- [Narrator] So one thing we realized working here
at Branded Title Company with Tyler
is that he looks kinda like Pitbull.
Go ahead and take the hat off,
now throw the glasses on.
Instantly, he's Mr. Worldwide.
(laughs)
(hip hop music)
- What is going on guys?
Welcome back to another episode of
the Fitment Industries E30 build collab.
- Woo!
- With Branded Title.
As you can see.
- We've been doing things.
- Where were you last time?
We could have used your help.
- I was editing, brother.
- Okay, all right.
- We have a job, I swear.
- Well, so, as you remember last time,
we got the rears pretty much installed,
we didn't really touch the management,
but we got the rear diff replaced,
we got the rear bags in, and we got the rear struts in.
We couldn't touch the fronts
because the way the E30s are designed.
When we put it on coil overs, we couldn't undo what we did.
So, we had to go find new knuckles
and a new strut tube housing assembly thing.
We searched all over (beep) the Midwest
- And the eBays.
- And the eBays. Because brand new ones, genuine OEM
from BMW are $1,700 a side.
- That's (beep) nuts.
- That's crazy.
- So, we were actually able to track down some used ones
from a local guy, thank God.
We were actually able to go grab them.
- It was a miracle.
- We got that,
we got them welded up with
the new air struts and everything.
I think we're ready.
- Assembled a little bit here.
- Yeah.
- Beautiful.
- Yeah.
Had to that whole.
- This design is dumb as (beep) though.
(laughs)
- So what we're going to be planning on doing today
is get the AccuAir
and those CVT with the E level management installed.
Get the front installed, potentially.
- We'll figure it out.
- Potentially.
(claps)
- That's the goal.
The goal is to get it on the ground today.
- Let's do it.
- So, something we're going to kind of mock up,
basically, what our plan is.
I think we have a general idea of
where we want to mount the ENDO CVT tank in the trunk.
We gotta make sure that all of our lines
and all of our wiring and everything is going to work
where that is.
- [Host] It will.
- I say we just take this spare tire out,
and then utilize that space, all right?
- [Man] For what?
- And then we're just gonna
- You don't even know!
- Cold beer.
- Yes.
- Beer and ice.
Anyways, and then we're just going to self-tap
into here, mount this bad boy right here.
We'll put the carpet back over it though.
And then it's just running wires and running lines
and carry out.

- (mumbles)
- Those says if you're in the driving seat,
driver's seat, and you start up the car,
and the compressor goes on, you will not be able to hear it.
I'm calling (beep).
It's going to be quiet,
but I do think you'll be able to hear it a little bit,
just a hum.
- Okay.
- And if you lose, you're buying me tacos.
- I mean, either way, I'm getting myself tacos.
- [Cameraman] Have either of you seen any of
the ENDO CVT videos that AccuAir produced?
- No, and then Joe start talking about them and I was like,
this might not be that good.
(laughs)
- So, we took out the rear seat.
Look at this.
We're making money, baby.
We got dimes, pennies, legos.
- [Host] There's pennies in there?
- This was definitely Corey's doing.
I don't know who else would drop legos in here.
- [Host] Do you see this?
- To the front door, again, bring it around these.
(hip hop music)
- [Host] I hear something back there.
- [Cameraman] Yeah, I hear that.
Do it again.
Yeah, that's giving power back.
(car noise rumbles)
Hey, that light turned green.
(car noise rumbles)
- [Host] They're on? They're live?
- [Cameraman] Yeah.
(laughs)
- [Host] We've got lights!
- [Cameraman] Just wait for it.
- [Host] Is the light on?
- [Both] Yeah. - [Host] It's blue.
- [Cameraman] Just give it a second.
(car noise rumbles)
- [Host] (speech drowned out by car noise) (beep)
- You think you're going to be able to hear that
from inside the car.
That's so quiet.
- Oh, it's insanely quiet,
but I think you'll still be able to hear it kick in.
- We still have to put the isolators on it yet, too.
There's mounts.
So good.
- Yeah, she's pretty quiet.
I'm impressed because when you get in my car it's like
(loud car sound effects)
for thirty minutes.
- You know where all three of those need to go?
- Huh?
- All three of those wires.
- I got the two.
- What about the headlights?
- See, what is that even for?
- For driving with air ride at night, Sean.
I can't make that any more clear.
- Doesn't even make sense.
(laughs)
- Who's going to be putting the struts in.
Can we get her up higher?
- I can get the fronts from here (murmurs)
- [Host] Okay, cool.
What do you know about the Joes?
- Hi, so, big job after this.
- [Host] What's that?
- I need you to call the judge and get the plugs.
(laughs)
- [Host] Got his (beep)!
(Yells)
- What if we mounted her right here, bud,
and then just ran all the wires underneath
- I love that.
- Is that sound enough to do that?
- Yeah, this is nothing.
This doesn't move or anything, it doesn't vibrate,
just BEEP self-tap her in the God BEEP thing or what.
- Yes.
- You know?
- Yes, brother.
- See it right there?
- Yes, brother.
- And tuck it like that. Yeah? - Yes, brother.
No, that's a perfect spot, it's a perfect idea.
- Yeah?
- You're something else, you know that?
- Thank you.
(loud banging)
What the fuck is Sean doing?
- [Host] That's going to take forever
and they're only going to see you doing it
for about five seconds.
- Lucky
(hip hop music)
- [Host] Watch out for our fenders, man.
- Sorry, dude.
(hip hop music)
- [Host] You can ground anywhere.
- That can just be a ground?
- [Host] Yeah.
- Okay, I didn't know. I didn't want to sound like an idiot.
And in turn, I sounded like an idiot.
(hip hop music)
- We're currently installing the E level sensors,
basically, the whole brains of the operation, here,
so these guys.
I think we've got the fronts pretty much figured out,
about what we're going to do as far as a game plan.
Gotta make up a couple brackets
and stuff like that for the sensors.
The rears are going to be a little bit of a different story.
I think we have an idea of what we want to do,
- Those are a little tricky.
- Those are tricky.
There's a lot going on in the back end of these cars.
All right, so, I have no idea what I'm doing.
- [Host] Yeah, what are you doing?
- So, basically, you have to mark
the suspension at full droop
to the suspension at full compression.
The amount of suspension travel that you have,
and basically, you're going to take that into consideration
making the linkages.
So, they recommend marking where
the control arm is at full droop.
- Hi, Larry. I'm Daddy.
- [Host] Stop! Dammit! Uh oh, spaghetti-ohs.
(group laughter)
- [Cameraman] Daddy's thirsty.
(laughs)
- I was going to say, you don't have one of those.
I'm confused where they want me to clamp this to.
- [Cameraman] I do have a clamp with me.
- Yeah?
- [Cameraman] If you need one, yeah.
It's one of those plastic ones.
- I just don't know where.
Yeah, why don't we try it.
- [Cameraman] You want a big guy, or a little guy?
- [Host] A big guy.
- [Cameraman] All right.
Big guy.
♪ Bum, bum, buh dum bum ♪
Solid.
- So, I am currently working on the height sensors
for the front as the other guys are working on the rear,
kind of feeding lines through, all that kind of stuff.
I figured I'd start tackling
the biggest thing that we were worried about,
which was installing these height sensors.
The way that we're going to mount them in the front,
instead of mounting them like this,
we're going to mount them up and down to clear everything.
(hip hop music)
- We got the new Corbeau seats in, they're black.
But we have these rear seats, right,
and they're beige, they're old man beige.
We're gonna do a rear seat delete in the future,
so, I guess this is the placeholder,
and just making the car smell like spray paint
is the main goal here.
- [Cameraman] Hell yeah.
(laughs)
- Should we give her a whirl?
- Yeah. I'll let you do the honors.
- [Cameraman] Yeah, go right there.
(spray can noises)
(group laughter)
Oh, shit.
This actually, not going to lie,
this is pretty dope.
This is pretty sweet man.
This seat was tan beforehand.
- [Host] Was tan.
- [Cameraman] Not anymore.
It looks legit.
(hip hop music)
(clapping and cheering)
- It should be very exciting to see the E30
in a finished state for once in it's entire life.
- [Cameraman] For once.
One time.
- One time.
We're going to see how good Corey did.
- Sean's going to go and grab me the car
and giving it to us.
He's going to deliver it to us.
We're getting a delivery from Branded Title.
(car engine roaring)
(cheering and clapping)
(car engine revs)
(cheering)
(hip hop music)
- So, what happened.
How did it go?
- Yup. Uh huh.
So it was going to be like "oh yeah,
"we'll get this done in a night,"
and then three nights later, we were like,
"hey, maybe it'll get done the next night."
And then it just was like kind of issue after issue,
but it was a great learning experience.
None of us have done height sensors
and it was really cool to install
and learn about AccuAir.
We've dabbled in air lift performance before,
and we have air lift performance struts,
but we've never done the ENDO CVT tank
and the height sensors.
- And then what else did you do?
Did you do anything to the outside, too?
How's the inside?
Should I open it?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Or is that a secret? - Go for it.
- Do we want the cameras to see?
- [Host] Probably.
- Oh, wow, I am so sorry about your hands.
- You get what you pay for.
- Open the back door?
- Because that was an area of concern.
- [All] Ooh!
- So, is this the same seat?
- That's VHT tint, brother, on the back seat.
- So, nobody should ever sit in this
because it's going to crack.
- No, no. Push on it.
It's actually vinyl.
Look at that.
- [Cameraman] Can you give the camera
an explanation of how this wheel thing came about?
- What about it?
- [Cameraman] Did you reach out to Motegi?
- Yes, so we actually met Motegi at Sema last year,
and they were talking about
partner with something unique,
and we said what if we did a two piece, forged,
four-lug wheel,
and then they looked at us like we were crazy.
And, so, we ended up doing it,
and then we ended up getting these wheels.
So, these are one of one, Motegi,
I think they're the MR166s or 167s,
I can't remember off the top of my head,
Hank's gonna tell me if I'm wrong in the edit,
but these are directional wheels
and they look really good.
And, so, they got the custom embossed F-I logo,
so that we can never get rid of them, absolutely ever.
And then, in turn, a tough set up, looks good, Corey!
(clapping and cheering)
The man, the myth, the legend.
- They fit.
How did you know they were going to fit?
You can lie.
- Measurements?
- Yeah
- Blind luck.
- The gallery, that helped a bit.
- Did it?
- Yeah, it did.
Because it showed me what diameter I could run,
what height, what offset.
Offset helped a lot.
And then just the micrometer.
- How does it feel to see it actually?
- It feels good because I lost a lot of nights sleep
knowing that they were making a one off wheel
based on my measurements.
So, that was scary.
- All right, so the E30 is here,
and it actually looks pretty fantastic
in all senses of the word.
Now there's probably going to be a few comments
out there that's like "aw, wheels and a bit like."
(murmurs)
Well, you know what, that may be your opinion,
- We spray painted the seats!
Is that a build?
- They spray painted the seats!
They put door cards in it.
They made it drivable.
Pretty much what they did, is they made it (beep) up.
Some of the car.
So, it looks good.
So, we're on to another season,
this is the finale of the season then, right?
- Actually, we're taking it to Chicago this weekend.
- I wish you the best of luck,
because the best time to test out a brand new car,
with new exhaust, new intake, all of that,
- Is by driving it into a different state.
- Absolutely.
- Really. Yep. - Perfect
- No triple A, to a car show in the rain in 50 degrees.
- Yeah, if something happened, let's say,
a fitting came undone or something,
we'd be (beep).
- Statistically, this is not working in your favor.
But, it's gonna be a great episode.
- That's just how much we trust the work we put in.
- What are you driving?
- I'm driving my Focus.
- What are you driving?
- This.
- See, I'm smart and I took my own car.
- You brought a focus.
You're going to be broken along right next to him.
(laughs)
- Brother, it has a bunch of recalls, all right?
- Brother.
- And they fix everything. - It looks super good.
If you guys haven't had a chance to go check out
Branded Title, be sure to do so.
Go give them a subscribe, they're a new channel,
they're trying to rebuild cars and all that sort of stuff,
but also let them know what
you actually want to see rebuilt.
There's a lot of channels out there doing that sort of thing
so we want them to know what hasn't been done,
or what you'd actually like to see done.
And, of course, don't forget to get your wheels,
tires, and suspension over at fitmentindustries.com
because gosh darn it, brother.
- Oh geeze. - That's what we do.
It's a little rough up here.
- Put that back on.
- I'm sorry, my bad, all right.
Xander came up for a second
- I just want the world to know that
Alex said my car is going to break down,
but we literally just had to push his car in here
because it won't start. - That is absolutely true.
Goodnight, everyone.
Have a good one.
It was nice talking to you.
It was nice doing this episode.
Love you. Goodbye.
- At least I drive my car.
