Yup, I see that. Wasn’t it Jamie that came to Ol Cleeter’s rescue when their rental truck broke down and Jamie drove for 12 hours there and to the event!
Was probably gonna edit it but he's doing his in shop videos, along with Shane's buggy and turbo'd Yoda build. Dude has a lot on his plate, plus tuning and travel. Lol. He holds his shit together better than I ever could 🤘
Jamie, your dedication to everyone is amazing!! You are always the 1st one to get your hands dirty if someone needs help! I would personally like to buy you a cold beer cause I know you damn well deserve it ;) Keep up the great work fellas. Keep the awesome content coming!!
Brent, Your suspension is inducing your traction oscillations! Ideally, you should move the pivot UP and/or if that is unfeasible, you need to stiffen the crap out of it then increase the damping even more. I am talking like 2x and 5x respectively minimum. At least that's my initial impressions. It would be an interesting suspension to plot and see anti squat and dive numbers, has anyone ever done that sort of analysis on it? Its pretty interesting... I've worked with alot of suspensions and think it would be pretty interesting to sort that one out! Keep digging!
I was looking at the same on another video and posted this (copy/paste) ....."Have you guys considered eliminating the front suspension or relocating pick up points of the shocks? Car is dipping the front end of the side skirts towards the ground when loaded, torque at the wheels is lifting front of the engine up. That seems like a lot of wasted energy. Maybe relocate shock mounts from trans tunnel to the base of windshield to send all that load to the back. Your lever arm pushing front tires down is too small, get the rear shocks pushing front of the car down once loaded by redirecting torque thru the chassis, that does not seem to be happening with current set up as all the load is being redirected towards the ground due to shock positioning. I might be making no sense as I cant see how the car is built, my apologies if that is the case. Great car, really enjoying the content!!" ....... It will be interesting to know how much weight if being transferred to the rear tires compared to a "normal" 9 sec Civic. I was thinking that maybe with minor modifications to the front sled and roll cage, shocks could be mounted from the top of the sled to some place near base of windshield
Imo the frame needs to be gusseted better or have something stiffened to stop that flex. Its a very unusual setup and is gonna take some unusual fabbing to get it right.
@@Hayawasa it’s more than unusual lol doesn’t make sense to put a motor that far up on a little car like that with a suspension like that car hops the whole time it drives frame flex’s so much it looks like it’s gonna snap I think they smoked to much of that good good when designing thsi
Brent definitely just goes with the flow and instead of getting mad he just says we will just do better next time. If that isn't the best attitude anyone can have then someone please tell me where I can see a better one but I'm definitely here for life 😁😁😁
It's true. But, he's real young, and figuring things out on his own. Completing RMRW in the Roudesy (sp) really moved him up a huge notch though. No one can take that completion away from him. I hope they all just keep at it!
Many people could only wish to have Brent's passion, and I'm one of them. He is a no frills straight up guy, and you just see his eyes light up when he's able to help or just witness the other guys doing what they love. True inspiration to myself and I'm sure many others.
What an awesome time, that was my first event since I was a kid. First time seeing bully and the grinch and the mr2 in person, what a great bunch of guys taking the time to chat with all the fans. Hope I can make it out to the Tucson event in January, totally forgot that was happening. Maybe we’ll see gunmetal... sure hope so. Not gonna lie, that 1jz 4Runner wheelie was just savage!
Hey Brent this is your buddy from Florida I haven't forgot you bro I seen you at cleetus and cars Bradenton.you will be getting a package in the mail for Sho Nuff to wire that bad boy up I promised you and I will deliver sorry about the bully bro you are working so hard but I see a 8 second pass in your future love you guys
Everything Brent does he does it truly from the heart! His passion is unquestionable. And it filters through out the team. Too bad THE BULLY keeps fighting back. But Brent will harness THE BULL eventually and ride him to victory. Love watching the teams progress.
Things to keep in mind regarding the Bully's front suspension design. This car was conceived and built by Brent and friends almost 20 years ago to be the worlds fastest (edit:"quickest" my bad) FWD car. That is huge for some young men with a dream, and it was cool enough to get invited to show at SEMA! During it's life it has gone through many drivetrain changes which have only one thing in common... the center pivot design. Brent decided to honor his viewing public with a resurrection of the Bully for their appearance at Cleetus and Cars (thanks Brent!) In a amazing display of teamwork this miracle build went from a 260 hp V6 to the 800+hp beast it is today in under two weeks! Amazing! Now as many of you have noticed the chassis has some serious catching up to do. With each and every drivetrain change the center of mass relative to the front tire patch (fulcrum point) and hinge dramatically changes. They have had very little time to tune the chassis to the new weight distribution and power, yet have made every attempt to entertain the masses as often as possible. Thanks again Brent! So I vote we give the team some well deserved time to wind down from the crazy race schedule, fix some customer cars and sell some shirts, then I'm sure some engineering brainstorms will help the team teach the Bully some new FWD tricks. I see the Bully running FWD 7.99's sometime next year, but I am very optimistic since I feed off Brent's positive attitude as often as possible! Thanks for reading.
Just finished watching Kyle's runs (congrats on his PB), Shane smash down a 100oz. drink and Emilio meeting his Dad Hector, now I wanna see how the living f**k you managed to shear those axles Brent!! 🤯🤯 Added edit: WOW! That was impressive. RIP axle and CV.
Lol yup I been telling him this he want listen I've even talked to him personally on here but I guess he don't want to admit his design has a flaw but that suspension was a bad idea on the firewall i mean it's not like he's off roading or rock crawling he's going down a flat surface with no turns u don't need suspension for that lmao!!!
@@bradtatum6585 Gotta look at it in perspective. Bully was designed a long time ago (almost 20years now?) and a lot of the NHRA ProFWD cars used a similar if not identical style. But on the flip side, if you can do better as you say you can by pointing out the Bully's flaws, don't just say it, build a car like that yourself with your design that you feel is the correct way and prove your way was right by beating him at the track. Otherwise, you're just white noise dude. 🤷
@@MafiaboysWorld not everyone has the money to built a car like that, or the ambition to do that, just to prove they are right, he is has a point though.
I hope all the Brents are as cool as you. You built a great team and even greater machines. And great hearing Jamie always thinking ahead and trying to help save time with prep. PFI can have my lunch $
Yes, we all love you guys, and I've never seen a guy with a more positive attitude than Brent, no matter the situation. When I look around the shop I see a lot of smiles on most all the people that are there, doesn't seem to matter whether it's those that work there or those having work done to those that are just stopping by to visit. Keep up the great work and the awesome vids y'all put out there for us to see, one of these days I hope I can get lucky and be blessed with the opportunity to meet each and every one of you. 😎 being from Florida, I'll give you a "hell ya brother" ! lol
i couldn't imagine doing a head job minutes before a race let alone having to do it twice because someone forgot to scrape it!!! lmao. You guys are killing it! keep up the great work looking forward to seeing the bully rip in the future
Awesome video great too meet everyone this last weekend. Keep it up guys. It was great meeting everyone and seeing the cars in person. Such a great experience
@@micahgary7403 you might know how to drive a manual but wait until your 14 year old self is going 100mph glued to the back of your seat in a 2500lb honda! Its a lot different. You might know how to shift but when the adrenaline is flowing and the pressure is on, its a lot more difficult. If i had to bet on one person to drive manual better, you or Kyle, id have to pick Kyle. You just cannot beat years of experience with just one or two attempts at driving.
Dude your videos are awesome, so real, so humble. Your crew/team is amazing, just awesome people getting together doing racecar stuff, Hope to meet you all in person one day and buy you all some beers. Keep up the footage and amazing work.
Always prepare for the un expected “my dad” we live in Washington and if it wasn’t last minute woulda flown down to watch my son is eating this up, we’re building his first D series hes 14, keep it going team pfi! FTW
@@jxke welp... You should watch it again. Classic. He didn't slam into ya, he didn't bump ya, he didn't nudge ya. He rubbed ya, and rubbin son is racin. #rubbinsracin
think the hopping during the burnout did the axles in , wonder if you need to set the shocks and the tirepressure up way different than on a regulair dragster to make it bow down a little smoother
The shocks are loading and unloading way to fast that's why it hops. They need to slow the shocks down so it loads up on the launch then unloads and settles down around the 60ft mark and go down the track
Cant wait to see you guys down here in tucson!!! I wasnt planning on going but looks like I will plan to be there!! Great video! Let's get the bully down the tucson track!!
Man I feel like this car is your unicorn, you seem like an awesome guy brent I hope you get this thing sorted out. She's most definitely gonna fight you till the end.
Everyone should go behind Brents back and make the Bully perfect for him and do a couple passes if thats even possible, itd be the best christmas gift for the heart of the shop!!
Hell Yeah Let's Go!... Awesome video & IFO event Brother! Thanks for sharing y'alls experience and no worries breaking the axle that racing sometimes It's Rough, It's Tough, It's Bully Stuff! ya will be back rippin soon 👍👍 PFISPEED/BOOSTEDBOIZ Rcks!!! 🤜🤛😎🔰🔰🔰💪 (edit) Also hope I get the chance to finally meet y'all/The PFiSpeed/BoostedBoiz Team/Family at the IFO event this September 9/27/20 in St. Louis/Madison IL. at the GatewayMotorSportsPark!/Worldwide Technology Raceway!
Ya'll got this just getting better and better. Bully got the lunch money this time but the MR2 was ripping. Poor Roman loosing a map sensor of all things and up against someone who wanted a win anyway they could get it was a downer. For the most part though the reason I love this sport is most will do all they can to help others make a pass. And Jamie man you truly are an MVP, so awesome...
Brent, you are THE most Zen racer I have ever witnessed. Maybe its because the bully has beaten you down so many times that you just always expect something, or maybe its because you are the literal reincarnation of the buddha. I'm not sure, and it's too soon for me to tell lol. I know you guys will get this Hog racin someday soon, its inevitable. Keep on keepin on. Love your channel.
Brent, that's a very interesting beast you've built. I assume you added the hinge primarily to dampen out and absorb some of the shock loading at launch, between gears, etc. While this is a novel idea, I think you'll (unfortunately) find that there are lighter and more effective ways to do this. With a basic face plated (dog) manual transmission your pivot concept might work well, but even there a slipper clutch is a lighter trans solution, not to mention options like lower rpm 2-step, lower launch boost pressure, etc. With an automatic you can do all sorts of things to reduce the shock, including a higher stall converter, reprogrammed clutch timing, as well as lower rpm on the 2-step, lower boost pressure, etc. One of the biggest challenges you've got is there is so much mass moving that it is difficult to control (dampen). Inadequate dampening will be at extremely high risk of bouncing, creating far bigger shock loading that the pivot itself will have any hope of absorbing. These big cyclic shock loads will wreck havoc on everything from CV joints to differential housings to axle shafts... I truly hate to say it, but I believe you'll have better performance (that is much easier to tune) with a rigid frame, still with the engine and all extra weight (turbos, etc.) as far forwards as possible, combined with some ultra-long wheelie bars that under acceleration "cheat" the wheelbase into a much longer one, resulting on a huge percentage of weight increase on the front (driven) tires. I expect you've got your heart set on making the hinge concept work. If so, I suggest you think about what it will take to dampen out the essentially vertical bouncing that the rigid control arms are completely unable to dampen (tires aren't very good at damping vertical motion). Adding in a pair of relatively standard control arms, springs and shocks will allow Bully to absorb the energy from the vertical bouncing (greatly reducing it). That will convert all of the mass of the engine, trans, diff, etc. from unsprung weight to sprung weight (allowing you to control it). After that you can experiment with the pivot stiffness & damping compared to stiffness & damping at the control arms and figure out if there really is any benefit to the hinge. Good luck
Just keep digging fixing these problem they are only showing now as your getting closer to the real car and what it can be !! And when it breaks on you like that am I the only one who wants to fly out there and start fixing it up with them to see what it can do next (from London lol) keep going PFI !!
When you guys broke the axle I remember seeing in the dyno videos that the driver side wheel was wobbling. I doubt that has anything to do with it breaking the axle but thought I’d point it out
I'm not surprised the axle broke because that front left wheel is buckled to crap and most likely shat the bearing and everything around it. I seen the wheel wobble on the Dyno and it's bad. Need new wheels dude 😎👌🏻
Jamie is the dude everyone wants in their crew! The guy is a selfless friend like all should be but few are.
That's exactly why Jamie and brent make a kick ass team. Very positive very humble!
👍👍
Yup, I see that. Wasn’t it Jamie that came to Ol Cleeter’s rescue when their rental truck broke down and Jamie drove for 12 hours there and to the event!
Well said!!!!💪🏼👊🏼👍🏻
I love how Brent stops and restarts what he's gonna say like he's gonna edit it out but still keeps it in the video. He is such a genuine guy
Looked to see if someone had mentioned what I was thinking, the guys a breath of fresh air with all the other shite on RUclips
That's what I like. It's not edited to make it seem like it's more then it is. Just a bunch of genuine guys with a passion and it shows

Same with the dude that told jamie to cut it lol
What turbo yoda build are you talking about
I love how you leave the bloopers in, it makes the videos feel so real, keep doing what your doing Brent.
Hell yeah Brent is keeping it real

Just got done watching Kyles video! Awesome timing
That's Kyle, somehow managing to miss a gear on a sequential transmission. True BoostedBoiz style!

Don't get too stressed Brent. You're doing an amazing thing. Love the joy you spread. Inspiration.

I think we need some "DO IT FOR THE BULLY" shirts!
"The Bully take my launch money again"😅😅
That needs to be a t shirt

Not gonna lie, that 1jz 4Runner wheelie was just savage!
The wheel hop on bully cant help that axle any. I'd say tightening the shocks on the front would do some good. That shake is pretty violent.
The shirt was perfect for the situation lol, "It'll be fine." lol

Bully or no Bully, so completely proud to be a supporter of PFI SPEED AND BOOSTEDBOIZ. You've come a long way I can only imagine how far you will go.
Going to continue having problems with bully until you remove the extra flex in front
Way too much flex. No wonder it ate a axle. Bouncing getting light and then heavy as it bites.
Agree I'm looking at the lack of bracing between the front rails and firewall...be very concerned of that chassis cracking/collapsing over time....

Kyle drilling that plate like a maniac with no lube. Old mate casually moves the wd40 over to him as a hint and he still doesn't take it 😂😂
The bully is gonna take your milk money every time y'all meet at the track! Hope to see a clean pass with it soon. God bless you and good luck.
Kyle had the best looking car at the race! That MR2 is just a great lookin car, and the Bully just looks pissed off!
I love when You share a little primp with us at the beginning of a video Brent!😜
Already 19k over the 200k mark! Keep on slaying boiz!
Thanks for the quick turnaround on the video, wish I could’ve been there!!
Brent, you are THE most Zen racer I have ever witnessed. Maybe its because the bully has beaten you down so many times that you just always expect something, or maybe its because you are the literal reincarnation of the buddha. I'm not sure, and it's too soon for me to tell lol.
I know you guys will get this Hog racin someday soon, its inevitable.
Keep on keepin on. Love your channel.
Another awesome video guys! Great work
Nice video! Thank You for sharing the fun!!!
These big showdowns are so hype
Thanks for the great video! Hope you guys make it up north one day.
damn i love 90's and early 2000 civics
ill take anyone of these civics. any
But thanks for the content guys it’s gonna keep me busy on my road to recovery
Brent, that's a very interesting beast you've built. I assume you added the hinge primarily to dampen out and absorb some of the shock loading at launch, between gears, etc. While this is a novel idea, I think you'll (unfortunately) find that there are lighter and more effective ways to do this. With a basic face plated (dog) manual transmission your pivot concept might work well, but even there a slipper clutch is a lighter trans solution, not to mention options like lower rpm 2-step, lower launch boost pressure, etc. With an automatic you can do all sorts of things to reduce the shock, including a higher stall converter, reprogrammed clutch timing, as well as lower rpm on the 2-step, lower boost pressure, etc.
One of the biggest challenges you've got is there is so much mass moving that it is difficult to control (dampen). Inadequate dampening will be at extremely high risk of bouncing, creating far bigger shock loading that the pivot itself will have any hope of absorbing. These big cyclic shock loads will wreck havoc on everything from CV joints to differential housings to axle shafts...
I truly hate to say it, but I believe you'll have better performance (that is much easier to tune) with a rigid frame, still with the engine and all extra weight (turbos, etc.) as far forwards as possible, combined with some ultra-long wheelie bars that under acceleration "cheat" the wheelbase into a much longer one, resulting on a huge percentage of weight increase on the front (driven) tires.
I expect you've got your heart set on making the hinge concept work. If so, I suggest you think about what it will take to dampen out the essentially vertical bouncing that the rigid control arms are completely unable to dampen (tires aren't very good at damping vertical motion). Adding in a pair of relatively standard control arms, springs and shocks will allow Bully to absorb the energy from the vertical bouncing (greatly reducing it). That will convert all of the mass of the engine, trans, diff, etc. from unsprung weight to sprung weight (allowing you to control it). After that you can experiment with the pivot stiffness & damping compared to stiffness & damping at the control arms and figure out if there really is any benefit to the hinge.
Good luck
Great racing, good attitude from all well done! the Bully will return...
The Bully's day is coming.
i love watching the bully run!!
Just keep digging fixing these problem they are only showing now as your getting closer to the real car and what it can be !! And when it breaks on you like that am I the only one who wants to fly out there and start fixing it up with them to see what it can do next (from London lol) keep going PFI !!
Nice behind the scenes of what happens guys great video
When you're fed up with a guy who will never stage... "fuck this shit" *slaps into gear* 😂😂😂
Smaller tyres might make it allot easier to get this thing dialed in
glad that Jason guy lost, staging battles are cheap and he did it every race lol
Yeah that was cheap as hell
WHAT .... A ..... LOSER !!!!!
Bully is a torque monster, them splines look like they went through a bench grinder. Time for some Truck axles.
Best yet. Breaking Is part of racing. Sometimes the biggest part
When you guys broke the axle I remember seeing in the dyno videos that the driver side wheel was wobbling. I doubt that has anything to do with it breaking the axle but thought I’d point it out
Sick footage guys o appreciate what you do
I'm not surprised the axle broke because that front left wheel is buckled to crap and most likely shat the bearing and everything around it.
I seen the wheel wobble on the Dyno and it's bad.
Need new wheels dude 😎👌🏻
Jjbjuu
Nice one for the extra racing coverage
