I know how it feels to hit road block after road block on projects. You've kept a great attitude and persisted through them... that says a lot about your character. Hats off to you Mike!
kinda feel like everyone who builds know this atleast in some fashion
This is 100% my favorite build on KZhead right now. Cannot wait for first drive.
This and Rob Dahm’s four rotors are my main reason to watch KZhead
Totally Agree!
@@galou haha couldn't agree more
This and Chris Forsberg building a new Z drift car.
He used the correct term "Heat exchanger" @SuperfastMatt will be proud!
This channel is going to pop. The edits are really good. Feels like a Fantomworks TV show but with one project at a time.
Amazing progress! I would rubber cap or somehow protect the AN lines just before the tunnel where they might abrade against the sharp edge of the (fuel tank i think) bracket with the die holes in it? Looks like a sharp metal edge. Maybe bend the metal over? something because vibration and time will eat the hose
The Hondararri is looking good! Keep up the good work! Real friends honor those who have gone before us. That shows integrity and love. Spot on.
I love seeing those little ad hoc jigs/fixtures when welding.
Looking forward to the story and e30 content, as well as getting the coolant filled 🤙
drove a 1986 325e 5-speed, sunroof, for 25 years and 250k miles. still passed inspection when i traded it in. Those are great cars, they drive good, i got 30 miles to the gallon commuting, and dead reliable. replaced one clutch, one radiator, and maybe 3 or 4 alternators. still had original shocks and struts. i would still own it but i just don't have room for 5 cars in my 3 car garage.
I need to go back and watch this series from the beginning, it's so nice seeing a build done properly
Congratulations on the build!
Thanks Mike!
Good friends are never a distraction. Especially when an E30 is involved.
Very honest welding 👏
Getting closer and closer to seeing this thing drive. Keep up the great work Mike
I’m waiting to see this car rolling down the road and sounding so very mean. You are doing a phenomenal job building this car. I am really glad I watched you chop up the fenders on this car. I watched that and been here ever since
AWESOME build, I love it !!!!
Love this build! Can't wait to see you drive this beast! This gives me so much inspiration to finish my own project. Thank you!
This is THE update I wait for!
Love watching the content you provide...keep it up.. favorite build so far
Such a cool build. Just discovered your channel, time to binge!
I get excited every time you post something about this build thanks for the content love it man!
I can’t wait to see this finished
Really love where this channel is goin. Shirts, tribute car and all.
Mike, you've been doing a great job with this videos, man! So stoked to see the progress of everything. Keep it up, man!
It's really awesome how detailed you are when you're explaining the process. Thank you
Amazing Work you have a Dream Car
Killer work Mike! AN lines are a real treat to work with in tight spaces!
Just found your channel and so excited to see this build! I've always loved the look of the 308 when I was growing up but then was disappointed when I learned that it wasn't even that quick when I was older. Gonna be nice to see one with some real get up and go!
Some years ago a friend went out on a limb and bought a neglected Maserati Merak in a "not running" condition. He persevered in trying to get the Peugeot-based V6 engine working. It ended up being a good-money-after-bad exercise. He fitted a Toyota 4-cyl DOHC engine with carburetors. I think it was a 2 litre unit. He reckoned that it was in keeping with Maserati's 4cyl tradition of the Typo 60/61 Birdcage. He fitted it in a north-south mid-engine arrangement with a different transaxle. It was an excellent solution. You have done a great job on the idea and the execution of a different and better Ferrari.
top welding mate and yes your welding is getting bloody good mate
New to the channel and absolutely love it
an endless stream of endlessly cool kit going into this rig.
Appreciating the slide at 5:20.
The panning timelapses are so freaking dreamy. Great to see you back to business as usual after the first start!
Your awesome Mike!!
Looking forward to the e30 and your friends story. Yay more content!
Function over pretty for the hose especially when not really seen sweet ride nice job keep on fabing
The wire/spring fixture you made and used while welding the intercooler fitting was great. I always get some great ideas from this chnnel -thanks.
Love the E30 and the idea behind it.
Congrats on the startup! Love your work, and you are an advocate for 'believing in yourself', I have to deal with a couple of friends that aren't always supportive of my ideas but you have to deal with everyone on the internet. You're an inspiration, keep pushing and can't wait to see the Ferrari on track!
YESSSS Bring on the E30 Content! I have a white late model 91 I've been fixing up to era correct "mostly" stock but tastefully modified.
Love the e30! My first e30 was an alpine white 325es that my dad purchased new.
Good stuff Mike! My first BMW was an '85 325e (gold BBS wheels) so I'm looking forward to seeing the work on your new purchase.
For the push lock hose you can dress it up with some expandable braided sleeving to make it mimic the rest of the lines. Should be easy to find higher temp ratings as well since its commonly used in automotive applications. I know the hose wont be seen but its one of those things that you'll know its there.
Techflex is what I've been calling it for wiring, and you just finish the ends with a bit of glue heatshrink (raychem heatshrink)
Love that BMW! An uncle of mine had one great memories, looking forward for this too 💪🏼
Wow Mike, keep going, I'm so fascinating with the Ferrari....My third car in my youth was a BMW 320, 1980, unbelievable handling !!!
Love the content. I can’t wait to see how you build a tribute to your friend. That is a really cool way to celebrate your friend.
Shirts….finally, that’s awesome Mike ✌🏽
Came here after the HPA podcast what a wild build can't wait to see this driving
The welding wire jig was genius
I remember when those Ferraris were new and driving a couple. Honestly, anything you do mechanically to this car is a big improvement over the original👍😀
That intro was badass.
Great work!! I would suggest running a purge when welding on tanks where there’s not a sealed surface on the backside. It’s simple to do and will ensure your welds are 100% clean on the backside.
So happy KZhead finally recommended your channel (after over a decade of following other car channels, wtf). Love the format of your videos. Honda and Ferrari power combined! What?! Subscribed.
The aluminium ancillaries around the Honda engine that you have lovingly created look superb buddy. 👏
I normally dont get into mixing euro rides and my beloved jdm rides...but this project is definetely impressive and I like your style...
you should look into using oetiker clamps on that rubber coolant hose, they are crimped on and super secure. they give a much nicer oem look over hose clamps too
Love those shape BMW’s 😍
Honor your friend. Awesome.
101% i will be late for dinner! need to see all episodes when released.
Oh dang, would love E30 content, also the Ferrari is as sick as ever coming together fast man.
E30 coupe, drool… perfect build The Ferrari being this close makes me real happy + merch ;)
It wouldn't be a build without some last minute roadblocks! Every project has roadblocks, but it's the ones at the end that can be demoralizing. Keep pushing through! Also, M E R C H! Can't wait to snag some when it drops.
That E30... 😍😍😍
Awesome work on those aluminum welds! They look awesome and I'd be more than happy to show off those aluminum TIG skillz :) As for the E30 the 'eta' cars get a lot of hate but I personally like them much better than the 'i' . I've had 4 E30's in period (first one back in 95) both eta and 'is' models. My previous 1987 Bronzit Beige 325e is still one of the best cars I ever owned and there are lots of great memories from my E30 days. Great buy on the white one and the story behind it makes it even better.
8:24 Hand Tool Rescue!
I absolutely love those bmws, it's my favourite bmw of all , can't wait for that project to start 👍👍
I love it too also my fav as well!
Just wait until I patent bluetooth water hoses.... The possibilities will be endless! Also very cool idea for the tribute car. I can tell the guy meant a lot to you, can't wait to see how that turns out!
lol wtf. I wasn't expecting the little pointing hand on a carbon fiber stick lol. Funny and helpful!
YES!!!!!! E30!!!! Awesome
Hell yeah Mike. That eta is gonna be sweet as hell, I’ve been on the hunt for a zinno one to replace my early model e30 that someone destroyed out here in the Vegas public roads. But with prices the way they are I may have to buy a less clean example, which makes me sad and unmotivated hahaha. Can’t wait to see what’s next and what you do with the eta!!!
Like you said in one of the early videos man wheels make or break a car so if uts gonna give you the look you want I guess it's worth waiting for
Haven’t commented in a while but loving all the progress on all the different projects. Really cool that you’re doing a tribute build for Cory, I loved following that guy’s builds over the years. I imagine you’re probably hunting down a set of Euro bumpers for that car, but if not, I’d be happy to donate a set of my High Dive bumper facelift kits for the diving boards 👍🏻
Hey Mike great video as always. Have you ever considered using some kind of motorized lazy Susan to weld circular things like your AN fittings? Seems like a good way to keep a single continuous bead.
I can't wait to see that skid plate installed. I'm positive it's going to be the flattest car on the track. For that I'm sure you need the wheels and suspension dialed in. Sounds good looks better than factory even in multiple colors
You came to santa rosa!?! i would have been so stoked to meet you!
The detail you put in is so inspiring! I’m planning a build for my BMW e60, and was wondering what engine you would swap into it? I have the tools and workshop, just looking for ideas.
I feel your pain with the AN fittings. I did all the oil cooler lines on Tony's 914-6 with AN lines and BRUH are they a bear at times. (Twin oil coolers to the front of the car with the oil tank in the rear is a looooot of lines and fittings hah!)
Finaly a quality engine in that car
I would surely recommend a thermal intake manifold gasket from Hondata or Speed Factory. Helps with heat soak from the head to the intake manifold. I cannot wait to see this thing move! Best Ferrari ever! 💯
Great progress 👌🏼 Just wondering, will You go for a WMI to cool down the engine/intake temps, when pushing that thing hard?
I think it will be a hightec car with all the beautiful technical parts. 👍 🙋♂️🇩🇪
I m impressed, really great build project. Just a comment, I ve seen no bleeding valves on the hoses just mounted. I m used to have several ones in my normal car. Could you tell us why? Thank you
I had an 86 Etta! Loved it. The only reason I sold it is because it was a four-door and I was young and wanted 2 door car. You have two of my favorite cars. The Ferrari 308 I think is one of the most beautiful body designs. And the BMW because it's boxy, cute, and will last forever if you take care of it.
loving the progress so far, do you have any plans for the finish of the intercooler? it looks like a great piece to have anodised (in black?) and have the stanceworks logo engraved on the top...
Wasnt a big fan of how it sounds but im a big fan of the work put in.
I'm curious what number project the Ferrari is for you. You've shown us a handful of projects and touched on a couple more. But the work you do clearly shows a history.
I feel like with such a high profile project, Forgeline could even send somebody out to you to take measurements and build some wheels. Wouldn't take much time at all.
just started learning tig and i started with aluminum... tough stuff.
It obviously depends on what you use the most but starting with steel would be easier to get the hang of it + it’s cheaper !
Wow that car is sexy!!! Amazing amazing build brother!! Can not wait top see it on the road.
Hi You probably need air bleed on your intercoller to get full effect of it.
Sometimes the simple solution is the right solution. Good choice on the coolant line. Remember KISS always.
Can you do some facts or things to know about the E30? Rust spots, weak parts to know about, etc? Tempted to pick one up
Those welds look good. You'll get better, but those are more than presentable.
Nice stack of dimes on that aluminum intercooler 👌
On your welding table with the holes, why not turn out a few pegs that fit snugly in the holes. They could be handy when you want to keep an awkward piece steady while you are welding it.
Hey Mike...your TiG welds *are* looking better. Practice makes perfect, mate ;) On a lighter note...do you remember a few months back that video you made when things were at their darkest and you had lost momentum? We all rallied round you in the comments section and now here you are with sunlight on your face and the fire in the belly is back. Social media at its finest...
its coming together nicely Mike, the e30 looks nice (what are your plans for it?
I notice the routing of the braided lines under the car are going by some sharp edges. I hope you are making some protection for the hoses to prevent rubbing a hole. Also hoses rubbing against each other. Looking good though.
