      I like everything he's done so far besides the way that he ran his water piping and anything else under there that can easily be damaged by one simple bottom out if he wasn't going all-wheel drive he should have ran all that stuff up inside the tunnel where the drive shaft goes to the back on an all-wheel drive system these eclipses and Talons are my favorite I love the 4G63 motors

    Pro tip you definitely don't want to weld to bearings at all. They should be press fit or held in by clips. The heat and the arcing devastates them. The heat ruins the temper and cooks the grease. The arcing creates pitting on the races and balls. Bearings temper makes them hard and brittle so being press fit and supported all the way around helps them a lot.

    Pretty sweet build. Glad to have stumbled on this. Couple things though. With all the time and effort put into this, there's a couple bits of wiring in this video that could definitely be corrected. Last thing you'd want after all this work is for the build to go up in the flames because of a couple faulty connections. The main culprit is that large copper lug you installed. That copper lug isn't meant to be crimped. The proper way is to melt solder into it and then install the wire while the solder is hot and then use a heat shrink with the glue inside to protect the wires from pulling out of the lug or corroding.

    As a Scotsman, I can tell you that to be able to use the title of Lord you have to have a peerage, a peerage is only given by the Queen. What you are actually buying is a one-foot square piece of some field, somewhere in a remote part of Scotland. A Scottish landowner, which you now are with your small bit of turf, is entitled to call themselves "Laird" which literally translates to "Landowner". Unfortunately, 75% of people in Scotland are landowners, and thus Lairds. Fun, but not to be taken seriously.

    Mega impressive. Seriously. I know out here in the peanut gallery we're seeing hours and days of work condensed into less than half an hour, but what's being accomplished here is still quite amazing. One thing I'm still puzzled about though is breathing - I get that all the cooling is fine because it's in the front of the car, but induction and general ventilation of the engine bay (to cool ancillaries like the alternator), I don't see where that's going to come from - most mid-engines have scoops and vents in their hips (maybe a roof snorkel).

    As a tech you are doing an amazing job. People watching who dont work on cars just dont understand the complexity of this build. And it's the little things. Btw I hate wiring as much as doing door skins
