**Challenges and Triumphs in Car Modification**
As I stepped into my workshop, I was greeted with the familiar sight of tools and equipment waiting to be put to use. However, this time around, I had an added layer of complexity to contend with - the height of my car being lower than usual made certain adjustments more challenging. But I'm no stranger to working on cars, and I've learned to adapt.
One of the key challenges we faced was the rear adjustable arms, which we couldn't quite get to work using traditional tow arms. Undeterred, I decided to substitute them with adjustable traction arms and adjustable camber arms, a clever solution that would allow us to achieve our desired level of precision. While I didn't bother filming this particular part, it's clear that these adjustments were crucial in getting the car set up for optimal performance.
**The Front of the Car**
Meanwhile, my team had been working on the front of the car, tackling the task of installing a Wise Fab diffuser. This involved some careful measurement and cutting to ensure a precise fit, but the end result was well worth it. As one team member quipped, "It's insane - get install it good traveling!" The attention to detail is evident in this installation, which has clearly been done with care.
We also encountered an unexpected challenge when we discovered that the subframe needed to be cut to accommodate the new design. This was a significant modification, but one that ultimately allowed us to achieve our goals. It's a testament to the importance of careful planning and execution when it comes to car modifications.
**Ackerman Angle and Camber**
One area where we had some creative freedom was in the Ackerman angle, which refers to the degree of toe-out on each wheel. Most cars run with positive Ackerman, but I opted for zero Ackerman, allowing both wheels to have the same amount of angle. This results in a smoother, more natural driving experience - think along the lines of a drift car, where the wheels don't self-steer in and out.
The radius of a circle plays a significant role here, with the outer wheel needing to go further out than the inner wheel when cornering. By adjusting this eccentric bolt, I was able to achieve the desired level of toe-out without relying on adjustable arms or coilovers. It's a clever solution that pays off in the end.
**Upgrades and Improvements**
Now that we have the car set up, it's time to focus on upgrades and improvements. We're planning to remove the stock y-pipe and install an aftermarket dual exhaust system - one that's quieter but still packs a punch. I'm also excited to test out a single-tip muffler, which should add some much-needed character to the car.
As we work through the night, I notice that the subframe damper looks like it might be designed for other cars altogether. It's not a major issue, but it does raise an interesting question about compatibility and fitment. We'll have to wait and see how this plays out when we get back to work tomorrow.
**Conclusion**
All in all, it's been a fun and challenging project so far - one that requires patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to think outside the box. As I climb down from my perch atop the car, I'm left feeling stoked about the progress we've made and excited for what tomorrow will bring. The car is taking shape, and it's starting to feel like we're getting close to something truly special.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right so we got a little last-minute trip going on rection in Texas right now just starting off the day at Starbucks like normal yeah I got you drink and look who's here - doing this generally first-time 2018 we're gonna be doing super things in Texas today super things now we got we got some really cool stuff planned that you guys will see very shortly Trevor you gotta give them the rundown on our uber right now yeah so we got like the the most badass uber you can get we get this beast 2017 f250 it's called uber Texas black so here in Texas it's actually much cooler to have an f250 than it would be to like show up in a limo or something like that so so we're actually cruising in a sweet brand-new f250 right now it is our friend Shawn's Shawn's kind of hanging out we're crashing at his place he's driving us around you'll say what's up Shawn hey what's going on guys he's got a really cool yeah he's got a really cool car I'll show you guys later today a lot of parking lots to drift in in Texas huh so the main reason why we are in Texas is to visit one of my all-time favorite people in the drifting world Aaron Lucy hello how are you all right so Aaron you kind of need to give us a rundown because we've got a car right here okay this is I always have to back up in the story I'll try and be fast I buy a lot of drift cars whenever I see a crazy deal everybody knows I always buy stuff for cash cheap so when somebody needs money for something or desperate to get rid of something I end up with a lot of cars I've had over a hundred cars and probably over like 60 or 70 drift cars so this is one of them this is an yzma 370z I didn't even know as an ismo car or they were worth anything when I got it somebody hit a pole and they're like Aaron I need this car gone right now for cash like has to be today kind of thing and I offered him try tell him how much yes absolutely okay I have won his most 370z and how good of condition is this thing it's it's very very nice I'll do like a very quick brief walk around this car is probably the coolest drift car a year 40,000 miles look at the interior 40,000 miles I mean you could tell the airbag went off but yeah other that's clean so I got this car for $5,000 $5,000 it has a title it didn't even end up being salvage title so no one even registered it a salvage or anything so it's a clean title the only thing that happened was is it got smashed right here we pulled it out with my truck I got a new Bosch bar for like 70 bucks shipped is there anything that affects like the suspension components are just no Fronteras didn't even hit the alignment didn't hit anything didn't hit a pulley didn't kill anything it just whacked the radiator a little bit and it all the impact was taken by this bar and the ends of the frame rails so with the old bar still in there maybe I'll have the footage I'll send it to you we just hooked up a strap to the old bar pulled it from the exact direction that I got hit so it pulled all the damage out and then I got a new the core support in these is plastic I got a new core support for 150 bucks a new radiator for like a hundred bucks online it comes with the air conditioning in it so I recharge that a new hood a new hood so it's about a thousand dollars in parts to fix it obviously the bumper still looks pretty bad but the hood now looks really nice the car looks really good it didn't touch the headlights didn't touch the fenders the reason why the person stole is so cheap I think you said that they were quoting like 15 grand to fix it yeah the body shop wanted to pull the engine and do all kinds of crazy stuff I think they were just making his expensive on pot as possible on purpose so he could total it so you get something else long story short I got the car really cheap I let it sit around for a while this was gonna be by 2018 car and I was gonna just like sneak this in past the Mustang and I was gonna start driving this instead what I've been trying to do is do a lot of really new chassis to kind of push the sport and a way of like new cheap chassis because this is cheaper than a 240 with like a garbage SR v8 swap this is half the price of a shitty LS one swap 240 so long story short about a 370z a 335 I newer Mustang a Corvette and I got rid of the 335i because I didn't really like it that much mostly because the color combo was gross and I thought this was a lot cooler so this year the YouTube guys are gonna come here because I like them and I want to do cool stuff with them and want to grow the channel or do whatever and we're gonna use this 370z Adam and Trevor and Taylor can fly in and drive this whenever they want because we want them to be around but we don't need them to bring cars all the way across the country and this is cheaper than transporting something - is that as much as the story you want more yeah I mean I can kind of take it from here and explain like cool yeah Thank You orange okay yeah bye what are you gonna do are you gonna work on the Corvette no I'm working on something for videos for the lone Starr drift channel stuff like the YouTube account and these guys are gonna make oh real quickly we're about to go put this car together go to Harris Hilda test and we're also going to test the Corvette so we've brought to you guys over from Tennessee this is Marco and Nick is inside and they brought modified knuckles for the Corvette so hopefully it's gonna be around 50 degrees of angle I think it's gonna be like 45 50 somewhere in that range probably 353 maybe and we're gonna go test both of these cars so the Corvette is kind of the cheater car it makes like you know almost 500 wheel it's a lot more aggressive than this but this actually the Corvette sounds like an ls1 like this thing sounds more like a Gran Turismo like video game car oh this rev limiters at 8200 which is rad and this car makes like 320 wheel which is rad it's already got some bolt ons do you know specifically what has I know it looks like it has an exhaust exhaust and it has the Nismo whatever it makes it 350 crank and then with an exhaust and a tune from Martin from enthalpy RS it makes probably like what 285 to 290 stock and maybe 30 more than that now with those parts so it makes about 300 wheels in the 320 wheel and we just picked up there's boxes here somewhere and that's me and Trevor's job is to install all the stuff and all the crazy parts that we have here we got a bunch of is our stuff and I picked up control arms but we have exhaust so we have like a new exhaust to put on it and they're gonna send headers at some points I think but I don't know if we're gonna do headers because it kind of gets to be they're really loud BQ noise so it might make another ten wheel horsepower but it really doesn't matter cause probably won't pick up any torque so it's not usable so anyways there you go yep so before we have access to the lift one of the first things that we were trying to sort out is getting the actual hood to mount up but because all the latches are bent and the cable is kind of messed up and broken we're probably just ended up doing some like arrow catch pins or something just to save some time what'd you think about that Trevor we should just go to something you like some old I mean that'd be super easy and because then we just drill a hole instead if I don't like cut them nicely exactly I'm down it I might actually pretty cool this thing's so cool so yeah basically the plan is meet Reverend Taylor will probably like fly in at the same time or at different times this year and get to drive Lone Star funds in this sick car that Aaron so kindly is helping us set up he's got a ton of sponsors onboard that are providing parts and stuff for the car so we're gonna try to build this car in two days and go test it it's like two o'clock yeah I honestly don't know exactly what aaron has for this car right now but I'm just looking at the boxes it looks like we've got some BC coil overs got a full wise fab kit for it this is probably an is our exhaust yeah the sweet new cream color way out now link below probably some sort of AEM intake some Enki wheels what's this oh that's the exhaust well it's a white pipe fancy sick so it should be a lot of fun probably one of my favorite people in the world to work on cars with is Trevor so we just get to work on the Z have some fun and hopefully go test it out drive it oh yeah use it for the yeah that backpack is gonna be black by then in this weekend looks like some nice plastic pipes some nice filters this looks like some sort of heat shield of sorts bang says it's gonna gain about 15 foot-pounds of torque it's not bad huh yeah we don't care about the horsepower you just want the torque I don't know how noticeable it will be but I'm gonna get a quick baseline sound of what it sounds like with stock intakes and then maybe you guys will be able to hear a difference with you aftermarket ones singsong sick let me get an exhaust quit right if we're putting test pipes on this thing it's gonna wake it up I really made the mistake of not bringing my Electric ratchet so everything's gonna take 10 times longer Trevor was smart he brought his he's got the new fancy one jealous so much faster than mine it's a lot bigger though yeah I'm definitely still a place in my heart for the other one yeah it's a good wrench satisfying taking all this stock crap out what are we doing this we throwing it out like the most common thing in the world people arguing over intakes because oh it's just a hot air intake you're not gonna actually gain any power well the cool thing is these come with heat shields so this will basically kind of do a similar thing with the stock airbox wood making sure that all the hot air doesn't get on the intake while having a more free-flowing cone filter the intakes that I probably shouldn't have taken as long as it did but me never about the type of people that don't like to read instructions we have to keep on like redoing stuff we eventually read instructions but anyway looks pretty cool I think we're about to actually go take it out for a test drive and just kind of see how it feels before we start ripping out the suspension and doing the wise fab on it we're gonna lay start it's like 3:20 which I was just making a joke asking where the backup cameras and then we've found a backup camera in the - you just have to we just have to plug it in that's gonna be so convenient when you're like harnessed in and you don't have to like make sure people are behind you we should put those in our drift cars oh my Mustang Ernie has one give her a good old one - Trevor since fast wish we were working on this instead looks like the 3d printing a like a gauge to tell how much angle the car has so we were going to do a true coilover conversion like I literally just did on the giveaway Z however there was a bit of confusion when it came to the spring size so if you look at this right now these Springs are a bit too short for the proper preload we are almost at the very top of the shock when the issue is with this setup obviously when the car is on the ground that's going to compress a little bit and then we're going to be actually bottoming out the spring it's going to be hitting itself and that's not very good so we need a spring it's probably about 15 millimeters longer maybe about down here to get it proper so sad so just gonna do the stock spring bucket setup for now and hopefully we'll be able to get a decent alignment Adam what are you doing is this a hole that you already drilled I'm up here in the front just getting ready to mess with this wise fab a little bit yeah I'm probably gonna remove this strut upper strut tower because all them bolts are kind of down in there to remove this strut on the top so you can install the front coil over and then basically pull off this whole front knuckle lower control arm system to install this wise fab kit so I've never messed with anything like this and I think they have instructions but it's pretty dark in here and like the tools obviously I don't want them used to using so it's been a little bit more of a challenge than normal especially given that the height of the car is a little lower but I'm used to just because they're working on the front of the car right now but what I've essentially gotten done is all the rear adjustable arms we weren't able to do tow arms back here so I put in actually adjustable traction arms and adjustable camber arms down there which I've already done so I didn't really bother filming and then up here they've all been working on doing wise fab for the front and Trevor some homers lock we got I'm super jealous that's insane get install it good traveling I'm really I'm jealous that I don't have this on my car he's crazy look at that look at that angle that's like like we're gonna have to cut this whole front of the bumper off so that it does that I should have filmed it before and then well this side the other side is a stock it's a hard set stock over there we had to cut the subframe though it weighed the clearance the subframe right there cuz this tie rod it wouldn't go all the way and that was limiting us it's crazy you have it unlike the least aggressive ackerman it's like the 6 degree to be super super basic about it there's different degrees of akram and there's positive AK from a negative acraman zero ackerman zero would be like the wheels are parallel out lock this is a rear rack it's doing setup so that's zero acraman where both wheels have the same amount of angle what most people are used to running is positive Ackerman so basically when you're at angle there's like a little bit of toe out and the wheel that's dragon kind of helps itself steer where if you're parallel the car doesn't really self steer at all kind of like how my GZ x100 drove for a while this is faster and drift but this will feel more like what we're used to yeah it feels a little bit more natural to you yeah like they have that built into cars is you gotta think of like the radius of a circle it's like smaller right here versus over here it's bigger so you want that outer wheel to go a little bit further out so when you like drive around a corner and the wheels aren't doing random things look sense because you don't have the adjustable arm or the two coil overs the way that we have to adjust this is with this eccentric bolt do it just kind of turn this guy in it the position of the washer and thus moves the wheel this cars is somewhat decent exhausted up looks like stock y-pipe still has cats and it's got an aftermarket dual exhaust but it's a little bit quiet so we're gonna pull that out and we're gonna put in a nice ry pipe and a nice our single I'm totally recording it's actually not that late compared to how we normally work you know it's about 10:30 not like oh yeah what cruising hold on the ground and we got the single tip Schulman in the air knowing I'd say be cool the bumper Tech with this diffusers sweet over here that'd be funny we could put a ghost tip like just hang a muffler there yeah what is that I don't know it's not weird but I noticed there's like a subframe damper or something weird it's weird just like nobody I'm worried about hitting my head on the ceiling but we got high ceilings here yeah you climbed all the way up there for that good back Oh Oh Oh Elaine but it's definitely a little louder test flights identities that part yeah it's not too bad kind of lucked out just testing the fitment real quick of the adjustments everything I mean that's as low as it can go I don't know if the other end keys are the same size or what the deal with those would be but yeah alignment actually doesn't look too bad either I was worried that we would be able to get rid of all the toe does it I think the toes off to the thing is I guess oh yeah it's good it's got a bit of negative camera but the cool thing is I think if I'm not mistaken when I shorten the camber arm it'll pull out the camber and get rid of the toe out that I have I think we're gonna wrap up the night here and come back tomorrow to finish it up we actually got a stop by summit summits local I guess it's Baron juku but summits way bigger than in juku right okay that should be cool so we're gonna stop there pick up some more parts probably finish this tomorrow it's so much angle a lot of cool random stuff chilling in the shop definitely a fun little project stoked about this thingall right so we got a little last-minute trip going on rection in Texas right now just starting off the day at Starbucks like normal yeah I got you drink and look who's here - doing this generally first-time 2018 we're gonna be doing super things in Texas today super things now we got we got some really cool stuff

kind of like how my GZ x100 drove for a while this is faster and drift but this will feel more like what we're used to yeah it feels a little bit more natural to you yeah like they have that built into cars is you gotta think of like the radius of a circle it's like smaller right here versus over here it's bigger so you want that outer wheel to go a little bit further out so when you like drive around a corner and the wheels aren't doing random things look sense because you don't have the adjustable arm or the two coil overs the way that we have to adjust this is with this eccentric bolt do it just kind of turn this guy in it the position of the washer and thus moves the wheel this cars is somewhat decent exhausted up looks like stock y-pipe still has cats and it's got an aftermarket dual exhaust but it's a little bit quiet so we're gonna pull that out and we're gonna put in a nice ry pipe and a nice our single I'm totally recording it's actually not that late compared to how we normally work you know it's about 10:30 not like oh yeah what cruising hold on the ground and we got the single tip Schulman in the air knowing I'd say be cool the bumper Tech with this diffusers sweet over here that'd be funny we could put a ghost tip like just hang a muffler there yeah what is that I don't know it's not weird but I noticed there's like a subframe damper or something weird it's weird just like nobody I'm worried about hitting my head on the ceiling but we got high ceilings here yeah you climbed all the way up there for that good back Oh Oh Oh Elaine but it's definitely a little louder test flights identities that part yeah it's not too bad kind of lucked out just testing the fitment real quick of the adjustments everything I mean that's as low as it can go I don't know if the other end keys are the same size or what the deal with those would be but yeah alignment actually doesn't look too bad either I was worried that we would be able to get rid of all the toe does it I think the toes off to the thing is I guess oh yeah it's good it's got a bit of negative camera but the cool thing is I think if I'm not mistaken when I shorten the camber arm it'll pull out the camber and get rid of the toe out that I have I think we're gonna wrap up the night here and come back tomorrow to finish it up we actually got a stop by summit summits local I guess it's Baron juku but summits way bigger than in juku right okay that should be cool so we're gonna stop there pick up some more parts probably finish this tomorrow it's so much angle a lot of cool random stuff chilling in the shop definitely a fun little project stoked about this thing\n"
