I think the lesson here is if you’re really trying to save money sometimes leaving things stock is better than replacing it with cheap garbage.
At least when you have 5 minutes to make the decision on what youre buying.
Yea. I felt the exact same way. Kinda of makes me feel bad fornlow cat. Paying money to make it worse... Noone wants to watch them do that.
And just because you pay a lot of money for parts doesn't make the base vehicle any better. (How many engines did OG high car go through? 3?
Yep. Most aftermarket radios I've seen/used suck compared to the stock ones honestly
Here’s the thing. OEMs do a ton of research into making their products work in a huge range of conditions. 99% of newish cars will start no problem, from -20-140°F. Now, think of how many aftermarket (non-OE suppliers) manufacturers have the resources to do the same. Lots of cheap upgrades are garbage.
Props to the hard working Cameraman hiding behind James: 4:07
As a former production guy, i literally laughed out loud when i saw the hand. I have a couple of those stories as well.
Came here looking for this xD
I came to say this... you go my guy! You deserve all the credit.
We love you hidden cameraman!!
And Nolan.
I’m disappointed that Nolan didn’t get a footprint gas pedal
They saved it for the DiCabrio
"My outlaw..."
That's what I'm talking about brother! First thing that came to mind you know what I'm sayin.
For the money, he would’ve been better off throwing away the stock covers and buying skateboard grip tape
I can feel Nolan's pain with the head unit. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to this
Yeah learned that the hard way lol
Not always a lot of people in the car audio realm will get a good 4 channel amp for their mids n highs and a separate sub amp almost no car stereo has a good internal amp
I got my mom a BOSS system for her 06 Wrangler and while having Bluetooth is a god send for her i feel shitty for cheaping out. It's a terrible headunit and the sound is awful and painfully quiet especially with the top off. shes not bothered by it in the slightest lol
@@TheLp640fan if its a shitty android touchscreen headunit look in the settings, there should be a tab for audio input gain, mine was set waayy too low from factory and once i put the slider back up it sounded pretty good
I got that same radio…had it in my car before I swapped it out with this shitty pioneer that cuts out a lot…you literally have to tune the audio I had it hooked with evl skar 10s and I had 0 complaints with it and I’m honestly thinking about putting it back in
Can't wait for $3000 vs $300 Vape

yeah, don't forget about him when you leave the car at the end of the day.
I was thinking the same thing
That hands tripped me out but also made me luagh hard.....i dont know why but glad he made the shot better 🤣🤣🤣
I just LOVE the hands adjusting the camera inside the car while they’re driving! 😂
They lied to us... they had a 'magic hands' modification on the car 😂😂😂
4:08 🤣
Would love to see Nolan as Hi-Team captain on the next one !
I was gonna say the same thing
They should’ve done that this season already 🤠
Fr he stays positive but if you continue to read his expressions you can see bros going through it not a jealousy thing but damn he wants to be in the position too not just get things that breaks , & the fact that the other guy idk his name lmao just shits on everything Nolan buys aswell doesn’t try to show some support encouragement nothing bro says shit straight up lol
@@CringeLord-dr8pe wut in subordination!
@@acedadon2107 his name is James and he literally makes the show 100 times better lol without dynamics this show would suck and I think your assuming a bit much. I also agree with you on the point that I want to see Nolan get high car. Cause it would be hallarious to see James shit on his own cheap car and products lol
Reminder to everyone who mods: the OEM parts on your car are of a certain quality, and unless buying high quality aftermarket parts, modding your car is just replacing high quality with garbage. There’s definitely a time and place and pricepoint for modding. On my Miata, I bought a “Momo Italia” $10 shift knob (well, it’s actually a 4-5” long cylinder shape?). It attached firmly but after a few days, I was just not digging the feel. I then bought a $99 Voodoo shift knob which I had on my other Miatas. So much better. On the WRX, the steering wheel is fine. A cheap aftermarket one is dangerous. Remember Donut’s “real or fake” episode where they destroyed a fake wheel in seconds? Wouldnt want that on the track. Same for crap shift knob and plastic pedals. Low car could have “dumpster dived” for high car’s Cobb shift knob for free. That said, disappointed low car didn’t go with those crappy “bare feet” pedals as seen on 1970’s vans and whatnot. Would have at least been worth the amusement.
As an MS3 owner, I feel you on OEM usually being better than most mods of the same part. Aftermarket support is already no good for it, but what is there is usually way worse than OEM most of the time (OEM parts for my car are fuckin expensive tbf). There're exceptions both ways, of course.
Me omw to swap my quality oem rims for some rep rims that will snap in half the second I hit the track.
This is why I'd like an OEMidcar where anything they modify on Hi and Lo car they replace with new factory or OEM parts. A low quality new part might feel better than a 15+ year old, worn out factory part but that's not a fair comparison.
Since they bought three cars and multiple engines this season, no reason they couldn't do Mid Car and pay a shop to refresh the car.
This. I spent 10 bucks on an ebay katana shift knob (it was for a bit, trust) and 100 on a likewise knob of similar shape, and it's worlds of difference.
Nolan deserves an extra $500 on a challenge next season because he was shorted as hell on this one.
the time constraint skewed this one hard! if you've got money, then "sort: highest price first" is a no-brainer. budget boys can't spend money, so they need to spend _time_ to hunt down some bargains. team low-car couldn't do that here, so of course they're gonna end up with a bunch of junk. obviously it's just a game and I'm not salty or anything, but it would have been better without the time crunch IMO.
@@SpaceMissile yea tbh the whole point of the show is to see if you NEED to spend a lot of money in order to get quality products. kind of defeats the purpose imo when you're pressuring them to buy items, especially when it takes time to find cheap deals
Honestly just let Nolan do Hicar next season
@@SpaceMissile Also, specifically using ebay motors only hampers tf out of that. You can't go find sales or other wholesaler style deals.
Lol fuck that. Give him $250 next time. It's the whole point of the show stop feeling bad for him. Lol
I am absolutely in love with the way this episode has been filmed. it feels like youre mixing hi lo with money pit. its sick

NOLAN FOR HI CAR!!! i think a budget-swap could be really interesting for next season
I agree! Nolan for Hi-Car!
I want to see hi car team struggle with low car budget parts
maybe next season they will switch it up and make james be lo car
hou je bek tim
Agreed, let’s see what Nolan can do with HI car for a New Years resolution! He takes everything in good humor with getting the cheap parts. No offense James, your great.
I would like to see next season of high/low with the roles switched
Ikr
@beruskaletuska would be a nice change to see Nolan be in charge of hi car
I would like to see next season oh hi/low with them even pretending to still give a fuck about the content they're putting out. The corporate acquisition of Donut is a prime example of how greed destroys creativity
@@christopherboland8789 can you give examples to reference?
Nolan has said he's always Team Low Car
4:09 the hand randomly peeking out 😂
I almost got one of those NRG knobs, so glad my suspicions were proven correct and I didn't get it. My stock shift knob was so heavily worn from the previous owner, and the size of it didn't quite fit my hand. With having to replace the transmission due to wear, and with every aftermarket shift knob available for cheap being garbage, I ended up discovering that a Civic EG has the same thread pitch for its shift knob as my Xterra, only the knob itself is smaller. Got one from the local junkyard for a fiver and it's been a perfectly snug fit since. It even looks like it should be stock. Thanks for doing this episode. I'm shocked at half of the car stuff I see getting sold these days, so it's nice having real-world use reviews for the good and the bad.
It's pretty goofy seeing the cameraman hiding so hard in the backseat. Just let the dude sit up! 🤣
Loved it. Made me laugh.
Stuff like this makes the channel feel like it's been going downhill for a while
@@CaliKrome bro what? 💀
@@andrewpulle315 right? oh no the camera man inside a tiny car can kinda be seen for half a second. what a shitty channel.
@@andrewpulle315 same bro, saaame
The five minute limit, and $500 limit for 5 unknown parts is too much of a disadvantage for low car. If you are on a budget, you have to research the parts to get a good value.
nolan should have got at least triple the time to research.
@@dirtrider88 I agree. I am using a $16 shift knob. And it’s definitely nicer than a 2g eclipse plastic shift knob. Nolan just didn’t have a chance to look for anything good. If you have money, it’s easy to just buy something expensive and it will probably be good
The poor lad who had to hide in the back of the car haha
18:13 I need to know what's the background music 😭
I just wanna say, for the next season of high low can we have James an Nolan switch. James gets low vehicle an Nolan gets high. I just wanna see how it’d differ, I loved the past 3 seasons but I think sum people would love the switched role variety
People say they feel bad for Nolan for getting the cheap stuff, but he actually likes building low car Edit: probably not as much when he's only got 5 mins to search, as this is way too little time to research low-end parts
5000 v 1000 would be the better option. 500 was too low, kinda unfair.
Makes for better content thoooo
YEAH I AGREE
To be fair this could be used as a public safety announcement to not skip out on quality parts on your car, i for one was shocked on just how bad those pedals looked.
TBH most people especially just starting out don't have 1k to upgrade stuff let alone interior stuff. Hell people buy max speeding rod coilovers for 400 and that's a more more important part of the chassis then lets say a head unit, or upgraded shift knob.
i think they should of done the smart thing with low car where they dont modify the part so stock parts to save money and just add wheel and gauges
I’d love to see a high vs low vs reasonable series.
High/low repairs and DIY projects. Imagine one team 3d printing parts and the other salvaging and DIY it in the best of their abilities. I'm thinking of using the OEM 350z gauges in the middle for my turbo IS200 build lol
I think that the whole point of this series is to find the best parts for your budget, but in this episode they have defeated that point by implementing a system where next to no research is performed and that's why Nolan ended up with cheap Garbage that broke. He even stated that He bought the pedals out of pressure and not because he thought it was a good deal with the budget he had. However I do appreciate the effort, and all of your videos are entertaining asf. keep it up
and that's why all the parts they chose were pointless to performance or quality of the actual car. As the main point of the show is to compare performance of the cars, this stuff was pretty insignificant so they really haven't defeated any point imo
I also think it has something to do with the engine rebuilds they had to complete. That really put them behind schedule for the series multiple times. It also shows the importance of researching and vetting your parts, a vital part of the show that we never get to see. It's a good reminder that spending extra time researching is worth way more than a quick decision.
Exactly, no point in comparing budget with expensive if your going to buy any garbage
The issue with donut selling out. They don’t get to run the show the exact way they used to and new “rules/ideas” get implemented that are *highly recommended*
kind of a them for this season. none of the parts bought in previous episodes had much thought put behind them
This episode although very enjoyable makes me realise how much this series could benefit from a middle of the range class
or even if Low Car got overnight to research parts purchases.
I'm surprised Nolan didn't take the way out of leaving certain things stock. Sometimes the factory part is better than the cheap replacement
Screaming “$45 OMP pedals!” at Nolan the whole time he was pedal shopping.
Can't wait to see how somehow the new stereo will make the engine blow up again
This sounds like a joke but it’s a Subaru so it may actually happen somehow
I feel like the time time limit placed on Nolan was responsible for alot of the wasted money
They should have given a $1000 limit for low car $200 a part seems reasonable.
Totally agree. Having a time limit is going to affect the lower budget shopper much harsher than a high budget. Also the fact that they used Ebay which is complete trash for this type of random item shopping. Ebay even made hi car look bad.
James's expression at 15:53 that is all
_when it's christmas but you have to wait for your little brother to open his gift before you can open another one._
represents the situation of the channel lately
@@daya1253 please explain for the class
As a Canadian, I will help James read the gauges
Truly the only necessary mod was the gauges on a track car. The oem versions worked well enough that on a budget you really don't need to swap out the wheel, knob, pedals or radio.
Especially the pedals, stock WRX pedals are great
I think they could also better (if they wanted improved sound) go for a 2din so only text head unit, instead of an infotainment system. At 2 din head units you get a really solid one at 50 bucks.
@@gercobosch2870 if they insisted on swapping for a screen unit, they could have gotten the OBD2 Bluetooth adapter and used it as the auxiliary gauges, this saving money. Also the install looking bad was their fault, not the head unit.
Not only that, but neither of them got a wideband (a/f), which once again shows these boys are out of their territory.
worked well enough...don't need to swap out Ah...that could be the mantra of my life.
Fun fact, James $1,600 head unit comes with Maestro iDatalink, which allows you to tap into the cars ecu to display the vehicles' gauges.
I had a 99 SF5 that was my hands down favorite car. Swap lots of parts from a WRX onto it, lots of suspension upgrades, stereo system. everything from the intake to the exhaust, even new rims someone took off their new STI. Mostly second hand parts from various Up Garages. Then had it wrapped. Had lots of fun driving it for the few years I owned it and multiple neighbors shaking their head at me for working on it in my parking spot. Good times.
petition for nolan to be high car next season
You can’t be miserly under duress. Saving money requires time for research and patience waiting for sales.
Yeah that seemed like an unnecessary complication for this episode. Would have rather them spent more time researching and explaining what they were looking for than just "time attacking" the shopping.
Agreed, give a Nolan a list and a month. I bet he'd kill it.
Yeah I totally agree. There are absolutely cheap options for all those parts that could come under the budget but you have to look around a bit. I also don't really like them only using eBay motors for this type of stuff. It's clearly hurting low team a lot. Amazon, AliExpress, and other normal stores have tons of options for this type of stuff. $50 Amazon head units can definitely be solid. It would also be nice to see Nolan be able to make the decision to not replace some parts. The stock STI pedals are great for example.
@@UnluckycharmsGaming eBay motors is the sponsor, so that doesn't surprise me, unfortunate they are probably obligated to only shop there. And agreed on the stock parts, although these aren't STIs.
EFI doesn't make more power than carbs. "upgrading" the brakes doesn't work. Points ignition is better for power. You've been lied to about the new shiny things. Buy Now!...These guys are cool but they have the American consumer virus.
you should've bought their old shiftknob for 5 dollars 😂
That was the best part, the best shift knob was already on high car lol. Figured low would of just snagged it.
I bought a similar NRG shift knob as Nolan did in the video. I had to modify mine to be able to put in a set screw on the side and it works and feels good. It is a shame that I had to drill and tap a hole to be able to use it properly but IMO worth it !
Hey guys, love your videos! This series would be more engaging if Low car had more time for research. Because that would be more reflective of a real world situation. That is, if you have a lot of money you can just buy top-of-the-line, but if you don’t have a lot of money, you have to spend your time figuring out what’s going to work best. So it makes sense for high car to only have five minutes. But it doesn’t make any sense for low car to have to figure out some piece of junk to buy in five minutes also.
Things usually come with a Swatch of the material so you can test cleaning products on it to see if they're suitable
I know it would be a lot to ask for, and it likely not to happen due to the increased cost and complexity, but this episode highlights what Ive been thinking for a while. I feel like we should have 3 cars, a hi-mid-lo series. For example with the pedals and shift knob. The cheapest of the cheap were literally no better than garbage, and the hi car expensive parts were so unreasonable most people wouldnt even consider it. There should be a middle ground, or the parts most people will really use. Low car shows the poor quality and potential danger of the cheapest parts, Mid car is an average real build, with budget quality parts, and Hi car is the insane, top of the line parts that most cant or wont afford. That would really highlight the parts where you dont want to go for the cheapest stuff, but also show where the most expensive are unnecessary. As it is, Hi car will win almost everything, because every part installed is that much better, and more expensive. However, the difference between a mid range part and top end might be negligible, in which case Mid car would be the best option, where otherwise it would be Hi car. For example, A $300 set of pedal covers are probably just a nice feeling as the $600 ones, but that comparison is missing here.
The mid car should be the seasons money pit car, practical and (hopefully) reliable
They should have a specialist on the vehicle build the middle tier car that way you know it’s what people would actually do. I don’t know a single wrx owner with a Garrett turbo in it.
True, but now we're talking 3 WRX engine rebuilds per episode...
@@firstjohn26 if they had someone who actually knew Subarus or broke in their motor then you wouldn’t have 3 rebuilds an episode
@@nickg1511 it doesn't help that they keep letting people who don't know how to drive, drive these cars and bash em into the ground.
From my personal experience it’s best to get close to oem shift knobs and pedals. In my Mazda 3 I did aftermarket shift knobs and nrg pedals. Needless to say they don’t hold up or stay on the vehicle very well. For my mr2 turbo I went with a stock 93 leather shift knob that is pretty weighted and did some oem pedals with the rubber inserts. Both feel and function 1000% times better. Overall go for weighted knobs and pedals that will got over the metal or drill on opposed to ones that just attach to the existing pedals
13:29 has me dying. The expression to him realizing that he was going to be told nope even if he was right hahaha.
I feel like this time high car is doing a lot better than low car by a heavier margin then usually, also this time limit kinda hurts the whole idea of this series, its not really a good comparison anymore
I understand where you’re coming from with the time limit limiting the possibilities, but this was just a fun episode that didn’t majorly impact the performance of each car, however I don’t think Hi car is much better than Low Car, each major performance comparison they’ve been pretty close, especially after hi cars multiple engine ending schemes
Up until the turbo upgrade low car was doing really well for itself.
@@matthewdavis3898 agreed
@@ragingviking5712 well the past few episodes high car flew massively ahead and while i get this was a more fun episode i feel like this show typically compares well chosen budget options to the highest end stuff and this one kinda killed that cause usually you gotta put more thought into low end parts and this one kinda lacked that thought process and kinda misrepresented the budget options in this case, they kinda talked about that in the video but i feel like it they had at least gone over that and had more of a discussion at the end like they used to it at least would have made that more clear to the viewer, its an entertaining video but doesn't represent the series well
@@ragingviking5712 oh and I wasn't complaining about high car pulling ahead by a lot, in this kind of car spending more money does tend to shave time off and even small improvements are very important and it shows a lot of the more expensive stuff is definitely worth it and a few things aren't
“they’re slippery, they look terrible, & i feel bad about myself” 😭😭😭
Let us 👆🏻 taLK here right away 💲💲🎁
I loved the Raceseng shift knob I had for my Civic. It was the perfect upgrade for it.
5:51 The cameraman in the back 🤣 Gotta love that Donut Media isn't afraid to show the peoples that are behind the cameras
The suede swatch is useful to be able to test cleaning products for weird effects or getting other interior parts colour matched.
I love this series and look forward to every episode. I do have to say though I prefer when there is time and thought put in the purchases. Because yah if you just do the cheapest thing you can find with little to no research it’s a good chance it’s going to be garbage. But doing proper research on low or high can make each item show real pros and cons. Long story short I didn’t really care for the whole time attack purchasing but it does at least show don’t make rushed purchases. Keep up the good work!
Totally agree. I think it could be even cooler if they gave a time limit to the high car and unlimited research time for the low car so we can see if a well researched budget option can stack up to an impulsive expensive one
Yes, I was going to make this exact comment! It’s not fair when low car can’t research to find the best accessories possible.
This episode should be called "How to throw away money if you are rich and stupid vs poor and stupid". Absolute waste of money. Don't be like this, do your research.
Yes they should know the 5 things and the budget then make a budget
you’re so right- the only way the poor can get a good deal is by taking copious amounts of time investigating for sales or cheaper alternatives with similar results and features.
7:36 I will come back to this for the backing track alone.

Nolan for high car!
It would be a cool switch up tbh
The next series name: High Low Low High
Again, no. He’s already explained that he prefers lo car team as it more closely resembles how he would build his cars.
Yeah I'm sure he doesn't say that because James is his boss
This season high car is truly going high with 2 cars and 3 engines I think nearly a new car/engine each episode
I love the big brother little brother vibe I get from these two in this series, they complement eachother perfectly :)
The proper "low car" approach on the head unit would have been to buy a blanking plate for the dash and do a stereo delete for the weight savings.
I love how Nolan answers the correct question and james says noooo lmao I love the level of friendship on donut. Been a fan since day one it never gets old
y'all should include a mid car. i think it would take the cake almost every time with this stuff
Should have gone with something like the Raceseng Ashiko for Hi-Car. The added weight (1.62lbs) makes the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts faster and easier. I love mine
I would like to officially request a video on tire chains. There are so many different chain options and some of them seem very sketchy. I own a pair of cheap chains that I pray I will never have to use. All you have to do is get some chains and make it snow in California. Thanks
It really depends on the vehicle and use. If your using a truck go with actual chains. If your driving a modern car with minimal wheel well clearance use tire wires or v blocks. They will no tear up your wheel wells. Chains are the strongest and work the best but require slowest speeds and moat clearance to not cause damage.
I think Project Farm is more suited for that one!
Sponsored by Ebay motors that guarantees fitment.... pedals don't fit needs modification.... Love that.
Wow, it's incredible how much of a difference there is between these two car stereos! I had no idea that the price could vary so drastically just based on quality alone. Thanks for sharing your experience and providing such valuable information for those looking to upgrade their audio systems in their vehicles!

Still waiting on an AOS and Oil pickup/baffle supporting mod video for these cars...
They don't know what they are doing I thought that was clear. They have spent enough money on motor replacements they could have iag long blocks in both the cars.
It's crazy how far they are willing to push this stereotype. Instead of doing even an ounce of longevity research.
This whole series is a joke. The have no clue about anything Subaru and didn't even bother to find out. Picking cars with such a massive following and shitting all over the cars and owners is rather stupid.
Yeah from my experience swapping my 2.0 for a built 2.5 almost every option they have put on has been awkward/ wrong. I think the thing that has bugged me the most is even when they tried to break in a motor they only went for 500 miles. Straight from outfronts websight it recommends 5 oilchanges over 3000 miles.
Shout to y’all and special my boy Nolan gets always the cheap car to build and still kick ass 😶🌫️🙏🏾🙏🏾🤣
Can we all agree that it was awesome that they brought back "Pop Up Up and Down Headlights!!!"
I have missed james and nolan breaking down which one they would buy with their own money on the subies. Keep that part at the end of each episode please!
Ebay motors cant pay you enough for that ad! That was great and funny didn't skip. And I'm going to check it out
Same, seems like they are winning that uphill battle!
for those who didnt know, the cheap unit had that usb port on it which happens to be how you connect your phone to the carplay, although i am sure the unit was still very crappy. It may have been better than portrayed
I have a 1st gen 12 valve Cummins. I went with a glowshift 3 in 1 guage. It does what I need it to do. The main indicator is EGT, then it has a little screen to show boost, and temp of whatever I want to connect it to. I can hook it up to oil, coolant, or whatever I want, it's currently not hooked up to anything. I have a manual, but if I had an automatic then maybe trans temp
I love this series so much. I wish I just found the Channel so I could binge everything for the first time again😂

i can't wait for the season finale, this is such a brilliant IDEA this should've been pitched to MTV as soon as PIMP my ride ended cause this feels like such a badass show for TV. and at the end you guys raffle the vehicles to one of your followers.. or sell it for charity. That would be great.

I think you did the shift knob dirty, Raceseng has some of the best shift knobs in the business. It would've been better to have purchased a knob you actually liked from them instead of their most expensive option (the one they got is made of titanium which is why it's one of their more expensive options).
We 100% agree here. They should have got our Stratose alcantara shift knob! If they respond to this comment, we'll gladly send them one.

Now that's super sick!! 18:03 😯
1:47 Sounds like the editor is a fan of “pizza time” by Chris Kogos.
I always love the beady eyed jealous faces Nolan makes when he is looking at James show off his nicer stuff.
Am I the only one who kind of misses James saying "I love you" at the end of every video?
I hope there is more audio focused series coming to the channel.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok
I would like to see that too!
they arent really car audio enthusiasts. why not just check out some channels that are more into that
God I hope not. It's not 2004 anymore, you can get a perfect sound system anywhere these days.
@@tbag6600 True, but donut isn't specialized in one car topic, so i think it wouldn't be strange if they talked more about audio and they've already done it once before.
definitely liked the low cars gauges better a pillar set up is the goat!
love the dude at the back seat
Killer queen's pushing bouton sound effect for the cuts is great
I got the same pod unit, but I got the Defi Boost Gauge, and 2 empty spots lol, They look amazing, but they are dammed expensive.
