I like Grub he's a good fit for the show and seems a decent bloke
Fire Extinguisher is the best addition to any car, things can go wrong on stockers as well
"I've had about seven cars burn to the ground!" Are you sure he's the right man for the job Andrew...

seriously man he could lose at least a hundred lbs and feel even better! either way I love him he's a legend
Damn those TC05s look dope ! I get your vision with the tarmacs but for some reason the weds look a lot nicer to me .
yes to the understated wedsport tc105x
Good stuff guys !
Loving the flamingo pen.
Interesting direction you have this heading in, keen to see the difference between stock vs final plan.
Tc105 are my fave attainable track wheel.
lots of useful data in this video, thank you. Although, what are the Weds/Zestino specs?
that guy went hundy on testing that seat haha
Did you forget to make a video about yellow wrap? :)
Glad you got it wrapped. I dig the new color. Polished, white, black and bronze wheels all look good with orange.
Love the "Man in ae86" reference at 9:24
One of the few Toyotas I have lusted after in a while. Such a shame we aren't getting it Stateside. Nice work gents!
When did it get wrapped? Is safety orange a new trend?
Hi how did you disable the seat airbag warning light? Did you use resistors? Thanks
Are your seat brackets FIA/CAMS approved?
How about the reae seats?
Be good so see some one weight the wheels off the rallye when we get it.
Yes next vid down the 1/4 been waiting for this 😀. Is it going to be uploaded next Sunday?

Thats a huge weight saving, but could you go too light and upset the balance of the car?

you need to remove a lot more than 5% to upset the balance.

What's the legality of a race seat for a street car?
@smythiegato
3 жыл бұрын
If the stock seats have airbags, race seats without airbags are not legal on the street. The guys were talking about only using the race seats at the track in this car though
Well..
7 cars burned?? Ahhh 😦
I know life is busy but don’t take weight off the car to only add kg’s around the waist which appears to have happened lately :-)

Andrew looks like he has lost weight too
That’s a significant amount of mass gone
Surely eating a salad would be an easier and cheaper path to weight saving...
why not drop the seat height? 4” lower is possible, better driving position, and lowers the weight of the driver, especially the heavier bloke 😂

Why didnt you gor fot the Recaro Podium? Its the lightest street legal seat in the world and its FIA approved, it weighs just 5.4 kg complete with a seat bracket... And I've just saved 50kg on a car that weighs just 960kg from factory, now it's high af at the rear🤣 I need new lowering springs, or a adjustable suspension 🤣
