How to Get your Car Ready for an Endurance Race (and not blow up)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Today I show you how to install gauges, a heel plate, wheel hub studs, Lexan windows, and modify your exhaust to turn your car into an endurance race car, kind of... Hopefully all of our fixes prepare us for the endurance race this year because last year definitely didn't go well with our car lasting only 15 laps until the engine blew up!

I used to watch your videos for fun when I was younger, now I watch em to work on my car. Thank you for everything over the years Chris ❤
same!
the most inspiration thing Chris does is doing things simple and with most common hand tools. Other channels can do well but workshop level. we love you Chris. Love the soapy wooder too
Chris, thank you so much for your hospitality when my sons saw you compete at the 24 hours of lemons. You and your crew are AMAZING to your fans. You have been an inspiration to my oldest son Grant. Hard work and dedication can allow you to do anything you set your mind to. Watching your videos helped not only inspire my son to be future mechanic but also helped entertain him when he was battling cancer. I hope all your other fans know how kind hearted you are. My family and I wish you, your family and friends continued success. Thank you!
i’m chrisfix alt ur welcome

Wow I appreciate the huge amount of work involved, from filming, editing and taking the time to do so much research, put it in practice and show it in the most cleanest way possible. This is just pure art.
Thanks... See my problem is I take on the project thinking, oh that's simple... Then I realize it's really not simple lol
Still you engine swaped a bmw with 500$ including the car really impressive
@@mullj021 He sold some parts from interior and other bits of the car to counter that so its worth less.
hey chris, been watching for a long time and i just wanted to let you know that i appreciate you. growing up without a father left me with little to no knowledge on cars so when i found your channel i was so grateful there was someone out there helping for free, thank you chris, seriously.
Thanks man and I am glad I could help teach you about fixing cars!
Man I love how you go into detail with every single little part and component.
I really was reloading my page just for this video to come out.
Winner winner chicken dinner! Email or DM me your mailing address for some ChrisFix swag!

Chris's energy is more than the cars horsepower!!
true
Smiles per mile
After watching your videos, I have to say that I've NEVER seen someone so good at planning ahead of time and just being wise overall. Huge inspiration. I do comedy skits now, but down the road I want to actually get into the automotive industry.
“must be italian!”
bro i laughed too hard at that
Can't wait to see how it does this year
You'll see in the next video!
@@chrisfix when is the race?
@@keremardicli4013 is it oct 15-16?
@@keremardicli4013 the race is already done. A few months ago.
@@jrmyg1621 race happened a long long long time ago
Christopher Fixtopher, you and my dad are my inspiration to become a mechanic, and here I am in my apprenticeship learning everything I ever wanted, could not thank you enough for the inspiration. Much love from the UK, you are amazing man, keep up the great work!! ❤
I love to see that there are more people wanting to become a mechanic! I want to become a great mechanic too, I actually want to own my own brand of vehicles someday. That is my life goal ;)
Work hard, learn a lot, I am sure you will get there!
For some reason that actually inspired me to be a rally driver not only that I would like to build a rally car and see the problems so I can fix it thanks to chris:)
LMAOOOO CHRISTOPHER FIXTOPHER💀💀💀
@@Dontbeafraid2 WAIT WHY DIDNT I REALEASE THAT but his right his real name is Christopher
@@AspectLegend1 i know his name is Christopher
Chris this is so cool. I've followed you for years, this feels like home for you. Love the DIY content, love the next level race content as well, if you're not careful you might make me build one like you inspired me to build my truck! Please keep it up!
Haven't been watching videos much lately.
You inspired me to service my car.
Chris, you are so enthusiastic and an inspiration to me.
Thanks!!!
If the budget allows, I'd recommend getting an aftermarket oil cooler for the engine for next year.
Thanks for taking us on this journey bro 💯
to think it just started from me searching how to fix a flat tire to litterally having so much watching car reparing videos for 6 years straight already one of my most favorite channels! :D
hi Chris. am not a mechanic but your videos have really grow my interest in basic car general repair. a massive thank you for all that you doing and sharing, following you from Vanuatu,,
Chris. You've helped so many people over the years. You bring alot of people joy and your quality of videos is unrivaled on RUclips. Keep smashing it

Thanks for all the videos you've done, Chris. I've been able to work on my cars with confidence thanks to you.
Awesome! Thanks a lot!
Man, i love chris Fix videos. It's one of the only channels I'll actually sit and watch and not use the video as background noise
Thank you soo much Chris for taking us along.... because of you I love working on my car. Keep us posted cant wait so see you race!!!
Using this video to prep my 95 Celica GT for my first AutoX. 😁 Thank you Chrisfix.
Awesome! Good luck and have fun!
Post up some videos of your progress bro XD
17:18 "FRA GEE LAY, must be Italian!" love that Christmas Story reference!! 😂
The first time I have ever seen Chris fix not use medium strength thread locker. Went straight for the throat on those hub threads. Also. Love that Christmas Story reference at 17:18.
Chris I used your tips and tricks at my work experience in a garage and can now change oil and oil filters very easily!
Hey Chris! thanks a lot for your videos and guidance helps a ton!! and a very best of luck for this year's endurance you go!!🔥
Glad to see you still at it all these years later. I have a lot to catch up on. You were one of the first youtubers to make me feel confident that I could learn how to wrench my own stuff. You have a great formula, no fluff. Thanks again
I have been watching this channel since Chris got the Hummer H1 and I feel that this channel went from already good to incredibly good.
your the reason why i got into car videos, never regretted it, and its also very informative for the future, very cool 👍
I just saw fab rat's video on this race yesterday! Cannot wait for your race! Thank you for all you have taught me Chris. I recently replaced the head gasket on my diesel van's 285k motor... Couldn't have done it without the stuff I've learned from you. Thanks for everything, ROAD TO 10 MIL!
Much love to you man, your helping a young girl get on her feet with these vids, God bless you. I'm praying for you and your success ❤️
This man is my favorite auto youtuber, Although, we do customized VARSITY and leather jackets but seen videos of this man regularly. keep up the work sir.
I love how you bring joy to so many people. Keep it up!
This is SO freakin' awesome. Chris, none of us can wait for the next episode... so drop it like it's hot!!
I’ve been waiting for this for sooo long
Finally more videos.. I missed this very much. Great job guys, the car looks amazing. Best of luck
‘’Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off."
Making it out at a young age is quite difficult. I started a side hustle at 17, saved up and made some good investments. l'm 28,live on my own and having a good life for myself. Big ups to you and everyone out there trying
Sounds like plan, how do you put money to work?
@@twinfred3160 Yes it sure is. I put in money in investments and get profits. That 's how I make more money without working. This does not sound new to you right ?
@@ibrahimfaizan6047 Thanks for replying me, I've heard so many people talk about investment but none had said how to do it right.
Am hoping on you can explain more on how you make extra income from investments
Ok, this makes me want to join the lemons race 🤔
You should get a lemons car too and compete against CHris or maybe you can team up with him. This has already got me so excited.
p.s. hope you and your family are after IAN.
It's been a year already! Time flies! Can't wait to see all your hard work put into action!
This content is awesome keep up the good work👍🏼 I love e46s I’m swapping the 2.5 out of mine right now for a low mile fully rebuilt m54b30 and went through and replaced the whole suspension
Whenever I watch one of your videos I just want to watch another one. And another one. Aaand another one. You are an excellent content creator and helper!
Love this channel, I just got started in working on cars and can do basic things so far like brake changes, spark plug replacement etc.. But this channel just adds to that hunger of information I have for topics like this. I would love one day to get into racing.
Such a great time! Can’t wait to see the next video! I know how things go, but it’s always fun to see the story telling!
The exhaust sound honestly reminds me of my cousin’s 350z it sounds amazing Chris! Great job and keep up the good work :D
chris your hard work really paid off good luck
I love the little (and not blow up) in the title lmao
I really hope you win this year’s race, Chris! Even though last year didn’t go so well, you learned from that and kept going. Many would not. I can’t wait to see race results!
lmfaro
This guy just goes from strength to strength - best on YT by a clear country mile. You just CANNOT beat a ChrisFix video.
bro ı am watcing you since my highschoolhood, now i finished university on machine and im a mechanical technician now! you can proud of yourself chris.. :) you are my teacher
Great video Chris! I just wanted to mention as a reminder that while dismantling your steering wheel to change it to a quick release steering wheel, you should unplug the car's battery just to prevent the airbag from engaging while you're getting rid of the stock steering wheel, which could cause injury.
Edit: I also think yellow headlight tints would look sick on the car btw
your videos are great, can't wait to buy my first car and apply everything you teached me
Awesome!
"Hey guys, ChrisFix here" Never gets old💯💯
Chris, your videos make me unbelievably happy
I love when These videos come out, your channel is the definition of quality over quantity
Hey Chris I love your video man you put so much effort into your vid we appreciate you 👍
Thanks a lot!
The exhaust sounds like a little nitro rc car and I love it!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO CHRIS!!!!!
Dayuum! This transformation is amazing!
I love the way you pronounced ‘fragile’ total throwback to A Christmas Story.
I love the progress made and thanks for showing us your progress, looking forward to the race!
Ugh I want the race vid already, I’m so excited to see how much better this year could go!!!
Such an amazing adventure, so happy for you guys!
Hey ChrisFix, Thank you for everything about how fix stuff in cars even though I’m 9 you bring so much joy to my face and help me how to fix a car when I am older! Then my Dad who used to fix cars wonder how I know how to fix cars so much! 😅
Feels Like we have been waiting for sooo long haha. Love the lexan windows.
Wish you all the luck my friend in your race and I hope you win 🏆.
You deserve it for all the hard work you have.
Love you man.
Thanks a lot
Ooh man that's mines a lot for me.
Thank you man 😭❤️
Good to see you back Chris!
I really wish you and your team good luck on this year's endurance.
Love how you show how to do everything ❤❤keep growing
Every time I see that Chris has uploaded a new video, I prepare for the best watching experience of all time. And today is a Lemon BMW update?! That’s worth a party!
You have the exact same mind as i do! I absolutely L O V E ! Watching new ChrisFix content.... Especially if it's on the Lemon's BMW!
@@astr0w4v3s2 Exactly! I think everybody can agree on that

The efforts ChrisFix puts in is almost unparalleled on YT. 10m subscribers coming up sooner rather than later and totally deserved as well 👍
Amazing transformation and learning from our mistakes...awesome!!!

You are magical mate, the last time I saw your video a year ago. Randomly I get a thought of your video this morning and voila! I get your video recommend.
You are a very awsome inspiration to me keep up the good work teach.
LETS GO ANOTHER RAAAAAAACE!!!!
a wise man once said: “my main goal is to blow up”
Not with this engine I hope!
@@chrisfix chris fix in the last race i think Aron push the car to the limits……I mean its a 500 dollars car….Btw i dont hate him or something and u might not recognize it but u r making everyones day better
🥭
Riff raff
i like how i watched him since like 3 years ago when i was 14 years old, the videos are not only informative and helpfull yet entertaining in some sort of way idk
Can’t wait to watch the race, this is a really cool story to i watch
Best of luck with this years race, sounds like you guys are really ready to bring the A game!
(and not blow up) perfect. Exactly what I need to know haha 😄
Exactly!
@@chrisfix thanks again for all your work Chris!
This is a huge improvement from the before e46. Good Luck for the endurance race.
You have helped me with my dads dream car my dad was so happy when I gave it to him his dream car was a old 69 mustang and I found one for not that much and it was super messed up so your videos helped me a lot thank you
might be a bit late but drill some holes in the bottom of the exhaust tips. should prevent rain from pooling in the exhaust system.
i reallt love your content ive been watching since 6 years ago i love the content keep going
You are living my dream man
I’m gonna buy my first car tomorrow
❤
Love from my India
Hey Chris still waiting for the video but keep up the great work buddy!
For people that don't want to change to studs, look for a wheel hanger alignment pin, usually about $10 each, take out two of your wheel bolts, thread the pins in a few threads and the pull the rest of the bolts. Keeps the wheel from falling off and makes putting the wheel back on a breeze.
Nicee new Chrisfix video. You should upload more often
I wish I could lol
@@chrisfix 👍
I hope to see you next year @ 24hrs of lemons @NJMP, i was in the orange e36. Great video again. ✌️
I love your videos and they help me and my dad work on cars
I hope you make it through the race this time😀❤️
You'll see!
