You've successfully put me off the idea of banding my own wheels! 😅
Ha ha it was a nightmare Joe! Ha ha but if we'd have done it in the lower bit of the rim we wouldn't have had to grind all the weld down so wouldn't have been half as bad
Great video lads. Love the tissue in the ear and the welders squint 😂Safety first 😂 I’m not that far from you, 12 miles😀
Thanks mate, it works too ha ha 😂 we've got a few locals watching 😉
“As safety conscious as we are, I’ve banged a bit of tissue in my left ear” made me laugh that one Liam 😂
Ha ha it definitely works 🤣
Every max power lad was out with a grinder cutting the springs you're keep the art alive 😂😂😂
Ha ha its a dying trade 🤣 😂 budget lowering we call it ha ha
@@TransformotionVR Alll the TDI Agriculture lads across the water in Ireland all seem to keep that alive too lol
The level of trust to hold the rim for tac after nearly taking his finger to narnia was level 100 😂😂
Ha ha 🤣 you should have seen his thumb after I was swinging a mallot and the head came off 😬 it was purple ha ha
Another great vid! Interesting seeing a pimped out taxi Transformotion. 😂 Watching from Japan! 🗾
Ooo our first viewer from Japan, I know you've watched before but didn't know where you're were watching from 😉
The wheels are banging they look very nice thanks guys enjoyed the video as always from St Helens
Nice one man! 😉
From East London. Watched you boys from day 1 on RUclips. Enjoyed every video you’ve done. Keep up the great work lads. All the best from London.🍻
Nice one david, we appreciate you being there from the start and watching all our content 😉
There ain’t nothing like the wheel thing…!
Epic.
Haha nice one mate 👍
Nice to see you lads supporting that lad 💪 proper pimping that taxi 😂 sunny Manchester 💪 got 192 🙈 on a audi I've just rebuilt 😅
Yeah he's only just getting going so it's nice to give them a little shout out, he'll be bigger than us soon ha ha 😂 that score is nearly as bad as ours ha ha thanks for supporting the channel 😀
@@TransformotionVR I gave 600 for the audi that must be for the extra numbers in the score 😉🤣🤣
Ha ha 😂
Looks pretty cool , it needs and old school chop top to match being slammed I'd say
Yeah we've said we'd love to do that but the only thing stopping us is the small unit....money..... and the skill ha ha 😂

Thanks matthew, they were a propper graft yano! And wait till you see it with all the graphics on the taxi, that video should be out early next week
@@TransformotionVR your welcome Liam and Andy 👍yep all that welding etc proper grafting mind you they look factory tho,can’t wait to see the graphics and I don’t think the exhaust will last long 😆given the slammage 😂still it don’t matter don’t need an exhaust anyhow look forward to seeing the next video 👍
I'm watching from Pembrokeshire, Southwest Wales.
Nice, thanks for watching mate
Just come across you lads. Didn’t realise you were in Skem until you mentioned Paul at Westgate! Been taking my cars there for years!
Ha ha no way! He's a top man isn't he! I've know him for years myself, ive not got a bad word to say about him 😉
Great content as per usual keep up the good work lads , Kev @ BSG in Hull,
Nice one Kev! Will do mate 👍
Brilliant video as usual guys, watching loud in clear in Loch Lomond, Scotland 🏴 and my wife loves the scouse accents as she is from the wirral. Keep up the good work and looking forward to many more videos guys, cheers Gordie
Tell the missus we said nice one ha ha 😂 only joking thank you both for watching, we really appreciate the support 😀
Watching from down south as you can go - Isle of Wight 👌
Hi mate, thank you for watching 😉
Great conversion. A Team success on the wheels. Testament to the skills of Andy "Faceman" and Mr Liam that you made them look as if they came new out of the factory. Love the graphics. Would love a lift in this to where I Iive in the South East. New trousers for you Liam, maybe paid for by giving lifts.
Ha ha thanks mate! It was a graft to do! Wait till you see the graphics we put on the taxi for wheels up north! It looks sick
@@TransformotionVR looking forward to that

Nice one Ronnie, we're going to try and get the wheels up north footage out as soon as we get back so Monday or Tuesday next week
Another great video lads 👍

From Rich.
Nice one Rich, we appreciate that 👍
Watching from stockport , ive owned a few and worked on more fx4 in me time , never did as exciting as pimping one but im enjoying watching you do your thing on yours , ps and that 90psi in those tyres would scare the s**t outa me lol
Ha ha 90psi will scare anyone ha ha wait till you see it in the next video, it looks brilliant! Thank you for watching 😉
The e46 compact was built by first start garage in Essex they have a team 1st start drift developments and have some cool cars and are good people. Was owned by a lad called aaron.
Are you talking about little Harry's v12 turbo? He's just put it up for sale to build a competition car for himself
@@TransformotionVR yes mate that’s the one. Great video BTW!! Have always fancied seeing this shape cab with a roof chop. Could make some great content with it. Engine swap and drift car, lowrider conversion, show car/camper, get another and chop it in half and make a matching trailer, track day the limits are endless haha
Proper use of the old blinks there 👌
Ha ha you know that! 🤣🤣
Coventry built txi 😊, what about a C300 engine and gear box with turbo conversion
Is that where they're built? I think if it's going to have an engine conversion I'd rather have an old American petrol v8
@@TransformotionVRlti Coventry. No owed by Geely. LEVC now
Didn't know that
Hello from Icklesham in deepest East Sussex!
Great video as always, I love watching these, as a complete mechanical numpty it’s great to see people get it right, I don’t which is why my old boss on the coaches always used to ask, “you didn’t touch it Cookie did you?” If I broke down anywhere🤣🤣🤣😎
Oh and my 2012 BMW 640d convertible scored 733, result!
Nice score david! Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos, and thanks for watching 😉
Skem Diggy…. Watch the potholes by the faces roundabout you’ll kiss that exhaust goodbye! 😂😂😂
Diggy or little diggy? Ha ha my mum was brought up on alderly I think, the faces roundabout has been resurfaced now, it's the one before it that's bad now
Cracking podcast as usual Lads well done from Bristol
Thank you Bryan 😊

Nice one Neil! We appreciate that 👍
You boys are jokers!😂 it looks ridiculous,cool but ridiculous 👊🏻👍🏻
Ha ha you know you'd be made up if it pulled up when you called for a cab ha ha 😂
I'm just give or take 1,200 miles far away from you, but I saw a chap in the comments who's apparently from New Zealand. Can't beat that 😂
Ha ha I dont think anyone's gonna beat that, I dont think there's anywhere further away 😅 so what country are you from?
90 psi!!! 😂gonna be a ton of fun getting them off. Hi from nz
Look good tho
Nice one mate! Nothing a grinder won't get off ha ha 🤣

Another BOSS vid lads, the cab looks a BELTER... live in Liverpool, but work in London Town as a Tower Crane Operator 🏗🏗🏗
Nice one man! Another local lad 😉 sick job that mate!
They are fenders! 😜 BUT, I call stick on bits graphics; decals go on plastic models and remote controlled cars/boats/etc. Cheers from Kentucky, USA! (edit) Those rims are sick. (2nd edit) That is SICK; Love it! I'd daily drive that.
Ha ha a fender is a guitar 🎸 😄 🤣 but id say you was right on the stickers bit ha ha 😂 thanks mate, when we sort the exhaust out and doesn't scrape everywhere it'll be a much better drive 👍
Nice one lad
Nice one mate
Dennis is the king of slamming things 😎
He sure is!! The propper way! He said he'll give us a hand if we need it when the air ride arrives 😁 he's a good man!
@@TransformotionVR can’t go wrong there then having him at hand 💪
He's a wizard with a welder isn't he!?
With the reg having LS on it a think it's only right to LS swap it an turbo it and go drifting in it
Ha ha id love to LS swap it, maybe when we got the funds 😉
Yet another brilliant episode!! A lot of my usual channels have been letting me down recently but you are staying very consistent with what you produce. Still early days for you guys though so we will see if you start staging shit for clicks haha. Keep up the good work lads!!
There will be no acting round here pal ha ha 😉 thanks mate we appreciate that 👍
I'm watching in New Zealand

Boss vid - watching from Southport
Nice one mate, I dont suppose you've heard of anyone breaking these taxi/hackney cabs in Southport? Someone commented on the first video saying Someone does but I can find the comment ha ha
Great vid lads, what show are you going to?
The show was called wheels up north in kendal, we've just got back from there, it was a really good show
Perth Western Australia
Nice, thanks for your comment 👍
Still needs to be a hatch back. Make a tail gate. Then it can be the pimped up shop van hahaha
The side doors are big enough and it's as big as a van in the back ha ha
This is kool i hope someone donaits a Bentley grill to you .
Ha ha nice one, that'd be nice wouldnt it ha ha 😄

Hi, thank you for watching mate
Very cool gentleman, that looks amazing!
Nice one Andy! 😉
Another vehicle that's looking good after the Transfromotion treatment lads, well done. 👍
Nice one mate, where are you from?
@@TransformotionVR Originally Lanarkshire but, been in Liverpool since 1987.
Kia Ora from the South Island of NewZealand.
Surely I’m the furthest?? 😉
Wow, it's mad to think our videos are getting that far away! Yeah I'm gonna say you're the furthest away....up to now. But you can't get much further ha ha 🤣 thanks for watching
Great Video, I work in Kendal, it will be great to see you in Wheels up North Soon
Nice one man! We'll see you there 👍
Hi lads I am from Stoke on trent 👍
Hi Steve, thanks for watching 👀
Once again great video lads, BTW I'm from Newcastle
Thanks for commenting and getting in there first 🏆 glad you enjoyed it. Catch you on the next one
VehicleScore? What happened to Car Vertical? 😂
Great to see the LTI having some overdue attention!
I'm in the Wyre Forest, Worcs - my VehicleScore is 912 (top marks) - but it's only 6 years old and is really pampered 😁 (fed on a diet of Fiesta ST's) 🤣🤣
Great video lads, nice to see a bit of bazzin'! I won't be at the show but looking forward to seeing a video of it 😁
Keep up the great work 🖖
Car vertical was only for our first few videos, ooo sounds posh there ha ha thanks mate 👍
@@TransformotionVR posh it ain't fella 🤣🤣
Band of Brothers 👍
😉 nice one 👍
From new Zealand
Nice! Thanks for commenting 😁
Mind the speed bumps, enjoy watching from North Devon.
Ha ha I was cringing every time I saw a pot hole ha ha 😂
@@TransformotionVR 🤣🤣
Really neat job in the wheels,slightly concerned about the amount of time you’ve spent on Grinder 😂
Ha ha nice one mate, there was at least 8 hours of grinding 🤣 we've learnt from this tho, so if we ever did do them again they'd be much easier
@@TransformotionVR great job,I never thought it was possible to make a taxi cab into a street rider but it looks really 👌
Wait till you see the video for this weekends car show, it looks sickkk 😉
I'm in St Helens.
Hi mate 👍 thanks for watching
I wonder if u could swap the engine out for a vxr or gsi engine 🤔
I dont think it'd last long as the taxi weighs 2.5t 😬
@@TransformotionVR wow really? Never knew it weighed that much tbh
I was excited when I heard you guys were forming a band but I won't lie, when I saw this band(ing) I was quite disappointed. However , if you were to form a proper band you could name it "The Bazz City Rollers". Having said that, the hackney is totally cool.👍
Ha ha I dont there's much hope foe us having a band tho 🤣
Watching from Cockfosters on the outskirts of London. All the best lads. André 👍👍👍
From where?? Ha ha 😂 nice to hear from you and thanks

G'day mate 👌
I didn’t even know you could do that with wheels, makes them look like the old merc deep dish wheels, well similar ha Newcastle upon Tyne here
They're cool aren't they! Well your name gives that away ha ha 😂
@@TransformotionVR they look mint and it looks as cool as it could be now it’s slammed but imagine a v8 in it 😂
Ha ha thatd be awesome mate, id love an old yanky v8 in it

Any time

Rhondda Valley!!
Wheres that? Wales?
@@TransformotionVR Yeh South Wales 👍
You Idiots 😆 Massive kudos for the graft with banding those wheels - looked like a monster of a job. The results are definitely worth it though, the nicest wheels on any taxi I've seen. I know it's no longer able to be a London taxi, but it would be an absolute hell of an Uber cab for someone.. PS what's your address? - I'm going to send Liam a pair of ear defenders. Loving the channel, from Cambridge UK.
Ha ha thanks man! They look brilliant don't they?! Wait till you see it all snickered up at the show! We do have ear defenders....he just didn't use them 🤣
Careful with the bazzin' and inflating tyres having no crown jewels and no hearing = no more slammin'
Ha ha 😂 that's no good is it!
How low can the roof go lads ? West Wales.
Do you mean if we chop it? I'm not sure, hotrod low ha ha
How did you two ever make it to adulthood?? Nick, Southport
Ha ha that wins comment of the video coz we don't know either 😅
What’s the craic with Harry neck n face. Is it birth mark or tattoo. ?
I was really confused looking at him!
ye its a birth mark mate
