**The S13 Project: A Journey of Learning and Growth**

As I stood in front of my trusty S13, I couldn't help but think about how far I had come since starting this project. From learning from past mistakes to fine-tuning every detail, I was determined to make this car look and drive like a million bucks.

I began by examining the massive plates that would be holding everything together. "It's just now we might try to pull the mini in just to see how kind of lines up," I thought to myself. With a gentle touch, I pulled the mini plate straight in, admiring how it lined up perfectly with the mirror. The S13 was indeed a short car, but that didn't mean it couldn't look cool.

As I worked on the suspension, I realized that I needed to get creative. "Oh maybe that mixes it," I thought, as I tried to squeeze the mini plate into place. But no matter how hard I pushed, it just wouldn't fit quite right. It was then that I remembered my friend Brett's car, which had a similar setup. That's when I saw them - two super rare Nismo cigarette lighters for sale on eBay.

I couldn't believe my eyes. The person selling them even told me that they watched my videos and were fans of my content. "Super cool," I thought, as I made the purchase. One red one would be going straight into my car, while the other would be reserved for Nicole's S13.

But before I could start enjoying my new goodies, I had to tackle a more pressing issue - getting tires mounted. "I really need to get tires mounted but I hate like kind of getting stuck where I have tires with a little bit of tread left," I confided in myself. It was a dilemma that many enthusiasts face: how do you keep your tires from going flat, yet still use them before they completely lose their grip?

As I pondered this conundrum, I decided to take a break and focus on setting up my OBS studio software. "So I can feel myself being a mad drift King on a set of Corsa and then upload live game footage rather than filming the screen like a '70s dad who just got television," I joked with myself.

With OBS up and running, I began to test out some new settings and features. But as I worked on tweaking the car's engine limiter, boost levels, and suspension, something strange happened. My S13 started behaving erratically, almost like it was "teleporting" away from me!

"It feels like I'm driving on three wheels dude," I exclaimed in dismay. What was going on? Was it a software glitch or just my imagination running wild?

As I continued to work through the issues with my S13, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the experience. From learning to laugh at myself and trying again, to using technology to overcome obstacles - this project had taught me so much about perseverance, creativity, and community.

And speaking of which, I have some exciting news to share: BC is coming! It's hard to contain my enthusiasm, as I've got a whole bunch of cool things planned for our next collaboration. But that's all I can say for now...

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engood morning guys uh I can't believe it's Friday already I don't know if it did for you but this week went by super fast for me I'm lucky enough that where I live I'm only 15 minutes away from the BC Racing headquarters and I'm actually headed there to have a meeting with Cody who is the head marketing guy for BC I want to become a vendor for bc4 lovers yes sir I want to sell my $500 I'm going to need that my cost at $50 and I won't take no for an answer no all right that was obviously a joke but uh I do want to become a vendor for BC coilovers and that's primarily what the meeting was about there's also a lot of other cool stuff we have planned but uh still in the works I will keep you guys in the loop but it's going to be a good year I found this song the other day and I really like it you should check it out we've been meeting going over a bunch of more shirt stuff part of the mandatory business meeting with James includes riding bikes bikes I have a new bike yeah it's fresh come look at my bike really hoping the leaf blowers charged or this is going to require so much manual labor no it's dead no brooms it is damn James it looks great doesn't it you join the Army or something y digging it it's different paint looks nice yeah he did a really good job James has been riding my bike the last couple couple times we've ridden just because his bike's been at paint a lot of people are asking that how's it feel dude it's great it's huge I got one with the tof ront in like your bike has cuz I like it so much it's not as good though cuz it's not stranger the tree has been dumping pollen so we're going to use it to our advantage the slickness of the ramp is going to make great for tire slippery tricks Tire slippy can you film me doing some Tire slippery tricks some slippage yeah you probably just fil there you want me to do a to you guys never seen me do one of those before James that other one you did like good I want to do a really wide oh boy oh boy did your bars just slip they just slipped you just clearly didn't watch my video on 100 tips and tricks I did did you stand in the bars I bet you didn't did not it's the fresh paint guys it's the fresh paint Prime example that Cas is real good too let me see that I was riding my ramp alone the other night and I came up with what I call the whirly bird special ready for this James I'm ready to see the whirly bird yeah a never seen this before dropping in baby hip baby hip oh man he really is a Wy bird oh wait there's more oh he's at it again oh my goodness the other way can he do it he finished it off with an extra 90 oh even the bars did a whirly bird wh bird challenge what tricks do I do big 180 from like that bank there over into the bank so kind of like a it's like a 270 yeah you only case there James no way that was so cool dang it why do you have to blow it I know come on see my bike anywhere see the great things about these videos is that James doesn't actually have to do it again with the 180 on the hip since you guys already saw that so he doesn't have anything to prove is what I'm trying to say catch oh my god dude you almost backed me up with the hip thing usually when we ride here there's not that much daylight left and it's more of just like a quick chill session than like before when we drive hours to go to a skate park we want to do possibly like every crazy trick that we can because it's far away um I've been wanting to ride like other places and like actually push myself more lately lately it's just there's been a lot of people in town and everyone always wants to tr the backyard ramp so uh I wind up riding it and like I'm not I'm not like Bor of the ramp by any means but I'm definitely ready to start riding some other stuff so uh next open day I just kind of have to go ride something never thought I'd hear you say those words what that you're ready to to try other things you want to move on no I just I don't want to ride it so much that I do get bored of it trying to make comparison like a girlfriend but I can't figure out how I was trying to word it yeah we're in the danger zone right now cuz they both watch these videos oh what cut that out James just looks so hip with this color scheme and cloth line dude I'm literally the hippest Mr FY over here has a little lady that he's got to get home to so he only gets three shots at this next trick I repeat that's 1 plus two that equals three you got three tries you're going to do a 270 tobogan on this hip right here if you don't land it the consequences are dire are you ready for this challenge what are the consequences they're dire gorgeous oh didn't spin at all beautiful just throw another trick in there all right heck yeah brother oh that was it if you don't land it there is going to be double dire double dire do you want a double die right now we need a paintball gun that's what we need comment below if you think our neighbors would love us shooting up paintball guns in my backyard next to their house I think we we get oxygen masks so you don't get paintball in your mouth CU I don't freaking die damn bye James so Nicole made this beautiful crock-pot dinner pot roast okay oh yeah isn't a Crockpot yeah okay but apparently we're not allowed to eat the leaves no why they're for flavor raindrop crockpot n in mini y pop pop I've been waiting to get more concrete anchors before I could finish the lift fix and they came in so I'm going to go put the second plate on and finish it up but I never showed you guys the first part of the lift fix so cue the old footage now where Alberto came over and helped me fix the lift if you saw our lift install video you probably know that I haven't been using it because we really didn't install it the right way and I've been waiting to get some help so I could do it the proper way Alberto Mr automotive expert who's installed many lifts is helping me redo it today I just rented a hammer drill from Home Depot got some extra anchors and some anchoring epoxy we're taking off the arms first to make it easier to move cuz what we're actually going to do we're not just going to put these plates in that will give it extra anchoring points in the concrete they kind of like sit over but but we're going to move the lift over a little bit this way so you can just pull straight in the garage so it'll be better and it'll be stronger with these extra lift points I think we just drilled the holes a little bit too big here and we should have used epoxy the concrete here is 4 in thick which is the minimum requirement to where we don't have to use the lift plates but we're just going to be more safe than sorry it's not fun to have a car fall on you watch this so the first step is going to be bashing down the old anchors that way we can slide the lift over and we are going to split the difference and move it to here that way we're not like too close to the old holes in the concrete we could leave it where it is and use bigger anchors but we're just going to play it safe and do new ones so loose because of the way that the anchors work we can just Hammer them right back down they only grab when they're pulled up we moved it a little bit this way now too so it's not an expansion crack learning from past mistakes and also use this to make sure that it is the same distance here that it is over there this is what it looks like with the massive plates it's just now we might try to pull the mini in just to see how kind of lines up so I pulled the mini Straight in yeah the mirror is kind of close to this but the great thing is the mini is such a short car that it doesn't need to be pulled in that much so we're good send it look at how F dude it looks so cool when you squeeze it oh maybe that mixes it maybe it's not mixed oh that is true that's what he thought that's so cool it's just falling down the hole let put it around the edges oh wait you got some in there now the concrete's thicker or something on this side and we're having a hard time getting these down which are going to interfere with the lift plate measure twice drill once guys I don't know if you can tell but it it's a little bit closer there than it is is here Matt would be very dissatisfied with me we're going to have to finish up tomorrow cuz we don't have a saw to cut those bolts that are sticking out over the concrete but I have to return that drill so we're just jimming it so we can drill the holes now and then come back tomorrow and just finish to be continued by the way stupid me forgot that I was winning an Alberto for a grinder I can't put the plates in with these bolts still sticking up so it's going to have to wait for another day high on my list of priorities right now is getting a compressor so I can get some good air tools in here there's a lot of like little stupid things that I'd be able to do instead of having to you know borrow tools or go other places to do if I had one I also made an offer and won two super rare Nismo cigarette lighters for the s13s uh it's something I saw in my friend Brett's car when I went and visited in Juku you guys might remember that super clean to 40 and I just thought it was a really cool thing that Nissan actually made these they don't do anything they're just made to look like kill switches and I found out the person that was selling them on eBay actually watches my videos which was super cool and he gave us like a pretty good deal on them so I'm hyped I'm going to put the red one in my car and the yellow one's going to be for Nicole's s13 all right look at this isn't it amazing I really need to get tires mounted but I hate like kind of getting stuck where I have tires with a little bit of tread left so I feel guilty mount new tires to them but at the same time I never use them because if I'm going to bring four tires to the track I'm going to bring four new tires since I can only fit four tires in the hatch of my car so I have free time now since I was supposed to be installing the last lift plate and I'm going to use it to download some software that you guys told me about called OBS open broadcast software or something uh so I can feel myself being a mad drift King on a set of Corsa and then upload live game footage rather than filming the screen like a '70s dad who just got television hey guys it's slap train here and I just figured out how to set up OBS so I'm going to record some gaming drift action for you guys a we are going through and changing all the settings around this car actually works pretty well I just boost up the engine limiter boost up the turbo and we should be straight right you know what sucks what do you do when you run out of tires and then like but it gets sharp oh right here jumping in can you tell that i' I've picked it up a little bit yes all right I'm going to train this guy let's get a cool car stuck what I just did the same thing I did last time except this time I just teleport away I feel like I'm driving on three wheels dude something's wrong H oh no that was that I hope that that game footage came out decently there's obviously a lot of ways that I can improve and I'm sure you guys know a whole bunch of them so let me know in the comments smash that like button if you're stoked on life I can't remember what's to be stoked about in this video oh yeah lots of cool stuff with BC coming but I can't tell you guys any of that have a great day uh really great videos coming really really soon and I always say that that but really really really cool stuff planned I promise later guys when you say that you love me that you when yougood morning guys uh I can't believe it's Friday already I don't know if it did for you but this week went by super fast for me I'm lucky enough that where I live I'm only 15 minutes away from the BC Racing headquarters and I'm actually headed there to have a meeting with Cody who is the
