    Bump for the best thing I've ever seen on youtube. If you're a petrol heard and not following this series YOU ARE MISSING OUT

    So much bro in these videos :)

    Total woman repellent too. The gf walked in the room, took one look at your man... 180ed it out the door without a word.

    I read a thread of a someone in the UK who put a c2 body on a chopped evo chassis. It must have been a phenomenal Q car

    Just watched those 8 episodes. Wow, the attention to detail is amazing and completely over engineered but with that amount of extra metal the original gt4 is probably lighter.

    Anyway, Finally a properly built mini.

    V8 Mustang for 161 then?

    Theres a pretty standard swap for this now with high end motorcycle blocks such as the Hayabusa. You can take a Lambo off the line with one. Always wanted to try it.

    These shows are like the modern version of 'hands' that was on RTE back in the day.

    Watched them all this evening without knowing it wasn't finished yet. Disaster!

    That's what annoyed me too. No last episode!!

    I did warn ye! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭BigEejit


    Just watched all the episodes. That guy has skills ... some really complex parts made from scratch. I like the humorous way they go about it, I'd love to know how long they spent making some of the more complex parts like the firewall...

    They go completely overboard on some things, that fecking door mechanism :O

    Seriously class videos with the workmanship, ingenuity, addention to detail and whit. Very addictive viewing and in awe of the commitment, time, effort and money involved. Even the video editing is top class. Should have their own show on discovery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭BigEejit


    ....Should have their own show on discovery.
    I agree with you there, but i'm not sure how they would get on. They are doing a very long term project whereas I doubt the wheeler dealer lads spend more than a month on even the most difficult cars....

    That venting is a thing of beauty!
    Kinda think they went a little overboard with the front end though, the auto open/close could only be useful at shows and such.

    Thought the same myself and very complicated, I know your man is great at wiring etc but the switched etc look fairly delicate and over complicated. Unnecessary weight.

    My god the guillotine/press was some impressive workmanship!

    The suspense to see if it worked or not. Better than any episode of Game of Thrones :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    Over engineering at it's finest, quality fab work though. I was impressed with the fitting of the s2000 seat so far.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,531 ✭✭✭Titzon Toast


    I love those guys! Did you spot Turbo Tom's nod to the Bad Obsession lads in one of his last videos?

    Its top notch stuff, over engineered at every opportunity. The detail is really stunning.

    Happy days, think I spend next couple nights catching up.

    Thought it might be longer as they had a stand at Goodwood for car, seen a couple pics of it online, still unfinished but had couple more bits done.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 268 ✭✭JakeBell




    Brilliant as ever.

    It is half an hour to be fair! But it sure doesn't feel like it.

    Loved every second - and I'm sure Mr Flibble did too .... didn't you Mr. Flibble?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,385 ✭✭✭✭D'Agger


    I found it a very long episode for 30mins in that they got a serious amount of work done. Can't wait to see them wrap it up - there's still lots to do but the main body of work appears to be done

    Their ingenuity never ceases to amaze me - Problem? Nah we'll just custom build our way around that!

    That fuel tank is a work of art.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Tools they create to do the work have as much quality as the work done to Binky. Clever bloke that Ralph :D
