[Music]
00:00:18
what is up YouTube
00:00:20
my um
00:00:22
I'm gonna jump straight into it I had a
00:00:25
um
00:00:26
a mount for the car but some reason it
00:00:28
doesn't fit the new GoPro so I'm gonna
00:00:30
have to do this the best I can so I
00:00:33
wanted to jump in and talk about
00:00:35
I think it's just a little bit over now
00:00:36
six months since I've had
00:00:39
the BM
00:00:40
um I want to talk about let me shut up
00:00:44
let me Shut the window I want to talk
00:00:46
about um
00:00:48
technically
00:00:50
the pros and the cons things I like
00:00:51
things I don't like about the car
00:00:54
um so when I bought the car
00:00:56
[Music]
00:00:57
um
00:00:57
the steering feedback was okay but it
00:01:00
was quite light it wasn't ideal
00:01:04
um
00:01:05
I didn't really get much driver response
00:01:07
from it at all
00:01:09
um
00:01:09
so I managed well I put eye back lower
00:01:12
and springs on it made a huge difference
00:01:13
the camber was slightly in which means
00:01:16
when you're going at higher speeds
00:01:18
because they're total slightly in the
00:01:20
steering was slightly lighter so I need
00:01:21
to adjust that
00:01:22
I've changed the tires to Michelin Pilot
00:01:25
Sport fives
00:01:27
um which made a huge difference the
00:01:28
things I love about the car is obviously
00:01:30
the noise of it
00:01:32
um it is a bit obnoxious first thing in
00:01:34
the morning on a cold start but it the
00:01:37
m55 engine with d-cat straight pipe
00:01:40
really does sing at the top end and also
00:01:46
because it's light 50 50 weight
00:01:48
distribution it's so agile and because
00:01:51
it's light and it stage two plus
00:01:54
um
00:01:55
it really does give a lot of cars a run
00:01:57
for their money golfers even m2s
00:02:01
um S3s rs3s so
00:02:05
it's a car that I've definitely loved
00:02:07
having I am technically coming through a
00:02:10
problem let me just tap that yeah Kung
00:02:12
Fu with a problem so
00:02:14
things I don't like about the car fuel
00:02:16
consumption is absolutely Dreadful
00:02:18
um but that's given with a car like this
00:02:21
um I found that even when I'm driving an
00:02:24
eco
00:02:25
driving the best I can I'm getting
00:02:28
roughly around
00:02:33
yeah sorry the screen went off then so
00:02:35
yeah I'm getting roughly around mid-20s
00:02:37
on Motorway driving driving as best as I
00:02:39
possibly can we're stuck in a bit of
00:02:41
traffic at the moment
00:02:42
that's a bad thing the other bad thing
00:02:45
which I found out recently
00:02:47
um is car insurance so my car insurance
00:02:49
in the first year
00:02:51
was just shot three grand
00:02:53
um I'm 26 I've got some points on my
00:02:56
license so that's given but this year
00:02:59
uh come up for Renewal and it is over 4
00:03:03
000 pounds so car insurance prices in
00:03:05
the UK I looked online have gone up 20
00:03:06
from this time last year
00:03:09
um so at the moment I actually don't
00:03:10
know if I'm going to keep the car
00:03:11
because a car worth 15 grand and
00:03:14
insurance for 4 000 pounds a year just
00:03:17
is ridiculous
00:03:18
um just doesn't warrant insuring a car
00:03:21
based on the price
00:03:24
um
00:03:24
Etc so in regards to that it's more
00:03:27
about
00:03:28
me like today I've literally just used a
00:03:31
company called cover because I'm going
00:03:32
to my friends in Derby and I am going to
00:03:36
um just drive to his and then drive home
00:03:38
I think cost me like 20 quid for four
00:03:40
hours or something like that so I will
00:03:42
be obviously
00:03:44
using this I'm stuck in loads of traffic
00:03:46
so yeah that is the only problem I don't
00:03:48
know if I'm going to keep the car now
00:03:49
because I as I said I don't really think
00:03:51
it's worth the money uh Insurance wise
00:03:53
so I'm gonna hold off anyway because I
00:03:56
was reading online that sometimes
00:03:58
certain months are pricier than others
00:04:00
so I'm gonna keep checking to see if it
00:04:02
goes down I am in talks with GSI
00:04:06
um about some business insurance I have
00:04:08
also contacted Adrian flux
00:04:11
they're gonna give me a call because
00:04:12
they specialize in high performance cars
00:04:14
sorry
00:04:16
um
00:04:16
so we're going to see if they can do a
00:04:18
better deal
00:04:19
hopefully they can
00:04:21
um because obviously I'd love to keep
00:04:22
this car I love this car I have lots of
00:04:24
plans with it
00:04:26
um
00:04:27
and what is the other thing
00:04:28
um
00:04:30
the response in regards to Drifting so
00:04:33
when the back end goes out on this it's
00:04:35
so well balanced it's probably if if
00:04:38
you're somebody that wants to get into
00:04:40
drifting or likes to slide cars this is
00:04:43
probably one of the best cars to learn
00:04:44
in because it is so responsive it
00:04:47
doesn't snap back it's it's so as I said
00:04:50
before really well balanced
00:04:52
um
00:04:53
I changed the brakes to
00:04:57
um EBC yellow pads with grooved vented
00:05:01
Brembo discs which has made a massive
00:05:04
Improvement in the stopping power the
00:05:05
car has given me a lot more confidence
00:05:06
in the car
00:05:07
um especially with the added stopping
00:05:10
power the only other thing I'd say as
00:05:12
well
00:05:13
um if you're looking to get one of these
00:05:14
is I would definitely recommend buying a
00:05:18
stock one with lower mileage and doing
00:05:21
all your own work to it because
00:05:23
I was reading alarm and I bought it if
00:05:25
they're already heavily modified
00:05:26
sometimes there's problems with
00:05:28
injectors
00:05:30
um sometimes
00:05:32
there's turbo lag fortunately for me
00:05:34
there is no turbo lag on this
00:05:36
um it is dialed in I had it remapped by
00:05:40
DMS Automotive Rob and the team there
00:05:42
are amazing they're actually one of my
00:05:44
dad's customers so they looked after me
00:05:47
when I got this they also remapped my
00:05:50
uh four series I had before that
00:05:52
um
00:05:53
before this and it was an amazing job so
00:05:56
ever since that was a GTS map on the
00:05:57
gearbox
00:05:59
um the this hasn't got the DCT it's got
00:06:01
the ZF box which I actually thought I
00:06:03
wouldn't prefer to the DCT but the ZF
00:06:06
box
00:06:07
I enjoy so much more
00:06:09
um I also enjoy using the paddles a lot
00:06:12
better in this than the DCT I just feel
00:06:14
like it's more engaging
00:06:17
um
00:06:18
but yeah like there isn't really much
00:06:20
else to cover in regards to the pros and
00:06:23
cons
00:06:24
um plans for the car if I do keep it
00:06:28
um is a CSF race performance intercooler
00:06:31
which is big I would like to get an M2
00:06:34
front bumper as I did in my previous
00:06:37
video I took the front splitter off
00:06:39
because
00:06:40
I cracked it
00:06:42
um and it was flapping around so I took
00:06:44
that off and now the car in my opinion
00:06:45
just looks a bit naked so I I will
00:06:48
either get a new front bumper
00:06:51
um the only problem is with this car
00:06:52
being pearl white and it's not the
00:06:54
Alpine white it's the pearl white
00:06:56
um getting the paint sprayed on the car
00:06:58
like most people know if you've got a
00:07:00
fresh bit of paint on a body panel it
00:07:02
will stand out even if it's the same
00:07:03
color so if I get the front bumper and I
00:07:06
get sprayed it will look slightly off to
00:07:08
the rest of the car which might annoy me
00:07:10
so the only other option I looked at was
00:07:12
to do
00:07:16
um I'm trying to think of the company's
00:07:17
name now they do a really nice front
00:07:19
splitter that technically is on top
00:07:21
slash like sits there's no gap between
00:07:24
the bumper and the splitter which I had
00:07:28
before
00:07:29
I I can't remember the company for the
00:07:30
life of me but um that is definitely a
00:07:33
splitter that I'll definitely look to be
00:07:34
putting on the car if I don't change the
00:07:36
bumper and I keep it I then want to put
00:07:38
a carbon wrap on the roof to match the
00:07:40
wing mirrors and a rear diffuser
00:07:43
um and then I've already done uh air
00:07:46
intakes
00:07:47
um so I don't need to do them
00:07:49
um there is
00:07:50
uh what else is I looking at there is an
00:07:53
upgraded turbo option I have looked at a
00:07:55
lot of people that have done a massive
00:07:57
single turbo on the m55s uh I saw a good
00:08:01
video on the m55 in the e82 135i which
00:08:06
when you hear the noise of it on a
00:08:09
single turbo pushing around I think it
00:08:11
was 550 brake this is at 450 at the
00:08:14
moment
00:08:15
um but it's super reliable touch wood
00:08:17
whatever I've had no issues
00:08:20
um with reliability I did have a
00:08:22
drivetrain issue come up actually yeah
00:08:24
here we go I totally forgot about this
00:08:26
so I did fix the problem the clanking
00:08:28
around problem when I put the ibad Prolo
00:08:30
and springs on it and they softened in
00:08:32
it it caused the damper nuts to go loose
00:08:36
on the left-hand side which was the
00:08:38
damper making a noise which was that
00:08:40
Banger noise I was trying to find out in
00:08:41
the next video I'll put some 5 photos
00:08:44
and videos and clips in here
00:08:46
um
00:09:24
really excited apart from this
00:09:27
extortionate amount of traffic
00:09:29
but that is given on a bank holiday so
00:09:31
I'll do a bit of time lapse and I'll get
00:09:33
some Snippets of me driving if I can get
00:09:36
it top end to sing
00:09:38
so you can really hit a car
00:09:40
instead of just accelerating and you can
00:09:42
hear it when it's
00:09:43
all open
00:09:45
um I'll get them in but uh yeah I'll put
00:09:47
some Snippets in other than that hit me
00:09:49
up in the comments if you want to see
00:09:50
anything else also hit me up in the
00:09:52
comments if I have to get rid of this
00:09:56
um and the insurance doesn't go the way
00:09:57
I want it to go what do you guys
00:10:00
recommend I should get
00:10:02
obviously I'm 26 I've got three points
00:10:05
on my license that come off next next
00:10:08
year
00:10:09
um so I need to kind of be cautious of
00:10:12
that my plan was maybe even just to
00:10:14
ensure this as and when I need it
00:10:17
um and then use my mountain bike just to
00:10:20
get to and from the gym and the train
00:10:22
station because they're both accessible
00:10:23
by bike and I can still keep hold of
00:10:25
this
00:10:26
keep the mileage down and do work on it
00:10:28
whilst not obviously using it as a daily
00:10:31
um the other thing is I got an email
00:10:34
actually talking about new cars I've
00:10:35
been on the wait list since last year
00:10:37
for a gr86 Toyota
00:10:40
obviously if you know anything about
00:10:41
them and what happened with that is it
00:10:44
sold out in 90 minutes I think or even
00:10:46
less than that I might be wrong don't
00:10:48
quote me on them figures but it was
00:10:50
super fast sell out
00:10:52
um I got an email from them and I'll
00:10:54
actually read it to you what it said
00:10:55
let's uh go to it so
00:11:01
because I was looking at it yesterday
00:11:03
where is it Toyota he got hit important
00:11:05
update so they said to me
00:11:08
hi Brandon we've got an update for you
00:11:10
because the gr86 proved so popular in
00:11:12
the UK our initial allocation sold out
00:11:14
very quickly we've been working to
00:11:16
increase the available production that
00:11:18
means more models may come into the UK
00:11:19
although volume will still be limited
00:11:22
rest assured because you're on the
00:11:23
waiting list and have been for some time
00:11:25
you will be among the first to know if
00:11:27
any additional cars become available
00:11:28
just let us know if you'd like would
00:11:30
like to make a purchase should the
00:11:31
opportunity arise if you still remain
00:11:33
interested in being on the wait list as
00:11:35
you are in the next pool of people to be
00:11:36
offered one please click the link below
00:11:38
so I have clicked the link below because
00:11:40
I have done extensive research on the
00:11:43
new gr86
00:11:46
um I've also managed to come across
00:11:47
somebody in Japan
00:11:49
who has done a serious amount of work on
00:11:53
his already
00:11:55
um pushing
00:11:57
I want to say it was like nearly 300
00:11:59
break but obviously it's a lot lighter
00:12:02
um they do some Wicked body kits for it
00:12:04
um they do some amazing stuff for it
00:12:06
um they're also going way over asking
00:12:08
price as well so they came they come out
00:12:11
they start at this price at 30 000
00:12:13
pounds and I've been told that some
00:12:15
people are looking to resell them when
00:12:16
they get them for around 45 Grand so
00:12:19
yeah that is the only other option
00:12:21
um if I get an allocation for one of
00:12:23
them that would be great I'd love one of
00:12:25
them
00:12:25
um
00:12:27
rear wheel drive mid-engine 2.5 liter
00:12:29
boxer engine a 2.4 liter boxer engine so
00:12:32
that is an option so
00:12:34
um I'm stuck in traffic so I'm not going
00:12:35
to video much of this because it is
00:12:37
pretty tediously boring sitting in this
00:12:40
whatever this is oh there's a tractor
00:12:42
nice
00:12:43
but yeah we'll get some drive-by stuff
00:12:45
um and enjoy the rest of the video and
00:12:47
uh if I don't see you before the outro
00:12:49
like comment subscribe I'll see you in
00:12:51
