    I really like the shots of Coby and Mark watching each session and talking to each other as it goes on!
  • @John-bd3ts
    Mark is questioning his life choices 😂
  • Best series on youtube. The ups and downs of racing, letting us live vicariously through ya'll.
  • @Nickorator
    You guys have truly mastered event filming in a way no one else quite can.
  • @threepotMR2
    LSD v's Open diff has been tried here in the UK on the Mk3 MR2 and the lap time differences are significant.... like 4 or 5 seconds on a 2 minute lap circuit. Cornering stability especially on the exit is greatly improved, with the open diff even on the 2ZZ engine you can't put the torque down, on the 2AR swap it would just be silly to drive it on an open diff.
  • @A_T88
    Dang guys!! You broke BOTH cars?!! Hopefully you’ll bounce back quickly 😢
  • @danielcgomez
    Yea ...those CV joints are being asked a lot of in those door-to-door races guys. We strip, clean and rebuild our axles for club circuit racing every other race event(about 4~5 hours of track time; practice, quali, and 3 races) and use Redline CV-2 grease. Good luck next time!
  • @Saponiboy227
    The way that civic came around the corner at 4:00 good god 🔥🔥
  • What's wild is, when the MR-S gets sorted, Ben is prolly gonna fly in that thing. He's going over a "mini-Initial Drift plotline" with this thing.
  • You guys really need to relax and have fun a bit! You remind me of when I started driving, I was so hot tempered and if anything went wrong I made sure everyone, including myself knew it wasn’t my fault. There’s literally no reason to do this and a thousand reasons not to. Complaining is bad for focus, the team, the viewers, the sponsors, etc. The second you get in that seat your job is no longer mechanic, YouTuber, host, or engineer - it’s driver. Just driver. Drive the car, as is, to the best of your abilities. Communicate what the car is doing, but don’t waste brain power on diagnosing. Your coach is right and is being really nice about it. I would be holding you by the helmet and shaking you 😂 I love seeing you guys develop and grow, so keep it up.
  • @SeeScottWrite
    I love the positivity between the team the whole time, especially the comment for Mark… “Then what’s the rush? There is no rush, the man’s just a superstar!” Just keep pushing, you’ll get ‘em!
  • @eanmillerphotos
    I just want to say as a professional videographer/photographer and life-long car enthusiast, I absolutely love your videos. High production value, good storytelling, and great characters. This is beyond the quality of what you even see on TV (in my opinion) and feel more like a netflix or prime series. Great shit guys!
  • @nickchambers9097
    I must say this as been 1 of the most exciting episodes lol. I so want that MR2 to succeed...Cody Cody Cody, you the man bro!! My saturday has been mad. THANK YOU
  • @jesse9638
    Are upgraded axles allowed in your classes? Also, we need to get these boys sponsored by ignite and get them some drums of E85 or E90 to have with them.
  • @AlphaDigitalFK8
    Coby with the solid suggestions and coaching. Love that. And Mark is a godsend for you guys.
  • @eckomob6898
    Fellas, I trained Soldiers for 12 years or so. The activities are different but the principle mind set is the same. Dump everything you have no use for in your head. Focus on your win for days on end sit and visualize your race. Tunnel your focus into positive performance. The corner you have trouble on, close your eyes and see yourself nail it perfect. It feels silly at first but your mind will go where it's been. It will put you where you put yourself in the day dream. You will instantly know what's happening, you'll know the outcome. It's silly but this is a very solo thing to embrace. What I know for a fact is that no matter what it is your thinking of. The thoughts that occupy your mind the most, is exactly what you become. Scared the police are going to pull you over for your new stancy boy jetta? There they were. It's a sword that cuts both ways, you understand. It's very easy to tunnel negativity, we're hard wired for it. That's why everything looses it's luster after some time. You start noticing the scratch here, little chip there. Force yourself for 5 min before you go to sleep to think about how good tomorrow will be. It's important to do this before you sleep, because that's when your brain is doing all the "programming" for the next day. Enjoy your hard work and enjoy what you do. Find the humor in your sometimes unfortunate life events. You're fantastic both of you, Luke too. Boys just dream a little bit and believe it. You'll be amazed. Promise.
  • @sp3ct0r72
    I’ve had that happen on my MR2S also after I installed suspension and messed with the geometry. Went through three axles. What I ended up doing is throwing in a celica axle since they’re a little longer and has been running good ever since
  • @MrJasons9
    Loving this real racing content, Ben Lin keep at it, I hope you know how many people are cheering for you.
  • @jmccarsnmore1025
    Gears & Gasoline: Ben by Ben, Axle by Axle!! Keep it up team. It’s all part of the process.
  • @bigk13
    "DO BETTER" 😅😅.... That is verbatim what my gf yells at me when I'm sucking at putt-putt or other menial activities. Your entire team is the best. The way y'all talk each other up and push the others is great. You guys got this. What a journey this will be to tell at the end (a long long way off). I will be along for the ride EVERY step of the way!!
