"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso we're going to go take the Geo to the scales and Killian's going to drive cuz he wants to know what real power is what do you think it's going to weigh I'd say like 1450 that's about what my guess is too hardly any road noise it's really quiet in here I can almost hear myself thing yeah and it's nice cuz it's got its own air conditioning through this hole straight to the road you can see if there's any oil or coolant links you can see your axles doing also yeah I don't know why all new cars don't have this feature Hayden's got a comfortable seat back there it's actually comparable to the Rolls-Royce back seat yeah it's actually not too bad what it's not too bad only some slight squeaks and uh you know Breeze sound it only moves every time there's any wind at all yeah we got the the headliner out it's actually really more uh Ruby i r yeah here's the throttle cable right here so mad oh it's working right now when we do the on-ramp we'll do it the tack doesn't really work anymore it's okay you know when your em at you got to sacrifice some some lesser important things for the more important things your car's really Dusty a little bit so it actually doesn't even use gas anymore no hybrid car is off as you can see it's off also I than got an extra back there's also some uh custom air conditioner ports that's the road there one right here where your hand gets on before I touch the road yeah it's really Breezy right here walked we're on the scale both of us yeah it's eight huh to watch the side get out though 1820 with both of us oh lb 1480 it weighs like around now it's just under 1500 lb with a full tank of gas which is exactly what I was looking for didn't want it to be lighter huh isn't that base weight the base weight is 1650 so that's almost 200 lb we can still cut out a lot of stuff yeah like all these yeah like all the door stuff all the stuff back there so it's just outside body panels get rid of this helpless person in the back it's a lot of weight so this thing practically weighs 1,000 lbs less than my wagon did ready hold on yep he's way taller than me like makes up hard to lift back hurts from fly high true yeah so after the swap if I can keep it under 1,600 that'd be perfect primed Prime premium premium high quality thank God that motor got rained on with no spark plugs in it no spark plugs so stupid it's all right it's a Honda it'll be fine yeah that fly wheel's a little rusty it'll buff out so if you guys saw that I had this uh KX 250 in my shed but I'm getting rid of her today putting her on Craigslist need some money for a race car parts and I never really ride this anyway so figured I'd get rid of it so in case any of you guys are wondering we're looking for a 07 in case any of you guys are looking for a 2007 kx250f let us know cuz I have one for sale I'm trying to get like 2200 bucks for it but it's a clean bike I just never used it so give her one more rip down the street I'll be the last time I ever R it there goes the boosted hat gone forever I gets it two person wheelie on it someone's going to run it over too fast for hat hat you want to ride on it again huh I'm down let take my hat off give it one final layover before it's gone I want but to nut detective marinara dead battery boy you tripping sh you tripping hey you don't have any compression yeah there's literally we should get this checked out his foot it's so great good oh D oh all right here's attempt number two oh it was charged the whole time what happened starter wire of it yeah the starter wire fell off no it's been off for a while a long time I love big black things oil fitment damn fitment gang boy tucked all right good hundo you can hear what you can hear it yeah you can hear it noise T I honestly wonder if you dropped the valve a valve yeah have you taken the valve cover off no well not since the noise that they're going they're going to be low cuz it's cold cuz you have low compression Pistons well no that's pretty low but that's just cuz it's cold the hard cold isn't that bad it's cold it's going to have way lower compression it's cold dude ow my chest does it not make sense to you it does cuz metal expands when it's hot yeah dude you s are far it sounded like whatever when the Piston's coming up is smacking something yeah sh yeah boy you might have dropped the valve well I think it might be because the spark plugs went out another one so it's cranking easier now so they might all be one ret try the first one after that last one yeah I thought you had all the plugs out you told me you had all the plugs out I never that dude I when you first started I was like you got all the plugs out you're like yep all right go all right you're good yeah let's all like one 130 except for the first one well yeah we'll redo it I bet it's 130 go good now we're good is it good yeah so they're 130 take cover I see what the hell yeah all right now you can stop filing stupid I have to edit all that oh got to clear space for this this sick ass everyone step back just fell off so we're heading to a meet in the Geo K's driving again Kyle brought his MR2 David's in his Camaro and Hayden's somewhere back there in his CRV going smoke this guy off the line 4 run lined up with aen CRV oh barely beats it just that top end it's like we're going to line up with an EVO probably going to get our walked turbo geo versus an EVO oh got the launch that reaction time I think I think Kyle and this Evo are trying to line up D Street Racers this mustang stock chall twin carbonated make the blowoff go off wo ohso we're going to go take the Geo to the scales and Killian's going to drive cuz he wants to know what real power is what do you think it's going to weigh I'd say like
