When jack tells him he had to buy a new up his face🤣🤣
PLEASE GIVE ME MOOOOOOOOOORRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
25:34 he went Scottish for a second
Want a ghetto advice? Use a smaller bolt, weld it to the bigger bolt that is broken, get it out. Or use a steelrod, weld it to the bolt that broke, use a grinder to flatten two sides of the rod, then use a wrench to get it out. have saved me on many old rosty Volvos :P But never forget, pray, alot. lmao
What size are the wheels. How do the springs feel? I often hit the bottom with my z3. I don't know if my springs are too old. Or that my wheels are too big. I am considering buying this set of springs as well. I have read that they are stiffer. so I hope to hit the bottom less. I have already replaced all the shock absorbers. that didn't help.
Ethan using Mac tools cause he knows it’s the best company
Brilliant start, looking forward to seeing more
Proud of Ethan, over the years went from non car guy to low key car guy :)
Why didn't they clean and repaint the break calipers
- Let's eat... - There's a spider!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ethan is my spirit animal
Instead of getting new wheels why don't you just refurbish the stock ones and paint them. When's the next video of project z3.
Unnecessary mechanic work. The cars was not designed to be so low. A lot of risk on the road. Don't do it.
Oh man, for Ethan to put up with the crap you guys dish out, he is my hero!! For all us non-mechanic car guys...he is now our mascot! I feel your pain bro
'Don't f*ck it up cos it'll take your face oof '
Without a doubt you guys are the best factual entertainment and banta...ever! Keep it up!
I really love this series🤣
I wish we had pizza breaks at work
10:45 why you should never use a gun tightening up
Too many Ugga duggas
Poor Ethan =(
co za amator.
Anyone know what impact gun that is 👍🏻?
The garage I work in now the last two years and they did not let me use a inpack gun for first 4 months of my apprenticeship and I pulled spanner’s before then for many years why did yous let him near one 🤣
"Old out yer and" always gets me bes t part of the vid give me spring plz
4:57 “it’s taking the weight of the car, I think your 50 kilograms is alright” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ethan would rather pay Kwikfit, They'd sell him a set of tyres then charge him extra for supplying his own parts. OMG it's painful to watch him working on a car.
lol f
As a novice myself it’s nice to watch other people suffer
I love that Ethan is such a novices, it gives me hope before I venture into the garage
Let's get the Haynes manual and torque to spec....or we could just snap the bolt with the impact to make an example and make him learn from it.
More project car! Episode every 3 days if ethan can handle it :-)
Nothing against Gareth, but I enjoy these more when it's only the three of you.
Can we get a breakdown on that jack/brake disc stool creation at 19:23? I feel like that's something I need in my life.
Hello guys I am looking for a z3 for a project car to do up and I would like one under 1200 quid and I don't know where to search any help would be appreciated please
Ethan has thought me something in this video: Dont do it yourself, just pay a garage to do it.
When's the next episode
12:26 Ethan regretting his life choices...
This was awful to watch
That Omaze website lol. I never donate, I always get an entry in free without donating. Won a lame SUV and traded it for 75% of its value in cash. I only drive 2 door sports car
How is brewer just there so casually
Real quick... did Ethan use brake cleaner before putting the brake disc in?
Ethan forgot to change the blinker fluid
Eathan needs props not meany people could make it through that
Can we petition an episode of a colab between donut media and car throttle? That would be an amazing 2021 starter
I want to see Ethan do a rocker cover gasket
EBC are very good brakes. Very strong when needed
Gotta love how he is scared of the noise of undoing a nut
Was that a Dewalt battery on a Milwaukee?
Actually it’s MAC. Are the batteries interchangeable?
11:20 had the same thing with my Ram 2500 and had to buy a new hub, only I was taking the bolts off when several of them broke because that's just the way things go when you're working on a 22 year old truck in Minnesota
all part of the fun ethan! I just spend 3 days pulling the entire knuckle, hub, axle etc out of my truck just to discover the issue was a shagged drive flange xD
I have BMW Z3, i install coilovers... the way how you done is terrible.... use "gun" to tighten bolts... what you expect? cut the springs... there is just 4 bolt to change springs...
I'm a month late but that bit where ethan says, I'm not axil grinding.....the next shot, ethan's axil grinding 😅🤣
You better start actually teaching him something, seeing him fuck up over and over is not gonna be entertaining
You was meant say the spacers are hubcentric
The way ethan looks up after any sound is great😂
If you really want to challenge Ethan, get him to replace an Insignia power steering fluid pipe. Chinese contortionists struggle with that job. Yes I drive an Insignia, I'm poor.
What size Eibach wheel spacers did you use front and rear?
Bruh 1 bolt snaping is nothing i had 3 bolts snap on my exhaust manifold
What size spacers did you use?
Lazy and heavy-handed methods using the "gun" on every nut. The two blokes taking the mickey don't seem much better to me!
I Absolutely LOVE that i got a kwik fit ad for this video
I'm so sad that mike is leaving that unit, hopefully they continue to work with him
12:27 mental break down hahahaha
You forgot about the Z1
Please swiftly replay every time Ethan hurts himself in slow mo. I really like him but I like rewinding those bits aswell
Winning 20k dollars seems so depressing when you think it's not pounds. So ungrateful but every time I see a competition prize in $ I almost feel cheated
Gareth made this video, just a piss taking god
Damn same bolt same place broke on my e36 🤣🤣
Despite all the piss taking and psychological warfare you wage on Ethan, I gotta say you guys are great mates to help him out with a project car.
You need to fix the passenger airbag
Best advert NOT to do this yourself! Lol.
That bolt snapping was completely Garrett's fault, he did say "more", the fuck did you expect, him to say "Nah, I know for a fact that's too much, I'm done."?
I’d love to see Ethan do a timing belt
I love my z3, not the fastest but drives fantastic
Most important lesson: Do not use a rattle gun to tighten bolts!
Your not doing it tidy until you rip a fingernail off
SUBTITLES PLEASE
Just do the clutch and seats next time
Mike Brewer legend 💯
They are really messing with ethan lol, should've tought him about using hand tools first tho and then later went to the gun as if he doesn't know how tight to put it by hand then he's definitely going to break bolts the first few times he uses the gun.... and how did it take you guys 10 hrs to do a brake job and change out springs lol, did this on a car for the first time and it only took me like 2 hrs to do all the springs and then another 30 mins to do the brakes lmaoo (the car I did it on was also a pile of rust)
Loved this and totally get Ethan’s frustration. But please cut the innuendo Alex, it’s not funny and it’s embarrassing when watching the video with my teenage kids.
Yet, that's luxury to wrench in a warm garage with space between the car and walls! Also be able to make loud grinding without being reported.
Mike Brewer has a tool kit!? Is it still in the packaging from Halfords??
This series is amazing and a brilliant idea! Can't wait to see him rebuild the engine in a future video!
You did this in a day as a "novice", DAMN THAT'S QUICK!
one last thing. most of us are adults and dont mind a bit of swearing. hell im half Irish so it comes as second nature to me!!!
Never seen so much joy taking off a wheel.
also, the old car in the back of the garage, is it an austin 7 or 10?
or maybe an a6 perhaps?
you have all those tools there but no welder? see if you had had a welder you could have welded the the bolt head back on and then slowly undone the bolt like that. it isnt easy and doesnt always work, but more often than not it will be your only job and take about 10-15 minutes
on the one side i hate shit like that , because i feeal it like it was me ... but on the other side it is ethan....soooo... still kinda hurts
I feel like Ethan deserved way more respect than he got here. This is quite an involved job even for an experienced DIYer. For a newbie it was probably quite daunting - guys should have been more supporting of that, he did good for a first time job!... The Ethan of 3 years ago wouldn't have even attempted such a thing, so credit where it's due, he has grown as person. Maybe not a true car guy just yet, but well on his way.
This video is sponsored by your local mechanic
I feel very proud of Ethan and his progress! Great video guys
Everyone who's ever worked on a car felt their stomach sink when he went for that last shot with the gun..
We need episode 2!!
not a fan of mike.
All you need to do is just to... "A bolt" 😅🤣🤣
This is what nightmares are made of.
I've had a shit day. Ethan has really cheered me up. Good work Ethan. My favourite bit was the utter despair on Ethan's face after the bolt was broken
