I like it, learning is fun….

Got my hands on the I6 Altezza and it's been amazing. Had to put in a new front suspension because those lower ball joints can be a draaag and got a new T/belt too but yup, I agree with you guys, the thing is a proper daily! Mad respect all the way from Zimbabwe

I learned to track and race in bmw's and Miata. 30 years track experience. Occasionally doing time in Porsches. I had the opportunity to race a well prepped CRX. Absolutely awesome. Tearing up bmws, Miata's, vw's. So much so, I'm going to get one!

The Car community stresses the understeer factor.....any tips on how to combat that....I'm sure your experience will be very valuable.....I always felt like I'll miss out on learning god racing skills by not owning a good RWD car( they're going up like crazy $)....I own 3 Civics and a mid 80sMazda B2000 short wheel base pick up( torsion front and Leave spring rear) yeah maybe not the best suspension for practicing. Thanks in advance

I have a 2013 Mustang and it's a serious beast of a car with just some minor mods. Nothing insane, either. The V6 and V8 are stupidly strong engines with tons of mods available. Just do remember that the reason everyone crashes at cars and coffee is because they turn the traction control off. It's not truly "off,, so it will re-engage, grab, and then send you sideways. There is a special method to actually turn it into the equivalent of track mode, requiring you to de-pin one of the connectors, which will cause the entire system to fail to boot up and throw a ton of error codes on the dash. Then it's actually OFF. (yes, there is no "track mode" option - thanks, Ford) But then it will be safe for track and drag strip use. Many people, as you can imagine, have a switch installed as a racing mod.

My dudes, you guys knocked this one out of the park! Awesome vid. You had me at I6 2JZ. You also gave me a reason to want an E36... sorta. That comment about doing an LS swap makes me recoil back to the IS 300 idea. I'm glad the MR2 was on this list, but I would still take a miata over that thing. If the car was supercharged, I could get behind the wheel easy enough. But adding a turbo to it sounds like a death sentence. Turbo spool+snap oversteer = grafted tree branch. I'm pushing 266whp in my miata, easily giving one of those a run for its money around the track. I'm good on the MR2 train. However, I've always loved the styling of the 80s and 90s year models. Maybe if I counter-balanced the front. I loved the inclusion of the CRX and DelSol. While I've never been a fan of the DelSol's styling, these cars are absolutely like legos to put together. If I only had the money to seriously mod my civics when I had them. The work would be cake. As for the Mustang, I'd have to add an LSD, a rear independent suspension, and some seriously fat tires on the back before I try to run 10s down the 1/4mi in one of those. Those cars just have torque for days. Unless all that power is put to the ground, expect a lot of funny business in the rear end. Like, the crowd control and life ending kind. The stock rear tires can't even handle the stock power. Slap some 305s on the rear of a GT as step 1. Overall, this vid made my heart sing. Finally we step into the tuner space. Since we're on the topic of mods, maybe a video series on what mods to add to what car. For instance, all the mods needed to keep an EJ's head gaskets from leaking, or the engine destroying itself from oil starvation. Likewise, you could do the same with an E36. Pitfalls, dos and don'ts, what to watch out for, what's a guaranteed repair item, etc. The sky is the limit on these topics. I just think the majority of the crowd is a little burdened with the X best cars list trend. Keep up the good work gents! (As a side note, looking up common issues with the WRX led me to a random website with the ideal vid "The best Subaru WRX generation..." thought it was funny)

Never get a Subaru

You had two of my picks I was debating between the last few months. The CRX and the IS300. I decided to go with the IS300 because its RWD and not FWD.

Choosing the right car to tune is really more important than what you do to it. Push the easy button and get stellar results.

Finally brad is back 😮💪💪

Thank you for the video. I'm going to get a Mustang!!!!

For sure the mustang for me also !!!! Ice got a 2014 mustang and your so right there's a ton of upgrades I just bought a hellon twin turbo setup SICK !!!

Please do a version.for southafricans that can withstand potholes

The BMW Z3. I got my 1999 BMW Z3 Roadster for 2.6k and it runs perfectly at 300k miles, so its reliable, it sounds amazing, could push hella power with a single turbo, weighs about as much as a turtle.

videos like this is the reason secondhand car market is on the rise thats why Ive found another cheap car to mod and not telling anyone about it LOL. I like buying them cheap and love the parts still being the price of peanuts lol. But when im done with my project im gonna blast it all over the net on how to replicate it and continue the trend lol.

Surprising to know the VQ engine is actually in any 2002-present Nissan maxima or any 2002-2006 Nissan 350Z as well. I found one for sale for $2,500 in decent shape… never hurts to shop around.

the b235r from saab is more tunable then the 9-2x b235r can be tuned up to 800hp

You tripping bruh! Turbo over Super charger all day everyday!

One of the best videos I’ve seen from you guys. Lots of good knowledge. The S197 Mustang is my old car from a few years back. FYI Ford also makes a few upgrades for the Mustang under the “Ford Performance” label. Cool thing is your local Ford Dealer will install the parts without hesitation because it’s an official Ford part.

When will you do fast sport bike for cheap or fast touring bikes for cheap

Is the H22 no longer a thing in CRX?

4.6 3v is cool until your sparky snaps in half

I know it's a little more than the Civic, but what about the Honda Accord? Specifically the old ones that still have a V6. You can get them for 10k right now (like my 2008 Honda Accord V6). It also has that signature reliable V-TEC motor.

I've instructed in track day experiences where you can bring your own car. Accord and Camry absolutely suck. Sure they move fast enough in a straight line. Anything should with enough horsepower. Crappy suspension dynamics. Very unbalanced, brakes for crap regardless of pad or fluid. By the time you modify them, you could have purchased a used VW or BMW for less, kept them stock and still be faster around the track. Don't get me wrong, absolutely fun getting stupid in any car around a track. Just don't think it's some kind of sleeper performance car. Don't even ask me about the Altima.

Talks about s197’s slaying coyotes and super cars. Proceeds to only show videos of coyotes racing. 11-14 Mustangs are s197’s but they are still coyotes 😂

you guys are sleeping on lincoln my moms lincoln mkx is a 3.7 liter v6 that makes 305hp stock and she got it for 11k and its mint, its all wheel drive with sport mode and paddle shifters, its a lot of fun to drive fast and on windey roads but it also gets good gas mileage.

You're dead on about the C5, but C6s are getting dirt cheap now too!

If your gonna get a S197 5th gen Mustang... Please buy the 2010-2014 as those have the nice sleek headlights... 2005-2009 were fugly

:( no Miata mention the 1.8 may be gutless stock, but with some turbo shenanigans to touch 250 wheel horsepower, they're shockingly quick. So light that massive power isn't needed to be fast.
