[@YesThisIsJosh]

Smooth as butter. And then it exploded

[@heidirichter]

Dat ending, whoa! Can't wait to see what happened... Great work

[@scottgiebler5858]

Next time on skid factory we find the critical speed of the driveshaft

[@ShadyVectors]

Is that what you think happened? Never seen that before.

[@Sandalssss]

Yeh looks like the prop shaft exploded

[@StreetMachine18]

Driveshaft, you are the weakest link. goodbye!

[@tomahoks]

Ain't they talking about the tailshaft all the time?

[@unacammaintesta]

I had the same thought, even on this episode when they installed it and gave it turn by hand you could tell that it wasn't properly aligned/balanced.

[@kevinmkellyau]

That last two seconds was the best (next episode) teaser ever.

[@garfield1415]

Kevin Kelly I admit I'm chomping at the bit to know what happens next???

[@BadKarma714]

I like how Al looks like a mean guy but he is like soft spoken and so patient and explains everthing slow and calm I would like to see more shows with him 👍

[@S147]

Skid Factory is so good to watch, love the pacing and how they explain everything.

[@mcmtv2]

Last time a skid factory episode went up on a wednesday, my girlfriend watched it.

[@imalec]

Did she enjoy it and leave a comment???

[@SlingSalsa]

crikey

[@Sawsquatch]

How is Cheryl then?

[@XxDemon23xX]

i dont even get it

[@nicklea81]

Shes a keeper :D

[@LilReaper1010]

God dammit they already broke it

[@scottoldbean6762]

What is this, Roadkill?

[@mr.hedgehog]

Snapping U-joints just means you can stop adding boost... for now.

[@LokiMelb]

@scottoldbean Tony wasn't even near the car...

[@microbuilder]

I thought it was the dyno.

[@JPTHRICE]

aussies at their best

[@danprice390]

That detail when working with the wiring loom is spot on, great work!

[@Pwrswitchd]

That sound though. Oh my.

[@nothsim]

The last few seconds was worth a second thumbs up.

[@biro24]

I absolutely LOVE all the details shown, from the loom, to the pre start tests, details details details, more the better please 😎✌🏻👏👏👏

[@kagemyster]

My favorite episode so far, I have always been done to buy wiring. It is my Nemesis and I absolutely hate it. It is nice to see someone who knows what they're doing smoothly go through it

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Cliffhanger much?

[@Iamdesignproducts]

KABOOOOM! hahahaha

[@keithbrettell2058]

Good job guys! Sounds sweet. This series has been a lot more than the weekend engine swap that I was expecting.

[@samoksner]

I was going to work but then Turbo Yoda shows up in my notifications... Turbos first, always!

[@e.j.dallner5834]

Screw work, Skid Factory is on!

[@derekjanleen8217]

What an awesome car! I am loving this series fellas, thank you for it!

[@SIRSKITZ]

Those feels when it fires right up Brilliant work Al!

[@acwither]

Haha, I got all excited about the dyno for next episode and that damn teaser made my heart drop!

[@joshuaspooner5086]

I love watching Turbo Yoda reminds me of working on cars with my. He was the same way. We just do this this and this and pull stuff out of nowhere from old projects it’s great. I was not given the gift of vision like you guys i have to do everything 3 times lol

[@KingdomAuto]

Wow - 6 months of work. Incredible. Great job!

[@queperry]

Glad to see Turbo Yoda more and more comfortable with the camera each time....oh yea, and then it exploded

[@smithjones360]

This show deserves to be on Discovery Channel..

[@magnoooz]

Beautiful wiring job!

[@iguytheguy]

That was the manliest fist bump I've ever seen.

[@street273]

Im so happy to hear the thing run. I never thought it wouldnt but boy is it nice to hear some power again

[@markgallagher0000]

think this is my favourite show/car mechanic,no messing guys,spot on tuners,hope the sparks at the end isnt to much of a problem,nice one guys

[@gas327]

fireworks to celebrate the completed job.........

[@82leone]

Wow that boom on the dyno 😧. Can't wait for the next episode 😎👍

[@XtremeChiliPepper]

It's running and sounds sweeeeeeeet! Awesome!

[@scottferguson1932]

Groovy music, Skidders!

[@danielwoodland9576]

The end just made me cry.

[@stuartw1667]

Not questioning TY, but geez, this one is taking a long time! thumbs up!

[@PaulsGarage]

Turbo Yoda is better than Star Wars Yoda. Boost > the Force

[@SB-ep4sm]

That's debatable...

[@justinwright54]

Paul's Garage boost is the force

[@kanjyro]

Boost is the force lol

[@Averna222]

Thems fightin' words for some people lol

[@STAG162]

My young Padawan... understand you must, for cars, boost IS the Force. It surrounds us and binds us, into the back of the seat you will find yourself, and a smile on your face, massive it is, you will find. =)

[@plantpoweredhealth9383]

That's a shit ton of work so far. Have to cost a small fortune to get it all done but glad someone else is paying, its great to watch the skills at work of Yoda and Co.

[@gerrys123]

The bonnet fitting was like an all black rugby scrum. Heads in and hang on.

[@StrokersGarage]

Nice work guys, I smiled when she fired up!

[@bf2nwn2]

Nitto tape. Love it. We used to remove the cardboard centre so the tape roll was more flexible. Made for better manoeuvrability when taping up looms in tight spots. Good to see it's still around.

[@PHUSII]

Well that ended with a bang!

[@jp7102]

That sounds so nice. Can't wait to hear that big ass turbo spool up.

[@devilskullBEL]

Geez, First start up and it runs almost prefectly. Knowledge to be jealous of :o I want a shed skid!

[@lukeymadookeyholdsworth5127]

Good work yodelz must be stoked

[@CriticoolHit]

man i love this show.

[@Germaingazm]

Anyone else notice the Macbook running Windows? I guess the Haltech software doesn't run on Macs? 😅

[@bigcazza5260]

good ole bootcamp for the win

[@TheOnlyToblin]

You say that as if bootcamp is something rare.

[@Germaingazm]

Totally Legit Gaming [TLEG] exactly its not rare just turns it into an overpriced laptop running windows!

[@bigcazza5260]

i went to a school where having a mac was a requirement, 1500 students about 3 knew what bootcamp did

[@sireuchre]

Suits the whole deal - a classic Aussie Ford with a Toyota engine, after all.

[@jasfrank1986]

Thanks for sharing your guyses Technique and wisdom with us all it's nice to see work done well show quality even

[@free-me2453]

It's neat to see it running..having 90% of it done..now just to see the last 10%..it will be pretty stink..to see..cause all great things must come to an end..cheers to THE SKID FACTORY..

[@FelixDrifts]

YUUUSS TIME FOR MORE 1UZ FACTORY

[@simonwernerisaksen]

Turbo Yoda is fantastic!

[@scottryana]

Man I love the 1UZ/3UZ can't wait to see some numbers! Great job Turbo Yoda!

[@tobylikesbikes]

The picture on the wall around the 8.40 mark looks sweet

[@bigguy78246]

So much awesome in this show.

[@FloppydriveMaestro]

This car is awesome. Nice work lads.

[@_Hanover_]

Love to see the master at work.

[@paulvenn4447]

Good time flies between eps of TSF!

[@jesseswinney9643]

The end. What a tease.

[@raymancouldbe]

Wow! On as smooth as butter!

[@MrSmith1121]

This is one of the best builds I've ever watched, well done.

[@Soulvex]

you need to watch more builds.

[@MrSmith1121]

Soulware3D I do watch a lot of KZbin. Would you mind listing some as I have a broken foot at the moment and I'm running out of good videos to watch.

[@floatybisquit]

You sir are the fricking master!!!

[@markus5006]

so stoked to hear it finally running!! great work guys!!

[@justinwright54]

I was literally board as hell trying to find something to watch and them bam!!! you upload!!!!

[@ZaneBrockman]

I would love to see this style of series with mechanic stig, or tuning fork. Very well produced

[@Fridgemusa]

Can't wait to see how this turns out guys, nice job :)

[@andrewmurray6772]

That first fire up sounded awesome ! Well done Al and Woody ! :)

[@BradGryphonn]

Yoda fucking HATES being in front of the camera explaining shit. He wants to just do shit. I feel you, man. EDIT: I was 7 years old when this car was produced. EDIT 2: Wow! I am old school. You know, where you rotate the distributor to get the timing right. This Haltech stuff is trippy! The sad thing is I worked in Infotech in the 90s/2000s and had no idea this would happen. I drove a 67 Valiant back then though. I'd never seen the intricacies of a laptop based set-up until this video. Thanks guys.

[@stoneshrink]

I love getting a project car mobile under its own power. It allows me to move the car to the 'perfect' spot instead of the spot where it was too close to something but not so close that I wanted to bother with moving it over.

[@sethtuara]

Love what you guys do!! Sooo cool!!

[@daknetworldwide754]

A nice clean wire install always gives me a woody.

[@ashc5728]

Loving this series guys, I have an RA28 that I am putting a 1UZ in.. Never tackled a conversion before so this series is on point. I was planning on using a falcon diff similar to what is in this.

[@anthonyspencer3920]

Al is the maaan!!

[@PainCreator]

And there goes the block with nice fireworks.

[@XenoWitcher]

Cant wait to see it running

[@lJADU]

That ending though D: !!!!

[@RICHOCHANGO]

They better do a fucking massive burnout after this marathon effort!

[@garfield1415]

I saw sparks, just when I though that this series was about to finish (to which I was genuinely sad) I'm now concerned but want the episodes to continue too!

[@sirspikey]

If turbo Yoda could put together his own engine from scratch, what would the result be? -How would he tune every detail? You should totally make it happen!

[@brandonalonzo3047]

His name is TURBO YODA!!!! and you'd be wise not to forget it... Sike nah keep up the good work guys. Sending positive vibes from the States🇺🇸

[@jfcardinal3848]

That's a HELL OF A CLIFFHANGER. Hope you didnt hurt it too bad.

[@mickmace5850]

Great build,

[@aserta]

That was awesome guys. Such a wholesome car you've made. Tho, maybe next time tighten the bolts on the driveshaft???

[@jw18xxx]

Over halfway to a million, sweet!

[@Alfred2695]

Loving the series

[@ravenfilms5147]

Turbo Yodaaaaahhhhh!!!!! I see you have a Mac with a windows OS. I like 👍🏽

[@eatinginternet8690]

That cliffhanger!

[@LoganCrawfis]

i love seeing a lot of wiring information since im combining two harnesses for my own engine swap on a fiero

[@jacobdegram]

Yoda has fantastic legs.

[@jeremyknight8569]

Please tell me I haven't watched all these episodes just so the thing can blow up on the first day out!

[@Shadigun00]

i knew somhting would go boom on the dino

[@zorbratron]

Awesome job now i cant wait for the next ep to find out what broke

[@sharpey79]

Great series... Can't wait to see a burnout!

[@mathewpekaar3953]

Love your work al and woody.keep it up

[@glovetmol]

Farkin Bonza boys.

[@aidansharples7751]

3 minutes, 500 views. Cheers for the great series fellas.

[@Fridgemusa]

Love this series :)

[@ilifirdaushamzaah95]

Nice project bro

[@spunkmire2664]

I had a '64 thunderbird that I enjoyed working on.

[@peteanderson2533]

Rivnuts are the bomb!

[@MrDRFT6]

Thankyou that is All....

[@assko11]

that baby sounds mean! i can't wait next for the episode, curious to see what happened on the dyno(something blew up)

[@assko11]

[@ziploc53]

Wow! 6 months!
