When is the next video on the DeLorean Did you ever find batteries for the Spaceman? Is the CL65 still broken? Does the SVT Lightning have an engine? Whatever happened to the Fox Body? Mustang Should you put ketchup on a hot dog who has the best deep dish pizza? and do you say soda or pop? All of these questions and much more will be answered in this video. So if you guys have wanted an update on one of my cars, even some of my forgotten projects, this is the video for you. It's all about cars and it starts with something. Well, that's not a car at all and it's called Green Ray.
So this is a go-kart that my kids and I built. Now the deal was that I'd split the cost of the go-kart with them so they needed to earn some cash. We found a lawnmower that someone threw out in the alley because it didn't run and we got to work making sure it hit sparked. Okay, Next we're gonna check the prime to see if it's burning fuel into the carburetor.
After Figuring out that it had no fuel flow, we let some seafoam sit in the float and the tank and we got some prime and that fixed it. After getting it to run and testing it out, we detailed it and sold it for a hundred and twenty dollars. With that money and some help from Dad, we found a Go-kart frame in Kalamazoo Michigan and of course picked it up with the LSC Express van. The go-kart was sitting forever so we had to fix the brakes, the steering, the throttle cable and more and then install a brand spanking new engine.
Okay now my assistant. Well it gets out this ending for me and now my assistant will install the after my son installed the new torque converter, it was time for its first start and first drive. We gotta go Now Naturally we did make and edit a full video but that one's just for the family. Onto the cars! Buick Grand National This has been my go-to car show cruise night drive to work to go work on the DeLorean car.
I Just I use it all the time grocery stores. It's got a gigantic trunk, it fits five so I can actually kind of cruise around with the family just locally to shows and stuff like that I Love this car! It's one of my favorite projects on the channel I'm I'm probably gonna drive it today. There's nothing wrong with it, it just keeps running well and and yeah, it doesn't disappoint at all. So the GN is good.
We finished this project a few months ago and I've just been enjoying it. Something that's almost done is the McLaren. Although I still drive this, it doesn't really need much. It's got a tiny little weep from the water pump and the front brakes are getting low.
But other than that, the McLaren is good to go. I will be fixing those two items and then retuning it at Cannonball garage because the tune on this car is a little janky. The dyno graph was yeah, it wasn't the best, but it definitely sounded cool. Thank you! So unlike the Grand National which I'll probably keep forever.
Uh, the McLaren I don't think so I mean I really like the car. Don't get me wrong, but I will eventually sell this. It may actually be this year once I'm done with everything. but I want to drive it a little bit longer here at the end of the summer and then I'll and then I'll move on. So not only are you gonna get updated on all of the cars in this video, but I'm letting you know which ones I'm selling because I gotta sell a lot of cars I have way too many. No room. Oh and this is what's actually in my garage if I'm not filming an update video. Lots of stuff and yes, I made this thing go faster.
Let me actually show you guys this trick. Hang on. I swear this isn't in the instructions at all. If you guys have one of these power wheels, check this out.
See this screw right here that I've kind of taken out. This used to go all the way in and I found online that if you just take it out or just remove it slightly, you get a whole nother gear so we're in gear right here. Then you have another and another. You only add two from the factory and the speed that you've unlocked is literally double it's It's twice as fast as it comes.
you know, just right out of the box. it's pretty cool. I've also heard you can put different batteries in these, but let me know in the comments. some people say you can put like big drill batteries in here or something and make it faster I don't know, Let me know.
Next, we have an airplane that always ruins my scenes when I film at home. that's a Boeing 747 with 8 000 horsepower I Don't know. Next with my cars is the C63 AMG This is definitely one of my favorite cars in the fleet. This thing is so so cool! I've had other C63s but this two-door facelift 507 Edition or Edition 507 whatever they call it I Love it.
It's so cool and I find myself driving it all the time. My wife likes it. She actually wants this car. she like, literally wants it as her cool car and I might have to give it to her but I said only after we supercharge it.
Pay twenty seven thousand dollars for this I'm not selling it I Love it And it's getting a supercharger. It's gonna have a bajillion horsepower and then you know my wife's gonna drive it because your wife needs to have like 800 horsepower cars. Speaking of my wife, this is her 640 crank horsepower 2015 Cadillac Escalade platinum and honestly, there's not much to say about this truck, but in a really good way. It's solid.
It's been very reliable, it's got almost 100 000 miles. I Bought it at 81 000 I supercharged it at 81 000 and it's been Rock Solid ever since. It is a complete dig monster. Thank you! He had a good launch man.
Trackhawks are fast. This thing is a beast. 13-2 in the quarter mile. Anyway, no plans on getting rid of the Escalade This is our kid hauler, our family vacation trip.
my wife's daily driver. It's a lot of things and we love it. Well I Was gonna drive the C63 to the shop but it is. It's going to be a nice day, so do we take the Grand National the McLaren Which one would you guys take? Grand National or McLaren This is tough. um I Really like you but I'm driving you.

I Can't leave you guys hanging on the DeLorean I Know a lot of you guys are wondering Alex why don't you have a DeLorean video out this week? Well, the simple answer to that is the DeLorean has required an insane amount of work and my plan has been to get out one long video on its complete cosmetic restoration and that's what I'm working on. But I swear I'll put like eight ten hours into the car in one day and I'll step away and be like what did I do. It doesn't look like it did a lot, but I know I worked hard. It's like every little nut and bolt I've been cleaning I've been painting just I'm just going to town because I'm going to keep this thing forever. So instead of rushing out little bits and pieces, I'm gonna make one long. Awesome! DeLorean Restoration video. So here it is: I'm literally working on it right now. I Don't want to show you guys too much, but it kind of looks the same as it did in the last video.
but trust me. I think about 80 hours have been put into this car the way it sits right now. I'll give you the fastest teaser in the world. There we go.
Oh and Max My editor has been off work to spend time with his new beautiful baby girl and then he got Coven. So congrats to Max and his wife and get better Dude I Miss you another one you guys ask about all the time and for good reason is the true blue metallic 2002 s to VT lightning. They only made about a thousand in this color I Love this truck! Okay, the plates aren't on right now, but when you see the LSC license plates you know that vehicle is around for the Long Haul and I do have the LSC SVT license plate. so I am keeping this.
It is a very important truck for me, but like I've told you guys before, the engine's just been hung up. I was fixated on having the original engine uh rebuilt. so I just sent it to a machine shop and then I was going to build it here. One machine shop held it up for about four months, then I finally just had to go there and pick it up.
They lost so many important parts, brand new parts, hundreds and hundreds of dollars, not thousands and then some Factory parts that I had to order from. Ford It was a big big mess so now it's at another machine shop. They've had it for like another four months and after like two months they're like hey, we're missing these parts and I'm like why didn't you tell me that like I just gave them everything at once it's been a machine shop Nightmare Part of me just really wants to just go buy a complete engine and slap it in here. but That's Where It's At that's where it's at I just don't have an engine for it I I will get I'll get there eventually like it should be done this year.
Let's just say that I did have a video on the CL65 recently. I was chasing a high intake air temperature issue and now I'm chasing a whole nother issue. I've worked on this car for probably about an entire week without really anything to show you guys because the video is not done because I haven't figured out the issue. so that is what happens sometimes. I will sit here and work on cars for days and essentially have nothing to show for it because I'm not the type of channel that just you know gives you quick little you know 10 15 minute videos where we don't really get anywhere or accomplish anything I Like to have a true beginning with a plan of what we're doing, a middle body of the video and then a proper ending where we have a result or some kind of conclusion I I just don't have that on this and that's not the content I put out so I work on it all the time and when I get somewhere. trust me I will have a video out but this thing is it's once again and just beating me up. I've never been so beat down and let down by a car in my entire life but I am determined I'm not gonna ever give up on the CL65 it will be ripping it on the dyno with the bigger turbos, the ported heads, the bigger fuel system, all the stuff that I've done. we will put it to the test and get some numbers and just enjoy this car.
It is a it's a nice car still like the CL Okay you ever known someone to be treated so bad by somebody and then they continue to stick with them forever and ever and ever For some reason it's kind of like that. It's like a bad relationship. Onto a much more happy update my space van. So if you guys saw the last video, I had uh, some bad cells I took out one of the modules and yeah I ran into an issue where I needed to find these cells which are unobtanium.
you can't find them anywhere. but I found a guy on Craigslist who at first wasn't responding to me and then he finally did. So I'm in talks with this guy to get these batteries. He still has them.
well actually the cells and he's got a lot of them so they're in. California It's kind of hard to ship but I'm going to figure it out. I'm going to get these cells. We're going to get this thing back on the road.
uh Josh who had come out here in the last video is going to come back out and help me and uh yeah, the space Band will live I definitely plan on fixing this and then getting rid of it. The old CEO wants to buy this like he's adamant like I've gotten messages where he's like when does the space fan go back to its rightful owner her like he really wants this thing back I wanted to donate it to a school or a museum so I got to figure out a good happy medium here because I want to do something charitable with this van. My intentions are not to just sell it back to the CEO and make a ton of money I want to do something good with the space fan so that's what I'm going to do as soon as I get it fixed, which hopefully will be soon. This is a blast from the past.
Well I mean it's a 93 so it's definitely a blast from the past, but it's not really a blast from too far back in the past as far as my channel goes because I Got this car last year and and I finished it last year. Yeah, I think it was technically 2022. Uh, the C4 has been finished for a long long time. but ProCharger was so happy to see their really old ProCharger system still kicking on this car. This was one of the first LT1 Corvette Pro chargers. They run them by the serial number and they have the history behind it. Um, so they they were coming out Now we finally have a date in the calendar. it's in September 2023 Pro Church is going to come out with a brand new pro charger.
We're going to exchange it out. um and and then I'm going to put it on a Dyno and tune it and then that's pretty much it. I Want to surprise the old owner Marlin which I don't think he really watches the video so I'm not ruining the surprise right now. but I just want to pull up to his house and show him his baby he nicknamed it Ruby He had his Harley-Davidson painted the exact same ruby red color so seems like a really cool guy.
I Can't wait to show him the car. so C4 is still around but after that whole thing I Do plan on selling this car. It's not like a forever car so uh yeah, probably fall ish. I'll I'll be selling the C4 Corvette Next we have the Eclipse GSX I'm about probably 50 done with a video on this car.
as you can see, the turbo is off. I Ran into an issue with this car. There's a part on here that is completely broken, but I'm working on getting a new one and then we'll put this back together. So the next video on this one is going to be a bigger turbocharger, a bigger fuel system, a bass tune, and and hopefully this thing will be ripping soon.
And I was even considering maybe just getting this wrapped I might bring it over by Chicago Auto Pros I Was going to do a full paint job which I may do eventually, but right now really what's happened with this car is clear coat failure, but in a good way. Like it's just gone like it's basically just a nice base coat ready for a wrap. Uh so yeah, I'm thinking about getting a wrap. let me know what color you guys would like to see this car.
It's going to get lowered with some cool Wheels as well. but I think I should be able to have this done in 2023 as well because I'm not touching the engine or drivetrain. It's already got a nice clutch. It's got a nice exhaust.
It's got a good engine. so I think I'm going to run with basically a full bolt-on E85 car that is wrapped will spiff up the interior lowered. Wheels We should be good. Oh, and this got the LSC DSM plate.
So yeah, I'm pretty much keeping this forever. Oh, and the other DSM that was on my channel was not my car. it was not my build so that one is gone forever. So I'll be focusing all of my DSM energy on this Clsc DSM something I'm definitely not keeping forever is the Ls swapped 124 Mercedes I Actually had a trade deal going on This really nice guy in Colorado He was going to trade me a 2014 435 XI like a really nice M competition package or whatever. Uh, we were going to do it. We're gonna meet halfway and do the trade but then he found out that Colorado emissions like just now changed and he said that this would need to be fully inspected and he doesn't think it would pass emissions so you know he couldn't make the deal which was unfortunate. I really really wanted that car I Thought it was a cool trade. Um, so yeah.
I know a lot of you guys emailed me about this I've been offered uh, fifteen thousand dollars like probably 10 times and I've got about five offers at sixteen thousand dollars. So I think that's right around what the car's worth. So I could easily sell it and make room in my shop I really should just sell it. but I really want to do the trade thing where I keep on trading up.
Uh, that was kind of the theme behind the last video on this car. so I really want to do that. So if you guys do have any kind of cool, interesting trade, uh, that's you know. worth, you know about sixteen thousand? Send me an email.
Legit. Three cars gmail.com couple of cars that I definitely am selling with the space fan are the clay molds and here is my: Turbo Trans Am I've had it for 20 years, never selling it. Uh, it's in every one of my update videos saying the same thing. 1000 horsepower nine second street car with air conditioning I bought it when I was 18 years old it had I think about 12 000 miles.
This was my motivation after I graduated high school to do well in tech school. So I graduated high school two weeks later I was in Laramie Wyoming at WyoTech for tech school I signed up for a 12-month program and I knew that if I did well at the end of the 12 months, I would get a good job and live my dream. So I did that I got like straight A's at WyoTech they literally called me the over achiever that was my nickname I was a huge dork but I did well Mercedes hired me three months before I even graduated and the rest is kind of history and the whole time I was at that school because I didn't I didn't do that well in high school. Okay, I just didn't concentrate that much.
but the whole time I was at WyoTech I was just dreaming of buying this. I'm like if I graduate with Straight A's which I never never gotten before and I get a decent job which I did Mercedes-Benz of Chicago hired me I'm buying a Trans Am WS6 my dream car and I did it and because of that I'm never selling the car I Love it outside. I have a bunch of cars as well and we have a few here as well. So we'll start off with the 1999 SVT Cobra Back in the day, this was the fastest Cobra in the entire country.
It only has 17 000 miles, it's supercharged, it's super built up and super broken, and it is on my trailer right now. and that does not mean it's going anywhere. In fact, it's quite the opposite. So I actually didn't own the Cobra up until a few months ago.
The owner of the car let me know that he wanted to sell it. he had another baby he just didn't have the funds to put into this car. He had other priorities which makes sense. So he gave me first dibs which was really nice because I do think it's a super cool car when I'm done with it I do have to give him first dibs back so it'll be like a little circle of high performance. but for now I own the Cobra I do have a new engine Ford I have new wheels for it I'm going to send the supercharger out to either get rebuilt or replaced. It's a 17 000 mile car so I'm gonna do a full paint correction the whole legit street cars detail restoration and we're gonna bring it back to its Heyday This thing had like 750 wheel horsepower back in the day and I can't wait to get it back on the road. So the reason I haven't touched the Cobra yet is because I want to do the lightning first I've had that car much longer and if I'm gonna pick which SVT is gonna run first, it's it's got to be my lightning. It'd just be rude of me not to.
So I will get to this. I Also can't have two lifts down at the same time. Uh so I will do like I think like a Ford month where for like one month I just bury myself in the shop and we knock out all the Fords I mean the two blown up engine svts. uh and just and just you know get them running again.
So anyway the SVT is mine. it's sticking around and I can't wait for it to drive again. I Want to feel some Cobra power now in the meantime I can feel the power of my twin turbo 5.0 coyote Mustang This is my wife's 2011. California Special it's got almost 600 wheel.
Very very nice car. We did the big Brembo brakes different wheels on it so it's my wife's Mustang but my wife doesn't really drive it I never drive it and the thing just kind of sits around which is a shame. Someone should be enjoying this mustang. So I do think I'm gonna sell this twin turbo Mustang I have someone that wants to do a trade with me.
so I don't know if I'll do that but I think I kind of just rather sell it and just make room. Yeah, it's a very tame. It's not that loud, it's just it's just nice. It's got that classic coyote sound.
It's a twin turbo car so obviously the exhaust is done up front, but then it's got a full bassani exhaust at the I think that's what this is. This one might be a little bit of a shocker to you all but my daily driver. CTS-V Wagon Guys I think I'm gonna sell it before the winner. So I bought this 2011 CTS-V from Tyler Hoover of Hoovie's garage.
Uh, drove it back from Kansas It's been phenomenal mechanically. it needs absolutely nothing, which is honestly quite weird for a car that I bought. but I've changed the oil on this thing. the differential fluid, That's it.
It needs nothing I put like 4 000 miles on it and it's perfect. Cold start on the V wagon. Yeah! I Love how this thing sounds. long tube headers but it has Factory Mufflers so it's just got this awesome gurgle to it. It's not too loud on the highway or anything like that. it kind of idles down and it's fine. But if it's mean guys, this is a cool, cool car. But I cannot bring myself to drive this in the winter after lifting it up at Wizard's garage and then getting it back at my shop and really taking a good look at it underneath.
It's too nice. It was some kind of Southern car I think before but there's no rust on anything and Chicago will destroy it and this has been my daily driver. I Need a good, reliable daily driver and this has been it. but if I can't drive this all year round, plus it's rear-wheel drive so it's not the best in the snow unfortunately I just don't have much of a use for it.
It's a really cool car, don't get me wrong, but I already have a really fast Wagon in my E55 the Whipple supercharged E55 So as much as I'd like to keep this I just don't have unlimited room. it's gonna sit around a lot if it's not my real daily. and I just don't want to destroy. enjoy it.
So I do think I'm gonna sell this even with the rebuilt title. These wagons are selling in like the low 40s something like that and with clean titles. they're in the 50s and then if you have a manual they're in like the 60s and 70s. It's insane.
Um, so I want to clean this one up a little bit. It's got a little crack in the front bumper so I want to fix up a few things and I'm still going to continue to drive it here for a little while. but I will eventually be listing the CTS-V wagon. unfortunately.
and then one other thing that I just can't get over is I Like the Pano roof that was available on these, this one doesn't have it. It's a slick top and some people really like that. and especially Enthusiast guys. but you know if I'm being honest with you guys I I Like having some sort of glass roof opening and that's always kind of bothered me with this car that it doesn't have that.
So just remember, just just buy what you want, don't worry about what anyone says and be happy. and in this case, you know that combined with how nice it is underneath and not being the best vehicle in the snow, it's just. it just equates to me parting ways with the Ctsb. But I will get another LSA supercharged car or LS S9 supercharged car at some point.
Phenomenal engine The Caprice is definitely a fan favorite and an Alex favorite as well. I've had this thing for about three years now. It was a Florida police car with 82 000 miles, but it had idled for the equivalent of like 18 months or something like that crazy amount of idle hours. I dropped the entire engine, ripped it all apart, deleted the displacement, on demand or active fuel management I stuck the biggest cam I could find in this guy.
long tube headers, torque converter, a different intake, put it on the dyno it put like 460 down. Sounds absolutely amazing haha Oh it's so good I never thought I'd own this car for this long but I I love it I just can't I think myself to sell it I don't drive it all that much but when I do I have a good time, something else I'm keeping of course is my other 2012 Chevy but this one is my Express 3500 the LSC Express it's supercharged it does Wicked burnouts it tows DeLorean carries Parts picks up go-karts for my kids I Just love this van I Use it a lot and it sounds pretty good too. Oh wait a minute, did it fix itself? Hang on a second. So the cutout's broken on this. that something fell out of the bottom and the shaft broke, but every once in a while the flap will partially close. That's where we're at right now, so we gotta warranty that out. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but anyway, that's my 15 passenger van. the smell of E85 in the morning.
It's a wonderful thing. 550 wheel horsepower on this van. It's my hauler. I've taken it on family road trips I I Love my van and yes, I'll probably get it painted I put up a pole not too long ago and you guys said yes, paint it so I got to figure something out there I don't know if I'm just gonna paint the thing white uh and just you know, keep going with this look or I don't know if I wanted to do something crazy I was I Was thinking of maybe lowering the van a little bit and then doing some kind of fun paint job I like going with these wheels right here I don't know I'm I'm torn on whether to just keep it looking like a contractor van or just make it look cool.
Let me know in the comments I Have to do something with the paint because I don't want corrosion to start setting in so it's going to have to be painted. So do I make it look like a really nice white van or should I do like flames and lower it or something? I don't know yet. Okay I Can't believe I Forgot about the Ml55 just sitting out here I Broke this last year during a father and son off-roading trip. I Ripped on it for like five hours straight and the transfer case exploded.
So this thing has literally been sitting here ever since that day, which is coming up to a one year anniversary. Our next off-road trip is in about three weeks and I plan on this being there. So I have to get a transfer case, put it in and then go over everything because it's been sitting here for a year so the Ml55 definitely gets used and abused. That is its purpose in life.
It cost me 3 800 bucks. Me and my guys at Fluid Motor Union did a bunch of work. It is lifted 35s. They did a custom bumper for me in the front and in the rear.
I get to take it off-roading and do stuff like this and not care about it at all. and I don't clean it. It just yeah. it's just a very purpose-built off-road This door handle doesn't work.
It's a purpose-built off-road vehicle and I love it. No real plans on getting rid of this, but if I do I would just get another off-road vehicle because I absolutely love going off-roading so there'll be a video on this soon on the whole transfer case thing and hopefully it doesn't break again. But this time I am using my mission trailer and I'm going to trailer to the off-road part. so I don't have to call AAA again I Had to get this towed like 200 miles back home. But AAA I mean it paid for itself in that toe, that's for sure. All right, we're back in the GN I've just driven about 40 miles away to see another 80s classic, The Fox Body Mustang She's alive kind of. Oh man, this is a cool scene right here. Imagine it's 1986.
You'd get a red light in your Buick Grand National with that First thing you probably ask is if it's 1986, why what? What's up with your car looks like it's 30 something years old Eli What up? How you feeling Good man? Nice shirt. good thank you. Good to see the Fox dude. what's going on? Well it's broken again, isn't it? It's Rogan again.
but I mean it wouldn't be a Fox body if it wasn't broken all the time. That's right, that's right, all right. So Eli was supposed to drive this to the shop for the first time really since back in the day since it was on the channel so he was on the way and what happened? Well I don't know for sure but I the two previous times this has happened like I've stepped on the clutch I just hear a snap. it's probably the clutch cable and this is weird because it's like it's this one's a BBK clutch cable so it's supposed to be like a lot more, a lot stronger.
So if you guys are wondering after I did four videos on the Fox Body on my channel uh Eli took over. it's his car. This was always the plan that I would get it running. Uh, we got it driving.
We kind of started a little bit on the detailing and stuff like that and then you know his goal is to be a mechanic. He wanted to kind of learn on his own. So I went back to Eli and just give us a few of the things that you've done to this mustang and some of the things you've learned from the Mustang Well I mean I put some headers on and I uh I learned how to Dent them so they fit. um I did that I resealed the upper and lower intake, new injectors.
they were kind of shot. One of the things I kind of learned is you got to be patient with a car that sits for this long and it it really does. I mean Alex told me this it it shows you. It'll show you everything that's wrong with it over time.
and it wasn't just like a ride off in the sunset. you know, had to take out the transmission, have that rebuild and need a new sink. Rose Cool! So you get to learn about the clutch and stuff like that? Yeah yeah, Can we see these headers? Yeah dude. So my first car was a 1988 Trans Am GTA but when I went to go look at it I actually went there to go look at an 85 Mustang with T-top So there's a red one just like this.
When I got there, the guys like I sold that. but I have this. GTA So I originally was going to be a high school kid with a red Fox body Mustang which is you know what you are. Well, not anymore, not anymore, no more high school. But yeah, that's right. All right, cool man. So you got the new radiator. Sweet Yeah yeah, the other one was clogged and it was starting to overheat.
So and BBK intake cold air right in the fender. Yep. fender wall intake. Very nice.
There's an AC line right here I'm pretty sure. Oh yeah. I can see that? Yep, Yep. see that right? Yeah, yeah, you can't really see it.
but like one of the header I think this one below. it's kind of like it's It's really close to the motor mount and the K-member in general. So I had to Dent that to make that fit too. That side was it was super easy.
It's so crazy that these headers are made for a fox body. Mustang yet they don't fit Really? Fox Body Guys let me know. Are there different year headers that fit or something like that? I mean they work so it's good. but anyway.
uh. headers, Cold Air intake, New injectors as soon as you fix that clutch cable, it should be back on the road. It was driving pretty good before that. Oh yeah, I mean it's It's running a little rich though.
it needs a tune. but yeah, other than that, it should be fine. Sure, just a little well. not doing it's, doing it a little bit.
but that's okay. that makes up for it. Yeah, you put bigger injectors in. Yeah, okay, yeah.
I think there's Ford Performance 24 Pounders Okay, yeah, you've seen a little bit of a tune. That's all. Yeah, wow, that's awesome dude. I Wish we could drive it.
Give it some more five. Ohms so good. All right. Cool, Yeah, well.
thanks. Eli I Appreciate you showing us the Fox again of course and hopefully we will see you soon driving this thing. Yeah! I gotta come by I Just got to one of my favorite places of all time. Fluid Motor Union I'm at Fluid because this is where my E55 AMG wagon is.
so this is the Whipple Supercharged wagon. Sounds amazing. This thing is super fast now. but I was having an issue where the air filter system.
the air intake was just too restrictive for the Supercharger So if you guys saw the last Dino video, you know we were having issues with that. And so of course the guys at Fluid Motor Union are hand crafting a new piece. So this is eventually going to sit right there on the throttle body and replace the silicone right there. and then we're going to be running much larger air filters.
This is kind of a temporary setup because OJ and I drove this to Indianapolis not too long ago and we just needed something on the car. But they are working on this and their fabrication department is amazing. This is going to be a custom piece Uh, that they might eventually get 3D printed and then at that point anyone out there that has a Whipple supercharged M113k in a 211 chassis uh could buy one. So anyway, that's why it's here. and then after this, we are going to re-dyno tune the car so we don't have any intake issues. Uh, and and that's about it. The E55 is essentially done. Outside of this.
it's been done for a while. I Put a lot of miles on this car. Uh, it's my mom's favorite car out of my entire collection. Funny story.
My mom actually drove this car and saw this car before I ever did. so I bought it out of New Orleans but I was going to Florida like a month later and my mom was in Florida and she was gonna rent a car and I'm like Mom let me just ship you the E55 in Florida you can just hang on to it. it'll be your rental. It'll be cheaper for me to ship than for you to rent a car for like a week or two and that's it.
So she drove this around. she fell in love with it and the rest is history. So that's where the E55 is. Uh, don't ever really plan on selling this car? No way.
My boots I have been missing my boots for months and they're right here in my wagon. Are you kidding me? I went out and bought new ones. Oh and what's this? Whoa! they didn't tell me about these? Are these my air filters dude? Okay, I know the guy said that they were gonna surprise me eventually with like the completed setup. but I think I might have blown part of the surprise.
that's awesome and I got boots? Oh and then there's my future. Rolls Royce Just kidding. we are at the Hamilton Collection it's right next to Fluid. kind of cool.
Fluid's always got the coolest car. look at this. Added another lift in here. Second generation Trans Am lifted Wrangler Ferrari old Buick NSX S63 and the one and only O.J Lopez What's up Alex Good, How are you? What do you got going on over here? Well, we're just finishing up a pretty neat exhaust that we designed for the NSX Um, a lot of those cars.
The second Gen have an issue with setting check engine lights when you do performance upgrades to them. Um, and there isn't a whole lot to actually do to those cars. but uh, we've kind of found a way to keep that check engine light from setting. and um, it also makes the car sound really cool.
So oh man, this is awesome. Oh, real magic is the uh. the downpipes. Dude, you guys built this entire thing.
Is there anything left from from the NSX Pretty much. uh, we're just doing the whole exhaust. This is quite different than the factory exhaust and quite different than the aftermarket. This guy had a whole, um, aftermarket exhaust system installed in the vehicle and he was having all sorts of emissions issues.
Um, you think kind of sounded like a truck too. It didn't sound exotic at all. This is the second one we've done. We kind of came up with the creative solution and maybe, uh, your viewers can kind of figure it out from the from the video.
they slow it down and try to see how what we did I See it? I see it comment down below. but it's it's all legit. Now it is. Yeah, it passes emissions right? and uh, it sounds absolutely nuts. Can we start it? I Think we could I think we could. So weird how these things start up. Oh, quiet Mode Factory mode. Now these cars have the um.
half hybrid. So I gotta Oh right, let's switch it to Sport to keep it running. Yeah yeah and you have the remote there for the exhaust right? Yeah, it's just basically it's the same one. like out of my van, more or less.
it's basically a Chevy Express 3500 is what we have here. All right Race Mode Dude that legit sounds like a race car but it doesn't like destroy your ears if you that is beautiful. I Heard this thing before with an aftermarket exhaust system that he spent a good deal of money on and now with all these systems cost a lot of money. but um it sounded like a truck.
it had no like high-pitched tone to it at all. and I don't know if you see those the megaphones that we used yeah that really brings out the like top end of this car. uh cleans it up a whole bunch while allowing you to like. Like I said, these cars are very finicky if you move anything in the exhaust you're dealing with not just a check engine light, but as you might know from dealing with uh Japanese cars, they don't just put on the check engine light, they put on every every other light like eight you know.
ABS traction. It's insane. This was driving the guy nuts I couldn't get it to pass emissions and I just ran it through past emissions and uh, car is great. So OJ we got to uh figure something out with this exhaust.
This is just. this will just give you an idea of what I'm working with the a little bouncy there, a little little janky. they just kind of tack welded some straps I think they got from Home Depot on here. Yeah.
I like the ankle strap. Yeah, it's not the best. It definitely needs the fluid motor Union treatment. So I think the next video we're doing possibly on this guy.
You know we couldn't just do something that has been done before. You know we gotta. Yeah, we got to make this thing sound like the best version of this car. I Know these things get all crazy with turbos but I think we can I think we need to do something pretty neat with it? Okay, so you heard it.
We're gonna do something special for the Grand National exhaust system OJ's Got Something Brewing in his mind. But before that, we're going on a father-son off-road trip in the Ml55 that I just showed you again. Yes, we are. it's a yearly thing.
We went last year. he was there when I broke the transfer cases. It was a ton of fun, but we're trailering it this time. Smart moves, Yeah, and he might have a little more fun in it if you don't Yeah, exactly.
And then he might bring something too. So Facebook Instagram at legits3 Cars and fluid Motor Union will post up a bunch of pictures on there of the off-road trip and any other cool updates from Fluid. You guys are going to want to check it out and their YouTube has kicked off. It is amazing! Check it out! link down below as well. OJ I Will see you soon, more than likely. Yeah, that's right. Alex Heading back to Chicago Sounds good. Imagine what he's got brewing in his head toward the exhaust on this thing so we're on the way back to Chicago Uh, let's head back to Legit's Reporters I think I have you guys have been asking about I Gotta look back at some of the ones we finished and got rid of.
Oh and yes, you can put ketchup on your hot dog. It's not allowed technically in Chicago but I I like ketchup on hot dogs so I do it! I Highly recommend is the best pizza bread and it's pop. It's not soda. it's hot.
All right. Hang on I Gotta be a used car salesman real quick. My Buddy Lee Stopped in from Scrap Life Garage on YouTube and uh I shouldn't be here. You should be here I should not.
But you need a V in your life. A V wagon of course a V wagon. So Lee is in Chicago for a few days and he had given me a little inkling of hope that he might want to buy this and it is for sale and it's really, really fast. It's a salvage title, right? It's rebuilt title.
It's been on the road for years built. Salvage I Mean it's basically the same. It was previously wrecked, but you know those are just Minor Details But you know I like the cleanest of the clean cars, you know I don't deal with junks. it's very, very dirty I haven't watched it in like a month at least.
but lots of horsepower you can fit a lot of Salvage rebuild Parts in the back and hauling around and you are a used car sales. I'm a used car sale. That's right. I'll even let you use it for the whole weekend while you're in Chicago Just take it home for a test drive I Guarantee you'll be signing the papers after a weekend with the V Wagon Dirty Trick.
That's a very dirty trick. You are good. That's good for sure. All right guys.
I'm literally scrolling through my phone at all of my videos to see if I've missed anything that I need to update you guys on. I think I've gotten everything that blue WS6 that was in a couple videos sold that a long time ago the Alpena sold that C63 engine job. we gave that away, that's gone. Yeah, everything else.
everything else is done guys. So if there's a car that I missed, just go to my playlist and you'll probably see all the videos on it including the last one where I finished it and told you guys what happened to it, but more often than not they simply just get sold. That's about it. So anyway I hope you guys really enjoyed this update video I hope it answered all of life's questions and if it did, give this video a big thumbs up.
Share the video with your friends, subscribe if for some crazy reason you haven't already and most importantly I will see you all in the next video which should be on the DeLorean provided nothing holds me back I don't know Anyway, have a great one I'll see you all next time! Thank you.
An suv isn't a truck
Can you provide a list of cars you're selling, how much and when?
We use to say soda pop in Wisconsin 😂
Please, please do not do lower the van. It's a very cool sleeper tow vehicle. I hope you paint it back white with absolutely no flames. 🔥
What happened to the iroc
Did you check the pin fitment on the iat connectors on the CL65?
Flames on the van for sure!
GN's are awesome. keep that bad boy.
I would lower the van. Do a nice paint job and nice wheels. You don't see them like that often, so to me, it would be worth it.
I also prefer Lou Malnati's over Giordano's for deep dish
What's up with that mustang svt the red one
I would probably paint that express black. I don’t normally like black vehicles but I think it would look good with all those windows.
Watching all the success you have had over the years makes me wish I would of made different choices in my life when I was younger.
