He also said the most powerful GTR he's driven was 900hp, so 550 is nothing to him at that point. And he works on high hp builds on the regular. You naturally become desensitized to anything you're around on a regular basis.

I've wondered about that one in the past on other videos of guys racing the Nürburgring and such. I think it was Micha Charoudin who said that it's more of a place of Zen and pure concentration.

Up here in Canada we can import these direct from Japan from the 2008 and 2009 model years under our 15 year import law. It doesn’t help much but we can pay $10k less than buying one locally. The best part is many of them come with aftermarket parts and accessories only available in Japan.

The way he's removing the PPF isn't actually the safest and easiest way, but it's close. If you use the steamer and then use an air hose to blow under the wrap or PPF, it comes off much easier. The air blows it up like a balloon and there's very minimal pulling force on the paint.

I have a ‘72 240Z and ’73 914, had the Z since ‘81 and drove it as a family car (child seat strapped on the deck between the seats!) then had a second child and she (Z) fell into disrepair.😢 The 914 has a great body, but needs restoration, but I only paid $185.00 for her. Then my son had brain surgery 20 years ago, and I’ve been in a battle with after effects of cancer since 1979… Your videos are helping us get through the fight to GET GOING! Thank you!!!

They're absolutely the best phone mounts you can buy. They're not cheap but I've given them as Christmas gifts and people love them. You're welcome. Only one issue that drives me crazy. When you rotate them they get loose and you have to tighten them with the center screw.
