Love the kind of content you're making right now man! Make the kind of content you want to. Ik I'm just a random person on the Internet, but I feel like if i was making content and it became sustainable I'd rather be making videos I enjoy making rather than what other people want. It just feels more genuine and I feel like people who do that have higher quality content. Do what makes you happy man! Love your stuff!
I like the hanging out in the garage style. I also like that it is still well edited and not too long. This is exactly my kind of content. Also love the vw engine in a drift car, obviously!
Hey Brett, I think what you mentioned about the theme of the channel turning into a "hang out while I build the car" thing is true, and it is working. You've got a great chassis, an interesting swap and a pretty cool looking shop. Maybe a goal would be to paint the inside of the shop? You gotta leave that sweet checkered spot on the floor tho.
Yes, I want to paint the shop a bit! Just not sure how much money i want to invest into it right now with all the e30 stuff haha. Maybe if the ad rev starts kicking up I will😂 and the checkered floor is staying don’t worry
I rlly love the style of the videos, they feel really raw and homegrown. It feels like we are friends lol. I don't normally binge content but I have watched so many of your videos back to back
I love the content, it feels like auto RUclips 5-8 years ago, your doing it bc you want to do it its a passion project, and I'm watch it because your learning and your sharing the journey with us. Feels like I'm in the garage learning with you and I could take what I see and use it in my own garage. Your just a dude building what your mind dreams up, and I'm just a dude dreaming of a build learning off you. Keep posting and I'll keep watching, 07K swap the world!!
Brett bro...Sending love from Jamaica Just found one of your IG videos this morning and found your channel. First of all, a five cylinder E30 swap is dope as heck bro. Do your thing and I await the results bro. Nothing beats a try but a fail my guy. You're pretty cool man 🤞💯
I like your videos, hanging out and wrenching. But I also like the slow and steady development in how you make the videos. If you have some friends with mechanical experience, bring them on.
I feel like keeping it the way it is is great. No need for someone else to be recording or anything. But it's your channel man I'm gonna watch no matter what cause I'm a vw bro and just wanna watch you do cool shiz
I hate to say it, but maybe can the E30 and stay in the VAG family. A manual B5 Audi A4 1.8T would be cheap to acquire, way more complete than the E30 you have, would swallow up the 07K like it belongs there, and the 1.8T transmission would bolt right up. You could kill several ducks with one stone. Just a suggestion. If you are hellbent on doing it all in the E30, I get it, but pioneering this stuff without a fabrication background forces you to rely on others, which adds lots of turnaround time to things. If you want to keep moving and having content to make videos with, waiting around for stuff to happen isn’t going to get it done. Good luck either way, I’m pulling for you. Your Mk2 content is legendary.
2 issues with that, an Audi wouldn’t fit through the doors of my shop 😂 and yeah I’m fully committed to the E30, I can kind of fabricate but need to go get a welder and what not but just don’t want to spend the money haha. Once the snow clears I’m gonna bring the Mk2 over to the shop and get some work done to that thing as well! I was going to do a b5 initially but as a drifting platform it’s not fantastic haha
Beacause of this video, i want to build a e36 with the 07k engine, a few friends tell me that is not a good engine, better may be the 2.5 t from volvo, but that is a very expensive engine, hope to see more content of this !
Just a thought. E46 front subframe and steering linkage (the RWD and AWD subframes are different) the AWD is more of a box where the rwd is like your current subframe. You should have enough room with the AWD e46 subframe I think
Yourestyle of vid kinda reminds me of prizzamike. Very organic and fun to watch, I enjoy both! I feel like one thing he does very well is opens up with a list of things he wants to do and goes through the process stupid by step, sometimes it doesn't work out but it's part of the process. It keeps things more realistic as opposed to a big team that gets it right first try every time.
Now that you mention it, your videos do give the same sort of vibe as Taylor Rays videos, which I think is a good thing because I like watching his videos a lot, but those type of channels are typically more difficult to grow like Taylor Ray has been floating around the 500-600k sub mark for quite a while now and growth has stagnated. Although I don't think that the growth ceiling is as high for channels like that I think that they have a more loyal follower base that is more likely to watch most of the videos.
It’s funny to hear how much the ZF costs in US compared to Europe (here you can get whole E39 with ZF for around 1.2k), but it makes sense considering your love for auto transmissions.
I was keeping up until you said Getrag was junk. Go look at the people with Getrag 260s behind their 2JZs and LSs. And it's the stock E30 transmission. G250s are much weaker and not to be considered but if you want ZF strength without the tax or the granny first gear, you're looking for the transmission that comes in the car.
Yeah I’ve heard mixed reviews, some say really good things and some say bad things. But it’s the same with the Rx8 trans. I guess we’ll figure it out eventually haha
@brett.mk2 yeah I've been told it's gonna grenade but honestly this thing has been a trooper I just know they don't like bang shifting at high rpm Love the build tho man

focus on what are you doing right now, stop thinking about future (which may never come)... just my 2 cents.
personally i prefer this type of content compared to say adam lz. u, prizzamike, polebarn garage, toms refurb, etc… r some of my favorite channels. it genuinely makes me wanna get out a wrench
That’s good! I guess honestly that was my goal with all of this. Show people that even if you don’t know how to do everything, just getting out and wrenching is the best way to learn. Thank you!
Love the kind of content you're making right now man! Make the kind of content you want to. Ik I'm just a random person on the Internet, but I feel like if i was making content and it became sustainable I'd rather be making videos I enjoy making rather than what other people want. It just feels more genuine and I feel like people who do that have higher quality content. Do what makes you happy man! Love your stuff!
Of course! I’m just happy to be making videos but I do definitely enjoy the kind of style I have going on right now!
I hope your channel will blow up soon, the quality is better than some big RUclips boys lol
Maaann I wouldn’t go that far😅 but thank you man I appreciate it!

Your style of content creating is more unique and raw compared to other creators which is getting to the point of copy and pasting. IMO.
Yeah I don’t want to have the same content as everyone else. I just wanted to get some feedback from everyone so thank you!
When you get to driving I like multiple angles, exhaust sound and high rpm rips
I need to get a go pro lol
Built it , beat it , break it , repeats ! im loving the video
Brett bro...Sending love from Jamaica

First of all, a five cylinder E30 swap is dope as heck bro. Do your thing and I await the results bro. Nothing beats a try but a fail my guy. You're pretty cool man 🤞💯
Feels good I'm watching an everyday person do cool car stuff and I'm ignoring my RA65 on needing to pull the head.
Lmao it’s okay I’m currently procrastinating stuff I need to do too😂
Everything is perfect. Just keep doing you and if people enjoy it they can join us. But I love the style of everything and ready to keep watching🙂
I like your videos, hanging out and wrenching. But I also like the slow and steady development in how you make the videos. If you have some friends with mechanical experience, bring them on.

Haha thank you! I’m trying my best to do cool shiiiz😂😂
Dude the videos are perfect i cant wait for more uploads cary on wrenching💪

Ngl it’s you, big time, and vintra for me my go toos. Really like yours cus I feel like I can attempt these things
Beacause of this video, i want to build a e36 with the 07k engine, a few friends tell me that is not a good engine, better may be the 2.5 t from volvo, but that is a very expensive engine, hope to see more content of this !
New here. Love what you're doing man, subbed.
Just a thought. E46 front subframe and steering linkage (the RWD and AWD subframes are different) the AWD is more of a box where the rwd is like your current subframe. You should have enough room with the AWD e46 subframe I think
Why not bb oil pan? It brings the engine down low enough and it’s straight up and down
Nevermind, I just saw the sub frame
Yeaaahhhhh 😂
🇿🇦 Can't wait to see the finished product. Please make your videos longer

Okay perhaps I could incorporate something along those lines, just so people know what to expect during the video. Thank you!
I love your videos. As a fellow BMW-E-30 owner, I'm invested in the success of this build.
I want to "swap" my E-30..
Thank you! And go for it! It’s a blast… 😅

It sucks haha. All the people not in the states are always shocked when i tell them the costs for a zf 😂
Do you think you’ll be at Carlisle Imports this year? Would love to meet you!
good ass build, good luck
Thanks man!
I like the format, you have time to find out what the algorithm likes. Play around with thumbnails or titles
I do try to change title and thumbnails occasionally, the algorithm is tricky haha. Thank you!
Cool vid👍
Thank you!
Getrags are very good trans ‼️
I’ve heard mixed reviews haha
Why not use 01e audi trans. Cheap at pick and pull
That’s like last resort. They are massive 😅
@@brett.mk2 they are a big trans for my is300 fits great
keep doing what your doing, let it grow organically.... you dont need another camera guy, yet.... and buy a damn load leveler for that hoist!
Bin the 5 pot and fit a VR6
I was keeping up until you said Getrag was junk. Go look at the people with Getrag 260s behind their 2JZs and LSs. And it's the stock E30 transmission. G250s are much weaker and not to be considered but if you want ZF strength without the tax or the granny first gear, you're looking for the transmission that comes in the car.
Idk crap about bimmer stuff so I’m just going based off what people have told me😅 but the zf is the more desirable of the 2
I will say I have a getrag 260 in my k swapped E30 and honestly it's been a trooper at 500hp for about 3 years and I'm not nice to the car haha
Yeah I’ve heard mixed reviews, some say really good things and some say bad things. But it’s the same with the Rx8 trans. I guess we’ll figure it out eventually haha
