Me too

Thank god its not me

Hoooooly wow that was actually kinda spooky

same lmao

yep absolutely, one day when money isn’t an issue i’m completely rebuilding a mk4 jetta gli with a turbo vr6. i’d take that over most supercars

Yep, first car was a '79 Camaro and I'm waiting until I have the money and space to get one and do it right from the ground up!

I've got a visually modified H6 Outback (looks like a JDM Legacy Blitzen) that I spent 7 years trying to buy. It's the car I'm keeping forever, and my dream is to go down to the chassis and build it up like in this video. And I also have a Volvo V70 that I wanna do a budget autocross build on, because sometimes cheap is beautiful.

not full but one would be cool

I disagree

Well maybe, if it wasn't for the 7 second audio and vidio lag/crash that immediately precedes it.

Haha. Broken export

Been watching donut since the beginning, it’s easy to miss how drastic of a transformation he made when you see him every week.

I straight up paused the video at the same time stamp to look for comments about it. I didn't notice it over time but man James is looking great!

​@@alexwellsliveca I highly doubt it. If that were the case, he'd probably still be doing Up to Speed because hyper energy wouldn't be a problem then. He quit doing them because of heart problems and you think he's on nose candy? Wild take

it's not corrupted for me

​Still corrupted for me.

Chris is a selfless kind of guy. Genuine as one can be. My best friend in the world.

Crazy man I just wrote in another comment Castro has been around since WAY back in the early days of the internet on the forums, so happy to see him still so passionate about E30's and seemingly crushing it at his shop

@@basic.sportscar I loved that the moment he knew the car fired, revved and idled, he told them to cut it. No glamour show for a YT vid, just the smartest thing to do for a first start. (when it's not your car at least 🤣)

The whole thing about wanting a “tighter” steering is sus though

@@supremelordoftheuniverse5449 it’s just the way he explained it. The difference isn’t loose or tight, it’s the ratio which changes how many turns required from lock on one side to lock on the other. The z3 rack is a popular upgrade because it takes less turns lock to lock than the e30 racks. This translates to sharper or quicker steering feel and improved handling, also requiring less driver input.

Sooo sick to hear ground control suspension on donut!! Ground control is from my hometown. When James was dreaming of e30s at 14 years old. Ground control was just getting started and on every single Honda in our county 😂😂

Thats awesome, I recently bought my custom GC setup for my s54 e36. I'm gonna install it after I get my 6speed swap done. GC really does take care of you when they build the custom setups.

I put in the same Ground Control set up. On the rears, I have my set up reverse then what you have. The cone is on top and the adjuster is on bottom. Does it matter?

I literally need them to bring up to speed back

Watch the Baja Ranger series. It’s 👍

yea , true

James used to act in mediocre B comedies. One starred Johnny Knoxville even. The rest were mostly writers or producers for mtv i think

@@yugimotobutjacked3231 oh shit thats right!! I always wondered why he looked familiar haha

@@TheProdigalGoob I saw one of them growing up. Just by chance had a peek at Donut Wiki Page and unlocked a core memory haha. Donut Wiki Page does reveal how much money and corporate influence is in Donut. That's worrying especially in this most sick age of greed

It's cool that Sandro is on it now. They should let Jeff go, he sucks. Yelling at the camera doesn't make anything funny.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why you always poop on company time.

holy i thought i was the only to notice, surprising nostalgic feeling hearing the old up to speed background music

Thanks ECS for making this whole build and my personal build possible!

And, then, you got T-boned at the first intersection? 😢 [That happened to a buddy's dad. Spent 5 years building a 69 Camaro. First trip into town an 80 year old lady ran a stop sign...]

@@NarwahlGaming This is exactly what worries me about doing this kind of build.

Bumper to bumper mentioned

​@@NarwahlGaming The good thing about those old Camaros is that there is still a huge aftermarket support for them. You can actually buy a brand body for a 69 Camaro that includes the doors and trunk lid for $13,500. You just need a VIN number from a donor car to use it. So your buddy would just have to swap over all his good parts to the new body after it's painted.

@@evoman44 Oh, nice! Like a Factory Five kit? Sadly, my buddy's dad has passed away on the past year.

Came here to say that. Cause man that is dope.

I never knew I needed one, before now. 😂

@@NarwahlGamingMe too. I just swapped out my M54 like two weeks ago. Lost compression in the old one. Head Gasket. I think this would be a fun addition to it.

I concur with this statement. You could sell tf outta that engine cover.

@@OrangeMinister those m54s are insanely solid unless they overheat. what mileage did yours die at?

The saddening thing is that you've made me realise its been like 7/8 years for me and all I ever remember is a Donut plushie _once_ (and iirc they had a Donut decal on a vehicle once)

I thought my phone kicked the bucket 😭😭

Yeah, ECS is great, when their great. But they do constantly drop the ball. They LOVE to say things are in stock when they aren't, and their customer service is terrible. I won't buy anything with them ever again after my last experience. they say a part was in stock, so we ordered a part for a customer's car. The part never arrived. We contacted customer service countless times. They always said it would be shipping out in the next day or 2, which never happened. After a couple weeks, we ended up ordering the same part from FCP Euro. They had it shipped out the next day for us. After the part arrived from FCP, and we got the part installed and the car back to the customer, we tried cancelling the order with ECS. They refused to cancel the order. They said the order was already sent to their vendor and they couldn't cancel it. But if it was "in stock" like they said, why did it have to be ordered from a vendor? Got a "manager" on the phone (probably wasn't actually a manager) and he basically told us to go pound sand and we couldn't cancel the order. Had to contact my credit card company and file a charge back for it in order to get my money back. We use to spend lots of money with them for customers. Although we had a few hiccups with them before, and with their "in stock" items not actually being in stock, that was the last straw and we won't do business with them again after that.

ECS fucking sucks and so does their customer support. I’ll never spend another dollar with that company

@@BillDerr Similar experiences, which is why I shop elsewhere first (usually FCP or Eurotuning) and only use ECS if it's the last and only place available. You're experience was likely of many others and mine, where they drop ship items from another warehouse or vendor that was supposed to have it in stock but was extremely lazy and terrible with inventory. I ordered a part for my Audi S4 that they drop ship from 034 Motorsports, said it was in stock online when every other retailer was on back order. I even called to confirm with someone that it was in stock before placing the order. After placing the order and waiting several days and not shipping out, I follow-up only for them to say that it not only wasn't in stock and they knew it, they fessed up and said they were taking orders so they could forward them to 034 until there was enough demand in quantity for 034 to make more. Which by the way, took a few months of waiting! By that time, the other places already had it back in stock and available. After that I REFUSE to order from ECS unless I'm absolutely desperate!

Since 2010 or earlier, I frequently purchased parts and maintenance items for my B5 S4 through ECS. The only issue I ever had was the whoa! that's a lot of airbag packaging material.

That's cuz most of the time they don't even have the parts on hand. I know this cuz I live about 2 hours from them. They literally admitted it after they realized they couldn't blame it on a shipping issue

Drove a Wartburg when I was 18, such a silly car.

To each his own I guess. While it definitely needed more tire to handle the extra power, I would have tried to be much more subtle. I am NOT a fan of oversized wheels/tires extending past the bodywork. I also think something more like the original wheels would have looked better. The new ones are weird. But I love the E30 - I had an early one myself some 30 years ago, and of the 25 or so cars I have owned in my life, it's the one I miss the most.

Wait for your second one, you'll love it but it will dry your pockets. The third one is always the charmer, you know better and you go for what you want

@@juanvids This couldn't be more spot on, on my third right now :D
