Oh yeaaa!!!!
ChrisFix I have the same seats in my 240
ChrisFix will you put a roll cage in it
ChrisFix Hey Chris, huge fan of the channel, and I've been watching since 2013. just yesterday I bought my first car, a 1979 corvette coupe. I got it for a steal of a price at 1000$! it runs a bit choppy but no rust and it still has all of the original parts. I just wanted to say that your videos helped me out a TON with the entire buying process and I'm sure I'll use them a lot more in repairing and modifying my car in the future. Keep up the amazing videos! :)
Any idea where to get non racing stock replacement seats? Or how easy is it to get the stock seats redone? Thank you. :)
When I did this and took out my seat I didnt find $20. Did I do something wrong?
haha, just not as lucky. Try the other side!
Treyton Jakat did you check your blinker fluid first?
Put 20bucks under the seat before you start it
That means your seats were taken out before
Nice
Holy drone shot and mic wearing employees. Production quality level insane.
Stepping up my game every video for you guys!
Yea I watched a video of yours from about 2 or 3 years ago just the other day. I must say, your quality has only gone up! Even your videos 2 years ago are better than your 3 years ago, 1 year ago and 2 years ago it repeats. You've learnt so much and done so much to make your videos better, and it truly shows! Solid car nut, and a solid videographer.
BAMA GRAD That's a word.
its the simple past of "learn" : en.bab.la/conjugation/english/learn
802 Garage woah, didnt notice that! thats why we love Chris!
Is chrisfix the stigs son
Maybe his the Stig American nephew
Yeah man I never thought of that Chris fix probably is the stig's American cousin
Not nearly good enough of a driver. Don't flatter yourself.
He's Stig's american twin
@@Anonymous_________ how is he flattering himself? he complimented Chris lol
These videos are no-bull, relevant, simple and fun to watch. They also have just the right amount of editing (and no rubbish techno music with barely audible voices). Excellent work, ChrisFix.
You have a voice for radio. It is really nice to listen to.
+Josh Hixson thanks a lot Josh!
...or National Geographic documentary narrator :)
And he exudes supreme confidence, knowledge of the subject and clean rapid fire delivery ! (smiley)
lmao I was thinking the same thing as I saw this. lets make a petition haha
I have a great face for radio
Slowly but Shirley... Chris is Turning into THE STIG!!!
Some says that he has an ATM underneath his passenger side seat, and That he has a 3rd arm that he uses ONLY when washing his car. All we know is that he's Called THE STIG!!!
Tru
Some say if you're early enough he will respond to your comment, and that he carries around a bottle of soapy wooder around with him everywhere, all we know is he's call ChrisFix.
its surely
My name's not Shirley and I am serious
Spend the money on a good seat, your body will thank you for it. Upgrade your harness at the same time to get maximum safety. Keep up the good work Chris
4:45 THANK YOU! I've been reading up on different sport seats and everyone keeps talking about different angles, spine compression, and I'm just like _"What even are you saying??"_ This helped so much
A new Chrisfix video, can I get a hell yeah?!!
Hellllll yeaaaaahhhhh
I just realized this guy always sounds like a voiceover
Glad you enjoy the videos!
He's been doing video's so long he's a living voice over.
PBS Chris
i thought it was a voice over
watch his old videos, improvement over time was 200%
When he talked to the clerks my mind was blown cause now I feel like he just talks like this even in person when not explaining things
I’m never gonna do this to my car, but I still watch them for fun.
i like chrisfix because he looks friendly with everybody ! Respect
Thanks a lot!
Razvan Radu same here he's super genuine and I love that about him! he's a channel I really look up to chrisfix. He's the same off camera as he is on camera! I'm 19 and I wish more you tubers were like him.
Gurpreet Singh the momo mod 78 looks like a match
Razvan Radu i agree with you
That made me think of Initial D. 😂😂
Haha when you started wiggling in the seats I was dying 😂💀 4:15
haha, I was laughing myself. It is so funny sped up!
SnekFix
ChrisFix bshddhdj
Attzero Chris fix should put like a little skit of when he wiggles in the chairs with the song wiggle wiggle
me too haha
Not that I will buy a racing seats, but this video is really well done as always.
Thanks a lot!
I'm watching this now. And that seat will expire next year, 2021 😂
Don't worry, I'll get them replaced soon!
@@chrisfix And Can you do another video for that? I will wait for it. haha. Thanks ChrisFix. Mabuhay!
@@chrisfix And its expired now, wheres the seat upgrade?
ChrisFix is probably the most loved and respected car guy in the RUclips community, keep it up man!!
Thank you!!
The respect for Chris is because of his extensive knowledge at such a young age. You would expect this kind of knowledge, to come from a guy into cars for the last thirty to forty years. This is why I, (a sixty year old man), has so much respect for Mr. Chris Fix! Keep it up Chris, your love of cars, as well as the love and appreciation you have for your parents, is why I have nothing but complete respect for you young man! Wishing you nothing but the best for 2020!!!!
I don't even have a car, really don't know why i'm watching this.. Good video as always
I am glad you enjoy the videos!!!
same. im not even close to driving but i just like to learn things just in case
Same!
Never hurts researching before
xNewme _ same
I don't own a car, and I don't know how to drive, but I love listening to you talking about the tools you use, the materials that you're working with, aspects to consider for performance, comfort and safety. These reasons I listed are what made me subscribe to your channel way back in 2016. Thanks for being a nice guy and sharing your knowledge and encouragement in doing a job yourself for your car.
6 years later here I am watching this video and appreciate it so much! Thanx for the info and video quality!
ChrisFix has the best car vids on RUclips
every vid is helpful
Thanks a lot!
I really like the way it looks
Im a simple man, i see a chris fix video and i like
this is a joke right?
Thanks for the support!
Suboptimus Lime I only asked because it's an exact copy of a comment that was pinned 2 videos ago
glad like does nothing
Dude your channel is perfect for anything I need , I just found you yesterday and I've been binge watching your stuff . I started by finding a good video for how good does a fuel cleaner work and man , I got hooked to your channel from it. Edit- I also LOVE how clear you speak and get your point across . You don't rush the video and you don't hype it up . You sound genuine and like you're truly passionate and that made me absolutely love your channel
I have to say the editing for your channel is above and beyond. Using drone footage of you driving to the store. Crazy.
Legend has it ChrisFix will reply!
That's just a legend!
Yesssss new upload! Notification squad!
#ChrisFixDriftTeam
ChrisFix how can I join that team?
1:27 the man, the myth, the legend
Another great video, love to hear how this man speaks, easy to understand. Explain everything so well. Good job
1:04 a.m. and I'm watching chrisfix....what is my life....
Callsign Fantom 12:01 am
Your life is AWESOME!
ChrisFix All because of your videos
Callsign Fantom 12:13
ChrisFix hell yeah!! love the vids man keep up the great work!
How to pick and install roll cages
YES! Coming soonish.
ChrisFix yes
ChrisFix sure...
Don't you have to make a custom roll cage? I don't think you can just buy one and screw it in.
Actually you buy a kit for a rollcage, and you install it
You always have a video for any question I ask the internet. Nice one Chris
4:00 that seat is dead cuz its 2022
i taught the excact same thing:)
Make a fishing vlog channel called Chrisfish
Can I get likes
I wish I had the time!
ChrisFix make a cooking vlog channel called Chrisdish
Chrisfix made a fairy tale blog called Chriswish
or a construction channel called ChrisBricks
What makes your videos special is I can't even drive and still enjoy these so much! Keep up your great work!
Thanks a lot! That is awesome!
That is awesome! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Great Video. Most RUclips videos produced by younger people seem to center around them trying to be a star. Your video was professional, educational, well organized , concise and not self centered. Very well done.
Chris, thanks for your great videos. you have helped me out so much.. Many thanks Gerry
Notifaction Squad!!!
#ChrisFixDriftTeam
Am I the only one who watches for entertainment?
Thanks for the support!
Saba Amjad same
Saba Amjad nope I do too, but one of Chris's videos helped my dad fix a scuff on the back left wheel of my dads 99' BMW M roadster
Saba Amjad nope. Going to super clean my car soon
Haha, I don't have any intention of doing 95% of the things of his videos... but, I watched his super clean video and loved the style and information in the videos so much that I just watch them for enjoyment.
Thanks for your videos ChrisFix. I'm not really into Mustangs, but your car looks great!
Instead of finding 20 dollars i found 54 dollars and 30 cents. Didn't even take the seat out
be more careful lol
I subscribed 5 min after your how to pick a drift car , came out , And I'm glad I did that cause you pretty much put in detail what I am going to do on my first car .
Awesome! Glad the videos are helpful!
ChrisFix my life is complete
right before I was going to bed
It's a ChrisFix bedtime story!
Chris, you are doing a good job with videos, very informational. Thank you for your time and videos.
I love you narrating voice, man! Your videos are awesome and super educational.
I don't even have a car, but I just loved watching your videos I think they r helpful when I will have one which is 9 months from now
Thanks for the support! You should be well-prepared once you get your own car!
Johny Boy only 2 months left
Johny Boy only one month left!
So hows the car?
Johny Boy Hows your car?
What if you buy racing seats, but have no car? Can you fix this Chris? 🤔
If you sit in the seats, close your eyes, and make race-car noises it is basically the same thing.
Bolt them to a bench and you have a couch. Or gut an office chair and put the wheels from it on the chair. Boom. racing seat office chair.
Imagination
DestroyedHockeyMaster You could make a kickass racing sim setup.
ChrisFix lmfao
This was a very helpful video thank you. I've actually been had these questions dying to be asked for years I'm glad that somebody asked of them in one simple video going to slap some of these racing seats in the my project car
A cool upgrade I think for your Mustang would be a MOMO or similar racing wheel and quick release setup. Would completely change the feel of the wheel, look much cooler, and be better for grip with the amount of turning you do while drifting.
remember that he is driving it also in the street
The time and effort put into these videos is so apparent. These are, by far, the best car related videos on RUclips. Thanks!
Take out the back seats. Its free!
Yes! They are coming out! I read they weight a decent amount!!
ChrisFix o
coool
Would be hard to get into with two bolted down front seats also
ChrisFix maybe so a custom back seat delete kit, American muscle sells them for $150+ and thats outrageous
Just another reason why I follow you. You take daunting tanks and make them real life happenings
Awesome pointers! Thank you for the great video sir 🤟
Chris keep up the good work. Love the vids!!! Im ready for the hydraulic e-brake video.
I watch these videos and love them and I don't even have a car I'm too young. But my dad did give me his Ford Capri Piranha with a sr20 motor in it.
Awesome! Thanks for the support!
ChrisFix I did not hear my notification it made me sad
nate johnston how the heck did u get a car at age 11
Faraway We Meet I'm 15, I have to be 16 to get my learners
Ozzie Daboss I'm 15, I have my permit and my dad got me a 1999 Mustang for my 15th birthday.
Surprisingly (i've never been to this channel before) useful and not boring (that's how it would turn out if i'd do it) video, good job!
I love the style of his videos!! I just like watching them for the fun of it hahah
Another great, well produced, and well explained video. :-)
Love it love it love it! Do I need racing seats? Absolutely not, but I still really enjoy the quality and depth of these videos so I'll watch it anyway :P
Thanks a lot for all the support!
His voice is so confusing. It’s like he’s doing a voiceover 🤣
Really well done video, no fluff, to the point and informative. My career is in a specialized and technical field, and I can bear to watch this and feel properly informed. Great facts and safety intel. I have a modded Smart 451 and have been considering throwing in a drivers seat and have wondered about the finer points. Well done without over promoting and detailed while quick. This is the only comment I have made on RUclips in years, literally at least over 5 years. Comments are subject to opinion, which unlike facts carry no weight, many which are not very contributive to learning something. Like what you are doing, thanks for the efforts.
Hi Chris, I hope you read this comment. Because of your videos I realized that what I like the most are cars. I really want to learn more, but I don't know how, or where to go. So I was wondering if you could tell me how did you manage to learn mechanics. Thanks for all the content, you're awesome, keep going with the mustang 😍
You can learn from many different places. I learned from my father, friends, mechanics, school, and probably the most from tinkering!
Do you own a car? if so, just grab some basic hand tools and get into it. With youtube these day's it's extremely easy because you can almost always find a application specific video to the job your doing.
And don't listen to the tool snobs, cheap tools do the job just fine. You can decide for yourself once you get into it if it's worth spending the extra on tools that feel nicer to use. The only hand tools I spent extra on was some nice ratchet's that were on sale last summer (20-50 bucks per ratchet), all my sockets are still mastercraft (sort of the Canadian equivalent to harbour freight.
Oh, and if you like your hands\head, make sure any vehicle you get under isn't going to fall over. If it's jacked up and you can push the car over with your hand, it's not secure. It's also a good idea to use jackstands, though i'll admit I don't use them as often as I probably should.
ChrisFix Chris fix I like yore videos and when will you make the video of cleaning the engine ?!? And thanks I like yore videos (;
Joaquin Llamazares best way honestly is just to tear shit apart and put it back together.you probaly heard that before but i never learned anything when people try to teach my.best learning i had was after i bout a old beater truck and flipped it,i hadda do everything on that truck.only thing you can fo is fix it,so your kinda forced to learn.learned wire harnesses,replaced engine tranny whole exaust took dashboard,headliner whole interior out and redid it.never did anything on cars before that few years ago.even lowered suspention.just google anything your having trouble with and use your head,after you get over that mindset of "i cant do it" or "its too hard" youll be amazed what you can do.
thechum But with today's cars, you also need to learn how to do computer science at the same time!
soon you should do a full restoration of a car like 67 impala or something it would be cool
totally
ChrisFix = Good guy
0:11 that's a pretty cool antenna you got here, I love it :D !
I love ChrisFix videos because of the quality and effort that is put into them. Thumbs!
+J'Burch thanks a lot!!!
I love your videos. Pure practical information with zero bullshit.
Is no one gonna talk about how good his microphone is
I can't wait to see the DriftSrang in its full drift form. Its probably gonna be a badass car by then, not that it isnt now.
+The Mob thanks a lot and same here!!!
ChrisFix YOU REPLIED. MOM, GET THE FUCKING CAMERA.
i laughed so loud xD MOM GET DA CAMERA !!!
Great tips chris! Thanks man!!

XxDomminxX Hamster?
Face Wit fish?
PENIS!?
Soapy wooter
Next video!
ChrisFix ooooooh, I always love when you use soapy wooter. I love cleaning stuff
Great video and just the information I was looking for.
Great video! I learned a lot. I needed a seat for mine and my dad's mega truck. We're about the same size and it's center seated so it's a lot easier
Thank you for the 60 FPS sir, that sure is refreshing.
No problem! Just upgraded my camera gear!
Your camera gear is to die for ! Sound is awesome too !
Pun intended?😂
the production, the planning, the sex, it's all 10/10. great video.
Thanks a lot!
FrogLungs 😂😂
FrogLungs hm
moien haider r/woooosh
I'm 8 seriously
Dude, this is soo professional & helpful!
This videos rock bro keep it up man. 👍👊
I race my 3 motorcycles and I’m not really a car guy and I still watch Him because it’s very entertaining
Thanks!
Hey Chris, the drone is awesome! Hope you use it in future videos. Great video too
Thank you! I definitely will be using the drone in future videos!
I’m late as hell but this is a huge help because I bought seats sight unseen and put them in my auto cross car. VERY hard and tight seats and I’m a small build dude. They’re FIA approved fix-back and help keeping me planted in sharp turns but had a lot of issues on fitment with the sliders. The driver one broke but in my seating position so it’s cool with me but not for everyone else haha.
quality is amazing man as always
Speaking of car interiors. You should do a super clean video on interior. Also the engine compartment.
Yes! I will be doing both! Engine compartment first!
Finally a video!!
Wooooo!!!
nate johnston same here dude
Very nicely done video! Please continue and be safe 🙏
The video transitions are smooth as butter. Great vid 👌
Do a steering wheel one and keep it up man very informative
Thanks!
i like your video keep up the good work
Thanks Adolfo!
Chris, I love these videos. I just had a request for you! Can you please make a video of an entire detailing for the inside of vehicles and what you suggest that's "healthy" for the car and will make it last forever? This type of video would be excellent I think. Thank you very much.
High quality video. Thanks @ChrisFix
Make a fishing vlog channel called Chrisfish who's with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I had the time!
Shit he actually looked at my comment IM YOUR BIGEST FFFFFAAAAAANNNNNN
ChrisFix holy SSSSSHHHHHOIIIITTTTY You actually looked at my comment IM YOUR BIGGEST FFFFFAAANNNNM check out my other comments please
I love you Chrisfix
ChrisFix That video you did with Sabkyle I totally noticed your face in the middle of the video
Hey guys! Chris Fix here 😎
I am here!
Excelent video thanks man, Im building a Baja SAE car, very useful to get to know racing seats
Great Video, keep them coming!
Chris I can't wait to see This drift car fully done its gonna be sick! 👍
I cannot wait either!!!
ChrisFix were the seats expensive😂😀☺
Ayy!
+Caleb Dinis It looks like the seats Chris got from Stable Energies are the OMP WRC Fibreglass Race Seat, which they price at $799 USD.
www.stableenergies.com/OMP-WRC-Fiberglass-Race-Seat/productinfo/OMP%2DWRC%2DR/
Goldmarble dang thx man
Chris is awesome
Thanks!
When Chris is talking it sounds like he narrates his videos because of his voice but he’s talking in real time it’s so cool
Great job! Lots of info for my next purchase.
Do these seats have the option to bend over, to give the rear passengers space to get in/out?
ExCaliburger I don't think so. I had a 1992 Ford thunder bird that I bought some racing seats for, and they had that tilt option on them just can't remember what brand they were.
No, and it's better to remove the back seats for weight reduction. :)
ExCaliburger yes a bunch of companies make reclining seat and as he mentioned you can also get sliders
Sliders and reclining back are gay, you want hardcore
Yes, there are reclining bucket seats as well as fixed back bucket seats (which are shown in the video).
