We started to rebuild our engine until we learned. I am now 31 and I have never taken a car to a mechanic for anything. And I do crazy stuff to our cars. I even learn how to paint cars. And yes all of the fluids in my car are like brand new before I replaced them. My brother's get mad at me for switching out the oil when it looks like I just barely put it in.

If you track it once every now and again, and your grease your knucks like you wash your hands, deleting your cat on track day shouldn't be a huge deal.

Zach just has the added benefit of an actual formal education and the backing of a solid car enthusiast set of friends that can all supplement his skills/knowledge.

    I mean, yeah, but this was a terrible choice of car for this test. The exhaust restriction on such a small engine is really negligible. it matters for more for larger or more powerful engines, where a cat delete is definitely worth it for more power, and that’s not even talking about the safety of reducing egts and back pressure. The cats on new cars are very restrictive to meet tightening emissions regulations (and ridiculously expensive), at the oem I work for we are having trouble even meeting last year’s power and torque ratings on the same engines.

However Co2 mixes are used in certain situations such as welding carbon steel or doing a carbon build up. Nitrogen can also be used for specific purposes as well. Love the Vid Zack.

    Yes that’s very much true. I’m a welding student, currently working on my highschool endorsement. And yeah, when you look at welding, it seems harder than it actually is. The terms, and machines you use is quite different than your average mechanic’s work shop. When you make a weld, it’s true that you really need to make sure the weld is strong. I’ve met plenty of welders that thought the welds had to look good too, and then took a grinder to said weld. They completely ruined a perfectly strong weld, because of a simple misunderstanding. The main thing to worry about is making it strong, but it’s ok can make it look good with a strong weld too. But it takes quite a bit more skill, than just grazing over learning welding basics.

The EPA is in fact cracking down on it right now because they are actively going after brands/companies that sell/install/etc parts marked "for off road/closed course use only" that end up on street vehicles. I'm aware that there's no new law and the stuff they are dealing with has been illegal for decades. Anyway, the EPA doesn't care about legitimate race vehicles because they are so rare as to be irrelevant. P.S. Natural gas powered plants made up around half of the generation outage in Texas.

    Great video! Used to have a mk2.5 MX5 2004 from new had it a couple of years but loved that car! Had the bullet proof 1.6l which was more reliable than the 1.8l version which is why I chose that from factory and not much different out the factory cos the lightness of the car! Went BMWs after cutting my teeth on that for 2 and a half years but miss that car ever since I SERIOUSLY want another one but the rust issues on them especially in England are a nightmare they're getting scrapped left right and centre over here but if you're prepared to do £1000/1500usd of welding on them they can be saved in a lot of cases, but it's a big job and then you gotta get the respray etc so you're throwing money at em for sure unless you get one that's been garaged all its life and never seen water or salt and they're like rocking horse shite and command £6-15k. Btw you can't decat them legally in Britain cos the emissions test on the annual MOT they have to pass, so great video especially for over here! Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    For future reference. Anything less than 80% argon will not support a plasma stream when you're welding heavier metals when MIG welding. If you will use at least 90%, and I've used up to 98,2, but frequently 92,8 argon co2, you can still use that gas for TIG welding. I have found that if you take a little bit of time to understand some of the processes and think out of the box a little bit. MIG welding will do as clean a job if not cleaner and much quicker than TIG welding. I have actually done stick welding on 14 gauge stainless that was indistinguishable from a TIG weld. But that was when I was in practice. I might have to practice a little bit to copy that procedure. Most people, even some of the so-called experts, do not have a clue what they're doing especially when they're welding large panels of metal. There are some very simple procedures for keeping them from warping for instance.
