[@chaseweeks2708]

I'd recommend adding heat and defroster vents. Even if you're not driving it during the winter, being able to defrost the windshield is just as much of a safety feature as a comfort feature. Also, the GPS antenna needs to see at least 4 satellites to calculate position in 3-dimentional space. Preferably more. Also, the RF signal will not pass through carbon fiber easily, so you may want to make sure the puck sits under an ABS plastic or fiberglass cover, maybe hit it with a piece of carbon-looking wrap.

[@s00p3rman]

Absolutely. It also keeps the interior from getting mildew and mold.

[@danielpedro77]

it's a SEMA car, it's never gonna be driven. that alignment is awful. Probably gonna make a couple of burnouts or powerslides, thats it. If it was meant to be driven on actual twisty roads it wouldnt be on ridiculous wheels and an 2L NA engine would be plenty to make a decent driver happy, very happy. Just because you can build it doesnt mean that you should.

@@danielpedro77 I dont know if you saw the other video but he did mention in time he was going to make the legacy his daily driver.

[@danielpedro77]

@@RokuRoku_696that doesn't make sense. Just because you have a daily doesn't justify making another car (that has decent handling in stock form) undrivable.

"Acess" must have been really last minute lol😆Love your channel and how far it's come!

They did everything they could for weight savings.

[@highmountainpropertymangem2517]

Did anybody else notice that “Access” was spelled wrong on the access stickers? Missing one important C Haha

[@NBC_NCO]

Perhaps it was intentional.

[@derangd3339]

Alcantera is a name for it. It’s a microfiber fabric that looks and feels like real suede. People think it’s leather when it’s not.

[@nathanchalecki4842]

Really? Had that in my MR2, always thought it was leather

[@timhardeman4297]

Specifically Alcantera is a German name brand microfiber fabric. They are/were so successful that everyone uses it as the generic term (like Kleenex).

[@hanscombrinck1481]

I came to make this same comment. I also want to add that Alcantara is more dirt, scratch and water resistant than suede, which is why it is more commonly used in automotive applications.

[@nakaface]

Isn't alcantara literally a brand name for the company's microfiber material? Like kleenex for tissues.

[@okkimistic]

​@@timhardeman4297Alcantara is the brand name of a synthetic textile with a soft, suede-like microfibre pile, noted for its durability. Alcantara was developed in the 1970s by Miyoshi Okamoto and initially manufactured by the Italian company Alcantara.

Let's Gooooooooo!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@DelCalloway]

Finally someone using MotoGadget on a street car. Seen them used on bikes for years, have the mo.unit blue so my phone acts as the NFC as well.

[@juliangarcia2342]

Right! I also use the blue on one of my bikes. Plan on using one on my 66 Datsun roadster build. This is awesome. Might want to grab mo.Lock glass key tube! Pretty small.

[@IliaLo]

I think, you should make the interior door handles out of carbon too

[@TW-AZ]

Just so happens that I am wearing my special edition tricolor Street Bandito t-shirt today! It is destiny!

[@jackimo22]

“Alcantara shares many of the same characteristics of natural suede, but rather than coming from a cow hide, Alcantara is made from a blend of polyester and polyamide (the same materials that make up microfiber towels). The two are very similar, and the terms are often used interchangeably”

[@JordanPayneLV]

The build is really coming together! It keeps getting better and better. The fit and finish is also next level compared to a couple years ago

[@garnetheron4885]

I must say I wasn’t excited that you were making an electric car but I am impressed with what you have done. Wow, you are talented it is beautiful. you are in the next level artist

[@milesgarcia5714]

Access is spelled wrong.

[@uses0ap]

I like the cupholders in the 4runner cuz they fit 40oz's when you drink & drive

[@FrodeLtvedt]

a ring to power the car. That's like getting married to the car! Awesome!

[@aidanoneil4853]

ditos always hitting hard. incredible interior lads

[@phat56pat]

One of my favorite cars in a long time I love all the information you’re giving us I do just wanna see this thing drive, so can you give us a driving video before we go 12 more videos without seeing it?

[@ChadPowell02]

10:32 - You should do the Koenigsegg thing and make yourself a pair of custom carbon Legacy suitcases to go with the car.

[@alexmowles1254]

Love the luggage strap clips. Makes the straps way more user friendly then the original 240 ones

[@boostloaded6437]

Awesome seeing Sam getting recognized! Awesome tuner with dsms and now ev cars wild.

[@KoiBoiRoi]

This car looks like something I'd drive in Cyberpunk 2077. Awesome build!

[@CSM.HBJ-Dogg]

Dope build Bandito type shit🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@dubCanuck1]

For the RFID chip, look at Aaron Cake's Cosmo project. He did something I'm sure you could replicate. Even implanting the chip in your hand....

[@slimigan]

Love this build, love EVs - driving ICE cars now feels so archaic. This thing is gorgeous.

[@davidklauer3422]

We’ll down Saw it at Sema Awesome job guys

[@skylarembury3712]

Y’all just cost me 1700 in fiberglast stuff, thanks a lot

[@papawpaul]

I learned to drive in a 240Z it's by far in my opinion the most nimble and street attacking vehicle. The ev version has to be a damn monster 😂🎉❤

[@mytuberforyou]

Alcantara has very little stretch to it so you really have to bond it with something like headliner adhesive so it doesnt end up like a loose bag on things like dashboards. A good alternative is microfiber suedee, which is available with a knit backing layer so you can sew it up and then stretch it around things and it will stay nice and flat with no lumps.

[@alwi9601]

Man I love how this interior came out.

[@dustintravis8791]

Modern twist on legacy

[@josephbarnes3099]

I can't wait to see the first drive, since I'm in DC I completely understand

[@tyson7034]

Looks sick boys!!

[@cowboyal75]

I absolutely love this build.

[@-DUTCHY-]

Looks amazing. I can believe a lot of work went into this car. You should get Jeweler to make you a carbon ring to wear on your hand with the RF chip inbedded. No need to carry car keys then. 😎

[@elijahherman]

He did that but apparently his rf sensor won't pick up any chips not made by them

[@-DUTCHY-]

Theres always a way. If you can read and replicate the manufacturers RF hz for that reader he should be able to put it into a ring. Buy a flipper zero and use that 😅

[@webguitars]

Use the straps in the trunk area to strap down a subwoofer tube wrapped in carbon!

[@speedwayengineering457]

When I saw this video dropped everything to watch it 🎉

[@SideshowBen206]

Nice work gents

Get that car out that shop ! Please can we get some driving videos of the og car ? Does it still run?

Make a carbon luggage piece to go in the back to match. Even have the liner match with the black suede and blue stitching

[@kendingsor]

fellow tall guy sheds tear for will

[@brapgarage]

Love how cyberpunk this car is. Been so much fun watching the build.

[@ruizgt]

Could mount the GPS antenna to the back of the rear view mirror if you end up running one.

[@dj_kaizen_games]

💯

[@markrolston]

Who makes the AC vents? Looks great.

[@1cstabach]

You should make a carbon suitcase for the trunk.

[@swecreations]

3:44 just note that wireless charging needs something that is not conductive, carbon fibre conducts electricity pretty well so I'm unsure if that will work so well (though I'm guessing you might be removing that piece of carbon fibre when you put in the wireless charging pad).

[@stizandelasage]

carbon fiber and wrap genius I'm ready for IMSA

[@padreGTR]

Would be good to see the unlock chip in between some carbon, credit card size, easy to fit in your wallet, and it’s (tap and go) to drive

[@lxrdvader2021]

This car should be in cyberpunk!

[@JimPekarek]

Cracks me up that someone would want A/C but not heat. Heat is an absolute necessity IMO, but I rip the A/C out of my cars because it's heavy and almost never needed in SF.

Will looks like the angles from legion

[@johnroyal4913]

I have some door panels I have been sitting on that would look killer in your EV Z. I have picture of them if you would like to see them.

[@PBWB2]

The word access is spelled wrong on the passenger side door sticker. Possibly others as well, but that's the one I caught.

[@jdmleno1409]

The back of the cars looks really good love the design not a big fan of the interior tho I think it's way too much alcantera and the front of the car is too rounded doesn't have those sharp edges like the back but overall guys really nice build keep up the good work 👍

WARNING: Please make sure no aluminum alloys and carbon structures meet without a gasket or sealant between the two. WILL CAUSE GALVANIC CORROSION.

put the nfc chip key into a pop socket that is detachable on your phone because your always going to have that on you

[@stance_fb]

this car needs matching carbon and blue luggage for strapping in the trunk.

[@SFoX]

Be super fricken careful with that RFID reader, cloning can be done quite easily

[@pawpatina]

suede is the "gloss phone" of interior fabrics... can see every finger print. constantly wiping it. and did they spell access wrong on purpose? lol

[@mattm7128]

Definitely a spelling mistake. I don't even think it's one of the words that has an American and European spelling

[@jibbyjibbb]

Yalls spelled access wrong

[@belledetector]

Suede is made of lambskin whereas Alcantara is synthetic (68% polyester + 32% polyurethane). So not the same, but looks and feels similar.

[@AlanThomas1]

6:50 um, you spelled access wrong

[@curtisboynton]

It is a 70s 240z, missed opportunity to call it the Lega-Z or 24-EV

[@NBC_NCO]

I personally hate EVs... But your car looks absolutely amazing.

[@Bassknots]

I would say it’s ok for drag race with a parachute or two .. other that that no .

[@dhultgren1]

"Acess+" = "No Ragrets"? (Sorry, had to do it) 🙈

[@tristin5723]

If you need a solidworks designer, that specializes in structural, 3d scanning, and 3d printing, let me know.

[@Xempt_One]

Did you lose points in the awards for spelling mistakes on the door? Haha

[@KNIGHTSFALLN]

i hate to be that guy but that stitching looks bad its not straight, single line looks cheap... and it looks like suede, not even alacantara. Which is fine but its impossibe to keep clean, The texture shows imperfections much easiers. Its basically why alacantara was invented for luxury cars.

[@TeamStevers]

Need a carbon fiber box tied down in the back to carry shoes, race suit, and helmet, with a clear lid.

[@Staffii1]

Nobody gonna point out "acess"? Lost the extra C in access to save weight?

[@0ckgobananas]

The Cyberpunk fans gonna flock😭

[@thomasolson8417]

"Access" is spelled wrong. 😩🤦‍♂

[@hightech_lowlife]

All this custom work and you didn’t add a ball cooler for your junk

[@TeamStevers]

That stitching on the upholstery is weak.

[@jimmyy9273]

I think the access + sticker is spelt wrong

[@patrickbaitman8336]

That interior stitching doesn't fit this build. Tacky and sloppy. Awesome build bro!

[@Dave1507]

you travel for good upholstery? at least show a part with some straight line stitching, and not that horrible dashboard.
