Being from Wisconsin. This is one of my favorite channels. WCEC is where I first noticed Alex and his Z it was blue and never was running. It's crazy to see where he is now. This winter, I am building a drift car. You know where I'm getting my parts. Shop local!
Big shout out to the podcast. I do a Ton of driving all week for work, great listening. Great video here as well! Maybe it's me getting older but I definitely appreciate an oe+ build more and more these days!
I’ve had an 05 Civic for a little over 3 years now and I’ve done an oem+ style build with it so far. I’ve got the car cosmetically where I want it and I’m gonna start performance mods in the fall. I got the car did an engine and transmission swap immediately. Then painted the car and replaced door belt moldings, door window seals, painted all exterior the plastic trim, wiper blades. Flexi dipped the wheels. Salvaged missing pieces I wanted from junkyards and Facebook marketplace. Sourced grills, badges, and emblems from Canada. Refurbished the oem emblems. Fixed all of the issues I had with lights not working around the car. Replaced the lights behind my gauge cluster so the entire cluster lights up bright like day one. Painted my valve cover red. Now I just keep up on detailing her weekly and maintenance. As of right now I have one of the cleanest EP3 ‘s I have ever seen in person. I’m also biased.
i did a cheap build on my ridgeline. vinyl wrap was $500 on amazon, 100 dollar android head unit with back up camera, of course amazon. $800 ebay wheels with some 33inch falkin wildpeaks from facebook $150, also got a 15 inch kicker comp c from a pawn shop, super budget build 😆😆
Im hoping to buy a new daily, a Lancer Sportsback GSR (2.4L manual). My plan for it is to keep things simple for the next few years if i get it seeing i have the the Lancer Ralliart as the weekend/project car. But plan is, take the useful parts off my current daily, get Rota MXR-F wheels, install lower springs (off current daily) and do any suspension work that is needed and keep it as a cruiser. When i do the turbo upgrade on the Ralliart, recycle the parts from that to the Sportback a year or two later.
"Cheap" except where I live because the average income is $1000/month in my country. I like this channel but it is so out of touch for EU people money wise.
I've got some friends that live in the Eu and they tell me the same thing. Something I think would be interesting to know though is like the main differences between the types of things people do in the EU for modifying their vehicles versus the North American Car enthusiast. If there is much
@@zgreatoutdoors1376 It's not that much of a difference but quality is a rare breed here. Due to costs more people install cheap parts, cut springs and almost everyone has rep wheels. We don't see them as "reps", just regular wheels. The other factor is legality. US citizens can install almost anything as long as it passes MOT but in EU we have much stricter laws. Some countries stricter than another so we have more "sleepers" due to necessity so we don't get caught by police and have our cars impounded. If your car has optical modifications and those mods have legal papers so you have nothing to fear then people jaws are dropped. So when American youtubers shit on some cars because it only has a carbon hood, fenders stickers, coilovers and ONLY 400 HP to the wheel...my hearts sinks. I wish we had those...
OE+ builds are amazing!
Smoking the ricers in a stock-ish looking car is the best feeling 😆
Even better if you car is a grandpa car
I've always loved OEM+ builds since getting into the import scene in the mid-90s, and still love OEM+ builds the most.

As an brand new GR86 owner, it always makes me excited to see what others do with theirs so i can get ideas
