Why All of Our Cars Are Broken

**My Favorite Cars at Donut**

As one of my favorite cars in our fleet, let's move on to some of my other favorites, okay? Here she is, yeah! This is Rosie, and I'm going to tell you about it.

The original low car, this is the first low car that we built on donut. It's gone through many iterations and now it's a 5.3-liter LS swap drift car with a big old intake coming out of the nose. It looks very ugly; it's thrown together, might look weird, but like underneath it's got good bones, it's got great bones. It just looks ugly, uh kind of like your mom.

Statistics-wise, we do have some mechanical electrical issues. The wiring harness that we chose to use didn't have a tail for the tachometer, so there's no there's no tachometer; you don't know the RPMs; you just kind of press the gas until it hits the limiter. There is pretty fun.

Also, in the center console, we don't have like a shifter boot around the shifter for whatever reason. I tried like four different ways of putting the boot on, no luck, no luck. Now, do you get tire smoke up through there? Yeah! It's smoke, dirt, a bunch of heat comes through there. It's probably the car at donut that I think is closest to like hot rod in nature, you know? You fire it up, the car kind of rattles, it reminds me of like the cars I grew up around fmoso drag strip, you know? Like just chugging along; they've kind of been thrown together but they run and they run like it's just awesome.

And you know out of all the cars here if there was a fire and I can only save one, I think it would be this one. It's parked right on your heart, huh? It really is! Yeah!

Well, let's go look at the one that's parked on my heart. This is foreign; this is my favorite car at donut.

This is High Z, the original High car, and this car is so cool! It's got so much cool stuff in it, namely this CT525 Chevy engine is a crate engine makes like 533 horsepower, and it's sick!

Does it run? Yes, but not perfectly. First off, this is a crate engine from Chevy, and it came with an ECU that we're gonna use, and that ECU was not user-friendly with the wiring harness that we had. So we had to get a different ECU.

Then we took that to the dyno, and they couldn't make communication with the crankshaft position sensor, which is something that has plagued us on this car with the old engine pretty critical sensor. And then there's one other minor thing I don't know if you remember but our handbrake was extremely lazy; took a lot of effort to get it to lock up both your hands, yeah!

So that's really not what you're after, and then once those minor things are done, the car is in Tip-Top shape and ready to hit the track. Wait, isn't there an issue with your transmission? Oh yeah! I did forget about that.

You've got a point; our transmission was mysteriously leaking more transmission fluid than you would want it to. Well, it was a brand-new transmission; you don't want that to leak at all, yeah!

You don't want any transmission to leak ever! Exactly, ah I agree, uh! So we got to figure that out.

Well, Nolan, if we've learned anything today is that cars are truly pain! Yes, they are! You know the nature of what we do is that we build these cars and then we move on to the next fresh content coming yeah!

So you know a new car comes in that means we kind of ignore the problems of the old car and then we stack up a bunch of problem cars like we just showed. But looking at these, I'm now motivated because I want to have fun with them, that's the reason we built these.

It looks like we got to get our Knuckles a little greasy and fix some stuff! So why don't you guys let us know what you want to see us fix first in the comments, and maybe we'll do it?

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ena portion of this video is sponsored by doordash we build a lot of cars around here and they're all broken oh that's an accident it was an accident sometimes working on cars means things don't go to plan there are all kinds of unexpected problems and it's easy to get overwhelmed are you kidding me today we're going to look at everything wrong with our cars explain why they're broken and what it'll take to fix them and hopefully inspire you to not worry if you run into similar hurdles yourself so let's see how messed up our cars are let's start with the good old Miata as you may remember we built this car to be a fun car that you could take to the track but still drive daily and for the most part this thing is in good shape and it runs pretty well but there are a few little issues that still continue to plague it first one of the most annoying ongoing issues is with the gauge cluster we replaced the analog gauges with a screen to have a digital dash which in theory is pretty cool but the thing just has never worked very smoothly and currently it doesn't do anything fixed it a few times but it always seems to just kind of revert to not working which is very annoying especially when you just want to know how fast you're going or how much gas you have I am tempted to just try to put these stock gauges back in to be totally honest with you the next problem that this thing has is also computer related but a different computer it's the ECU you may remember that we place the factory ECU with a mega square unit that gave us total control over the engine and let us turbocharge the thing and make the power that we're making honestly it's a great bit of Kit and I love it but there is one issue that we're having with it and that's it's just sort of in drivability like when you're on the highway and you just need to tip into the throttle a little bit to keep up speed it has a hard time understanding what to do when you crack the throttle so it bucks a little bit under those conditions the mega squirt controls a little bit differently than most ecu's and we just really haven't found a Dyno tuner that understands it well enough to be able to make it drive super smoothly the last thing that's wrong with the Miata is pretty simple the driver's door speaker is cut out so there's probably just a loose wire in there somewhere we did replace them at some point so you know maybe I didn't connect something quite well enough and it came loose so just got to get in there and probably reconnect it so the Miata clearly has some annoying issues but at the end of the day it's nothing that can't be fixed and it's nothing compared to some of our other project cars now let's go look at another sore spot for me my last 14. thank you to doordash for sponsoring this portion of the video now a lot of you watching already know Jimmy so to help Jimmy make some extra cash for his new project I decided to sign him up for doordash Jimmy are you ready to make some deliveries yeah but I have just one request when you become a Dasher you become Your Own Boss No uniform no shift schedule you get to choose the days and hours you want to work even the deliveries you want to accept hey and with perks like cash back on gas and the ability to cash out instantly it's a great way to put extra money in your pocket for that project car sitting in your garage so what are you waiting for put some extra cash in your pocket today and click the link below or download the doordash Dasher app today to sign up thanks to doordash for sponsoring that portion of this video okay and here we've got my S14 you may remember that's been on the channel a few times I had an rb25 in it which spun a bearing we did a video taking that apart and figuring out what was wrong with it it's kind of just been sitting ever since so there's really two main issues here this pile of spaghetti that I have in the driver's foot well I started moving the fuse box that's under the hood to the trunk just to clear up some space under the hood and to get these wires out of the channel that they took to get to the engine bay got about halfway through it you know just have a pile of wires now I just gotta pick up where I left off and finish putting the fuse box into the trunk but then we've got one other main issue and that is at the front of the car we ain't got no engine or really anything so uh where there once was an rb25 there now is nothing so something needs to go in there I do have a pretty fresh rb25 sitting in that garage over there waiting ready to go in here so I think in terms of how long it would take me to fix this yeah this would be a little bit more time consuming than most things probably a few weeks up next high and low WRX and Nolan what's going on man what's up oh you know just hanging out outside like you do like I do nice what's wrong with low car there's a couple things actually new tires we shredded the absolute crap out of this stino Greg tires that were on here that'll happen they were mounted on our XXR wheels that were the wrong offset so we had some issues with that we're gonna get some new tires and I think it's time to replace the max heating Rod coilovers that were on here 300 I'm pretty sure one of them's blown out pretty good also my back was almost like destroyed from driving these things over like a thousand miles in a couple days on such stiff suspension so I would like something with a little bit more compliance but dude once we get that stuff done I'm I really want to take this thing out I want to make it a point this year to go to track days around SoCal like button Willow like streets again because I love driving this thing it's just awesome we got to replace that Wing then huh oh that's right the wing also uh disappeared I came to work one day the wing was gone and I just accepted it um so yeah maybe honestly not too hard to accept though did you ever love that thing no so I think it's time to also get a new Wing that's not too bad I mean it sounds like for the most part it's not broken it's not broken but as you may recall we did have some hiccups with the filming of Hilo hey we got sparkly oil again so what would you say to the people that say that we just don't know what we're doing with Subarus and that we didn't do any of the preventative stuff to stop all of our seven engines from melting you're right yeah so people did say that part of the reason that we blew these engines up is because they've got some known issues right these cars need baffled Oil pans if we're going to do track days yeah guess what we had the baffled Oil pans from the beginning so we had that base covered also overheating wow it's hot out you get you guys should upgrade the cooling systems we did we put in some bigger radiators to increase the cooling capacity we did our due diligence sometimes we just don't cover that stuff because it's kind of boring boring or not really pertinent to the topic of the video itself so that's why we didn't mention those modifications honestly if I could pin point one thing I think when we were doing the lateral grip test the big 200 foot circle big circle uh we also filmed an ad while we were doing that so we were doing those huge lateral grip circles for a lot of time and that is a lot of oil slosh even for a baffled Oil pan we also did it repeatedly we did several times so I think that if any single thing was the the most problematic for our engines all right Joe I've talked about low carb what about High car I mean as you may recall we blew third gear at Sonoma it's gone are you kidding me got it replaced that day and it's been fine ever since that's not to say that we're not gonna blow another third gear in the future we're still making the same amount of power through the same but a different transmission uh so it may happen again we might want to beef that up a little bit but the only real thing I have to complain about is the bumper fitment which just bothers me but there's not a whole lot I can do about it this bumper is just whooped but car runs great and uh feels great when you drive it now Nolan you may recall that these aren't the only two Subaru wrx's that we had from our most recent high low yeah there's also first High car worst High car cursed High car so this was the first iteration of High car from this last high low uh we replaced an engine in this we did a bunch of mods to this car before James said it off track at Willow Springs and we also use this car as the parts bin for the rest of high low that's right so any time that we broke something on either car it was like oh man now we got to order oh wait a minute there's a whole other car in the parking lot I'll just go pull it off that so it's also missing all sorts of little odds weird weird stuff so it you know honestly would probably just be better off scrapping it or selling it cheap but you turn into wall art you know all right job what's next trucks hey hey all right these are our high low Tacomas same thing as the wrx's we built them to be affordable overlanders that you could daily drive this is low truck here built with cheap parts and that's high truck with very expensive Parts like the bumper that you're sitting on yeah yeah this bumper was super expensive it's also super heavy yes we added a lot of Steel to the truck which ultimately made it very heavy for what was already a pretty slow truck this thing just needs to shed some weight I think I might change the front and rear bumpers for something a little bit lighter and maybe slim down the bed rack situation a little bit just give this thing a little more light on its feet you know if I could change anything about myself I would also be shedding my front bumper only ever that easy if you could change anything to low truck what would you do I would add an LED light in a very critical place when we wired up the locking differential on this truck in the rear we used an Aftermarket Wiring Harness it does have a light on the switch to tell you when it's engaged or on but we kind of rushed through the wiring kind of a common theme Here and we never wired up the lights so it's hard to tell when the locking differential is engaged we're on trail at some point and I think you locked it to get through something and it locked it's hard to tell and well it's off it's locked Nolan I'm telling you oh my God but then you left it on probably because you didn't have a light to tell you that it was on or something yeah uh that's a big problem that was not a fast job yeah I wonder if it's uh easily fixable I honestly don't think so I think uh burnt out yeah that's very likely the radios and multi-structs are broken which I guess is a pretty common issue in this generation of Tacoma but otherwise you could take these things out this weekend no problem yeah absolutely I mean these lived up to uh their reliability reputation for sure and I'd say these trucks took me to some of the most beautiful places of this country I've ever seen yeah foreign car we built this to be a fun rally car this thing was pretty tall for off-road duties but since then we've kind of done a little bit of repurposing we lowered the car and welded the rear diff and we've been drifting it around a little bit as far as what's wrong with this car you can see the window is a little bit off track that'll happen tried to teach some of my co-workers how to do donuts and how to do some sliding around last time we're at Apple Valley and uh oh Justin got a little overzealous I forget what he hit I think it was just a cone but it hit it pretty good so that's broken after fixing a blown coolant hose and replacing all the coolant we overheated a little bit which tells me that there's probably still some air in the system so that just needs to be bled but otherwise this car has put up with some abuse and uh keeps taking it I love this thing up next we've got the Cabrio this is basically just a test mule that we do all sorts of stupid stuff too I feel like since we messed with it so much I'm like a little less sure that I'll be relaxed yeah it has this hose coming out of it like that it does yeah it's got a lot of haphazardly installed items yeah a lot of uh quick tests I don't feel safe to drive it right yeah I don't blame you yeah one of my favorite cars in our Fleet let's move on to some of my faves okay here she is yep Rosie Dude tell me about it the original low car this is the first low car that we built on donut

transmission you don't want that to leak at all yeah you don't want any transmission to leak ever yes exactly ah I agree uh so we got to figure that out uh maybe we hit a seal while we're installing the drive shaft or something but that was strange and I totally forgot about it until so cool add that to the list welcome thanks well Nolan if we've learned anything today so cars are truly pain yes they are you know the nature of what we do is that we build these cars and then we move on to the next fresh content coming yeah so you know a new car comes in that means we kind of ignore the

thing I don't know if you remember but our handbrake was extremely lazy took a lot of effort to get it to lock up both your hands yeah so that's really not what you're after and then once those minor things are done the car is in Tip-Top shape and ready to hit the track wait isn't there an issue with your transmission is there oh yeah I did forget about that you've got a point our transmission was mysteriously leaking more transmission fluid than you would want it to well it was a brand new transmission you don't want that to leak at all yeah you don't want any transmission to leak ever yes exactly ah I agree uh so we got to figure that out uh maybe we hit a seal while we're installing the drive shaft or something but that was strange and I totally forgot about it until so cool add that to the list welcome thanks well Nolan if we've learned anything today so cars are truly pain yes they are you know the nature of what we do is that we build these cars and then we move on to the next fresh content coming yeah so you know a new car comes in that means we kind of ignore the problems of the old car and then we stack up a bunch of problem cars like we just showed but looking at these I'm now I'm like motivated because I want to have fun with them that's the reason we built these so it looks like we got to get our Knuckles a little greasy and fix some stuff so why don't you guys let us know what you want to see us fix first in the comments and maybe we'll do it so thanks for watching this video and everything else on donut make sure you like the video and subscribe to the
