Hey guys, i'm going live on facebook and youtube on that. One is that flipped for you guys, i don't know we're going live. I want to unbox an electric supercharger for you guys and i'm just as curious to what that looks like as you i don't know anything about it. Well, wait till we have a few more people um, while we're waiting.
Anyone that's here early, if you guys have any questions max, will read them out to me um, but we got a lot going on at the shop right now, a lot of cool stuff. I got to buy a car for the electric supercharger. Let me know what kind of car should i buy? It's got to be a four cylinder or a small six cylinder. That's the only way, it'll work we got.
We got people in here. What got a lot of people saying? What's up? What's up love from schaumburg? All right people show love for the e55, let's show them the 55, because it's right here, the whipple wagon, so yeah. I got to do a new intake. Look at this, though this thing is sucking in so much air that it was sucking in the hood liner.
See it's all black by the air filter. So i think this is like a 92 or 94 millimeter throttle body. Something like that. So i was gon na.
Do the factory boxes and paint them black, but i'm thinking of just doing some black um tubes with the filters in them and then hooking it up to the factory cold air intake, something really clean. I don't know we'll see. I got to do that and long tube headers, one of them's cracked. So it's like an excuse to to replace them um.
What do we got? We got. We got a good amount of people in here max uh yeah. We got some people asking about the alpena. We need some copart builds a couple.
People from both sides saying civic, civic, all right, i'm down, i wouldn't mind like an early 2000s black two-door, civic, fast and furious style, but with an electric supercharger that hopefully works with an electric charger, no, no way fake news. I don't believe it, i don't think anything's ever had an electric supercharger before a lot of people complaining about it in portrait mode on youtube. Okay, so maybe we should go too yeah. I don't know guys i've never done live before.
I thought it was supposed to be in portrait mode on on youtube max, come on we're experimenting. Next, one on youtube will be in uh. What do you call it landscape or whatever uh anyway, let's get to this guy, so this is an electric supercharger. I know nothing about it.
A friend of mine mailed it to me he was on a waiting list for like two years to get this. I think it was like 3 500. So this isn't like some cheap gimmicky. As seen on tv one, you know for 80 bucks.
This is. This is an expensive thing that actually supposedly works and creates, boosts and everything. So i don't know anything about it. He's like hey man.
I finally got this in i'm probably not going to do anything with it and you will so he shipped it to me all the way from arizona and it's here and all i know is that it runs off of 48 volts. I don't know how we're gon na you know, connect that with a car outside of just running a bunch of batteries like a low rider um. Maybe there's a capacitor system in here. I don't know, i don't know we're gon na find out. I don't even know what this looks like um. Let's see, i don't even know the brand. I know nothing. He just said last week he's like electric supercharger.
Do you want it? I'm like yes, yes, i do wow, and here it is, this is cool. Are you kidding? This is awesome. Look at that that looks like a turbo. This is sweet.
I mean a turbo and a supercharger pretty much the same thing, they're just spun by different things. Wow this is so cool. You can feel the electric motor, and here it is - that is tiny, wow. Okay, i like it um.
Let's see! Oh here we go here's the original wow. So this thing, oh, it was. Okay, i'm sorry it was 2400 euro uh torque amp. Is the kit.
Don't know, let's see guys, while i'm doing this come up with ideas for a let's just go with a four-cylinder. I i don't think i've ever really done anything with a four-cylinder on the channel and i've never owned a japanese car in my life. So maybe we do something japanese and uh and hook up this electric supercharger to it. Okay.
What is this some kind of module going on here? Look at that 48 volts, okay, so 12, volts in four: oh okay, okay, wow, two wow! Oh, that's! Not that much! Do not block holes. A lot of people are saying, that'd be cool. I like that yeah, that's true, um heavy-duty wiring is that the um sailing eclipse yeah. I was gon na, buy a talon tsi like a week ago, but it was just it's too much.
Um. All right cool, so that's about it, a geo metro, all right, okay, so here we go. We have our torque amp kit and from what he told me there's only like less than 20 of these in existence. I don't know if the company is even still around.
Oh look at this a full throttle switch like a nitrous kit. It activates that that's so cool, oh man. I hope this works, so i'm just going to go ahead and assume it's just going to work on like a very short burst interval, because they don't give you batteries or anything like that. So this is going to convert it to 48 volts.
That's just got to be very short-term. That's super man. This is going to be like really easy to to set up, though maybe we could put this anywhere, okay cool. I don't know.
What do you guys think elect? Is it going to work? Is it not going to work? I think it's going to work. I think it'll, especially on a little four cylinder look it'll create boost in a small area, and what i want to do, though, is i want to find something. That's tunable i mean preferably. I want to go japanese, but i have gm uh, hb tuners experience anything i could tune with like hp.
Tuners, i think, would be key. I want to tune this one myself like put some big injectors in it and a fuel pump. Obviously this electric supercharger and see what i can do just all right here in the garage a couple days. I have this thing installed ready to rock so stuff that we can tune on hp tuners guys. Let me know what you want to see it on um. So yeah, that's about it. Um update uh. As far as the shop goes, we're working on everything.
Everything at the same time is what we're working on so the cl65. It has a tune in it um. So the guys from modern masters, auto that were here helping me with the e55 - they brought their computer software. They deal with a tuner every single day on mercedes stuff, so they were able to get into contact with him and he was able to write a tune for this old computer.
So if you guys saw the dyno video, that was the whole issue. So it's got a tune. I haven't even driven it. It's had this tune for like four days, but we were working on this car, so i can't wait to take that out um, so hopefully that works and we'll have it in a future video.
This interior is almost done, we're just fixing up some seat belts, we dyed them and then re-dyed them. So this will be coming out. I think thursday we'll have a video on the e39 complete interior maxis smiling. What's up max hey max's, wife, again, i'm not going to say her name on on live, but that's max's, wife, everybody, um! Okay! So this thing we already uh we're doing it but e85.
By the way i want to go e85 with this long tube. Headers finish up this whole belt, wrap pulley kit and then, like that's, i think about it, then we'll just let it rip after the intake on the dyno should be. I'm hoping, like a 700 crank horsepower wagon. Something like that.
I think that's pretty good and safe. Much past that on this engine, you're gon na have issues um alpena update. Some of you guys were asking. I am working on that right now, the last couple of hours, i have been uh figuring out part numbers here for all the control units that got wet.
So there ended up being like. I think it was about nine control units in the trunk that got wet. They may not all be bad, so i'm gon na open this video, the alpena video up with opening the control units up and trying to fix as many as possible - and we know we'll know right away if it's gon na work or not because all sorts of Stuff doesn't work in the car because of these modules, so i'm gon na try to fix them and then the ones that i cannot fix. I'm gon na get used and get this i called bmw with all these part numbers nine thousand dollars worth of control units.
If you went to the dealer without installation, so you're talking probably a 14 000 bill, if you just took this car and dropped it off at bmw, that's what sam crack paid for the entire car, so i'm gon na try and fix it for less than one Thousand dollars, that's the goal here and then we'll do the back glass, 440 bucks. So about 1500 bucks for the glass and all the units would be amazing, so alpena, hopefully soon on that one uh, lightning uh! That's it's starting tomorrow! We're going to take the cab off at least that's the plan. You could do the head gaskets just kind of hunching over, but it looks like a total nightmare, so i want to take the whole cab off, so we can literally walk around the engine. Kind of replace, all sorts of while we're in theirs while we're in there um, because we'll have so much room. So the lightning is finally going to be fixed, um rolls-royce seats. Do we show them in the last one the rolls-royce seats? I don't think so. Maybe check out these seats. These seats are amazing.
I can't verify this story at all, but the guy that did these seats claims that the last rolls-royce seats he did were for the queen of england and he's local to me he's just some regular dude. So i don't know if i believe him on that one. He said he did it in like the 90s. He doesn't do a lot of rolls-royce, but anyway he did a phenomenal job on these seats and it's they're seats that you look at and you just know that they're just super comfy and they feel great.
We went with a super high quality thick leather. All the padding is new, so i'm just waiting on a couple more leather parts. We have pretty much all of it. Just i think he's making a couple grab handles for me just so everything matches, but even the little armrests oh this is so nice, like the padding is perfect.
So i cannot wait for that um and, let's see what else we got for updates. Somebody said they wanted to hear the supercharger the electric one. No, no! No, though oh i mean it's totally cold and we're live right now. So in the videos, even though people yell at me, they're, like oh you're, rubbing a cold engine because they see me start it and they see me revving it.
They don't know, there's like 10 15 minutes of idle time in between um. So i don't really want to start this up and just rev the crap out of it right now, but watch the video it's all literally. In the last video on my channel, you can hear all sorts of cool stuff, burnouts revving flybys, it's all in there. Now.
What do we got for questions? Um? We had a couple super chats on youtube. Thanks super chat, guys appreciate it. Were there questions with the super chats uh, one of the guys was recommending he said, buy a w140 500 seo or 600 um or work on the m119 engine itself would love to see you drive and work on that thanks for all uh all you do. The learning experience you've shared love from norway.
Awesome thanks. Thanks, appreciate it uh yeah, the 119 engine is really cool. They had if i could find one that had that really common problem with the the plastic tubes that would lubricate the whole top of the engine. The cams and everything that would be a good one to show because it was really expensive, fixed at the dealer, but it's it's not even that big of a deal so yeah. If i find something like that, that'd be cool, i love the 140.. You got quite a few people with the supercharger saying either civic or miata. Okay, i don't like i'm, not a miata guy, i'm not a big fan, but civic. I mean.
I know that sounds weird like i'd rather have a civic than a miata, but yeah i'd. Rather, do a civic? Definitely, let's see, what's like a super, strong civic engine from the factory? What year, what what do i buy? That's what i need to know, there's a couple options: there's a couple options, all right: uh! You got quite a few people asking about the washing machine. Oh you want to see my washing machine come on. That's what lives are for you.
Oh man, this thing is a monster, so this shop used to be a detail shop and the guy when he moved out and shut his business down he's like do you want both of these for like 400, and i'm like no, but i want them for 100 And he was fine and he wasn't gon na move these things, so this will work hold on a second check this out. This will work with the door open, so don't get your hand chopped up. Yeah yeah, it's very broken um, but we're okay with that um. This one is rusted if you've ever seen a rusted out washer machine.
He did some body work to it and tried to paint over the rust, but it works man. It works. It's a samsung, so 100 bucks for both uh. Why do i have this uh rags? Dirty clothes mostly dirty clothes, but we reuse, microfibers and all sorts of stuff.
Like that. It's honestly it's been. It's been huge, especially for a hundred bucks. Oh yeah, it's an amsoil, yeah yeah, we're missing the s.
That's uh! That's an off! It's a it's! A cheap, ripoff samsung, a lot of people are saying the k series motors for civics k series motors for civics, okay. I know a lot of people do k-swap. So that makes sense. Let's see max is reading these questions out by the way i'll try my best to read them out.
If you can't hear them from max behind the cameras, so youtube people vertical: no, not working out. Okay, no, okay! It's weird some platforms! They want vertical like on lives, so this is my first youtube live, i think so we will flip it next time. Let's see someone says: do you have a guess of what you think the entire alpena build would be cost? Yes, okay, so the cost the cost on the entire alpena build. So the car was uh fifteen thousand dollars.
I think i'm going to do the back glass in those modules for fifteen hundred dollars and then the whole scratch video was like a hundred dollars um. It needs a couple of tires, so that might be like six hundred dollars um. What else do we need on that car spend a little bit on paint like 250 on paint? I don't know, i think, if we can be like 18 000 ish all in i would be really happy with that. Somebody said what is the brand of the blue air compressor? You have. Oh, that's a really nice one! Hey! I don't know i don't remember, hang on yeah yeah, uh chicago, auto pros gave that to me, and it is one of the coolest things ever. You know i got ta like feature this in a video and leave a link. I think it's just blow. I don't know um can we put links in in lives? I don't know um i'll, throw a link and uh.
Let's see i'll, put a link in the alpena scratch video for you guys for this guy um and then i'll feature this at some other point. But yeah it's really nice. It's like a little mini electric supercharger. Here, let's walk and talk, i want to show you guys a couple new decorations um.
If you guys are e55 sedan and lightning fans. You know we have the signature series t-shirts. We just got these in they're posters, but they are like they blow posters out of the water. It's not paper like they they're self-healing.
You can almost like fold these things and they pop back out waterproof and everything um. So i'm gon na do some more of these, but ed tillrock is the artist on all this stuff, he's a local automotive artist and he's pretty well known, actually um. So we have these live on the site and we have bundles going on which are still on the computer, so max just got done putting all this together, so you guys can save some money if you bundle. This is like the 211 bundle.
Uh you get your stickers, posters, t-shirt, key tag and then the lightning we just have the poster and the t-shirt so far. So it's all live right. Now. Legitstreetcars.Com, oh and live 15 uh is a coupon code.
Just for you guys. No one else will know about it: 15 off, except on the bundles right max yeah, because the bundle's already like heavily discounted um but yeah other than that oh yeah, yeah yeah. So we got a yeah. I mean it's, it's like a it's vinyl.
I think i'm not sure it's some kind of alien technology because it doesn't uh, it doesn't get damaged by anything. So yeah, it's kind of nice better than a paper. You know poster if you were to get it wet. I mean i don't know why you would but um it's not gon na be ruined, so somebody had said uh possible porsche build in the future yeah.
Definitely definitely, i would love to do a porsche, and i can't wait to see the comments from when i say porsche instead of porsha. That's actually what i'm most excited for for the porsche build yeah i'd love a 911 turbo like uh uh like a 996. Something like that. I always thought those were really cool um.
Something newer like like rich rebuilds has that, like 2015 or whatever it is 911 turbo s. That thing is a monster. I'm not adding the l, i'm not adding the uh yeah, it's porsche. Where i come from.
I've had a couple. People say: 350z build a 350z okay. You know what let me. Let me look into that one.
That is a great idea, because i always like the styling of the 350z. You can get them in a manual they're rear-wheel drive they're. What three or 3.5 liters three fives, so i'd have to check to see if that thing can support it, i believe it says that it's, it has to be either a four cylinder or a six cylinder under three liters for it to create any like meaningful boost. So i don't know we'll see, but that would be a good one and they're cheap. They sound good yeah when you were drifting yeah, that's right! Watch chair goes yeah that they sound good right right out of the box. When they first came out. I thought they all had like aftermarket exhaust said 350z supports hp, tuners too ooh, that's good to know uh. Somebody said they want more caprice, content, yeah, dude uh the caprice.
It is like one of the only cars in the fleet that is done, like you could drive that thing chicago to california, no problem um yeah. I got a camaro diff for it i could throw in. I don't know i don't know what else to do with it other than like cosmetic stuff at this point, because i'm pretty happy with it. So i don't know i mean i guess everything needs a supercharger right.
Maybe we'll do that. Let's see somebody had said something about: did you see what happened to m539s? Yes yeah. We talked me and strutting talk all the time, so i knew about that before he's like take a guess, i guessed wrist pins and he you know it's pretty close, but yeah. It's very unfortunate what happened you know with his block and everything uh too tight of clearances.
It's it's uh, not good ironic, that that car was from chicago yeah. I was actually supposed to go inspect that car for him before he bought it and uh. I don't know what happened it was. It was like really short notice and then i had to i wasn't around.
I don't know but yeah it sucks man. I i'm hurting for him, somebody that said how's the cadillac doing awesome the escalade's good. I think we have 3 000 miles on since the supercharger and it's been perfect, absolutely perfect. We took it on a trip to.
We took it on a 2000 mile trip round trip and it was uh. It got about 19 miles per gallon. We got 20 on the way home uh, which is i i mean i would just go ahead and say: the mpg has not been affected at all by the supercharger or deleting the active fuel management. So i was pretty excited about that uh.
Somebody else had asked if you are planning to upgrade the blower on the light i'm debating. I know, what's probably going to happen like right now in my head, i'm i i want to get one of these projects like these bigger projects out really quick like i don't want it to turn into the v12, where it's like a year later, and i'm still Messing with it and a lot of times, that's because of aftermarket stuff, like i sent those heads out to get ported, it took four months to get them back so with the lightning i'm like. I i'm okay with the power it has. It's got a pulley and a tuning on it. So i was thinking about just you know, doing the head gaskets and just like a normal repair and just putting it back together. But once if i get the cab off of it, i'm going to look at it and i know i'm going to want to do the headers and then maybe at least port the blower. So maybe i'll just do that, because i need to send the heads out. So maybe, while i'm waiting for the heads i'll get those parts, i don't know we'll see, i'm sure there'll be performance while you're in there's with the lightning, probably um.
Somebody said if you had to stick with one car brand progress your life yeah, i'm just going to say i have to say gm because i mean it encompasses so much you know like i could have a cadillac daily driver, a corvette, a camaro. You know there's just so much, i would say gm for sure, yeah um somebody keeps asking if you're gon na do a collab with rob in the future. You know what i don't really know him. I don't.
I don't think i've ever talked to rob, dom sure rob if you're watching. Let's do it, i don't know what we would do we're pretty different in the youtube world or car world. I guess. Well, i mean he's, got the rotary powered yeah he's into the rotary stuff? No, the rotary power corvette.
Oh that's true! That's true! That's true! I do get a lot of comments that we have similar, like i don't know, looks or like mannerisms people are always like. Are you rob dom's, brother or cousin, and i get that a lot for rob dom? I get it for doug demiro for some reason, um and mark uh. So whenever people say that i just are you this person's cousin or brother? I just write yes, somebody said: would you consider selling the caprice? I was thinking of selling the caprice, and then i put the interior back together with like seats, real seats in the back with seat belts and a center count soul. People give me crap for saying center council, i guess i say center council, that's what i say: yeah and people think i'm saying council.
I don't know anyway the center council, that's in there um and no now i don't want to sell it. It's like. I think i could probably get like i don't know 14 grand or something for that. I'd rather just have the car like it's not worth enough for me to sell.
I get i get more enjoyment out of it. I guess than that. So, let's see somebody said how's my favorite youtuber doing today. Good, it's a great monday.
I'm ready to go. Are you going to drag race, the whipple lightning yeah i do i want to. I want to bring it to the track. My plan, which may not work out, is in may we're taking the escalade.
My wife's gon na drag race, the escalade, so i wanted to have seven seater verse, seven seater, which i guess, if i uh we'll see, i wan na try and make that happen. So maybe i'll push it till the end of may i just got ta wait on parts for that one and then actually get the to get the work done and then get it on the dyno but uh yeah. I want to see where it runs and i got a drag radial already for it. So uh, let's see someone goes it's lunchtime, where's the melonies, the lumo maddie's. You guys want to see. What's going on here for lunch, i don't eat any lunch here. This is all emergency food, don't mind this i'll, just put that over here, but yeah we got almonds. We got some ag-1.
That stuff is delicious, raisins, pistachios and tuna like, but i never eat like. I get so busy out there that i completely forget to eat. So i've basically stopped eating at work all together, so no malnourished right now, somebody said: would you do a duramax or a cummins build yeah? I i'm not super into diesel. To be honest with you like, i did the cdi and i had fun, but i'd rather get a an ls pickup truck and put a big turbo on that and just go nuts with it with an ls gas.
I'm just i don't know. I've been in a lot of diesel trucks and you know fast ones and they're cool and everything, but i just like the feeling of a higher revving gas set up way less complicated, not the diesel's complicated, but, like the parts are so expensive man, you need injectors Big and like 100, over injectors for a duramax and it's like six thousand dollars - i don't know it's an exaggeration, it's so expensive and yeah. If i did, i think it'd have to be something old school. Somebody goes e55 wagon at freedom, factory for cletus drift assessment.
That'd be cool, that'd, be cool um where you got cletus sell one of your cars, which one would it be well, i'm gon na be selling like five cars in may, so that's gon na be i'm gon na have three bmws for sale. Alpena 335i, which i hate to sell and the e39 and then the rolls-royce and the camaro which doesn't really count whatever, but yes, i'll uh. So i'm going to be selling those cars in may yeah. Somebody goes.
We need another, a new 1000 horsepower car. Are you off i'm up for it, i'm up for it um? What would be my next 1000 horsepower car? Let's see? Oh, i already that's so easy. I don't even know why. I'm thinking about this, i'm searching for a 15 passenger van that i'm going to build into a 1 000 horsepower 15 passenger church van.
You guys heard it here. First, i haven't said this at all on the channel, but during the lives, if you guys are here i'll, let loose and kind of. Let you guys in on on some of the secrets here but yeah i'm. I want a gm, so a gmc or a chevy 15 passenger van comes factory with a 6 liter and a 4 l80 trans um, and i'm going to build the engine uh either turbo or supercharge it.
One of the two we're gon na put a trans brake in it, so it'll have launch control, drag radials in the back and then i'm gon na i'm gon na do something where i put out i'll announce this at some point: um where i'm gon na need. Well, 14, more people, myself included being the driver and i'm going to set up cameras in the van for a reaction to a 1000 horsepower van launch on drag radios. So that's my next 1000 horsepower build. I got to find the van though yeah um, a lot of people are asking about working on other people's vehicles. Oh, i think this is almost something we need to say at every live yeah. I don't. I don't work on anyone else's cars uh. I i don't have any time whatsoever and uh.
Also the shop is not set. I didn't buy the shop to be like a retail. We fix cars shop. It's it's a filming, studio, slash garage, i don't have the insurance for anyone else's cars.
Nor do i have any desire to be under the gun to work on anybody else's cars or the time it's just one. I can just pick one zero time negative time to work on anyone else's cars. I'd rather buy your broken car. That's what i always tell people like sell me, your broken car, so i can have it on my own terms and time and then and yeah.
So you said, would you do next time you're in florida? Would you consider doing a carson coffee or meat yeah for sure, i'd, love to i'd love to um, and you know what i found a couple vans out near sam. So maybe we'll do one in the tampa area, but that'd be phenomenal. I want to do one here and we're going to do one here in the chicagoland area in may so look out for that announcement. Um.
Let's see who's at work right now, who's watching this who's supposed to be like who's supposed to be working. That's what i want to know max get back to work um i was like. Should i do this? Should i do these lives later in the day when people are home but, like monday lives, i think are the best, because this is we're starting the week off. There's so many plans, so much to do i want to, like you know, update all of you guys, yeah, oh and you guys on on youtube um.
If you have a facebook or instagram account, we are posting a bunch of reels, so really short, videos 30 seconds to a minute on facebook and on instagram. So it's all at legit street cars we're on tick tock as well um. But if you guys on youtube, i'm not doing the shorts on youtube because of the whole vertical thing they have to be vertical and everybody hated that um. So i'm gon na leave youtube alone, just the full length.
You know normal videos, but if you go to facebook and instagram we're doing fun, reels like a lot of them are cool clips from some of the older videos and new stuff so check it out. A lot of people are uh from overseas, so we're like yeah. It's like seven o'clock at night here, yeah! Sorry, so you got oh! No, that's good! That's good! For you! You got a bunch of guys. Somebody said they're from france, some other people said they're from england and africa.
I have. I have like viewers from all over. So, like my analytics are crazy, like before i started looking into analytics, i just assumed most people were from the us, but, and they are like 50 of my viewership is u.s, but then the other 50 is from all over the place. A lot of it's from europe, um, australia, africa, yeah uh, let's see one guy said he's from aurora from aurora. That is that's a different country. I think we seceded that from the nation i'm just kidding iceland cool cool. Where are we shipping merch to today? Finland and canada and finland yeah yeah yeah, so we we ship, like we have what like 10 countries, i think we're up to 14., if any of you guys have merch, especially from like overseas or something post up, if you're on instagram or facebook and tag me I'd love to see that i think it's so cool. Let's see somebody goes, i'm working right now at a mercedes-benz dealership.
Are you a mechanic? What are you doing? What job are you specifically doing right now? That's what i want to know because it's your goal to supercharge the world, yeah supercharging a lot of people. Yes, i want everything, supercharged or turbocharged. That's the thing i actually well. I prefer turbochargers on um automatic cars because they build up.
You know load easier and stuff like that, so i automatic cars i like turbos on stick cars. I like superchargers on that. Coincidentally, like all my supercharged, cars are automatic because everything's on manicure but yeah somebody goes i'm a former chicagoan. So my question to you is cubs or socks cubs.
Definitely i'm a north sider. Although i grew up, i probably went to more socks games than i did cubs games because they were like a dollar and cubs tickets are like 100 times more than that. So my my parents would take me to the sox games. They were cheap.
I don't think that's the case anymore. I think they've equalized and now it's all just ridiculous. I did go to the bulls game a couple days ago and we lost by like 35 points. So that was fun.
Liverpool said uh doing lsa on the caprice, yeah yeah yeah. I mean that that'd be really fun. Yeah yeah, that's right! That's right! Cannonball garage has a uh, has a supercharged caprice, just like mine, so i'll look into it. I got no problem with that i'll supercharge, the caprice.
I really like the ram air intake on there, though. Hopefully i can leave that. Probably not, let's see someone said 100 right about lose, it's the best lose is the best pizza period. I have family that, like most of my family, actually lives in sicily and when they visit the first place they want to eat is lumonades and they don't even have like deep dish in italy.
People think the deep dish is from italy. It's not they're like what is this, but they like it. It's a pie. It's considered a pie for.
Let me them. Somebody said something a cl55k. Would you be interested in possibly doing one of those they said they have one. That's got some front end damage yeah.
I'm gon na say no because it's the same it'd, be too repetitive. I would do everything i did to the e55 since it's the exact same engine and trans plus i'm not into wrecked cars. I don't do any bodywork myself, so i'd have to be filming at the body shop and someone else would be doing the work which is cool. I put that in a lot of the videos, but i like to do as much as i can. You know myself. So somebody said that they're in the military station in kuwait and they love watching your content. Well, thank you for your service. When are you coming home uh, someone goes.
Have you ever thought about doing a cannonball run one day? If so, what would you drive? I actually did think of doing the cannonball a couple years ago, when i had the cdi - and i was talking to arnie the cannonball uh record holder, who lives not too far from here we're good friends, um so yeah a couple years ago. I considered it, but i was just gon na if anything let them use the car. I don't think i would do that with with three little kids at home and stuff like that, it seems pretty dangerous and risky. I don't know if i would do it.
I mean alex like 10 years ago or 15 years ago, yes, but yeah as far as what i would do. So they have a separate diesel cannonball, which i didn't realize when i had offered i'm like hey, i got the best idea in the world guys. Let's use a diesel because it gets good mileage and they're like yeah. We already have that you know, but if i was gon na go gas uh, definitely a station wagon, probably um, like a cts-v.
You know something like i like arnie's idea where he made it. He made the audi look like a tourist, but in this case i could make a cts v station wagon. Just look like a cts to make it really look bland, but we could fit a gigantic fuel cell in the back and maybe not stop for gas as much somebody said. Do you prefer superchargers over turbos? It just depends on the platform so like if i was building straight up, building a car, and i was picking the transmission and everything i would pair a turbocharger with an automatic, because you know with the automatic you can install it up more it.
You can load it up easier, you know um and then i would and then for a stick car. I think a supercharger is good because it's rpm dependent, you know it doesn't matter the load, it's being spun by a belt. So i would. I would go with that combination in practice, though i haven't done any of that, because the cars i'm super charging have automatics in them and i'm not going to like take the automatic out for a stick in my wife's escalade somebody else if she's got any tickets.
Yet no no, but i i did i don't uh. I did, though i got a ticket recently, which i don't talk about. I haven't had a ticket in a long time. It wasn't an escalator, it was in the e55 if you guys uh the e55 thumbnail is me doing a burnout.
While i'm literally doing that burnout, i was watching the police with their lights on coming towards me from two blocks away, but i was already caught. So i'm like well, i better get a good thumbnail. You know and a good burnout for the video i'm already caught. So i kept it going so literally in that thumbnail, i'm staring at the police two blocks away. So then i rolled out of it. I got right out of the car and i was like i'm sorry and the cop he was super cool he's like you know, i got to give you a ticket, i'm like yeah. I know - and he could have got me for a lot of stuff, but he was very nice um and yeah. I'm a i'm a big uh law enforcement fan so like i'm, not the youtuber to post that, as some people would make that the title and thumbnail of the v you know i got pulled over blah blah blah, i'm like no.
This guy was awesome could have impounded the car. So thank you, police officer, somebody said: go stand by your cars, oh yeah! Sorry. What are we doing here? Peter's out there he's making noise, as you can hear right now, where he's working on the e39 uh seat belts, so we figured out a way to dye the seat belts and he's just polishing up the last couple ones. So if you guys are curious, a lot of this stuff that i show in the video, if it's a repetitive job like there's five seat belts, i'll i'll, do one seat belt where we dye it and we restore it or a couple just depending on.
What's going on and then peter can come in and do the other ones and that kind of helps me be a little bit more efficient juggling all these cars. So right now he's doing the other seat belts, um yeah. So we got a couple people that want us to ship to their country that we don't currently ship to yeah. I mean we're trying to add more countries, but a lot of them you straight up could not ship to for a while.
So maybe those have opened up lately, we'll see but check back, i mean we're. You know we check every week and try to add as many countries as possible. It's it's not hard to ship to other countries. Some of the times i just have to physically bring this stuff to the ups store and then other, and it just costs a lot of money, but at least i can offer the option you know uh somebody said: is there any lightning updates, i'm doing the head? Gaskets yeah so like right now we're going to be after this live we're going to clear everything out of the garage and then the lightning is going to replace the cl 65 on the rack, we're going to back it in and get prepared.
So then, tomorrow, when i come in i'll, be ready to film the intro and then start lifting the cab off of the frame and everything somebody goes ml update, uh, it's at fluid motor union right now, they're doing a tubular rear, bumper uh, a spare swing out And fixing the camber issue with some plates, so it'll be there for a while. It's not like a top priority for them or for me to be honest with you, i want to hit the trails this year, though so yeah, i'm keeping that thing. I love the ml any plans to add more power to the 335. No, i'm gon na be selling the 335 next month, um. It is at a very awesome spot in its life right now the car is like mechanically sorted. It's got like about probably about 400, a 420 wheel and it's a stick. It's a blast, so you could it's got every bolt on, except for hot. You know: hybrid turbos, that's the last thing! If someone wants to do that, but half the car is getting painted right now at o'hare, auto body, and then i got new wheels and tires and we're minting it out for that video.
So the 335i video will be next month start to finish, like it's going to be phenomenal, i'm not going to want to sell it after that video. It already looks so good, but i think i'm done i'm done with mods on that one. I think somebody goes have you ever lost a 10 millimeter socket. Yes, i think i currently am missing a couple of them uh.
What are your thoughts on the w212 e63 yeah? I love. I love them. I think they're great, i mean there's two completely different versions of that car, though, because the first couple of years they had the m156. So someone asked was asking about the 212 e63 um and then they went to the m157, the buy turbo 5.5.
So the early bi-turbo 55s had some issues, injectors would get stuck, rods would bend and they kind of fixed. That later on, i think in like by, like i don't know, 15ish, maybe um i would love. I would actually like to get an m156 e63 and put a whipple supercharger on it. I think that'd be like the best of all worlds.
You know you said any interest in a w124. 400E 50 000 miles needs a timing, change okay, um someone's asking about. If i have an interest in 124, it's not at the top of my list. Uh might be a surprise to some of you guys that watch my mercedes stuff, but i'm not a huge fan of older mercedes in general.
Just if i was going to buy something from like the 80s or something it would, it probably wouldn't be a mercedes. You know i'm more into american stuff. When we talk about older cars, i don't know if it's something to do with the fact that i started in 2003 at mercedes and we had like five old guys that would work on all the old cars. So i never got to work on any and they just they just really don't interest me.
I yeah i'd rather have an old american car, uh front, wheel, drive or rear-wheel drive rear wheel. I mean like what are we talking about but rear wheel in general? You know daily driver if i can, of all wheel, drive, definitely front wheel, drive, you know what else we got what else we got. Thank you guys by the way for coming on the lives. I never thought i would be doing lives, but i have so much fun and i feel like i can just answer questions and just be myself and no script and just hang out would you consider a classic european ford escort classic euro ford escort? I know the escort is huge in europe: um yeah, i guess maybe like a cool cosworth or something that we didn't get yeah. I would that'd be cool favorite brought to eat on memorial day weekend, favorite brat to eat rat stop in wisconsin, although we don't get those for memorial day. I don't know whatever my wife picks up at uh at costco as far as brought brands, but any of you guys been to the broth stop right at the illinois. Wisconsin border, phenomenal cheese, curds too it's a good combo. Someone said: have you ever used an 11 millimeter hex bit socket? Probably i don't remember why or when, but i think i've used pretty much every tool at this point.
What fun euro car would you recommend for a dad, a fun mirror? Everything is expensive. You know of any cheap good euro cars: okay, cheap good euro car for a dad um i mean you got to be a little bit more specific like budget. Do you want it to be an amg? I mean nothing's going to be cheap, like in the world of euro cars. Honestly, you know, but i mean i guess if i had to pick reliable euro cars, i really like the anything with the m112 or m113 and the 722.6 transmission.
So anything in like the late 90s 2000s. You know e320. E500. E55.
All those drive trains are awesome. Oh my god! Yes, someone asked if i would collaborate with ed, chyna and chyna and like wheeler dealers was like one of my very early. You know influences for doing all of this, like if you guys watch the legit flip series like on the e39, that's kind of what i'm going for there um is live. Like i mean i used to watch those shows and live vicariously through them and at china being the mechanic of the of the of the two yeah he's phenomenal.
I would that would be honestly like a pinnacle moment in my youtube career. You know video career is to make a video with ed chyna that'd be awesome. Had a couple people ask about uh toyota forward. I, like toyota, 4runners they're great.
I got a couple friends. Have them they're phenomenal? I mean, if you're talking about like the newer ones. I think they're way underpowered, but what a great design toyota's really gotten their money's worth out of that it's been the same body style for like 12 years. I think it's gone through three radio upgrades.
That's how old that whole chassis and body is, is that they had to keep up with the time somehow you know, but yeah they're they're great. They still have clutch fans. You can get a 20 22 4runner with a clutch van. No electric fan toyota's like we're.
You guys are buying them, so we're not gon na do a thing and uh they got a good, reliable combo that looks good and people love it. It's kind of turning into like a jeep wrangler, where they don't have to like change it much. You know somebody said what brand of ceramic coating do you use the avalon king armor shield, nine, it's in pretty much all my detail, videos, the links and coupon codes are down there, they're really affordable. It works great. I use it on my shower glass door. Somebody goes burgers or dogs. Oh that's a tough one. I mean i, i love a good like you know.
Super dog um portillo's is good, although ever since they got bought out they're a little stuff has changed over there. If i could only have like cheeseburgers or hot dogs, one or the other, i guess i'd go with the cheeseburger like if my life depended on one. Only that's that's it. You just had a retrofitting an m113k amg supercharger on an nas 500 4matic, okay.
So here's my thoughts. I know it's cool, that it's got the 4matic and that's what you're going after. I probably i don't think it's worth it. Um i'd rather just go out and buy an s55 and call it a day, because then you get everything else.
That comes with the amg package, so you can do it. No one makes like you'd have to get the harmonic balancer the fuel system, the intercoolers and all that kind of stuff, and then the engine itself isn't even as strong it's a higher compression. So there's a lot that goes into it. That would all equate to me being like just buy the amg version.
You know and and don't worry too much about the all-wheel drive. You know athens. Greece, awesome. My wife's family's greek people think i'm greek, i'm italian people.
Don't understand the camera aspect on youtube, so it's like blown up, so it makes your feet thanks for everybody's making comments about your feet. Oh really, you can like see my whole body right now on this camera yeah. Oh, that's what i mean, but like oh, like okay max, is saying something further like if i scoot back, i have normal feet: people i'm size 10 and a half i'm like five, eight, five, nine ten and a half, i'm yeah, i'm proportioned as a smaller guy. Someone said someone also asked how tall yeah yeah yeah did you buy the lp? No, i didn't buy it.
It's still sam's. There's really no reason for me to buy it because i wouldn't keep it anyway. After i'm done with it. It's not like a car.
I've dreamed about having forever so once it's fixed. The journey for me is over, so i'm just going to keep it in sam's name and let him deal with all that stuff thanks sam somebody said. Is there any update on the guy that you gave the ta away to yeah the update on the guy? I gave the ta away to is um hey. He just texts me right now we're using one of my phones for for this uh live yeah.
I keep in contact with eli all the time and we we were texting a lot this morning because he's thinking about going to wyotech, which is the tech school i went to so i was just giving him a little bit of advice telling about the classes. I took i mean it's been 20 years now, but he's a great guy and he's he's pushing along with that trans am motor. It's almost done. I mean he sent the heads out.
He had everything done and it was verified by the gm dealer that it was a reman engine that was probably done about five years ago. So i would imagine it's got like 20 000 miles on it, so the guy in the video that gave that i bought the car from was right. It's a new engine, so somebody said you have any idea what your next flip card will be um. My next flip car, no, i need to like buy cars, i'm getting prepared to sell all these cars next month. So you know, if you guys ever see anything interesting by the way half of the cars i end up buying are from you guys that email me. It's at legit three cards at gmail, any interesting cards it just it can't be something that needs nothing though i get a lot of that like hey. I have this really nice car and i'm like that is really nice, but not really nice for making videos on and for what i do so um. If you guys have anything interesting, i'm open to like basically anything, but it's got to be cool and interesting abandoned.
It's got broken, you know, you know what you know the deal, so i don't know what my next flip car is. Maybe a car you guys emailed me today, who knows uh somebody said blue or green antifreeze. I mean it's: there's no preference, there's just what the car takes. You know.
That's it. You just got ta find out what a car universal if you're going universal like the green stuff, you know i'm not gon na choose deck school or something like that. If i don't have to, what do you feel is the future of electric vehicles? I think the future of daily driven vehicles is electric. In general, i mean as far as a brand.
Obviously tesla's got quite a leap. You know ahead of everybody, but i think in the next five years, we're gon na see all the big names um with very nice electric cars they're. I don't believe they're that difficult to make um they're super basic compared to all this insanity that goes into emissions and all this kind of stuff, so i mean corvette. I just saw today they're they're, announcing a new electric corvette, so everything will be electric.
I think all of our gas and diesel stuff will be recreational. You know that's what it's gon na! That's what's gon na happen. Somebody goes take over the same crash. Wiper ask him for a discount i'd love a viper that'd be cool.
If you guys know of a broken viper, send it my way, but that one is um. I don't know what he's doing with that, but i'm i'm not gon na be able to buy that one from him he's uh. I think he's either keeping it or someone else's or he's sending it somewhere. I don't know something like that.
There's a lot of comments just coming in a lot of people, keep asking how much for the rolls. Oh the rolls-royce. Well, so i i think the rolls-royce is worth about 50 000 um when i'm done with it, something like that yeah. So i don't know.
I sell my cars for whatever the fair market value is. You know, there's really no games. So if you guys want a camaro, it's outback, yeah i'll, sell it. I bought it for 1500 bucks. You guys can just have it for 1500 bucks. I don't care, i'm not gon na do anything with it. I think it's got three grand in parts in it, though, so any plans on an audi in the future. Yeah i'd love an audi um.
I want uh. I, like the i i'd like a manual rs4 with the uh 4-2. Naturally i sprayed the v8. I think those sound cool, actually my buddy frank over at o'hare, auto body's, got a really nice blue one.
So we'll see he just bought it, but he thinks he's going to keep it forever. I don't know cake or pie both. Definitely both. Oh yeah, someone asked cake or pie.
I i like cake and pie. I would add, both max is going through both feeds. Here we got a lot uh. Somebody earlier had said: uh, favorite m5 would be the v8 or the z10 um god it's.
You know. It's tough to say the v if they were both brand new vehicles without any issues the v10 you know, but we all know how what happened there. The v10 is a huge pile of crap, so uh somebody said any future plans to go. Work with watch jr.
Go again, yeah i'd love to i honestly i'd love to go to kansas every year, so i should plan something with him now um. I want to drive the caprice out there. I think that'd be a fun road trip car and there's like a million youtubers in kansas, so it's like, i would go to hang out with watch jr, go and then end up seeing the car, wizard and hovie, and you know everybody else, elliott, elvis if you Guys haven't seen him he's, got a funny good channel, um, so yeah. I should go back to kansas like like.
Now, let's go max, that's cool yeah yeah yeah. They got bad gas out there. I'll tell you that much. What are your favorite detailing products to use?.
Hey how much would it cost for you to fix and make my 1988 grand am drivable?
In my estimation, a good test would be an Audi A4 with the 2.0 then compare it with a S4 to see how much improvement it makes.
For the Alpina, try contacting J&J Auto in Ohio. They had Hoovie's Alpina and may still have the modules you need.
Also how about a 914, x19, 924 or a Del Sole.
Good evening I live here in Georgia I need help with my SL55 AMG convertible top
