I like you. Planning on doing videos like this as your car progresses? Would be a huge help for a lot of people. I'm amazed how easy everything came apart for you, doing the same thing here where everything underneath the car is rusted together would be a little less fun.

Thanks for the kind words!

As for "everything came apart easy for you" well... that shows the power of good editing. With setting up 3 cameras, audio recorder, wireless mics and lights, it took me 10 hours to remove the stock exhaust and install the Stillen exhaust! I was so tired at the end, I didn't do a proper wrap up.

It was a crazy hot day (92 F) and everything seemed to go wrong.
Everything takes 4-5 times longer when you need to determine the best camera angles, lighting and script.

With all that said, after 20+ hours of editing and removing the "boring stuff" I was mostly happy with the result.

TL;DR: It was edited to make everything work perfectly the first time.


As for future videos, in July/August/September I shot 14 other episodes that are currently in post-production and will be announced every second Friday. Rear brake pad replacement will be available on Nov 25.

Hello, just a silly question, how much torque did you put on the four bolts holding axle back?


Thank you so much

That's a good question but I only have a "so so" answer:
"Snug plus a bit (about 1/8 turn)" or I would guess about 30 foot-lbs.
