[@TheNuggetProject]

Ah that's awesome thanks for watching mate :) i'll get racing this year but unfortunately i've got some delays, i'l do a post about it soon :)

[@rohanpepper2476]

Just when I thought you were done... Jet-Ski! Those dirt bike skills not going to waste.

[@TheNuggetProject]

Haha, yeah they are a bit of fun, out on flat water they are a bit easy though, needs some waves and what not :)

[@cinlocybin]

@@TheNuggetProject nah just need me on the driver's seat :p

[@TheNuggetProject]

Bahaha ain't that the truth!

[@TheNuggetProject]

Congrats mate that's a stellar deal you must be stoked!

[@mattewing9119]

@@TheNuggetProject yeah mate so happy with it

[@wattneer3912]

I really love watching your channel... I subscribed and hit the bell.

[@TheNuggetProject]

thanks mate! appreciate it :)

[@RustyGrapes]

great video, how much towing capacity do you need to tow the excel?

[@TheNuggetProject]

Hey mate, my trailer is just over 700kg and the excel is 1000kg, add a few other bits like tools etc, my car is rated to tow 2 tonne but you also have to look at you down weight on the tow ball and how well the trailer is balanced :)

[@RustyGrapes]

@@TheNuggetProject thanks for the response, appreciate it!

[@TheNuggetProject]

No probs bud :)

[@FuddButter]

Your tool list is pretty much what i would take on any road trip in my BRZ...

[@wattneer3912]

Good video, I say your car is going great so far

[@MadLadMartyMcFly85]

Why does that sound like a b18 motor?

[@TheNuggetProject]

dunno man! i mean, it's a 4 pot, twin cam around the same capacity, although i'd hazzard a guess the honda engine would be better engineered :)

[@MadLadMartyMcFly85]

@@TheNuggetProject haha ots sounds good, my old b18 was forever needing new distributors, consistantly melting them

[@TheNuggetProject]

@@MadLadMartyMcFly85 touch wood, considering this engine was only ever designed as an economical run about, it's been flawless out on track, can just keep beating on it and it loves it!

[@MadLadMartyMcFly85]

@@TheNuggetProject man those engines are bullet proof...just pligs and alternator n ur golden ahaha

[@92billly]

Definitely forgot chairs before 🤦‍♂️😆 For people who do track days, that also want to do racing as well, I personally highly recommend a torque wrench for the wheel nuts and a little note book to write down notes about car set up, thoughts ect. Also more excel specific: map sensor, crank angle sensor and idle sensor are common must have spares 😉

[@TheNuggetProject]

Yeah for sure i usually have a torque wrench in there as well :) and i have a folder with 'race day sheets' and 'service sheets' which i update when i take the car out and work on it, good to look back on and see what i've done that has made the car better or worse. Good to know about the sensors, i'll have to pick some up at the wreckers :)

[@duddsification]

I used to have one of these in the uk it's called Hyundai accent mine was a 1.3 great little car

[@TheNuggetProject]

Yeah nice! they are called accents in the states as well, the generation after this they changed their name to the accent in Aus :) fun little car for sure!

[@rohitaadityam2825]

Hi bro like your videos, Have you put rear disk break conversation??

[@TheNuggetProject]

Thanks mate, na the cams circuit excel regulations don't allow rear brake change or conversions, so stuck with the drums! not fussed though, rear brakes aren't doing a heap anyway :)

[@benbass69]

Reckon I saw that 18mm in the toolbox...

[@TheNuggetProject]

Could be in there somewhere i need to take everything out and give it a good clean, it's a mess!

[@baseballplayer1990]

Does the nugget have a louder exhaust? Or a muffler delete?

[@TheNuggetProject]

yeah it's better than stock so i'ts a 2" with a hot dog in the middle and a free flowing muffler on the back, but i'm going to ditch the rear muffler for a straight pipe soon :)

[@cheetahgaming3642]

Track days are gonna be gone for the next probably 6 months sadly 😢 what are we supposed to do until then? 🤣🤷‍♂️

[@TheNuggetProject]

Dude! don't start me! having said that i've just signed back up to iracing, looks like the sim will get a work out :)

[@cheetahgaming3642]

The Nugget Project I can’t even afford a proper pc so I’m restricted to forza on my Logitech for now 😢 hopefully the cops get layed off work too if you know what I mean 😏
