what's up youtube it's your boy carmen from edge and welcome back to another video in today's video
we're gonna go check on the acura today um it's been a couple of weeks since i checked up on it so
i need to start it and stuff like that so that's what we're gonna do right now
and also i'm gonna record some content with it let's go ahead and give the g37 a cold start
i can't wait to see the actor it's been a couple of weeks i'm not gonna lie it's been like
how many weeks let's say i say three weeks to four weeks that i seen the accurate
um i do miss it kind of giving up on it a little bit and i'll tell you guys that when i
you know get to the car and stuff and what i'm thinking but i don't know if i'm gonna
do it but i'm gonna just tell you guys what i'm thinking all right y'all just pulled up
on the ag here y'all can see look at all them spider webs man damn sitting thinking sitting
you know i got the club but before i started i want to just show y'all
that i'm not tripping and why someone's talking about the blue smoke
and some of y'all may think the head gasket the head gasket hey guys i'm about to show y'all right
now that is not the head gasket so just give me a second let me open up the radiator cap right now
look blue i mean green fluid i know it needs to be blue i'm gonna switch it out
to honda eventually but green fluid cool it no milky stuff no milky stuff at all real thin
do this right here look at the oil real thin looks like oil just got to oil change
not too long ago they would have said so i'm about to do nothing let's open this up right here
look everything looks real good down there looks solid so
there y'all go let's try to start it it's gonna need some gas too
let me actually see if this one works
this key
no this don't start it but it'll open it
damn
i don't even get a click
oh yeah that's dead dude
oh yeah yeah it's dead so i'm actually feeling ashamed about this because i got three cars now
i should have some jumper cables but i don't so i'm gonna go ahead and call my insurance company
but i pay them a hundred dollars a year for this so they're gonna come out and they're gonna jump
it so let me go ahead and get on the phone with them right now all right y'all one headed did it
on the app so now they're on their way they said about 44 minutes but they'll probably be here
sooner they usually get here a lot sooner so right now i'm just stalled out waiting for them to come
what i wanted to talk about earlier was i ain't gonna lie i've been thinking about selling this
car now i know i just bought it and i was like you know what i put too much money in it
and this wasn't my goal like all right i knew like it had to be you know put some money in it
like you know with suspension and you know what i did with the timing belt you know motor mounts
all that whatever you know what i'm saying i knew i had to do all that
but i didn't know this problem would occur but at the end of the day i only bought it for a man so
you know i'm not really mad about that you know per se but oh no i'm still like kind of
in between because the whole point of me buying this car too was to daily drive it so i could
save a lot of mouse with my um infiniti uh g37 and g35 well g35 is stay put in the garage now
so i'm not really worried about that one but really the g37 because i plan to do
some other stuff with that motor i don't want to announce it right now but i plan on doing some
other stuff with that motor and i was trying to you know try to reserve it now uh i think
what i'm gonna do now like if i do decide to keep this car i will continue to daily drive the
g37 frigate i'll continue to daily drive the g37 and i will turn this into an actual project car
now what i mean like turn into actual project card meaning that i won't be in the soul so much of
a rush to fix it you know what i'm saying like i was in a rush to fix things because i thought okay
as soon as i fix these things i can get it on the road like all i need now is some tires some brake
pads and some inner tie rods and then you know it's good to go but you know with this smoking
stuff i can't pass small but um we're gonna try to figure that out pretty soon i'm trying to figure
that out so hopefully i'm able to pass small because actually with the smoking thing it's
not like old cars don't smoke and what it could be is just oil burning if that's the case man
i'm ready to drive it you know what i'm saying but you know california man they just don't look
out for older cars man it's just it sucks and then the dmv they hold the plates until you get a small
so i have no plates on the car i have this stuff you know i have all my paperwork and stuff but who
wants to get pulled over by the cops you know what i'm saying i'm black i'm young you know what i'm
saying so who wants to get pulled over by the cops so i'm just like bro like is any way y'all could
just give me my license plates i don't really need the full registration yeah i have the registration
to say small needed but can y'all just give me the license plate so you feel me i could you know what
i'm saying but they're trying to hold it for me boy so i got these little permits or whatever that
i got like i believe 90 days or something like that with it so i don't know man but that's just
what i've been thinking but but like i said if i do turn it into a project car i'm not gonna like
be in a rush with this car everything will come over time i'll say that like if i have extra money
all right cool i'm gonna go ahead and do this to the accurate i'm gonna do this to the accurate i'm
gonna do this to accurate because i do i mean like when i bought it it was gonna be like a
daily driver but then i changed my mind i'm like you know what i want to be a project car but then
i still want to be a daily driver and project car but charles still trying to figure that out but
oh no we'll see it's been a real headache i'm not going to lie man like this legend been a real
headache you know it's been it's been something man like got me sweating and stuff boy like
god damn like this has been like a headache you know what i'm saying especially with an obd1
little scan tool or whatever you know you it's not obd2 so you can't just hook up a scan tool
to see the check engine lights you gotta watch how the way it blinks and all that i'm like
oh man but you know it is a classic jdm car you know what i'm saying when it's actually built
like when it's actually built right you'll see like okay this is a nice cool car you know what
i'm saying but right now it looked um it looks all messed up and stuff but when it gets built right
and everything gets done you'll be like okay i see what he talking about see what he's talking
about but the car don't overheat you know it doesn't overheat i i replaced the thermostat
and all that you know it's actually it drives good for you know for what it is it drives good
another thing though i am going best in some uh some jumper cables but i actually want a
jump box something that's portable since i got three cars first start up let's see it works
we live we live see y'all the engine sounds fine all your dog
knocking sounds are nothing and this is a cold story so sounds good you said the ultimate was
got a little bit of smoke coming out the tailpipe okay that's just all conversation
but if i read one of those we will see the smoke so anyways it's smoking right here
there he goes
but maybe if i driving around i wanted to stop i wouldn't get worse so let's go
let's take this crown to ride i believe it's warmed up look at it
crazy as y'all can see i'm driving a legend you know what i'm saying
that's cool man legend cool dry smooth not gonna lie like i really do love the
suspension on this car the giant hella smooth he needs an alignment bed though
but it also needs inner tie rods bad too i got them in the back just got to get them installed
transmission shifts all right you know what i'm saying inside it's an old car but it used to
shift harder than that when i had um i didn't have the engine nose or whatever
i don't really see no smoke coming off the tailpipe
like that man it's like a love and hate with this car for real for real
it's really like 11 hate you know i don't really beat on this car you know what i'm saying i
i'd be real gentle with the legend you know i'm saying i'd be real gentle with the legend so
uh something about this legend i really don't see no smoke coming from the back
or nothing like that i always see heck of smoke coming out
oh yeah i smell it it is smoke coming out i just smell like a burnt smell
look at it
that's what it looks like
temperature didn't rise up i'm not angry
y'all accurate is man let me know what's going on look at it it's smoking
seems like it's getting worse too all right y'all y'all can see we on the freeway right now
doing a cool little 60. decided that i'm gonna just take it to the shop
and see what's wrong with it you know i'm gonna pay a hundred dollars for
the diagnosis fee at the dealership uh i'm gonna go to a honda dealership where i used to work at
so i'm gonna go ahead and just figure out what's wrong with it man so
we could try to get this all squared away as y'all can see just pulling up to the shop right now
see what they're talking about all right y'all the cars dropped off at the shop right now see i'm at
my my storage right now for that yeah y'all let me know in the comments should i keep it or should i
sell it let me know i don't know i'm like 50 50 right now but i guess we'll see what they say
when they come off the shop all right y'all just got the car back from the shop i got the verdict
um they said bad piston rings or bad pistons and uh they recommended me just getting a new motor
since i'm planning on well since i'm not too mad because i only paid a thousand dollars for the car
but um since i was planning on using this as a project car and like you know building
from ground up and you know i'm really not tripping about that because i was gonna get the
transmission um rebuilt and all that other stuff so i mean hey if i got to get a new motor for it
have a peace of mind and get the transmission rebuilt we'll have this thing running you know
back and forth to la to vegas to new york with no problem you know i'm saying but
um oh no i'm still thinking about selling it i don't know i don't know but
some in my mind is just telling me just to keep it and just do a full rebuild on it
i feel like it's going to be like one of the coldest actors in the bay you know i'm saying
because these cars are starting to get a little bit popular especially out here in the bay like
you know they're starting to get a little buzz on them i got one um you know it's a classic jdm car
so i don't know i'm just um i don't know i think i might just keep it throw the towel over it uh
we'll try to get a small just run it a little bit you know just burn the oil whatever just
make sure i got oil in it you know top it off you know whatever you know whatever needs to be topped
off but i'm going to end the video off right now for show and um i'll catch y'all in the next one
you
