Holy moley I said "at the end of the day" a ton. Oh well, at the end of the day we hope you still love us/me. ;)
We'll see you in the next episode
Sponsor me pls
We do, brother.
"... at the end of the day, I still love you and your chin hair Alex." We need more random closeups of it xD. PS: I'm a function guy, i daily my build 350 miles a week to work.
At the end of the day, We love you! lmao
I’m glad I’m watching this on Sunday, or else i would have been pretty lit with all the shots I took, every time you said that 🤣🤣
your ability to talk without lag at such high volumes of density is impressive. You running a twin turbo with assist or a Super charger?

Build type #5: The Budget Build
This one should definitely be on the list. From the broke teenager to the successful adult who wants more but cant justify the spending 1000s on parts. We've all been there at one point.
Wheres the 'do it once do it right' people at because honestly reliability and consistency means you drive the car all the time and it performs well and maybe doesnt look half bad either. it takes a long time overall but the impact each mod is more and more noticeable and you can drive it the whole time so people at car shows see your progression too. i admit there is a bit of spending involved for some aspects, dropping $1500 on wilwoods seems like a big investment but its really not in the grand scheme of things.
That's type 4
Yep helped my buddy build a budget hot rod 69 chevy c10 slammed it he chopped the roof (30$) and i helped with body work and getting the 350 running its slow, smells, creaks squeaks and makes a ton of body noise but roasts the tires into third and looks badass even while sitting
I feel like that was the first one
This
You forgot one major car style: track cars. They’re like showcars (practically unreliable and undrivable on public roads) but can actually be driven, on the track.
The secret to tracking is having gages/ independent ECM monitoring important things like oil pressure. And supporting mods. Most of your engine modifications should be supporting mods
The secret to tracking is blowing up your engine multiple times and rebuilding. No engine was ever designed to race. Not even race engines. Engines are only designed to move.
I think that would fall under function category.
I feel like "performance cars" would be a more broad term, cuz there are many categories under that and "track cars" is one of them, there's drag cars and there's rally cars and so on.
But yes totally agree with your point I think it's a huge category to be mentioned and could probably replace the "never finished category" 😅
@@ricky-sanchez I mean true but I think what he meant by "function" in the video is talking about daily driving.
For example someone who would like to track their car would get the widest wheels because they want more traction and that's going to cause some firment challenges but these people don't really care 🤷♂️

@@MechBeardy you mean buy a different car
I dunno, I had a CEL only once in my 10 years of owning my mk4 golf 1.8t. Ended up being a maf sensor.
I am definitely a function guy. I can't afford a daily and a toy. So the daily has to be the toy. That means it has to start every time and it has to not leave me stranded on the side of the road. That means I can't go nuts. (My budget won't allow that anyway). So I stick with stuff that won't impact the car's day to day driveability. I won't ever have the fastest or the coolest car on the road, but all the car has to do is make me happy, and it does that well enough.
Exactly. Sometimes budget kind of pushes you into being a function guy. I bet most of the function guys would like a toy on the side that they can take to the track and go at it all day.
But also being a function guy can be about actually caring about your car, and maintaning for example a classic e30 look rather than slamming it to the ground with some extreme camber. The function guy in my opinion is
the more responsible and mature side of the car scene 😂
Sounds like you need a honda
@@shivster0592 Yup
What are you driving a camry
That's why I stick to a lowrider, although it probably leave me stranded cuz it it's an old car but hey it's fucking fun with hyrdos, don't worry I'm not the ricer with the 1000ft hopping, I'm a low and slow kinda guy, we're the original Stance nation anyways, I get lots of stares and thumbs up

@@brianoconner4206 well said
noah h ayee
Only moped
I could get a k11 micra for 60£ be a good project
The ricer - Tries to be show guy but doesn't have enough money and/or expertise or taste to do so. The ricer pretends not to notice when they crash and ignore any damage.
The stock builder - Spends ridiculous amounts of money to get their car exactly as it came from factory in the hopes that one day it will be worth a fortune. The stock builder will never crash and in fact rarely drives their car.
Track bro - Track is life. Their car is actually fast as fuck and is somewhat cool but you don't tell them that. Track bro cries when he crashes as it's usually at high speed and will cost them a lot of money.
Drift bro - Their car is a shitheap with just about every single panel misshapen or hanging off. You almost feel like their old '90s Nissan or Toyota has wasted potential and could've been really nice. Drift bro laughs when he crashes. He probably does it on purpose the psychopath.
Brad Cogan I’m so stock guy atm, although I’m super proud of of clean unmolested 00’ s2000
I'm a super stock guy. Wanna rebuild it oem. But it's also my daily I want to own forever
Definitely the 4th
Drift and Track lol
I tend to do a bit of stock parts simply because they were meant to work with the car, that being said, I also custom fab a LOT of stuff. Personally I’m into the VIP scene though, so I’m also stuck looking for stock parts I’ll never find
“Modification issues” - Problems with the check engine light?
*Removes check engine light bulb* SOLVED

"Filipino budget build"
Noisy exhaust or bass exhaust.
Rep wheels (cheesy ones).
Fake Carbon fiber hood.
Cut springs.
All black paint.
Slapping stickers that aren't even for the brand (TRD on anything)
Agressive body kits and wing.
Lmao I know Filipinos that have done just this ahahahah
lmao, ive seen a nissan van repping a giant nismo sticker on the side
Ive saw a workshop filled with modified civics with mugen stickers at QC congressional highway
Ive saw so many toyota vios with peeling carbon wrap with fat spacers massive side skirts and front splitters and a FAT WING
@@angeloadalla4555 modified aesthetically(rice-ish) or like the performance type of mods??
The clean builds, simple tasteful mods, some nice wheels, clean paint, just a simple yet very pleasing to the eyes kind of build you know ?
My kind of build
"Tastefull" and that word is why every build is this kind. Everyone thinks there car is tastefull. And it is. To them.
Essentially function builds.
The only problem I see is how vocal clean build people are about anything that isn't clean enough for you. Which shouldn't be problems because the majority of builds are clean and they didn't build it for you
Damn called me out with my datsun but i haven't given up yet
😂
pistikepowa87 pretty sure he owned/owns one
Datsun 510 72’ 2 door with a z24 5 speed my current project!

Race car street car build is the best
Cisco Chavez I agree!
Canyon carver
Drift an Highway pulls
That's funny cause muscle cars build are the best
Cisco Chavez yes!
I only know of one style, your car your art
Agreed.
Auto culture needs more people like you. So many people feel like they know the true way to build a car when in reality it all comes down to personal taste.

WHOS MIATA AT 5:04
Alex's "End of the Day" Counter: the limit does not exist.
One big type of build is the full restoration build. Typically done with 70's, 80's and 90's cars these are probably the most extensive and longest to do. They literally torn the car apart to rebuild it, buy new or restore everything on it.Most of them try to keep the car looking like it came stock back when new with basic outside mods like oem spoilers or bodykits and nice wheels, but other stuff like suspension, brakes, engine, interiors and audio equipment they may go wild to improve what was provided by oem. I remember those builds being very common in forums and I literally spent hours reading threads dozens pages long looking at all the process of restoring it. For me these are the builds that get the most respect because they take time, patience, lots of planification and people from all levels of car knowledge can do it since the online communities are big and help a lot.
Same with my glanza
This is exactly what I wanna do with my 200sx from the '86
I just gotta buy the car from the guy
One day
I'm not the only one who rewound it at 5:04 had to do a double take. That was art imo.
🙏🏼
I did too lmaoo
Editor: how many times do you want to say "at the end of the day"?

@@outrage3396 You mean it wasn't already said enough in the video? 😁
I don’t consider myself a “car guy” so much as I consider myself a “Manual Transmission Evangelist”. I love driving standard transmission and going fast is fun, but I don’t know a whole lot about cars and I don’t really mod my cars. I’m currently driving a Jeep Wrangler and I’m looking at a Focus ST to get more into cars.
What did you end up getting?
Those bronze wheels in the back are so nice!😍
Nice videos by the way, guys!
Cheers from Belgium
You forgot the big one the budget build
The guy rolling on second hand reps with junkyard parts bolted to it that has less total into his car but destroys everything it comes across
Facts bro
At the end of the day i learned that at the end of the day it is the end of the day....his favorite phrase is at the end of the day
I'm in the first category of the function build and I agree with all parts except for the suspension. 2 way or 3 way adjustable coils will allow you to dial in the ride exactly how you want it. The 1 way adjustable coils are for people who want somewhat better handling but don't care one bit about ride quality and don't mind bouncing around all over the place everywhere they go.
Street racers or drifters are my favorite by far, nothing is more intimidating than seeing a car on radials or slicks roll up beside you on the highway
Lmao my vw has had a check engine light for the past 2 years
Mine came on 3 months after purchasing it, my pcm went out 😒
Just pull the check engine light fuse, that's how I fixed mine 🤷
The check engine light on my 04 1.8t gti came on 2 weeks after buying it, it’s been scanned three times and thrown zero codes, and every time it turns off something major breaks (alternator, wiring harness melted, clutch went out, fuel pump failed) 😂😂😂 I cracked up when Alex said that
Jokes on u guys, I dont have a check engine indicator let alone a dashboard

That Dodge Avenger at 5:15 is in my hometown. Biggest ricer in town 😂
Robert McDougal I feel sorry for you to see that alot
@@Nick_Tank i don't mind it. If he/she likes it that's all that matters.
I’m the reason he left that meet that night... cuz fuck that guy, he got a lil pissy when we referenced that he’s a registered sex offender.
I'm actually two of these, I'm a functional guy with my daily (finally lowering it after 4 years thought!) And I've also got a project car that I was hoping to have finished last winter, but spoiler alert, it's still on stands in my garage. Maybe one day
car show guys are the best. they bring a little spice in this world. its so boring seeing stock cars all the time. when i was in asia, people would buy body kids and all cool little things to make their dailys look unique, just like you would with outfits. its nice
There's everyone else and then....the stance kids

Im happy when my car is the fastest

"Unless you're a Volkswagen guy in which case you have a check engine light for having a Volkswagen" I felt that. The VW dealership felt that. The bank that financed the car felt that and the shop I used to take my VW to felt that.
You forgot my type, the 'I am broke' type, where the parts consist of what is available on the used market and 'might' fit on my bimmer even if it was built for a civic XD fml

Man, you spit a lot of wisdom very quickly. I like where your mind is at. I'm at the same point. Don't pick a side, just understand why there are sides. Great stuff. Thanks Alex!
If "bought not built guys" didn't exist we wouldn't have gorgeous cars such as the Aventador, Ferrari 458 etc etc.
Wrong....those cars came from guys BUILDING cars in their dank sheds. Now rich guys buying them is how they STAY in business.
@@38tech rich car guys can own them with the same intentions we all have with our cars too though. If it wasnt for a market of non enthusiasts they wouldve never found the funding. I think it's the intent and behavior that can be bad about built not bought guys.
It may not be a ferrari but in the same vein I drive a near stock 2019 gt. I didnt build it and itll smoke a lot of local cars that are built but i cant/won't take pride or gloat because i didn't make it preform that way but I love the experience of driving it and racing it and going to meets and checking out guys who are doing builds. It depends on how we go about it I think.
Max o I own a Huracan, because I don’t have TIME to build a car.
sheesh shouldn't have read the comments, now all I can hear is "at the end of the day"
Same. 😂
Saaaaaaaame here🤦♂️🤦♂️

I am surprised “full race” build wasn’t on here. It is, after all, the heritage of car modifications.
Hey alex, when are we going to the movie
Alex: at the end of the day
Idc, the BRS wrap on that Mini at 7:02 looked awesome. Take that disgustingly huge wing out, put some other wheels, and I'd daily it.
The first one was me. Almost exactly me. 2013 brz. 18X8.5 +35 mm offset. 1000 dollar coilovers. Its my daily. Wow
Your wild! 😂 You should upload your ride to our gallery sometime! bit.ly/2obqAZQ
Done a 1991 toyota mr2, 2009 eclipse, and currently doing a 1994 3000gt usually the mods i get for them are Coilovers,17in wheels (i like a bit more sidewall that 18's about an inch), Header back exhaust, Intake, Roll-bar, Fixed back bucket seats with harness. And yea i drive them daily and ocassionally do autocross or w/e. Prolly going to go a bit more into the 3000gt with 90mm TB intake manifold, 272in/ex cams, port and polished heads. And when the bottom end starts to go 11:1 pistons and forged con-rods. Dont think im going for another car after the 3000gt. Gotta start investing and that sort of thing lol.
...at the end of the day... i love watchin ur videos... not only for the good info & all the beautiful cars... but because ur hysterical! ...love ur sense of humor dude! ...thanx for all the videos, always enjoy em!

Its inevitable! Just sell one to finish one!!!
@@user-ef8up4bz3k or part one out
Im worse i have over 15 builds goin on atm... Volvos on the road hahaha but in all seriousness either sell some stuff or make stuff i got lucky and have machining equipment so i make my stuff buf the time involved is stupid.
I bought a track built Miata 2004. Fully built, supercharged. Used only 1 track day. Made and maintained by a motorcycle mechanic. I have a folder of 36k of parts and not including the base price of the car or man hours. Paid 10k and I love it. It’s done. Only thing now if I want is to put a smaller pulley on. Making 245hp as of now. It’s a blast! I learned my lesson. I built a 87 5.0 up that cost 13k for engine and transmission alone. Also built up a GTI VR6. Spent way too much money to end up with “ok” cars. Never again. Buying built from now on.
Lmao my VW has the check engine going on and off at random times like wtf
AK Hobbies it’s a vdub, what’d you expect.
"At the end of the day" count?

Was about to say Childstar sighting! haha
Low key best build on the Honda scene rn

I’m definitely number 4. Working on a 73 Datsun 620 with an SR20DET
Function for sure. It's still gotta get me to work so that i can hit the country straights and curvy roads afterwards.
Are project cars ever really finished?
Also, you forgot the performance/hoonigan style builds.
Part 2 ! ?👀
I'm definitely part of the 90% function build people. The most aggressive mod I had to get rid of was the K sport RRs that absolutely killed my back. I drive an sw21 that had -4 degrees camber all around; the car spun out every time it rained. So now I have -3 degrees all around and have eibachs and Koni Yellows. Car is so smooth and comfy my mom likes to borrow it :)
This channel is great and this guy's hilarious, but definitely informative as well!
Damn bro, you absolutely nailed who i am in the first few minutes lmao. Jeez. Actually spot on, dope to know the way I like to think about modding cars is a common one!
I bought a few woth some minor mods to build on that with my own style
The VW roast got me dead🤣😂
I had gone into this thinking he was going to talk about drift, rally, sleeper, low rider and other stuff like that cuz i would honestly like a video like that
My fave builds.
1. Watered down "Bosozoku" build (fender flares,agressive wheels, new paint)
2. Conservative performance mods, factory paint.
3. Bastardized junker car turned into an agressive "bastard by design" ratrod with light engine and handling mods.
Was that a shot at even shanks !? @fitmentindustries 😂
[ G P ] P H O T O G R A P H Y yesssssssssssssss
[ G P ] P H O T O G R A P H Y shots fired
I think the biggest problem with bought not built folks is that the majority of them don't appreciate the amount of work the built not bought community put into their cars (let alone know about their own car).
It's offensive when you worked for months or years to build your dream car, and some know nothing shows up and steals the show and has absolutely no idea about their own vehicle and modifications 9 times out of 10.
They're usually money flashers, the type that buy expensive things for the sake of it, not the appreciation of them. That's why people get behind built not bought. They know the work it took to get there, they educated themselves and ground to get the work done. They have more functional knowledge and more value than someone who just pays someone else to do it for them.
Let me be clear, know your limits and strong points, you don't have to go around engineering your own shocks and chassis dynamics. But at the very least understand your own car and why the builder made those decisions... or at least own up to it when you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. "I just bought it cause it looked dope" will save you a lot of hate.

I would love to if I had one at the moment raising a family cars got put on the back burner
I'm more on the "keep it stock" styling. I want people to know how beautiful the car is from factory...
When I got my mustang, it already had a few basic mods on it, bullitt wheels, long tube headers and full exaust, cold air intake, plenum & throttle body, different pulleys, different taillights & headlights, a tune, stage 3 clutch & alluminum flywheel. So it was nice getting a car that already had some things done to it. I do all my own work and I don't claim to have "built" the car myself but, I definitely saved a lot of money by buying a car with some things already done to it.
