Love this build so much, wish we had less tools so we could fit a car in our SEMA booth this week. Let us know if there's any other tools you need :)
This man needs an actual car lift and a tig welder.
michele vitarelli ^^^^^^ fr hook this man up
If you're going to sponsor someone, this man has to be at the top of the list!
Thanks for all the support! Sema would be a little tight this year but I will try to make a winter escape a bit later, to test out the car. Maybe Sema would be a better idea for next year with all the finished bodywork
@@xfmotorsports This car would draw everyone to it at SEMA. It'd definitely be the star of the show.
I really, REALLY appreciate when proper engineering is done to builds instead of the "good old experience" that may or may not be optimized but "someone told me it's how it works". Really, engineering is pretty under-appreciated on many of those builds I see around. Love to see someone actually knowing how tension works on materials under different loads.
Don't take me wrong on experience tho: it does make a ton of difference, and some people have been working PROPERLY for many years and all, but that's not the case always, and knowing the theory and applying it properly does show up on numbers.
I have exactly the same feeling man, lots of 'smiths' making cars with almost non existential research and development on project
@@NieJestemzPolskiPL is there a blog wich sk has posted his research??? i'd like to read up on it
Yeah, it is possible to build a car with just "experience" but no matter how good you are it is going to take a lot of trial and error. Everything in this build just works from the get-go. Its great.
What Builds are you talking about? Some examples please... this guy is great no doubt, but these comments shitting on other people's builds are not so great. Kudos to this man for creating this content. Shame on you guys in the comments for taking a huge dump on other people's builds.
@@michaelpereira2888 How is this taking a dump on other peoples builds? We are just saying that it is refreshing to see a different way of doing things. Not to take anything away from other people, but often people try stuff and then realize that it is not going to work because they didnt do the research.
And after all there is a reason why production cars and race cars etc. are all designed by engineers.
Video starts with a bit of opposite lock in an unfinished car caught in a ferocious downpour. Respect to that!
On slicks no less!
Im telling you it sucks when you follow a sick build and theyre always gonna test drive it in the next video are you kidding me
On fucking slicks. He's certified lmao
This build tickles all my funny parts ❤️
Engineering, mechanics, electronics and math all compiled into one 😍
This channel deserves more subs!!
B Is for Build has been trying to make Carbon Fiber panels happen for episodes over episodes and did not succeed. And here this guy alone without any help, in his garage us making carbon fiber panels like a pro..
being a genius helps!
to be fair to B Is for Build, this guy is making flat panels that don't need to look good. B is for Build is making replicas of complicated body panels with hard, curved edges. no disrespect to this guy either though, carbon fiber is a difficult material no matter who you are!
*drives car in rain*
“They call me a mad man”
B is for Broke 🏎🏎🏎
Slicks on Wet track
Very Bold.
Also keep on keeping on, loving the build.
"Hello, Officer. I'd like to report something _totally awesome_ driving up and down my street." 😉
Up the "driving" to also "drifting"
This is possibly the most done with the least, car build that I have ever followed. This is going to be a scary fast car. All science and thought. Except for the silly shifter there is not a wasted bit of effort or money in this. 5 years after this build is complete he will still be accumulating subs. The technical discussions on the suspension alone are priceless.
How does he not have 1million subscribers .This man is a amazing.Keep up great work
This car is going to humilate megabuck track cars. Can't wait to see it unleashed in full beast mode!
Club Sport how so? Do you mean actual race cars?
Michael Pereira What do you mean „actual race car“? This is actual race car. It’s not made for showroom.
Sa yan Is it? What series will it race in?
@@michaelpereira2888 ummm time attack? Club sprint events, hill climbs, autocross... Spud.
Michael Pereira I guess in Time Attack events in Open Class or Prototype series.
I wish youtube told me about this long ago, this is amazing! You don't see many builds like this . Usually it's just an LS swapped cookie cutter chassis with a garret turbo blah blah blah BORING. Very refreshing to see this monster. Great work!
Instead of wrapping the car in silver how about glueing autumn leaves all over it. The ones stuck on it after the rainy run looked pretty good.
Wow people are actually disliking your video because your building your own race car and they aren't! Sad people in the world just hating for no reason. Keep up the good work bro.
So refreshing to see a proper build, by a very knowledgeable engineer 👊
Damn my heart sank when you showed the damage to the front splitter. Love the build!
Love the bulid. I would add an aluminium strip on the front of the splitter, for two reasons. You can make it sharper for better aero(I suppose, you will know better) and it weould be a little sturdier. Not "drive straight into a 40x40mm box section" sturdy, but sturdier if you encounter any debris on the track.
It might also be a good idea to make some sort of protection for the leading edge of the undertray behind the front wheels
I've known BXR long before, but it's super cool that more and more people are building their own cars. It's really inspiring. Respect to both of you. Keep doing the good work 💪😎
Wow... as a benz fan. this is incredible. This is the first video I've seen about this. Normally I'm about restoring them but then something like this comes along!!!
Part 21 .I would be on part 2100 .This guy kicks ass on getting stuff done .props to you .if i had your determination and drive i would have conquered the world by now .will maybe a small third world country .dont wanna set my goals to high .Good job great build .Love it .
never clicked so fast on a notification
This is an amazing build. I suggest checking out this cloth called peel-ply. You put it over the resin while the resin is wet and it keeps the resin film even over the carbon. When the resin goes off you can just peel it off. You can even apply more resin to the peel ply (it will soak through) to build up the thickness. It leaves a slightly rough texture (the texture of the cloth) but it is really easy to sand smooth. The texture is much lighter than the carbon weave also. For sailing skiffs we usually fair the surface with a light weight body filler and then paint with epoxy primer and 2 pack poly top coat. Alternatively you can just sand off the resin to a smooth finish and spray on clear-coat (like a car).
Best build on RUclips no cap! Keep it up
The car handling looks like very capable and easy to drive.. especjally looking at the way it break traction and easycounter-steer... Boy cant wait this project to finish properly for a proper track time
beta other car youtubers: makes 20*videos 30 mins each on series all about overhauling a rusty clutch, turbocharger tubing and wheel paint. calls it a car rebuild and earns millions of clickbait money.
chad sk8215: detailed video series with legit titles on rebuilding a high end german engine then while you're in there building a whole new car for the engine.
I wish I had commented last time on the carbon fiber process. Anyway, once the foam board and the carbon cloth has been cut and fitted, you may want to put the resin on the foam board first to better facilitate the cloth to take the resin, as well as helping the cloth stay in place. What this will do is a help the cloth stay in place better and the cloth will absorb the resin. you will have to add some resin from the top in some places, but not much. You will also have less bubbles in the resin this way. press it and squeegee afterwards.
Absolutely fantastic build! I'm really glad and thankful for the video series, really great to see how it's built.
And the sound!
Just a thought, if you cut small holes (12"+ grid), in the foam core, the resin could fill in and work act as a support between the two layers of carbon fiber.
1st post after watching every ep - Loving the attention to detail on this build. I would always try and simplify and lighten (lotus 7-esk), but am well aware there are limitations that modern electrical technology overcomes that make cars faster and smarter (slightly ironic as I'm an electrical technician). Really looking forward to seeing more of this as the practical testing and shakedown progresses, particularly the aero package, as I think you're going out on a limb most others would not, brave man! Awesome build and very much enjoying this. Please keep us geeks updated! ;)
It really is a simple process. With this, it'd be, albeit an expensive, but super simple and fast method of building and replacing body panels, ducting and splitters.
Loving the entire build... except for the intake manifold. I'm sure with a proper tig welder over that spool gun would make it turn out great. I'd love to see to remake one over winter when you're not driving that car
You could try an vacuum pump or an vacuum cleaner and plastic bags to create an cheap vacuum bag for better results. But you do well atm and for your parts its good enough llike you did the job. Honestly i'm more impressed by anything around the carbon fiber. Its insane that you built this custom car all on by your self. Greetings from Germany
Love home brew super cars. This guy understands enough engineering to make something worth looking out for
best car on the internet
Hey man, you built it, and they're race parts, so not stupid. They can be repaired and is not too much trouble so... hell might as well make a few extras.
That carbon came out better than some "professionals" can do.
I never knew i needed to be subscribed to a channel so much in my life
Oh man, this car is looking so awesome! Nice to see some sponsorship looking to help you out with tools in the comments section below. I'll have to pick up some of your new merchandise for Christmas.
Love seeing all the real DIY techniques and sound engineering! Great build man!
The best entry video ever.
Love watching your channel.great content!keep up the lekker work and thank you for sharing it with us all
Getting close to the finish of this build, I am excited for you!!! I hope you kept a record of all the naysayers so you can personally tell them to eat shit!
Dude, watch some surfboard laminating videos and get yourself a rubber squeegee it will go faster, Lam drier and thus be lighter, with less air bubbles, and drive a bit of resin into the foam. “Light and Tight” is the motto!!
I really look forward to watching these videos! Thank you for documenting your build!
I would reccomend buying yourself a cheap set of aluminium rollers if you do more fibre based material work. You'll find you use less resin as you can squeeze it through the material and really spread it properly, unlike a brush.
Carbon sandwitch, that's what they do while building formula cars, but they use aluminium honeycomb instead of foam. Good stuff, should work perfect!
Yep, true, the proper way of using composites. His explanation is also spot-on as well on how the tension goes on the materials.
I know it well... I had to... cram it for tests...
As I've sorta ranted/show appreciation on my own comment, I really like how he's putting proper thought on it, with real engineering thinking and not some random backyard "it works" style. Makes you really appreciate the project and see that it has true potential.
Is there a reason why you don't use front wing endplates? I'm by far not an expert but wouldn't they decrease turbulent air and help with overall air flow?
Thanks for your great content btw, I'm really enjoying it!
they would indeed increase the effectiveness of any spoiler/airfoil, they avoid the tips "leaking" pressure to the lower pressure side of it. I don't know about turbulence, that's pretty unpredictable sometimes, but it does help (a TON) on the downforce produced for the same length.
Dude! you live in Oakville, I grew up in Pickering not too far away. I recognized that suburb right away and then saw the Canadian post box.
Buddy im so impressed with your build!! I miss seeing you come into the store to buy metal. As you know Im not there at this time but would love to see your project some time.
Hey Ron, good to hear from you! Hope your recovering fine from the surgery. Yeh for sure, come have a look someday
if you still have my cell number , shoot me a message.
I think that Your clutch will handle a little more than the rating, with the car being so light weight. Great job on the build!!
Pop corns, a comfortable sofa and all your Self Made Car videos. Aaaw yeaa
Fantastic channel! what a great project. I love the detailed explanation on everything. Oops on the splitter... I think we've all done that at some point.
thanks for sharing other builds with your audience, I'll check him out on your recommendation :)
It looks like the edges of the cut carbonfiber is open exposing the foam core in a lot of places? Should not the edges be sealed and reinforced with cf? That would provide a strengthening ”frame” around the part aswell. The edges are brittle at the moment and you will ding them on the track.
This is one of my favourite channels :) keep up the amazing work!
the carbon fiber setup is genius
Damn, just bumped into this channel...great stuff
Awesome build! I can't wait to see the finished product. Thanks for sharing!
Do your neighbors know they have a mad scientist next door?
I begin missing Your videos. Is everything ok with You? I hope You didn't have any accident. I also wondered how Your bottom panel broke so easily in the front, like ginger bread when You drove Your racer on the trailer. Thumbs up! Wish You all the best!
Wanted to ask about the edges of the CF parts where the foam is exposed, arent those going to eventually gather more and more moisture and grime and gunk and basically soak with stuff?
indeed likely, a good choice would be to coat them to seal these edges.
he did mention he was going to wrap the car silver
@@philer wraps are permeable to let moisture out, preventing water vaper bubbles , but it goes both ways. So will not prevent soaking up water weight.
What an awesome video! So much great content. I especially enjoyed the CF and core composite how to, much appreciated.
G'day from West Australia, taking shape, track day getting closer buddy😉🙂👍👍
Get some intermediates on there before you bin it like that last one!
Did u calculate how much downforce the front end is going to make? R u going to test flow separation? Awesome project, u have a lot of knoledge and skill.
Hey your videos about suspension geometry and also the ones making this car's suspension got me thinking about rear wheel steering. Does it have a place in racing?
Awesome channel. Great videos with the ASL man. Super awesome
i admire your knowledge, your courage and your ambition, building a car isnt easy. i was generally happy about your other videos until this one hahaha. Your understanding in composites definitely needs improvement. With your skills you should try resin infusion. And how a proper core structural can help with your build.
How the fuck can this channel be so underrated? Your knowledge and your fab skills are amazing! Keep up the good work! Congrsts from Argentina 🇦🇷
It's coming together!
If im this exited to see you finish this project and get to drive the car on track I cant imagine how you must feel sir. Hope you get some sleep? =D All the best!
Traction has left the server....
hard work pays off
Don't worry buddy, shit happens! Excellent job!
You should get a digital dash to display all gauges
Hey i got an idea, continue the exhaust pipe and drop it in the canard you will create higher pressure behind the intercoolers and make them more efficient :P
Blood motorsport are high hp Mercedes specialists.. also i feel like the intercoolers should be on more of an angle inside the ducks so air actually passes through them instead of across the front of them ... can you explain your logic behind why they are so flat to the body? Ive been following you since the cantilever setup in the trunk of your Mercedes i tested it on a buddies mustang and it seems to be his favorite mod .. keep up the good work..
Dude you're my hero.
well at least you whont be nervous damaging the car when driving it the first time in anger , its pre-damaged now
might be a good idea to put a aluminium round bar rod along the front edge and put a carbon layer over that , should prevent a lot of the damage you get from hitting curbstones , pilons , trailer edges and stuff like that spreads the load across the edge , it probably stops the tips of the wings from flexing down too
Absolute boss!
heck yeah, that car is lit
Great work man, looking forward to more. Btw BXR car is a Ford coyote engine not an LS.
love your work, great video
pulling pro gamer move on the opening.
*nice*
Really nice build so far! Excited to see some more body work! I also subbed
Check your car angle. Lots of f1 cars flipped due to sudden bumps etc. you can look up old Mercedes clr lemans cars
what a death trap
I love it!
I'd be fine with projects like this replacing all the bro-dozers at SEMA.
Oh my God very beautiful project!!!!!
What type of wheels do you have on your car it’s a very nice looking wheels I mean rims
Next projet build Lockheed U-2
Thank you for explaining it so well. Can I ask what would be the benefit of vacuum bagging and putting in a heated container while it cures?
I understand that you rushing with the build, but that does bot mean you dont have to take brakes between words when speaking... Other than that great job!
U r doing really high quality build 👍
I'm localish to the GTA area and wondered where you were ordering your core and carbon supplies from. Thanks
u r a genius. Absolutely love the project!!
Amazing. Best build on RUclips
Looking good man
You are my hero!
This car is sick holy
THIS IS SO COOOOOOL
