Dude, you were literally the face of Subispeed and the reason why most of us got our parts was because of your content and install videos. They are the ones losing here...I wish you all the best on the fresh start and keep up the great work you have been doing all these years! It's great to see you bouncing back and I truly mean it!
Just this 100% I've bought so many parts based on watching you struggle through installs and suggestions. I will never again buy anything from a JB Autosports company.
You're a great content creator Kevin. I learned a lot from your channel and from your videos on FTSpeed. The one reason my DRL's work for my OLM headlights is because of you! So I will continue to follow you and support your content.
Happy to hear that I've been able to help you and I truly appreciate your support!
Definitely fire up a Patreon, charge a couple of bucks to get videos early or something like that. If it raises money to help you make content and grow the channel, why not do it?
I'll give it some more thought. Thank you!
Love this idea!!
I do agree if it’ll at least bring something to people who put money into it. If it was just a donation I’d think otherwise as well…
Merch > Patreon
Factual. Ik he doesn’t want it but he deserves it. Especially after what subiespeed did.
I'll be honest...the first video I have seen from you was your explanation of being fired. I subbed right away. Your passion and enthusiasm shows and its contagious. I hope things keep going well for you on your own route. I'm here for it👍
Props for not letting your change of circumstances put you off doing what you want to do. My only suggestion, and I realise this is probably not exactly what you might want to hear after just building your site and making shirts, is that 'Driven Media' is already a pretty overpopulated brand name, both as an established YT channel, as well as other websites and companies. I'm no marketing expert, but I feel like it could be prudent to individualise yourself a bit more to avoid confusion and make it easier for people to find you online.
Dude, you’re meant to do these videos! Keep it up! You have so many of us behind you and supporting you!
“It’s not much, but it’s mine.”
And it can’t be taken away. Way to take that first step forward. On to better things.
Keep up the awesome work, Kevin! Really enjoy your videos. That part of the center console really does scratch extremely easily, and I was looking for something nice to cover it up. Heard about Twins Carbon through your video and purchased one of the center console covers.
Dont stop building that GR86 and your dream, you already know the format that we want👍
Can’t wait to see the finished “GARAGE!” 💯
YOU deserve 1 MILLION subscribers...
You and your video perform at a great level😁...
Your the reason why I got a BRZ in the first place🤣
Bro your videos singlehandedly swayed me over to the red GR86. I was previously a hard neptune blue fan but your car just looks so good!
Can't go wrong with red!!!
I don't have 3 86/BRZ buddies on insta for the twinscarbon giveaway but I'll share it regardless. Thanks for the up-to-speed Kevin!
Keep that positivity up man! Proud you're still pushin up and your vid quality still good as hell!
Can't keep me down! Let's keep it going!!
Good to see you up and running & even better
Never looking back!!
Kevin , Welcome back !
Glad to see you smile 😃
Thanks again for your review and information 👍
Thank you for supporting and watching!!
Kevin is the to go guy for anything gr86
spent 4 months building my ST to stage 2 full bolt ons all the good shit within 4 months, had a older lady total it. thought i was done for a long time with the car scene. months later im back, found your channel right when i got my car. glad to see were both coming back up now:)
I just got my 2022 Gr86 & watching your content is freaking amazing. You are inspiring, please keep doing what you do!!! ❤
I actually dig the garage lighting
Kevin you are a great person and provide so much to the car community. I don’t personally own a subie or a car with a boxer in it (not yet at least) but I am just a huge fan of you and how you carry yourself so it doesn’t matter where you go the people will follow. Super happy to see you are doing well and taking care of yourself. Keep making bangers !
i’m getting a gr86 in 4 years after i finished mazda 3 payments. hopefully it’s still available. i will keep these videos in mind if i ever start modding it. keep it up and good luck!
It was great meeting with you in Iowa. Can’t wait to buy your shirts dude and see what’s in store in the future
never ordered something so fast in my life! haha. Snagged that white crewneck! Congrats dude! Excited for you and this journey!
It's Amazing to see you hit the ground running like this, I know great things are on the way
Hey man!! Good luck with your new start. I am from Europe (Spain) and I know you because I just ordered a GR86. And so do many people in the Spanish 86/BRZ community so keep up the good work and everything will turn out great. You are a GR86 embassador man 💪
Seeing that DIY string alignment would be really useful!
Good to see you bouncing back. I don't have an 86 yet. But after watching all of your videos on it I'm definitely looking into getting one.
I can write on the back of a stamp what I know about cars but I like your ethos and content. Going it alone is always hard but nothing worth having is going to be easy - you’ll smash this man 👌🏻🍻 Supporting you from the UK 🇬🇧
All of the carbon trim looks great! The door panel cover might be a tad much but man it fits real nicely on it!
Glad to see you are still out there and doing great things. Very inspirational 👍
Hey Kevin just to give you a heads up but the name "Driven Media" might give you some problems down the road. There is a British car channel I follow called Driven Media (Link: www.youtube.com/@DrivenMedia) They are in the process of having to change their name because of legal issues (copyright I think) so you might need to have a back up plan incase if the lawyers come after you for your name.
Thank you for the heads up on this. Before I chose to start Driven Media, I checked with my state and the US database to see if the name was taken or trademarked. It does not seem as though it is so I believe I should be alright. I believe because they're not located in the US that it doesn't affect me.
@@KevinVo No problem just wanted to pass on what I had heard and with legal issues it's always hard to know just how far they can reach.
I look forward to your exhaust videos btw as that is likely one of the first mods I will be doing besides headers.
I found you while looking up WRX videos for my ride. I'm still here supporting you! Keep up the great work!
I appreciate you! I’m an electrician and a mini split heat pump would be you best option. It’s not the cheapest but is efficient. Not only will it heat the garage in winter but will cool it in summer. I’m in Massachusetts so costs here are probably comparable. HVAC companies usually supply and install the equipment. But a licensed electrician should be used to wire it. My guess is $5000 give or take. But take that with a grain of salt.
Love the trim you've gotten on the car! And also really digging the raw garage aesthetic! It feels relatable and pure!
Seeing you start from scratch is motivating me to start my RUclips channel as well. Only difference is people know you already, BUT I'm very glad to see you're moving forward with a new chapter and this one will be better than the last. Keep it up!
Welcome back! Looking forward to what you bring us in the future! Drive on!
Just a heads up there is another channel out there that is driven media in the uk. They changed their name a few weeks ago because they had a copyright issue with their previous name. Glad to see you are keeping it going. Figured I would help you out before it becomes an issue
How is it going?
Good good here! Glad to see you again!!!
A fresh start is always the best start.
It's going! We're hanging in there and pushing through! Thank you for the love!
Glad to see the second video since the "event" keep pushing we are here for you. Also would you entertain doing a video about how to properly clean the enging compartment. Thanks.
You really are good at these videos! I can tell you I love the time attack racing videos too. I am sure many of us feel that way. Great job man.
Bro just keep busting out the content and you be gucci. Everyone loves your work.
Super happy you're off to a new beginning and fresh start, Kev! You're the reason why I had interest in the WRX and GR86 with all the cool videos you made. Now that you have learned the tricks of the trade, time to apply it to your own business. BTW, me and my friends, and their friends have already unsubscribed to subispeed since we are loyal to you and will follow you, the OG of Subaru mods! :P. Keep reaching out to more vendors to partner up with them for WRX and GR86 parts, and you will be even more successful as a promoter. Try to purchase a WRX new gen or old gen and do videos on that as well in the future for more subs for the WRX fam. Just some ideas for ya!
New video with an amazing new attitude for a fresh start. I'm following along!
Let's aim for 50k subs by the end of the year and 100k by the end of January! Rooting for you!
Hey Kevin, you’re extremely good at what you do and I couldn’t be happier to see you continuing to make content. If you need any help with anything, it’d be an honor to work with you. A fellow midwestern 86 owner is a friend in my book:)
Keep up the good work Kevin! I have learnt a lot from your videos on FTSpeed, your videos definitely helped me to decide what parts should I go with and helped me for installing it easier, the 86 community needs you!
Good to see you're back making content! I'm excited to see the channel grow!
Time to pickup one of those driven merch. It looks so cleaaaan! Love your content man, been watching you for a while and you have such a positive attitude and really good video production that is clear and easy to follow. Wish all the best for you with this new chapter man, you deserve all the success! You've helped me and a lot of other people with so many things on this platform. All the best wishes to you and your family!
Yo Kevin I'm here in cedar rapids iowa. Blizzard is incoming. Stay safe. I got winters wheels on the 2019 wrx and I'm ready to go if I have to be out in the weather. Keep pushing content man. I'll be tuning in!
just subscribed to your channel. I'm glad you are putting in time to grow this channel
Appreciate your support!!
Amazing seeing you looking so much better Kevin! 2023 new start, onwards and upwards!
Hey Kevin! I would like to see a quieter performance exhaust setup that is neighbor friendly! It would be beneficial if you’d cover how future proof the new exhaust would be considering forced induction down the road.
Sweet. We are like hours away to check out that build.
Heck yes. New subscriber and loving it. Get it. Shirt purchased!
Buckle up! We're just getting started!! Thank you for the support!!!
Dude I like the led light bars on your garage ceiling
Amazing video, great production/editing! Your skills really show through and really provides a enjoyable viewing experience that I felt during your days at Subispeed. Keep up the good work and please continue on!
Thank you for your communication since it is key. Just to note, Subispeed has now disabled comments on their latest youtube and instagram posts.
Glad to see you bouncing back!
Glad to see you’re back to making content! Stay positive and continue to use this as momentum to grow your own business. I agree with others you should start a Patreon. Happy to purchase some merch too!
I don't even own a Subaru, find you very entertaining otherwise. Merry Christmas Kevin🎄
Yes, Merch would be nice. We need something for the Honda boys.
Maybe one day I'll buy a Honda! I miss my S2k...
@@KevinVo or maybe a Type R. Lol…coming from an FK8 guy.
Kevin! This made my day! I just got off work at 6pm and this was the first video to pop up on my feed! I’m so glad you decided to do a fresh start with videos in your own garage, and I am so excited to see what your channel brings! I’m definitely going to be ordering a shirt, and this video definitely made my day!💯😎
Please
Make a video on a chassis mount wing or gooseneck wing!
If you are planning to do a string alignment I would be very interested to see a comparison between string alignment and using toe plates + camber gauge. Two popular approaches and a comparison of the time involved and accuracy would definitely be interesting!
Love the new setup. It's what's realistic to the true DIY car enthusiast. I love the GR. Makes me want to dump my VA WRX for one.
I would definitely insulate the walls and throw a wood burning stove in there. depending on your wood situation, you may be able to get wood for free. I added a wood stove in my shop and it's been amazing. And before you think I have some hillbilly shed for a shop, I have a full machine shop with 6 figures in equipment including a haas cnc mill.
Subscribed, liked, commented. Can't wait for your 22+ GR86/BRZ F1 Blinking Module to come back in stock.
Insulation before heater from my friend, I've got a couple options to see if you're ever over in Cedar Rapids
You're doing great man. Don't lose hope. You've got this!
Redoing it so we can see the arms being installed would be dope
Hey! Glad to have ya back! Please do a Cusco front LCA tutorial! Mine is just chilling in a box been waiting to install mine haha
Let's fkn go Kev!!! Excited for new beginnings. I love this shot. Feels more realistic like we're there with you imo
Thank you! We're going to keep pushing and make it even better than ever!
@KevinVo I'm all here for it! I loved how you put you're thoughts in on the fabric of the shirts because I absolutely hate those thick fabrics. I use to have a red frs but crash. Nearly 2 years with the supra now. Happy holidays friend!
Bet you wished you got the premium with the heated seats in that winter weather.
I think the CF on the door panels is a bit much and I'd be annoyed by any glare since it's pretty glossy.
I don't drive the car in the winter and I'll likely swap the seats out anyway so the premium wasn't worth it to me. Honestly, I think I'm going to be taking them off.
Thanks Kevin, I hope everything works out for you bro. I'm gonna be following you through these tough times.
Something that may help with RUclips stuff is adding noise deadening foam on top of the insulation.
Man your energy is radiating in this video, great stuff bro will continue supporting!
Great video Kevin! Def sticking around for more high end content like this
You set up shop quick! I was expecting to wait a bit longer for new vids! Way to go!
Wishing you all the very best on your new start. You make great content. And I love the new name!
That door panel loks great 👍
Sorry about the subispeed fiasco, i wasnt subbed but i am now and will watch more vids. Love the gr86! For heat a propane tank and salamander would heat that up no problem and be the most cost effective for the time being.
Appreciate your support!! I think the salamander would be a bit of overkill for my garage haha
@@KevinVo for sure. They can be large units. At its core it is a propane heater like the one i seen you got in your more recent vid. Glad you have a solution and I’m excited to see where your videos go!
It wont be a waste of time changing the arms back to make a DIY video. These tutorial videos are how TONS of newcomers actually find their way in the car community, it's how I started. And it's a great way to make content because it doesn't always have to be an expensive part you're changing. Just investment required for ROI
Dude!! I may not have nearly even a 16th of your subs but seeing you fresh and hustle even though you truly don’t need to but to do your thing with driven media, rebuild from the grown up is absolutely inspiring and pun intended Driven mentality! To fresh beginnings brutha! God bless and keep the hustle going!! 👊 🔥
I agree with firing up a Patreon! Your content is high quality and you seem to have a way of speaking that is simultaneously informative, friendly, and inviting.
As a proud owner of a BRZ, who's had to watch quite a few of your 'how-to' videos, I truly appreciate the work and effort you put in.
You got this bro!
And kevin, even tho you are recording in your garage, it still has amazing quality. 👏 keep uo the good work. Ill definitely pick up a shirt from the website.
As someone who buys a lot of custom design shirts, much respect for going the screen printing route!! Iron-on decals and DTG is very lazy and low value for merch. Looking forward to support by buying some!
Good to see you again!
Great to see you, Dan! Happy Holidays!
Depending on if you have a 220v drop or a gas line in the garage would be the deciding factor for a garage heater imo. They really make a huge difference. I don't even consider working on my car in the winter without turning my ceiling mounted dayton garage heater.
Keep doing these videos Kevin don’t give up!
You should do an alignment video on the rear, I’m wondering how you fixed the fitment in the back
Love the videos Kev. An inspiration to us all and I truly love the content. Keep it up brotha!
Always love see you work on the 86s! Just grabbed some of those overlays and can't wait to slap them onto the BRZ for a cleaner look
God bless ya bro. Not sure what happened with Subispeed, but it`s in the past. Look forward, stay positive.
Find ways to get more content out: test drives, repairing local peeps cars.... You have a great presents and are likeable - work it!
keep up with the good work, Kevin!
Always!!! Thank you!
Love the videos man, keep it up! Sending you all the best from Ankeny, IA. If you ever need a 22 WRX for content let me know, I'd be happy to let you film mine.
Can't wait for you to ship internationally 😊
Get a QuickJack for your garage, it is amazing! And great mobile lift for your car!
Happy to see starting a new chapter!! I look forward to seeing lots more of your videos from your garage!! 😎👍
im definitely going to need a Driven. banner for my 22 Gr86! been following you for a while now and you’ve been nothing but amazing to your supporters. we love you Kev!
Congrats on the fresh start. 😀
