When was 35?
A week or so ago.
They make this all look so easy, when I know better.
I'd have expected a cam sensor to be involved there, making 360 out impossible.
In reply to Streetwiseguy :
That all depends if they have it polling on the 1-3 or the 4-2 part of the cycle, and if they have the software set up correctly.
The leek really got me
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
Yes. They didn't talk about cam sensor, but they must have one, and I presume that's what they programmed. No way you can count on the ecu to remember where the engine stopped every time., because you'd have a 50/50 chance of it being correct every time it started.
In reply to Streetwiseguy :
They machined a doodad to take the place of the original cam sensor (or was it a distributor?) to save space.
The throttle pedal they used is so much better suited to my VW than the GM one I'm screwing around with, I just ordered one off eBay :)
Woo hooo. Can't believe another is out already. I can't wait till kids go to bed and it's dad time.
That trans fluid loop was such a flex in machining skills.
It made the noise! Good lord the OCD!

I was thinking about your project when I saw that bit

That was good, as was the fake video buffering at 25:30 right at the moment of truth!

That made me laugh out loud

Watch it all the way to the end (past the credits and Patreon list) for another Easter egg.
One of their Patrons chose the name "Bracket". lol.
This one seemed like they're in much better moods. It has to be gratifying to see all of their hard work and brainpower spent on little things earlier actually working out now. The car is bolting together seemingly like it was designed and produced by Toyota themselves.
In reply to pres589 (djronnebaum) :
I notice that you said Toyota and not BMC...
In reply to Keith Tanner :
Considering the grief they had with some of the few genuine BMC parts remaining, and the Heritage fender (er, wing), I would tend to agree.

They basically made a Wiggins fitting. They are used pretty commonly for fluid systems in most of the race cars I have worked on over the past few decades. They are not cheap, but they work very well, and have the side benefit of really simple assembly/disassembly/parts replacement. Basically a couple of o-rings and a captive sleeve over them. They have a lot of rotational freedom so misalignment is not a major issue.
Edit, just in case anyone wants to spend a bunch of money on really nice hose/tube connectors.

Hahaha, I was seriously confused at that part, literally until just now. I was like "what is that, bok choy?"
