Hey Chris What Day you Fix your Red Mustang GT 1998 Put Super Charger
I Main!!!!
Chris you forgot to take off the brakes, those will just slow you down.
😂
Bravo my friend, bravo 👏🏼
😂
ok that was funny
Hahah
We really under appreciate how Chris lays everything out so nicely for like 40 seconds of talking. Like that’s 400 pounds of stuff you nicely place just to showcase its really awesome
Was thinking the same thing. Dude really illustrates for his viewers. And is really genuine and precise. He's one of the best car guys on here no doubt
Mans literally just goated
Because he's selling most of it so it's not total waste he has his pics of what's for sale 😆 but yea he does spend some time for his quality videos.🤘
Thank you for answering the question so I don't have to watch the video
@@cladysmith9505 There isn't a better way to put this
Just a disclaimer for anyone who doesn’t know: DONT immediately go to remove an airbag after disconnecting a battery and thinking it’s disarmed. I’m sure you’ve mentioned it in previous videos but airbags are linked to capacitors that can store the circuit energy and keep the bag live. It’s always Good practice to wait 15 to 30 minutes after disconnecting the battery to let the capacitor dissipate the electricity elsewhere first.
Here's a tip that came straight from the Honda dealer during the airbag recall nonsense.
Take you're battery terminal cables after you have removed the battery and just hold them together to complete the circuit after about 1 minute all the capacitors should be discharged.
I got that response after I made a terrible joke about the airbag blowing up in the techs face the moment he touched it.

@@sarahfairclough9062 true, but it still got the point across, right?
Could be autocorrect, as it isn't a misspelling error, which AC picks up.

You should probably wait longer than that but yea do be careful
That engine is probably like 500 pounds, imagine the weight reduction you could make!
Yeahhhh you jinxed it: ruclips.net/video/_vrICr6iNGI/видео.html
@@chrisfix Hahaha oh damn, whoops! I should get to the video of this year's race pretty soon, hopefully it turned out better. According to the thumbnail I saw, it looks like it tho. Love your content btw, followed your stuff on and off for years (Still need to watch that light scratch removal one regularly 😂), great to see you push things even further with full on endurance racing!
Hell, may as well remove the body too
I was waiting for the removal of unnecessary items under the hood.
Ha ha!
The clips didn’t break because they knew you weren’t reusing them.
The absolute truth
Ahaha that made me laugh so hard 😂
Good stuff 🤣👍
Hell yeah!

Police Officer: Where is your licence and proof of registration?
Chris: Too much weight.
Police Officer: what...

*speeds off into the distance*
150 grams just removing the plate!
you heard me, officer.
I lost the most weight when I broke up with my ex.
Quick side note: the biggest reason your braking distance is garbo at the start is because you have bad tires. You can see they are fully locked and you are skidding. You can also hear wheel slip on your launches. Upgrading tires alone will significantly improve your performance
Weight reduction is basically telling a car “ u won’t be needing this “
well apparently my brain does the same thing for everything that i learn...
u don’t need ur fingers *chop* 😂

I doubt this car will ever be put back together properly
@Maulen. IDC Florez why bro ?
I always compared BMW & Mercedes to my Saab that i had back in the early 90s, Saab 900 won every time for me
@@yu01025 because they are trash... I guess NO one told you yet but BMW are the worst german cars... they came last in every test... your welcome...

I will probably never have to do any of the stuff you show, but you make it so accessible and entertaining to watch. I liked learning about the dry ice, and seeing the car get gutted.
I'm curious about how much weight will be added back with the cage.
Best mechanic ever
I usually shave every hair on my body and race entirely naked for weight reduction purposes

Sure... *that's* why you race naked...
Why even race? Just wait at the finish line.

It’s got to be so satisfying to pull all that plastic out of this car knowing you don’t have to put it back in. I bet that was fun
Lol yeah totally! Huge relief. I keep tons of extra plastic clips and bolts etc for stuff in my truck just in case. That stuff is definitely a bear to wrestle in and out ;)

@@The_Bearded_Lady Hey it’s a good name. Lol. I wonder if Mr. fix is listening!!
Actually those plastic will go back, cuz he'll sell the car in the future.
Discovered you from this video about a week ago and you instantly inspired me to start my own project! Can’t wait to explore the rest of your videos!!
Glad to see an US content creator that is aware that imperial metrics are unknow for everyone outside US and it's really pleasent to get conversion everytime :)
Thank you and amazing content tho
Here’s the required “honey that guy is talking to his cars again” comment
I believe it's mainly a voice-over editing. Or?
@@Agent-nw3it Thought that at first but idk
@@Agent-nw3it I see coordinating hand moments in some shots!
@@sensiblewheels Still voice-over. With 10 hours of work per minute of the video, it's called perfectionism.
That “fastener” holding in front of the carpet behind the clutch is actually the clutch stop. Make sure you reinstall that to prevent any possible damage to the clutch system.
This needs to be seen
I’m sure he did after but thank you that’s good to know
man needs to see dis
Hopefully he has done seen this lol
i broke mine, how important is it? What can happen if i dont have one?
I was really impressed with this video and I’m not even in the market for reducing my car’s weight. I was just curious about what the process was like.
I think you do a great job of balancing the technical depth and the pace of the video. I never felt like you were wasting my time or leaving out anything important.
Excellent work, Chris. I like the way you narrate rather than real-time audio,
Alternate title: How to EXTREMELY super clean your car's inside.
One hell of a detailing.
What's that sound?
Deadening...
Reminds me of Forza Motor Sport 4
Minimalist car
Bruh Chris is getting risky"cover this big gapping hole
For some reason, the wires to these speakers were already disconnected.
BMW: They were connected, but since you did not pay for the $5,000 sound system upgrade, we disconnected them.
Seems about right 😂
True 🙂
They're already aftermarket Kicker speakers so the last owner did it.
I’ve watched this video 3 times already, you do such a good job!
Seeing great people like you succeed and being able to do what they love, really makes me happy, too!
Remove the blinkers, you don't need them as a BMW driver.
wow
See what’s funny is you aren’t even wrong
The fucking truth!
+10hp
There is no blinkers there already. They mount unfunctional spacers at the factory.
You can also remove the indicators, no one who drives a BMW uses them.😂😂
ye same. my 3 series is sick
And the speedo
Honestly I don't know why is this the case for BMW drivers. Because I just got a MINI and the indicators are amazing. Subtle and deep clicking sound for indicator sound.
What even makes it the best indicator system I've tried is that the indicator goes two clicks each direction. click them once and the indicator indicates 3 or 5 times depending on your settings you selected. This is such a useful feature when I want to change lanes and not have to manually stop the indicator. I just set it to indicate 5 times, so that I let it indicate three times while driving in my lane and then start changing lane while the last 2 indicates are going. Perfect lane change with seamless effort.
@@AlbaderBohamad They just don't want to use them because they are inconsiderate I guess
True
Thats a really cool video. Im not a car guy (yet) and this was awesome!
That's a phenomenal amount of patience, dedication, skills and professionalism!👌👌. It can also serve as a detailed Car assembly video if the video is watched reverse!😉....happy and safe racing!👍👍
Can’t wait to do this to my Prius race car build!!
Hi FixItNick
i wanna do this to my ioniq for better MPG
Aoakqmam
Remove the battery from beneath the rear seat for best performance
Lmaooo you tryna fly away?
I like how Chris seems to think we're all building race cars also.
I could see how he might think that considering the videos title.
@Regdu Geht 🤣🤣🤣
Are you not?
Well I mean I am so it’s helpful
I like tho how it could've been like 3 min vid of just pictures of him removing and then the weight. But by this way we can see how cars are put together!
Thanks for the unintended E46 part guide. I use this video whenever I gotta fix a BMW problem
Lol no prob
Cant wait till we get to the engine beaty covers and all that excess lbs.! Always thankful for you sharing your knowledge! Makes me a safer, smarter, and better backyard mechanic.
The lack of soupy wooder in this episode disappoints me
:o
I thought he was gonna say it when cleaning the sunroof hole but instead said solvent
@@chrisfix Just curious how your C4 Corvette would do against the BMW. 0-60, braking and handling. you should post the results in a quick video.
I like how this is the only one he responded to because it was not nice 😂
I knew there was something missing.
I like how he doesn’t bullshit and gets straight to point unlike other youtubers
Always appreciate when people make videos like this. I don't need to listen to 15 minutes of backstory and 10 minutes of unrelated channel updates, merch advertising, plugging their patreon, etc. that shit is so annoying
right on the money
*clicks on how to change tire video* hey guys it's every RUclipsr nowadays, tires are important. They are round which is good for rolling. They are filled with air which reduces turbulence. They are rubbery which is good for traction and breaking. They have rims which is good for showing off. They are black which is good for racists to learn to coexist. They are attached to the breaks which is good for stopping. There is four of them which is good for balance. So if your tire is damaged or missing you should really consider changing the tire. In today's video I'm gonna be teaching you the top 10 best ways to change a tire. So let's not waste anyone's time and get right to it but first don't forget to bosh that like button before you see weather or not this video was actually informative and even more importantly smash that subscribe button, I make these videos not for a chance at passive income nor grocery store level fame but because I read some guide to making these cookie cutter youtube videos and have my moms nice Camara. And don't forget to click the bell so your phone will piss you off more than it does. Okay so lets jump right into the video no lenghty intros on this channel. First thing you want to do is identify the 4 tires on your car. Then you want to check their psi. You do this buy taking your car to a mechanic and having them use their special psi tool that looks like a flute. Check your owners manual for the psi you're car desires. Usually its about 55 psi. If they are below that change them for new ones. Dont cheap out and buy used. Now that your new tire arrived in the mail. Fill it to 55 psi. Jack up your car, pull old tire off (doesn't show the 1 detail you were looking for). And that's it. Now you can drive around with a rounded tire car. If you somehow made it this far without hitting the back button please like and subscribe to my channel for more cookie cutter how tos overly long and hardly helpful. That's the way the cookie crumbles...
@@andrewg5235 did you just write the entire script of those youtubers it looks like no one is safe from people finding their extremely long scripts
But also, in the end, it's like what's the point?
When you take the last owner route, there is so much lightness you can add. Not all at once, but as you need access for replacement and/or repair. Dry ice is a hot tip.
I was watching just to see. I struggled to remove my seats, video after video. Struggle after struggle. All because of that seatbelt bolt. Thank you so much for showing me lifting the seat will eliminate that struggle.
This guy is giving me instructions like I’m gonna do this.
Do it!!!
Weight reduction bro!!
He is obviously stoned
@inj keep going those a rookie numbers!!!
to be fair, that's true of 95% "how-to" videos on RUclips.

Launches from 4500rpm & acceleration from 0 - 97km/h (0 - 60mi/h): 6.79s, 6.88s, 6.83s | Avg: ~6.83s
Braking from 97 - 0km/h (60 - 0mi/h): ~52.2m (171ft), ~52.7m (173ft), ~51.2m (168ft) | Avg: ~52.0m (~170.6ft)
_(after weight reduction)_
Final weight of car: ~1333kg [~196kg reduction] (2940lbs [430lb reduction])
Launches from 4500rpm & acceleration from 0 - 97km/h (0 - 60mi/h): 6.17s, 6.09s, 5.97s | Avg: ~6.08s [~.75s reduction]
Braking from 97 - 0km/h (60 - 0mi/h): ~43.3m (142ft), ~42.1m (138ft), ~43.0m (141ft) | Avg: ~42.8m [~9.2m reduction] (~140.3ft [~30.3ft reduction])
Hope this helps!
Despite all that work and substantial weight reduction, average acceleration time improved by less than 1 second. I'd be quite disappointed if I had a car to do.
Though the braking improved a lot.
@@wizzard5442 gained nearly a second of acceleration from a 10% weight loss, thats a bug improvement with the same amount of power.
@@wizzard5442 Think fuel consumption.
It doesn't brake... 😱
@@wizzard5442 .75 is pretty significant imo. for removing stuff instead of adding forced induction or something, seems like a good deal

i didnt expect to watch the entire 27 mins, it was that good of a content
Love this video, I've always wanted to do this to a car and I can see so much more to do to reduce the weight.
Plot twist: The welder welds in a 430lb roll cage.
It’s about 130-150lbs
HAHAHAHAHA
Yeah but that sh*t will save your life on the track
2940 lbs + 430 lbs would still be better than 3370 lbs + 430 lbs
Haha. But recoup that with a carbon body kit and light weight wheels 👌
Not having a girlfriend is part of my weight reduction kit

Finally, a pull out tutorial on RUclips im not ashamed of watching when it’s all said and done
Holy crap whoever first came up with that trick with the dry ice to remove sound dampening mat is an unsung genius.
Toyota: You don't need to remove the soundproofing, we have already done that.
Scion TC coupe is the noisiest car I've ever been in.
True that. The 2015 Toyota Camry was terribly loud on a smooth highway. They improved it though on the 2017 Camry.
@Tomato Sauce No. My first car, a baby blue 71 Opel, takes that award. Best birth control device known to man.
True. I used to have a 2011 Camry that was sonically beautiful, music sounded so good in it, couldn't hear much outside.
Then I got a 2016 and it was noisy as hell. Even going through the car wash, sounded like a tin can rattling with some change in it and the sound of the music sucked too. Completely different than the 2011.
My old Yaris was so loud on motorway that I used noise canceling headphones on longer drives. But those old 1.3l Toyota engines never consumed motor oil.
The engine block is pretty heavy, taking that out will reduce weight significantly!
Flintstones knew it
Lol
the aluminum m54 block is surprisingly light, actually lighter than most cast iron 4 cyls
Oh dont worry, we did that...
So Chris! I love your videos and that trick with dry ice is awesome! One question: When will You make face reveal? Great winter. Love
You are such an interesting person! A rare doer in a world of watchers.
when you cant find the rattle in the car so you just remove everything in the car
big brain moment
...and then it still rattles....😒
Now there's nothing to rattle
then you realize the rattle IS the car and you are enlightened
I personally tried this and found the car lost a ton of weight when I took out the engine block and replaced it with a cardboard box. I also replaced the shock absorbers with slinky toys; finally I took out the suspension crossmember and replaced that with some metal bars I welded together. On an unrelated note I’m typing this comment in the hospital.
How did you end up in the hospital with a cardboard motor?

Good video Chris. Reminds me of something we used to say, among the pir crews, running charger class at the local track.
Grams equal ounces, and ounces lead to pounds.
People woild ask why id dig the broken clios out, after panel removal, until we set up the 84 Monte Carlo, for the backup car. Took all the smalls, and zeroed the scale with the bucket. Came to just under 8 pounds.
Also slimmed our driver down by 37 pounds.
All told, ar had to be between 2500 and 3200 pounds with the driver. Got it down to 3922, with TJ in full gear, in the driver's seat.
Thanks for the memories of my misspent youth. Wife and a couple friends have been trying to talk me into a Lemons event, and located a 94 Taurus, rough, but a good runner.
That project will begin Saturday morning. Already have a name, team Some Assembly Required, given that we have 2 organ recipients, and myself, an above knee amputee, as drivers. She's the only one not running replacement, or aftermarket, parts.
Also goong to hydro dip my old socket, gold and black carbpn fiber, distressed look. And yes.
I will be rocking shorts in the pits.
Will update once refistered, to let your viewers know which one we'll be running. After 3 of us came close to not being here, it's time to celebrate being alive, by actually living.

Dry ice works better if you use it with isopropyl alcohol. It allows for better conduction so you don’t have to wait as long you can also scoop and pour it onto spots where dry ice wouldn’t stay on its own like the sides of the transmission tunnel.
I rolled my 2005 Prius in 2016. By the grace of God, I walked away with no broken bones.
Had the car towed to my house, then spent the next few days removing everything from the ac vents to the visors, radio, sunglasses holder, door panels, actuators, covers for the tweeters, glove compartment, rear hatch panel and electric latch actuator, window/door lock controls, cup holders, power button, airbags, hybrid battery, etc. etc. etc.
I then organized everything, took pictures and posted everything on ebay.
Absorbed a lot of the cost from totaling the car without full coverage. And it was pretty satisfying knowing everything was being put to use and not wasting away in a junkyard in the rain
@@snackler6102 Simply cut it off and sell it on ebay of course!
If you would have cut the catalytic converters off of it about four to six months ago the right person those would have brought you $1,800 hope you didn't scrap the car and leave the Converters on it because they're still worth well over 1,300 right now...!!!!

My current Prius has a clogged catalytic converter. Wonder is that effects value. I know they’re wanted for the rhodium and platinum not for the function of the apparatus themselves.
Also, the engine on my wrecked Prius had nearly 300k miles

looks like me removing evething i can from my SSD to install a game...
@@hmm8602 i have both, but the games i play need ssd. my ssd is 128gb i need at least 250gb but where i live nothing is cheap with this pandemic
same, I have a 110gb ssd and with windows in it I can barely fit 2 games in it
the motivation they have for all this is insane
I finally got a 500gb ssd a couple months ago and a 3gb hdd and holy fk am I glad I did. These drives are affordable now for a decent brand. Luckily I don't game that much or else I'd be flat broke, but hell I can barely even download games now because my ISP limits me to 150gb a month and a lot of games are that size now.
They have software now so you can easily clone your OS onto the new drive. Everyone likes a fresh install but man that's soooooo much easier. I cloned both my drives. Maybe test your drives with Sentinal to see how much longer you got left, might need to do it soon since some SSD's fall apart quick. And get a cheap HDD dock for your spare drives. Those things are great.
stop doing that, that will kill your SSD faster.

E46 was the last good bmw. Prove me wrong.
Well as someone once said,
"If it ain't the engine, take it off"
ya gotta get to fast to furious......oh and family
The guy who removed the steering wheel: ‘I see this as an absolute win!’
So leave only the engine?
@@manuj2868 could probably use a plastic toy one? Just add some wires or something.
@@alexrosado3890 exactly. Just leave the engine, and take it off. Panels, doors, windows. Heck, take even the battery out.
Chris you are FKNG awesome! that dry ice trick is out of this world
This video was so satisfying
Finally the budget "racecar" is back.

I was thinking I hope your face isn't in front of that... There are little rockets in those lol.
another thing to be aware of is that a lot of insulation and sound deadening can be inside of your doorcards
You're my best youtuber by far
not having a girlfriend is part of my car's weight reduction kit
Racers don't need girlfriends
@@mandeadd but sometimes they do need a co-driver
So thats why he doesn't get laid!
We are Akinas loneliest racers

Thats really cool to see just how much weight those luxury features add.
Not sure why but this vid was very satisfying

Hey Chris just a reminder that you are loved and appreciated by hundreds of thousands of people, their cars, and their wallets. The amount of effort you put into your videos is absolutely perfect, and even now I'm appreciating your audio work, loud and cheerful yet clear and informative with great fidelity. Keep up the awesome work dude, you are truly a legend in the history of automotives!
Nah, millions. Even he helped me fix my 4 cars and this video is a long anticipated video I’m so excited
Hey Chris. Do you think you could drop a video on how to sell these excess parts and your tips and tricks. Thanks!
You could gain a lot of performance by changing the rims for magnesium ones o carbon fiber, also redesigning the bushing of the wheel (I don't know if spelled it correctly) making it of titanium and with an optimal geometry. With this things acceleration might increase a lot due to the unsprung mass of the car. Also other improvements might be replacing metal parts such as the hood fora a carbon fiber or glass fiber ones, and removing unnecessary things for competing such as the air conditioner pump
The stock exhaust is really heavy, there is some to delete here.
@@turningaround7842 He doesnt need to straight pipe it, just delete a few mufflers
@@LatvianVideo consider not having the exhaust would be so much better
Facts I deleted the mufflers on my wrx and the stock mufflers weighed like 40 pounds my new ones weigh like 15
@@kokkouu remark axle back?
@@cwalls6914 nah I got a nameless and it sounds good asf now I love it
Lighter wheels are so much more important, just because of the rotating mass
Exactly true. 1 pound off a wheel is huge.
..and unsprung weight
Mostly because of the unsprung weight
He already got new wheels
1 pound would be at max 4 pounds, but that only depend on the distance from the center, if you remove a nut for example wont change much but if you change the tyres it would be the max difference
cool video. always liked the e46 models! i kinda wanna do this now haha
