Going to start work on my 1982 Cadillac Sedan Deville that was repainted in 2016 to be a Baby Blue Beauty!!!! Stock it was dark blue with the blue interior Buuut the repaint just makes it that much more special!!! It's a lighter shade of blue than Ford's Sky Blue color or whatever they call that color IDK, I had gotten the Car in 2019 drove it for a few months then had a Traumatic Brain Injury that put me into a Coma for a few months and the Hospital for a total of 8 months Between October 3rd 2019 And June 16th 2019, It really sucks because that came just about 3 months after I had gotten a FULL motor rebuild Kit From a company Called Northern Auto Parts, And while the 4.1L V8 isn't even that amazing It SURE IS smooth!!!!!! Soooooo.... HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!! As soon as I am out of a wheelchair (Disabled Not Handicapped) I'll have SOMETHING to look forward to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It may take me a biiiit to rebuilld the motor buuut Let's HOPE NOT!!!!!!!!! And Hey I live in South-West Virginia, Just head on down to Mooresville North Carolina and bam I can pick up a 350-454 Chevy motor For REALLY cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I respect that Alex. Still love the show regardless. Makes me wanna get out there and build my 2000 Lincoln Navigator 4wd some more. Already put over $2,000 into it. You are a true inspiration to everyone & I for one, want to thank you for all your videos & your time.

Also, this is the first time I've looked at comments since before Peter was gone. It's just not something I typically do because I watch on my TV. I assumed he was on vacation or found another job or something until I read your comment.

lol I found this channel tonight having some drinks doing business report for my college class and realized I subscribed prob a long time ago lol I love that you talk as much as me hahahaha!! you can relate and agree that I bet just like I tell ppl you would too that you think you got it bad hearing me? I hear myself 24/7 in my head hahahaha love the content gonna catch up all along thanks dude!
ps grabbing some merch from a couple cool channels in a couple weeks and def hoping you got that shirt you showed lol let me know if available in a larger still please
Thanks for another awesome episode Alex! I watch these videos with my dad when I visit him, he’s battling cancer, and I honestly can say it is medicine for him (and I) being able to enjoy each others company and not dwell on the negatives of his disease. I hope him and I can make it out to the meet up next month! I have a 15 passenger van myself - an 04 v10 ford e350, just got it as a family camper build, but boosting it seems like a better option than making it camping/off-road worthy 😂. I live in AZ, but my dad’s in the suburbs of Chicago. So maybe I’ll visit again next month and bring my van to IL and my dad to the meet up …Ford vs Chevy passenger van burnouts??
your videos make me feel like im right there with you ever since i came across your channel i've not been able to stop watching thank you for what you do and keep up the amazing videos
I think that blow-off valve (actually its divert valve) needs boost pressure on that small vacuum line. When it's on car boost from intake manifold helps spring to seal valve.
Yeep you are 100% percent correct learned the hard way 15 years ago not 17 years old not a lot of money I tested the it same way thought it was bad saved up got a new and new one did same thjng
This episode is awesome. My son and I are outside droping a JDM replacement engine into my 02' WRX. Remember a guy in a red Eclipse GSX smoking me everytime I saw him when I first got my WRX. Always loved Eclipses. To bad you don't see them to often. Thanks for saving this one Alex.
Love this channel so much. I have been a long-time follower and have loved seeing this channel grow and change. I think Alex needs to get another helper/ assistant. I know things didn't work out with Peter, but that chemistry was golden!
Doing an 18G install on my 1996 GSX and this video helped me out alot , I'll be doing gauges too but I'm going with the 3 gauge pod on the a pillar for now. Video is awesome glad I found this page!
I love this channel! Reminds me of those hot rod shows I watched as kid on Saturday Mornings. I came for your E55 content but i love how you branched out over the years.
Watching this reminds me of working on my 91 Talon TSI. I loved that car. But a cheap upgrade you can do is put the big 16g turbo from an older evo (3 or 4 I believe) but that will give you more boost and it looks badass! Be careful pushing that stock turbo at 18-20 lbs of boost, you might blow that turbo even being the first gen one.
Thank you Alex for always bringing excellent content. I was so happy to stumble onto your channel about 2 years ago and have always looked forward to your videos each week. As for projects, I just “finished” my 98 Honda Shadow 1100 and already jumped into a 1977 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon with a Oldsmobile 403ci V8!
Wow, great video! I am so glad I found your channel. Your editing, commentary, videography, presentation, humor, and demeanor are top notch! Always a great time! Keep up the great work.
This channel is keeping me awake at midnight just to watch what a fellow car guy doing on the other side of the world. Keep on keeping on Alex, hope to see a Porsche on the channel soon (for more than 30 seconds :D )
Got 2 on the go atm. 1 1977 Fairlane Marquis with 88000km on the clock. 2nd in an 85 XF Falcon ute that has sat in a vinyard for 6yrs not starting. First test of the engine last week and it ran well.
Omg reminds me of high school. Had exact car but blue and I set mine to 20lbs almost same exact mods you did just all old school stuff. Had greddy blow off and it always turned heads.
IMO, keep the tubing silver. Be a little different. Two stage the white with a midcoat with gold or silver flakes and make the engine compartment shine.
i wish i had this guys talent. my friend went to wyotech like alex and he is a hack. you either got it or you dont. i dont think anyone can learn to be as good as him
BAM! Been waiting for this one. As someone who had an Eagle Talon with the same engine and chassis, I’m curious how team LSC is gonna try and make this reliable. When these things run, they are screaming turbocharged lightening on a rail.
The only car that I've wanted as much as a Trans Am WS6 was an Eclipse GSX. I had a buddy when I was in the Navy that had a red one. My dream car of course being the GNX.
I had a GSX it was a fun car. I added H&R springs and Koni adjustables. Handled like a go kart. The transmission however is made of glass. It can not take any abuse especially with a good clutch.
Dude. I love all your videos. I really want to start an amateur car build youtube. Just by watching videos and learning how to build cars. Your videos are so detailed. I learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work Alex

@@yanosjr ...If he didn't want any speculation, then he shouldn't leave us to speculate on what really happened. My guess would be that he stole some things from the shop.
@@Rickbearcat If there is any legal action already taken, then, he can't speak to avoid any problems with that. That's my understanding. And if you read carefully, Alex wrote :"Please understand I can't comment any further at this time, and my hope is we can keep things respectful, and keep speculation out of this for the sake of all parties.

Love the eclipse I had a few of them when I was younger. That most built one I did had 475hp 525 ftlb at the wheels. Current project is a 1994 viper rt10 that I did a full rebuild and paint. Love the projects as I grew p in the late 80's early 90's these were the cars I had or wanted! Keep it up!
Max does such a great job editing and making the most of Alex’s humor. The cuts are perfectly timed. Even though we miss Peter (and would love to know more about what happened there), you guys really are firing on all cylinders right now.
Keep waiting I don’t think Alex is going to say anything. What we should do is on every video ask for Peter like if all of us keep bugging him he’ll explain a little bit. Maybe Peter was on drugs and stole money or part to buy drugs. 🤷🏽♂️ just a thought maybe that’s why Alex may not want him around or with the company.
@@Idkmaybeoneday I’d be careful tossing out wild speculation like that. There’s no evidence of anything Ike that, so there’s no reason to even put it out there.
I have aged out of the "working on projects" stage, so watching your videos is doing so vicariously. I have done my share in my younger days, though, on everything from my first $25 car, a 1941 Buick coupe straight eight, OHV, dual carb (factory option), up to working on the water injection system for a highly modified Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 1650 cu. in. P-51 Mustang fighter. I know and appreciate your excitement and occasional frustrations you experience! Keep up the VERY entertaining videos that keeps this old warhorse up to date out there in Chi-land! (I hope that isn't like calling San Francisco "'Frisco"!)
Once the DSM bug bites......it never really leaves. Enjoy it, they really are awesome cars, love your taste in cars really. For the face lift front bumper you'll need the headlights as well as they change 2ga to 2gb eclipse and talons. Rockauto is cheap place to get them actually.
Finished up shortening my single cab LBZ 4x4 Duramax (from 8ft bed to 6.5ft bed).. has a few mods but just ordered my fleece fuel pump and then cold air intake and tune.. excited for what it’ll make! Has a complete stock factory look and is beautiful!
I missed the peter updates. Thats sad. Peter and you were amazing together. The banter and everytvibg was perfect. Ive been watching before peter and will watch after. I really hope you find a new cohost who is like peter with a big personality and meshes well with you and bounce jokes off each other. Saw the articles of his arrests and things for the last few years. Looks like you were giving him a chance to tirn his life around. So sad to see someone so awesome to destroy his life and opertunities.
It's great to see and hear your enthusiasm about the DSM! They truly are the most fun and I've owned 6 (2 currently). Can't wait to see more. My GST is a 99 with modest bolt-ons and a Thermal R&D exhaust. Next project will be swapping out the old worn motor mounts with some fresh Torque Solutions solid mounts.

I've had two mostly stock 2nd gen GSXs. They are really great cars when they're working. Even stock they do have some reliability issues. The suspension is a really nice combination of good handling with a pretty nice ride. I did higher rate sway bars and I really liked the car in canyons.
I’ve been waiting for you to work on the eclipse. Always loved them but never had one. Right now I have been working on my 08 mazda 3, my brothers 03 Jetta 1.8t, and his 10 wrx. I love wrenching on cars and building something that is fun and unique. That’s why I love your channel.
I just read about Peter and I thought he was off for personal reasons but I am sorry about Peter he was great and always a blast so funny ! I hope it wasn’t a bad thing that happened with him he was a great addition to your vlog along with your A/V tech. ! I hope in the future he can come back and be back on the show best wishes to Peter and his family as well as your family and friends !🦅😎👍🏻🇺🇸The truth shall come true 😎👍🏻
I used polyester body enhancer to smooth mine and sanded it and painted. A friend did a pillar pod cluster with fiber resin and had good results Factory gray looks sharp with a pearl in the clear coat. Silver with a metal flake looks good on a 2nd gen as well
I love this series Alex! I had a mostly stock 1GB Talon that ran a 13.1@104mph at 18 psi on race fuel (stock fueling) with the factory 14b. Great car until it went lean and destroyed the motor....then I sold it like a fool. Enjoy the DSM journey and us old DSM owners are happy to tag along for some memories.
Love it. Always loved the 97-99 eclipse turbo. Hard to find in the shape you’ve got it. Have fun! Love reliving my childhood thru your cars!! We’ve got the same exact taste🤙🏼
Glad your spirit is still up after what you’ve been through Alex. No one deserves to be taken advantage of especially when your family is pulled into a mess that’s completely deceiving. Stay strong and keep moving forward. We all have your back and love you content. Great video as always.
@@randomdude4669 again, more context required. Without any facts to back it up, that’s nothing more than hearsay. Is there information online that backs up these claims?
Is it just me, or has it been weird without Peter in the past few videos? Miss seeing him around and joking with Alex. Their friendship is so wholesome
@@joyroc885 no. He did a lot of shady 💩. And still doing shady 💩. Even sending his "buddies" to come on the channel and push a Peter narrative. It's really sad.
1998 Lexus GS300. Supposed to be a daily but she wants to be a project lol. It's low key becoming a full restoration but i'm so happy with it. Oh, and your videos helped me do almost every single thing i've done to it. so thanks, I would be missing quite a bit of auto school without you.
Love the channel! Long time subscriber. Current project is my 2008 Trailblazer SS Blew up stock LS2 Just dropped in 6.0 Iron block upgraded everything from crank to valve train lol and went FBO! Side note BTR cam + Poly motor mounts = Massage seats
Great build for such a fun honest car. 1993 Audi URS4 is the project car. Still getting some maint. But has a ton of bolt ons. 5cyl 20vt and it’s my Eleanor of Audi land. Love this car like crazy
See the pinned comment by Alex at the very top. "Peter no longer works for Legit Street Cars and he’s no longer associated with Legit Street Cars as a channel, brand, or company. Peter is no longer allowed on my personal property or at my shop."
Im working on a 1995 eclipse gsx!! 110xxx miles gt35 with a stm standard placement manifold with an ets short route intercooler, tial mvr gate, tial q bov, magnus fuel rail, aeromotive fpr, fic 2150 injectors... the list goes on lol. The motor is a 1g big rod 2g piston "frankenstein" . Im so excited for your build i love these cars!
love watching the progress! Working on my 350z. Did high flow cats, exhaust, now waiting on a tune and then ill get into suspension/aero/etc... :P always something!
I got a super clean 1g, talon Tsi. I’ve gone down the same path you just did. And despite what the internet will tell you. DSMs can be reliable, mine has been. The engine is near bulletproof if maintained. Transfer case and rear end, definitely is the weak link.
My drivable project. 90 300zx twinturbo. Rebuilt motor and turbos. Larger intercoolers. Downpipes with full aftermarket exhaust. Need EBC and socket eprom on ecu. Then paint.
Been so looking forward to this build! The DSM is so clean! She’s gonna be a beast Alex!! I would with gray don’t think there’s many around with that color! Alex love the smile and laugh!
27:56 Check out audi's and their grays! I have a 2001 audi TT that's nimbus gray pearl and it's an amazing color! Same gen TT had another gray that is aviator gray, also a fantastic color!
Love the channel and seeing the Grand National in particular. I'm working on a 1979 Hurst Olds with a rebuilt Olds Rocket 350, th350 trans and 8.5" rear with posi and 3.73's. It's a fun car that puts out 360 horse at the crank. So keep the G body content going!
Hey Alex, grab some 600 grit wet and dry and a can of VHT vinyl spray in the colour and finish you want for the instrument surround and you are done, you can also go finer grit depending on the look you are after 👍
Im working on a 97 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD just got done doing the same upgrades for the evo 3 16g just need to do a few more supporting mods, convert to speed density, install Ecmlink and get it tuned.
Just an FYI on your blow off valve normally there would also be boost pressure on that nipple on the top of the valve pushing the valve closed when the throttle body is wide open. Once the valve body closes that would create vacuum on that valve and that combined with boost pressure in the pipe would open the BOV fast
My project car is a 1996 Thunderbird. Don't know why, but I've always loved the birds. 100% stock at the moment with 30k miles. Runs and drives mint. Currently designing a custom audio system for it using Audiofrog Speakers and some Gately Audio subwoofer equipment. I would like to keep this a decent street ride, but I haven't figured out whether I want to build up the 4.6L and pair it with a supercharger, or go full Coyote swap.
Luv these cars!!! I'm working on a 81 Bronco with a 351m. I swapped in a 10.5 sterling rear and a 44Hd ttb in the front. Right now I'm undoing years of neglect on the electrical system, and replacing things that need it like rubber bits ect.. it's a labor of love for sure😂 keep the awesome content coming bro 👍
Nice one Alex. It’s been a good few Autumn days here in Sydney. Cool nights with clear sunny days for projects and detailing. My current project is an MY09 E88 BMW 1 Series convertible. It’s an N54 straight 6 engine with 225kW and 400Nm. I’ve replaced the electronic water pump and swapped out the plastic charge pipe for a beautifully engineered aluminium alloy one. No oil leaks yet (now I’ve jinxed it) but they will get sorted as they appear. I’m now trying to fix the stone chips at the front which is really testing my patience. Keep the projects coming as they are very inspiring - Lloyd
My current project is my 08 BMW Z4 3.0si. It runs perfectly and the top Hydraulics are rebuilt now. Now to get a new front bumper from protuning design. And repaint it.
im pretty sure there is suppose to be pressure on the vacuum port on the bov too. they use a combination of spring pressure and boost pressure to hold shut and then a combination of vacuum on the vacuum port when the throttle body snaps shut and boost pressure in the charge pipe to overcome the spring pressure and blow open.
Love this channel! And i have no idea why Im excited for the next van video!! I dont have a van... i want to hear and see that Procharger van making boost!!!
Awesome video watching after my shoulder surgery have a 98 eclipse GST in the driveway I've been waiting for you to dive into this one to guide me through some of the process
Hey Alex, I look forward to Saturday mornings so I can kick back and watch your videos! I'm loving your dsm project and your oem plus build plan. I'm currently pulling the engine on my audi s4 b6 to do the timing chains.
You used the wrong intercooler kit. Turbo lag is a sob on a 4 cyl. You need a short route kit where the intercooler outlet to the TB is on the back, not the sides. It goes right between the condenser/radiator and the core support, might have to Sawzall a little bit but worth it for short route piping.
I am V8 swapping my 97 Dakota. The V6 that was in it was getting old and tired with over 270k miles. I enjoy watching your videos and all the things you do to the vehicles you aqure.

I think that blow-off valve (actually its divert valve) needs boost pressure on that small vacuum line. When it's on car boost from intake manifold helps spring to seal valve.
Yep. Definitely not testing it correctly.
On all the vw 1.8ts the diverter definitely goes on the other way , boost pressure will push up the valve and leak everytime.
Yeep you are 100% percent correct learned the hard way 15 years ago not 17 years old not a lot of money I tested the it same way thought it was bad saved up got a new and new one did same thjng
1g bov are metal and can hold a few more pounds of boost. Mitsu cheaped out and used plastic bov on 2gs
You just get things done the right way! The best channel ever! Keep going strong!
This episode is awesome. My son and I are outside droping a JDM replacement engine into my 02' WRX. Remember a guy in a red Eclipse GSX smoking me everytime I saw him when I first got my WRX. Always loved Eclipses. To bad you don't see them to often. Thanks for saving this one Alex.
I’m also a kid of the 80’s & 90’s and have always said ‘right on!’ I look forward to watching your videos every Sat. night. Thanks Alex!
Alex, I love and look forward every week to your show. It’s great with or with out a side kick. Just keep doing what your doing.
loving the selection of cars youre bringing to and working on with the channel. keeps me motivated to finish my 91 civic wagon build
Love this channel so much. I have been a long-time follower and have loved seeing this channel grow and change. I think Alex needs to get another helper/ assistant. I know things didn't work out with Peter, but that chemistry was golden!
What even happened with Peter??
Doing an 18G install on my 1996 GSX and this video helped me out alot , I'll be doing gauges too but I'm going with the 3 gauge pod on the a pillar for now. Video is awesome glad I found this page!
Love these cars. Seeing one with 250K miles and zero rust is pretty awesome. Looking forward to this build.
I love this channel! Reminds me of those hot rod shows I watched as kid on Saturday Mornings. I came for your E55 content but i love how you branched out over the years.
Watching this reminds me of working on my 91 Talon TSI. I loved that car. But a cheap upgrade you can do is put the big 16g turbo from an older evo (3 or 4 I believe) but that will give you more boost and it looks badass! Be careful pushing that stock turbo at 18-20 lbs of boost, you might blow that turbo even being the first gen one.
Thank you Alex for always bringing excellent content. I was so happy to stumble onto your channel about 2 years ago and have always looked forward to your videos each week.
As for projects, I just “finished” my 98 Honda Shadow 1100 and already jumped into a 1977 Pontiac Grand Safari wagon with a Oldsmobile 403ci V8!
Wow, great video! I am so glad I found your channel. Your editing, commentary, videography, presentation, humor, and demeanor are top notch! Always a great time! Keep up the great work.
Hahaha man I will never get over the intros you guys have been killing it with those and it is awesome to get a run down on the projects/plans.
This channel is keeping me awake at midnight just to watch what a fellow car guy doing on the other side of the world. Keep on keeping on Alex, hope to see a Porsche on the channel soon (for more than 30 seconds :D )
Got 2 on the go atm. 1 1977 Fairlane Marquis with 88000km on the clock. 2nd in an 85 XF Falcon ute that has sat in a vinyard for 6yrs not starting. First test of the engine last week and it ran well.
I'm so excited to see all the builds you currently have going on! Great video, Alex. Keep it up!
Omg reminds me of high school. Had exact car but blue and I set mine to 20lbs almost same exact mods you did just all old school stuff. Had greddy blow off and it always turned heads.
IMO, keep the tubing silver. Be a little different. Two stage the white with a midcoat with gold or silver flakes and make the engine compartment shine.
ALEX THE MERLIN HIMSELF. AWESOMENESS!!!! 🤘🤘🧙♂🧙♂
Sweet! Been waiting for more videos on the Eclipse! Thing is going to be amazing when finished! 👍
Alex your excitement for these mods and and for what you’re doing really comes across! Keep up the good work! 🎉👏👏👏
i wish i had this guys talent. my friend went to wyotech like alex and he is a hack. you either got it or you dont. i dont think anyone can learn to be as good as him
BAM! Been waiting for this one. As someone who had an Eagle Talon with the same engine and chassis, I’m curious how team LSC is gonna try and make this reliable. When these things run, they are screaming turbocharged lightening on a rail.
Nice! Use SEM Trim Black for you instrument bezel. It will closely match the stock bezel.
The only car that I've wanted as much as a Trans Am WS6 was an Eclipse GSX. I had a buddy when I was in the Navy that had a red one. My dream car of course being the GNX.
I had a GSX it was a fun car. I added H&R springs and Koni adjustables. Handled like a go kart. The transmission however is made of glass. It can not take any abuse especially with a good clutch.
My suggestion is that you can use BBS LM for your wheels, it would look pretty nice in my opinion 👀
Dude. I love all your videos. I really want to start an amateur car build youtube. Just by watching videos and learning how to build cars. Your videos are so detailed. I learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work Alex
Damn i LOVE this channel. Dedicated before Peter, and FULLY on board with Alex. Best there is
what happend to peter ? never seen him in a while
@@hamzakhan-lz2vx 3 weeks ago, Alex published this on his YT web page:
Hey guys, first off thank you so much for your concern in the comments about Peter. I’ve said this many times before, but I have the best subscribers in the world and appreciate you all looking out for someone that you’ve seen on my channel.
I may touch on this in the future, but for now, I need to let you know that Peter no longer works for Legit Street Cars and he’s no longer associated with Legit Street Cars as a channel, brand, or company. Peter is no longer allowed on my personal property or at my shop. Please understand I can't comment any further at this time, and my hope is we can keep things respectful, and keep speculation out of this for the sake of all parties.
I am going to keep moving forward and doing what I love most and that is wrenching on cars and sharing the adventure with all of you. We all have the decision in life to let things hold us back or rise above it and I choose the latter. Big thanks to my wife, family, closest friends, and to all of you. You guys make this channel possible and together we’ve created one of the most positive automotive communities in all of RUclips. I’ll see you all in the next video!
Alex
@@yanosjr ...If he didn't want any speculation, then he shouldn't leave us to speculate on what really happened. My guess would be that he stole some things from the shop.
@@Rickbearcat If there is any legal action already taken, then, he can't speak to avoid any problems with that. That's my understanding. And if you read carefully, Alex wrote :"Please understand I can't comment any further at this time, and my hope is we can keep things respectful, and keep speculation out of this for the sake of all parties. "
Love the eclipse I had a few of them when I was younger. That most built one I did had 475hp 525 ftlb at the wheels. Current project is a 1994 viper rt10 that I did a full rebuild and paint. Love the projects as I grew p in the late 80's early 90's these were the cars I had or wanted! Keep it up!
Max does such a great job editing and making the most of Alex’s humor. The cuts are perfectly timed.
Even though we miss Peter (and would love to know more about what happened there), you guys really are firing on all cylinders right now.
Keep waiting I don’t think Alex is going to say anything. What we should do is on every video ask for Peter like if all of us keep bugging him he’ll explain a little bit. Maybe Peter was on drugs and stole money or part to buy drugs. 🤷🏽♂️ just a thought maybe that’s why Alex may not want him around or with the company.
@@Idkmaybeoneday I’d be careful tossing out wild speculation like that. There’s no evidence of anything Ike that, so there’s no reason to even put it out there.
@@ivanjovanovic362 no I don’t think he did! They called it peters car in a few videos!
I have aged out of the "working on projects" stage, so watching your videos is doing so vicariously. I have done my share in my younger days, though, on everything from my first $25 car, a 1941 Buick coupe straight eight, OHV, dual carb (factory option), up to working on the water injection system for a highly modified Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 1650 cu. in. P-51 Mustang fighter. I know and appreciate your excitement and occasional frustrations you experience! Keep up the VERY entertaining videos that keeps this old warhorse up to date out there in Chi-land! (I hope that isn't like calling San Francisco "'Frisco"!)
you know what's better than your DSM videos? your ads. You're a great salesman, I don't even care about my lawn but I want to buy me some Sunday.
Once the DSM bug bites......it never really leaves. Enjoy it, they really are awesome cars, love your taste in cars really.
For the face lift front bumper you'll need the headlights as well as they change 2ga to 2gb eclipse and talons. Rockauto is cheap place to get them actually.
Where is Peter. You don't even mention his name anymore.
Finished up shortening my single cab LBZ 4x4 Duramax (from 8ft bed to 6.5ft bed).. has a few mods but just ordered my fleece fuel pump and then cold air intake and tune.. excited for what it’ll make! Has a complete stock factory look and is beautiful!
I missed the peter updates. Thats sad. Peter and you were amazing together. The banter and everytvibg was perfect. Ive been watching before peter and will watch after. I really hope you find a new cohost who is like peter with a big personality and meshes well with you and bounce jokes off each other.
Saw the articles of his arrests and things for the last few years. Looks like you were giving him a chance to tirn his life around. So sad to see someone so awesome to destroy his life and opertunities.
What happent to Peter ??
wait what did peter do?
What happened 😮
It's great to see and hear your enthusiasm about the DSM! They truly are the most fun and I've owned 6 (2 currently). Can't wait to see more. My GST is a 99 with modest bolt-ons and a Thermal R&D exhaust. Next project will be swapping out the old worn motor mounts with some fresh Torque Solutions solid mounts.
Where is Peter?... he would be "ON THIS!" Alex Keep up your great work Alex! J
Hey guys, I'm just looking to move on so if you haven't seen my announcement from 3 weeks ago here it is. Also, if you see someone asking, I'd appreciate it if you could just copy and paste my message. Thanks so much!

@@heyhey3069 sucks so much
Peter got arrested for swapping vins at the shop
@@melvingibson4525
Wait what?!
Ole Peter the pedophile is gone...
Ok, let's get this comment section going? Import Vs Domestic. Comment if you're into Japanese imports, American cars, or Euro!
I like fast cars. Wherever they come from.
Import my Honda will gap anything anyone else brings up in the chat.
German. Sorry, just my preference. It’s about more than just the 0 to 60 time… don’t hate, just my opinion.
@@ImRacer1 Lol. There are lawnmowers that can make more power than your honda
@@abie1308 and I can make a Honda do more than whatever v8 you take.
What a great result 🎉
I've had two mostly stock 2nd gen GSXs. They are really great cars when they're working. Even stock they do have some reliability issues. The suspension is a really nice combination of good handling with a pretty nice ride. I did higher rate sway bars and I really liked the car in canyons.
I’ve been waiting for you to work on the eclipse. Always loved them but never had one. Right now I have been working on my 08 mazda 3, my brothers 03 Jetta 1.8t, and his 10 wrx. I love wrenching on cars and building something that is fun and unique. That’s why I love your channel.
I just read about Peter and I thought he was off for personal reasons but I am sorry about Peter he was great and always a blast so funny ! I hope it wasn’t a bad thing that happened with him he was a great addition to your vlog along with your A/V tech. ! I hope in the future he can come back and be back on the show best wishes to Peter and his family as well as your family and friends !🦅😎👍🏻🇺🇸The truth shall come true 😎👍🏻
What happened to Peter??!?
I came to see what happened to him. The show isn’t the same without him.
@@moloono1uhhh the show was around long before Peter so it is in fact the same.
I used polyester body enhancer to smooth mine and sanded it and painted.
A friend did a pillar pod cluster with fiber resin and had good results
Factory gray looks sharp with a pearl in the clear coat.
Silver with a metal flake looks good on a 2nd gen as well
Soon enough every vehicle you own will be boosted! That’s wild to think about. Excited to watch this episode!
@@sys-administrator yes!
I love this series Alex! I had a mostly stock 1GB Talon that ran a 13.1@104mph at 18 psi on race fuel (stock fueling) with the factory 14b. Great car until it went lean and destroyed the motor....then I sold it like a fool. Enjoy the DSM journey and us old DSM owners are happy to tag along for some memories.
Back in the late 90s my buddy ran 12.9 on a ported 14b.
Nevermind I read your comment regarding Peter. Whatever the problem was I'm still rocking with ya Alex,best car channel on RUclips by far.
Love it. Always loved the 97-99 eclipse turbo. Hard to find in the shape you’ve got it. Have fun! Love reliving my childhood thru your cars!! We’ve got the same exact taste🤙🏼
Glad your spirit is still up after what you’ve been through Alex. No one deserves to be taken advantage of especially when your family is pulled into a mess that’s completely deceiving. Stay strong and keep moving forward. We all have your back and love you content. Great video as always.
?
More context please
@@MLB975 it turned out peter was a pos and was two faced
@@randomdude4669 again, more context required. Without any facts to back it up, that’s nothing more than hearsay.
Is there information online that backs up these claims?
Shut up
Awesome content every time! Watching you for many years, keep up the good work! Cheers from Poland
Is it just me, or has it been weird without Peter in the past few videos? Miss seeing him around and joking with Alex. Their friendship is so wholesome
Yeah was thinking the same thing. Anyone know if he is coming back?
see pinned comment on this video
@@joyroc885 no. He did a lot of shady 💩. And still doing shady 💩. Even sending his "buddies" to come on the channel and push a Peter narrative. It's really sad.
@@samsung40_media87 ah I see. Guess I need to read the pin comments more. Lol.
1998 Lexus GS300. Supposed to be a daily but she wants to be a project lol. It's low key becoming a full restoration but i'm so happy with it. Oh, and your videos helped me do almost every single thing i've done to it. so thanks, I would be missing quite a bit of auto school without you.
Where is Peter?
Read the comment from LSC at the top the comment section Peter's been gone a month of so now
Love the channel! Long time subscriber.
Current project is my 2008 Trailblazer SS
Blew up stock LS2
Just dropped in 6.0 Iron block upgraded everything from crank to valve train lol and went FBO!
Side note BTR cam + Poly motor mounts = Massage seats
Great build for such a fun honest car.
1993 Audi URS4 is the project car. Still getting some maint. But has a ton of bolt ons. 5cyl 20vt and it’s my Eleanor of Audi land. Love this car like crazy
No Peter 😢
See the pinned comment by Alex at the very top. "Peter no longer works for Legit Street Cars and he’s no longer associated with Legit Street Cars as a channel, brand, or company. Peter is no longer allowed on my personal property or at my shop."
Im working on a 1995 eclipse gsx!! 110xxx miles gt35 with a stm standard placement manifold with an ets short route intercooler, tial mvr gate, tial q bov, magnus fuel rail, aeromotive fpr, fic 2150 injectors... the list goes on lol. The motor is a 1g big rod 2g piston "frankenstein" . Im so excited for your build i love these cars!
love watching the progress! Working on my 350z. Did high flow cats, exhaust, now waiting on a tune and then ill get into suspension/aero/etc... :P always something!
I got a super clean 1g, talon Tsi. I’ve gone down the same path you just did. And despite what the internet will tell you. DSMs can be reliable, mine has been. The engine is near bulletproof if maintained. Transfer case and rear end, definitely is the weak link.
My drivable project. 90 300zx twinturbo. Rebuilt motor and turbos. Larger intercoolers. Downpipes with full aftermarket exhaust. Need EBC and socket eprom on ecu. Then paint.
Been so looking forward to this build! The DSM is so clean! She’s gonna be a beast Alex!! I would with gray don’t think there’s many around with that color! Alex love the smile and laugh!
i put a turbo blanket on = wow under hood temp way down . i also added bigger fuel injectors = with larger tubing and hoses .
27:56 Check out audi's and their grays! I have a 2001 audi TT that's nimbus gray pearl and it's an amazing color! Same gen TT had another gray that is aviator gray, also a fantastic color!
Love the channel and seeing the Grand National in particular. I'm working on a 1979 Hurst Olds with a rebuilt Olds Rocket 350, th350 trans and 8.5" rear with posi and 3.73's. It's a fun car that puts out 360 horse at the crank. So keep the G body content going!
Hey Alex, grab some 600 grit wet and dry and a can of VHT vinyl spray in the colour and finish you want for the instrument surround and you are done, you can also go finer grit depending on the look you are after 👍
My current project is a 1964 international scout it’s in great shape, it’s been sitting since ‘82
I want a 73-76 so bad. But good luck finding one that is affordable and without rust.
Max is killing it with the new intros 🤩🥳
Im working on a 97 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD just got done doing the same upgrades for the evo 3 16g just need to do a few more supporting mods, convert to speed density, install Ecmlink and get it tuned.
My current project is a gray pearl metallic 93 TA that my uncle and originally my grand dad owned. A lot of work ahead. Im excited though
Just an FYI on your blow off valve normally there would also be boost pressure on that nipple on the top of the valve pushing the valve closed when the throttle body is wide open. Once the valve body closes that would create vacuum on that valve and that combined with boost pressure in the pipe would open the BOV fast
My project car is a 1996 Thunderbird. Don't know why, but I've always loved the birds. 100% stock at the moment with 30k miles. Runs and drives mint. Currently designing a custom audio system for it using Audiofrog Speakers and some Gately Audio subwoofer equipment. I would like to keep this a decent street ride, but I haven't figured out whether I want to build up the 4.6L and pair it with a supercharger, or go full Coyote swap.
Luv these cars!!! I'm working on a 81 Bronco with a 351m. I swapped in a 10.5 sterling rear and a 44Hd ttb in the front. Right now I'm undoing years of neglect on the electrical system, and replacing things that need it like rubber bits ect.. it's a labor of love for sure😂 keep the awesome content coming bro 👍
Nice one Alex. It’s been a good few Autumn days here in Sydney. Cool nights with clear sunny days for projects and detailing. My current project is an MY09 E88 BMW 1 Series convertible. It’s an N54 straight 6 engine with 225kW and 400Nm. I’ve replaced the electronic water pump and swapped out the plastic charge pipe for a beautifully engineered aluminium alloy one. No oil leaks yet (now I’ve jinxed it) but they will get sorted as they appear. I’m now trying to fix the stone chips at the front which is really testing my patience. Keep the projects coming as they are very inspiring - Lloyd
Thanks guys. Love the videos
My current project is my 08 BMW Z4 3.0si. It runs perfectly and the top Hydraulics are rebuilt now. Now to get a new front bumper from protuning design. And repaint it.
im pretty sure there is suppose to be pressure on the vacuum port on the bov too. they use a combination of spring pressure and boost pressure to hold shut and then a combination of vacuum on the vacuum port when the throttle body snaps shut and boost pressure in the charge pipe to overcome the spring pressure and blow open.
Awesome video thanks Alex always a good time with your videos!!!
Great stuff thanks. Good luck with that car
Love this channel! And i have no idea why Im excited for the next van video!! I dont have a van... i want to hear and see that Procharger van making boost!!!
Awesome video watching after my shoulder surgery have a 98 eclipse GST in the driveway I've been waiting for you to dive into this one to guide me through some of the process
Loving your channel. Current project is 90 Zr-1 with electrical issues in the UK.
Hey Alex, I look forward to Saturday mornings so I can kick back and watch your videos! I'm loving your dsm project and your oem plus build plan. I'm currently pulling the engine on my audi s4 b6 to do the timing chains.
You used the wrong intercooler kit.
Turbo lag is a sob on a 4 cyl.
You need a short route kit where the intercooler outlet to the TB is on the back, not the sides.
It goes right between the condenser/radiator and the core support, might have to Sawzall a little bit but worth it for short route piping.
I can rewatch all your videos over and over your attention to detail and making cars great again is addicting
Your channel could not be any better. THANK YOU!!
I am V8 swapping my 97 Dakota. The V6 that was in it was getting old and tired with over 270k miles. I enjoy watching your videos and all the things you do to the vehicles you aqure.
