    It's coming together really nicely and I know it will look so clean with paint. I like the control arm extensions but I'm not confident they would hold up to the extreme conditions they'll face, but you did say you would beef them up even more so it remains to be seen. I can't get over the front bar though, it just fits so perfectly under the bumper. I'd say you're getting pretty good on that tube bender. Keep it up, can't wait to see it running and driving.

And my current car is with automatic gearbox as well but this have also a manual mode, so I can use it as a manual if I like so. And this is way more refined than Audi.

    Just want to say that I have been watching you for a while now, close to the beginning, and you have progressed so much. I remember when I first started watching, I would tell my wife how it looked like you didn't know how to work on cars and the only reason I watched was because I just like to watch cars being built. But honestly man, every video, your fab skills get better, and you do things I didn't think you could. Definitely surpassed me (been in school and trying to pass my boards). But as soon as I am done with that I will get into doing bigger projects like these. Just wanted to say, I'm always waiting for your build videos, and I like there isnt a lot of repetitiveness, and filler time. I hate youtubers that make each part of their build take 12 episodes, almost as if it were a Dragon Ball z fight. I like that you show what you are doing, how you are doing it, but at the same time keep moving along, so we actually see progress. Keep it up. I'm excited to see what else you will come up with.

    It needs form fiberglass prerunner style fenders. It would correct the nose up look and replace the black fender flairs while giving you room for more wheel and tire combos that will clear the subie strut. You seem to pick up on everything quick and knowing how to fiberglass is really nice and useful for the type of stuff you do.

    Dude, you're my favourite RUclipsr. Your videos really make my day. You are very different from other car youtubers because you actually have a budget and limited money while others like thestradman and Adam lz just straight up cash boi.
    I've been following you since you had 60k subs and got to know you from ar12 gaming (who I ditched btw to watch your videos) and liked your content a lot. Most of these youtubers just straight up slam their cars to the ground and rice the hell out of it while you have a lifted miata turning to an AWD monster making sure your cars are as clean as possible.
    I have to be honest, the rally car was my least favourite b4 and when I saw the video where u bought the bus I was like wtf is this idiot doing but along time I really understood your intentions and started to really like them.
    The best part about your channel is that you do most of the stuff in your channel by yourself.
    I am very proud of your hard work and wish to become a patron but I dont have a credit card yet..
    I ~hope~ know you will keep up the great work and keep making videos that are awesome.👍👍👍

    Friendly reminder that you don't need to use a pinwrench to tighten the anglegrinder nut. Its threads are opposite the rotation of the grinder, so it will always tighten itself. Using a wrench to tighten it will only wear everything out and create more work for you afterwards.

    Just a suggestion because I’ve always thought it would be cool, you should try to convert the turn signals/ daytime running lights into the headlights and then you can just permanently keep the pop ups down. Then you can just add some turn signals to underneath the front bash bar somewhere you won’t really see them when they aren’t blinking

    GINGIUM! You don't need to remove that outside light. For more downward angle, just use washers or something to shim the lights in their housing!

    Anyone else realised he’s rep’ing Five Three (Even Shanks) hoodie. 👍🏻 Gingium needs to get a clothing line with his builds on and colour the t-shirt in the colour of the can and do line art of the car on it. I would love to see Mazda truck and the rally Miata shirts.

    Great job G. That little spot between the front fender and door is nothing compared to getting the front sheetmetal on. *💡 an idea for you. It would be cool if you could loose the pop-ups and instead make a molded plexiglass cover. Seems I remember road race Corvette's using a similar idea. Aero and a different look.
