RUINING A SHELBY GT350 - JDM Edition

**The Art of Driving: A Personal Experience with the 350z**

For me, driving has always been an exhilarating experience. The rush of adrenaline as I step on the accelerator, the feeling of power and speed as the wheels grip the road, it's all so thrilling. And with my latest project car, a 350z, I've discovered that there's more to driving than just getting from point A to point B. In this article, I'll share with you my personal experience with the 350z, including its handling, features, and modifications.

I recently spent some time in my 350z, enjoying the ride and getting a feel for how it handles on the road. One of the things that struck me was how comfortable the car feels when driven at high speeds. The seat doesn't have as much cushioning as I'm used to in other cars, which makes the ride feel slightly stiffer, but in a good way. It's almost like the car is more responsive, and I found myself enjoying the driving experience even more than usual.

I also want to mention that the car's performance has been impressive. The engine sounds great, and the acceleration is quick and smooth. I've had fun with this car, pushing it to its limits on the highway and experiencing the rush of adrenaline that comes with driving a high-performance vehicle.

**Cooking with Blue Apron**

In addition to my love for cars, I also enjoy cooking. And what better way to cook than with a meal kit delivery service like Blue Apron? Blue Apron is a popular meal kit delivery service in the United States, and I've always been impressed by their ability to deliver high-quality ingredients and recipes right to your doorstep.

Recently, I cooked one of my favorite Blue Apron meals, Cece's Kung Pao Chicken. The recipe was delicious, with a sticky sauce that complemented the crispy brown chicken perfectly. What I love about Blue Apron is that they always seem to surprise me with new ingredients and recipes, which keeps cooking interesting and exciting.

One of the things that sets Blue Apron apart from other meal kit delivery services is their partnership with Airbnb. They've partnered with some amazing chefs from around the world, including Cece from Shanghai, who shares her passion for cooking and sharing food cultures with others. It's been a great experience cooking with Blue Apron, and I look forward to trying more recipes in the future.

**A New Test Pipe Arrives**

In other news, I recently received a new test pipe for my 350z. The pipe was recommended by some of my friends who have experience with car modifications, and I'm excited to try it out. The pipe is designed to improve the exhaust note of the car, which I've always found to be lacking in comparison to other high-performance vehicles.

The new test pipe arrived today, and I can't wait to take it for a spin. I'll let you know how it sounds in my next video, but from what I've seen so far, it looks like it should do the trick. The installation process was relatively straightforward, although I did have to get creative with some of the bolts that needed to be tightened.

**The Importance of Safety Features**

As I mentioned earlier, one of the things that's been on my mind lately is safety features in cars. Specifically, I've been dealing with a issue where my air conditioning system has been leaking coolant. It's not a major problem, but it does make driving uncomfortable at times.

I recently picked up a new test pipe from FedEx, and while it was not sponsored by them, they did recommend it to me based on my experiences with other exhaust systems. I'm excited to try out the new pipe and see how it improves the car's performance and sound.

In conclusion, I hope you've enjoyed this article as much as I have writing it. From driving high-performance cars like the 350z to cooking with Blue Apron, there's always something exciting happening in my world. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you tomorrow!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys and welcome back to the first floor to video we've done in a while so we're gonna start off strong and do something that I've been wanting to do for a while some time and driving the Mustang around a lot it's the only car that I have right now that has a/c that I can drive around as a daily I've been getting a lot of back pain so these factory Recaros that come in the car are really nice and they're really really nice feeling I don't know I'm pretty bad at explaining how seats feel but the problem with them is obviously I don't sit with them that looks like far back but they kind of make you sink into the seat at a weird angle because they're so cushy that it kind of makes you like slouch when you drive and I've been developing a lot of back pain from driving this car that's probably one of my least favorite things about this car like a lot of the other stuff but the fact of the seats feel that way it kind of ruins the car for me the obvious solution change the seats so what would be the right option to put in the car and a lot of people actually put like the GT Touring seats in the car because they're more like street seats but me of course I got to be a little bit different so I picked up a reclinable bride from toga factory I would have loved to do a fixed back one but fixed back ones are just a little bit narrow and this one will work better with factory seat belts because it does have like this little gap which makes these easier for getting it out of the car as well however after getting to see it is a little bit more narrow than I thought it would be in the first place so I don't know if I'm gonna keep the seat of the Mustang or if I might switch and put this in the BMW instead and get something else for the Mustang but I'm hoping it'll be a relatively straightforward process installing it in the Mustang I think it'll be kind of cool kind of a little bit JDM having one bride and a new Mustang yeah I didn't get to because I don't really have a lot of passengers in this car off and it's know me just me driving around town so I am going to be installing the seat hopefully go straight forward it's a bride bottom mount rail I've never done a bottom mount rail but it seems like it should be a lot more straightforward and the slider should line up so we're gonna try to figure this out don't know what I'm gonna do about the airbag situation and how that works but should be fun I'm like in s13 where we just have a couple little socket bolts I noticed there's these little plastic covers I didn't look at anything up but I'm pretty sure this is how the seats come out can use a razor just to pop this little cover up and then it is 8055 Torx bit in right here and I'm assuming there's just four of these in the front well two in the front and two in the back and then that should be enough to just remove the seat cast thing it should just lift it up now and there's probably gonna be some sort of airbag wires underneath it to disconnect like one big pigtail nice easy Ford connector no airbags on/off interface that's dope and you should be able just pull this bad boy out look how funny this is we have American sighs and then we have little Japanese sighs probably not my first color choice for the brides the only real reason that I got these ones is because togi factor actually had them in stock and normally ordering brides like the ones that we got for Nicole's car it takes like months so yeah that's impatient Adam just wanting to not have back pain it's funny because the quality of the Recaros I think they're actually a much nicer seat Alcantara like very nice construction just it just gives me back pain I like to see it's a great seat a lot of people like them but I found it on the forums it seems like taller people are the people that have complaints with the seat I don't know maybe it's not designed for a taller person but then again the bride isn't either I don't know my hatred for seat rails doesn't exist when it comes to bride because unlike everybody else they're smart about it and they usually have them connected to their actual brackets same thing with their side mount seats so look at this they're already lined up I know the sliders are gonna work I literally just have to bolt the seat to this bolted in the car and we're done good job guys no this is not sponsored by bride I wish it was got it kind of propped on the counter and then I'll just start fastening the bracket to it up in there this should be nice and support kind of sketch me out because what I'm doing right now is I'm plugging honestly kind of enjoying the whole harness underneath the seat just because I'm gonna try to still have the seatbelt wire plugged into the factory harness so I think that there's a seatbelt connected but um yeah I noticed there's like blood on the seat down there which is kind of sketchy and then I looked at my hand and I was like oh wow I'm bleeding that sucks so I guess there's sharp stuff under there so whoever ends up buying this car you have my blood on the bottom of your seat sorry I'll clean it off if I put this seat back in hey how much wiring comes from the factory underneath the seat there's like this plug and then this plug and this plug I know ones for the airbag I don't know what all the other ones are for so that's kind of weird to me but interesting and all you have to do is unbolt the seat belt so it'll bolt right up to the bride and this one last pesky little clip even though they look much tinier weight wise I'd say they're about the same reclinable seats just tend to be really heavy in comparison to like a fixed back bucket it does however look like it's going to sit extremely low in comparison to the Mustang seat so I might have a hard time seeing over the hood which I already do it looks so funny and tiny compared to the rest of the car this is honestly like it's starting to a joke video putting a bride in a Mustang it's funny because I probably have never complained about a seat being too low in my life but other than the fact that I could barely see over the hood it's actually very very comfortable much more comfortable than I thought it'd be definitely an improvement over the stock seats but this is like I level what I see and I'm a tall person so if anyone else drives this car they're not seeing over the head of this car I was need like a booster seat it was like a really hard car to see over in the first place but that's crazy so I guess this is a very dangerous install I wound up cutting my other finger too I don't know maybe seat belt stuff is sharp who knows so that big messy wiring harness that I showed you before I basically plugged it in here and then like talked all the wiring underneath here so it's not going to get caught in the sliders in the seat and then I just have the one wire that'll plug right into the seat belt the only thing that I'm not too crazy about is the way that the bride bracket is you see like all the silver crap through the carpet so what I think I want to do is get some small pieces of carpet that I can just kind of hide under here it'll make it a lot a lot cleaner I just have to go to like a fabric store and see if I can find some carpet that matches this I think I could also do some like velcro trying to like the stuff they have on the seat belt the fuzzy side and then I could do like an adhesive and adhesive that down but I honestly think if I do like a carpet and just literally kind of let it rest there it'll look much better and much cleaner than just some velcro stuck on there I put some black vinyl over this little metal part and I think it looks nicer than leaving it silver like it does over here it just kind of helps it blend in a little bit more just as a quick fix until I get some carpet I'm predicting some of you guys are gonna hit me up about buying this stock seat I know a lot of people like to upgrade their Mustang seats with Recaros and I'm pretty sure these go for quite a bit of money but I am going to be keeping it so that way I could just easily return it to stock that quick little black vinyl job actually helped to make it look like a lot cleaner install yeah pretty self-explanatory slider works just as you'd expect it to not too crazy about the red stitching in this car I guess it kind of matches the Ford Performance logo but um I probably would have chose the gradation but again I just got these ones because they're in stock so yeah I'm gonna go pick up something that's at a FedEx headquarters so I can do it I'm 3/3 easy and we'll do that for the rest of the video and then what kind of call tonight that sounds lame it's a it's fun what could have fine weather they're not being able to see you over the hood it's way better like I am so much more comfortable driving this car now I just wish this team went a little bit lower I don't know if this makes sense but because the seat doesn't have as much like cushion and flex as the stock ones do it makes the car actually feel like it rides a bit stiffer in a good way and it makes it feel like it's a little bit more responsive because you don't have like that cushy feeling to it so kind of cool out just to see makes a car feel a lot nicer I said solo this is my view of the gas gauge I have to actually like pick my head up to see it I mean some leftover crappy frozen pizza the original plan was I was supposed to make a blue apron meal with Nicole and then we realized because we were away we had delayed our shipment so we didn't have any blue apron meals to make you're not familiar with blue apron they are the leading meal kit delivery service in the United States we always have fun cooking blue apron meals because it kind of forces us to go a little bit outside of our comfort zone and kind of make a little bit more elaborate meals and let's just say simple pasta and sauce we're not chefs over here we're usually able to cook them in under 45 minutes and the cool thing is we have to go to the grocery store since the ingredients get delivered direct to our door from April 16th through May 21st blue aprons actually teaming up with Airbnb and they're gonna bring recipes from all over the world from Airbnb experience hosts an example that gave me is Cece a chef from Shanghai who makes incredible kung pao chicken a

like bends off but I've seen a lot of EQ exhaust systems where they have little canisters like this so I'm guessing that it should get rid of the I'm excited to try best pipes are like the worst undies the first time the second time still sucks but I just hate like it's so difficult to get into those bolts up in there it's so annoying but this is what the new ones look like all fancy and stuff I need to get that brace back though because it says it'll void the warranty if we don't have it I'm gonna go see how the new test pipes sound on the Z forgot how cool this thing looks super rad I love it I'm excited for the over friend there's gonna look really cool I think I've been leakin one of the AC lines because my AC isn't working and it's hot in Florida I don't think it really got
