How to Get your Car Ready for an Endurance Race (and not blow up)
Рет қаралды 2,373,749
Күн бұрынToday I show you how to install gauges, a heel plate, wheel hub studs, Lexan windows, and modify your exhaust to turn your car into an endurance race car, kind of... Hopefully all of our fixes prepare us for the endurance race this year because last year definitely didn't go well with our car lasting only 15 laps until the engine blew up!

Hard work and dedication can allow you to do anything you set your mind to. Watching your videos helped not only inspire my son to be future mechanic but also helped entertain him when he was battling cancer. I hope all your other fans know how kind hearted you are. My family and I wish you, your family and friends continued success. Thank you!

Great video Chris! I just wanted to mention as a reminder that while dismantling your steering wheel to change it to a quick release steering wheel, you should unplug the car's battery just to prevent the airbag from engaging while you're getting rid of the stock steering wheel, which could cause injury. Edit: I also think yellow headlight tints would look sick on the car btw

For people that don't want to change to studs, look for a wheel hanger alignment pin, usually about $10 each, take out two of your wheel bolts, thread the pins in a few threads and the pull the rest of the bolts. Keeps the wheel from falling off and makes putting the wheel back on a breeze.
