"Why tf would you do all this for these wheels? Have some new ones made. Custom wheels would solve the problem. What wheels could be worth this effort?" You're not wrong. But I like the wheels I've chosen and I want to run them. I think they'll make the car. Plenty of you guys, though, are going to be disappointed. Patience, though... time will reveal all.

[@Goonak_]

Having actual racecar wheel on the the car and knowing they've been used in a or more races makes it that much cooler, the only thing I would like is to see that little pointing hand showing the details of the wheels 😁

[@barkanellichasingdreams4142]

Have you had 58 episodes on this car?

[@WWMike12]

Unfortunately, you fell into the issue I was hoping wouldn't happen! The idea of the 2 inch 7075 plate was to allow you to set all mounting holes on your "blank" spindle - that includes hub depth, upper/lower arm pivot points, brake mounting in relation to wheel offset. That, and an adjustable upper A arm! I hope you're not too far behind! Sending positive vibes! Careful on the wheels. If they were used for racing, you've got quite a few heat cycles on the aluminum and therefore, more prone to cracking.

[@pelon484moravia]

We stand by your design brother!

[@anggaksm9875]

Just keep up create your modification, it's your car, so use your imajination bcause it's your car. Never use reference the other guy who make same custom, become different is not bad thooo👍

[@Iunio92]

Honestly, my only feedback is that I don't feel like you need to apologise about episodes turning out the way they do - 'sorry there wasn't so much action today' etc. A build is a multifaceted, complex endeavour that's going to vary day to day. This content is insanely good and highlights just how impressive a job you're doing, and I think the vast majority of your audience understand that.

[@MathiasHeinel]

Lunio92, things learnt from different parts of life: Shit happens (like the arrival of the gear box) and you are on schedule and have a finishing date set, so you can't always expect the perfect KZbin experience.

[@ranggaatmaja5515]

nice likes btw

I love how this car is nothing I would ever look for in a ferrari - no ferrari engine note, not red, no gated shifter, yet its cooler than anything I could imagine 🍻

[@aaaronic_arts]

B and K Series engines are closer to a Ferrari engine note than any engine that is... not a Ferrari.

[@LooseNut099]

You’re the man! It has been a pleasure watching you through this journey. Your courage in taking on the myriad challenges is exemplary. I look forward to seeing you win races after all the hard work you’ve put into the 308.

[@stanceworks]

I don’t think I’ll win any races in the car. But it’ll be fun to drive and fun to look at. That’s all I’m after.

[@c2specmotoring]

All the CAD drawings scattered like that would make for an awesome poster!

[@Javalitis04]

You mentioned your rambling ... personally I love it ... I'm a car guy and would LOVE to have an uber project like your 308 some day. Your ramblings make me think of how I'd go about a project. Things to think about, things I may not have even thought about etc. Like you said - you're doing this for a reason, there's a purpose; so why not do it RIGHT even if it takes a few trials and errors. AND you want it to look a certain way because ... it's YOUR car. Cheers! And can't wait to keep watching!

[@lukasgarage956]

As long as quality hub centric spacers ( H&R, Eibach ) and longer wheel studs are used there are no issues with spacers.

[@joao_bridge]

A whole host of race car teams use spacers to dial in front and rear track width, sometimes at the track to dial in bias. Hub centric spacers, longer wheel studs and making sure that you are torquing your nuts is totally safe and a good tool to have when you need to really dial in your car.

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Scrub radius as mentioned. Also throws off your camber/bump steer calculations whilst the front wheels are turned.

[@there_is_nothing_here]

when Mike Burroughs starts his videos out smiling and hyped you know something went right haha

[@chrisgreen1094]

Wheel spacers aren’t a problem. I used to supply Braid competition wheels and if the customer wanted a lower than usual offset Braid would supply the wheels with a spacer that they would attach to the wheel. They would drill and countersink the spacer and then drill and tap the mounting face of the wheel and bolt the spacer directly to the wheel. You could barely tell the space was there.

[@inopian]

Fikse does that too and they sell to ALOT of race teams

[@alman6581]

Quote.... You don't talk too much. Perfect to hear your thought process. Best channel at the moment..... Loving the walk throughs. 👏😎

[@officialTHREETWENTYdotcom]

Second comment on one video from me, because I wanted to chime in. Keep talking, keep sharing, keep explaining. Anyone can look at a finished build and see the end result of all the decision making, trial-and-error, and development, but documenting a build like this is the opportunity for us to learn more about it, get "in your head" and follow along with the same hurdles you're facing, engineering goals you're reaching for, and decisions you're making along the way.

[@lawrences1347]

Hahaha that B roll of the shift knob had me laughing. ☝️

[@c2specmotoring]

Feedback... just keep it coming! I’m just happy that there is a build I look forward to twice a week! You’re killing it man!

[@michaelcoffin4364]

Mike, an in depth detailed video(s) of the suspension design process would be absolutely fantastic. For example, where do you start, what's next, etc. As one who is trying to learn suspension design for my own projects. It's a daunting task understanding where to start. You having done several now, along with your presentation style. I believe a video or several outlining the decision making process, how one thing effect another, how to manage everything with in reason would give the automotive community great value. I know for me personally, it would be priceless.

[@matthias6439]

My god, this build is so so much better thought out and overall pleasing than all the other ones on youtube (well, maybe all but binky. But that's a whole different kind of car). Weird that I just stumbled onto it by chance, you deserve 10 times the attention imho. Keep up the great and inspiring work, I'll be off to watch the whole thing now. I can't stress enough how satisfying it is to watch something done properly and professionally. Thank you.

[@stanceworks]

Thank you!

[@armanopepe1]

Bro I got all the patience in the world when it comes to an epic build like yours. Always look forward to your updates. Keep them coming even if you don’t think it’s worthy. Love all the details.

[@moritzdo8305]

You are NOT talking to much! Just longer videos with more "silent" shots would be amazing. Kinda makes it more chill to watch.

[@scrubscriber4911]

Loving the determination to get everything right, despite all the challengers. That’s the difference between being able to buy aftermarket off the shelf and being bespoke. Enjoying the process is all part of the journey and building the bond as well as the car.

[@kreparAZ]

you dont talk too much. its helpful to hear the why and honesty. you kick ass dude. great update

[@tomchamberlain4329]

Loving this build man. And control arms look like a part that needs redesigning constantly, I see it as necessary.

[@davidjohnson8474]

I have to say I really like the trans! Its a company that make an awesome product!!I just wish they werent insanely expensive!!!Oh the spacers wont hurt anything I know from personal use when I worked on a nascar team we used them ALL the time!I like what you did for the control arms.The one thing I will remind you is make sure you make extra of your control arms after you get a test drive so you have spares.The one thing that really sucks is be at the track and have one fail and have to packup and go home!I still think in the end you are gonna make your own mounting spots but you wont know until you drive it hard.

[@1234567890CAB]

Make sure you use hub-centric wheel spacers, most cheap wheel spacers only rely on the wheel studs to locate and support the wheel. The wheel is meant to be supported laterally by that small ring that sticks out in the center of the hub. Hub-centric wheel spacers have a lip that fits over that ring and another lip that fits into the wheel.

[@atwntennisclub]

Bro, like a lot of other comments here don't worry about apologising or thinking parts of your videos might bore your viewers. Your down to earth persona, detailed communication and the quality of this build speaks volumes. We are all here for it in all aspects! Eagerly awaiting the next episode 🙏

[@timgosling6189]

I think the contention over spacers is that sometimes they are added without accounting for the increased stress on hubs and suspension, leading to predictable failures. Of course those who race 308s are also familiar with Enzo's failure to engineer enough margin into the OEM hubs to avoid fatigue fracture. Pimped-up, body-kitted cars also have a bad rep because they are often put together without heed to the dire effects on overall geometry, but it looks like you are all over the potential pitfalls and will end up with a great handling and great looking car. Oh, and excellent lug nuts!

[@kieranjamieson]

The bad reputation spacers have is caused by all the different mistakes people regularly make when fitting them. There are the geometry issues you mention but I've also seen bolts/studs that are too short many times and installations that give no consideration to hub centric wheels so they vibrate badly.

[@samagon00]

low quality generic spacers end up giving all spacers a bad name. you end up with holes that are too big for the studs, or the spacer isn't hub centric (when applicable), and so it doesn't sit between the hub and wheel in a way that gives the best contact between all mating surfaces, or isn't aligned correctly. just bad. good spacers are safe and effective for their purpose.

[@xagvsx1521]

Awesome gearbox and wise decision to re do control arms once again. It's clear that you are a guy who takes the long road instead of shortcuts. Really enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work!

[@xN1NJ4smurfx]

Did anyone else catch themselves leaning left to try and catch a glimpse of the wheel at 9:11? 😆 Awesome episode as always mate, love your work! No apologies needed, it's all brilliant 🔥 Hyped for the next ep!!!

[@maycodesignandengineering7514]

I think you doing great. This is a very complex build, People are used to seeing guys building cars in a week with crapy paint and of the shelve parts. That is not real life for something like this, look at Project Binky for example. It is a good ballance between engineering, talking, explaining, working and fabrication. As an engineer myself designing cars I understand the thought process. It is a constant pro's and con's game. Especially if you start from scratch. You have to set your values and design around it like you explain in this video with the brake setup. The most difficult thing with a build like this is picking an option and sticking with it. On my channel i am designing an ultra light electric kit car. and i am constantly batteling weight v.s. costs. Keep up the good work. Hope your suppliers are able to keep up with your progress and there is no curveball in Las Vegas this year..... (hope I did not Jinx it..)

[@myturkishlife1777]

It is YOUR car YOUR design, we are just coming along for the ride,your doing a great job 👍 Sometimes you have to make something just to see how you're going make it .. Great content 👍

[@chadhanson8182]

I appreciate that you add all your thoughts and decision making in the video. It really makes me understand the journey better. And what to expect when I start my future build.

[@lucasdamask]

Dude, you bought the best transmission money can buy, I work on a lot of Hillclimb cars since I live in Europe, and most of them run Quaife transmissions or internals, the only side note is that it is a racing transmission, it will buck like crazy in low-speed traffic on the street. "Because racecar" kkkkk, most custom racecars run wheel spacers, but most of them don't go over 1 1/2 inch since that is the limit when the wheel bearing starts to wear out and keep in mind that a wheel spacer affects the scrub radius in the car no matter the size of it.

[@base2385]

Man I like how you look at things, your care of attention to detail, is unmatched! you're the man, keep being you

[@Goonak_]

The KZbin algorithm brought me here, and I'm glad it did, expect more subs to come!

[@silvrbreez]

LOL at 3:54 with the pointy finger rotating the shift knob. Well done!

[@nathanmellott2262]

Dude you are absolutely killing this build in the best way possible. I've been following since episode 1 and Tuesdays and Thursdays are actually exciting for me. I'm a mechanic by trade and working on cars these days isn't really that exciting anymore, but this build has re-ignited my passion for building cars. So thank you. Seriously.

[@stanceworks]

I appreciate that immensely!

[@wabbit103]

I've ran spacer on my time attack car for years. I used to think I was flirting with trouble but when I saw just about every top time attack car in Japan (1000+hp cars) running them (bolt on) I gave up on working. Hub bearings are once a season wear items anyway and you changed hubs to make that part simple . Keep it up man

[@ashirmalik905]

You are not going easy on this build And i love it keep it up

[@jsquared1013]

Mike "Control Arm" Burroughs 😆 I let out a bit of a chuckle when I saw the revised one in the intro sequence. So feedback.... might want to go ahead and triangulate that new lower control arm, either with extending the tube along the "angle" of the leg until it intersects with the other leg, or with a gusset.

[@pete1973x]

Oh man, that gearbox! And that gearknob!!! I fitted a quickshifter to my 90's sportsbike bike and honestly, shifting gear at wide open throttle is just about better than s*x ;-)

[@RealRickCox]

When I first saw your channel's name, I assumed your forte was suspension. So from that perspective, you're not letting us down by putting so much time and effort into this aspect of the build. Can't wait to see the findal product!

[@natefessler3961]

I, for one, appreciate the depth and clarity you bring us each week. Got any plans for those prototype control arms? I'm thinking either a modern art piece for your shop, or start shipping them out to fans with merch orders.

The secret to keeping quaife to last is really nailing the settings for shift cut and throttle blipping in the ecu... We changed ecu to emtron and the gearbox lasts much much longer...

[@marcelotosin931]

I’d love to see the details of the design of the suspension, including measurements and equipment, the suspension modeling software and how you use it to develop the resulting suspension parts.

[@battleaxesoldier]

I appreciate the effort put into the suspension, and enjoyed your thought dump in this video.

[@csgarage3682]

I have one request/suggestion. Find a way to glue/bolt the Ferrari gated plate onto the dash as a demonstration of respect for this iconic piece. It wont take a lot of room ( couple of sq inches..) and it will mark the heritage of the car Just food for thought...cheers.

[@arcadiagreen150]

So far I'm subbed to these channels with a turbo k series NOT in a car they came in. - Nissan Cefiro (Taylor Ray) - Toyota MR-2 (Boosted boiz) - Honda Odyssey minivan (Boosted boiz) - Acura NSX (Boosted boiz) - Smart for two ( Fasterproms) - Subaru WRX STi (Emilios world) - Ferrari 308 (Stanceworks) - Toyota Corolla 86 (Hert/Hoonigan) Probably more but they are older AWD civics and I don't know if those count like Kyle's Wago and Trevor's yellow AWD Civic.

I love seeing this build progress! One thing I was told when trying to make something perfect is, "don't let great get in the way of good enough." In the grand scheme of a project is spending the extra time and effort to get that 1% better worth it? But that's something you justify for yourself and only you can answer that.

[@stanceworks]

[@refiii9499]

Wheels spacers 100% affect scrub radius! They also and probably the most important affect braking stability. Another thing they affect is spring rate at the wheel. You can fix two of these when using spacers but becomes extremely costly due to the need of shocks and springs needing to be custom but you can’t fix the brake stability. I’ve never heard of brake stability being solved when spacers are used. It would be better to have a rim made to accept what your looking for. Many companies will custom make a rim to the exacts you are looking for including style.

[@stanceworks]

I understand that. These spacers won’t have that effect because I am building the wheels with the spacers in mind.

[@JamesPerry63]

If you review Restopower KZbin channel the built a Mark 1 Ford Escort for Gordon Murray and they had special software which allows them to design suspension from scratch.
