Go bonkers dude...
you guys should drive my p1 when im done in 3024!
@tavarish that soon?
In 3024 the P1 would be worth 100 million!
you might have to download your consciousness into a robot body to be around when it finishes
😂😂 you got this Tavarish!!
Boring build. Fix a 1986 toyota AE86. You won't.
Just a guy that likes fast minivans
How about a drift bus?
It's crazy to think I've been watching since the hatch was being built in the garage in your house. I can't wait to see the next project!
How about an suburban?
That's what's up kyle
Everyone loves a good sleeper.
A minute or so into the video I realized this is like a powerful high traffic high production KZhead channel just giving shoutouts to smaller and also very skilled creators as content This is pretty damn beautiful to see
I’m so glad I have an honest face 😂😂
Hey man love your videos 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I thought you were well known for being the first guy who integrated a game of where’s Woolley into fitting a engine. The games simple remove then refit the engine from your car. Turn the ignition on and wait for the disappointment as you realise it won’t start as you’ve left a wire loose or not connected. Next step is first to find the loose/unconnected wire wins.😉😂😂😂
A British cutie 🤣🤣🤣💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 glad I found your channel, like a year ago and you are killing it love the videos and the way your dad laughs at all you're misfortunes 😁
Represent! 🏴🇬🇧
I really appreciate the shout out guys as always! Appreciate everybody who supported me through the whole thing and watched the series 🙏🏻
Yo Dave, that S13 is nothing short of *epic* bro! What you do is a service to the car community 🙏🏼 saludos from Los Angeles ☀️
Hiiii daveeeeeeeee, I remember when you and do it with Dan were talkin and makin videos. Still watch both of you guys!!!!
Ur the shit bro we learn so much from you and donut
Thanks for being one of the head automotive creators on KZhead... We really appreciate the videos TDIB! ❤
Superfast matt and rob dahm got slept on so damn hard dude... Offroad viper, tesla-swapped jaguar mk4, a custom land speed car with a bmw bike engine... An AWD swapped rx7 with a 10 inch widebody and turbo 4rotor pushing 2000hp... And that's not even mentioning aging wheels' electric dual motor 900hp ford escape
Shout out to whomever came up with the Keep's ad... Priceless! Donut remains the only channel where I don't fast forward through sponsored commercials
It is only going to get crazier. Monster choppers will be considered vanilla pretty soon here 🤟🤟🤟
Looking forward for the Hummer build 😉😁
You guys are the best I love the videos consider using a r1 motor again it sounded so good in the golf cart
Please make something that flies. Will needs his helicopter!!
Love the work, guys!
@@chrislancaster6986 True!
Look at my driving. I'm chilled af
Can’t wait to see your racing season unfold with Steve and jimmy
lol, that’s actually funny comrade
fancy seeing you here misha
Looking forward to seeing you at the freedom factory in April at the freedom 500
True
This work highlights just how innovative and dedicated the KZhead car community truly is. The transformations are mind-blowing. These creators are pushing boundaries and bringing to life insane, yet fascinating automotive projects.
Still disappointed to see you guys not recognizing monster max. Not like it don’t have multiple engines from different types of vehicles all working together or anything 🤷♂️
Monster max definitely deserves a spot on this list. Let’s be real yall
I need to... what?! I can't hear you over my jet engine! I am humbled to be on the list with all these incredibly hardworking KZheadrs!
Toms refurb is one of the greatest up and coming car KZheadrs
Ong
"up and coming coming", dude got half a mil subs. He's up.
Absolute facts
Man's insane in the best way possible. I can't wait to see what he does with the Caddy Go-Kart.
@@BigAdam2050 you realize that to be up you have to be at a million right?
Junkyard Dave's AWD widebody Charger Hellcat Wagon should've made the list. ALSO the guy's over at B is for Build have been pumping out awesome projects for years now. Both Channels deserve more recognition. Glad to see smaller channels make this list besides the usual characters.
A suggestion to include in further episodes of this: JP Performance Granted, his content is in German, but him and his crew have built (and are still currently building) some crazy cars! Here are some of the most notable ones: -A Mercedes 500E with a V12+manual swap -An A90 Supra with a BMW V10+manual swap -Momentum, a KTM X-Bow with extra Aero, slicks and a twin turbo Audi V6 with the turbos mounted on the outside of the car -Thunderbunny, a Mk2 Golf with an insane custom widebody and a mid-mounted VR6 -A motorbike swapped Renault Twingo -The Supergolf, a Mk7 Golf with a RWD VR6 swap, an Audi A4 subframe in the front and custom pushrod suspension in the rear And there's a lot more! It would be awesome if you could feature some of his stuff on the D-List! -A full tube frame Mk3 Golf with a full Audi R8 drive train (with a lot of stylistic inspiration from James' Golf), which is an ongoing build and probably will be for quite a while
So good to see the D-List back!!
But this feels like an advertisement for mostly smaller partnered channels. Notice they didn't mention Whistlin Diesel, or Emelia Heartford, or Mighty Car Mods.
there is a build by jp performance ist a golf 3 body swaped tube frame r8
you mean the d-d-d-D-List
@ittimjones to be fair whistlingdiesel doesn't actually build any of his own toys anymore.
Fully agreed!
Nice to see D-List making a return!!! I would love to see other shows like Bumper 2 Bumper, Wheelhouse and Up to Speed make a comeback as well!!!
so real
I second that statement
Get this to the top^
Truth
Need more up to speed tbh
Surprised you guys didn't include Project Binky from Bad Obsession Motorsports. It's a Leyland Mini with the entire drivetrain from a Celica GT-Four. It been an on-going project for the guys for over 10 years.
Yall should check out BIY's 4v v10 triton build. Crazy amount of work went into Frankensteining an engine together
SuperFast Matt flew under the radar this time. Fully custom land-speed car? Off-road Viper? Electric swapped vintage Jag? Motorcycle swapped Honda S600?
Glad someone else is saying this aswell. Guess they had to make it even for the rest of the guys cause his builds would have taken 1st-3rd on the list haha😉
Fr… dont mat dirty
I guess being on this list is a problem for future Matt to solve :D
@@irfuel All Hail the Algorithm
He's not enough of a cliquey influencer.
So glad yall included Tom's refurb on here!!! 15:05
Right
Love to see D-series still in the mix, miss my 95 Civic with the D16z6, its a really underrated motor.
hell yeah love to see toms refurb on here his videos are fantastic ive been watching him for a while now and not olny is he entertaining but he really does his work and its cool to see people who really do fix stuff in a budget, but do it the right way still mad respect to tom go watch his videos
Tom's Refurb is one of the best KZhead channels. I love watching the descent into automotive madness.
He's a mad man that will not be contained
thomas refurbish
Surprised that Masutangu got noticed, but Tom deserves it.
Tom’s Refurb is so much fun. His builds are great. Pole Barn Garage is similar and the Holey Goat GTO is an awesome build too.
I’ve met so many great content creators because of Donut. To think some random video on my home page about mechanics react would take me in a journey of new creators with ideas and the steps to implement them to reality is such a great thing because learning even the smallest thing from a video has made me appreciate these channels more than what is usually on the trending/home page. Sure it’s expensive but if it’s something you spend so much of your life in then it will probably be worth it. It’s good to know that most of these cars are just because they can and it’s nice not to be sold a fantasy that anyone can but they give enough knowledge to me at least to know I don’t have to spend $500,000 when it’s easier to just upgrade what I have to maintain and have a better viewpoint. Sure I just got divorced after 10 years but she wasn’t good for me or my son I have no car but I have my son and dreams that are attainable so Thanks donut.
Peter Björck is currently building an awd Volvo 240 with a twin turbo charged Lamborghini V10 engine that's gonna be mounted behind the front seats. Gonna be sick
I love that guys channel!
Yeah he´s insane in a good way@@positiveenergyautomotive9724
Volvoghini and don't forget the dog
Didnt he already take it on a race week over in his country? And it did horrible.. don’t think it was finished but was disappointing to watch cuz i was all about that build..
@Z-Ack No that's his 240 estate with a stock V10 and rwd, this new one is actually gonna be a proper build
Awesome to see Tom shouted out, I bought his del sol off of him without even knowing who he was. Glad to see him get some attention!
I love Matt Armstrong! It’s the fact he’s working with his dad and they’re having the best time of their lives that keeps me coming!
y'all have made a couple of these vidoes but haven't featured the almost ten year build that bad obsession motorsports has made. they're not that known but the videos they put out are so in depth and the amount of custom work they had to do on "Project Binky' is insane
No matter how cool a ten year build is old before it’s done
14:26 so glad Tom is getting some love! That dude has such a good channel!
Tom's Refurb is prolly my favorite automtive youtube personality that isnt a larger company, his hard work, comedic nature, and dedication shows thru his vids and im glad to see him get his flowers so to speak 😂❤
Hell yeah
Definitely the best auto channel out there! Hasn't sold out or turned lame from popularity
Yessss!
One channel/build people really need to check out is "Build It Yourself". Dudes built a set of 4 valve heads for a Ford V10 and put them on a fully built block, got it running and they're putting it in a RWD converted late model Lincoln Continental. I get that they're not "Influencers"/part of the YT car influencer clique, so they never get the recognition they deserve, but everyone needs to check them out. It's incredible what they've managed to pull off. I guess they spend their energy on the build more than marketing.
Here! Here! Great Channel definitely check it out. One of my favorites
I Work at zumiez and i love ur guys stuff its soo quality!!.
So cool to see all these awesome KZheadrs getting the recognition they deserve! Keep up the great work, guys!
report this account every time you see it fellers! Bots!
An actual D-List video?! Is there hope for Up to Speed and/or Wheelhouse?!
i’ll say it for the men in the back … UP TO SPEED
Yea I wish they would revisit some of their old content line up
To be fair, all he did with the Plaidessy was move the body over on top of the tesla frame. Theres no interior. Its more of a body swap than a sleeper. If he had made it look like a stock odessey interior and all, then that would be impressive. Anyone can cut the body off a minivan and slap it on a tesla frame...
there can never be a "KZheadrs need to chill" video without Westen
A good damn D-list! Been days, but I love them all
my favorite channel on youtube. early for the first time ever! i still remember you guys made me a meme in your subaru forester episode years ago. one of my happiest moments randomly coming across that. love all of you guys.
Goose!!!! I didn’t know you’d be watching this channel heck yeah! EEWWH! 😂🪿
My man!! Love your channel!
GOOOOOSSSEEEEEE
What the fuck are you doing here???
Yo goose
I’d like to see your take on this video idea: what is the best kind of car to make for the apocalypse? You can do a video on which is the best kind of car to drive, but I’m more interested in what kind of car you should make based on the parts that are available if an apocalypse happens. The rules: By Apocalypse, I mean that there is no longer any infrastructure. Gasoline refinement is minimal to none. Same thing for any kind of parts. The only parts that you would have available would be those that you might find in a junkyard or an abandoned demolished car dealership that has been left abandoned for at least 10 years and is subject to the environment and the degradation of wind and water and so forth. Any kind of vehicle can provide parts, so long as you can justify being able to find them. The winning car should have the easiest ability to repair, the easiest ability to power, and be reliable in an environment where reliability is dependent on how well you can maintain your car, and how well it can handle damage roads, bullets and arrows, and any number of environmental hazards.
Really cool to see Casey get a shout out. I love the dudes channel. Been watching for 2 years or more now!
I feel like Superfast Matt's off-road viper belongs here...when he finishes it
That’s the first thing I thought of. Dudes got three projects that could be in that list alone, though one is already famous through Jay Leno. The Tesla Jag, the Off-road viper and his Honda s600 are all list worthy. The fact that the viper didn’t end up on the list when Donuts been known to love their dodges surprises me.
Super stoked that Tom and David got some love! Masutangu is a sickkkk build!
cartube is so crazy yet so friggin chill and welcoming. i love most car people.
I'd love to see superfastmatts Offroad viper featured when he finally gets it finished
Project Binky by Bad Obsession check that build out
That was a fun build! Hillbilly wanted it tall so I built it tall😂 definitely stands out in the crowd.
I really love what Igor Negoda does. This man is building a fully custom, self-designed open-wheel racecar with a Yamaha R1 engine, with extreme care to every nut and bolt.
A good one you missed, is by LowStandards, a Honda Odyssey converted to RWD using a 350z front and rear end with a 2JZ
Probably the longest build series on yt has got to be bad obsession motorsports Binky. The level of fabrication is out of this world and Binky looks fantastic.
better than any mentioned here
The level of fabrication is more than I have EVER seen, the level of fit and finish rivals any mass produced car, and the attention to details is above any I’ve ever seen!! An amazing build!!! Wait for the beep!
No love for Project Binky, the Toyota swapped 4wd Austin mini from the guys at bad obsession motorsports?
I own a Ford EcoSport and I love it. Try to do some videos about cars like I own
Yo I’m so excited for tom right now I can’t believe donut media did a video about one of his cars
Firstly, Donut have the only commercials I'll sit through and Secondly, James' energy and metaphors are unmatchable
Same. Sometimes I'll go back and watch it a second time to catch details I missed the first time 😂
- nominating the Mini 4wd aka Project Binky (as the fabrication is next level and the footage/production fun to watch) - creations from Mighty Car Mods (hilarious to watch, driven by passion) - Ferrari Challenge Stradale Spider of Ratarossa (next level details)
Nothing wrong with the listet cars up here, all pretty impressive, thanks for the vid Donut! that said you missed out one of the greatest builds of all time, the Quadra V-Tech from Cyberpunk 2077 build by Burning Wrenches He's not yet done with the build, but it's really impressive how far he has come since he wants the car to not only look like the quadra, but also have all the features and extras aswell
Brilliant video. All the team at Donut and jack black wud be my best pub crawl buddies.
So glad you mentioned Tom and Casey. Their builds are something else
Where is whistlindiesel lmao
He could have his own video he’s made so much shit
@@Evan-es9jr true that
I've seen videos like this from donut before and I don't think they've ever even mentioned him despite his popularity and insane builds. There's gotta be a reason he's not talked about, I doubt there's any bad blood but maybe it has something to deal with his persona like how he dunks on the car community a fair amount.. that plus the destruction of rare/sought after cars maybe wouldn't be good for donuts' viewership or sponsors I'm guessing.
@@yungbroc alot of the youtube car world doesn't want to give him extra platforms because his whole channel is devoted to making fun of them...I love him but there are alot of jokes about other channels that they may not appreciate. Everyone is too serious and can't take a joke.
@@erick3755 yeah exactly what i was thinking. I doubt Donut really cares about the jokes, but they still have a brand image to uphold being that they are one of the largest channels representing the car community. it's probably best they don't do that for the sake of "politics"
The fact that i've subscribed to all those channels and watched half of all the videos on the builds is probably why I deserve a car guy of the year badge😂keep up the amazing work you do
Love this type of video--great job!
Mat Armstrong and a donut collaboration / crossover is what we all need
No Project Binky? An AWD turbo Celica drivetrain stuffed into an Austin Mini!
right? Binky is the swap legend. Also where is the offroad Viper?
@@johndoe920 ir B is for Build .. the Jumpacan?
So glad this is back
Seen that mustang at Ford Nationals in Carlisle PA. It was pretty funny to see some of the people's reactions.
Great list. Thank you. Will check some of them out for sure! :) Bit gutted you didn't include Project Binky by Bad Obsession Motorsport. Original Austin Mini with a GT-Four Turbo 4WD conversion. Still ongoing to this day. But absolutely amazing! Fabrication is next level.
If it hasn't been mentioned before in one of these lists: the Hellcat engine swap into a Miata, dubbed "The HellKitty."
Another pretty crazy build is Superfastmatt’s off-road Viper or Colin Furze’s motorbike powered mobility scooter
I started watching Toms Refurb a few years back and he immediately became my most favourite KZheadr ever and still is at the top
You should talk about the French KZheadrs, Vilebrequin, who took a Fiat multiplat, and transform it until they had 1300 horse power
They already did it, but before the build was complete. Idk if they will do it again but it would be nice. Especially since the vilebrequin channel came to an abrupt ending.
@@ludwigfabre2019 really, I didn't know that already talk about it. in which video?
@@gabrielmornard not sure but if i remember correctly it on "car youtubers are out of hand feat hert"
i watch every episode of KC customs, its basically a s10 on air ride with a CRX frame sitting ontop of it but that amount of cutting welding and custom fab is nuts, ontop he does other car builds at the same time and gives them away, guy is truly a mad scientist with a grinder lol
🤣🤣 you’re not wrong lol
Have you guys seen "Home Built by Jeff" and his Alfarrari? It's an Alfa 105 with a Fezza engine swap. Bloody wild
I think we are in the Golden era of Car KZheadrs. Seems like they are filling the void that Top Gear left (the OG). There is so many and so much great content it feels like the bubble is going to pop in the next few years.
You should have mentioned the 1000tipla, a 1300hp Fiat Multipla who made multiple laps in the Le Mans 24H track
They mentioned it in an older "youtubers builds" video
You guys dropped the ball SO HARD leaving Aussie KZheadr "Low Standards" off this list. He has numerous cars that would have for the bill for this episode
You missed Build It Yourself's 40 valve twin cam V-10 they custom built and are stuffing into a Lincoln Continental. It's an epic project.
I can't explain why, and James don't take this the wrong way, but you're the personification of the feeling ya get like you're about to sneeze but then don't. I don't understand it myself, but I needed to get that off my chest.
Would've loved to see nightrides Kebin on this list
I worked at AutoZone for a few years and had a guy come in with a Fiero with a 4.9 liter V8 shoe-horned in the back. He said it would fly.
Dude's got some balls driving a Fiero in the first place though
@@promethbastard you have a point. It was gold colored with matching rims and interior. It was really nice. Said he can't take off in 1st gear most of the time because he spins the tires.
Gungium needs to be on this list the Miata swap is bananas
If you do another one for youtubers, you should check out the BuickMW from Cranked Up Motorsports
WHERES THE MULTIPLA FROM VILEBREQUIN
As a Toyota Prius who catfishes people as a Lexus LFA I will say I love donut
Hopefully there is a mention of Project Binky from Bad Obsession Motorsport.
Need to check out Build It Yourself. Custom 4 valve heads for a V10 Ford and putting in a Lincoln Continental
The donut channel makes me laugh every time i watch them
how do u have a mil subs w one vid?
@@blended_beansnothing about this makes sense
@@blended_beansbots is how
Yea your a fake ass bot.. bragging about how youre going to have $100k and be famous.. lol. Yea.., bromie an ai personality..
Peepee
So glad Mat is getting the recognition he deserves
I love that you included toms refurb he's a goat in the making
Has Donut seen the VW Squareback with twin front mounted flat 4 engines to make a flat 8? The thing is insane.
Nooo way!! The D-List just made a comeback!!
Glad to see D-List back! Though you guys should try magnetic nameplates for the list, it's less of a D-List at the end, and more of a D-Pile 🤣
They had magnets, but probably gave up on them because a few of them didn't stick right
So happy to see you giving some love to Casey’s customs and toms refurb I love those channels
Glad to see D -List back up and running 🐎 Shout out from Kingston Jamaican 🇯🇲 Up to speed is my personal favourite btw🤙🏾
Im glad Casey Customs is getting some recognition, he's definitly an up and comer.
How did Monster Max not make this list? 2 motors + Jet engine isn't crazy enough?
Yeah, I was expecting whistlindiesel to be on here especially with monster max
You don't tell Cody to chill
You missed some good ones from over the pond (UK). @driftworks E46 V10 swap with 10-1 header. Also there neighbour is a wizard at engine swaps and has a paketi evi with a LS!!
12:59 I wouldn't say it’s anywhere near “stock” if it's gonna have a different interior, no hybrid system, 1000 extra horsepower, a different body kit, and custom paint.
