Had a lot of late nights with the homies fixing broken cars but starting at 2am is another level. The tuner and his homies are the mvp. Great ending waiting for EP 2!
I bought a 88 gmc Sierra 1500 for $750. in Oregon this last December. I spent $18 on a coolant temp sensor. Hooked up the tps sensor that was installed incorrectly by the previous owner. Ran perfect after that. Drove it for a week, then decided to drive it cross country from Oregon to north Carolina, with $600 in my pocket. Got 15-16 mpg all the way across. Slept in the camper shell that came with the truck. Ate terrible truck stop food. Arrived for Christmas with my family in 5 days with about $80 left. Done a ton of those type of trips over the years. Get out n have fun folks.
Those guys went out of their way to fix Ben's clapped out Eclipse at 2AM, getting a head on and engine started in 5 hours just so they can continue on their self-inflicted-pain of a youtube roadtrip special. I'm actually speechless. I don't know how I would even thank them in that scenario (other than with a large amount of cash).
These videos are insane. Not just the unrelenting dedication (when did you sleep during the DSM debacle!?). But also the editing. The music, vibes, jokes, etc. This is legitimately filling the void left for me by the original Top Gear trio. I wish both of you (Ben and Ben) the best, and hope you guys continue to make videos for all of us in the future.
As a longtime DSM owner the #1 thing I can tell you is ALWAYS change the timing belt no matter what the previous owner tells you bc people have a very bad habit of doing things wrong on these cars
Also nothing other than oem for tensioners, I used an aftermarket one and it lost pressure after only 500km, good thing I was tossing in a kiggy Crank trigger and I caught it before it wiped my motor out.
100%! I would love to know more about the logistics of how they got that arranged. Bros were awake at 2am to help them with the car, that's freaking nuts. Absolute Chad of a guy.
How relatable man. My first car since I came to the US in 2016. 2006 Eclipse Gen 4, 2.4L, bought it for $2400 in Dover, DE. I was excited as a cow driving with no plates to Ocean City, MD, and my timing belt did the same on HWY113. First towing and service experience within a day of buying a car. Damn if I'd known that my first car crash is less than a month apart LOL. 2016 was indeed the wildest year, it's always good to be 20 y.o.
20:00 "I saw it was making its way over and didnt try and change it" Ladies and gentleman even if you think its a minor issue, always check the smallest of smallest potential faults of your vehicle, just for peace of mind. Love the show btw :D.
You guys are the reason why i did my road trip . I drove 8k miles in 2 weeks from PA TO New orleans - California back to PA drove a 98 impreza wagon lowered and camp along side the road and national parks. Keep doing road trips like that
I will say with the experience I had with my 04 Rx8 through 15 years of ownership (4 failed motors, 2 failed transmissions just for starters despite doing everything under the sun you're "supposed to do" with a rotary) I am utterly shocked it actually held up, mind. blown.
Just wanted to say I really enjoy these road trips episodes. It's always a treat to watch these. Keep these episodes going and thanks for the amazing content 🫡
This is probably the best series in all of youtube.. i havent watched any of the roadtrip vids in 3 years and i come back to see so much for roadtrips vids cant wait to drill through it all 😀
21:32 PTSD triggered. Drove my Spyder GST to Cali from St. Louis MO. Had overheating issue at Yosemite. Had to rent same Uhaul combo to tow it home. Turned out to be a failed $9 radiator cap. Most expensive radiator cap ever.
4g63 and 4g63t have differences. Evo 1-3 used the same engine as eclipses, for evo 4 came bigger changes. And some new issues too. Common to see evo 4s with never evos engines for safety. Both of my evos had evo 7 swaps, for reliability.
DSM for life!!! I still have my 1998 AWD Turbo Eagle Talon TSi, modded to check of course, but interior is full and the only delete I did was AC, that's it. Still looks like she's off the showroom floor. Still on talk and tuners occasionally, but nowhere near like back in the day. I have been trying to find the bigger brother 3/S Sealth RT/TT . I've always liked the Stealth and Talon bodies over the Eclipse and GTO 3000GT
Is so funny how you talk about the RX8. I had a friend with one that routinely drove from FL to KY and they did nothing special to it. No premix or that weird Rev thing. That car had nearly 150k before they finally traded it in for an SUV. That thing was bullet proof
I think the key thing was that your friend's car was probably continuously on the road and not in a barn for four years. And then Ben swapped in some sort of special motor and anything special needs special treatment.
The rev is really only needed on low compression series 1 rx-8s due to the weak starter. Older rx-8s can use the series 2 starter to help with this as well. With the extra oil injectors on the series 2 (which the R3 is) premixing is less of a problem but I still do it in my 2011. Ben should remove the clogged cat before it causes damage to the engine.
That's because he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about I can guarantee he didn't buy it with a blown motor it was flooded he did do the deflood correctly but when they start they smoke like a freight train and will continue to do so until you clear it out which means either drive it or hold it to the floor intervals until it stops
Drove an em1 from Cleveland ohio to fresno Cali. I bought two loaves of bread, a tub of cruchy peanut butter, and two gallons of water. I only stopped to sleep for about 3 hrs at a loves truck stop about an hr outside of denver Colorado. As a broke college student going home, I crossed my fingers all the way hoping my 16 year old civic wouldnt strand me on the side of a random highway. It was an amazing and memorable trip tho and is probably why enjoy these series of videos.
I come back once a year and enjoy your road trips - I have to say, your production quality has gone way up. Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to finishing this series.
The fact you found a 2nd Gen GSX that looks so clean for apparently "so cheap" is crazy. It doesn't have a ridiculous paintjob/wrap and it looks like natural wear, that's a dream. Edit: 1:57 I retract my statement of it being a dream.
Totally awesome seeing this two JDM golden era icons rolling cross country on road trip! Super inspirational and relatable. Cant wait to see the next episode, subscribed!..
I think that these guys still embody what it truly means to be a car guy, they haven't sold out and become corpratized like donut and hoonigan this channel still feels human
i'm so proud of him like he my brother or something, lol. just seeing someone do EVERYTHING they speak into existence is both inspiring and cool asf to see
Probably my favorite melted cheese car from the 90s. Drove from Vegas to Ohio and back in a 1998 Eclipse GS a couple years ago with 234k miles on the clock. Some stretches I let it sit and eat at 120. It was a blast with its pavement ripping 140hp lol. . Didn't break down. I loved that thing.
I have an RX8 Series 2 GT similar to the one in the video, premixing isn't as necessary since it sprays more oil onto the engine that the S1s, I'm at 78k miles and still perfect compression and starting
So was mine, I loved it for that singular year but unfortunately the engine was going out on it so I had to let it go. I got an 8th gen civic instead and while the high rpm’s are fun in the civic I always miss the pops and burbles my RX8 made stock. I DO NOT miss the 14mpg though
So is mine! Still have it to this day though, luckily I have a spare engine (which I'm trying to rebuild currently) in case mine gives out. Hopefully you can get another one!
its not the cars its these guys, its the cinematics which is my reason to watch their road trip videos. fell in love with road trip videos and yea finally got a new GG road trip. kei cars were fun though but fav was the Alaska trip.
Always sucks to blow an engine, but on a road trip!!! Dayum! But your mentality and motivation to keep pushing forward is what makes your content so amazing. Keep up the great work and thank you the entertainment. Drink water drive on!
Glad to see new Road Trip content. I was bummed in the 2nd Alaska one you said you were going to stop/take long break. IMO your road trip content is your best content on the channel. Thank you!
This is great advice for all of us, even if we are old and crusty. One of my first new cars was a GLHS Omni, which most people consider fugly but damn it was a riot to drive. I did a cross country trip and enjoyed every mile of it.

Autotempest is pretty great, not gonna lie. Saved me a lot of time.
Alright guys you don't need to use an alt account to create a review
Also works in Canada which is surprising.
I think AutoTempest is a pretty cool guy. Eh has cars and doesnt afraid of anything.
autotempest helped deliver my baby
Found my last 3 cars on there. I love it.
love how the rx8 is in pretty good condition and doesn't hurt to look at, and the eclipse is just a vile, loud, beast
How dare you talk about that beautiful car
Its annoying how much i love the sound of an angry eclipse
The 4g63 just has a shockingly chunky low noise. Love it.
A good Condition GXS is now 12-15k that's why
@@brucebakker7179nah that’s the price of a gst, gsx are over 20k 😂

It's a shame Ben didn't have a see through timing cover so he could check the timing belt real easy - wait a minute

Yeah, I have to assume it was just an oversight. No one in their right mind should trust anything that guy did on that car.
💯✅
And if you remove the pan.... Bolts in proper spot.
Tons of amateur mechanics have touched these cars. Definitely good to verify everything.
Also nothing other than oem for tensioners, I used an aftermarket one and it lost pressure after only 500km, good thing I was tossing in a kiggy Crank trigger and I caught it before it wiped my motor out.
The person that designed the exterior of the RX-8 is underrated
Side profile 🤌🏼
That U-Haul intro was hard af
Music name please

That’s so cool that Ken did all that. He’s in a local NC group and I’ve talked to him a few times!
Ken is actually the goat

2016 was indeed the wildest year, it's always good to be 20 y.o.
Thanks Autotempest for helping to fund adventures like this.
I actually wonder how many engines/cars autotempest paid for lmao
It's actually crazy how many different types of shows like this Autotempest had funded in the past. Car Trek and Throttle House's roadtrip were solid.
Yes! Another road trip series. The camera work and editing work you guys do is just amazing. G&G is my comfort show
I know these terrible road trip videos are intense, exhausting, and emotionally/financially depleting. But goddammit they're fantastic. Thank you
I can hear the ending now. "It is about the cars you drive, but more importantly it is also about the journey with your friends."
Then they precede to touch tips ❤
thats hot
@@DarkHawk666
its not about the cars we continually had to rebuild, but the friendships we built along the way.
@@DarkHawk666Uwu :3
it's always about the journey and friendships lol

Amen brother!
I visit Pa to see my girlfriend and I live in New Orleans. Crazy coincidence
same these guys are the reason I took my trips to Seattle and Montreal from Texas lol.
Sick man, I want to do a trip like that so bad in my s4!
Relating thinking about driving to Seattle from La in my 03 Acura TL to visit my girlfriend
I will say with the experience I had with my 04 Rx8 through 15 years of ownership (4 failed motors, 2 failed transmissions just for starters despite doing everything under the sun you're "supposed to do" with a rotary) I am utterly shocked it actually held up, mind. blown.
"well, the Eclipse is no longer loud" made me spit my drink out of my nose.
Just wanted to say I really enjoy these road trips episodes. It's always a treat to watch these. Keep these episodes going and thanks for the amazing content 🫡
Can’t wait to watch the whole thing
It’s himmmmm
Where are the DSM folks here in PA???
I went to Import Nationals at Carlisle and there wasn't even a single GSX
When rcr comments it must be something interesting
It’s The man, the myth ,The legend
Holy shit it’s regular car reviews
Thanks for the great episode, all the hard work and time that goes into filming, planning and editing.
to swap a head and make the car run again in 5 HOURS is just amazing, i'm very surprised and congrats on doing so. Good luck on your roadtrip ben!
4:55 , this was peak cinematorgraphy . Loved the shots and the way both cars was moving . great video.
My favorite Series on YT.
This is probably the best series in all of youtube.. i havent watched any of the roadtrip vids in 3 years and i come back to see so much for roadtrips vids cant wait to drill through it all 😀

Rad story bro
That boy Kenny a genius on building dsms. Good job helping these poor souls traveling on these bad care cars.
Is a fully built eclipse motor more reliable than a fully built evo motor?
Depending the Evo
It’s more reliable than a fully built sti
@Dcdc956 that's fk true😂
4g63 and 4g63t have differences. Evo 1-3 used the same engine as eclipses, for evo 4 came bigger changes. And some new issues too. Common to see evo 4s with never evos engines for safety. Both of my evos had evo 7 swaps, for reliability.
Every generation tried to fix issues and faults for the next evolution.
These road trip videos FIRE ME UP! I love that you include the mpg and all small details
Just lost my CL9 TSX yesterday after being rear ended. This does bring me some joy back after losing my beloved car. Thanks Ben and Ben!
Sorry for your loss man :c That's horrible

What kill rotary engines are short drives, and never letting it fully heat up.

when an rx8 r3 is in high gear and just cruising at around 65 its surprisingly efficient . loved mines
I get around 18-20 on road trips on mine. My Silverado 5.3 gets about the same mpg but it's about the smiles per gallon
What rpm did you cruise at lets say 70mph? I wonder how those things are geared
@@arlowelee They run in the 4k range at interstate speeds.
@@ScottJ175 Dam thats crazy. Even my Honda only is about 3500 at 70. interesting thanks
Yeah I usually average around 20 mpg with mostly highway and some city driving. I bet the rx8 in the video had a clogged cat which destroys mpgs
I love these roadtrips series, actually so fun to watch!
Best I managed back in the day when I owned my RX8 was 23.7 interstate mpg. And I still feel good about that.
Best I ever got in my RX8 was 14mpg I shit you not and I tracked my gas mileage at every fill up for a year
Mine was 22.5mpg highway driving and that was with a ported motor
@modelrc9500 that's what I'm at with mine but it's got 120,000 and still kickin I'm not going to complain 😅
In my personal opinion, this is the most awaited videos from Gears and gasoline and I am one of them. Really love road trips from Gears and gasoline
AutoTempest rocks !
Finally the yearly road trip ! Thanks for the entertainment, guys, it's really needed at the moment !
Autotempest really is the best. They are keeping RUclips road trips going!
Also the slow zoom on Ben L eating a whole loaf of bread was so good.
I appreciate Autotempest sponsoring entertaining automotive adventures in addition to providing a convenient car search tool.

i'm so proud of him like he my brother or something, lol. just seeing someone do EVERYTHING they speak into existence is both inspiring and cool asf to see
Is it time to consider using a ramp-back truck as a chase vehicle for these cross-country road trips?
That would be too smart
Thanks!
Got my cup of coffee! Perfect Saturday morning.
starbucks?
most unrealible road trip in the world and I love it, I guess my next car will be an RX-8
ROAD TRIP.. ROAD TRIP!!! I love it when these boys take the beasts out on the open road. The next 28 min are now activated BLISS 😊🤘🏼🙌🏼

Nice, any boost, upgrades or stock swap?
It doesn't need boost with 8 cylinders...
You will have smiles for miles with ls7 😅
Top tier editing. The ending with the startup was greatness.

As a longtime RX8 owner the #1 thing I can tell you is ALWAYS Premix, Rev high, and Don't look at the gas gage!

as a rx8 owner and drifter..... LOVE THIS
Nice episode this video i always wanted to see . Watching from Philippines
I love that it didn't end in a cliffhanger.
More roadtrips!🎉
My first car was an RX-8. Thanks for taking me on a nostalgia road trip, as well.
So was mine, I loved it for that singular year but unfortunately the engine was going out on it so I had to let it go. I got an 8th gen civic instead and while the high rpm’s are fun in the civic I always miss the pops and burbles my RX8 made stock. I DO NOT miss the 14mpg though
So is mine! Still have it to this day though, luckily I have a spare engine (which I'm trying to rebuild currently) in case mine gives out. Hopefully you can get another one!
I love this series! Better than anything on "TV".
Kenny really is the man! ♥
The cinematography and editing on these road trip videos is top notch
Let's go!!! Roadtrip Time!! 🔥🔥🔥
27:31 that scratch is something we all can relate too.
I'm glad to see your guys back to the road trip
Honestly I've been missing roadtrips by you guys. Thanks for running it again 🙏🏻
My favorite roadtrip series is back!
its not the cars its these guys, its the cinematics which is my reason to watch their road trip videos. fell in love with road trip videos and yea finally got a new GG road trip. kei cars were fun though but fav was the Alaska trip.
So excited for this road trip!!!

P0420 codes go together with RX8’s like bread and butter
10:32 It literally sounds like a tractor when it takes off just putting along. Autotempest rocks!
Ben's "Walmart shopping" was ridiculous 😂 you could've bought cheap white sliced bread, store brand peanut butter, and cheaper energy drinks...

Finally a new road trip!!! 🎉❤
The best series o YT has returned. You both are fantastic story tellers.
I was working at a Mazda dealership when the RX8 was new. And I remember being absolutely blown away at how terrible the factory gas mileage was.
@Gears and Gasoline: I really love your Road-Trips and all the builds you do. Thank you a lot ^^
Kenny rules. 5 hours to a running car after throwing a belt? Damn.
Me and my best mate are currently in the process of planning a road trip around our whole country inspired by you guys love your content keep it up
The Ben editing cut scene💀😂
This is great advice for all of us, even if we are old and crusty. One of my first new cars was a GLHS Omni, which most people consider fugly but damn it was a riot to drive. I did a cross country trip and enjoyed every mile of it.
Autotempest rocks dw i got you ben and ben
Atlast a new road trip. Been waiting for a long time and I thought there will be no more roadtrip.
THANK YOU GEARS AND GASOLINE FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
Shit I'd sell the car and fly back at the end if the trip lmao
You guys are so cool. You guys remind me of the Grand Tour series. Good laughs, bad things happen. Keep up the great work!
