Please don't stop, for the viewers at home like me that aren't to much of a rev head but still work on cars to save money, thanks man you have already helped me out so much and saved me money and researching endless stuff. Cheers boys, hats off to you legends

[@unicorn7337]

I'm a pretty handy guy. I'm an electronics engineer by trade but can put my hand to almost anything, my Dad was an HGV mechanic and college lecturer so I picked up a lot from him, and I've had a few different jobs in various areas of the engineering industry. That being said, never in all my life will I have the ingenuity and fabrication skill of Al. It actually makes me properly jealous seeing the things he comes up with! This series is absolutely awesome! 👍🏻

[@BrickNewton]

Really enjoying Turbo Yoda, lots of good info and tips

[@microbuilder]

Tuuuurbooo Yooooddaaaaaaa I just realized I sang that outloud when I was typing it...get out of my head, Moog.

[@aserta]

Tiny Moogs singing it with intercooler harps. :)

[@justincroudis4871]

ehhhhhh hes the turbo yooooddaaaaaaaa

[@dgenius6745]

Does anyone know what Instrumental is used at 4.30 in the video??

[@mikeyyy187]

hey using and electric impact gun-

[@ChipsNeeson]

D Genius - It's a fuel gun.

[@admiralsreserve]

This series has been fantastic. Turboyoda for president.

[@CriticoolHit]

You, the tall man from haltech, marty, moog. One show. Sick cars. This is what the world needs.

[@hacksdp3]

I'd like to see Tony and Lucky from HRG build something with Allen and the boys. That would be a meeting of the minds.

[@aussiefirestorm]

Cable parts from Bunnings you sir are a genius! There should be one of you in every town!!

[@wato21]

Man This bloke! Been following this bloke for a long time and can only wish the next project is a rotary. Would be the greatest 💥💥💥

[@jerrywh3]

Seriously this kills any car mod show I’ve ever seen.

[@Digimer]

Last thing good like this was when Wheeler Dealers actually showed big chunks of Edd China's work.

[@o0julek0o]

Because it's not a shitty TV show made solely for profit.

[@jerrywh3]

Digimer agreed. I like Ant, he brings something different, but Edd is just Edd.

[@Rentta]

Apart from bad obsession motorsport's mini project which is even better.

[@Digimer]

OMG yes. People like to say "I couldn't click on this fast enough"... That's me when BO puts out a video. The worst is knowing at the end of each video that the 3+ month wait starts all over again.

[@youremostwelcome]

The snag on the way in. Genius. I've been doing on the way out (wrong) all these years. Learning so much from this series.

[@lincbiggins4342]

"Got a snag on the way in cause that's how you do it" Ha love your work Al, got your priorities right.

[@aussiebloke609]

Had to play it over again...I haven't heard that in donkeys. (Been in the land of "Murica!" for the last 20 years or so.) Memories...lol.

[@aarongeronimo2622]

Was watching a Motortrend video, saw the notification and switched videos. Sorry Motortrend, Priorities..

[@1970HondaCL100]

I came here from the Joe Rogan podcast. Priorities.

[@lemonotype2]

I pulled out to watch this video.

[@o0julek0o]

Aaron Geronimo as long as it's not roadkill, this has priority over everything on motortrend.

[@aserta]

They have videos anymore? All i saw these days is their corporate papergiant's greed in 3 minute formats.

[@2450logan]

Well I closed my porn browser, because car porn priorities.

[@MrEd-fu3dq]

Al did a damn good of explaining leverage and mechanical advantage (force amplification) as it applies to cable 'pull' parking brake systems. His execution of that mod and the final results showed well for his understanding and engineering knowledge.

[@Snack592]

Only Al can work in flip flops and not look ridiculous !

[@microbuilder]

Dave Freiburger seems to pull it off somehow...then again he looks kinda homeless sometimes...

[@OVshyguy]

microbuilder ahem... sometimes?

[@scottthompson292]

Stick your flip flops up your ass... They're called thongs.

[@fucktheeuroteeleafs2500]

A weirdo paints his nails Yoda drops a 19mil spanner lol

[@WilliamT1995]

Was gonna say, surprised he still has all his toes :P

[@biro24]

The craftsmanship and ingenuity is stunning 🤩😎👏👏👏👏

[@nismojdm5950]

best car show out there for sure, I'm like a kid watching Al go to work.I hope woody knows how lucky he is to have the oppotunity to work with such a great mastermind of turbos.

[@sunsetoriginals7320]

Nice trick scraping pads on concrete floor to refresh them!

[@lewisholstegge4131]

I watched an old guy do the same this to a dirtbikes clutch plates it get him home Haha and it worked

[@thisaznboi88]

Always fun to watch these guys work.

[@TickleFingers]

MORE! MORE! MORE! I WANT MORE!!!!!!!! The Skid Factory is the one upload I don't waste time watching. As soon as I see it, it's getting watched. Bang up job.... Keep it up!

[@damonmorris5590]

Man woody looks like he has the best job just cause Al seems like the best boss ever, he is so chill and seems like he doesn't hold his position over his employee's

[@claudio68097]

Turbo Yoda using flip flops in the shop what a boss !

[@sndrd4430]

This time on episode 37 of the skid factory, we fit a battery, then think about an LED interior light globe. One day it will skid. Great show lads but dragging on a bit like the Mira now lol!

[@metaomicron72]

Always thought Alan was more of a Billy Gibbons type of guy, turns out he plays along with garage shenanigans.

[@K4rt80y]

Anyone else get intense satisfaction from watching Al fabricate a bracket?

[@smoothwalrus9354]

That was a great episode fellas, "went to Bunnings, got a snag on the way in because that's how you do it." Legends.

[@runnersp1985]

The laughing Turbo Yoda. That most rare and mythical of beasts.

[@Skater3z3b]

Love this series, turbo yoda gave me I guess the courage to just go out and build a couple years ago, and now I feel like i can build anything if i step back and have a think!

[@traisharmon9765]

Milk crate is best seat.

[@Mardy72]

...they massage your arse with all the ridges 😅

[@MrEd-fu3dq]

That's what thongs do - floss your crack.

[@seanocallaghan5402]

love this project it's nice to see the details that go through and how easy they make it look watch from Ireland

[@TehTKMGhost]

The Sneaky peg never gets old

[@mattieflaps9222]

Parents had one of these fairlanes when i was young still love em

[@harrisonbaker8481]

Perfect

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Love your work guys. You are very good mechanical engineers, as well as being Mechanics.

[@AaronBonBarron]

I love this series, because it's nearly identical to what I''m doing to my old Celica. The car is built in the same decade, same engine + boost, same diff, but I have a manual box for mine.

[@panzerveps]

I've never been so fascinated by a simple parking brake cable....

[@niccurry11]

There better be one hell of a skid at the end of this build

[@timwoods9350]

I'm loving this series!

[@knownuser09]

This ford is coming along very nice.

[@BradGryphonn]

Hanging out to see this drive.

[@tomahoks]

Woke up at midnite with three hour of '"sleep". No worries, SF is up!

[@alexcorona]

This episode shows how smart TurboYoda is. Beyond MCM standards lol

[@The_Lurker___]

Loving this series! 👌so good!

[@papadenteam]

Nice work!

[@maddinlipka2480]

I love your tech details in the ,,show´´ (more likely- How do do things propper discovery chanel)...thats what i always was waiting an looking for. Thanks for all the effort you guys are putting into all this!!

[@dylannewby402]

I always get a snag on my way in too

[@kaiseikokoro]

Keen to see the two 86s

[@danielspencer1973]

Loving this build!

[@Kenny4AG]

Hope they do more builds, great watch

[@masonkm]

Some smart fellas

[@dyallbydesign1852]

As much as i like mcm. I love watching al weave his magic

[@sj8008002]

I like the detail shown on this build VS a lot of the builds on MCM but I'm ready to see skids now

[@Drew_peaballs_128]

Skid factory is awesome! Well done guys

[@Denver544xxx]

"Clutch Clevis bracket things" I love it

[@coolkidscarclub]

Glad to see your wearing your ppe turbo Yoda. And good to see you have good house keeping habits

[@wolbi01]

love how the peg is still clipped to Yoda's shorts LOL

[@nicozimmermann8672]

Man i Love this show soooo much. you guys rock!!!!

[@ALAPINO]

When someone told Woody to peg Al, I think he misunderstood... Hahahaha!!!

[@aaronmorris5403]

Loving the safety shoes turbo yoda! 👍

[@h171l2]

very good show left me waiting for more. cheers to the turbo yoda

[@Compaq23]

I laughed so hard when He Said "schnell" all of a sudden :D It means quickly in German !

[@BrabusTKR]

this series is awesome!!

[@BosnianGypsy]

Them JDM Flipflops Tho!!

[@SlingSalsa]

omg, this has put a fire under me to do a classic project!

[@sideshow45]

SlingSalsa prove it

[@SlingSalsa]

No Budget Racing trying to find a 72 celica is tough

[@sideshow45]

I would have to agree. lol

[@jeffcon123]

Fuggin kookaburra in the background?

[@Mardy72]

Bunnings snags, kookies having a chortle in the background...cant get much more Aussie than that 👍

[@jeffcon123]

Edward Gabrielsson I say fuggin all the time.. when u don’t wanna completely offend someone

[@Darksurfr]

Thank you for answering my question before I asked it. Figured it had to be something typical because he didn't flinch and I have never heard one of them as I am not familiar with Australian birds. Cheers.

[@Mardy72]

Automobile Addict....no, thats a drop bear.

[@Mardy72]

☝ truth

[@haydensbirthday871]

Im doing the same Diff Conversion to my 68 Fairlane except im using a leaf spring diff, shortening it 6" and adding an LSD to it myself

[@paulvenn4447]

Geez couple of 86s getting some work done ahha

[@scrubturkey1337]

Good work on the music

[@Grempf159]

the song is a remix from a song that always played in the main menu of a ps2 rally game called WRC: Rally Evolved

[@montistiltskin7594]

Turbo Yoda .... look at you teasing us with 2 mad 2JZ 86's in the background .... you bad man :D Lovin' the series man!! Hope to see more! :)

[@cameronavery7786]

Lapping the pads on the concrete. LOL!

[@martinultimatevw3779]

Please continue this series guys. Always nice to see Alan wrench with soms bassline p0rn music 🤣😎

[@soulflylost3705]

Keep up the good work turbo yoda and crew! =D

[@RubenLopez-yt8ol]

Turbo Yoda is legend.

[@robywankenobi32]

You guys should definitely do a WATTS Linkage instead of a pan hard bar on the rear end, would look and work mint :)

[@tommcadam9532]

This must be the Australian equivalent of the explorer 8.8 swap.

[@alanbutler2579]

Yeah pretty much.

[@Mikeywil0003]

I wonder what diff that was that came out of the car. I would have thought it would have been an 8.8. The cover looks like a Chrysler 9.25 but that wouldnt make any sense. Might be some Borg Warner thing that I would have never seen in the states.

[@alitapia5781]

Puerto rico in the house

[@icebreakertech]

Everything is easy when you're turbo Yoda ;)

[@AzeOfSpadez]

I'm one of those guys now...i liked the video before even watching it lmao.

[@jdmindustriesaustria]

I didnt know turbo yoda knows a few words german ... thats amazing

nice safety boots on Al :D

[@greendinoscave]

The bunnings snag

[@ryanlloyd3963]

Likewise Garage 86 chillennnn

[@Paddyzombie1901]

Is it bad that I'm super stoked you worked on the Likewise car?! Any chance there a series coming on that?

[@samuelchartier3684]

That clip thing on Al's shirt had me laughing so hard, I'm gonna start doing that in our shop haha!

[@frisoockhuizen7428]

Awesome car guys far away. Which to upgrade my 60's Volvo soon, good inspiration. Greetz from the Netherlands

[@finnice]

You have a Volvo 121?

[@finnice]

122? 144? B18 engine?

[@frisoockhuizen7428]

It's a Volvo Amazon from 1960, upgraded with a b20 modified head and k camshaft. Lowered with bilstein and PU bushes. Finished with a 4-1 spaghetti exhaust manifold and full Simons exhaust. Luckely discs to stop it all

[@finnice]

Ooh that sounds very nice my brother and I are restoring an 66' Amazon 121 I love the simple well built engines 👌🏻

[@LaurenceWhiting]

Just finished EP9 and thought I might aswell refresh since its been a week and boom. EP 10 '6 mins ago'

[@8wireracing694]

Hell yeah bunnings snag off there Barbie shack...bloody bewty mate.

[@scottgrant9526]

I sure hope there's shed skids at the end of this build.

[@cide44]

Sweet!

[@user9005]

That trans cooler looks innovative. When are you publishing it?

[@jordandwyer8196]

Yoda got pegged haha

[@authenticmax6350]

Bloody big job aye.. take probably 2 more episodes before the finale ?

[@Torpedomtb]

Should have retrofit the 4 link. Would made the car hook better than the leafs wrapping under launch.. But love the show..

[@dchil15]

Well it's not a drag car. It's mainly a cruiser. Also slapper bars/caltracks will eliminate that to a degree. I'm deciding to keep leaves in the back of my Falcon Ute despite the fact that i want it to run a 11 or faster on nitrous because I also want to haul parts and a car trailer with the thing on a regular basis.

[@Frietpan]

yay more drum and bass :D

[@thomasbaiton6630]

What is the splined shaft coming out of the back of the diff for that the plasma ground clamp was on?

[@psk1w1]

Surely those rear leaf springs are having a very hard time keeping the rear axle aligned. Wasn't the 'new' axle an opportunity to give the car a tightly controlled multi-link axle? Instead of cutting off all those axle mounts....

[@FUEL8TING]

I love the fact that al works in thongs

[@Ecosse57]

garage floor pad scuffing and junk yard calipers? thought i was watching road kill for a second. how's that diff fluid?

[@palmersteven0]

i really hope the next feature is that likewise 2j brz
