I'm with you, no idea why but bloody love how stupid they are. They'd be in my 10 car collection.
I am getting crazy bored at home, it's been 4 weeks now. Wife isn't happy. I put a new exhaust on the C1.

thats a great vid deserves a lot more views and I think you have the catchy type of voice emphasis required for any degree of success.
I never trust an exhaust note not under load, not sure why doppler effect or something perhaps or just feels different when its freely reving. I also used to notice my exhaust sounded different varying by temperature on that day, really hot days it was great
Seems criminal I only in the last few months noticed these vids - https://youtu.be/4h8y9Fzzn9k?t=649
the Lambo v12 Countach in Canonball vs actual engineering

Ah thanks man, that's so nice. I made sure that we hit 20... so I'm scoping eBay for a go kart frame now

This was a good watch. Love that they shortened the ratio of the diff, that must make the car feel so much better.
I think a Boxster/Cayman with similar done (manual ofc) would be great. Long gear ratios are great for cruising and track work, but working your way through the (shorter) gears makes for a much more enjoyable experience IMO.
I put a 3.91 in mine and the difference was so dramatic it made a bigger difference to the butt dyno than adding 30HP did via CSL Airbox, remap etc. So yep makes a dramatic difference, the 3.91 and 4.10 is perfect for these cars.
As it was such a positive modification I am planning on changing the S2000 final drive in the future from stock 4.10 to at least a 4.44 or maybe even a 4.62/4.77

I forgot about that actually!

Because even a Citroen C1 needs some NOS. My wife is seriously going to kill me...
New software looking good.
0-60mph from 2.47 to 2.41 seconds
1/8 mile from 6.77sec @ 102.23mph to 6.71sec @ 103.55mph
1/4 mile from 10.67sec @ 124.70mph to 10.54sec @ 127.5mph
60-130mph down from 9.23sec to 8.68sec
All on worn tyres on the street, be interesting what happens with sticky new tyres.

Apologies if already posted, I love restorations to this standard.

That CGT is brutal. Seems the owner has ruined some really rare cars in his time.
We kicked off go kart project!

Possibly the most 'murica thing you'll find on YouTube

I bloody love Cleetus!
Man of Honour
Same, the persona isn't for everyone but he knocks out some killer content.
The likes of him and PFI/BoostedBoiz are really making the drag racing scene mainstream again.
Hopefully Corona blows over and dates align better this year so I can make it to Cleetus and cars in November
Soldato
I love the fact that he just loves what he does and because of that produces great content that's really watchable. All these companies putting on big races etc. and this one dude from YouTube is, post corona, going to sell out the FF with events from nothing. It's superb.
Back on topic, me and my son remapped the wife's car. Lockdown is fun tbh!

You sir gained another sub. This is fantastic stuff, looking forward to seeing it finished

It'll be impressive at the FF that's for sure! Wouldn't mind going to an event there at some point, be it a race or a C&C.
I can take or leave a lot of his content but generally he does seem to put out some good videos. I much rather watch BoostedBoiz and PFI Speed though along with a few others like MotionAutoTV and recently Fasterproms (their Smart car is going to be amazing). I do prefer Cleetus over AdamLZ though, I dunno why but I just can't get on with his content at all.

He also rebuilt a Mk4 Supra from a burnt wreck to a very tidy car....took quite some time though.

I've found this... I don't know why, just can't seem to get into it.
Me and Zach did some Kart work today, so that'll be online in a couple of days when the damn thing uploads on this conn.
