I really like the shots of Coby and Mark watching each session and talking to each other as it goes on!

Mark is questioning his life choices 😂

Best series on youtube. The ups and downs of racing, letting us live vicariously through ya'll.

You guys have truly mastered event filming in a way no one else quite can.

LSD v's Open diff has been tried here in the UK on the Mk3 MR2 and the lap time differences are significant.... like 4 or 5 seconds on a 2 minute lap circuit. Cornering stability especially on the exit is greatly improved, with the open diff even on the 2ZZ engine you can't put the torque down, on the 2AR swap it would just be silly to drive it on an open diff.

Dang guys!! You broke BOTH cars?!! Hopefully you’ll bounce back quickly 😢

Yea ...those CV joints are being asked a lot of in those door-to-door races guys. We strip, clean and rebuild our axles for club circuit racing every other race event(about 4~5 hours of track time; practice, quali, and 3 races) and use Redline CV-2 grease. Good luck next time!

What's wild is, when the MR-S gets sorted, Ben is prolly gonna fly in that thing. He's going over a "mini-Initial Drift plotline" with this thing.

The way that civic came around the corner at 4:00 good god 🔥🔥🔥

You guys really need to relax and have fun a bit! You remind me of when I started driving, I was so hot tempered and if anything went wrong I made sure everyone, including myself knew it wasn’t my fault. There’s literally no reason to do this and a thousand reasons not to. Complaining is bad for focus, the team, the viewers, the sponsors, etc. The second you get in that seat your job is no longer mechanic, KZfaqr, host, or engineer - it’s driver. Just driver. Drive the car, as is, to the best of your abilities. Communicate what the car is doing, but don’t waste brain power on diagnosing. Your coach is right and is being really nice about it. I would be holding you by the helmet and shaking you 😂 I love seeing you guys develop and grow, so keep it up.

Are upgraded axles allowed in your classes? Also, we need to get these boys sponsored by ignite and get them some drums of E85 or E90 to have with them.

I love the positivity between the team the whole time, especially the comment for Mark… “Then what’s the rush? There is no rush, the man’s just a superstar!” Just keep pushing, you’ll get ‘em!

I’ve had that happen on my MR2S also after I installed suspension and messed with the geometry. Went through three axles. What I ended up doing is throwing in a celica axle since they’re a little longer and has been running good ever since

I must say this as been 1 of the most exciting episodes lol. I so want that MR2 to succeed...Cody Cody Cody, you the man bro!! My saturday has been mad. THANK YOU

Coby with the solid suggestions and coaching. Love that. And Mark is a godsend for you guys.

I just want to say as a professional videographer/photographer and life-long car enthusiast, I absolutely love your videos. High production value, good storytelling, and great characters. This is beyond the quality of what you even see on TV (in my opinion) and feel more like a netflix or prime series. Great shit guys!

Loving this real racing content, Ben Lin keep at it, I hope you know how many people are cheering for you.

Gears & Gasoline: Ben by Ben, Axle by Axle!! Keep it up team. It’s all part of the process.

That shit looked fun as hell regardless of the result

Fellas, I trained Soldiers for 12 years or so. The activities are different but the principle mind set is the same. Dump everything you have no use for in your head. Focus on your win for days on end sit and visualize your race. Tunnel your focus into positive performance. The corner you have trouble on, close your eyes and see yourself nail it perfect. It feels silly at first but your mind will go where it's been. It will put you where you put yourself in the day dream. You will instantly know what's happening, you'll know the outcome. It's silly but this is a very solo thing to embrace. What I know for a fact is that no matter what it is your thinking of. The thoughts that occupy your mind the most, is exactly what you become. Scared the police are going to pull you over for your new stancy boy jetta? There they were. It's a sword that cuts both ways, you understand. It's very easy to tunnel negativity, we're hard wired for it. That's why everything looses it's luster after some time. You start noticing the scratch here, little chip there. Force yourself for 5 min before you go to sleep to think about how good tomorrow will be. It's important to do this before you sleep, because that's when your brain is doing all the "programming" for the next day. Enjoy your hard work and enjoy what you do. Find the humor in your sometimes unfortunate life events. You're fantastic both of you, Luke too. Boys just dream a little bit and believe it. You'll be amazed. Promise.

These guys are getting there. Enjoy these journey toward becoming legends.

Did I just see a fwd Civic perfectly drifting at the beginning of the video???!!!!

That MR2 desperately needs a wing and front aero to balance it.

In City Racer, an online racing game that has been in service for 20 years in Korea, many users say they wish the Toyota MR2 model would be released.

"DO BETTER" 😅😅.... That is verbatim what my gf yells at me when I'm sucking at putt-putt or other menial activities. Your entire team is the best. The way y'all talk each other up and push the others is great. You guys got this. What a journey this will be to tell at the end (a long long way off). I will be along for the ride EVERY step of the way!!

Watching you fellas go from goofy kids to damn fine young men on here has been given me hope for the younger generation of car enthusiast....THANK YOU GUYS...AND KEEP KICKING ASS!!🙏🇺🇲👍💯

Love this. You guys did your best. I can't wait to see the improvements and the progress. This is shot like a movie, the production and quality is unmatched.

Love these. Living vicariously through you guys. Keep up the good work!!!

You guys are an amazing team. Seeing you celebrate, motivate and congratulate each other is very wholesome. Keep it up! :)

Loving this vid so far! Perfect balance of on-track and off-track focus

Love this racing content! Top quality !

Man, I love these videos! Your film crew is top notch.

Great video guys and keep up the hard work!!!

I love watching you guys! Keep it up. 🎉

Your films are so captivating! Emotional!

Love the editing and music. I look forward to the next epiosde/adventure! Good luck in the next race!

Ben i think why the Evo was an instant gratification was because there was a recipe already it was almost like copy and paste, adding better quality parts and some fine tuning it was a rocket ship but with the Toyota MR2 its like you trying to figure out what flavour you want the MR2 to be. You’ll get there, you’ll eventually figure out what the MR2 needs to go fast. I reckon better diff and some rear downforce will shoot you out those corners. Love the content btw!!! Cheers 🍻

Great episode guys! I really enjoyed watching this. Good luck next race! Way to show what it's like racing Gridlife. Looks like an emotional rollercoaster 🎢

This series is absolutely brilliant so far, great stuff!

The video and editing was very well put together..well done

thanks again for the update guy.

another great episode! awesome editing and scoring on this one!

3:56 that was nice

I think you guys should invest in tire warmers.Especialy for that civic,wince rear tires are cold until 3rd lap

I want to put how slow Ben's MRS is in perspective. An NB NASA Spec Miata with a stock 1.8L running a restrictor plate with no aero ran 1:03.4 this year. A car that has maybe 120whp at best. The issue has never been power, it has been balance and while Ben is commited to the 2AR the car will never have that.

This video format was great.

Lotta great cars in these races, can’t wait to see more!

What an exciting race. 👍🏻

Shoutout to my Westchester county ppl @6:20 😂 shell with e85 right down the rd from me in Greenwich i love it!

Best camera shots on KZfaq! G&G rocks!

The most serious gears and gasoline episode ever, emotional roller coaster. Love every second of it.

Really great episode! Bummer about the axles. Coby gave some good advice and was a nice balance to the frustation you guys were feeling.

Whoever is behind the camera work and slow mo needs a raise. Killing it. 🔥 Loving the series, drama and all. Good work all round to the team at Gears n Gasoline.

Breaking axles - FWD life! Better drivetrain fuse than a diff or transmission though...

I'm rooting for you guys on the next race!!!!

You could put the whole GLTC era into one film some day. Races, improvements, track side fixes, etc… It would be really similar to Ford v Ferrari based on what I am seeing at this moment. That would be so unbelievably cool!

3:55 that power slide wild

May have been a bummer on the weekend for you both, but this may be one of your best done racing videos yet. Supremely enjoyable to watch! Hopefully the cars get sorted out for the next one.

Nothing better than those flying civic drifts, love it.

That was an awesome video! Thanks for uploading fellas. Sucks that both cars broke an axle 😞

So fun racing with you and the other GLTC cars at Lime Rock. We would've been close the whole weekend if it wasn't for that axle.

Great video!

3:55 That was legit!!

This video was so well produced, actually had me on like the edge of my seat and I’m legitimately excited for improvements on the MR2

loved the mr2-Civic-Miata battle-carousel thing, MR, FF and FR all tight and fighting, noiiiice

great show

Great race you guys y'all both may have broken axles in today's race but y'all both made off the track safe and sound.

Cody is such a positive and motivitional dude. Great guy to have around you

I was really sad to see the cars break down, but I'm happy I got to see them in action, in-person! I really wish you guys the best next year, and I hope you can defeat the curse and enjoy the track and its beauty.

Gotta be my favorite YT channel ever. Keep the racing content coming!

3:55 this goes so hard for some reason lol

Saw you guys trucking west down i40 through the pandhandle of Texas for a split second. Crazy how recognizable the mr2 liverie is.

Love the continuation of the track suit, drinks in despair scene from last Lime Rock track day. except Thorn was there to join him this time 😂

What a fantastic series 🔥 you guys are improving and soon will be on top of GLTC 💪

This looks like a fantastic series, wish I could go racing.

Had to check my URL bar.....no, Im not on Netflix..... But your content should! Thank you for the entertainment, this will be shared with all of my friends

So no one is going to talk about that beautiful slide around 4:00 😮😮

Terrible luck, enjoyable video to watch :) exciting racing, yall are definetly stronger than in previous videos

These race episodes are great.

I used to have one of those Celica's and the rear did the same thing on mine under brakes XD

Well the MR-2 looks faster with the new wrap. 😂 But seriously you guys keep me hooked every weekend with these videos. Keep them coming. 😃😃

5:19 i wish my da9 integra was that nice to be on track, im hopefully going to start tracking it sometime.

Would love to see more track sessions like these Bens

All this experience racing an undrivable car is gonna make Ben Lin an absolute monster to deal with the moment the MR2 is competitive

@gearsandgasoline The looseness on the mr2 is coming from the open diff, as it goes through a corner and unloads the inside wheel the inside wheel spins faster and the outside wheel acts like it's on a tripod so it rotates. Put an lsd or a locked diff in it

lol when thorn broke his first axle I thought right away "should probably do the other side too" hind sight man that hind sight really gets ya.

Man another killer video

The production quality of these videos is next level

3:54 ayoo tht was too fckn dope

Loving the series. I have a Spyder with a LSD put that Toyota had in the later series Spyders I can now take corners much more confidently. Probably repeating what’s already known but I want to see that Civic beat by the Spyder so bad.

3:58 dang that’s definitely a poster

Love me some Coby. Another tragic but great video GG. The shot at 18:21 is so funny, just a lonely Civic in a sea of S2000's.

Can't wait to see the next race in California! The Big One!

Ben thorn being a real drama Queen this ep. Raw.

This one was great

Short Ben: "Can't wait for the big one" #thatswhatshesaid

3:55 crazy shot

I am still amazed by Ben Lin driving a 2AR MR2 with open diff.

0:11 there's a pt cruiser.... I've been waiting forever to see one on this channel

The best part was hearing they're going to laguna seca. Good luck boys!
