[@woutermvt]

Yeah, he was not very honest 🤔😁

[@xpictos777]

It has nothing to do with Moogs. The Lotus guys should have picked up all these issues when a) he bought the car and asked them to check if it was ok and b) when they “set it up” prior to the track day. It is outrageous that they’re now saying it is “all wrong” after Moogs was nearly taken out at the track day. I can’t believe no one else is upset as I am about this.

[@21Willly]

Funny thing is I don’t think 99% of the people in the comments realize how important a proper alignment is. I’ve been a mechanic for years so I’ve driven cars with far from proper alignments and they would cause any driver to spin out. Also doesn’t anyone realize how much attention professional race teams put into alignment?

[@AndreKlebleyev]

@@21Willly ESPECIALLY on a lotus, that’s why I was so confused. Especially the whole rake thing. They’re always lower in front by a good amount mine is about 6/7 mm higher in the rear than front

[@ionstorm66]

Also need tires. The fact the tires were old coupled with the terrible alignment wearing them unevenly means the girp had to to terrible. Weight transfer and downforce would be terrible with the poor rake, all the nice smooth under tray was doing jack all. The chamber and toe being off and inconsistent kills the predictability of the cornering grip.

[@thisislargemouth5566]

Sorry we yelled over the sponsored episodes...your Lotus is nice.

[@AkashKumar-rl1jc]

My anxiety just shot through the roof as moog is handling the supercharger at the beginning. Plssssssss don’t drop it

[@shilohstore6086]

Just made the same comment..lol

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

The purity of that fitted Lotus workshop protective cover for the back end is off the charts! He sounds like an Australian who occasionally attempts a cockney accent.

[@jamesweldon8118]

Love all this new content, I've been watching you guys for almost ten years and you keep just getting better and better!!!

[@tsuyoikaizoku4829]

Not gonna lie: I love it but it hurts, my 2ZZ-GE Corolla TS has been down for too many weeks now..

[@g.bergervoet4505]

What's up with it?

[@tsuyoikaizoku4829]

@@g.bergervoet4505 it span a bearing on me. Wasn't even low on oil or anything, and oil had like 7-8K km, so should still have been alright..

[@Gooie69]

Try some Wynns liquid bearing repair additive. It's amazing stuff.

[@tsuyoikaizoku4829]

@@Gooie69 when your span bearing results in a clear knock I wouldn't rely on fluids only... And I've pretty much managed to secure a box filled with everything I need to rebuild the low end (only thing I don't have new in that box is the crankshaft and the rods). But I don't have neither the place to work on my car nor the equipment and with this lockdown thing and our current weather plus some private life stuff everything keeps getting delayed more and more

@Mighty Car Mods Damn bro, Special Edition MCM WD40 Cans!? How fuckin big have yall gotten mate, I remember watching yall soooooo many years back, when subs were in the quadruple digits, which was huge back then, then quintuple digits, now MCM WD40 Cans, and septuple digits with 3.44m subs!!??? Well shit.. I'm getting old I guess lol, well deserved though, yall are great, and I appreciate everything, this content was/is a major foundational building block to my love of cars, not starting by seeing all these gorgeous, American Muscle Cars, but by working on them, fuckin around in em, and just enjoying it all in it's entirety, so thank you

[@callan179]

Would love to see you race Marty’s Mr2 in the lotus. You could do a cheap mid engine car vs expensive mid engine car challenge.

[@rimka11]

I would love to see that also. But the MR2 needs some PGUP's before that.

[@feral4mr2]

Poor old poo barge will have trouble hanging onto the lotus.

[@OverwatchSIX]

MAN THAT SOUNDED GOOD AT THE END

[@TheFinalsTV]

PLS SHOW THE LOTUS VIDS LOVE! I want to see them keep building it c:

[@DaxtonAnderson]

It's absolutely hilarious seeing you work on the engine, because my Toyota Matrix XRS from 2006 has the exact same 2zz-ge engine 😂😂 makes me want to slap a supercharger on it if it's easy enough that you can do it in that cramped little engine bay.

[@danielsimpson8929]

Those stools are also great for circumsized members! Chopped!!

It really surprises me how much "Purity" costs....

[@DannyHDpsn]

Finally the alignment is sorted, it seemed way off in the racetrack by the way the car was throwing off its balance

[@EmetYAHU]

Wrong, FIRST STEP is gently wrapping the body in a CUSTOM LOTUS EXIGE soft pad paint protection. 🤣

[@xpictos777]

I am sorry but all of this begs the question; what were all those Lotus guys doing when they inspected and prepped your car prior to the first track day?

[@Emkav1]

#4: because letting off throttle in a mid-rear engine car

[@nickslayer4368]

Moogs face in the last episode when he realised his lotus was 5 seconds slower than the brz

[@Pallidus_Rider]

The 2ZZ-GE engine should say Yamaha on it and not Toyota 😲

[@speedydraw]

Thumbs up if you thought the third reason for slow lap times was Moog getting used to mid-engine behavior
