Thank you for the kind support Tavarish! I always watch and enjoy your videos as soon as you post them. Thank you for being such a positive influence on the car community too!
"Little things that add up to greatness" also applies to your editing work. You made a video about car cleanup that was more fun to watch than most TV shows. Congrats.
Tom, why is only Freddy pinned up there. Please have also Jafro up there right away! :D All the best to both you guys! Cristian PS Jafro, i miss your porting vids. Yours was the first channel where i subscribed in my yt beginings. :D
@@cristian6766 I was watching Tom's videos on his website nearly a decade before RUclips was invented. :D Years before I bought my Colt. We're all in the family.
Have either of you tried the alfa Romeo Mito? Just did a service on my mom's car. You need to take out the right front wheel, remove the wheel housing and if you don't feel comfortable bending a spanner for the job, need to remove an axle as well. Oh and did I mention that the oil filter is not one of those can ones that has female threads. It sits in a housing that needs to be opened and there is no chance getting a tray in there to catch the oil that comes out when you open it. Italian engineers, seriously...
Still the best channel on the internet! Been looking forward to this one. The interior options slippers was hilarious! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
I used to work at a Chevy dealer until I went to an independent shop and GM recommended using their ACDelco dielectric grease on rubber seals to extend the life and soften them up. It worked wonders on the squeaky door seals from gravel travel vehicles.
Tom, your attention to detail often goes far beyond anything I would ever think to do, and that's why I love watching these. Hope you're enjoying your AZ-1! The Suzuki Cappuccino is one of my dream cars.
I dont even need to get under the car to change the oil in my -97 Mercedes! It has an inline-6 with the drain bolt in front so all I have to do is reach under with wrench and unbolt it, its very near the bumper. Oil filter is a cartridge type on top of engine. Job done!
Can’t help but think a modern version of this cool little buggy would sell like buttered popcorn. Of course under our current safety regs such a vehicle would be impossible to build, but let me have my little fantasy, thank you. And thank YOU Turbo-Tom, for this most entertaining video.
The giddiness I feel when your vids come out is unreal! Maybe more giddy than you when project binky comes out! Love your vids man, keep up the good work!
Was just thinking about you the other day... as weird as that may be. Loved the video, small laughs throughout make these so enjoyable and rewatchable.
Awesome! I got hooked on your channel last year and was looking forward to another AZ-1 video. I cannot believe the condition of that car! Probably the nicest AZ-1 anywhere unless the factory has a 'never driven' one in storage. It's probably going to be a very solid investment.
Really enjoy your videos. Little mid-engines, I've found, often need a lot of parts removed just to fix one thing usually buried in the middle. The Orby character is quite funny btw.
Absolutely love everything that comes out of this channel. Interested to see the next video with the "while we're in there mods" you mention.I also dream of building a garage half as cool as yours and making a thunderbolt build of my own.
Was just thinking when is the next episode coming. Woohoo! Next job, clean the back of that filthy engine 😁 BTW - Pour the oil with the bottle the other way up. Doesn't glug 👍
My dad let me watch a road flare when I was younger we did some weird stuff in the 80's letting your kid stare at a super bright light not such a bright idea. He did tell me to look away from welders light though.
It's good to see another video from you it's been a little bit I think if you could I would appreciate and I'm quite sure of the subscribers with you I'm a big fan of you and especially when you did the Buick Grand National could you give us an update on that and some pics please look forward to that I also have one and it's what bored mean to you once I seen you had one doing it always been a fan in reference from the work you did upgrades trying to do some myself thanks keep up the good work
If you can find someone who can weld you the old steering wheel center to the new Momo outer piece, you could keep the factory accessory look and still have the smaller sized wheel. I say someone, because even tho i can weld, i still wouldn't trust myself and would seek a pro welder's services.
God damn Tom, i have been waiting for so long for this to come on. Crap that was a long time. What am i to do with my life until the next ep. Think i will rewatch the mx5 ls project again. :D Love you man!(no homo :))) )All the best, Cristian
Tom, thanks for uploading another video, but I've been wondering about "Thunderbolt." I was hoping for some clips of drag strip performance, dyno runs, etc. Yeah, your little micro cars are interesting, but c'mon, dude. They can't match a V-8 Miata in performance. If Thunderbolt isn't fast enough or doesn't have enough power, can you add a turbo or supercharger? Or is there another reason that you seem to have lost interest in tha car? Anyway, thanks again, and keep the interesting videos coming!
Hi Rick, thank you for the support all these years! Oh I still love Thunderbolt and drive it often, it's still my favorite and most exciting car that I've ever owned. I just can't really think of anything to make videos about. Nothing has changed in its setup, I just drive it to work and stuff. I've dyno tested it already, I'd like to take it to the dragstrip again, but I want to run the 1/4 mile and the nearest one is about 3 hours away and rarely has any events. I'm open to ideas for videos on it!
KingBryant, don't take offense at my reply to you, but do you think you're qualified to answer the question I posed? Tom did answer and said that he loves the Thunderbolt, it's his daily driver, and he just hasn't thought of any new videos involving that car. Still... I'd love to see some more about that interesting car. I would LOVE to drive that "super-sleeper!"
Tom, I got hooked on your videos when I watched some videos about "sleepers," which are cars that look ordinary but are anything but ordinary, performance wise. I consider your Miata with an LS3 engine to be the epitome of a sleeper car. It looks bone stock, but the V8 engine and other mods you've done have turned that car into a Cobra-like machine, and that is so very cool. Your newest videos are about obscure little Japanese micro cars, and they're super interesting because you are a very good producer of interesting videos. These newest videos are interesting, but you seem to be leaving the realm of making performance mods to making videos about super-detailing and cleaning the cars you've bought. I loved the vids about your Mitsubishi turbo cars and your stealth modifications, and would love to see more vids in this vein. In any case, thanks again for the great videos, and I'm curious to see your next ones.
FYI people, you can use Super Lube Synthetic Grease in place of Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease. You can buy a pound of it for the price of one little tube of Shin-Etsu.
Yes! Couldn't wait for this one!
me either brah, tiny cars rule

William Dye Thank you for the support all these years 👍🏻👍🏻
Removing your seats to get easier access to your oil filter. Gotta love Kei cars.
Haha, no kidding!
I used to think that dropping the downpipe on my Galant to change the oil was a problem. Now it doesn't seem so bad...
Tom, why is only Freddy pinned up there. Please have also Jafro up there right away! :D All the best to both you guys!

I like how the spare tire ornament shames you into tire repair.
So glad you and Summit are still working together. They chose well.
This kind of video always make me relax
Still the best channel on the internet! Been looking forward to this one. The interior options slippers was hilarious! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Tom you did one heck of a job with just detailing and the little replacements like rims.. This car is a gem... Great job!
Thank you sir!
This one slipped through my feed. Glad I caught it!

Lovely, I've been wanting to add one to my modest collection for years. Thanks for sharing...

Fantastic again Tom! This little car is so interesting and you're showing us how it's put together. Keep up the good work!
Shin Etsu is the best stuff ever made for weather seals. My 2003 accord coupe still has factory fresh seals everywhere!
Super Lube can do the same job for a cheaper price.
The man from the details 👍
Its always nice when the factory spare is a full size wheel and tire
This channel really is golden
Poor Orby....Very nice AZ-1....and great video thanks
The giddiness I feel when your vids come out is unreal! Maybe more giddy than you when project binky comes out! Love your vids man, keep up the good work!
Thank you for saying that Chris, I appreciate it!
Maybe you need to ease up on the 9:12 Chris.
I love your videos! They're hilarious, informative, and so much fun to watch! Eagerly looking forward to your next project!
Car gets more interesting every episode. Nice touches amigo, I really like the direction your going with it.
That Shin Etsu grease was great at restoring the seals on my S2000 softtop! It lasts ages too 🙂
Watch your back, Tom! Orby's "lawyer" is Bruno!
Brüno...
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos thank you so much!!!!
Was just thinking about you the other day... as weird as that may be. Loved the video, small laughs throughout make these so enjoyable and rewatchable.
Love how well you put your videos together
Thanks James!
Always so enthusiastic about ur work. Gotta love ur content. Love this little beast. K cars all the way man.
And yea great job Tom. 👍

Orby was talking smack, you sure showed him who’s boss 😂😂 great video Tom
To cherish Japanese car Thank you 日本の車を大切にしてくれてありがとう
どういたしまして！ 私の車のビデオを見てくれてありがとう。 すてきな一日を！
Orby stole the show! Too funny. Another awesome vid!
Thank you sir!
this was my favorite car and i couldnt find a series of videos on it until i found your channel #hooviecity

You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
I love this little car so much!
Man, I love these videos!
Thanks man! New AZ-1 video coming on Tuesday Feb 19th
Tom's Turbo Garage Nice! I’m looking forward to it!
It's been too long since we saw your content tom. As always thank you for sharing your car badassery
The editing, goofy parts.. love it! Wish i had the attention to detail on these projects! Greets from a few years subscriber 👌👌👍🚗💨
Tom, you're an absolute gem! Keep up the great work!
Tom.. we bow

Thank you sir!
I love your rare little AZ-1. I'd have it over a Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren any day!
Good to see the GVR4 in there too!
Hey Tom, thanks for the Shin-Etsu Silicon Grease tip. I just ordered one for all my vehicles. Cheers, Sam.
No problem sir, glad I could help!
That looks to be one super fun car to drive.
this is such nostalgia!
Nothin like a goofy tom video to start your Friday
I love the humor here
Really enjoy your videos. Little mid-engines, I've found, often need a lot of parts removed just to fix one thing usually buried in the middle. The Orby character is quite funny btw.
Everytime I see a new video post from you Tom its like Christmas!
Thank you for the kind words sir!
As always loving the videos tom. Keep up the good work.
as an owner of a 2006 wrx with the factory option momo knob, I need to get one of those OEM knobs on order ASAP!
This thing is too cool.
Thanks man!
I always like bigger car, but is nice to watch.
Yes, DO MORE!!!
I live in SoCal near a canyon road I would love to have an AZ-1. Your clean build from the Miata and the Galant is awesome!
Absolutely love everything that comes out of this channel. Interested to see the next video with the "while we're in there mods" you mention.I also dream of building a garage half as cool as yours and making a thunderbolt build of my own.
Orby's not going to sue, he's all talk.
Also, I really want an AZ-1 now.
It's a good day! Tom uploaded!
beautiful car
Nice Video Tom!
Thank you sir!
You have choice to get next car, that Honda beat or Daihatsu Cappuccino !
I'm an Orby fan.
Man id love one of these. Or a mini cooper
Was just thinking when is the next episode coming. Woohoo!
Next job, clean the back of that filthy engine 😁
BTW - Pour the oil with the bottle the other way up. Doesn't glug 👍
Car looks GREAT Tom!
Thank you Joe!!
Nice!! Too cool!!
Love the Honest Charley shirt man !!! And the az1 is pretty damn kool as well
Well now we know what PacMan has been up too!
😁
IKEA man's mechanic relative!
Second. Yes a new Tom turbo video. Luv your content Tom!
Thank you Jason!
From the MR2 community, those feet of coolant lines are great until you have to work on them.

10:20 my son was laughing along with me hahahaha
what, this channel friggen rules, why is this the first time im visiting it
Done and done! Hahahaha! Right there with ya pal.
Such a fun episode
the fluff is genuine AESTHETIC ricer
0:00 Hmmm, I wonder what this is all about... 0:08 OOOHHHHHHHHOHOHO! I get it.
This guy is an automotive dad joke machine.

Thank god. Not enough TTG in my life.
A remote mount oil filter relocation kit would be a good modification.
Would save you from having to remove the seat to change the filter... 0.o
You are so OCD about your cars, I love it. Been wondering how the little AZ-1 has been getting on!
Hey Tom, Cleveland TN has an old airstrip that recently closed. They may be convinced to let you use it. I am in Athens, so not far from you.
Woohoo! Always worth the wait. Turbo/intercooler time? :)
Hey mate, u should have used the STI 5speed shift knob as it has red stitching and would have matched the new steering wheel ;)
God damn Tom, i have been waiting for so long for this to come on. Crap that was a long time. What am i to do with my life until the next ep. Think i will rewatch the mx5 ls project again. :D Love you man!(no homo :))) )All the best,

The best manuals from Japan are from Tamiya. If you put together a static model or R/C you know what I'm talking about.
