Dude this is one of the best 'race car' vids on YT cos its so real - really building and developing a vehicle is HARD work, and a lot of it is unsatisfying, development always means some wrong turns. When people talk about the 90/10 rule, they arent kidding. Please keep up with the project, and show us not just the project but just how freakin hard that last 5% after the 'build' that everyone glosses over is. Also - dont rob yourself of the win at the end - when it finally works =- its SO good.

I don't really agree with your statement at about 32:15, we as viewers got something out of this. First off we got 30+ minutes of entertaining car content. Second, like you and Chase were talking about, this is what building a track care is REALLY like. I use to work at a performance shop that also did track support for an endurance team and there's almost always something that needs tuning or fixing. Its truly never ending. It's refreshing to see a build that gets slapped together and "works" flawlessly right off of the lift. Seeing the real ins and outs of a true track car build is just refreshing and nice to see. I would love to see you hold onto this car and eventually take it to Road Atlanta, but ultimately it's your choice. Thanks for the great content so far Vin.

"I'm never gonna financially recover from this." - Tiger King Sell it. Get something that isn't such a basket case and build it with the intention of being a reliable trackcar - instead of trying to repurpose a different build which compromises the design base. The other reason for selling it is that you're likely gonna be doing it solo without your buds helping you along the rest of the way. Get a different (maybe same) chassis, and start with reliable trackcar as the goal - bring all your friends along for the build and document that. It'll be fun and refreshing. This car just sounds like an endless money pit of frustration that you'll mostly be doing solo. All of that said, thanks for documenting and sharing the journey. This vid wasn't a waste at all and was great for a lessons learned for those of us that don't have the time and money to be able to make these mistakes.

I’ve had this issue and it took me a while to sort it but…. we were running E85 and it was left in the tank for a few weeks which started eating away at the tank. It was aluminium but we had anodised it inside and out to protect it. What we forgot was the baffles having a steel hinge pin that affected the anodising process. Bottom line, tiny metallic particles , small enough to get through the filters! This was killing the injectors! Swap the injectors around and see if the fault follows? Don’t give up, these issues are fixable.

I think it was Mike from stanceworks that said “some people enjoy driving and some people enjoy building very few enjoy doing both” I think that’s the real question to ask before starting down the road of a all out crazy build.

[@brandonwalker2925]

Love this build, love your fleet, and very cool for you to partner with them. I am building an e39 street/track car w/LS3 and terrified of oil starvation. Not to diminish product selection, but I am considering an IAG air oil separator which takes all the blow by and - - hopefully -- excess oil which pumps to the top of the heads, and can route it back to the oil pan. The separator has hot coolant which helps condense oil vapor for gravity oil drain to pan, and vent fuel vapor and water back to intake or atmosphere (magically change diarrhea back intake useful components). This of course with stock heads. Probably the Smeding dude already solved the notorious LS3 drainback issues for you with better heads or something so maybe not an issue.

Spark misfire can happen to any project car on any level. I had a similar problem with my holley sbf coil pack setup. My crank trigger gap closed up when it got hot. I added ten thou gap to crank trigger, and it solved my problem. Also, I rebuilt my cam sync/crank trigger harness with shielded wire. It didn't solve my problem. Checked all ecu setting, didn't solve my problem. Checked all my timing settings, and I didn't solve my problem. Bought a new crank trigger sensor to replace my new crank trigger. That's when I found my sensor made light contact with flying magnetics on my innovators' west balancer... stick it out. I'm a no body construction worker, and I figured my $hit out and learned a lot in the process. This is how you grow.

Vince your channels very quickly become one of my favourites! Please don’t ever loose the authenticity!🔥 As for the e36, I personally think you should knuckle down and get it dialled in, by whatever means! Once it’s dialled then you can make a decision on its place in your life. We all have/had them projects were it fights and fights and fights, and you loose all motivation and heart in it, but it’s just not in us car guys too give in when the going gets tough!

I think selling the car is smart for a couple reasons. 1. Sending the car to Alabama is a massive investment in something that you have to travel to use/make content with 2.

Don’t be afraid to venture out

Vin honestly it feels like you've made the decision already so sell it and buy yourself a dedicated track car. Like you said the build was for something completely different and it'll probably cost just as much to change it into a track car as it would to buy another clean slate car. I do respect that you brought us along for the process. It looks like that yellow E36 you borrowed is the way to go for you since you're already familiar with platform

[@doc3379]

I know Ken owned Hoonigan, but it always felt like he was Gymkhana, and YOU GUYS were Hoonigan.

[@theetactician]

I remember watching the build on this car and personally I think it’s one of the cleanest freaking builds around. I’m sure for you it is a mixed bag of emotions, but let’s be honest. Most of us are here because you built cool shit like this at Hoonigan. Regardless of what it was originally for, you designed this from the ground up.I definitely think you should dial it in.

[@reecewilshire7045]

My 2 cents: if I understand it correctly one of the reasons you sold the Rx7 was because you didn’t do anything to it relative to the other cars you owned. It lacked that element that your own sweat and tears went into it, correct? But this car you’ve put a lot of effort into it, but are not sure if it’s worth the struggle? So it’s completely the opposite of the Rx7, while the Ferrari sits right in the middle. Do you want more of in-the-middle builds? Cars that are just a few mods to enjoy? Totally fine if that’s just the case and if the Porsche is the main car you push yourself on the track that totally makes sense. But this car is unique to you and something we’ve all enjoyed watching, even off days. Watching you tackle a variety of builds is inspiring and something I look forward to watching, so my vote is to keep it and make it work.

Here you are again, posting extremely relatable content. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been building cars your whole life or just started, there will always be setbacks. Personally, I’ve come to a point where I’m deciding what I want for the long term and what isn’t worth the time, energy, money, stress, etc. Is the E36 something you want to keep and track forever, or is there something you’d enjoy more?

That's their content. "I have a car, i have a plan, watch me make it happen". And with your style of content, i think you'd do great!

[@Levibetz]

You may have already solved your braking issues. Although I would have kept the ABS, it could be that your wing was producing too much downforce relative to the front. But now you've upsized that splitter, and that could have solved it. It's also behind the rear axle which means that if the aero balance is off, you could be producing lift in the front via the downforce in the back. Once it runs again I'd suggest trying different wing angles with your braking tests. Unfortunately you can't move brake bias at all with this setup really, you can only trim off rear pressure with that valve. So you'll have an uneven brake bias per speed if the aero balance isn't perfectly even. The misfire is probably something stupid, check connectors and stuff. Probably something didn't get plugged in all the way under the intake, or you've got a vacuum hose to a MAP that got burned through or something.

Do all the things you want with it and by then your channel will have grown and once you’ve done all the things with it and wanna sell it you know you are selling an amazing machine for one and two you won’t look back and wonder because things were done. Great shit man keep it up!

Just take this car to the next level, Vin. I love seeing the progress on this thing and you ripping around in it! It seems to get better and better, even with the hurdles along the way. This E36 M3 is becoming legendary because of you!

Content wise, I believe you dialing this car in & making the trip to Road Atlanta is going to be a lot more fulfilling than selling it off immediately. Although, it helping fund other projects is appealing. You could always sell it later if need be.

MK60 ABS would be a huge upgrade for ya.

First off, this car is sick . It’s dope to see you and the chase bay guys test it out and work out the bugs at the track , and nice to see such a down to earth dude make some dope parts that actually work .

Easily has become my favorite automotive car culture channel on the Tubes. The editing and overall content has been top notch.

Best content this year!! Cars and problems perfection 😊❤❤❤❤

Vinny! Keep it. You’re so close plus you want to go to Road Atlanta. It needs to be dialed. If you sell it, you did everything for nothing and that’s worse. Once it’s done, sell it. 💯

Happens us all. I remember 3 corners into the second stage of a 9 stage rally braking a drive shaft and retireing 😅

It feels so freaking great to see you working with Great people and seeing all ex-hoon folks doing great and being happy on what they do. Thank you Vin for not being a sell-out and just do what you do best!

Love to see old hoonigan hands, go visit Scotto!!

[@jsonlangton8682]

No bro! So more true to life. You have access to things I will NEVER have. People need to see that and to see that even people like you that have access to so much more than the every person have tough times with figuring out stuff to. Great vid.
