Hey Matt, great videos. Just wanted to let you know that I used to have an AE82 Twin Cam 16 Corolla with the 4AGE, and when I used to give the engine bay a good clean, it would get a bit of water in the valley between the rocker covers. When this happened it would usually run on a couple of cylinders until the water evaporated or I mopped it up. So even if the injectors were good, having the water in with the spark plugs would make it miss and only run on a couple of cylinders. Keep up the good work..👌.

[@TheNuggetProject]

Ahhh good to know! Thanks for the info mate, sadly the water had been there for a long time and that 4th plug took a long time to get out! As you said though the day to day water will burn off with regular driving :)

[@matthewtaylor2326]

Great video mate. Can’t wait for the next one, see what progress you made.

[@mysticgreg]

Man that thing sounded like our ride-on mower when you started it at the beginning of the vid! And the MILLISECOND you said 'easy' on that third plug, I KNEW the last one would fight!! Great progress, even if the flat battery curse has followed you home from the Carnage workshop. Sounds much better now!

[@TheNuggetProject]

@mysticgreg haha thanks mate, spoiler alert i got the 4th plug out but it took 3 days and was a mission haha

[@simonbarker2567]

Yep, a great watch! It is common to find water in the valley! Looking forward to the next episode!🙂

[@TheNuggetProject]

@simonbarker2567 yeah fair enough I guess when the cars run regularly the water just burns off and it's not an issue, gotta tell ya getting number 4 spark plug out was a mission haha

[@ZyncInteractive]

2:20 Sounds like a lawn mower starting up. Gonna mow some mean grass with that

[@TheNuggetProject]

@@ZyncInteractive haha yeah it didn't sound healthy :p

[@toddyrocks]

awesome build & good fortune

[@TheNuggetProject]

Thanks mate!

[@gemini3558]

Great job Matt sounds amazing now !!! I think the super charged engine will perform well 😜👍🇦🇺

[@TheNuggetProject]

Thanks mate, should be good! Real keen to drive it :)

[@caramelcatfish]

Nice work Matty!

[@TheNuggetProject]

@@caramelcatfish thanks bro!

24:19 I sell repo’s of those 4agze top throttle body gaskets in Melbourne if you need 😊

[@TheNuggetProject]

@@driftsteve ah cheers dude :) I just made one for now, should do the trick :)

[@driftsteve]

@ nice. Most of the supercharger duct gaskets are NLA, with zero aftermarket availability so careful which flanges you decide to undo! I make the rubber IACV gaskets too when you get up to that stage of chasing vacuum leaks/idle issues

[@TheNuggetProject]

@driftsteve thanks mate, appreciate it, I'll let you know if I need any :)

[@seanalexander9531]

That last plug 😒🤷‍♂

[@TheNuggetProject]

@@seanalexander9531 I spoke too soon :p

[@wilko3sgem]

Hey. Are you ever getting the Excel back out again or are you going to buy another project? Get what I'm saying? Money spent on many projects = no racing. I do prefer the white car thou.

[@TheNuggetProject]

@wilko3sgem unfortunately mate it's not as simple as that, this year my wife was working weekends so I had to look after the kids, basically no weekends free and therefore now racing. Also in terms of budgets, racing isn't cheap, for one weekend racing I can buy enough parts to work on one of these cars for weeks and keep myself sane. So short answer yes I'll get back into racing, but we have to change some things in our life first.

[@Alex-tu9bh]

@TheNuggetProject Just have to wait for the kids to get a bit older and hopefully racing or cars will be "their" hobby ;)

[@TheNuggetProject]

@Alex-tu9bh yeah for sure dude, but honestly just a little older and they can come along or start with grand parents etc, they are just too young still. I'll get there, for now is nice to have the space to build fun projects

[@FlyGoodtime]

I'd like to help you get that subscriber cu.......count up mate! 😂
