The struggles of car restoration continued as the team faced another setback with their Honda Civic. After dealing with various issues, including a blown axle and a faulty thermostat, they were relieved to discover that the bottom radiator line was cold, indicating a potential circulation problem. To resolve this issue, they decided to remove the thermostat and test the engine's performance. While it took longer for the car to heat up, the team was thrilled to learn that it wasn't overheating.

The next step was to take the Honda back to the hotel, where they would assess its condition further. The team had not driven the car down the road since the repairs, but after letting it warm up for 10-15 minutes, they were pleased to find that it didn't exceed 170°F. This marked a significant improvement over their previous issues, and the team was optimistic about the car's performance.

The restoration process was not without its challenges, as they had initially attempted to get to work early to iron out all the problems with each vehicle. However, a blizzard hit, and they were forced to delay their efforts. To make matters worse, one of the coal trucks developed major issues, including a faulty shifter that made it impossible to shift gears properly. The team was determined to fix the problem, and after some trial and error, they managed to repair the axle.

The team's experience with the Honda Civic reminded them of their struggles with another vehicle earlier in the restoration process. They had encountered similar issues with boost pressure, which required them to adjust the tune on the car. Unfortunately, this time around, the ECU refused to communicate with the laptop, causing them to lock out and shut down the system entirely. The team suspected a grounding issue and were working to identify the problem.

Despite these setbacks, the team remained committed to getting their cars ready for the track. They spent several days fine-tuning each vehicle, making adjustments and repairs as needed. Finally, they were confident that their Honda Civic was ready to go, with the axle repaired and the ECU issue resolved.

The team's plans for the upcoming track days had been put on hold due to the various challenges they had faced. However, now that they were back at the hotel, they could finally get some rest and prepare for the next day's activities. The team was excited to get up early and start working on their cars again, knowing that they would be able to iron out any remaining issues and make final preparations for the track.

As the team looked forward to their time in Florida, they were eager to put their skills to the test and push their cars to the limit. They had a full day ahead of them at the hotel, during which they could focus on fine-tuning each vehicle and making any necessary adjustments. With the ECU issue resolved, the Honda Civic was ready to take center stage, and the team was confident that it would perform well under pressure.

The team's rough track day experience had left a lasting impression, but they were determined not to let it deter them from their goals. They were willing to push through challenges and setbacks, knowing that each obstacle presented an opportunity for growth and improvement. With their cars in good condition and their spirits high, the team was ready to tackle whatever lay ahead and make the most of their time at the track.

As they prepared for another day of action on the track, the team couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. They had faced numerous challenges, but with each hurdle overcome, they were becoming more confident in their abilities. The prospect of fine-tuning their cars and making any necessary adjustments was exhilarating, and the team was eager to get started.

In the end, the team's perseverance and determination had paid off, as they had ironed out most of the issues with their cars and were ready to take on the next challenge. With their Honda Civic leading the way, they were poised for success, both on and off the track.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: encruisin in this bro look at this thing bro and all that there's speakers in it get it in real quickly lose the eyelid run and see how you look in there bro what you what you guys think look at him though daddy Brent you got plenty of room for honeys up like I can't hear you so we just got Honda over here at to mic shop he opened it up move some cars around so we could work on it I just bought the axle from Napa so we're gonna unload her change the actual real quick and then head back towards the hotel which is in st. Pete and probably put a tune in it so we'll get started on that there's why I brought Brent along so you could get in the trunk so I can get through the front I didn't think I'd be able to do it yesterday in the mirror yo so you've hidden through there Mike might fit through there four years ago I went over last night Oh Oh bro it's just a roll cage it'd be fine yeah it's just cuz the door can't get the door open oh there goes my bumper good thing is zip-tied best thing is nice - you got all the big boy cars you see it now and then wait how long do you think of even a few months and then it's gonna look way different gonna send you the favorite you got to McFarland tunings here at Aussie you don't ya Oh Dan that's what's going in there sick ones are three up two weeks 3:47 so clean I look sick you got the bikes in here too okay I got that Tuesday that's nice about you exactly I think it's pretty bad I'm hoping it's just that I think it is inside yeah for sure does definitely axle Oh looks like it's rubbing a little bit here too arrived shots oh goodness that this one yeah it's real close it looks like it's clear inching it so yeah that's pretty bad well I'm gonna take this one off put the other one in and hopefully everything else is good such a good friend like I've known this guy since high school so this in case you guys think that I just never met I think we're racing downhill bro I bet it was that's how we met bro racing on the streets a little baby Thor yeah yeah this thing's stuck in there I'll louver up hopefully not twisted only rusted oh Jesus we can't get it out so we have to pull this whole thing off and put it in the press yeah this would suck doing it at the track oh yeah there you go who's never go of course it has to be difficult just to change the axle net this is usually an easy job restaurant I've never had one stuck in there like that let's just twist it in there which was Jesus it doesn't want to come out that's just actually and just took it out that should be easy to come on of course yeah if we mess up the wheel bearing never never had this much pull out firmly that's the only instruction society that's what she said bro it's bending the whole beam dude is it safe to walk over look at that even though I never broke that's why it's great alright so Plan B couldn't get the axe well so we're gonna try to take it apart and see if we can't just put though the tripod or whatever reckon it is the broken part so we'll see what it yeah we'll see what it did that are little Axl shoots the damage Mike's just playing with his food now the launch light and his fine figure out the teen up but in mind it begins brother bull send I could not do that it's funny cuz like I didn't even know he was behind me so like I was gonna go pull about the line you know nice calm whatever soon as I saw his car pool next to him like whole different guy was in there dude like oh hell no because usually like I would have just took it to line not worried about the light but I already know what he's gonna do he's gonna try to launch off it was ready hey it's okay I want my rematch I want to say it right now I will be king cow that was a shakedown I will full set and then now we can't even get the axe while we're over here rebuilding axles and is that the old one yeah different spline he oh whoa look at this guy does he is that you got what's-his-name you about to feed it noonim dude he's out he's out dude well it looks like this isn't gonna work whole thing I mean we can make it work but it's not plug-and-play they gave you like the small 2.5 AK well we're gonna try to figure this out we might have to grind some stuff but I did call somebody and he might have a hub so hopefully he gives me a call back and says he does I'm just waiting on that I don't know it's not looking too great right now an easy job turned into it not so easy just that always happens for mechanics though it's like one bolt you know that's all it takes this turned into a mission this was supposed to be quick Kyle's at the hotel room editing videos were like we're just going to go change it we'll be right back right back he's like bro he's like he called you he's like bro I've been done for like a couple hours now sorry we'll be back 10 minutes so he couldn't get it off so what we're gonna do now is we are just gonna set it back up on the vise and then leave pressure on it overnight lube it up put some PB Blaster in there let that soak in and see if it doesn't doesn't just come out on its own but it's gonna leave it on overnight and then come back on it tomorrow and see what we can do find it on the floor flying it on the floor hopefully but if not we'll just we'll try to torch it and if it does mess up the wheel bearing we'll replace it but we just we're not having any luck with it right now so Oh got the jingling dude that's that East Coast yeah no Brad loves that Carter loser about the to Florida right bye for now hon drew sleep tight be back tomorrow oh now play that at 2 times feet all right who knew just to Jack all trades over here master fabricator master freestyle scooter rider the deal you can drive any of my stuff James anytime he was yeah that was scary and she's the most emotional of all yeah she's super temperamental three north some weird randomness all at once how was that is awesome Aaden voyage there she is one track day later and she's already broken already on the lift so I happened man I know you filmed everything but yeah I wasn't here for this we already took the part murder to the actual part basically the actual broke and then we tried to separate it this is the well we couldn't get it out you see like how hard we hit it goes in this little tip does mushroom oh yeah 20 pound press and it bent the i-beam over there too and we couldn't get it balanced on I ended up finding this at a tae tae used parts I got a bunch of parts and luckily they had one is the only one that because it's five by 100 so it's a lot harder because only the 2004 is coming with the 5 by 100 so luckily we got it I got a oleum axel - I bought one from Napa but I think I'm just going to turn that one and use the whole en because there I feel like they're gonna be stronger did you get that with the new hub yeah the same place yeah same place okay sweet so you're just gonna go ahead and replace the whole hub and axle since you can't get the other axle at Island yep so I'm just gonna replace the whole thing and get her in there and see what happened - coming up I think everything else is fine I put the new axle in there and spun it around and it didn't you know fight that's crazy that you guys couldn't get it out of that I don't know why it's wedged in there so crazy I'm thinking maybe the splines twisted so it like if it just barely twisted it's not gonna come straight yeah I'm thinking but we might as well take that one back with us too because when we can heat it up at the shop and get it I'm are done with that one we're just done we think right now right now we're gonna get it out in right here I filmed it in Spain - it was rubbing right here so Mike's looking at it right now we're either gonna cut this little section out or we're gonna grind it so it could have more clearance that's the only spot it's hitting on the driveshaft very you know we just don't want to keep cutting into it then it gets a little weak in it they're accustomed to piece driveshaft why do they make the brush like why don't they get longer said oh he reaches like there you go she ain't seasoned next time you snap it and there's gonna be a next time I know now that we built the motor we got to upgrade the drivetrain as long as well rather than actual break with anything else yeah just let's just upgrade everything but the axles so they're the first to go right I think it's gonna clear now doesn't work out the hammer fixes everything oh yeah way more clearance with a MTM for the wind hailer so when we took this off we took the brake cable does the emergency brake we took it off of the hub but this one came with it so I think it's gonna be easier we're just gonna undo it from the inside and then just run this cable in there run the one that came with the new hub so we don't have to take the shoes back out and all the planes and you got to get up there dude you're the only one that can get up there all right Oh Nicole difficulties honestly got any more she ready to go she's ready everything's back together got the hub and we along got the ebrake cable back in there got the driveshaft on there and we're gonna sit back here so it's not gonna rub anymore got the axle in and she's ready to go got hon drew all loaded up we just went ahead and pushed it on the trailer we're getting ready to head back to Cleese his shop and we also rotated the up pipes and so it would fit right where that hood scoop hole is so we didn't have to take the hood off but we're ready to head back and then we'll see if Brent can't mess with her tonight and then we also have a couple things to get done on the prelude little chunk missing there there there two chunks missing there chunks missing there the ends are all frayed right here and there both sides yeah in the red shade up here yeah so he just made it back to cletus's and we got hungry back over here and while I was busy helping Emilio Gahan drew knocked out Brett and Jamie and yo started on the prelude and we actually went ahead and changed the timing belt because I think I showed a little clip of it the old one was actually pretty chunked out it is right here and there was a really like rough spot on it you can see it very well on the camera but we were just a little worried that that guy might let go so we noticed that so we just went ahead and changed it to be safe since we have a couple extra days to get the cars ready to go and Brent thinks he may have possibly found the issue yeah thinking it's the Hat two solenoids yeah two booths Illinois's and one wasn't working so maybe that's it no census data like seven pounds that whole length and then ulsan it would ramp up because Jamie was told me one was wired into the pro logger and then once to the Hahn data and it was the front one so the second one's trying to pull through the other one there's a smile he has crease in and I looks like he has like eyeliner on so then did you go ahead and just rewire those yeah so we'll just have to bring it to the track and see if that fixes it and the great thing is we'll have a private test where we get his launch it and if it doesn't work we stop back it up do it again it's gonna be 90 awesome yeah I mean now it makes sense though because it was just kind of falling off it doesn't really like shutting the carp it was just like boost was gone and off duty cycle was a hundred percent because it was in quick spool mode but it would never ramp up till way late like it would come in and then finally take off so what the log showed yeah Wow we just sit like six pounds and then I'll sit we ramp up well hopefully that's it because we know that thing has a lot more potential in it things sat for a long time so who knows where things are at someone who's stuck you know been a bunch of things yep so we'll get our chance on Wednesday not tomorrow but Wednesday so cletus actually rented the track out for us and we're gonna be spending the whole day there with the coal truck the Fraley in Honduras well just yeah see if we can't get some good runs yeah and I also heard Cletus might let us run Ruby he wants all of us to get in there and see what we can do so that should be really fun yeah Cletus and all dem already got out of here and we're done with the pray that for tonight we just have to throw the wheels and tires back on it and then it's pretty much ready to go then we also are gonna show you what we did with Holland real quick and then we head back over to the hotel yeah we just took the scoop off and like it works so we got Honda out here and we went ahead and took the thermostat out of it because while me and Jamie were busy getting food and the timing belt for the prelude Brent and Emilia went and took this thing down the highway and Bren was kind of checking out the tune and stuff and it was getting a little hot but not too crazy ride to 2:16 and then come back down to 195 and up to 216 195 and I just you know we like him 180 yeah a little cooler than that and I guess when they got back they said that the bottom radiator line was cold it was cold and it should have been hot so I felt like it wasn't circulating so we just went ahead and took out the thermostat and we started it up and now it like it takes longer to heat up but at least we know it's it's not overheating yeah we haven't driven it down the road since we've done that yet but we let it warm up for like at least 10 15 minutes and it didn't go over 170 so it seems to be working much better so we're gonna go ahead and actually take the Honda back to the hotel it's only like a mile away see how she cruises and we'll just leave my truck and stuff here and we'll just wake up in the morning and take this thing back it's back man yeah is back awesome I know we're just slowly ironing out all the issues on all the cars I mean when you worked on you're trying to get here a day early to do all of this and they just didn't work out it hit a blizzard and yeah we all fallen off our trailer and you worked on the coal truck too right yep the shifter went through all the shift linkage because you could not get like it says no third and fourth but hopefully now she's okay it didn't work I want to drag was there was major issues so yeah I want to drag her bumper in a weenie man just yeah that was sick that picture it pulled the tire to give that anyone wants a picture go to kill shot and just buy a print man she's got some of the cold and wheelies it's it's really sick yeah we are gonna head out for tonight do you think it's okay to maybe see if it can make a couple pounds yeah just watch the wideband you guys know so you're saying Honda you might make its first amount of boost on the way back it was about to make a full hit on whatever tuners you might have been lucky that axle snap I forgot it needed a tune to be on that was it but good thing the axle broke because I was gonna yeah that's what I told him I was like if that axle held and he was right next to his brother even if the air fuels Orlean he's like he didn't letting up yeah so we got the axle fixed it's back up and going I want my rematch don't you stop to manually plug in the fan you know it's all good like every other car we have well Honda remade it back to the hotel we weren't able to make any boost though because it goes really lean and if we try to adjust anything on the tune for some reason it just like closes the laptop out shuts down han data completely and grant had the same issue with his laptop we tried using mine to see if it would change but he's thinking that it's a grounding issue because there is no ground going from the chassis to the engine right now so it could possibly be that or just maybe missing a ground somewhere else but long story short we can't mess with the tune at all because it just locks us out right away and then you have to shut the whole laptop off to get it to read again so we just got it over here didn't make any boost just yet she didn't pop a baby flame so that's about the only action we've gotten out of it so far but she's back up and running and drove good so obviously the axle was the only issue got that fixed so Honda is ready to go once we figure out why the ECU's not talking to the computer so we can retune it because it was working at the track where they were messing with it and it was talking to it so we just have to figure that out and then the prelude should be ready for the track as well just got to button it up tomorrow and they yep we got a full day tomorrow so we can mess around with the cars and then Wednesday we go to the track and then we got another fool day at the track to mess with him so yeah and then we're hanging out in Florida for a while so we got all kinds of stuff to do yeah we're just now finally getting caught up to ourselves we're actually getting back to the hotel not super late we'll actually be able to get up early get some rest now we don't have to skip out on filming anything tomorrow because we'll just be ready to go oh yeah that's we're out for right now see you guys tomorrow and stay tuned for more stuff don't you guys worry you might have had a rough track day but we'll be back hopefully we can iron some issues out we ain't done if you guys have noticed we haven't given up yet we've been pushing through all our problems and we're making it work\n"
