Very welcome surprise! Thank you 🙏

Happy ncbd

Happy days!

thanks buddy keep living the dream

I love when you release videos, I think you have the right amount of projects, the right cars, and just an awesome thing going on. Just wish you could do 2-3 videos a week normally, I just love your content. How does it feel spending a (former) years’ salary on ONE CAR? I’m glad your happy Alex, your a good guy but please, DONT LET THE $$$ GO TO YOUR HEAD. I’m seeing your attitude changing a bit, try to keep it in check, remember the harder financial times and how blessed you truly are to be financially stable, have a healthy family, and doing what you love doing. Many people don’t get that opportunity

Just two peers, talking to each other with mutual respect. Nice to see.

“Huh, I don’t do pricing!” Like it’s a dirty word! How ‘bout you friggin’ ball park it for me then?

And he knows all about the 'Hot - Crazy' matrix!!

@@andybollen7354 All hail Lord Ivan, warden of the McLaren!!

​@@mikedemarchelier9090 probably not a got idea to ball park a job by eye knowing McLarens are finicky to work on. Think Ivan was being diplomatic...

Definitely dark stays cleaner longer then white interior

Dark interiors are definitely timeless

Stressing at work today. It's lunchtime, and this video is going to change my mood.

@@kerrylewis2581 Hope you enjoy the video!

@@justinw.7407 I did. The tune surprised me but now we get to see Alex go back.

Agreed!!! Thank you Alex!!!

Amen..! Spend the day on the Autobahn and finally home. What a pleasant surprise.

How the heck did you figure out that it was the same part as the kitchen cabinet? Same with the Sentra coil pack. Show us how to cross reference and save cash Alex! Great videos!

@@iketurner1124 it has to be that PR-3 marking on the side of the part was how he was able to find it and match it but No idea how he was able to figure out it was the same without pulling the original one...

@@DenalisGarage Probably looked up the McLaren part online and match it, would be my guess

i can’t believe he doesn’t already have a mil, kinda a shame that many don’t know about this channel

@@jacob1423 the attention span for most people is 10 seconds, Alex puts out long format videos which a lot of us car guys love but average viewers won’t.

Like, no oil changes or anything? OK...

Eh while this would work for a 3K beater, I wouldn't recommend this strategy in the long run for most cars. Yes it'll run but cars need preventative maintenance and regular fixes. You can drive on leaking struts but is it safe? You can ignore motor mounts but at one point, you'll start damaging things. That $7K repair bill probably recommended replacement of a lot of parts that needed replacement from a while ago.

@@donmynack Is this what is call sh1t posting? Making yourself out to be an idiot like this? Please explain what failure goes on between your two rude brain cells that you think this is appropriate.

7k is no wreck, go through the list and be selective. I used to have a very tuned and modded VW new beetle, I'd have her checked every 6mo-1yr and just take care of the small stuff before it becomes bigger, bill was rarely over 1k$ including filters, flushes etc. Consider it was a heavily modded and tuned car, driven hard at times, but I always took care of stuff in time and kept on top of it, thus avoidin bigger hits. Biggest was 3k or so, motor mounts, all belts, hoses, fluids, plugs and complete checkup.

Nah, when that old timing belt lets go and totals your engine, you won't be driving and enjoying it. A friend with a garage always talks about the players who come in with their "great deal" BMW or Mercedes, and can't believe the cars show out with $7-10K in deferred maintenance items. Why was it so cheap?

Maybe, but McLarens cost a fortune in maintenance, just ask Jay Leno.

I recommended Carly to someone online because of you Alex. It was for a BMW the guy needed a good computer to check an SRS light but I told them what’s possible and they asked for the name of the device, so I’m sure I made a sale for them

Take your time. I love your long episodes style videos. Great quality videos, repair and maintenance. I love all your projects but the gnx and the gsx/talen. I really like how you wash your cars and always keep them looking fresh. Have you thought about doing some tasteful wrap/decal to a car. I'd love to see what you come up with. Oh and my fav is the V 🤩

I've got a Snap-On Triton, but still might get a Carly because I have a Mini. The Snap-On won't give me access to the Mini's BCM internal software to configure it like the Carly.

you in the video who don't use ear protection are incredibly stupid!!! you must use it from the beginning, not after you have exposed your ear to loud noise!!

Great intro!

KZfaqr constantly mentions his personal enthusiasm for a certain product that he shows off and name drops at every opportunity, and the product turns out to cost more money than implied? How shockingly unusual! (Seriously, I know these channels exist on sponsor money, but sometimes it seems excessive. At least this guy isn't quite as bad (so far) for it as other KZfaqrs)

ROFL... yup... The internet hype and marketing always seems not to include that part in the brochures... Like the time DME (uses M-engineering aka dynospectrum back then) destroyed SS717s car at wanna go fast and it was going clack clack clack and smoking all the way down the airstrip... but SS said it was an oil line and the car was NEVER seen again ROFL... or like the time M- Engineering detonated Feddys 675LT while he was showing off to his friends and they blamed the oil temp and the construction of the motor 🤣or the time M blew up Randy's Grey Mclaren 720s coupe... or that Senna they jacked up the motor on... or this car kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jbFhgdykvZbZkqc.html ROFL... Oh can't forget Gintani destroying all types of Mclarens like DDE's car when it blew up and caught fire doing rolling burnouts but they thought it was an oil line 🤣 Then they tell a bunch of fast and furious fanboys it's Mclarens fault that their low 9 second stock car exploded rather than take the blame for grenading engines left and right with all types of nonsense promises of e85 1000hp 8 second 1/4 mile rolling burnout antilag map switching.... Oh yeah your shits blowing up fo sho 🤣 Then LSC says in the video that cannonball is the "best mclaren shop in the world" but they can't even get an afr on the old MP4 and they farm out their tune to M engineering on a teamviewer session 🤣 Like bruh ... Then I read these comments and it's parrots and fanboys with all types of theories 🤣 Propaganda really does work... Yeah it's the rod's fault... the same rod that was in the car when you tuned it right? sooo you put in a tune that blew the motor... got it! ROFL

It’s just a glorified Nissan.

@@longsleevethong1457 What kind of Nissan has a Carbon Tub? Might need to snag one 🤣

@@leepicgaymer5464 was teasing a bit but every mclaren uses the same engine. It’s the Nissan v8 out of the r390.

​@@longsleevethong1457 Having a Nissan LeMans racing engine( even though it was designed by TWR, a British Racing Team) can't be a Bad thing, just change them Rods when you want more Power😅

@@markwalton8644 notice on his other videos that regular Nissan parts were working on the mclaren?

Thanks brother!

3000 miles, no more no less as the only people telling you otherwise want you to buy a new car or lease a new one every 3 to 5 years, and oil and filters are less than the cost of a new engine, plus also when the engine starts let it do its start up procedure where it automatically revs high for about a minute or two and then drops down to get the oil to the bearings, then drive off which will probably do more to save the engine in general than anything else.

5k mile OCIs on any engine w/DI. DI tends to cause fuel dilution of the oil - I have seen in many UOAs across different engines, and it's just not worth pushing the oil life in these low bearing clearance engines when the oil is dropping a viscosity grade due to fuel dilution.

3k if you love your car :)

He's tested other brands but here he's comparing blended to full synthetic. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6mjhLChxrTRp2w.html

These other guys obviously are not mechanics. The oil and additive packages as well as filters being much improved does make 10k no problem. If you change it every 3k not only is it a PITA but your creating 3 times the waste oil and dirty filters and also means 3 times the production needed. The 3000 started when quaker state sold a non-detergent oil that almost ruined them. remember the "Quaker State Motor" comments and the sludged up engines that resulted?Save your money and the environment and your time. 10k hurts nothing!

too bad they're much better at being looked at, than being driven/used If they're so simple, why do they have so many problems?

@@LEOhopeful Because first production car for a company (especially supercars) is a sign to avoid it. Anything on anyones first try is bound to go wrong.

Lol.. nooooo

@@colchronic That's too bad. they made a good team. I wonder what happened

Sir it’s about time I had just left a comment on ur CTS? Vid thank u it’s about timeeee🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Friends don't let friends buy Brittish cars.

Road trip to Florida! We need the Tavarish Collab!!! And you and Peter can help with the P1

Yes I do but I live in England.

This company is owned by Saudi and Iranian businessmen..

What happened to peter?

Please shut up about this. I'm sick of hearing about it.

@@Private011 don't read it then

Obviously Peter is out of a job. Maybe you could start your own channel and give him a job. Maybe Alex will bring him back, but that won't be any time soon. So it does'nt help to chirp in the comments about it either, what ever happened is none of our business.
