I'm laughing at all these clowns in these comments bitching that "oh it's only fast in a straight line." Who cares? You don't need to build a car that can win LeMans and also crack off 6.5 seconds in the quarter! Make something you like, if you want to make an old truck do 9s, make an old truck do 9s. If you want to make a Miata defeat 911s at autocrosses, do that! Every car doesn't have to be built to dominate every field. This truck is fucking cool. That's what matters. :)

I totally agree with him on the low buck thing. you don't need to swap out factory suspension for expensive multi-link. on a mopar for example. the factory leaf/torsion bars will take you a long way. in my pictures(don't remember which album its in) you'll find a 69 dodge dart gts in grey primer. we had a 340/727, cast iron block/heads. it ran on pump gas, daily driver. it didn't even have hei ignition. it was a factory dual point ignition. factory suspension except for the traction bars. full interior. full steel body. we ran on street tires. it was all motor, absolutely no turbo/SC or nitrous. at that time nitrous was viewed as cheating. nobody respected anyone that used nitrous. most of us viewed nitrous as something guys who couldn't build an engine used. anyway, we were turning 10.3@137mph on street tires in the early 1980s. people nowadays don't believe it, because they cant do it. it CAN be done, but you need to be willing to stop thinking you know everything and LISTEN to those "old guys". there's all kinds of little tips and tricks that add up.

Thank you, my little hatch back that I brought for about 280 has a 1.1 ltr engine and tops out at about 110mph, but ive spent about 400 lowering it, fitting stiffer shocks/springs, replacing a few worn O.E parts (lower arms etc), de-cat section and a set of semi slicks (avon cr500's), aswell as stripping out the whole interior. Now I can easily out handle cars like 325is and fiesta st's down windy country roads.

[@Kneedragon1962]

3 minutes in, going to stop there and agree with him. I like fast cars, and bikes, and I did once (many years ago) race gokarts. Then I went to circuit racing 600 superstock bikes, and my roadbike was a ZX14. You can build a shockingly fast car or bike for not a whole lot of money, particularly if your contest involves no corners. But that may or may not be legal. It may or may not keep running if there's any rain. It may still be running without a rebuild after a year, and it may score pussy like a Ferrari LaFerrari but probably won't. You want a toy that's going to tick all the boxes, and that will be a bit less than 2 meelion thanx... Don't have that? Shame, me neither... So we compromise. What can I afford, and what can I do without?

[@justsumguy2u]

You don't need money to build a fast car, but you do need to spend a little if you actually want it to hold together. Anyone can put a big turbo on a four cylinder for relatively cheap, and it will be fast.....right up to the point where it blows the connecting rods out of the block. My point is that any engine you modify has to be able to take the additional hp, and depending upon what engine you have, you might need to spend some money to make it more bulletproof.

[@team3383]

Sooooo Coooool. YES you can make almost anything go very fast BUT don't forget upgrading the brakes if you want to drive it on the roads...

I want a car that isn't only fun to drive, but fun to look at, take photos of, etc. Flashy is unapologetically me.

[@TH3C001]

+Mark Gibbons I'd like to quote NickWayne100 who commented this in reply to the guy you're talking about, "Is this guy serious? Who buys headers for the way they look? Who buys any performance part for how it looks under the hood. We buy it because it produces results." I would say there is a spectrum when it comes to appearance. Dirt cheap junkyard parts that work and make power but are incredibly filthy or grimy is at one end, super shiny and pretty yet sometimes expensive and even ineffective parts are at the other. It all seems to be about balance. Parts that aren't rusted or nasty, but clean, and nothing too showy, just have everything look neat and tidy and new. And let the car do the rest.

[@Burban12]

[@jclark1693]

And it’s cool to be flashy. The thing issue is that the industry mostly caters to flashy. There’s not as much support or information on budget building and tuning. There’s less people promoting the idea of making it work more than making it look good. I’m somewhere in between. I want power, but I want reliable. I want functionality but I do want it to look good. I don’t want to waste loads of money on things I don’t need.

From what i have found over the years the initial Range rover Evoque and the Ford explorer look to share a similar platform.

+master power Ohhhh we got a regular Gordon Murray over here....

[@DWinzZz]

that's because those "ricers" throw their car so low it scrapes and have so much camber they use 5% of the tire, suspension mods done right will out corner a car with stock suspension 99.9% of time, straight line speed is fun but I'd rather have a car that can handle that speed before the car turns out to be a mustang and slam into crowds. EDIT: I also guarantee any fast drag car does not have stock suspension or tires you need proper suspension to go fast

[@Cricis11700]

master power you are a fucking idiot.

[@sagebarbee842]

master power your a fucking ricer... you can do shit with power unless you have control (where suspension comes to play)

[@jtrut6365]

that exhaust pop at 1:28 sounds nice!

[@evanmoscaritolo]

as someone from the lehigh valley, it's so weird to see rcr driving on rt 22. mr regular, if you ever wanna review a 2005 forester xt (with much more than stock power) let me know!!

[@toothpik00]

RegularCars 9:16 This is why even NA Subarus feel so good. ALL the power gets to the ground and stays there.

[@thehandlesticks66]

hell ya, saw that truck on the sloppy fb page, sounds killer

[@AbsintheMindMatt]

one of our shop trucks (a 2008 Colorado) just blew its 4cyl motor. pretty sure I've got a lead on an LQ4......I might have to do this.

[@Jacob_098]

I love how Matt says he's going to put a muffler on it in this video lol. how's that hood exhaust treating ya? hahaha

[@MrGamerschannel]

Which is faster? The vehicle? or the passenger going through the windshield since he doesn't wear a seatbelt? (so it appears)

[@bud215]

you really need your own podcast.

[@GJKPzcsw]

Listen, there is a rule that applies to most things in life but especially cars. You can have it cheap, high performance, or very reliable but you only get to pick two of the options.

0' Man, when he mentioned the carburetor I about died, he's so right. My cousins husband has a 850 double pumper on his about 350 horsepower 350, I had a 454 Keith Black built to 650 horsepower and about 750 torque, and I only had a 650 double pumper, and that's all I needed.

[@CaptnP00pyP4nts]

I have a 2007 Chevy Colorado 5 cylinder. My main cylinder misfires but other than that the truck is great. I watch these videos with the same truck and I just get sad. No money, since I'm a broke 20 something college student, but I'm hopeful to keep my truck and turn it into a sleeper just like this. How much money would I need to turn it into a monster?

[@benjaminslayton4335]

Is this computer tuning? Can I dial my '04 Explorer without buying a crapload of aftermarket 4.6 Mustgang parts? It's Eddie Bauer, 4.6, RWD. I think stock power is 238-ish. I thought about putting a Ford Racing intake manifold and a Flowmaster system, but not a "Filter Charger" kit. I would like to get some moderate power and torque gains, especially low-end power, but would like to have gains across the power-band.

[@matty1234a1]

Exept diesel power, first 200 is cheap everything past that is 10k+

[@nathanvanegmond2678]

haha hovering over that horn because of that "I'm not planning ahead" CRV

[@Ryukachoo]

this sounds like a case study in unforseen reliability issues. I guarantee their stuff runs great then starts falling apart and they spend a large amount of time chasing problems. I have a bad feeling they got a lot of very, very cheap chinese ebay parts that definitely will not last.

[@BayLuv87]

amazing street truck.looks fun..and you make a lot of good points.I'm in the process of a junkyard build... #Lemons

[@hondamxbmx692]

Sorry if i missed this but how did the wiring harness match up? did you use the one from the vehicle you got the motor out of or did you just use the existing one.

[@SnakeVenomTV12191]

i live right by that highway and drive it very often, it's so weird to see it in a youtube video

[@propaneandpropaneaccessori3446]

Want a cheap stock fast truck? Dakota r/t. Quickest truck I drove. 360 v8 damn thing spun like nothing

[@thedave7760]

This guy needs to be on "Hot Rod Garage."

[@countvlad8984]

This man is my hero!

[@PATuners]

Matt's the man
