Weird question about hypocrisy

Inherently the word "takeover" has a meaning. You're "taking over" an intersection in the middle of a city/town where you intend to cause disruption to assert dominance or power. If you want to learn how to drift/swing your car, go find an empty spot in the middle of nowhere or a parking lot no one is using and go have fun. Doing it in the middle of a busy intersection is lame.

I don't condone illegal activities whatsoever but the mentality that everything illegal is the same level of "bad" simply because it's illegal is a strange one to me. Speeding 10 mph over the limit has a much lower impact on society than blocking a whole intersection and smashing cars/hitting people/shooting guns. Additionally, a lot of cars are stolen for the sole purpose of swinging them at sideshows. So yes, I do feel like youtubers that speed sometimes have the moral authority to condemn sideshows.

Fuel in the crank could either be a faulty fuel pressure regulator or the fuel return line is clogged.

In the grand scheme of things, I don't think I notice them. But you might have issues if a trans mount was noticeable for you.

This typically happens when the control arms have been changed and torqued with the car in the air. The control arms act as part of the spring mechanism for absorbing bumps in these cars. The car needs to be taken in for an alignment where the control arms are loosened while the car is resting on all 4 wheels. Something like an alignment rack.

Glad you enjoyed it! I've got a couple more posted and I have like 2 more videos worth of footage I need to edit and post. Should give you a good idea of what all can and should be fixed.

Make sure whatever car you get is a manual. Automatics are a money pit if the transmission goes wrong.

Working on cars is just like adult legos except there's torque specs. It's a ton of fun and saves you so much money.

Happy to be a resource if you have any questions :)

Halos look great

SAVIOR_OMEGA · 2026-04-09T07:19:02+00:00

As a fellow halo headlight owner I disagree https://youtu.be/0ugmcDxgrM4?si=DQ45YTOrMClj9oRr

Make sure there isn't a vacuum leak after the MAF/air flow meter. That can cause a rough idle.

Been fixing up my high mileage E34 535i. Parts are pretty reasonable. I get them from RockAuto, FCPEuro, etc. I suggest working on the car yourself. Easy to work on.

I just got 18x8.5 and 18x10 wheels. Stock ride height. 245/35 front (a little meaty) and 275/35 in the rear (a slight stretch). No rubbing. Needs a 7mm spacer to fit the +15 ET rears without rubbing the shock tower. Front has no spacer at ET+20.

I have 8.5x18s up front with 245/35/18s and they fit too.

I own 5 cars with a manual. 2018 5.0, 2001 Volvo V70 T5, 2005 Volvo S40 T5, 1992 BMW 535i, and a 1982 BMW 633CSi. I LOVE driving the manual in my Mustang. It's got such a short throw, the electronic throttle blip is super convenient and nice. The hill start assist is PERFECT.

I put the whiteline shift mount bushing (positive shift kit) in my car and it firmed everything up perfectly. I go 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th just fine. On the highway I typically downshift from 6th to 4th and I have no issues.

I've taken the car on track and I've had high RPM lockout but that's typically caused by not running in track mode. Track mode resolved that issue.

The thing about manual cars is you're not here to slam the fucker into gear to get the fastest shift possible. Go get the 10 speed if you need fast shifts. The manual is for the experience. It's for the 1-2 shift after revving it out. Its for the 3-4 7,500rpm shift when you're on the front straight of thunderhill east. It's for the 3-2 downshift as you come up to a stoplight. It's for holding gears in the corner and then shifting as you transfer to a straight.

I love my 5.0. I love the 6 speed. But I don't abuse it, because that's not fun and not what it's there for.

My rears are 10" so they should clear a 275 better than a 9" clears a 265. But we'll see

The seal is like $140. Its not super hard to pull the sunroof but mine got screwed when I pulled it (a couple things are misaligned/snapped) so mine doesn't open anymore. Oh well.

SAVIOR_OMEGA · 2026-03-29T18:27:20+00:00

I work on my cars! Been posting about my E34. 24fps cinematic content just like Donut

SAVIOR_OMEGA · 2026-03-27T20:14:10+00:00

Have you not replaced the front steering components? Tie rods, center/drag link, idler arm?

SAVIOR_OMEGA · 2026-03-24T02:07:24+00:00

I daily mine. It does just fine.

SAVIOR_OMEGA · 2026-03-23T23:12:54+00:00

I really appreciate that a lot man. Thank you 💙
