The front-facing exhaust SCREAMS "I need a single humongous turbo".

They're living my dream of turning a $500 car into a $100,000 race car

@LatersOnTheMenjay.

Best $50,000 Nissan has ever spent on advertising And 31:38 is probably my favorite moment in Youtube cinematic history

Watching this really makes me think how far donuts come since I started watching in 2017. Really crazy glad y’all’s dreams came true

Zack quickly became my favorite donut member early on, and continues to reinforce how i feel all this time later. Dudes a beast and knowledgeable as hell, and does fantastic work with a great personality! Best hire ever

I actually had a nightmarish experience trying to get the transmission to seal back up to the engine after replacing the flex plate on a mid-90's Ford Explorer. It's not always that easy. Having the right tools (and being able to see and access all sides of the transmission) helps immensely.

13:30 "The alternator is a delicate piece of equipment" also instantly cuts away to them using a grinder on said alternator Genuinely sweet truck though

@Timbhu

9:38 the editor needs a raise because he not only cued the cutting and sparks, but also managed to add music that matched what was randomly hummed out

Man this was such a quality entertaining video, like normally I don’t watch this long of videos but it was super engaging and very manageable. I didn’t feel like I was waiting to find something I don’t like and then find a different video. Nice work Donut Heads!!
