THE SKID FACTORY - 2JZ BMW [Build Review]

A customer of Al's had some very specific ideas about what he wanted his BMW to do, with the right budget and the right people to do the job - just about anything is possible!

Respect to 76yr old Bill👊🏽

[@FurryCrew]

Grandpa got a sick car!

[@immyxx2212]

😂 that's my grandad haha

[@truthseeker8483]

BB I saw a M3 with the four tailpipes not long ago and noticed the driver was a little old lady with white hair! Hope I am that lucky at that age...

[@i976scirocco3]

I'm a E39 owner and I love the shark nose 6 series. I like Bill's car! There is nothing wrong w/ an engine swap to make the car reliable again. Build Your car the way You want it.

[@wa.gtrsoul]

What, no shed burnouts?!!! What I love about Al is his down-to earth honest knowledge sharing. And so cool of the old man to spend his kids inheritance money on such a valued gift that will be cherished for many generations.

[@williamcarberry7329]

Hey guys.. just saying loving all the content yous are pumping out.. All hail the best car show by far Mighty Car Mods and Skid factory.. killing the game

[@112boatman]

William Carberry is it a 3.5L turbo or 3L turbo

[@mickmace5850]

Queenslander love it Allan for pm lol love you're work mate

[@martinultimatevw3779]

Absolutely loving it! Thanks Skidfactory guys and MCM 👌👌

[@michaelrouw2117]

William Carberry Skid factory my favourite. Go Al and Miles. Fantastic work.👍

[@MichaelInnocenzi]

Would love to see this thing with the boost turned up against moogs 240z.

[@TheCuttz1984]

Man I love this. There is something about making something feel factory but work like race car that makes me happy. Making stuff feel factory make the building process more painful and rewarding at the same time

[@cyclonicleo]

I like how Bill thinks! This is a very smooth, slick build. I remember watching these race in the Australian Touring Car Championships back in the 80's under the JPS Racing banner and they were monsters in the Group C era. Really nice to see one in such immaculate condition - well done!

[@mc483]

Those black & gold JPS Bimmers were the prettiest racecars ever built.

[@Marksreviewsandtutorials]

cyclonicleo Yes I remember those Black JPS BMW’s at Bathurst. 😃

[@aussieausdeutschland4245]

As a teenager growing up in the 80's I too fell love with the Mighty Bayerischen Meister Wagen back then first with the JPS 635 of Jim Richards then the ultimate 1980's BMW came out to take on the world... the E30 M3 and I was amazed at the performance of a na 4 banger going up against the V8 Holden the Ford Sierra and the Nissan Skylines. They might not have won all race's but they still held their own... I ended buying 7 years ago a '93 E34 M5 Touring while I was living in Germany and found that the engineering and build quality and how well it drove was phenomenally brilliant even for car that was 18 years old at the time and had over 400,000 klm on the clock. It was THE best stock standard car I have ever bought. And when it was sold two years later prior to moving back home it remained stock because I felt I had no need to improve what was already a pearler of a car from the factory.

[@BrosefDudley]

anyone could get a nice car like this built if they had Bill's money

[@miguelpereira2443]

when the build is 6 years old and still going strong it just shows how good your work is!

[@ThePoleLine]

I really enjoy this channel. Its always amazing to see how clever you blokes are. Well done

[@christieelizabeth3752]

Always love Al’s humble knowledge. Keep it coming

[@TroyBateman]

I could watch 100 of these and never get bored

[@joewalton2726]

Beautiful work, you guys never cease to amaze me with the work you do.

[@Addouk]

I actually cannot believe I've came across this video! This exact build (635csi 1980's with a 1jz or 2jz) has been a life goal for me, THIS is the build I've been thinking of doing for a couple of years now. Amazing!

[@oily101200]

Well done Bill. Well done Al. Good idea, right people and almost anything can be achieved. Good episode, thanks.

[@no-worries-its-okay]

Very much enjoying the look back at your previous projects. This one is just amazing. Great job!

[@Czechbound]

In my top 2 favourite cars. Great to see the work done. And VERY INFORMATIVE ... good to see Turbo Yoda hosting and giving clear, concise summaries of the work completed

[@abeg1571]

A car like this is honestly way past just one-of-a-kind, and I think a lot of people agree it’s something they’d love to even just drive, if not own. Truly a beautiful car.

[@SirNari]

excellent series gents! amazing to see hundreds of hours spent on these old builds and in their final form!

[@glenn258k]

This by far is the slickest build I have ever seen by you guys, and that's saying alot! 👌

[@stephenmarton7631]

I love seeing all these past builds. It gives me ideas for my project

[@ghettoflyer]

Thanks again Al Awesome to have an inside look at another one of your builds.

[@blondiejoe]

One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Well done!

[@JoelHMcCarter]

I'm really enjoying the build reviews. Thanks for the great content!

[@waclosh]

Great build. Great story. Perfect presentation. Honestly upon his first appearance on MCM I never thought T-Yoda would make it this far. I feed on your content. Keep it up. Hats off to you sir.

[@benasboguzas4639]

what a great review! love the casual style of things there - hope you guys keep on producing.

[@ConwayT91]

i love the way Al does this series! he is completly in his element and it shows! good stuff

[@daleplett]

Awesome that Bill is in his late 70’s and modding cars! Way to keep it young!

[@gosportjamie]

A lot of BMW enthusiasts will, no doubt, go nuts about this, especially with how valuable 6s have become in a lot of markets. But this makes a lot of sense in Australia, and for Bill who clearly loves his autobahn stormer having had it for 30 years. This was clearly a very high spec 6 having a lot of toys that were very rarely, if ever, seen in a lot of markets until the end of the line Highline models like the power adjusted sports seats. I hope the family have another happy 30 years with this re-engineered wunder wagon...

[@lemmy9996]

Great work Al. The engine and engine bay look like it came straight out of the factory!! Quality work!!!

[@crosswick]

13:40 awww look at those happy buggers, nice

[@tourettesgolf]

Thanks mate.

[@jameshayward3842]

I want all the skid factory cars but this one is the best of all. Amazing.

[@teknoob5534]

Nah it looks really gay

[@ajm3343lp]

BMW lover here, this thing is freaking awesome! Hugely impressive!

[@coltonmcrae5873]

I absolutely love your work. Everyone wants big fancy shiny tubes and octopus manifolds. All of your stuff is clean, efficient, and as some of these builds have shown, they last with OEM-like reliability.

[@ActivityPhoto]

Al - totally amazed at what you guys do down under. Seems like you really take it a step beyond what is going here in the States.

[@darylnicklen3685]

Beautiful Keeping the old BMW alive with modern Tech and looking so stock credit to Bill for keeping and revitalizing a great car

[@tiernanlmorgan]

Thanks to the Williams family for letting us see this awesome car! Another fantastic build from AM Auto

[@tourettesgolf]

Thank you, Al is the genius.

[@jeepcollector91]

Not my kind of vehicle but I can appreciate a clean build and you did a fantastic job on that BMW. Keep the great videos coming.

[@MrVolksbeetle]

That is gorgeous. Fantastic work.

[@_zzpza]

I had an '86 E24 635CSiA, and don't have a problem with this. Nice car, well modded. Kudos.

[@DustyKorpse]

Excellent build, good to see old cars improved and kept running! :)

[@roocrew86]

Al, that is a masterpiece, what an unbelievable car. LOVE IT! keep up the show!

[@metronemy]

Good to see some BMs getting some attention from you guys, hope there's more to come.

[@trashflood7883]

metronemy Hehe bm's

[@GreenShogun]

Im a BMW guy and this is a dream car! Doesn't come close to my worst nightmare!!

[@TheTripleDubya]

Sweet build on a beautiful car, this and the E28 M5 are my dream vehicles.

[@josephwaradzin6304]

Thanks for sharing that! Great job!

[@chedhead3278]

Cheers for the video guys, awesome build :)

[@bencallahan1412]

Great video. Good work on the editing!

[@weshipitjamaica4354]

3 Generations nudging each other for a smile to the camera....Priceless!

[@Ren200Z_MotoringLife]

Awesome thanks for sharing, beautiful car great drivetrain update, love it

[@kwaish5823]

Superb job Al! Well done guys

[@DanFilkins]

Can't wait until break time at work to watch this video. I love the old landshark BMW looks.

[@Owuryn]

Super clean , great job!!

[@AndyQuinton]

Awesome as always. Cheers boys.

[@simonjohansson6310]

When i see a video when turbo joda is on that´s a guarantee for a likable video. Cool car btw :D greetings from Sweden!

[@richardtrow2751]

Great bit of kit !!! Fantastic car love it .

[@stymiesnerdly771]

Stunning! What a beautiful build!

[@turbooo7005]

I just noticed the Kramer picture in the background (0:45), that's awesome! Cheers from Austin, TX!

[@Johnhrop]

What a fantastic build! As you said it looks factory! I miss my 88 e34 535i if I was not a poor ass uni student at the time I would have never sold it! Great job boys!

[@Archi2g]

mad build, wicked workmanship!

[@bigmattolly4910]

Really good show guys. Content is always great to watch. Cheers

[@Afrodizyak47]

Beautiful conversion and I enjoyed the detailed explanation. Having had a 635CSi for a time when living and working in Malaysia, I can appreciate the detail and quality of this conversion. The Beemer was no slouch, but the Siemens electrics did not like Malaysia's weather very much. BMW cars were assembled in Sarawak at one time.

[@pmac2558]

Looks like the Toyota Celica GT of 1978-81. New Supra / Z4 has made this a marriage officially come true, only in reverse, Toyota body riding on BMW motor. I love it all!

[@RestoreIt]

Love it!

[@Smoked786]

Nice job. Love Skid Factory.

[@JoeJoeMoto]

What a beautifully presented, well engineered car!! Well done.

[@jonnyrocket]

great build, even back in 2012 you make dreams come true.. i would like to see this Beemer rippin' down the road...thumbs up for this vid...!!

[@dimadee]

Absolutely awesome!

[@alifadaei2217]

Beautiful car. Good work boys.

[@toddcoleman5388]

Bill the owner, is my new hero. Hats off to that guy.

[@MrDRFT6]

Thankyou guys great video. You can see al is very much growing in the skid factory Camera. Are you back from drag week?

[@tubejorrit]

Wow that car is nice! Really love this build.

[@joebrown9621]

It's a sweet.. slick machine .. Mad repec to you guys.. big up .. 😎 👍🏾

[@dillydean]

Yeah I'd be proud of that build too. Sick stuff yoda

[@vlfreak]

neat as! love these show n tell vids

[@paultaylor9939]

Nice motor I used to drive my dads 3:0 litre S I Saloon BMW back in the nineteen eighties proper car. Thanks guys outstanding

[@robertsaunders6603]

Lovely six series, good job on the conversation. All it needs is a set of chrome arches to finish it off.

[@LZAce]

Really cool build! it probably surprises a lot of people on the highways haha

[@MegaSheila12]

Wow. Awesome build.

[@jonoabroad]

I was skeptical these were going to be fillers while the guys were away in the Americas. I was wrong, they are brilliant. I love Al's succinct review of why decision were made - moving the steering for instance.

[@GTFour]

Exquisite engineering. I’d love to see a feature of this car being driven and reviewed on the road

[@chrisoh6627]

Favourite show on KZbin!

[@joshuagambrill2101]

It's testament to your engineering skills Al that a car that heavily modified can still be starting and running like a factory car 5 years after being built and driven daily

[@KyleD25354]

WOW this car is spectacular!!

[@MitchTube]

Amazing work!

[@Sharklops]

I've always loved this body style

[@pault040210]

Love these reviews!!

[@1080sucks]

As usual, nice work.

[@petersauer94]

That 5 series BMW was and still is a beautiful car to look at,used to like the black "john player special" Jim Richards used to race back in the day.🤗

[@Korokukanas]

Amazing Job!

[@tazadams7931]

Awesome build!!!!

[@shmackie]

635CSI is such a rare care especially here in Australia. It wouldn't have been my choice to do this kind of upgrade, I'd have preferred to keep it as original as possible. But you can't argue with the workmanship. What a fantastic car.

[@lsgemini7686]

That’s FKN awesome your never to old!

[@nfggarage8135]

This is such a cool build review, the fact that he bought it brand new then put a 2J and paddle shifters is insane.

[@willynebula6193]

Really nice car. Not over the top, just done right

[@fabronfretwell3257]

I have the same car, this has given me some great ideas!

[@keffmode]

I love this show so much

[@richt247]

Just goes to show the quality of workmanship thats been put into that car.. 6 years down the line and everything's still running sweet!

[@wolbi01]

Would be lovely to briefly chat to the owners of every build to get their perspective of ownership. Adds more to the content you guys are doing which is btw absolutely fantastic.

[@TheosEpicVideos]

Old mate Terry at TPE Hydraulics in Brisbane has one of these in OG condition. It’s amazing. He gave me an overview of it and how it was built for Le Mans apparently.

[@TheGreenmeeny]

Beaut workmanship, looks factory.

[@zuperb.studio]

Great episode!! Thanks Turbo Yoda. I wanna swap something now too. LOL
