It really depends. Gatekeeping wheel specs or silly stuff like that is super dumb. Gatekeeping places to get certain parts keeps those parts affordable for people who scrounge and work to find them. I get what your saying but from my POV it allows me to afford nice stuff without the hype beast/tiktok trend premium.

Love @tommyfyeah's take on builds. He's a breath of fresh air in the car youtuber scene, I wish he would go back to uploading consistently. He keeps it real on builds and is trying to elevate the game which I respect a lot. I think he missed the mark on the gt3 "only" having 415 hp and why porsche guys like NA. GT cars are for driving enthusiasts and NA is so well revered for the throttle response. I guess that would be the only blind spot he has imo. Think he prefers speed over feel and driver engagement but we all have our preferences... Thanks for having him on, it was a great conversation.

Dude saying RS is entry level, foot in the door?!?! Absolute nuts!! Genuine RS is a much more sort after car especially here in NZ.

Tommy is a parts boy we all know it he said it himself lol

Rare mass produced authentic parts are what’s rad though

He should’ve talked about the GTi audi ttrs swap

Need the YDBT Episode to drop already 👀

Sad to see this honestly. You guys should probably vet your guests better or get better guests. Really used to like Tommy but screwing someone over for 6 figures and planning on screwing the guy who got you into KZbin in the first place is scummy. I’m good on this interview

[@cavan216]

The guy plans out some incredibly nice builds and has loads of RB/GTR knowledge, what more do you need to vet? Because there’s past drama? Guess they shouldn’t have had 1stock on here either then.

[@WrghtSle]

No one asked

[@jeffm.941]

​@@cavan216the guy doesn't even build cars. He has other people do it he pays. Hasn't really turned a wrench since the mid 2000's probably .Ha. His "knowledge" comes from research on the Internet for days on end using Google. In the real world he's like a interior decorator or a wedding planner 🤭🤣

[@cavan216]

@@jeffm.941 notice how i said “the guy plans” it’s well known he doesn’t build them, even said it in the first like 5 mins of the video. Research and being around them is how anyone gets knowledgeable on anything lol.

Bro fortune auto has a 5 year warranty on their coil overs and they are literally hand built wtf is this guy talking about

[@bigreddaman5988]

Yeah he lost me there lmao. I've road BC many times and my basic fortune autos in my daily feel better than oem haha

[@GARAGESZERO]

Hand built? Means they’re good? I’m confused by this statement

[@drudru721]

And silvers is a sister company of bc racing that has there own shock dynos.

[@Yan1nc]

He was partially right, fortune autos are hand built but with the same parts as the other cheaper ones that they modify to suit their needs if needed

[@zac2384]

@@drudru721 I hate to be that guy but I got Silver's because their top hats are gray lol. Also $100 more than BC means they're so much better right????

I realy liked the flow of the vid it wasn’t all time serious neither all the time laughter it was a very balanced conversation that was dope 👏🏽

[@josesupra]

He's right about the price. Highest priced supras were around 50k. That wasn't all of them but still a ton of money. He's a bit biased towards gtr though. The chassis isn't what's making it hook in 1st, it's awd. As for fitting tires, you can fit 285/315 on a supra and thats standard supra fitment. My personal supra hooks 2nd with over 600whp also so idk why he thinks every supra on street tires just spins. To sum it up, the supra with stock v160 is the only synchro manual trans car to ever go 7s in the 1/4. And two supras did it. Supra has a better getrag than the 34(32 and 33 had the weak 5spd) and if we wanna talk chassis the supra is better built. The gtr is for sure more race bread and track oriented, but lets not downplay the fact that it's awd system is what set it apart. Otherwise the gtr would he a gtt with a little more spice and well, at that point were comparing a supra to a heavy s chassis lol. Speaking as someone in the market for a 33 gtr also. I want one even with the oil issues lol.

[@duanebailey6253]

A supra chasis is not built better at all. It's a targa top and heavy. Supras don't handle well which is why he doesn't like it. It's not hard to cut up a car put a huge radial on it and have it hook. That's not fun to daily at all. There is more to building a car than drag racing. It's fun to be able to rip back roads go to a track or autocross.

[@adamcz3183]

​​@@duanebailey6253Tommy is a bias scammer. Also Supra destroys most 32-34GTRs on the highway. That's all that matters if you want to talk about fun. Mr. Autocross.

[@Inline6TV]

A lot of people hate on Tommy because he’s brutally honest and shit talks but this is what we need to clean up the car scene. Gotta do the other Connecticut boys. Jimmy oaks & Spoon

Maybe Devin Niemela on the next podcast or future podcast and talk about that Awd k series fk8 type r. And let me be a guest lol 😅
