I completely forgot to post here when the video came out, but woo! It's finally done after working on this project all year 😭 Thank you all for your patience, you're real ones

I'm really proud of how this one turned out and really hope you like it too ❤️

Like usual, I'll be making a behind-the-scenes / making-of video in the coming week. If there's anything in particular you'd want more info on, drop a comment!

What’s next for the Z? Are you thinking of painting it?

Liam Batanides

Though efficiency and power didn’t drastically improve, do you feel more confident in your ability to actually use the car? I’m now heavily considering doing this to my Volvo

David Carson

13% improvement without any internal changes is massive! And it gives you flexibility now when you fit different cams, exhaust, etc (inc maybe a turbo) 😉👍

Sean Heffernan

Such a good video, the engine bay looks amazing so much decluttered so much room for activities

Watcanz

Loved the video and the collaboration with My Mechanics. Always worth the wait!

Wavey

Brilliant vid, well worth the wait. Can you touch a bit more on how you tweeked the air map before the shop finalised it? Fuel and air maps are the real black magic to me

Corey Pietrzak

Have fun spending those gas savings!

DaDamn

omygod this video was so damn good. how do you come up with all the jokes?

Boban Dokic

Cant wait for the next millenniums video

Tom Hollowell

Thanks, I was wondering about that. Great video. Lots of swearing warms my heart.

Jules Curran

Another superb video. Love your commitment to the jokes and the storytelling was excellent.

John Boren

Was making and designing custom parts in necessity to get the project done, and if you could’ve bought something off the shelf you would have, or was that part of the joy of designing something yourself?

Bricolage c'est cool

I was wondering with what camera / lens are you shooting ? And if you need any help from a fello DIY Youtuber, feel free to ask ! :p

KFH_Kevin

A very entertaining video Ron, I love your sense of humour... I was laughing like crazy!!! ✌😂👍

Bart Labeda

Right? I found myself bursting out chuckling during the video.

Bart Labeda

Man, I have missed the humor in these videos. Great clip/video, Ron.

Elyse Bennett

Any plans to cover funeral costs for the fallen spider?

Andre Avery

Amazing as always Ron! Very much worth the wait! ❤️

LokiBeat

I'm genuinely amazed at how you achieved this. I'm sure you had a lot of help, but you were the driver of this process from idea to plan to execution to iteration and so on and so forth. You are a unique talent both in content creation and ...well, idea to reality on a challenging task. I'm happy to be a supporter, albeit it of a third of one of your coffee's per month. Need to buy more merch...so you can afford half a coffee.

beau danner

Worth the wait and amazing work. I'll actively try NOT TO steal all your jokes in my work 😉

Alexandre Harzo

As an aspiring YouTuber, I’d love to know how you edit your videos (sorry if you’ve already talked about this). Do you film your whole project first and then start editing afterward, or do you create the video little by little as the project progresses? Do you write a script? I’m not sure if others would find this interesting, but I definitely would!

Papa Bogey

Early Christmas present … and thank you for putting the Patreons in alphabetical order. I use my old “PLAY-PAUSE-PLAY-PAUSE…” tap-tap-tap trick I perfected looking for my name at the end of BOM videos. You, SuperFast Matt, Built By Jeff, Fanatik Builds, Baken Bean Garage give me what I love - old fashion backyard shed engineering. It’s why I love Patreon Thanks. And see you next year.

Harrison Sorensen

What vehicles VE Table did you use to start it. Did you tell the computer it was a 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco? 😂

KFH_Kevin

David, that's the one that started me laughing so had I tears in my eyes, and the hit's just kept on coming!!!

Brielle Harrison

How about setting up the parts for others to be able to order and software to setup for the computer. It’s a great upgrade for the 76+ 280Zs and it would be awesome to remove all that crap from the engine bay as you’ve managed. Cool stuff.

Charles Paxford

Nice one, Ronnie! So, given that you have stated you won't restore the rest of the car, what's next?
