How to Get your Car Ready for an Endurance Race (and not blow up)
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Today I show you how to install gauges, a heel plate, wheel hub studs, Lexan windows, and modify your exhaust to turn your car into an endurance race car, kind of... Hopefully all of our fixes prepare us for the endurance race this year because last year definitely didn't go well with our car lasting only 15 laps until the engine blew up!

Chris, thank you so much for your hospitality when my sons saw you compete at the 24 hours of lemons. You and your crew are AMAZING to your fans. You have been an inspiration to my oldest son Grant. Hard work and dedication can allow you to do anything you set your mind to. Watching your videos helped not only inspire my son to be future mechanic but also helped entertain him when he was battling cancer. I hope all your other fans know how kind hearted you are. My family and I wish you, your family and friends continued success. Thank you!

After watching your videos, I have to say that I've NEVER seen someone so good at planning ahead of time and just being wise overall. Huge inspiration. I do comedy skits now, but down the road I want to actually get into the automotive industry.
The first time I have ever seen Chris fix not use medium strength thread locker. Went straight for the throat on those hub threads. Also. Love that Christmas Story reference at 17:18.

Great video Chris! I just wanted to mention as a reminder that while dismantling your steering wheel to change it to a quick release steering wheel, you should unplug the car's battery just to prevent the airbag from engaging while you're getting rid of the stock steering wheel, which could cause injury. Edit: I also think yellow headlight tints would look sick on the car btw
I just saw fab rat's video on this race yesterday! Cannot wait for your race! Thank you for all you have taught me Chris. I recently replaced the head gasket on my diesel van's 285k motor... Couldn't have done it without the stuff I've learned from you. Thanks for everything, ROAD TO 10 MIL!

Much love to you man, your helping a young girl get on her feet with these vids, God bless you. I'm praying for you and your success ❤️
Love this channel, I just got started in working on cars and can do basic things so far like brake changes, spark plug replacement etc.. But this channel just adds to that hunger of information I have for topics like this. I would love one day to get into racing.
The exhaust sound honestly reminds me of my cousin’s 350z it sounds amazing Chris! Great job and keep up the good work :D
I love how you bring joy to so many people. Keep it up!
This guy just goes from strength to strength - best on YT by a clear country mile. You just CANNOT beat a ChrisFix video.

For people that don't want to change to studs, look for a wheel hanger alignment pin, usually about $10 each, take out two of your wheel bolts, thread the pins in a few threads and the pull the rest of the bolts. Keeps the wheel from falling off and makes putting the wheel back on a breeze.
Best of luck with this years race, sounds like you guys are really ready to bring the A game!
