That’s Khalil’s secret. He’s always wearing Jordans.

Try the Jamie Hyneman method sometime. Put on a clean white shirt and keep it that way. Makes you think twice or thrice the things you do.

"Finished" might be a stretch. Painted and largely assembled, yes, but they're still working on it. Various things cropped up when they tried to make it drivable and the interior hasn't been completely ironed out just yet. Hopefully sometime soon. I'm looking forward to seeing it run and then to see what their next plans are after they drive it around a bunch and then finally finish the Escargot. They've mentioned a carbon fiber bodied car that they've got a lot of the pieces for, so maybe they'll try that, or maybe they'll custom-make another homologation special like Binky. Only time and funding will tell.

@@mndlessdrwer yep it was said in jest really . I’m an avid watcher of BOM and a Patreon of theirs .

Superfastmat's Jag, Jeff's Alfarrari, Ron Finger's Fierro, Fanatik's Triumph, and B is for Build's GTR are a lot of fun, too.

Binky?

@@MrPeller80 Project Binky, by Bad Obsession Motorsport. Do yourself a favor and take a day or two and binge watch it.

@@MrPeller80 I'm jealous man, start from Episode 1 and keep going till its almost done. It took them 8 years to get to the current stage

Binky, the best brackets on the web.

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

use tipo r instead of type r

A red "R" after the GTB instead of the "i" would be cool

Honestly though, there’s a lot of unfounded fear in this comment. Spacers (high quality, hubcentric ones) are safe on stock components. That’s what they’re meant for. It’s totally safe to run spacers on an otherwise factory car. If it wasn’t, companies like H&R would have been sued into oblivion by this point.

@@stanceworks You're right, I had some bad wording/phrasing in my previous comment. Properly engineered ones for sure have no issues. I think what's fueling the wheel spacer fear is a lot of consumers lean towards the cheap options for spacers/adapters and then have the failure issues associated with those lesser quality parts. Goes back to the safety factor issue. Good quality parts come with a price tag reflective of their engineering costs (usually, more cost doesn't always mean better obviously) where the engineers put a lot of calculations and thought process into their design, material choice, etc. vs a knockoff one made of weaker materials. I actually did a whole project on this concept with wheels back when I was in engineering school, compared Rota wheels and their material composition vs the Volks or Rays they were knocking off. I had CAD models I ran FEA on and everything. Even assuming a perfect replica, the weaker materials Rotas are built with resulted in like a 50% weaker wheel or the like in sudden impact loads like hitting a mild pothole. I'd have to dig up my report for the exact values, it's in a box somewhere in my storage unit. But I'm sure this applies to cheap alternatives in any component and then amplifies the stigma of "X part is bad" because more people are exposed to the weaker versions of things. We all want our builds to cost less, so I get why people do it. It just comes down to knowing where it's worth spending the extra cash on. You clearly are taking the time to think through everything and taking everything into account. I know you'll be fine!

Much appreciated!

Whoa whoa whoa, you can definitely use a crescent wrench as a hammer within reason. Everything else i agree with.

I think another reason is they assume these are plastic spacers you can just pick up from autozone or any parts store.

@@kennethgamble5498 plastic wheel spacers? Never heard such a thing. Now I have made some solid carbon fiber ones for drag cars.

Maybe the universal ones you buy at autozone. 🤣

Absolutely agree. I see nothing nothing danger or even remotely bad on this build. In contrary. On the other side I see many people doing stupid things just maintaining stock car with stock parts. But internet environment makes many people professors of MIT.

We use spacers on our race car, to meet the various track rules for different sanctioning bodies. Track width might be 60 1/4 inches, if Mike builds his car with a 60” width, whats he gonna do, rebuild his car with an extra 1/4 “ ? - NO LOL!! add a spacer, go race lol I would guess ppl are confused with putting a 2 inch spacer to make your wheels look cool? In stead of buying the correct offset. an average street car doesn’t Usually have strong enough wheel hub, thus shortening its life. Two ways to look at it… Do it Right Or Do it Right Now I can’t wait to hear that motor start!! Giver Mike!!

Spacers can mess with factory handling characteristics, especially in fwd cars where understeer and turn radius are always HUGELY important to keep in mind

Glad you enjoy it!

Wheel spacers are dangerous, they put extra stress on wheel bearings and other junk.. "I could go on confusing them by saying M12 x 1.5. Cheers!" Really, because this is my day of confusion v = ∆s ∆t v = lim ∆t→0 ∆s = ds ∆t dt v = ∆s ∆t v = lim ∆t→0 ∆s = ds ∆t dt thread sizes seem a bit of a joke to me.

@@fredderf551 Wheel spacers don't put any more stress on a wheel bearing than a wheel with the same offset.

@@McGurble Lol you're funny "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

@@fredderf551 do you think a wheel that has the same offset such that the tire is in exactly the same place as one with a spacer magically doesn't impart the same leverage? I may be funny, but I'm also correct.

@@McGurble You can think what you want but doesn't make you right.

I'm workin' my way towards it!
