Wheelie Bars as a cost-savings measure?
These are no Nissan 240Zs. They were Datsun back in the day.
a wheelie bar would have been nice
Hey can you see if the neighbor wants to sell one
Tell James to quit going to my Boston Market when I’m there. Lol
C'mon man. Those cars were fast because they were light. A 240 wasn't built to carry a big v8 motor, it was built to carry an SR20. You then cut out a huge amount of sheet metal to clear tires and headers and whatever. Be nice. You're very disrespectful to Nissan's engineers here.
Wait so if cleeter is gonna be full time Elco, what’s gonna happen with Leroy?
James is the MAN! Love that guy.
wheelie bar?
You need to start using wheelie bars lol!
Hell yeah excited to see the nova up and racing.
Wheelie bars?
They make wheelie bars to keep that from happening, not a quick learner haha
Lesson to all. Dentist are drug pushers lol. Once you get a taste of the giggle gas, you just want to go fast
Real wheelies take all 4 tires off the ground at once like this!
I’ve said it so many times.......... WHEELIE BARS FOR EVERYONE
Dang guys HOW do yall afford SOOOO MANY BADASS CARS ,AND JUST HUGE MOTORS 😳 EVERYTHING!!?
why dont you guys take part in the street outlaws cash days or no prep races?
Let me drive your car haha
Serious question, why are you not using wheelie bars on these cars? They would save you a lot of pain and suffering.
How much for one of your neighbors nova body’s ? 68-72 preferably... surprise project for my father.
I'm so ready to see the nova rippin finally. I've been waiting to see it since it was teased in the second shop... 😬😬
Can you not run wheelie bars?
With how far turbos have come honestly id take a journal bearing turbo over bb turbo i mean yeah there nice but the price difference aint worth unless you get a hell of a deal
Cut all of it off, put your strut mounts on some front roll bars. I deal with this on front wheel drive dirt cars all the time. You need a tube from the cage all the way down to the front of the frame horns.
James, you Kyle and ol’ cleeter need to use wheelie bars on test days. I get if you use them you’ll bump into a different class. But you’d save yourself a lot of headache and damage by using them on test days, take em’ off on race days. That way you can tune the wheelie out of it, and save the body, frame, mounts... your spine.
Can you talk James into wrapping the 240 in a twisted tea wrap. Feel it is suiting with the twisted tead incident and the twisted frame roughly happen around the same time.
Or same the same design but say "Twisted 240 " instead.
tube chasis time
Are cletus and boosted boys brothers or family or just you tubers who know each other I always here then talking about each other and James is on both shows
James needs to eat more oreo's to add more weight. lol
Sorry for the damage.Never give up.
I didn't know you had a Chevy II. That's one of my favorite old Chevys.
Love early box Nova’s, have to say. Looking forward....maybe the neighbor can hook up one of his too?
I really enjoy hearing James talk about his cars, really knows what hes talking about and isn't the dumbing it down thank you
Uh you know them things that prevent wheelies CALLED WHEELIE BARS USE THEM LMAO
So..... How long til you leave youtube?
Not a fan of the ugly 240 James is better then a slant eye 240
That’s a pretty cool story behind his nova, I also love how clean his builds are
That's some good racing.
should make a special t shirt that comes with a piece of the 240's bent frame so we can help james rebuild the car, just like the freedom factory construction
WHEELIE BARS
James' Nova is so sweet!
Wheelie bar time maybe? Or not allowed in your class?
Wish they would build an LS turbo power car.......
Get James a hoist, Cleeter! :)
I learned 0.5 psi of boost makes a LOT of power.
James back in Ruby...YEEEEESSSS!!!!!!
At 13 James was building engines. Heck I was crying cause someone ate my Tinkie
Would have been cool if you measured the difference of distance from front wheel to back wheel of each side.
Well ya know James is always going to have that problem. He doesn’t peddle when it goes all . He is all pedal 😂 If send it was a person it’s James 😂💯
Question are you going to put a wheely bar on the 240 and nova when you are done working on them
Zooming into the frame damage shot, you see 100s of dollars of motor oil lol
You guys are going to kill your neighbor with covid, stay away from old folks if you aren’t staying safe.
can't find james chanel need help please and thank you
Sooooooo can we now know what the 240 did in the 1/4? RIP 240, but after the repairs it will be a new car with a new untimed run right? Or am I too nosey? :D :D
2619 221st east Bradenton
So do we know what times it ran? Doesnt need to be a secret anymore now its wrecked.
Watched yall since the beginning. I miss the days when yall built the cars. Wish i could see cleet and james "get the toolbox" and build an el Camino. I understand the channel has become bigger and your time is well consumed but i feel like building and racing was the point. I love the shows yall put on and am looking forward for more.
James that just means the American car with a frame has cheaper metal. James you're way better off with the 240 A lot better than half of a soda can.Stop blaming metals for your driving skills PUTO !!!!!!!!!!
Not that surprised it broke since you have cut out so much that are meant to support and strengthen the chassis. Thats the prise you pay weighthunting.
All I learned is when James wants a new build he just wheelies it to the moon
You guys accidently showed us this nova almost a year ago! It's about damn time!!!
I love how James has the engine completely out of the 240, but hasn't touched the Christmas lights! 😆 That's a racer! #priorities
Rip leroy 😢😢
sooo...Is there a class you are trying not to get into with the use of a wheelie bar? Just wondering why no wheelie bar with the possibility of it popping up again.
Maybe james should get an wheelie bar.
when does jack stand jimmy channel come out?
James garage sounds like a good youtube channel name. just sayin
what is the bandsaw called in the background at 9:56
Why not run wheelie bars?
Dude nice and simple easy video but great update that I was waiting to see. Hell yeah brother
Real cars dont power front wheels they lift em
" Went to the dentist, learned about nitrous" fk hell lmao
what about leery Mann
Sooooo......are we gonna see a timeslip for the 240 now?
fiworld.info/goon/h5umrqmR34eaqYk/videot.html
A serious note though! Nobody be that guy!!!
Oh man I can’t wait, you guys have toasts bad ass big block and the elco by the end of the month. Hell yea brother yee yee👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why does James run the 1/8th as opposed to the full 1320?
Dont be tht guy????
What about leroy??
Man help me fix my passenger side front fender on my 240sx
How old is James? By his quick maths he is 28. I thought he was early 30’s like 33 or 34.
Crinkle? That's a Crumple!
And I’ll drive LeRoy for you... some of us still love him the most
hi, so instead of a new body why dont you fabricate a new front end from the firewall? kinda drift car style..
Most vehicles are tethered to the Earth, but you guys have given yours the freedom to soar!!
i have one for sale in tampa...
James is THE nicest, most relaxed and knowledgeable guy on the FIworlds and better still? He is funny As heck both out of the box and when you guys are riffing.
Why not install wheelie bars?
I want to see Ruby challenge the C6 "el jefe" in a 1/4 mile race. They claim to have the baddest c6. I think Ruby would smoke them.
Hoping the 240 recovers from it's stint in the Auto ER
I do notice James and Cletus.. YOU GUYS FORGET TO PULL YOUR FACE SHIELDS DOWN a lot 😎 just saying. I Love You Guys 🙏 stay safe so there's always another day 🌅🌄
I'm just glad you were ok🙏💪😎👍💯💢🍀🥦
go grab leroy and go put the hoonicorn to shame lol
the fact that he has 3 boxes of race oil in his garage hahahah
Can't wait to see Jimmy's nova!
You all need to seriously consider wheelie bars. They do quite a bit more than just keep the front down
Can't wait to see the Nova rip!
Chevy Novas exists James neighbor:YES
