How to deploy an airbag so you can throw it in the garbage!

How to deploy an airbag so you can throw it in the garbage!
why is this so funny
@thepyraminxqueen not sure if it's funny. But it's definitely a bit disturbing.
the shims for the control arms are there for alignment. don't lose count of how many were on each control arm or you'll be out of alignment. the diffs are weak on these cars if there's lots of backlash you have to reshim the sun gears with copper sheet and form them in a conical shape. easy to do, but if you're gonna race it you have to do it. here's a few tips on the cross shaft and and pin that are also weak on later spits like yours. with racing you may as well cryo the ring and pinion as well. traction concepts has a clutch type LSD that is fairly inexpensive. blackline has a proper LSD unit that replaces the entire insides of the differential that has held up well to racing rigiors. depends on how much you want to spend. there's race cages on the market for spitfires for around $500. cheers.
@nickyalousakis3851 yes sir! That's a heck of a lot of knowledge and certainly beyond budget. This is a "see how long it lasts" build before I find a donor miata and start swapping the rear subframe.
you did it. keep the frame maybe shorten it and reweld it back on mabe 6-8 inches tall

Doesn't the old mirror have the bottom piece that can transfer over to the new one??
@cbijames7 yep... forgot that part at the end.
Is that a Spit Fire?
Its what is left of one.... she was a bit rusty....
People see the state you keep your truck in and can only wonder if it's maintenance has been equally neglected. Nobody wants your sticky grime, common sense should tell you that
Kids need projects and animals in their lives to keep them happy and healthy, it’s our place to make it happen as parents 😊
When you close the laptop it senses it with the magnet and then turns off the monitor
Probably related to sensing when you close the laptop.
Knowing that you found something in the fuel line you should add a filter.
@davidrunk249 yes sir! I have one ordered. The old one was clogged pretty good!
I use my Cell phone for 99% of my filming and I also have a acaso action cam I use but not for audio because the Mic is so bad on it. I am looking to get one of those bore scopes so I can inspect inside engines and such. How much was that one you have?
It was right around 5 bucks. Totally worth it.
Spent 6 hours doing manifold and riser gaskets. 😊😊😊
@marclashley2062 one of my favorite jobs.....
It's missing a carburettor...
@@mazdaman1286 it's got a carb. Just no filter!
@@mattwagner9216 should have two...
@mazdaman1286 agreed. At some point it will get that second one!
My wife bought one of those death and destruction machines for me. It is seriously the most dangerous tool I've ever held in my hands. I'm not talking about using the weedwhacker type cutters, I'm talking about using the Skil saw type blade. It's unprotected and one slip just might cut through the artery on the top of your foot and kill you I used it one time and just put it in the trash it is garbage! If you value your safety do not buy this tool! And if you have bought this tool I would only use the weedwhacker tape blades and throw the Skil saw type blades in the trash.
Everything from China now seems to come with those exact Gloves.
NO WEEDS were harmed during this WEED WACKER review video. The handle was put on facing down and halfway down the shaft. At least you got your website named correctly..
I've seen other reviews on these things, and they've been positive for what they cost the fact that they're so light it is quite useful for the elderly The name of the reviewer was the struggler a UK diesel mechanic in fact he wanted a weed Wacker as you call them That fitted Makita batteries I don't know if this is a makita compatible anyway his father said don't get one it'll be rubbish but he bought one anyway and they showed it getting really worked very hard, going through docks and very heavy undergrowth really overdoing it that's the reason there's so many blades that's what can happen as the blades can get bent ,but you can buy replacement blades, they're readly available for not a lot of money You put the handle on far too low for a tall person you'll have to stoop too much having it fitted like that. Hear in UK they only cost about £30 amasing value. Sorry but you are far to Sceptical and biassed for a Reviewer. I do accept that some of Teamu products can be rubbish but they are in the minority and more often if you make a complaint they will tell you to have it for free and not even bother sending it back if that is the case. I recently bought a 4 wheel Dolly unfortunately arrived without the four wheels so I made a complaint to return it. The company offered me an amount of money off if I would keep it and I decided to keep it as I had four of the exact wheels that fitted it so this was a no brainer for me had also ordered a second one a few days after the first but that one came intact I have to admit I buy far too much off team mute but a lot of us are extremely useful little gadgets here in the uk we have to spend a minimum of £15 to get free delivery one real bargain I have had is a hydroponic tower garden the American version costs five or $600 team use version came to£67 however it did not provide a water pump which cost me an extra £15 it's an amazing bit of kit I have it in my living room growing stuff all year round I love it I would never have been able to afford the usa made one or could even be Canadian but the quality of my tower is excellent A lot of the products sold on Teamu are also sold on Amazon At a higher cost for the exact same product here in the uk it usually only takes five to seven days to get things delivered from China if they're light as they will be flown in the big object like hydroponic tower had to come via land that can take over a month which is fair enough also they're starting to do local depots and selling much bigger products now Giving Amazon and ebay a the run for their money
you need to higher the handle up the pole so you would not be bending over so much, would have been nice to see it cutting.
I wanna see it cut, too.
that extendable tube is exactly like the one on our vacuum
Talk about polishing a turd
you were supposed to turn the outside band and locate the hole that allows the bearing to be greased, not sure it will except grease without that being in line with the grease port
@@boboscar99 I figured this out a bit later! I had even marked the bearing before inserting it....
@mattwagner9216 glad ya caught it, I just bought my puller tool same as yours popped it right out. Getting ready to install today 😀. Happy boating, stay safe man
Bearing in, went like butter. Tip: Freeze it for 2 or 3 days before install and try to do it on a hot day between the two it should go in with just a few taps.
It takes about 30 seconds with a slide hammer wtf how is all this easier? 😂😂😂😂
I would have had that bearing out with a slide hammer before you even set that thing up 😂
Nice going Dan.
That Interior Cleaned Up Nice!!! I Like That Magic Eraser!!! A Good Vinal Cleaner Works Wonders!!! Awesome Job!!! Keep Rocking It Out Brother!!!
Just Posted A Walk Around Video Of The 77 Nova I Just Got For 500 Dollars!!! Keep Rocking It Out Brother!!!
Just Scored A 1977 Wellcraft Nova Yesterday!!! Twin 5.8l Fords!!! 500 Bucks!!! One Engine Was Shown Running In The Advertisement But I Find Both Completely Full Of Water!!! One Was Supposedly Locked Up But I'm Pretty Sure It's Probably Hydraulically Locked With Water In A Cylinder!!! Will Be Draining Oil Tomorrow And Pulling All The Plugs To See What The Damage Is!!! 25 Foot Twin Screw Bad A$$$ Boat!!! But I Have A Lot Of Work Ahead Of Me!!! Probably Won't See The Water Until Next Summer At The Earliest!!! Just Subbed Your Channel So I Can Keep Up With Yours!!! Keep Rocking It Out Brother!!!
Just found this. I own a Nova 23 XL. I plan to watch all of your content.
Keep watching sir. It gets so much better. These are incredibly well built boats!
What’s the problem? Who wants the inside of their car to smell like gas?
Sweet! Gotta' redo the interior of my 23 nova. It needs the stuff you did but also seat and side pad upholstery
The light kit is sweet. Bought the same kit to put in my 87
"Explosive devices" ...that they put in your steering wheel and aim at your face.
Been there's had that. Four old custom cars and 14 motorcycles all old a.d worth lots of money and no ambition 😅
😂
Why does your wife have a truck
We used to have a horse.
@@mattwagner9216 Use to, what did she forget it needed water?
@@corypeacock556 negative. Lol. But it would sound like her haha
Uh, yes I check her mileage. And her fuel, and filters, and fluid levels, and change her oil… if it’s been 15k since its last change, that’s on you homie.
Its 8,800 miles since the last oil change 😅
Wrong. That date says when it's DUE for the next oil change not what it was changed at 😂 that would be pointless. Says a lot about you not knowing sh1t but tries to correct somebody 😂
@@trujillo71921 oh you right so its 8,800 miles over whennit should have been changed
You’re supposed to be on top of that for her
No, because I change my own oil. #UgotSoftHands
It's out of gas too
Always is lol!
Wife soon as her maintenance light comes on she won’t let me rest until I change it!!
Never do that
Guy doesn’t know how to do math. It’s about 9000 miles. Car shows 246. Oil change was done at 237.
Sort of correct. Oil change was DUE at 237. 5k oil change intervals puts it at 232. 246 minus 232 is 14k and some change. So I exaggerated a bit lol
Might be time for her to have an EV. It's not like she's driving very far
I did everything your doing 10 years ago to the same boat! Lol. Keep up the good work!
😂 'Promo sm'
stupid ass video
I used toilet bowl cleaner to clean my deck as well but you have to rinse it really well off of any metal. It will corrode metal due to the acid in it. I strongly suggest using at least a dust mask. Also latex gloves it's ruff on your skin. If you do this on your trailer make sure you rinse the trailer well. I personally always wash the boat and trailer with a quality car wash soap after and I use a foam cannon on a pressure washer to coat the boat and trailer. I have no corrosion at all using that method. It also takes wax off so it's a good idea to was the fiberglass after.
Good job
Blud has a let's go Brandon sticker 💀 can we stop fighting with politics and just make this country *actually* better for a fucking change
I built this - about 2 years ago and I'm just now getting around to hooking it up but oddly enough. I agree with you
@mattwagner9216 you know what, I retract my statement, we chill, imo if we want this country to make it through the next 20 years, we need to stop infighting and get our shit together, we won't get anywhere if every debate we have is just insulting everyone else
Hell yeah protect your country and make it great again
Let’s go Brandon
