  • I can really appreciate the fact that they did a whole engine swap, start up, dyno sesh, and track time in one video! Other channels would stretch that out into like 5 videos.
  • @Lleonne96
    Finally Hi-Low series is back after Jeremiah tease us with some study on why the Low-car engine blew up on the race day, and yet the Low-car team, with the car... never disappoints in surprising anyone who doubts them. Love the series!
  • @Brandon-ln5hr
    I’m 37 years old. And life happened. The dream I had as working on cars had dwindled to nothing after having kids, a career, a marriage. But you guys have reignited the excitement for me once again. I salute you all. Great content!
  • As a non car educated fellow, seeing these cars being torn apart caused much anxiety as I imagined being tasked to put it back together and expecting it to work. Much respect to you guys who possess such knowledge and skill.
  • @ohwhoaitzjoe
    Props to the video editors. They took what probably was chaos and hours of footage over the course of a few days and made it into a coherent story filled with humor, drama, and passion.
  • @scon3s619
    Nolan high fiving adams fist bump perfectly describes low team’s difficulties😂
  • @KingdomAuto
    You could tell by that reaction at 26:32, Nolan did NOT think their car was gonna start 😂 Great work to the entire team for putting a video like this together
  • @jackpaxton9391
    Nolan screaming when he got the car started was so wholesome. That is the purest form of emotion right there.
  • @jonmayer
    Nolan was the highlight of this episode. It was really fun to see how happy he was from the moment the engine started to the end at the track.
  • I love the fact that I didn't have to wait 6 episodes over the course of 6 months to see the swaps complete. Love the video!
  • @theonetruebean
    The fact that James starts this video completely clean shaven and has a decent beard at the end is telling is story within the story.
  • @blackstang29
    The whole scene of Nolan starting his car was amazing. 🤣 James flinching when he blipped it, the over excited pelvic thrusts, the awkward high five/fist bump, amazing.
  • @EKez1985
    Nolan's reaction to his engine starting up is absolutely priceless. The genuine pride he had for accomplishing such a hard task. Also impressed lo-car was faster for such a heavy & low powered V8. Can't wait for the next video
  • @faideddarkness
    I think the best experiences are the ones we learn from and the best adventures are definitely the ones that don’t go as planned. Great video 👍🏽
  • From where these guys started, their skills are absolutly insane now
  • Donut really is on another level when it comes to producing content for Youtube. This episode definitely felt like something you could just watch on TV. They really have reached a pinnacle where this is better than anything you could get for this type of content on TV. Also helps that it feels like all these guys actually enjoy each other's company
  • @fragiquerence
    I'm not gonna lie, this low car build is exactly what I love about custom cars. Built, not bought baby!
  • @Maher.038
    Thanks for the effort and you guys make a v8 swap looks easy and wow that is my first time in a while watching a long video without skipping the video good job guys premium quality video 👍👍
  • @12pagani
    Man Nolan’s excitement for when lo car fired up!! Felt that when I did a engine swap on my older Mercedes. No one had done what I was attempting and there are no aftermarket parts. When that thing fired up on the 2nd crank I was absolutely joyful. Also a manual swap and man feeling the slick gear changes as I’m feeling out the new motor was a wonderful feeling, especially as you realize everything is working like factory and no bad smells or warning lights!
