Here's the latest installment in the Street Sleeper build, I hope you enjoy it! Thank you for the excellent support and kind words as always!

[@mdoe8]

Tom's Turbo Garage Can I shamelessly plug my idea in again? Mentioned an idea to remove the entire front clip of the car!

[@twistedneedles4326]

Tom's Turbo Garage hey Tom I'm a big fan and I was wondering your tool preference if u could do a video on that it would be awesome

[@stepheno9569]

Can't wait for the next one.

[@awdx4g63]

Do you take customers' car, like DSMs?

[@zjostedt]

The Edits and comedy is just awesome!

[@jronayne88]

^^ this

[@revolutionday1]

Probably not.

[@mick2302]

agree is that StarCraft

[@mrb1252]

Tob Sjo I almost choked when the more you know edit came on, Tom's a funny guy!

[@invinciblejets4690]

Sun screen can be a nightmare sometimes. Happens to all of us.

[@stiggear4828]

Man, I didn't think your video's could improve much. But this is hilarious! Thanks Tom, I love your style of working and details!

[@briangreen6602]

Loving the more regular uploads.

[@chasemc69]

tom has an American dad power chin.

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Nana didn't want to touch you with her "dirty" hands on your shop cloth there haha, she seems lovely

[@Jeffball610]

I like this hybrid style of vlog and your usual camera set up/storytelling. +1 for Jack's Transmissions

[@Sloppyjalopy123]

glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor. And I sure wish I had your budget for my DSM. you must make a good living. nice family values too.

[@MarioFunk]

I'm really enjoying your new format & videos, Tom (not that I didn't enjoy your old videos and formats!), and look forward to your weekly updates!

[@ozman1975]

Lol.... I love my Shep trans too buddy. I cried when I opened my box, so beautiful. Awesome progress Tom!

[@wannamaker77]

Go Nana! Representin' the, "Socks and sandals" crowd.

[@JoeWrenches]

Love it Tom! I need more errands in my videos!

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Haha! Do a grocery run!

[@JoeWrenches]

I can't wait for Grocery runs in the race car!

[@Jeffball610]

I use some painters tape on my wrenches to prevent scratching AN fittings. It's not too thick as to ruin tolerances, and it comes off easy when you're done.

[@JamieBainbridge]

Electrical tape or plumbers Teflon tape also do well 👍

[@gpaine]

I'm so happy Tom finally got a haircut. Now that his low-hanging bangs have been cut back, they won't swipe sunscreen in his eyes.

[@VelocityLabs]

10:58 I had no idea. NO. IDEA. The past 2 years have been nothing but #carguybabylife , it's amazing you were able to get anything done lol

[@TomsTurboGarage]

Haha, and that's our third one! There's basically no time for anything.

[@twinturbo_trent4181]

You probably already know this Tom but a good idea for keeping your fittings looking like new is using tape on your wrenches. Seen it on a episode of Finnegans Garage, been a long time subscriber keep up the good videos.

[@weeman860wee6]

tom your such a stand up guy really love the video's man you really deserve many more subscribers. i enjoy watching your video's you have some sweet cars and a sweet garage man, cheers to one million plus subscribers in no time.

[@TomsTurboGarage]

+weeman860 wee Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate that! Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@eckopoppin]

Pleaseeeeee more of the "the more you know" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@charlieimpacto]

Love your videos! Thanks for the amount of content you've been uploading!

[@TehScotsman]

My go to for AN fittings is the next size bigger wrench and a few strips of electrical tape. Also works great to cover sockets on expensive wheels you don't want to scratch.

[@MrRpalm69]

car ocd on a whole new level... amazing work

[@fardrol]

Love the lowkey ETCG dig

[@Trials-and-Tribulations]

I think I've heard that you peed your pants too, when you met John Shep =)

[@superLostspartan]

Nana was wearing socks with saddles. Shes definitely has a style of her own lol!

[@threvo8298]

I love your Shep story!😂😂and the more you know lol keep it up I love these

[@mrkthmn]

Man, I actually laughed out loud so many times during this video!!!

[@J4CK4LFUL]

I'll fight anyone who thumbs down Tom

[@terryfridenbergs9577]

Dude I'm working on a project, picked up a 2004 volvo c70 for 500 bucks , found it on let go ,had a blown motor , pulled it out a car today from Pull a Part for 150 bucks, wish me luck !!

[@BritHull]

Tom, Have you ever thought about getting a cylinder scope? The make really cool ones that can get into tight places. Just a thought, Love the videos and the new format. Oh and I totally get the baby commentary :) been there done that lol

[@UncleManuel]

That haircut! ^_^ This episode you did let out your inner comedian... ;-)

[@computiNATEor]

Don't have an AN wrench? Just wrap the ends of your open ended wrenches in duct tape/gaff tape or similar. Use the next size up if you have to.

[@rorysizemore504]

Just curious are you an aircraft mechanic when you are not wrenching on cars? You are so meticulous and keep things so clean and organized.

[@d.r.807]

I can't believe it took me this long to find your channel. The car videos got me here but your humor is keeping me around lol

[@MustangManV8]

Holy crap, the cuts were hilarious!

[@petrocksgarage]

Real men can admit it when they cry. Just sayin'... :-) Good idea on using the plastic spatulas to break the seal on the oil pan, btw

[@DoRC]

Get some kapton tape to wrap around the wrench jaws for AN fittings. It's really thin and reasonably durable.

[@darink300zx]

Looks like you got more than a hair cut, you got them all cut!

[@troyam6607]

you dont need the scrapers just use the brush on top of your head haha

[@peteypablo8546]

How much was it to get the transmission refreshed? I have a stage 4 I'd like to get refreshed. And what's the turnaround time?

[@NZDIRT]

mate these videos are top knotch

[@TWRX_Chuck]

Man do I know that car dad garage life. Thanks for being relatable Tom!

[@daredevil7442AUTOMOTIVE]

It's all the little details that matter and you cover cover them well. good video

[@802Garage]

Working on the same engine for my channel right now! I'm one step behind you though, just dropping the trans.

[@802Garage]

Excellent vid! Good info and humor. :)

[@christiankirkenes5922]

Gaff tape is your friend for non scratch wrenches

[@rautahemik]

Laughed out loud at that "the more you know" intermission :D I really like this new style of your videos! Keep up the good work man!

[@VelocityLabs]

3:30 Good tip!! I didn't know that about the pan bolts.

[@UKPak786]

Love the work you have done with this project Galant. Please join our growing Evo 123 Owners Club: facebook.com/groups/evo123oc/. Would love to have you as part of the club.

[@sarahdell4042]

Side note: Turbo Tom doesn't age.

[@mitsubishikid1187]

The 2 shorter oil pan bolts should not be mixed with the smaller ones, the longer ones will make a groove in your timing belt, if they are used in place of the shorter ones, I have seen this on a few different 4G63T motors.

[@VelocityLabs]

7:15 Jeebus that thing is clean! O_O

[@LasseHuhtala]

Sun screen. I believe you. :-)

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

LOVE your vids! . Please consider doing the AMG conversion! . It would be the nicest Gallant in the world the way you would do it. Fans should Google VR4 AMG.

[@mikeaziz2410]

Long time watcher first time commenter here lol. Your builds and knowledge are amazing. Thinking of selling my 94 chevy 1500 350 small block. To do a on the cheap build as a great way to just get my tool out of the box.

[@DJZZR3]

Tom's,until now you still keep stock engine and transmission Galant Vr-4 in your garage? or you already sold it?..oh wait!,your child in this video i think already reach 8 or 9 years old right? 😂

[@burkolicious]

Hey Tom, unless I've never seen it, we haven't ever gotten a peek into what you do when you're not working on cars! What do you do for a living?

[@westtexas501]

walk walk walk crank walk lol that's all I remember from my gsx. is there any way to prevent it ?

[@veteransautomotive439]

I miss my galant, so much I come back to watch these old videos. This vr4 was my inspiration! I’ll get another one, one day.

[@cristiandimcescu7708]

:D :D :D of course you have to transport the big box with the fig :D .D :D really enjoy your work and comedy get going *thumbsUP*

[@TravisMeeks6]

love the vids, brotha! you could have wrapped tape around your end wrench for that AN fitting. if it's too tight, get the next size up and put more tape, ya know?

[@samoksner]

These are great episodes Tom, thanks for sharing with us! Now wouldn't the IS F have been the faster way to get that box to town?!? Or is the wife driving that?

[@mikealbrailsford5438]

just noticed today there is a Figaro car like yours two blocks from my house in Hollywood Florida. I've only seen one in person and yours on KZbin.

[@plane45036]

Great video, Great edit's. Love the new style and frequent uploads! Thumbs up!

[@jonathankenna5996]

Hey man! love the videos. I have a question. What kind of torque wrench do you use and do you like it? My craftsman one is garbage!

[@turbobadger4562]

Watching this in public, everybody looking at me because I can't stop to giggle Always stoked when I see an upload of you

[@kxmoto29]

Am I the only one to notice the Kerbal Space Program music when he opened the transmission box??

[@icurt06]

I love the attention to detail during the engine and trans removal. I have been practicing your techniques and they really help when I put things back together. Oh one more thing, bromance : )

[@aserta]

Two layers of packing tape (the cheapo thin type) do just fine with a slightly bell ended wrench on those fittings. Never had a scratch.

[@vinnyvega1985]

Loving the videos man! Your work is super thorough and clean. I have so much respect for you. The mild comedy is a nice change of pace too!

[@ninjaex650]

So did your son ride in the trunk of the Fig on your way to UPS? Could see him in the reflection in the door...with his cool-guy classes on.

[@davevq]

Does your wife know you took the bathroom scale to weigh car parts? My wife gets mad when I do that.

[@StingrayOfficial]

Nana!

[@RallyLancer95]

Anyone else sick of GTRs at the Shootout? It's supposed to be about the DSMs not cars that does all the work for the driver

[@kombinator5621]

Nana is the real MVP

[@JamieBainbridge]

You can use electrical tape or masking tape or plumbers Teflon tape to prevent scratching anodized alu with tools. Put the tape on the part or the tool or both.

[@TheLiquidKnight]

If you don't have a Nana handy use a broom handle to hold one end of the bonnet (hood) up while you undo the other side. :-)

[@autotalon]

They dont recommend the AN drain with the 68? They did for the Green. Just curious.

[@Tokyodriving]

I'm sure when you asked Nana to help with the baby she didn't think it would the one in the garage, haha!

[@terrancebarrett727]

like I always say, you crack me up, and we all know it was a combination of the sun screen and meeting shep that made you cry...

[@novachannel1981]

im glad hes back but im wondering if she almost left him because of these videos? anyway im glad your back dude

[@smy0003]

Love the new series of vids. You're version of stripped back is still very polished and well thought out.

[@akmalps9999]

Your haircut reminds me of the "just fuck up my shit" haircut meme. Other than that, love the setting of the video.

[@RobertKohut]

Using a "Nana" to remove a hood, how resourceful....LOL...LOL

[@bkbombers]

Sunscreen my butt Tom, it's ok I would have probably hugged him 😂😂

[@trophytaker100]

Heck yea...this is like a new movie coming out to me..getting ready to watch and eat me some food with it,it's the best...see ya later.

[@askaryambus]

This guys is pretty cool. Keep up the good work, I enjoy and learn watching your videos!

[@xSERBUSTAx]

I love when tom makes jokes, he is so serious and proper so when he cracks a joke it makes it 10x more funny!

[@JayLang7]

Tom. As all your content, this one is great. Continue your good work, I really enjoy it!

[@TheUberdude14]

Man I have a big smile on my face every time I watch your video's, you deserve more subs :)

[@magnus4g63]

How can you not love Toms videos :) its like a warm automotive blanket hugging me :)

[@jdmeaux]

The baby was giving you advice. Didn't you understand that? JD

[@Nanan00]

You are making me want to dig my 95 Eclipse GSX out of storage and get it running again.

[@Pynoxim1]

I see that orange gasket maker lurking behind the throttle body. My nemesis!

[@CaptMatt15]

Hmmmm does Tom work at AAC TN?

[@MechRider89]

yay you remember the knock sensor!.....wonder if he read my post on the last video

[@dil6969]

Such a pretty casting on that stage 3 transmission. It could easily be a museum piece.

[@tiitsaul9036]

not really into these types of car but I really enjoy the series. thanks for sharing

[@TheJohnnyLucasFilmHouse]

I made the mistake of putting those longer oil pan bolts there and it chewed up my timing belt live and learn I guess LOL

[@seanc5481]

My wife says you sort of look like the offspring of Gary Busey. Never saw it till now.

[@d1prospect15]

Always producing great videos buddy. Keep up the good work.
