So, a man goes into his shed, sees the street signs he stole and the bike he crashed, had some beer and gave birth to that. Good man.
i just have missed the mr2 part
That wit it's all aboot
Cursed man imo.
@@EALordBaalbe afraid
Don’t let your life insurance provider know you’re within 10ft of this thing lol
Dan... Camera man, editor, umbrella holder, Ai robot. What a versatile dude
and a well cooked lobster
Dan da man
Everybody needs a Dan
You forgot spider expert
The adjustable spoiler really sells it.
I miss that car so much! Everyone stalls it at first! Hahahaha
Thanks for giving Craig something to feed us with more fantastic content!! 🙌 Why did you put the engine in the passenger seat when there’s so much room behind the passenger compartment? Does it have to do with the transmission configuration?
Kinda easy to stall it when the front calipers are locked up
@JPTulo the transmission is built into the engine as 1 unit. Then it's chain driven from the transmission. It would be cool to see this little car be de sckeched a tad and run again
Jimmy, why would you install your rear wing to lift the race cars rear end around at high speed? Did you flunk basic aero principals... 😂😂😂😂. From a really old ex- pilot
@@bbrut3332Looks better with the smooth side up, it’s not like that’s actually a proper airfoil anyways.
As (very) seasoned Lemons team captain may I welcome you to the madness. Hope you take it to a race.
Just make sure it can pass current tech...a lot has changed in 5-10 years.
@@michaelkrenzer3296 this, absolutely.
Can confirm, Mike is well seasoned.
Sooo happy you didn't actually do all the b.s. of checking spark and timing and every single accessory before just turning it over and putting gas in. Instant subscribe, even though I've been watching for ages 😂
PB blaster on the BRAKES????? Every one knows to use WD40. Rookies.......
Brake lube
Burns off faster. Don’t really see the problem.
ROOKIE IS A COMPLIMENT!
True Pros use tri-flow😂😂😂😂
PB Blaster is better. And even better is graphite lube. But PB Blaster is better than wd40 lol
This whole channel is about jumping from one unfinished project to the next. Nothing ever gets done. You guys are fun to watch, just start finishing or following up on projects.
The sound of that engine alone is worth the price of admission.
This is just my 2 cents but .... Hear me out. You have a little rocket car with a bike engine that needs lots of love. With the right tag team I think this thing has HUGE potential. I know of a guy, you probably have heard of him, a gentleman by the name of Tony Angelo. He runs a pizza team with a racing problem somewhere in that other side of PA (from me, I'm an hour south of Erie). Tony knows a thing or two about making one of those little go carts with a car complex go around a track. I think this would be a perfect tag team for the two of you to conquer. I mean we are talking Superman vs. Incredible Hulk class crossover billing here. What a way to make an amazing little scoot, get those special guest views for each of your channels, and best of all us die hard fans get to see two PA boys bring that little shop of horrors of a monster back to life. It's a win win for everyone, I can't see a downside. Unless you count the 5 pounds you'll inevitably put on eating the pizza and hoagie (yes I said hoagie) diet Tony has strictly trained his body to survive on. Who else wants to see this epic colab? Like and share!!!
Heard that Tony had to sell the shop
hell yeah I wanna see that
I live in the Appalachian Mountains of PA so I am very familiar w/ a lot of shady crap like this.... My friends and I had a car in the middle of the woods that we would go play w/ for years until someone burned it. It was falling apart on the road so we drove it deep into the woods and just parked it and every weekend we'd go out and play around w/ it and it was one of my favorite things to do on a boring summer day.... It was an almost complete car until other people found it and started stealing parts or smashing stuff but we used to go park our cars, someone would walk back and get the beater then we'd load it w/ all our party supplies then drive it about 10 miles in and have a huge party. It was the best place to have a car because you could drive it back and forth to the parking lot for more supplies or for gas stops but my favorite part was the loop track we made going through the woods... It was probably my favorite spring and summer activity until people ruined it for us then the fire department and the fire marshall found out we was out there so they put up no trespassing signs and they took what was left of the car. Good times in the mountains of PA.... 😂😁👍⛰️🖤
If tony moved back to his hometown area him and craig are about 2 hours apart. I'm from the same area as tony and I'm assuming that craigs near the old srk shop.
Id watch that. Tonys pretty talented
Love the channel. I’m a Lanc native and Lemons team captain (#609 / # 856 Cheesebolt Enterprises). We have the dubious distinction of being the team that built a Ford Tempo with twin Bandit 1200 motors arranged inline and transverse in the front, motors sticking a foot out of the hood. Three separate chain runs! Lemony goodness. Would love to see you at a race!
“Vice grip style” love the verbal collab
Derek's influence is omnipresent.
When that engine started? I've been a mechanic for 40 years and I still do the celebration when I get something working that wasn't. That feeling of success never gets old.
The world needs a The Bearded Mechanic and Vice Grip Garage collaboration video.
A Definite yes!
When Junk Worlds Collide!
Dan knew which one was the brake, congratulations 😅
Best channel on RUclips. So happy you're gaining steam. The only channel with sponsor bits worth watching.
I know the CBR is cool and all but you should put an 1832 cc Goldwing engine and transmission because it’s shaft driven
This is a very important idea 💡 Please take note. Shafted drive with make you run fast with less issue in that car moto mix
I'm not sure if this happens a lot with bikes, but it happens a lot with older cars. If the soft lines on the brakes get old, they start to rot from the inside and start swelling. This allows the hydraulic pressure of the master cylinder to force fluid into the caliper but doesn't allow it to flow back when the brake is released. Thus, the brake(s) locks up every time you apply them. The only solution then is to replace the soft lines.
I think this was the first video where you started to work on something and I could enjoy seeing you driving around with it at the end of the episode. That was a very nice experience.
He had the silver wing cx500 running in it's first video .
Edited to add ; I've seen several videos of him getting relics running and riding on the first video .
One had a massive hole in the tank and he strapped another tank on it and rode many miles .
The man's a bike whisperer
I think that chain needs a jackshaft in the middle to separate it into two smaller sections to help with the flop.
That's a good idea. Getting the engine mounted better will help too
@@The_Bearded_Mechanic What was the deal with the skateboard wheel? Was it being used as a chain tensioner or something?
dual belt drive.
@@cjhickspe1399sounds like an idler since it would whip around under throttle lift. Massively sketchy, I love it
@@mwyatt222Absolutely if dual chains sprocket can fit on the transmission drive shaft.
I don't know if u are comedian or mechanic cuz ur commercial is so creative lol 😂😂
I once sold a 79 yamaha 1100 to a guy for his dwarf car project. He let me take it for a rip when it was done and it was an absolute unit. They are so much fun and surprisingly cheap these days.
I'm a lazy perfectionist. when I see something like this I think, so much potential and room for improvement but I also think, damn that's a lot of work. Craig I seriously hope you squeeze every last drop of perfection out of that thing. I'm hoping next video covers every nook and cranny of that monstrous V-hickle, but also, be safe and don't over work yourself.
Awesome! I'd love to be a part of that Frankenstein-car-bike-thingy. Frankenstein are right up my alley. Have fun, Boys!
That ad read though 😂
My first car was an '86 MK1 MR-2 AW11. It was a pretty cool car for the 80s. Revvy little 4 cylinder right in your ear and balanced perfectly. That one looks a little sad. I did my first parts store parking lot brake job on that car in college.
It's a Honda. A stripped down, Frankenstein's monster, but it's a Honda. Of course it'll get running.
What a beautiful motorcycle with the world's most beautiful mechanic. I mean Bearded Mechanic.
Freudian slip. We know what you REALLY meant 💕💕💕😂
Brother, You absolutely need to bring this unit to the Freedom Factory and race in the 2.4 hours of LeMullets, this coming Nov 15 & 16, 2024. This is nonnegotiable, you must.
isn't "the 2.4 hours of les mullets" in cleetus' crown vics tho? cleeter should do a lemons type race thing at the freedom factory where you can get a bunch of cool SAFE contraptions whizzing around his track! it would be another epic successful, cheap? racing series for the freedom factory for sure!
This was an awesome episode. Dan was a robot and finally helped by holding the umbrella.
This definitely needs a part 2 like to see this thing fly!!!
If you overdo the PB Blaster on the braking surfaces use gasoline to clean, ol skool style
I love this kind of work Craig, keep it up man
Here's a tool that I've found is very nice for working on disc brakes, it's the Astro Tools 1830 Onyx impact gun. It's a very compact impact gun that can get into some pretty tight spaces. If your fist will fit then this will fit, and it has about 400 FT-LBS of torque in high gear. It doesn't jump out of your hand and even comes in either a 3/8" or 1/2" driver. At about $132.99 for the 3/8" drive one (at least as of June 2024) it's not the cheapest, but dag nabbit if the thing doesn't work nice.
28:10 "Right Meow" Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly bimbly from tree to tree?
I really need Craig to get a Discovery Channel show with Dan at the camera.
Also please take this on and make it less sketchy with the goal of getting in a race.
Come onnn, this is by far my favorite project on any channel we the people need to see this baby ripppping!!! Smoking tires and doing cool motorcycle-car things... Craig to further your channel i can assure you this project will definitely get you the most views...
As a "big guy" (BG - 3XL)... TBH, it gave me the Willy's (and not in the good way) seeing how jammed you are in the car with that motor... but with no quick-disconnect on the wheel.
I had a Final-Destination-ish vision of a fuel line that's been in a storage container for 10 years having its last hoo-rah while you're stuck trying to get out from under that wheel
"Craig, I'm running out of angles to be in your way" 😂😂 fantastic Dan!! 😂
Id watch you fix everything from a lawn mower to an airplane. keep it up craig love it!
Aren't those just the cutest little calipers? I thought this was the funniest episode in a while. The part where you said you were gonna try to get to the side of the car without passing out sent me into laughing convulsions for 5 minutes. And Dan..."yo its doing engine stuff".... Funny episode.
Gonna go straight out to my car and spray my breaks!!!
Thank you for the tip!
Just send jimmy a airplane with a motorcycle engine in it.😮😮
He would fly it, no question.
A rotary one, from a Suzuki
Jokes on you there’s trikes that use something like that
Jimmy bought several airplanes with your basic snowmobile/jet ski engines in Texas last year.
Rotax? Are in planes, side by side and snow scooters.
Love the sassy jump landing off the car😂😂
Y'all got me with the synchronized Woahhhhhs at crank up! Good poop y'all.
Its come to a point with this channel where its not 'can he get it running' but 'will he finish it....'
They race a couple car classes powered with bike engines at the local track here on the west coast, (dirt oval),. Friday nights, ( tonight as I post this in fact ),. The cars often look rough for a number of reasons, lol. I'll let others ponder as to why. Just may be my favorite kind of motorsports. Thanks for the reminder - I may fight the traffic and head over there tonight! Another good one here. Cheers. 👍
Are Legends cars one of them? Or mini sprints? Or Bandoleros?
Lemons is the thing. We love doing it. I was literally just telling a friend about this car specifically. You have a hold of a Le. Ons legend. Get it ready in time for the Corvette museum in Sept and we'll see you there.
Can't belive it, but i guess i got to, Im lookin right at it! Perfect
I saw a Hayabusa-powered Trabant once in my life. It was also converted from FWD to RWD. It ran like hell 😊
Love it! Collab with Jimmy FTW!!!! Polk County represent!
Had to make another comment. 10 minutes in an Craig is a freaking savage right now and I love it😂😂😂😂😂
Vice grip x Bearded mechanic crossover?! The KNOWLEDGE
First thing I would do is put detachable steering wheel
The chain issue should be fixable with a slipper clutch. Those old MR2's are sweet handling cars... providing everything's still square and plumb with the chassis.
Lots of content to be created on this thing. Cant wait for future videos of this thing!!!
Looks like the umbrealla suffered some severe injuries in the closing shot 😂
time to get the Winnebago ready for the next years lemons race.
I WANNA SEE MORE DARN IT!! I think you have a completely new segment to your videos. First, get the trails Honda CX up and running. Next, the American Choppers bike running or ship it off, and just say; that's best left for the professionals who built or know the turbo setup. Then get back on this Honda Car. Great great project and you'll make it work like it should have all along.
Honda/TOYOTA car! The best of both worlds.
ATTENTION EVERYONE: IT HAS BEEN MADE *VERY, VERY* CLEAR THAT PB BLASTER SHOULD *NOT* BE USED ON OR ANYWHERE NEAR BRAKES.
Very true, gt-85 is clearly the superior choice.
I may still be a little fuzzy on that...
Yes I agree, only use WD40 😂
Your brakes your choice.
So what you’re saying is that I should put PB Blaster on my brakes? Heading to the garage now…
Dang it, Jimmy! Now I feel like I need to build one of these.
VIce Grip style huh? Nice shout out, Derek is a great dude!
YOU ARE AMAZING that PB blaster works great on breaks
This is what we want more of, haven't watched yet but looking forward to seeing this mr2, I like these cars, with a motorbike engine will be awesome.
I sincerely love this content. Thank you.
Very cool race car. Love the looks of the MR2 👍
That thing is awesome. You have to fix that bad lad. Mount the motor properly and and that thing will be a rocket
Craig your content is incredible...would you do a video with a little backstory on your mechanical history? If youre comfortable sharing of course. You mentioned growing up around race cars and you run an amazing shop, i would love to more about your story.
Me too.
I had a cbr1000rr years ago and the sound of this video had my heart rate rising.
That's a quite interesting project. I think if you split the chain drive with an intermediate sprocket it would lessen the swing on the chain. I'm also wondering if the diff itself isn't too heavy for the chain, given that it is a car's one.
Watching the engine jump around in the first test drive had me laughing , second drive was just as funny🤣🤣👍
Amazing. Nice work, Craig and Dan!
And so we get a new project to go with all the other projects in the shop. A man after my own heart.
Nothing more exciting than how Craig gets when something starts
Yeah, he gets that 😃 expression.
look forward to seeing this built back up
Hey, you have the big yellow batteries just get the battery powered fan. I can’t live without mine
As a gun guy, not a mechanic, wouldn't Windex and silicone oil be better than PB for brake cleaning? Neutralize the corrosive Russian surplus brake primers and lay down a protective coating.
Mini drift car potential is high
Put GoPro on the rear so you can see the chain 😊
This is so cool! cant wait to see it what you do with it.
One of the best ad spaces I've seen!😂
I have an actual motorcycle I could use a lot of help with. So much fun to be had. Wiring issues, maybe engine issues, and some body issues. If you would like to work on an expensive, nonrunning MOTORCYCLE I got you bro.
I can't wait for more videos on this, super exciting
Just in time for lunch Craig 👍
There's a possibility for a new sticker for the wheels.
"These wheels are MAD"
A race car with a CBR1000 engine in it, I love it!! That thing is awesome.
I do think you should do something about the engine mounts, the engine is totally moving when you are driving it
Digging the Toyonda. I don't even hate the Gulf colors. it is a shame the CBR didn't come with a kick starter, tho.
Great vid! I'm currently in the middle of doing this with a 1984 Pontiac Fiero!
I used to have an 85 Mr2, Loved it
That's cool. Need to see more of that 👍🏼👍🏼
As someone who has done a few motorcycle engine swaps into buggies etc always seems like the chain and shift linkages were always a nightmare but once they work its damn fun.
Great work :)
The guys at Faster With Cotten & Newbern (w/o Finnegan ☹️) had the same problem with a Honda S600 car (ca. 1970, pre-Civic) with a big honkin' bike motor in back. A nightmare with the chain drive and shifter. The rear axle and engine should be mounted on a swingarm, so the chain length never changes. And an air shifter for the trans. And an "open" diff, for no bind in corners.
“Maybe you should get a running start..” 😂😂
The rubber line usually needs to be changed they will swell and allow fluid into the calipers but will not allow the fluid pressure to release. But maybe the wd 40 and screwdriver cleaning will fix all that?
Craig and Dan...absolute duo of complete entertainment! Cooking show, Lego assembly, gardening, surgery, you two could make it all awesome and entertainment! Go Craig and Dan (Greg has a lot of work ahead of him), keep moving forward!
Man I see the sweat. I don't miss those PA summers.
From a distance you look at it and looks cool. Then you get close and show all the parts then you like omg, it could be awesome.
I like how much you get dan involved in the work!
amazing. cant wait to see this this upgraded by you
That thing looks fun, I think it needs a little more ade!
You have officially joined all the RUclips greats by getting a lemons racecar. I want to see the orange car in the background
