars. That demand turned into a philosophy at ford that has persisted long after his passing.

[@ianm432]

I welded my 8.8 tubes, lots of abuse in an xj on 35s and never had an issue. It's cast steel and not iron. Pre heat and post heat is the most important.

[@maplesyrup3930]

Best quote “one eye scotto” seconds later almost losing an eye

[@jt-gm6ji]

Weight distribution also has to do with spring vs un-sprung weight… the motor is sprung weight, the axle is un-sprung, so the rear of the car will be more ‘planted’ than before due to the weight, whereas the front weight is progressive depending on suspension movement

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

True, but typically in road racing, you want less unsprung… So we will see.
