I cant stress this enough. I really appreciate that Jack & Edwin didn't just bust Ethan's balls the whole time and make life more difficult for him unlike what Alex did when Ethan was working on his Z3, and it often came across as mean spirited. You had a few laughs at his misfortune when things went wrong, but ultimately, you went out of your way to keep him on the right track and encouraged Ethan when he was doing something right.

There's a recent video on autoalex where he mocks Rory (I think that's his name, his cameraman) for being a bit overweight and having put a few pounds on recently. He takes it too far and comes across as a bit of a dick. I reckon he's an alright guy just things like that don't rub off too well. I've kinda lost interest in his channel. These three are just so much more wholesome and the chemistry is so great.

@@xeon4888 I too am lately feeling like he is taking the "friendly banter" way too far, especially with him being overweight, but on one of his podcast episodes he actually apologized for real to both Taylor and Rory about him making these kind of jokes, but even so, sometimes I feel uncomfortable too as it genuinely comes out as almost bullying

A silhouette of Ethan straddling that engine with Jack's quote, "some sort of mechanical cowboy", would make a great merch line.

Ethan videos are an inspiration, I consider myself a car guy as I've enjoyed cars for like 35 or so out of my 39 years? However I was never a mechanic, and never did half as much as Ethan did over the years, changing brakes, suspension, and now pulling an engine out. Fair play Ethan, you freaking earned the Honda bits!

The pros saying 3 hours to do what Ethan struggled to do in 24 is EXACTLY why no one should complain about shop rates. You’re paying for the knowledge and experience. Sure, you can do it in your driveway, but it’s gonna take you 10x as long as it takes me in the shop and I have access to torque specs and OEM procedures.

@@20thcenturygamer22 That doesn't mean that any price is acceptable. 200$ in labor for a brake job on a Miata in 30 minutes is a scam. Your experience (literally doing your job) is not worth every customer paying you 100s an hour. Especially when you pocket less than half that.

For everything that is good PLEASE put the 2JZ in the SMX!!

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while! The chemistry you've all got is brilliant

Ethan is the man! I wont lie, it was bloody painful watching him fanny about in parts but Im well proud, and he should be too. Good show Ethan, jolly good show! Now i want to see you (with the lads) fit it in a sleeper!!!! 😅

Fair play, Ethan. Didn’t even use all the life lines! For anyone tackling something complicated, remember: it’s just a lot of simple things all bunched together. If you can disconnect wiring, undo bolts and take off hoses, you’re most of the way there.

Alex invited Ethan to join him but Ethan refused as he thought it was risky. And Alex is picking on Taylor, Rory and just about every male guest on their podcast. But Alex also takes it when they respond in turn. So I don't think it was personal with Ethan. Alex's KZread persona is a bit childish/annoying but he can also be serious and do good things as well.

I've had a broke up a few weeks ago and I've been a living pile of misery ever since. You guys made me laugh, like for real, for the first time in this period. Loving the work you three have been doing in this channel

2JZ is probably not the best engine to remove as your first engine, great job, Ethan!

That was so good. You guys have totally made CarThrottle your own. As good if not better than it ever was.

Well done Ethan!! As a treat for pulling it out, I think the 2j should end up in the SMX 😂

Ethan gives me confidence in my own abilities. I love it when y'all do these non car guy videos, the man's a star!!!!

Another great video. There is something that makes Ethan so relatable. He reminds me to my own struggles when tampering with cars. Things like dropping the tools in the drain bucket or getting your hands caught by the spanners and then the all familiar sounds aarh withholding all the swearing. We all have been there I think. Also 👍 for the other guys withholding there knowledge and letting Ethan struggle for hours knowing he isn't progressing at all. Just for the fun of it, please let Ethan put it back into something else and see if he can get it running again.

You could see his skills improving with almost every bolt. I remember being cack-handed and lacking confidence like Ethan when I first started working on my own cars, but here I saw him grow and really start to understand and figure stuff out. So proud of him, I just want to give him a hug.

I know this is my fourth comment, but I've just finished - Man, what a satisfying video. Congrats, dude. This is probably my favorite car channel at the moment, and I'm loving the camaraderie you guys have. looking forward to seeing where 2024 goes. 👌

Very proud of Ethan for this❤️

Fair balls Ethan, that's some hard going! What parts are you going to get for the car? (Swap in the 2JZ 😂)

Jack saying "I'm surprised you can hear us" in the SMX made me cry of laughter haha. Humour was on point for everyone in this ep

The most satisfying part of the whole video was watching Ethan rake his knuckles across the engine etc. We've all been there and we all appreciate the learning experience provided by it.

Said it before and I'll say it again. Best car content on youtube.

Top work from Ethan, and a nicely judged challenge. You've really found your groove and your content just gets better. Don't go changing.

Bring back more of these please. Non car guy is great

Before you knew it, Ethan is gonna leave car throttle to become a mechanic ! I think he learn so much from all these years. That one was a particularly good episode ! Keep the good work.

Best video yet lads Been a fan since Alex was a part of car throttle and now this has become just as good as when he was in it congrats lads great content. As for suggestion for what to put the 2j in anything under a tonne would be fun (nissan 100nx ;) would be interesting to see Ethan take that on. :)

Getting to watch content from you guys and autoalex simultaneously, it’s the golden age of car youtube!

Guy the content is just getting next level I actively look forward to seeing a new vid. Smiling ear to ear.

Ethan was so fuckin lucky when that prop shaft barely missed crushing his foot to bits. Made me flinch like fuck that

I've literally just learned how to replace discs, pads and callipers after one siezed on my car and was proud of that so hats right off to Ethan for this.

Great work Ethan and some positive feedback to help him out. I laughed out loud a few times so keep up the great work.

I loved this video. Ethan is an absolute legend for persevering and getting the job done and props to the other guys for being there for him but letting him get the job done.

Really enjoying this channel at the moment, it’s not so much about what’s being done but how they go about it - you can’t fake the chemistry. Top stuff

3 minutes in and opened a bonnet? I'd call that progress! I'm usually sipping my tea

I’m loving the new videos, you 3 are so funny please keep making content you are smashing it lately!

Put it in the Porsche, give it some real power! Proud of you though Ethan, that’s not an easy job and you surpassed all expectations!

My best congratulations to you Ethan! A job well done. Especially when you haven’t attempted anything like this before. My suggestion is put the 2JZ in your Honda

Watching Ethane struggle is better than any euphoric substance known to man. Its pure brilliance.

Well done Ethan!!! Never a dull moment to watch you work on cars ❤

Best vid yet guys bloody luv'd it! Well done Ethan, sterling effort 👍💪🤩

What a great episode! It was a special episode. Ethan learned so much. The pains.

Absolutely loved that. Had me in stitches many times. Bravo gents.

I feel like a proud dad for a son I've never had

I am so proud of ethan! He did awesome!

amazing effort from Ethan for sure, well done mate!!

Was wondering wot happened to all these cars and why the clio and 940 looked abandoned. Gold to see yr not wasting them

Great episode! Ethan you have come a long way, kudos to you.

I love this channel and all these vid are great. This is one of my favourites! Great work Ethan 🤝🤝🤝

Brilliant and a literal laugh a minute. Invite me on to watch the next Ethan Challenge just for the craic! 🤣 Nice one Ethan! Top effort 😎

This was a blast to watch. I guarantee if Ethan had to pull another engine he'd do it in half the time.

One of the best CT Videos! I am impressed, chapeau Ethan❤

Amazing work Ethan! Now it’s time to get a new car and wiring harness and refit the engine for the ultimate test!

Great job Ethan ! You're now a real car guy !

My God that was entertaining to watch 😂. Fair play Ethan, good work!

i wished this vid existed when i turned wrenches and had customers ask, "why does it cost so much to fix my car? its just a few nuts and bolts you know". props to you ethan.

One of the best videos you have done!

really enjoyed this style of video. thank you

I’ve been waiting for another video from you lot this has made me so happy😂

Great video. Ethan you legend. Now let’s see that engine go in your SMX😁👍

ethan's a champ. he really did well on this one. better than I ever would. congrats buddy!

Well done Ethan first one is always the hardest, the look on your face.........................................priceless

This was one of the most hilarious episodes so far

Seriously, though, Ethan's attitude is really improving. Skills are easy to improve in contrast.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching Ethan descend into madness.

A diy camper build would be decent especially with Ethan and the Honda. If the others also got similar cars that have that kind of design but arent really meant for sleeping and do a decent road trip. It would be cool to see especially with Ethans woodworking skills

This was fun, but I was really enjoying the Porsche series. I hope there is more to be done with that? Would be really good to see that car made properly nice!

Go Ethan Go.. 💪 Really impressive. A 2JZ as first engine out what a man, my first engine out was a simple 1.3. Great challenge, with good lifelines and time limit, and only frindly teasing and jokes. 👍
