      That's hilarious, Gavin. Honestly, you didn't come off like you came from Indonesia as recently as you did. Your accent isn't very heavy at all.

    Everytime Gavin smiled, I found myself smirking along with him. When your car is complimented it's really hard not to bubble up with a smile.
    Genuinely enjoyed the video!

    • @potatochobit
      @potatochobit 6 лет назад +4

      super chargers have some very bad downsides, kid.
      whatever you choose, it needs to be done right with proper specs.
      too many idiots want more power and put bigger pulleys than the car engine can handle and something always breaks after a year or two with "do it yourself" super chargers.

    Could you guys mic the passengers when you drive their cars? It can be a bit hard to hear what they're saying over the exhaust drone and vibration.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  9 лет назад +5

      DarkSky unfortunately the Go Pro we use for interior has only one mic input.

    • @darek4488
      @darek4488 9 лет назад +4

      TheSmokingTire Use a splitter to record one mic on the left channel and another on the right. Then merge both tracks during the editing, so we could hear both voices coming from the screen instead of jumping left to right on wide panorama.
      Or add some subtitles.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  9 лет назад +8

      darek4488 GoPro's audio inputs don't work like that, unfortunately.

      *****
      True...he did install it himself. I do give him credit for that :)
      I just thought it was funny at the beginning of video how he answered with "I think so" to two of Matt's questions...all good though :)

    • @darkstar9008
      @darkstar9008 9 лет назад +2

      ***** to be fair, I did jump the gun by saying that. After watching the whole video he did say he installed some stuff himself, so I'll give him some credit where its due. My view on that phrase has nothing to do with who installs it, but more with how you get the car. Either by buying it stock and then messing around with it, or buying someone else's project and not having a clue what is inside of it. I thought Gavin was the latter type until I saw the whole vid.

    • @BBDSmint
      @BBDSmint 9 лет назад +9

      darkstar9008 or because he's iIndonesian, he didn't quite understand the word centrifugal.

    I love these videos - so cool to see all the different ways people have tuned their cars. One criticism I have is that it can at times be difficult to hear the passengers: I don't know if Matt has a microphone on him or something, but I think the owners/passengers should get one so they are a bit louder.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  9 лет назад +9

      Arch I wear a microphone, but the Go Pro only has one audio input.

    • @torpedo35
      @torpedo35 9 лет назад +1

      TheSmokingTire A two way splitter on the mic input might work with a similar lapel.

    • @darek4488
      @darek4488 9 лет назад

      TheSmokingTire Get a three way splitter and attach one mic to the rear bumper.

    • @TheSmokingTire

    Sweet ride! The Brz is such a rewarding car to drive. The first time I got to get behind the wheel of one i was amazed at how easy it was to drive! The fact he learned to drive a stick just goes to show what an amazing car it really is and add those mods boom! The perfect recipe for a daily canyon carver!!

    @xlex.the.menxce 9 лет назад +7

    When I had my Supra, I loved the turbo lag. I know that may sound a bit off, especially to a lot of the younger crowd but, applying some medium throttle then a few seconds later, here the turbo spool and that punch in your chest from boost coming on is just awesome. If I had a small, RWD import, I would definitely much rather go for a turbocharger setup. For some reason I just feel superchargers are more for American cars. Not knocking this guy's choice to supercharge the BRZ, just saying it's not the route I would take.

    Dude's first car is a manual BRZ and he installs a supercharger on it himself. Seems that he has good taste.

    This is cool. I've had my eye on the BRZ for quite a while but obviously the typical complaints of power and tire are my issue. This seems like a really nice fix for those problems without turning the car into a typical "tuner" where you cause all kinds of new problems.

  • @quilope

    Heheheheh! I love this kid - he's great. Huge, genuine, smile. He's not being defensive or in any way confrontational about his choices. He modded a car with grounded conservatism, and without changing it into something entirely different - or worse - ruining it, entirely. Good shit. Car looks fun as hell, too.

    Great setup. Enough power to wake the chassis up but not to much to overwhelm it. Not to sure on the coilovers. Looks like the D2s are to stiff for the car like its lost some of its compliancy, however I am sure it's a good setup for track.

    Matt would you prefer a turbo to this supercharger?
    And have you driven a rotrex based supercharger?
    How would you compare it to the Vortech?

    A good friend of mine has a Skyline R33 GT-R and another friend of mine has a Skyline R34 GT-T swapped with an RB26DETT. We plan traveling across the United-States (We're from Canada) and go down to California next summer. I wonder if he'd like to drive on of those lol
