Hi!

That was nice!

Only one thing:
In the video you connected the yellow in the sohn but you didn’t filled with the oil. You should show that disconnecting the hose the oil goes down and when full connect again. So any bubble will be there.

Nice work!!
Kind regards from Spain.

Thanks!

I see, thanks for the feedback, it will come in handy.
When cutting the yellow tube, it got filled with oil and went straight into the sohn adapter. So when turning on the car, there was no air in the tube.

Oh well, its done and it works

Great videos, sadly, I liked them so much- I bought an RX-8 as a 'project car' for me and my 4 children. Youngest is 14, oldest is 22 (acts 14, but, the 14 year old acts much older!), and, there is a very smart, competent & intelligent grrl in the mix @ 17. All have strong opinions about what we should do- but, none agree with each other, and, I hate all of their ideas.

However, we all like your YT videos, and, generally agree to do some of your mods- a real life saver!

We all agree that you are probably a drug dealer in Slovenia (walk, talk & dress- drug dealer!), and, work part time as a bellboy, so, you can steal change from customer rides, in order to change the hay in your bed occasionally. My youngest is sure that you wash your car more often than your clothes- but, my daughter disagrees. Everyone wishes that computers could have 'smell around" like Sensaround from the 1980's- just to end the disagreement, but, such is life.

Finally, the kids were evenly split 2 for, and, 2 against- 1 video a week. Personally, I wish you would've stayed with 2, but, you kept quality up- too hard to keep it up once you've hit all of the topics. And, would prefer 1 good one (and wait), rather than 2 not so good ones...

Keep it up- it's rated Family Time in our house, so, you have several fans in bustling Epping, NH USA (Cultural Center of the Universe- Google it!) I have the bumper sticker to prove it.

Keep laughing!

Gathering info on rotary shops around the world. So if you know what's the best/nearest rotary repair shop in your state, leave a comment in the video

That's so great to hear man, i'm glad you've decided to embark on this journey that goes round and round.


hahahahah now that's a very well constructed conclusion, i give you that. But i don't wash my car that often, cause the paint job is not that perfect to bother with it at the moment. Once i get it repainted, then i'll start with the psyco cleaning extravaganza

Never heard of that, but sound awesome :D

Yeah, I decided to slow it down in winter, and save up some money for all the mods i want to do in summer. and Believe me, once april starts, It'll blow with new style of making videos and better content AND of course, much much better mods!
And back to posting 2 times per week

That's sooo awesome to hear, thank you so much guys!!!!

Say hi to all of you're kids from my side

PS: i'm still debating over this, but i want to hear your opinion over this:

Drift build & rx8 vlogs from April to december.

Funny series episodes like behind the apex seal Jannuary - march.

winter is pretty much the worse month to film outside, due to short days and cold weater. so i've though it finm 20 episodes of my funny series during the year, and release it in the dead winter season, to keep it interesting, instead of washed out topics.

Let me know

Cheers!

Sounds like a good plan! Also: your videos played a good part in my decision to buy my 8! I don't regret it, and I'd like to thank you for putting the time and effort in to do these video tutorials!
