What ever do you mean "boring"? This is great! Love these in-depth build documentations

[@SpeedingTube]

Ha thank you. Some people enjoy them, on the analytics only 30% of people are still watching so its not for everyone 😎👍

[@SteelMan83]

Estoy de regreso spiding, tu has sido una gran inspiración para mi, saludos 👍🖐✌

You are going to make all our T4 1.8T's feel as slow as a diesel!!! Looking nice. Look forward to you flying past me

[@SpeedingTube]

Ha, its feeling great on the 6spd, welcome to jump in sometime Paul if you're down this way!

Awesome video mate, as always 😎👍 Nick

Thanks bud :-)

Epic, I'm glued to this build keep up the good work! Wouldn't like to think what you could buy with the money that must be in this van!

[@SpeedingTube]

Probably another T4, but slightly newer haha

Brilliant. No, love the detail

Looking good, well done

[@mr.airgun6921]

I was just typing about the brake flaring tool to say get an ‘on car tool’ and you held one up saying you’d got one 😁 Anyone thinking of buying a cheap tool just get one of these instead of the other type!

[@SpeedingTube]

I love the Draper on car flare tool, for DIY jobs like mine it's perfect. Ant at Autostyl let me borrow his fancy tool and it makes things perfect but it's definitely one for a workshop space environment.

Mate, looks great!

Thanks 😎👍

[@tomsmithdeal8286]

I have been following you on this project, now some months later obviously, with great interest. Quite well done and I really appreciate your naming the products that you used as well as the firms that did such first rate parts fabrication. I did not understand the remark you made about not using copper line for the brakes but a better material. Would you mind telling me what that material is? Much thanks.

[@SpeedingTube]

Hi, thanks for the kind comments. The brake lines are "Kunifer"

[@goody390]

Just quality 🤙

[@slimjimmery]

Woo Hoo!!!

[@2012driftking]

That's crazy subscribed for sure what gave you the idea to make the van the way it is.

[@SpeedingTube]

Thanks, it all started when I took the heavy full size rock and roll bed out for a 1/4 drag event. On the way over it felt so much better, then I added some power and it escalated a bit

[@psavel274]

Nice looking build. The CAE shifters are nice as ever, just not exactly cheap. Those flare tools are shit. The clamp portion wears out and even cranking it tight as possible doesn't always work, plus the dies that go into the end of the line to make the double flare like to break and fit rather sloppy in the line. If you're going to do more lines in the future, I'd invest in a good one. MAPP gas is what you want over the standard propane torch. It will bust those bolts free alot easier if an acetylene torch isn't available the MAPP is the next best thing. You'll probably want to swap those seats for some Recaro's, Corbeau's, etc eventually. Those aluminum seats are light but super uncomfortable. The seat risers are nice, and they look pretty good in there. Clean work so far.

[@chopperhehehe]

Nice build 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁🤞✌️

[@SpeedingTube]

Thanks :-)

[@hewhoiswillbe879]

With the motor tilted like that....won't you have issues with oil and pressure

[@SpeedingTube]

Hey, the engine works fine. Just need to rotate the oil pickup to get it forward in the sump. Think of it as half a V8, ha.

They are super handy, game changer for racevan life! lol

[@ants4561]

Do you think you’ll ever go 4wd?

[@SpeedingTube]

Hi Anthony, I'll be staying FWD for a few years. Grips very well with the Wavetrac diff which has made a big difference

[@DJHAFTAH]

Surly u need a big brake kit for 500 bhp

[@SpeedingTube]

Porsche 996 fronts and bigger rears. Carbon Lorraine pads going on for track.

[@paulsoames7980]

Hi I'm building a Audi S3 8l does anyone know what power the ko4 turbo can make when it's been hybridised any information would be great cheers

[@SpeedingTube]

AET 380-04 and Chinafold manifold from Badger 5 (350-400bhp)

[@darkonnis]

Know the pain with the brakes. Particular those bloody mounts. i cut mine off in the end, was the only thing that could be done. If in doubt, get the grinder out.

[@SpeedingTube]

It did cross my mind to take the tops of the bolts off. Luckily the big breaker bar and heat did it 😂

[@thakery5720]

WD40 is nowhere near as good as Plus Gas disassembly fluid.
