I stopped as soon as the intro is "your" instead of you're.

All good...just a guy trying to provide info...funny enough your the first person to mention the your you're thing..I'll fix for the next video I do legitimately appreciate the feedback

Too bad it's not an easy fix, like a web page edit or something, especially since it's just an opening clip. I sympathize that you'd have to remove/repost the edited version.

Maybe YT could let you just replace a frame some day.

good vid, Anyone willing to take their car apart to save weight is good in my book!

I wonder if they make Ceramic brake retrofit kits for the M2. They have conversions for the GT3 and they are not too crazy-expensive and you can drop 30-40 LBS.

You can probably run g80 cc tbh

Nice! If you're trying to improve exposure on YouTube I'd suggest doing shorts instead of full YT content. Will get you more views and for people who don't have enough time to watch through full videos, it's an added bonus.

Another upside is you can potentially then copy paste that to Tiktok and you've got exposure in two sources.

Obvious downside is the extra editing work required.

Is this a drag car build?

sl0m0 · 08-05-2023, 01:19 PM

Finally got around to watching it. Bold actions. Are you putting in bucket seats instead? The wheels are a bold choice, but I like them.
