I like where you're going with this! Either the recepient and/or the trophy givers (Joe and I) should have to eat something directly off of the engine. I could see hot dogs off of the manifold heat shield, for example.
Yes, thank you- there are 5 categories that are listed in the video and then 5 more that Joe and I will be making up at some point during The Shootout.
Hello All,For millions of years, ball and stick sports have had their shiny ball awards for getting goals and stuff. Show business people have their token trophies for pretending to cry on TV. Now, there’s recognition for the truly deserving car enthusiasts…The Boostie Awards!At the 24th...
Hi Everyone, here's the latest video update on the old Galant, I hope you enjoy it!Also, in case you haven't heard, my old buddy Joe and I have started a weekly podcast called "The Tom and Joe Auto Show" We're having lots of fun doing it and hope you'll give it a listen!
Hear it on iTunes...
Thanks man! I suppose you saw the little preview at the end, right? :D Regarding IATs, the factory setup does lay that pipe right on top of the exhaust manifold, but the cold side of the intercooler has remained ice cold to the touch, so it must not be too bad. The bigger issue is the...
Thanks a ton Dsmkauai! Due to my modest power goals, I'm keeping the stock 3 bolt setup for now. I really hope to swat away the "100 more horsepower bug" and keep everything simple and easy. We'll see how that goes. :sneaky:Good luck to you and enjoy your VR-4. Got some pics I can check out?
I'm trying man! It's been slow going lately though, ugh.Haha!Me too! It's not perfect, but is a nice, rust free and well cared for example.Thank you for saying that Ricky and I'm glad that you enjoy them! Weirdly enough, it seems that no matter how much raw footage that I start with...
Thank you so much for all of the kind words gentlemen! I'll admit that I'm behind on replying to everyone, so my apologies for that. That said, here's the latest update on the Galant, I hope you enjoy it!
Hi All!Here's the latest episode, where we get rid of the tiny stock intercooler in favor of something a bit more capable. Thanks for checking it out!-Tom
Thank you as always for the great support and kind words Erik, I really appreciate it! I can't resist putting the goofy stuff in there. It's just a reflection of my personality and hopefully it keeps things light. The Galant is a darn unique car with lots of character. I always appreciated...
Thanks man! Yes, the intercooler install will be the next video and yes, I plan to be at the shootout again this year. See ya there!No. Haha! Heck, the car is still in pieces all over the place! I'll be lucky if it's done by the 2015 shootout at this rate.
Thanks man and sorry to hear about the blockage, that bites!Thanks Kyle! I'm trying man!Thanks man!I love the ETS folks and everything they do, but it's not an ETS... :sneaky:
Thank you for saying that! Honestly, I don't have any goals or expected end result from making these videos. I just enjoy the creative aspect of making them and telling a story in this way. Most of all I enjoy meeting new folks and seeing what people are working on in their garage. It's also...
Thanks and please don't stop, I love it man!Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoy the videos! :hell yeah:As for the vent tube, I run it back to the stock location in the turbo intake hose. My old trick is putting one of these Fram inline filters before the intake hose inlet to...
Thank you and I hope you enjoy it! I'm working away putting it all together over here. Doing tons of recording, writing, editing etc. lately.HAHAHA!! LOL I needed a good laugh today!Good deal man, enjoy your new setup!
You're welcome sir and thank you for the awesome support! I can't tell you how much I love hearing about "wife reactions" to my videos- it always makes my day and usually is good for a laugh too ROFL.I only wish I could make videos for y'all more often, as I work on them when I have free...
Thank you for the kind words! Outside of the Galant, I don't have any plans to begin a new project, but I definitely have a few ideas brewing.Thanks man, I do hope to bring the Galant to the shootout this year. I've got plenty to do before then though!
