REBUILDING My LUDICROUS Ariel Atom With PFI Speed

[@PFIBrent]

I honestly had so much fun. Such a fun project and great friends and rad vibe ! I cannot wait until we do it again! What is it about a rad time lapse that’s so satisfying. Great video!

[@shiTthebed86]

Great to see you guys together.

[@nickgeorgiakakis7249]

Hey Brent have you got a video series of the engine rebuild?

[@captainjacksnap]

Shout out to Brent for having the best attitude of any KZbinr out

[@mobilechaosyt]

It was great to see PFI and WatchJRGo work together. Definitely on the same page when it comes to content. FYI. All hard engine start videos are fabricated. All of them started fine the first time, but then things were removed to add a little more content to the anti climatic start. They just don't do it for Honda engines to keep the mystic of how easy Honda's are to get running.

[@n84434]

Ladies and Gentlemen: BMX legend Brent Leivistad 👍

[@ObsessedAuto]

Thanks for letting me tag along! This is one nasty machine!!! 🔥💯🤙🏼

[@dotlaj]

You and JR have a good friendship that is coming through in the video's.

[@mattclinch1976]

I'm so glad you colabed with PFI. He needs the support and love like this from every youtuber that can help him!

[@69Dartman]

Like I said in PFI's thread I bet your happy you listened to all of us that suggested you let Brent work on it. Now you have a cool car and a new friend 👍

[@Cruzomeda]

It's fun to be hanging out with people who are super passionate about cars. Watching them shoot the breeze about the car, little side projects and having fun with them, and goofing off (jet fighter mode). Great content.

[@alexandermckay8594]

JR, "Remove the shocks" and Kyle's like "Any more tidbits?" Priceless!

[@theslavsyndicate8524]

There was never a better time in the KZbin car world. I love how everyone supports each other with their projects. Keep supporting these guys because without them we wont see any cool projects and colabs like these. Cheers

[@MichaelMullane]

Best colab ever. I hope this serves to grow both of your channels. You're both great guys and excellent KZbin creators.

[@Fibs4Tibs]

Dude at the end talking about the salvage yard plane wings.. straight black hands from working. Love to see that.

[@adamtaylor7867]

WHAT! Great collaboration, "The greatest car ever ? Being built by the greatest guy ever. Your blessed to have Brent and his team finish your build. Lots of love from Nova Scotia

[@truthseekerdanny]

love that 1992 / 1993 honda accord coupe in the background in the beginning.. would love to see that one right next to mine. awesome

[@msb6100]

just watched the segment on PFI speed--this is gonna be good!

[@helicopter269]

A little tip next time the engine is out weld 2 chassis tubes on it if you look at a 3.5 r chassis you will see where they go from the top of the top rail to the top of the upright on the bottom rail that window screen mount front comes of and you can see all the wireing under the dash

[@vspencer9764]

It’s 6am here and I wish I could watch this all the way through but I’ve got to get ready for work.

[@scottcol23]

its almost 1am where I live. I should be getting ready for bed. One more video (famous last words)

[@SteveBassen]

Gonna be so epic. That bigboy Walbro's the GOAT; you're gonna want one for your newest acquisition so it can run some corn juice

[@rankzwazhere]

John Ross is super passionate about all these builds honestly such a joy to watch.

[@billchurch1145]

Great to see this build on the front burner!

[@michaelstasyszyn8857]

Yeah... I also had my mind go into the gutter when JR said "Let's begin the mating process".

[@turbotempest4095]

I enjoyed both video's. One comment did stand out to me in the PFI video....."we did it the smart way" I thought it rather small.

[@nickgeorgiakakis7249]

And 7 hours later the 15 minute engine install was complete.

[@ObsessedAuto]

*one eternity later* haha

[@drewwrobel564]

JR: "It's like pushing a wagon." Hoovie: "Like a Buick Roadmaster?"

[@ajw828]

YES! Can't wait to see this thing ripping around with all the power.

[@Bird_Brain_Dave]

I watched this also on PFIs channel before here and you guys made it look way easier here to get the engine in place. The struggle is real boys!

[@jasoniannantuono7341]

im digging the maroon honda accord...f22 power, although probably engine swapped

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

You don't need antiseize on exhaust nuts, as long as you have the brass kind

[@OuchesVonDoom]

watching this for the third time best collab ever

[@thelifeofjessejames]

I'm glad that Ned got you there safely. Ned being the Platinum of course

[@Raindrops4891]

dang bro i live right down the road from pfi would have been so cool to meet you

[@alansmith4734]

5:10 Kyle, since the Ariel Atom is made in the UK, they have Meccano, not Erector Sets. I learned this while watching James May, from Top Gear. Here is an example of his Meccano Motorcycle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXTcqaPmpeefK8 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meccano

[@ObsessedAuto]

Fair enough! 😂🤙🏼

[@TheRoughGo]

Man, I really like seeing Kyle on the channel! And seeing Brent was great! You guys should work together a little more

[@RazoE]

If John ever started rapping, his channel would be known as WatchJRFlow

[@mikescott6647]

Hahaha for real, He has a video of him rapping!

[@Cartier_specialist]

Actually at the intro to all his videos he sounds more like an auctioneer because he says everything so fast.

[@burgercheeseburger]

@@mikescott6647 Where??

[@jrmason]

I'm surprised you didn't break out the AN fittings for the fuel lines. I started to use them and don't wan to use anything else. Very versatile and functional! -Jon

[@dreamabilityCB7]

Ahh!!! There is Smiley's CB7 Coupe. Can't wait to see what it does when it gets back to Texas 😍.

[@100PercentJake]

Ariel Atom vs UGR Huracan let's goooooooooo

[@ROKKET71]

A dedicated spark-plug gapper?? No way. Put the feeler gauge in the gap then smack it on the bench! 😆

[@caseybhargraves3696]

Somebody invented a solution to a problem that never existed.

[@WatchJRGo]

I feel so bad doing that, the gaps aren’t that consistent and sometimes you pinch the feeler gauge 😬

[@unstablebobgable]

If I could work on the Ariel Atom with Watch JR Goes I would drink the cold Bartle Skeets and roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.

[@sirroundsound9104]

Nice cameo from Ken Kaniff lol

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

*_"Its hard to portray exactly what this is...."_* Some say, Its a road legal F1 car. And it feels like a Go Kart on steroids. All me know is that its called the *Ariel Atom*

[@solexxx8588]

Not road legal most places.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

@@solexxx8588 according to their wiki: *"The Ariel Atom is a road legal high performance sports car made by the Ariel Motor Company based in Crewkerne, Somerset, England, and under license in North America by TMI Autotech, Inc. at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia."* YMMV as every country has its own laws but there is nothing that states that you cant buy one and make it road legal for your part of the world.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

"Six O ring setup - No fuel pressure will be lost" 🤣

[@B0xlife1]

The pfi guy looks like Ted dansen when he smiles! Lol

[@jcmerchan5336]

Late night drops. The best.

[@goldfishninja8086]

PFI Speed brought me here. Subbed.

[@robertwanless2025]

Did you cap that fuel line at the pump?

[@VampyrMygg]

"These tires are soft" (punches the Terminator theme.) Why is it some melodies just seem to get ingrained in our DNA? :P

I hope you are headed to Shift S3ctor Indy! I was sad that we didn’t get a chance to line up the Palatov D2 and the Atom while we were both in KS.

[@MysteicVoltronus]

I have never seen a single episode of Top Gear. Probably never will.

[@Mikes84Corvette]

Great video. But I bet you wish they put the same attention to detail into engine reliability that they did on zip tie mounting points.

[@albertcoburn5674]

Fired right up!

[@glassvial]

Ludicrous...Speed...I see what you did there 😎

[@scottcol23]

I love those Kirkey's in the Atom. WAY better than the plastic molded seats that are stock. Anyway Ive been waiting for this time to come! I can honestly say I look forward to the daily JR video when I get home from work more than any others out there! keep kill'n it! Cheers from New Orleans!

[@squirlly7328]

I want to keep everyone happy so I use Loc-Tite and Anti Seize on every bolt!

[@TheBarberShopScott]

Let's go!!

[@jeffrogers2180]

500 horsepower in a thing that light? Well, thanks for the videos, it was good while it lasted...

[@haroldboyer1174]

Awesome video JR.

[@steveluken3180]

I'm thinking, it's summer. It's nice out. Let's drive it home and set a Ft. Lupton to Wichita time record.

[@toolzshed]

That was awesome 🤘🏽🔥

[@kerrylewis2581]

Ain't no loch ness monster gonna catch that atom with "Fi Fiddy" horsepower.

[@johnds6621]

You need to get the new Ariel Atom it's so cool.

[@jasonw3303]

She’s alMost ready to take flight.

[@dubdaze68]

Seriously. Tillett seats and real Atom headlights.

[@WatchJRGo]

I need the headlights so badly... everyone says skunkworks is horrible though 😢

[@armandopatane5343]

Good job guys

[@ryan3859]

I think you should do a no oil challenge road trip with Alex from legit street cars. You both buy a car of your choice for $1000, spend 12 hours prepping them for the journey, drain the oil, and send it. Whoever makes it furthest wins.

[@dandel351]

We need to line up Kater ToT for a race!!!!!

[@1EyeInTheSky]

When did Dana Carvey start working on cars?

[@chrisc1623]

just watched this I'm waiting for the Dyno test tomorrow....lol

[@Cartier_specialist]

I'm thinking you're going to need some slightly wider rear tires. The power to weight ratio is in Suzuki Hayabusa territory or possibly better. I can't even imagine how fast that will be and I had a motorcycle with 200 horsepower that only weighed 500 pounds +or- and it was *INSANE* .

[@31dknight]

Love the atom.

[@SSJ2and13man]

Legit need you to upload the new beat 😂 it's been a really dope beat the last few videos.

[@that1guy82]

I dunno why but its bugging me the back tires don't have covers. Drive down a gravel road or lot. I bet it would spit rocks everywhere like a machine gun

[@nlemonj]

In the video where he was first driving it, it does.

[@that1guy82]

@@nlemonj musta missed that episode. Hopefully he fixes it b4 someone claims he broke something

It's nice to be small you can fit anywhere lol haha. Great job you guys.

That was awesome ...👍😂

[@jeraldhite9744]

I would have been tempted to cut that hoop off the back and make it removable. So cool though!!

[@gs3504]

Looks like the nap flat spotted JR's hair!! Oops!!

[@davidandrews9670]

so deathflags are kinda like the punch line in “Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry”. after all they’d been through the female lead with Fonda says “I think we made it”. just before they got whacked by a train.

[@mcgregor711]

This would have been perfect at the Freedom Factory one on one drags.

[@jamesjames3525]

Don't break it again. Try and keep it together.

[@schalkvandermerwe4160]

I think a cow licked the back of JR’s head😂

[@yrasphong]

Kinda looked like a Honda engine..a k20 to be more exact...shit it is a k20..dam a turbo k20..good build JR

I'm sure the actual best car ever is subjective and no two people's top 10 lists will be the same.

Regarding the exhaust manifold, just say no to crack. Oh, and just say no to the haters who thumbs-downed this video.

[@helicopter269]

that fuel pump and sender unit are junk i cut my tank open and made a internal swirl pot with a walbro 450

[@RemedialRob]

I'm not looking to jinx or anything but as a long time watcher of Demolition Ranch, Hoovie, Tavarish, and now JR of course I find myself experiencing a very bad feeling about tomorrow. When someone says the kind of stuff You guys said in this video... You need to take care. The universe sees that kind of shit as a challenge from a mouthy kid! You guys need to stop firing out "death flags" and focus on defusing them instead. Or tomorrow could end up far more interesting than you might want or care for. Choose safety my friends!

[@Yaboybash]

What do you mean “death flags”

[@RemedialRob]

@@Yaboybash a simple example of a death flag is not telling the woman you love you want to marry her. And when your friend encourages you to do it now before you head off to join the military you say something like "Ill tell her as soon as I make it home." Say something like that and war will break out and kill your ass before you ever see that woman again. A death flag is a commitment to doing something important right after you complete something dangerous. Like JR saying "I can't wait to daily drive this thing but first tomorrow we need to do some serious pull, drive it like 20/miles and dyno it and hey maybe a track run even though they will kick us out after one run due to safety!"

[@Yaboybash]

@@RemedialRob I think it’s just youtubers speaking in excitement beforehand, I guess to make it sound more engaging and grab attention, I I wouldn’t worry too much
