Last week we got rid of our potato stock seats and threw some new Sparco seats at the e36. Today we get to go full race car by fabricating our own roll cage in case we ever yeet ourselves! Will it be worth it to tackle this ourselves? Only one way to find out. Thankfully Mike is here to help out!

Hmm wonder what that Tacoma was for Nolan?

That Bender is broken. It wasn't smoking cigars and insulting everyone.
Didn't you see him steal Zach and Mike's wallets?
Wasn't drunk either
Also didn't tell them to bite his shiny metal ass.

Ya boi made it into a Donut vid!! 21:49 I got to see this being put together in person, these guys whooped ass! Had that sucker done in a weekend, I was very impressed! 🤘
Thats so sick! Did you film while there?
Was that when you where fixing Nolans car?
What do you mean? It only took 24 mins not a weekend
Ok
Zach: "see you next Wednesday" Also Zach 1 month later: complete silence
Where he at?
When Hi/Low season 2 finishes, Money pit will probably come back.

I was thinking this exact thing.
That dry ice really do made a difference

This might be my favorite Money Pit yet. Cage work has always been something I wondered how it was done professionally from beginning to end. Super interesting! Love this show.
I live like 15 minutes from ECS tuning. Met Zach without ever thinking twice that he would be one of the greatest show hosts on youtube. was just a normal nice guy. Good old Ohio kid
"I'm gonna be filming Hilow" Best thing I hear all day. Let's gooo Question: What will happen to the miata?
Yeah right. I want to see them finish that car. They never really did finish the last hilow cars, then they didn't finish the miata, so if they don't finish this car it'll be just like every car build I do lolol.
@@chrispeck1325 wdym not finish the miata after 20k$ worth of mods?.... What
@@Elias-nk6eh he said they weren't finished with it. They never got it running right nor did it do close to the time they set out to do.

Isn’t this like the second episode lmao

Hey fellas, the roll cages you use can save your life. A week ago one saved my cousins life. He bought extra roll cage pieces to add to his stock set up on his side by side. And thank God he did, because it saved his life. He was life flighted and ended up pulling thru. These may seen like just pieces of metal that you are required to put on. But THEY WILL save your life. Stay safe fellas.

Without a doubt the best episode of Money Pit so far. Amazing job.
Learning a new skill is always important! Great job Zach!!!
Should have watched some Chris fix on removing that sound deadening
Was going to say same thing lol
Ah you beat me to it lol
Dry ice is such a pain in the ass though
Heat gun was way easier than it's cracked up to be. I finished my e30 in an hour with one. I couldn't find dry ice within an hour drive of me
What’s Chrisfix’s view on So Cal dry ice availability?
So hold up there’s gonna be a pause in money pit, but it’ll come back, AND we’re gonna get new HiLow
How do you know?

Probably one of my fav vids by you guys. Awesome video, thanks for putting in the time!!
Really enjoyed this video! Very in depth look at metal work and not an A typical video you guys normally do. Would love alot more of these deep in depth videos
Are we just gonna ignore that Zach was doing a wheelie on a wheelchair at 18:07
Not the craziest thing, I got one that I wheelie around my house when I’m bored and around my shop, once you get it down you can wheelie up curbs, 360’s.
I learned how to do that in a day at band camp. On of the kids had a broken leg and let us mess around with his wheelchair, surprisingly easy to do. lol sorry to crap on your comment.
We used to setup obstacle courses and wheelie around them on my friend’s grandma’s wheelchair. I know a paraplegic who does stair drops in his wheelchair.
@@kyleolin3566 must've been fun
Man, a freshly painted and installed roll cage just makes me FEEL things. Looks so fuckin good
Damn! This show has some incredible DIY content....Thanks for what you guys at Donut do for the Car Community!!!
Best MoneyPit of 2021 SO FAR! great detail from Mike
"You know me, always trying to prevent fire" except for that one episode where he tried to get his car to shoot flames. LMAO
They almost lit up the garage too🤣
Hi donut. You should make an eposode of up to speed on japanese kei cars, that would be sick!
I second that
That would be the only dount media video i would skip
Yess
The money pit series has officially become my time pit…. Great work donut team!
This is my first weekly episode after watching all the Miata videos. Super excited to see this build
Honestly I think the next "money pit" should be something like a 90s Blazer turned into a rockcrawler. That would be so awesome!!
Or a Drift 240sx even tho it Haß been done alot

The boys have clearly not watched ChrisFix remove sound deadening.
Why?
@@jonasthemovie he removed it using dry ice
@@HeyItsCoates So....?
@@jonasthemovie Freezing it so it's brittle makes removal a lot easier than heat gunning it and scraping it out. That's all
@@AverageScrub And you think They need to watch Chrisfix to know that?
Love the last shot with the cage going through the dash. Beautiful highlight.
Thanks for sharing the ideas. No idea where should I start to work. This video help me to skip alot of overthinking.💡
Now I gotta go back and watch the tire episode so I can get everything nice and orderly
Same lmao
Should delete the sunroof and put the CF or Fiber Glass insert in there. Had it on my track car and saves a lotta weight.
man I love this money put series so much please never stop it your content is so good
All that welding is just sooo satisfying! Love the series!
Something tells me I won't be doing a DIY rollcage in my car, oh that's right, it's my wallet
lolll
Yup. This cage would be what, 2-3k to have someone do? And I wouldn’t attempt it myself, even with a bender.
Jegs makes a bolt in cage almost exactly like the one they made shipped by freight to your door for around $650. Made for the E36 chassis years 92-99
@@chasejones3456 That is doable, a Do It Yourself roll cage, you need the tools, which I don't have, which are very expensive.
It's not a money pit if you don't toss in any money.
I think we’d all benefit on a money pit episode on swapping alternators. Is a higher amp worth it, what to look for, and wiring. Plus it’s finally a German car so if definitely benefit off this.
Alternators are easy. Seldom do you need more than factory output unless you are doing something strange that needs high wattage like a big stereo or running winches and low rider hydraulic pumps. Otherwise charging problems are always corrosion issues.
Yes hi-low coming. This and hi low is my faves but i do enjoy pretty much everything you guys put out
I always enjoy watching Jobe get after it but I was super stoked when Nolan popped in. Even if he just sits in the background it's always a good time haha.
Donut should make the “like and subscribe” logo/sound like the adult swim one after commercial breaks
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen
Where’s the commitment? Go out and roll it then we’ll all know if it was worth it! 🤪
Awesome content as usual. Wouldnt mind having another vid of just the slightly more technical stuff Mike thinks about during fab!
Hard work. I would just like to congratulate and thank Zach and his friend Mike for this project.
We need more glam shots of the cage with the interior assembled around it!
Zack doesn't sound as excited to work on the e36 than the miata ):
Because Miata is always the answer.
I feel like he's just tired, he's been working hard in this project
well miata is his daily car.for sure he excited for that.but e36.from my view.he excited but kinda tired.but you cant say that someone that put their all their night in that car not really interested at all
@@canul3801 buddy…
@@viktorwojtasiuk3182 didn't think about that!
I’ve been waiting for this episode I’m so Excited!!!!
So hyped for a new season of High/Low!
I was wondering why he cut a "V" in the tube instead of cutting the outsides to make a "V", then I remembered I'm an idiot and never built a rollcage before.
@Van Jon shut up
his background is a picture of his friend on his car, what a sweetheart
I'm going to have to book mark this; great job as always!
This is satisfying to watch but yall really making it look so easy installing a rollcage
6:08 “Zach, what does an engine sound like?”
ZachJobe is the best part of Donut. I live for each Wednesday.
it just makes my day watching your videos
Having the proper tools makes a HUGE difference in how fast, easy, and fun it can be to make your own parts. I have been looking for a really good deal on an inexpensive tubing bender so that I can make my own 10 point cage.
So happy HI-LOW will be back
Mike is really cool, I hope he appears on more episodes
my best friend andy did the ecs tunning summer drift series with him in the RWD audi
Awesome guest and video. Real deal stuff recorded perfectly. 👍
pnuematic powered angled die grinder with a scotch bright wheel works so well getting nice clean metal.
It looks absolutely amazing. It would have been nice to hear something about the safety calculations that go into making something like this. How much weight is this expected to withstand? In the event of a rollover, how much pressure would this be? Will the welds hold? Does the thickness of the metal tube make a difference?
For the most part the calculations have already been done. There are generally regulatory requirements on tube diameter, wall thickness, number and placement of different tubes, etc. depending on what race you will be taking part in. 2nd, rollcage strength is about impact not weight. You don't just want it to hold against the weight of the car, you want it hold against the weight of the car at 100mph as it hits a barrier. As for the welds, do NOT do this DIY unless you know how to properly make structural welds. Yes the thickness of the tube is extremely important to the strength of the cage. Hope this helps answer your questions.
“Don't go fast forwarding” sorry for disappointing, Mr Jobe 😥
Then I guess you missed him saying he'll be filming hiLow
@@Just1n2802 yuperdoo
You know, I’m real glad this season of moneypit is an offroad/rally build. The Money pit miata gave me some good ideas for my street miata. And now the money pit bmw is tackling things I needed to think about for my lifted offroad miata. 😂
This is extra interesting because Zach is with us learning how this works from Mike. Super cool
Where is MONEYPIT
Donut needs to hire Mike Day asap, dudes a wizard with that welder
Mike and you guys are always welcome at our sprint boat races. The only boats with roll bars that I know of. 👍1,000hp in a 13' boat. 6g corners. Cleetus even races with us now. Lol
This had to be one of the most complex Money Pit episodes I've seen so far... Damn, everything they said went right over my head XD Great job guys!

You feel like you need to know more?
As a Canadian, i do not approve of the editor spelling the sacred word “eh” as “ay” whatsoever!
feels bad cant relate
For the sounds deadening use dry ice. It freezes it and it’s really simple to remove as well as leaving a clean surface
The second i heard hi low my heart skipped a beat. Can’t wait
