I Built The World's BEST SOUNDING EXHAUST For My Bike Powered Kei Car!

@@KartsAgainstHumanityThe other guy was mentioning that the concrete isn’t deep enough or the anchors aren’t in far enough.

[@2JRaz]

Im going to post this comment a few times in the hopes that you see this. Do not read these comments as hate comments, These are people who enjoy your channel and want you to be safe. Please prioritize safety first. You can upload videos with non-lift projects while you sort this out. I have pasted 3 comments down below from professional lift installers on the subject: From @Marc11M Hey Caleb I install lifts for a living, if I was inspecting those lifts they would immediately fail because of the anchoring. I'm not as familiar with bendpak but every 2 post I've installed comes with 5-1/2 anchors which looks to be what these did come with. Most lifts want minimum 4-1/4 inches of 3000psi concrete with minimum 3-1/4 anchor embedment, as well as staying around 3-1/2 inches from cracks, seams in the floor, relief cuts, edges of the concrete, old anchors etc. which you can't see some of those issues with the epoxy already on the floor. Those anchors are pulled up way too far so either you don't have enough concrete or the concrete there is low psi or cracked/weak. I would guess you have maybe 1-2 inches of embedment on some anchors especially the ones near the drain, also since you cut off the extra length of the anchor that would also be an immediate fail due to that alone. With the little amount of room to move the lifts around in your shop I would seriously recommend you to remove the lifts and get new concrete pads poured. I do not want to see you get hurt or killed from those lifts failing please take my recommendation for your safety From @deanandrejevic1946 install, maintain and do insurance inspections on garage equipment in the UK and funnily enough used to fit Bendpak ramps and this 100% my thoughts. The bolts pulling up is extremely concerning. The cutting of the bolts is an instant condemn. Please please please get some concrete pads. I don't know if the specs in the US is different but 1m squared and 500mm deep is what we would recommend, but it will also say in the manual minimum concrete specs. It may seem overkill and a ballache but it's better than a lift falling. I've seen it happen and it isnt pretty. I see a lot of these videos and the fact Bendpak don't send professional fitters out when they ship the lifts is appalling. From @JessopRyan I fit lifts too, in the U.K. so the rules will be different. I agree those bolts pulling though aren’t good. We use Hilti bolts, I went to a training day about bolts and they are very confident even on expansion joints…. We don’t do it but they say you can. Safety First! You don't want to learn this lesson the hard way. Love ya, stay safe Gingium.

I’ve watched near to every video of yours since Donut reccomended you in the shoutout video. I have to say that I enjoy your videos the most from all the car channels I watch. From Rob Dahm, Drivetribe to Donut and Tavarish I can relate to yours the most even tho I don’t have the founds and motivation to play with cars as you. I think it comes to the “human” aspect of your videos. You are showing mistakes, you make silly jokes I can see that you are authentic in your work and that’s priceless.

You should drop a Cbr600rr motor in that thing. Around 120hp would be a good jump from the original motor. I'd bet anything it would be a very easy install.. my first bike in the early 2000s was a 02 cbr600f4i. I put a D&D on that thing. Sounded great.

$50 used large flatbed scanner and a flat ruler for scale. Pretty perfect for scanning flat surfaces to adapt to CNC. A cheap tv/monitor screen protector can be used to prevent metal parts from scratching the glass with metal parts. 50% of the time a photo does the job but it skews flat surfaces, so prevent wasted metal and time with a scanner. Only takes 2 min longer than taking a photo.

If I’m being honest I wasn’t too much of a fan of the idea of him changing the exhaust setup because I didn’t know how much it would change the sound. But, my fucking god. I could sit here for hours listening to that shit bro lol. Fucking mind blown. Good shit Gingium.

[@dannyipwn1203]

when doing the header flange, you should of taken into consideration the thickness of the material of the runners. add that to the size of the exhaust ports.

[@802Garage]

I think the one longer header tube helped avoid some of the raspy "Honda" sound you might have gotten otherwise. Gives it some tone. Overall I think you got a pretty cool sound out of it! A small resonator might actually make it even better, but you could also change mufflers if you ever want a different tone. Good stuff.

[@estewar03]

I'm only 1:10 into this & my guess on the "power adder" is an AMR500 supercharger, simply because I wonder how NOS would work with the ITB's, seems overly difficult to set up. Plus, there's a few YT channels that are playing around with the AMR500's with pretty good results.

[@loweredyote8416]

It is kinda wild that all this work is done, not including boosting it yet, just to still make less power than a new 600cc motor. Swap would be way cooler and probably more cost effective

[@danielhughes9556]

Can't lie. Sounds hella good. I'm a Datsun guy. Have been for years. My impression from dudes that have raced Datsuns, and built their motors, headers aren't always better. In fact many argue that factory exhaust manifolds flow better. Just saying. I dig this little car. Hope to see a supercharger again. Tired of seeing EVERYONE turbo something. ❤
