BUILDING A DRIFT MCLAREN | PT7

[@UncleManuel]

Mike taking care of that scared young fella - that is a dad moment right there. That kid will never forget that experience! 😎🤘

[@grantharper6409]

Mike always comes across as such a top lad!

[@shaneobrien148]

Class act

[@jqmark]

That really impressed me when he took time to do that for that kid. Straight up kid's new hero. Good on ya Mike.

[@themrajjohnson]

Someone did something similar for me as a young teen- absolutely fundamental to me becoming a car guy!

[@dons1932]

If you've ever met Mike, you know that's 100% who he is. The whole "Mad" thing is just an act, a total character he plays. He's the most calm, humble and chill dude in person.

[@MrGrossbaff]

There was one dude getting his dorito signed by Mad Mike while wearing a Rob Dahm shirt ...... That's a real rotary fan

[@geoffrey6000]

Rob is a fucking legend too

[@NZstylz-r7v]

One builds cars in 100 days one builds them in a 100 months!!!

[@NZstylz-r7v]

The McLaren motor was originally a Nissan le mans V8 so the cars a mongrel anyway.

[@robertmurray2843]

Rob dahm is legend too in his own way i especially love his engine builds

[@BFE08STI]

My fatherheart melted when he took in that kid and let him sit in the car! Such a nice thing to do

[@mmn-s15]

9:45 thats why we love Mad Mike. What a guy!!

[@gniawd]

The kids face change when he asks if he wants to sit in it priceless. What a good dude.

[@moonbrothers9098]

Heart of Gold, Feet of lead. 😅

[@AndrewSproull]

We got a glimpse at Dad Mike instead of Mad Mike

[@matterdeann]

He's a dad first and driver second and you can see that

[@kekke2000]

Damn I can really identify with that kid in the crowd. When I was a kid I hated loud noises, fire works, motorcycles e.t.c. I was terrified. So glad to see him sitting in the car and then being all smiles. That's a day to remember for him!

[@BradCollier-zn2uc]

Yup my neice used to cry when her dad revved the Rbs and his v8 😂 I made a couple girls cry in my altezza 😂😂😂

[@romeoandjulification]

Thanks Mike! Makes us all proud to be a Kiwi! Hats off to the whole team....

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Legend taking care of that kid! I’ve been around so many people who won’t let kids in or around the cars. When I’m at shows I love letting them jump in the cars, sometimes fire them up and rev it if the situation allows. Gotta foster and grow the next generation of gear heads and that’s exactly how you do it!

[@Raysboostin]

I reckon Bruce Mclaren would be proud of what you built to show that KIwis can really fly. Great job to Mike and his crew.

[@adamrtr71]

They way you acknowledged the boy was perfect. Your true genuine character was shown to all then. Good on you 👍🇦🇺

[@Kiwi_Bayer]

My friend, that's the Australian flag. This is the NZ 🇳🇿

[@jameshatton4211]

Mikey, you brought tears to my eyes when you told that little tacker to sit in the drivers seat because he was scared 🥲 You are 100% a good dude. Respect

[@RotaryandRides]

This car and team was the main reason I booked up goodwood this year. To come away this year with my carbon fibre panel off my RX7 FD and some prints signed by mad mike was awesome plus having a general chat with whiddett family and team and capturing the start up moment in this video was just awesome feel privileged. Keep doing what you're doing for us fans, the hard work is definitely paying off 👏 🎉

[@chris8612]

Your teams production quality is insanely good. It shows how much y'all care.

[@flangmasterj]

Getting some Britten energy from your team. A small bunch of extremely talented guys showing what this small nation at the ass end of the world can do on the big stage. What a huge accomplishment guys. Done us proud.

[@yourmove9993]

The way Mike treated that young man when he got scared from MadMac was very telling for who is his. Top bloke and wish him and his family nothing but the best 🤘

[@jeffkeen6943]

The smile on that little dudes face was just awesome. That is a day he will remember forever…well done Mike!!!

[@Erik-f3n]

This car has straight up became my favourite car build in the entire world props up mate

[@beesong2450]

He lived up to his name. This was one mental project

[@_beefs]

I was there Sat & Sun, Mike took time to talk to each fan no rushing them through. Massive respect.

[@craigtuck1741]

well done Mike you and the team are incredible, very proud to be a kiwi and see you on the world stage showing how its down. thank you very proud of you and the team cheers

[@themrajjohnson]

The kid getting a sit in the car warmed my heart! I had a similar experience in a saleen s7 getting unloaded from daytona as a young teen- absolutely hooked me!

[@lewissilvio4740]

Watching this while having a few made me happy for everyone involved ,was even nice that he invited that kid to sit in the car. You are a nice guy. Thanks for the videos/entertainment ..

[@1kontrabida]

Mad Mike, Lanzante, Mclaren and the rest of the whole team and family hats off to u all for building something that started with a "What if" idea and turning it into an incredible machine, which is now part of motorsports history simply puts in the realm of Dreams do come true!

[@drft20B]

What a journey, what an amazing vehicle, thank you Mad Mike and Team for taking us along for the ride.

[@anthonyestevez118]

Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@keepitreet]

Amazing build! Huge achievement from the team to create another showstopping car 👌🏽🤙🏽

What a classy chap, popping that scared little dude in the drivers seat 🙌🏼

[@jasonvane9301]

Your a legend Mad Mike thank you for all the hard work you and your team do for your fans around the world

[@butch4481]

There is nobody on the face of this earth can throttle hit like he does You're a bad man Mad Mike keep smacking that throttle

[@youweesh8452]

Wow he slaughtered that clutch. I saw the previous uploads from others and thought it was fuel pressure loss. Poor kid was terrified 😂❤

[@dons1932]

Yeah honestly the way I saw him driving it at low speed on the coverage, how he continually revs the guts out of it and punches the clutch in and out I thought to myself - he must be murdering that clutch. Turns out he exactly was. I wonder if it's full carbon carbon because they usually eat up that kind of heat like it's nothing. A heavier flywheel would also help inertia to get it to move at low speed but then it wouldn't rev anywhere near as quickly. He just needs to go easier on it lol.

[@thatjdmfd]

@@dons1932 I'd be surprised if this entire car isn't bulletproof... Obviously such a build comes with a clutch that can handle it. You don't build something like this and forget a piece of the puzzle as common as the clutch. Also, him giving constantly revving can be due to the fact this 3 rotor is most likely race ported and does not like being driven at low RPM's. Staying on the throttle then is most likely a better choice / as good a choice as riding the clutch at 3K rpms constantly. But let's be honest, he also does it for the show, obviously!😂 But yeah, this has to be the gnarliest clutch by the way, probably adding to the difficulty of the engine being ported so much.

[@dylanburch5379]

I'm 34 now I wouldn't of been much older then the kid bought to tears in the crowd when I first started following mad mike on bebo from Australia drifting the rx7 with a matching livery camo slammed hiace. It's been a wild journey.

I could describe that car in alot of words, but I think one will do. Mental, absolutely mental. Awesome build, awesome builder👊

[@MrBackflip500]

MAD respect Mike. The dream team are legend and the beast was the eyecatcher of Goodwood. Best looking McLaren in my eyes. What a machine, congrats mate.

Massively wholesome moment there getting that kid through his fear. 10/10 Mike!

[@atheosxgaming]

Itd be super nice if content creator types looked at this. The top tier of automotive car personalities within his specialty building an ultra elite money isnt really an issue build and it debuted with gremlins and issues that couldve been ironed out.. IF people stopped playing the pointless game of WE HAVE SO MANY DAYS TO GET THE BUILD DONE!!.. Guys, we dont need the countdown, we just look forward to the end creation and what you can make it do. Take 12 months or 5 years for all i care. Get it right and blow us away.

[@Powertampa]

Sell parts of all the clutches it has smoked so far, might finance and least one new one xD It's begging for a bigger one. You are putting a lot of power through such a small part. It needs mass to distribute the heat and have enough surface area to dissipate it. Either that or active cooling.
