Matt - *car question*
"Well, you see our c--- BBBBBRRRWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA PPPSSHHHHHH
Hahahaha *am ded*
cheesin
Haha I was looking in comments just to find this!
Spot on!
Lol, his face when Matt gets on it. 8
*i always wanted a cappuccino with a hyabusa engine*
Might be a tight fit given the double size essentially
@@Neopulse00 It works, surprisingly. They are FAST, but I'd rather have a manual.
Just don't be a big/tall trying to fit into one. I literally couldn't get into the cockpit. The Daihatsu Copen surprised me though.
Same or a golf mk1
My $.02 on the ads:
I'd much rather listen to Matt describe a product he cares about /has a hand in producing, than a canned youtube advertisement.
Love the content!
John Thompson yeah well, you get both if you're not using an ad blocker or you're on mobile.
I think he needs to more adds on dairy or feminine hygiene products, or hygiene products in general. Perhaps something about a new super-absorbent sport-active yogurt.
Not sure if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother recently xD
@Nasir Kody Yea, been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself =)
I love how people complain about a couple of seconds long ad but then they refuse to pay for content.
the only (ONLY) justification for complaining about an ad is if the subscriber already has youtube red. Having youtube red subscription means that the creator gets a cut for every video watched by that subscriber, regardless of ad time or placement. Even still, it's entirely skippable, only takes 10 seconds, and the stuff Matt is selling is usually pretty decent. It's not like regular youtube ads which can be incredibly obnoxious, have horrible volume leveling, and often can't be skipped - exactly why I have a red subscription.
I love when people say that as is if youtube was ever monetary based subscriptions.
I love how people are complaining about people complaining, but there are are like 2 people complaining.
I calculated it's about 33 Cents per day for RED, so whynot. Matts ads are fine, atleast it's not that MOFO infuriating loud "YOU NEED A WEBSITE" WIX commercial, or the retarded "real people" chevy ad (where they refuse to show the hot blond girl more than once)!
I have red. I just skip forward to the one minute mark and watch the video.
Matt that was the most uncomfortable you've ever looked driving a car lol. glad you still had fun
ImYoutubing247 he did look fairly uncomfortable in there
That clown car vibe.. think even the owner would hit there head if they went to the track.
wobbly sauce take the top off
Even I was uncomfortable! This one take made me sweat.
Watch the 4g63 DEATH FIERO
I love the way they scream at each other
David Musil LOUD NOISES
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT!
I hate how they fight.
Soon2Be Fulfilled Thanks, English isn't my native language
David Musil s
No traction control and no abs, sounds like what makes me love my 89 mustang for being a bare bones performance car. This car is super dope, and I’d love to build one someday
Matt, please consider doing more detailed shots of the engine bays, suspension setups, etc.
Got some nice shades, a belt, dry balls, a resting spot for my balls, a vintage rolex, an affordable watch and now coffee.
What else do i need in life?
preparation h. it's coming.
you need an LS swapped mini cooper now
falagarius lmfao
アマ haha if that was possible that'd actually be a fuxking riot.
they would have to put the LS in the back though, even if it would fit in the front it just wouldn't make sense
Really don't get why some people are getting so worked up about the ads. If you're not into what Matt's selling just ignore it, or jump forward, what's the big deal? Chill out people, ffs! I enjoy watching his videos, and if I have to watch the occasional ad, then who am I to complain.
For what it's worth, I bought one of the Vincero watches, it's nice to have a few different watches to mix things up.
Holy shit that blow-off valve sounds orgasmic.
Blow off valve and waste gate
Viewing Not wastegate, that's just the turbo inlet and blow off
Is it a blow-off or bypass valve?
WTF is with all the hate on his ads? You get to watch quality entertainment for watching that ad suck it up...
Nothing comes for free^
sleepybird09 thanks ;)
nah the complaints on the ads are pretty legit. There is plenty of great content on RUclips that doesn't try to force feed you ads every single video.
you should be able to click to watch whatever video you want without being deceived into watching or being sold random shit. You have to be able to recognize that and say no to it.
his work is being compensated by RUclips through ad revenue, I don't block ads from this channel so i don't want to be subjected to even more ads when the first ads have finished. I just wanna watch car content, what's wrong with that?
"His work is being compensated by RUclips through ad revenue". That's where you're wrong kiddo. RUclips keeps paying less and less by the month so ads like these are way better.
People who use ad blockers is on a rise and that negates conventional monetization methods of youtube. So it is up to the content creator to supplement that lost revenue from people using ad blockers with unskippable ads put directly into their content. There is nothing wrong with it as long as it is a quality content creator such as TheSmokingTire is.
Matt always mentions heel toeing. I always laughed at the heel toe concept..... until I got a manual and started practicing heal toeing every day before/after work merging onto the highway.
So people may give me cap for this, but watching these one-takes and seeing all the unique and odd builds people have done have made me decide I want to build my HHR. And when I do, I want to bring it out for Matt to drive
Did you do it yet?
I don't see how that could be a good build........ever. I wouldn't mind being proven wrong though.
What’s an HHR?
I've been wanting to do one of these with a EZ-30 6-cyl engine. It's been done.
Currently in progress of doing one:) just hardly getting started tho
"nothing that can save you" LMAO
The owner looked very nervous/car sick almost haha
riding passenger while someone is driving aggressive, will make most car sick
I have no idea how my lady tolerates riding with me but she has been doing it for fifty years. Including a Beetle on snow and a C-6 on the backroads of NH.
I have admired Fatory FIVE Racing for years. Great guys and great cars.
The car looks like it's fun to drive and the motor sounds lovely. These guys appear to have done a good job of putting the car together but the ergonomics inside looks to be a little off and the hood looks like it is loose.
I really loved the way the 818 hardtop looked from the first time I saw the kit more than a year ago, and I'm glad to finally see a real review of one.
As for the gas pedal in this...I wonder if it's drive by wire. I had to modify the gas pedal placement in my Fiesta ST so that I could heel-to-toe downshift it, but now it's great (just went to Hocking Hills this weekend and did a bunch of driving and hiking).
I'm in love with the direct sound of the turbo. You just know the powers coming when you hear it.
Ads are what keeps the lights on around here, so if you like them purdy cars going "VROOOM" suck it up and listen about the GOD DAMNED coffee princess
petal and steering wheel placement is on of those things you don't think to much of till it's off, then it's all you notice.
Lol . . . "petal"
garf117 do they smell like roses too?😝✌
Not everyone speaks engrish first ;)
Congrats to the owner on this build. I’ve got nothing but respect for car owners like this who take a massive goal and then actually turn it into a finished product.
that was a cool build man, John was a good host to our guest Matt
if I lived in the stats I'd try that coffee just to support the channel. love the reviews Matt.
Apart from the steering wheel it looks amazing for a kit car :) Does look a bit flimsy looking at the flopping bonnet.
I'd bet throwing some deadener on that fiberglass might help reduce the flexing, but it's also a track-toy kit-car, so I can also understand why it hasn't been done. Either way, the car looked incredibly solid.
For sure, great toy :)
That A pillar is super wide.
Keep in mind it's not a unibody, the panels are just cosmetic, laying over the frame and connected in a dozen or two spots.
The hood just needs a support added (I have an 818S, roadster) Mines only 240HP at the wheels and 1900 lbs 8lbs/hp at the wheels
thank you for reviewing this Matt! Always wanted to build this but wasn't sure. Super insightful. Really appreciate it
Hey Matt, just saw the piece about your Fox body in Automobile magazine, recognized it as yours before i even got to the part where they mention your name. Sick mustang.
Burt Sampson thanks! The photography for that piece was amazing
no, no one will sell me a GT350R for sticker so I've moved on.
+TheSmokingTire Your Fox would be fun with a Voodoo engine in it. 500+hp, NA, in a well sorted Fox body would be a beast on the back roads.
TheSmokingTire moved on...to shameless advertising and you don't have a real job. greedy fat pig.
No such thing as "extra money".
For a car like this, I would have loved to see the owner do the driving with Matt riding shotgun. The car is probably dialed in to his preferences and driving style, so he can really show how it all comes together. Maybe he likes the pedal box the way it is!
these one takes been good this season
I love this! And I like that you mix it up with the one takes and include some odd balls like this one!
The turbo seemed sized really well, it was always there and built boost fairly fast. Made some great noises and I'm not a boxer motor guy really, but the turbo kind of softened that drone I hear in them. Be a lot of fun to drive I'm sure.
Always wanted to build one these, thanks for great one take Matt as usual.
This is what the Subaru Impreza Type-R should have been like!
Type-R Subaru?
Love your honesty with people's cars which are their babies. You always manage your feedback with class and choose your words carefully.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch.....love this car. Great build
Not sure the hate over a 30 sec add at the beginning - I don't mind waiting for quality content. Plus I love coffee
Okay this is something I can consider. If it's good coffee why the hell not. I don't mind supporting Matt. One day he's gonna get recruited to a big show with a fat salary and we'll miss his amazing FREE RUclips channel.
VirusTornado it's really really good coffee. If you know about coffee, this is Yergacheffe single origin.
TheSmokingTire oh shit its ethiopian, those are some of the best in the world..is it wet processed or dry processed
Ethiopian coffee is quite nice indeed. Click the link in the description for more details.
Matt’s laugh at 5:00 is all I needed to know
God I love the sounds from a nicely tuned Subaru!!!
This thing is a beast!
I NEEEED one of these in my life ....
Thanks Matt. You saved me from buying the kit thinking I'd get a decent car for under $20,000. If I am going to spend between $40-60k it won't be on a car that doesn't even have defrost. Keep the videos coming!
Hey Matt, this is the first video I've ever been able to hear sick turbo noises like this on your channel great vid
Hey Matt, tell me about that coffee you're always wearing. It looks dope.
This one time my cup of coffee tasted like shit and it turned out I was drinking some fat bastards stool sample.
Khu NoPie Fresh reference, bruh.
this coffee tastes like shit Basil.
Are they "limited edition" beans? I need some for when I'm rockin the limited edition t-shirt he sold me.
Lee Stewart Fuck off lahey
how to sell Coffee to car enthusiasts , put a picture of a car on the box , yeah, ok buddy your not fooling us !!! hahahahaha...
Sounds awesome, whoosh from the turbo! Side note a dark roast plus a spiciness to it is always great.
Have been hoping you would review one of these 818s.
Properly brilliant, little drivers car.
Thx for the great review.
Fantastic video. Nice to see Factory Five getting more exposure, they make some amazing kits.
Wonder if an ez30 would fit? Since it's so light id take the hp hit for some 7000rpm h6 porsche ish noise
Saw a video on one being dyno tested. Guy said he didn't have to change much. Guess if it fits the ej turbos, it fits the ez's
@@hughjassstudios9688 Ez is a couple inches longer than an ej25. In my wagon it is literally 1 inch from the radiator. It is very crammed in.
Oddball One-Takes are the way to go! As a fan, these are the easiest to stay tuned with since they're so unique. Great episode!
Side note: WANT.
Sounds amazing! Great video
I'm curious about the car, but I also want you to shut up so I can hear all the turbo noises. Was the color mentioned? Car looks great.
Dr. Nefario looks like nardo gray
Built not bought, literally 😂
Seems like he spent a good chunk of change having other people sort out his build.
This is one hell of a platform. I'm extremely intrigued by this car/company now.
I've loved the look of this kit ever since they corrected the headlights and added the hard top. That total invested price is out of control though. I was hoping it could be built reasonably for closer to $30k (painted). Plus, to me, it would be a track car so things like pedal placement for heel-toe'ing would be very important. Probably twin master cylinders and a brake bias adjustment.
I like coffee. Is it real coffee or instant shit. And do they ship to the UK. On another note I love kit cars, they are just the best no compromises.
finally someone not complaining that there is an add before the video. thumbs up to you.
No thanks just normal ground roasted coffee is best, it's more versatile.
Sure, I could get freeze dried crystals but I don't like the taste of crusty ass rim in the morning.
Kuddlesworth NA this is whole bean small batch roast stuff. You have to grind it for yourself. This is the highest end coffee available on the market, on par with Groundwork, Angel City, Blue Bottle, that kind of stuff. pricey but worth it. Not sure on UK Shipping sorry
As an avid coffee drinker myself, I fully endorse your ad, and completely understand the importance of quality coffee beans. Nothing like fresh ground coffee in the morning to get you going
subaru needs to make a mid engine awd car.
You had me until AWD. I'm hoping Honda makes a lower budget version of the new NSX that is not hybrid and rear wheel drive and sold as a Honda.
Bryant Harris So an S200?
Sam Wilson well the s2000 is front (or front-mid) and rear mid is much different than front
I've been waiting like a week for you to post this damn video!!!!!
The 818 is one of the best looking "kit cars" I've ever seen, BUT the way that hood flaps in the wind like a piece of Tupperware is a deal breaker for me. I would have to bond a small piece of aluminum box tube under the back edge or something.
It shouldn't, probably needs something to push back on the hood to make it sturdy,
I like that Senna poster in the back.
Martin Dixon Senna is a god
for 16k, im with it. but 40-60k to run it into this is dissappointing. I say skip paint and put money into an Sti motor for it with 6 speed and everything. Cool car though
40 - 60 is hardly disappointing -- this isn't a street car, it's a street capable track day car that could easily hang with or outrun a Porsche 911 Turbo S. Hell, with the larger rear spoiler and canards, it could probably outrun a 911 GT3. Tell me literally any other car in the 40k - 60k price range that could get anywhere close to that.
Just get a wrap for it
Car sounds like a Diesel-Electric Locomotive at Idle, I love it. Awesome!
lol they are screaming in there. i love it. cant wait to build one of these.
Matt looked like he was really driving on this one.
as in, he had all his attention on the road and how he was maneuvering the car.
At that weight and horsepower this is in hyper car territory. No power anything and no nannies in hyper car is beyond dangerous. Even the stock wrx engine pushed out super car performance.
@@u13erfitz lotus' don't have driver assists either, that's what makes them great cars, you can communicate purely with the car and road
Actually I need some coffee right now.
This car looks really cool and you could see how fast it really is! Its also great to see an owner so proud of his work and NOT annoying at the same time, thank you for that!
I love the color and would love to see a pair of matte satin dark blue racing stripes on it but that's just me =========
Thanks Matt for that great review. I agree on all fronts as well. I actually built one of the first 818s that FFR put out and I did it electric with your pals Mike and Matt at EV West The car went to SEMA, Laguna Seca, and even Adams Motorsport park for some reviews and testing. Eventually it was sold to the city of Shanghai to kick off an electric sports car project that never got off the ground. As a package, the 818 is basically a big go kart with a gel coat body. Strap a decent motor to it and you've got a serious, solid-works designed car that can compete with a boxster for about 20-25K. While some would say, "Well, then why not just buy an old Boxter?" Two reasons: Building it is half the fun, and Porsche service can be pricey. :) The car itself tracks like a cat on a velcro floor though and I enjoyed my time with it. A fun project for any intermediate wrench with little to no fabrication.
I've been waiting for Matt to review one of these, super dope. I always thought at $15k, they'd be a good alternative to an Exocet or something, but hearing that he's paying Cayman prices for a really good one with awkward ergonomics makes this a hard sell. 718's start at $55k and M2's start at $52k. "40 to 65" sounds nuts to me, especially considering that you have to build and tune it yourself, but I also get that that's part of the appeal to a lot of buyers.
Seems like you could get 14-15" brakes, a procharged EZ30 engine w/6 speed manual, roll cage, custom pedal box, steering column, and instrument panel, as well as the interior and 818R suspension, chassis, and aero kit from FF for $60k including the donor car and fresh paint. This could be a competitive alternative to something like a Lotus Evora. With 10k in the wheels and tires as well as everything else these cars would outpace a car 2-3x as expensive. At least on paper.
i agree, nuts indeed
If it means quality content keeps coming, I can live with an ad at the beginning - no biggie.
For a kit car, would rather get a Hawk HF with an Alfa Romeo GTA 3.7 V6. More power, much better sound, better looks no question. But hey the Factor 5 is a cool car that is unique for sure. Must be an absolute weapon on the track.
that's crazy... for some reason I was looking at factory five cars today at work and was gonna suggest you drive one and here we are...
awesome video. perfect sound and great work done to build such artwork
Its too bad Factory Five didn't build this car with the ability to have the newer all wheel drive system, 6 speed gearbox and engine in it.
That would all have added to the price. Also it would add weight and also remove part of the idea of a mid engine club racer car. The idea of this is to be close to the original Porsche 914-6, a car YOU drive, not one that takes a lot of the control away with tech. As for the 6 speed, likely it's not hard to put in if you have one. This is a sub 2000 pound car, it doesn't need 400+ HP and a bunch of other crap, it's made as a raw driver.
So how do coffee beans get roasted? By making fun of their sense of style and taste! 😂
Get out
Yes, you invite Jeff Ross over, and he gets it done.
Yesssss finally a factory five I desperately want to build one some day!!!
That turbo spool sounds insane😍
Sell me a pre built one for 25k and you got a sale
TYPE 65 COUPE ONE TAKE WHEN
#salute When Matt starts laughing and says that car's fast - the car is fast!)
Honestly one of the best sounding cars ever don't even mind that loud ass induction. You are good at advertising and I can tell you actually do enjoy the product. These one takes are my lunch break favorites
wouldn't be my first choice in engine to build around, but to each their own.
So shit they use it in all their vehicles, and Toyota even uses it in their FRS...
Dalton v the frs/brz uses a different engine. The EJ is a good engine, it's just a little bit of a money pit once pass 350-400whp.
It uses a different engine the same way the Hyundai Genesis Coupe doesn't use a Mitsu 4G
+Art Vandelay If you want to see that check out the channel "Boostedboiz" They have a boosted h22 in a ek9 hatch body and a few boosted wago's that's not running at the moment and recently he put a k20a in a mr2 that is about to get boosted.
When they first announced it I was thinking the same thing. I think they chose it for the transmission's ability to act as a trans-axle not for the engine itself. It's so light if they had used a normal FWD drivetrane the weight would be pretty far back. Also, there aren't very many afforidble FWD turbo engine/trans combos out there.
I would've picked the turbo 4 out of the PT Cruiser / SRT-4 my self, or any of the FWD DSM's.
Smoking Tire needs to be on Top Gear UK!!!!
The HRE XKR NOOOOOO
why pollute perfectly good content with tired, pc, mainstream television that has zero character and no soul
The HRE XKR top gear UK is already good. But top gear USA is where this guy belongs
Now we need a Factory Five GTM Supercar one take
Hey Matt thanks for the Vincero plug a few weeks ago...had been looking to get my brother a nice watch and they have a great look, great price and great reviews...ordered it yesterday!
$65k for a kit car strikes me as a lot of cash.
Maxwelhse
Right. Buys a very nice Cayman or 911...
Hits himself in the head and says ...Wow, I could have had a V8, I mean a GT350.
Or 13 "Leroy" C5s...
john smith a GT350 is nowhere near as quick as this car is.
+1710 Glob Squad I'd be willing to bet a 350R is actually quicker around a racetrack. Still a cool car though.
I'm Only Here For The Advertisement!😉
I just finished an exocet and looking at the 818. Car doesn't look registered. Needs a wiper. Probably not considered a 60's replica, so all current BAR stuff (emissions) must be kept. Complicates the process. (Exocet is registered as a 1960 Lotus 7). Much more "normal car" than mine. Also 4x the cost. Fantastic build though. Building your own car is a great experience, Cost is not the point. It's about the challenge and satisfaction. The kit looks very complete and I'm sure was a blast to build. Awesome job!!!!
I built my 818S with 240 RWHP for just over $20K, includes oak veneer interior, custom shifter w bellcrank, custome hood and engine louvers, aluminum trunk, heated leather Recaros, custom wiper, aluminum inner fenders, CF mirrors, aero side pieces, splitter, diffuser and trunk spoiler, padded vinyl interior. 8lbs/RWHP
Love the coffee!
I want one! 😍
new project
Same
BRUH CAN I DRIVE UR CAR AND RECORD IT? THEN UPLOAD IT ON TO RUclips DUDE LMAO
Sink Yogurt what does your comment even mean?
Sink Yogurt Admit to the genocide. ....... Then we'll talk 😉
you can tell the guy in the passenger seat was afraid of every ledge or hill he sees LOL
Matt, I'd love to know how this compares to the White Stallion MR2 you drove. I love turbo sounds, but I also love how contollable superchargers are.
Matt, please try to get car sponsors... Air fresheners, wipes, any stupid shit like that e will be more likely to buy as we are CAR GUYS, most of us dont want boxers that hold your balls in another pocket...
See, you're objectively wrong on a couple fronts here, and because you're nice about it, I will explain. Your first mistake is using the word "we" to describe an audience, whereas you're only actually describing your own personal opinion, or at most, the opinion of you and a few friends. That's a very small sample size compared to our 700,000 subscribers. So you can say "I don't want boxers..." but "we don't want boxers," is a stretch beyond your scope of information. Secondly, my audience is about 70% car enthusiasts and 30% random people searching car videos for random reasons. However, it is 98.7% male. So, if an advertiser wanted to get the most for their money, they are better off coming to us with male-focused products than they are with car-focused products. This is just very simple math. So while I understand your position from your personal point of view, a) you do not speak for everyone else, and b) the information on which you've made your case is wrong. Sorry.
TheSmokingTire Matt seriously, most your subscribers do not want boxers with pockets for your balls. Even "normal" noncar people do not tend to look for that product... You act high and mighty because you have youtube subscribers, thats pretty funny dude.RUclips doesnt make polls asking if men like briefs that hold your balls in place... Once again, dont take the bottom of the barrel sponsors offered to you, get something car guys will actually want/enjoy, since this is a car channel, not a fashion show, which in turn will help you as you will see more royalties or increased sponsorship funding(however your deal(s) are worked out) This is coming from someone who is sponsored in the automotive world. Do as you please, my opinion wont change your mind.
PS. Dont lose your roots.
there you are again, with "most." You don't know most of my subscribers. You probably don't even know 1% of 1% of my subscribers. You do not have the information to make an educated statement on this issue. That is just a fact. That is not me being "high and mighty." I just have analytics for millions of monthly streams, and you have only your own brain, making guesses. Since you claim to be in the industry (though your channel only has 127 subscribers) you should know all this and I should not need to explain it to you.
+thesmokingtire You think life revolves around youtube thats honestly sad for a grown man. I do not make youtube videos for a living, i dont care for subs. THE AVERAGE PERSON doesnt wear or want boxers with a pocket for their balls, their is a reason they arent popular and sold in major retailers. You have millions of analytics saying your subscribers want boxers with pockets for their balls... Show me this shit, no where on my youtube partner page(yes i am a youtube partner with only 171 subs), since like I said I AM SPONSORED OUTSIDE OF RUclips. Please show me oh great youtube god, where the hell youtube shows analytics on boxers with pockets for balls... Mine doesnt... Show me where yours does. imgur.com/rSNJTHW
That Car Guy ok guy, It's clear you don't like sheath boxers. I got that. But the increasing anger in your comments means that I am now done interacting with you. Have a good day.
Got any viagra bro? world wide shipping? -- just asking
Awesome car and awesome video. I'm a big fan of the FF818 and this was great to see on the smoking tire
His Faceometer says it all. The bigger the grin, the more fun and powerful the car is! Verdict? Looks like that is one hell of a fun ride!
Finally, I've been asking a lot in the comment for some coffee.
car sounds are awesome!
my senses are confused, my eyes see exotic, my ears hear wrx and I like it
You know how I know Matt likes this car? The smile meter is off the chart.
