Hey yall welcome to MONEYPIT! We have a TON that we want to do with this show, but what are your initial thoughts? What kinds of stuff do you want to learn about? What mods do you want us to do (and teach you how to do) on this Miata?

Donut Media I started a project car KZread channel building hey twin turbo 6.0 LS 1971 GS and I could not believe the salt I got in forums and other places but not on KZread most you guys are helpful and awesome. for trying to bring back to life a car any other way then original. A car I dreamed about owning for 13 years. It is sad we live in a time where certain people‘s point of views are absolutely destroying car culture. The days of hot rodding in the 50s, 60s, and 70s are gone, where people only cared about getting it down a quarter mile, or who was faster on the back streets. Now if you don’t build a specific car a specific way, get the heck out. Where is the fun in that? Where is the passion? That is not passion; that is cancer. If it is not your car, then be supportive. The only time we should be competitive is at the track; until then, we’re all fighting to keep the hobby and passion alive long enough for it to reach the next generation. Thank you guy for being true gearheads and inspiring others to build their dreams

Trust me bro, learning/working on cars is an exponential process. Just like collecting tools, you start with one, then u get another, then maybe 3 more, then a full set, then before yk it you have a trunk overfilled with various sockets, pliers, and breaker bars. Its the same shit wit car knowledge. You just start with ok how tf does an engine work exactly? And then u get more and more specific to the parts of the engine you are curious about. Trust me you'll know a lot in no time. I went from failing to even get the oil drain plug off on my acura, to messing with the timing of the engine and cleaning off shift solenoids.

Pick up a car (if its an i4 or pushrod v8 itll help with simplicity) 4. Pick up a repair manual 5. Go wrench, do tune ups and fluid changes, change brakes, change break lines, fix that leaky head gasket/valve cover gasket, rear main seal, change bushings and motor mounts and use that repair manual as your bible and youll get the hang of wrenching 6.

In February. I changed a CV axle with an older guy with way more experience with vehicles then me. At first I had no idea wtf I was looking at? & dealing with. I felt very overwhelmed. But after catching a taste of how fun and pretty basic it was, I was hooked (if you would). So far, on my own. I’ve changed the drivers side CV Axle, heater core, hub assembly & oil change. And now. My current project is going to be the starter. 😊 My point is, don’t give up. Once you do it yourself. You feel at ease with yourself.

I actually picked up a late model mk6 gti 2013 with the newer style cam tensioner. As my project car. Overall super fun. Super easy to mod. Super easy to make nice power. Price is a little rough but it's a drivers edition so I got thr leather seats, golf ball shift knob, watkins glens wheels. It's super nice!

This series inspired me to buy a datsun 280z. Within 3 weeks of owning it I've already done wheels and tires, completely brake system hardware replacement including master cylinder and booster, and gave it a tune up and a sick valve cover paint job.

This channel inspired me to get a project-daily-whatever, E46, it’s kicking my ass but I’m so excited with how it’s turning out

When i was 13 i got my first project moped, a '74 kreidler Florett RM wich used to be my dads. It had been rotting away for 30 years and we attempted to fix it up together. This is what got me into wrenching. The kreidler sadly didnt get finished yet, for the simple reason that the parts got very expensive, and i found out that delivering papers as a 13 year old didnt make the kind of money i needed. I had some other mopeds tho, and built up a great group of friends around wrenching on mopeds. By now most of us are around 20 and we all grew into cars. One of my mates got himself a volvo 480, me and another mate got ourselves a workshop and we are really into toyota starlets (specifically p7's, i converted mine from automatic to manual, with some help from a mate and your video on the money pit bmw). Another friend of mine started off with a volvo 440 and drives an s60 now, theres some golf gti's, a land cruiser bj40, a celica and a lot of other cars in our group, and off course we brag and bash eachothers cars, but in the end everyone is always down to help one another. One time i was on a vacation trip in louxembourg when my slave cilinder broke, and it was at this moment i found out that luxembourg never got the starlets, so i couldnt get my part (i shouldve gained suspicious about the lack of starlets when my car got more attention then the aventador in front of me, but theres plenty of those over there). I happen to be in a starlet group chat, and explained my situation. Someone i have never actually met stepped in and mailed me a slave at cilinder the camping. I happened to have some brake fluid with me, so we replaced the cilinder at the camping and got on our way again! The car community is truly something amazing and i feel priveleged to be a part of it!

@Alexandr Retardo well American cars are expensive to import but its not imposibile to import American cars such as Cadilac or Chevrolet or Lincoln to Europe or Euroasia. Or i can make replicas of old American cars but a smart person would know that my 80s Lincoln its actually a Lada 1300. Anyway what i said is a joke or maybe its not. The future will tell. Have a good day!

I've been working on a 2006 Lexus IS250 AWD for a while now, super fun, reliable, and has become a head turner! Can't wait for the next car too!

Saw this video when brand new. Over a year later I just got a 1986 Porsche 944 turbo and I can’t wait to follow along this video with things to do to my car and how to do them!

There are 2 people in this world....there are spectators and there are doers. Think of it as a learning experience. You will make mistakes. If you need help, reach out to someone for help whether it's through a car friend or car forums. Learning means making mistakes. Roll with the punches until you get there. If you truly love the car culture and want to do it, don't hold back. If it's really not your thing, then don't. It's not an easy road but a fun one.

My 96 accord is a good example of project car. Easy to work on, cheap parts and u learn a lot about the basics of cars and how to fix them when they break (which they never do)

My RX8 was the first car I did all my own work on. Wouldn't have been able to do it without forums & the local club. One of the best things I learned, buy cheap harbor freight tools to start. If you use them enough to break them, buy a nice one. I still have a ton of cheap tools around that work just fine for what I need. Also sometimes local clubs means discounts!

5:54 "Just borrow from your friends permanently" I used to have a lot of tools. Now, I only have a handful left.

The only reason I haven't started is because I'm 12. I've always like cars and I still do. The only thing kind of driving me away from them is the thought of EVs and all that. Even without EVs, a lot of new cars are too techy, even though technology is one of my favorite things. Another weird thing about me is the fact that I'm a car guy, Moto guy, and truck guy. 🤷🤷 Love the content, keep it up.

Side hustle, shit lease a cool car like an accord and Uber in it and use your money to save up to buy a project.

Damn - I'm revisiting this for the first time since it came out. I've always absolutely loved cars since I was very very young but have been terrible at saving money due to a multitude of life reasons and I've never had enough to buy a car I truly want, more so what I could get my hands on at the time. Since March 2021 I've owned a 99 EK civic sedan as a daily driver that I got for a steal and had to basically race an hour and a half on public transport after work for and then bought sight unseen in the dark and just trusted it, and the second I bought it I wanted to modify it, and this series gave me the confidence and know how to actually pull the trigger and try do some stuff myself. As of June 4th 2022 I now own TWO ek civics, with one being the original sedan which has since been quite heavily modified with all the fun suspension bits and all the bolt ons, and the second being a grandma spec hatchback I just bought off a friend for a song which I'm hoping to keep original until I can afford the full Type R treatment. Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement, and thank you for explaining everything easily to all the other idiots just like me! I love you guys ❤️

I bought my first project car today! Imported rare (in the netherlands) civic eg6 sedan. Super hyped, you convinced me forreal! I thought i wasn’t good enough do to it
