Julio and the JB Weld of Doom!

[ismokewead420]

for a second i thought you had swapped in a big block chevy..

[BashuUp]

prognosis:lots more money.

[thetypezero]

Dumb basterd can afford a bmw yet he cant afford bushings? Dumbass that woulda made my day when I seen that lol

[playboyEyadig]

dum ass

[cschuler420]

hmmm, jb weld fixes tons of shit, but not stupidity

[krbosak]

Dear engineering noobs, if you reinforce flexible part with ceramics, it is once again the ceramics that will remain and the rest will be broken. But it doesn't mean you should make undercarriage parts of ceramics.

[911fever]

Oh, S N A P ! ! !

[lchamut]

Shouldnt have bought a garbage beamer lol

[poopdoo1]

@Dgtlmoon yes because that's where the rocker groove is

[MrAussieMiner1]

shit these guys fail at everything ahahahahah

[ineurodreams]

He wanted to save $245 on a control arm. Now he can spend $1,500 on a new painted quarter panel and control arm.

[frosty9595]

Honestly it probably would have worked if you would have not welded it solid like you said. I watched my friend jb weld a broken spindle on his pos geo and its been 2 years now.

[gumby754]

i bet you didnt even let it cure. ive jb welded holes in bolts and shit holds up pretty good.

[Juice56107]

LMFAO Darwinism at its finest

[dgtlmoon]

are you meant to jack cars up by the thin sheet steel below the doorsill.. ?

[DroppedGT]

I hope no one trusts you with anything more alive than a video game pet or character.

[paintballgundown8]

thats what you get for glueing together your german luxury/sport car

[Dame1999]

jb weld has a hard time keeping my throttle housing together on my ATV... this is just retarded

[TheStig000]

Yeahhhhh let's botch a car together....then drive it as fast as we can!

[obocecha]

I've never used JB weld for anything in my entire life. This is an example why.

[911fever]

@obocecha JB weld is great stuff for hundreds of uses. A brain is the first prerequisite, though to anything mechanical.

[BLADE69906]

Moral of the day is: Don't be cheap in general if you are tracking your car!

If that was a faster course and doing bends at 100-130kph that's life your playing with, re-donk-culous.

[xyster101]

I would be pissed if I was at that track day. You just wasted 20 mins of time and put everything off schedule. Asshat

[Soulrider2012]

Wow, just happened to run across this video. THAT has got to be a record for stupidity. Doing something like that for a quick repair to get you home while on a trip or to the repair place is one thing. Doing that and then going racing where you are potentially risking your life and the life of others based on how your car handles is just negligent and stupid. This kid is damn lucky he didn't kill someone with his stupidity. What if that happened at 70mph on the freeway?

[vaptube]

call me crazy but i once jb welded an oil pump on a vr6 jetta and drove from Calgary to San Francisco and back, and somehow it held together no problem haha... i dodnt know why i did then but NO i would never take that risk again

[KB3GZW]

Im glad someone decided to do this to a BMW and not a Ford,

[kevinbibb]

@KB3GZW Haha... Yeah, we don't need anybody messing up those bad ass focuses.

[themn04]

I thought everyone knew you use duck tape for that. Its stronger than aluminum steel and adamantium.

[snowboi1289]

Somebody failed that day.......

[bobbysam232]

imagine a tank made out of jb weld

[CornholeAlphadog]

These guys are complete morons. This is not a suitable application for JB Weld. I'm glad atleast that the car is only a bastardized 328ci and not an M3 as it first appeared.

[kimchijeegeah2]

rofl copter.

[someonewhoisntme]

god what a retard everyone knows you use window weld for that

[bookman413]

I have dialup so I can't see exactly what happened yet...

but I would suspect that if the JB was used where urethane or rubber would normally be, then instead of absorbing road stress it transferred it all to the aluminum, causing the aluminum to exceed its yield strength.

Now I have to wait 30 min for this thing to load so I can really see....

[MXicon]

Dude, guys - Jeremy has the biggest fucking head on earth.

[cyberrshopperr]

Now, your friend can JB Weld the damaged bodywork.

[xXbastardX]

Jesus you guys chill out, I thought it was funny as hell.

[tulius01]

Just use Elmer's Glue next time works like a charm!

[ChristianCohn]

OMFG!!!

Guys seriously, you don't have a mechanic or something in the states?!

Glue such a important and highly stressed Part together and thinking this will be strong is just plain stupid. And then driving the expensive BMW and have no money for a few bucks replacement part?! Imagine that happened at 100mph+ on the highway... simply unbelievable. Years ago my front-right ball-joint broke on my Mercedes, with equal results at approx. 55mph. It lead to a fatal crash! Don't save at the wrong end!!

[mengle2004]

JB Weld is good stuff but god it is not made to work like this. Why not just get a new control arm because it take 24 hours for jbweld to setup. Didn't they have the dough? BMW drivers have money right?

[Watcher3223]

@mengle2004

You'd be surprised.

Many people aim high in their vehicle choices, including disregarding long term costs associated with service and repairs of such vehicles.

Plus, it's possible that getting the right parts would've meant having to wait for them to be delivered if there aren't any local sources.

That said, this was a bad fix and it would've been better (not to mention less costly and less embarrassing) to sit out the race, wait for the parts, and fix it right the first time.

[Watcher3223]

JB Weld is great for many things, but you'd have to be nuts to use JB Weld for this.

There's doing the job right the first time and then there's doing the job again ... and then some.

[zhmapper]

I agree... It still amazes me how many people think it actually "welds" metals together. It's just high-strength epoxy with a cool name....

[Watcher3223]

@zhmapper

Right.

JB Weld is a high strength epoxy polymer adhesive; it's basically a glue. It doesn't technically weld anything.

[journeyquest1]

Theres a right way and wrong way to do everything

[ddongbap]

it wasnt the bushing that was welded. it was the mount.

[dominicanto17dr]

jeremys big head! lmao

[Sterlin876]

haha nice. I'm surprised that thing made it to the event on the JB weld.

[FelchBelcher]

The actual, REAL urethane bushings are only $20, JB Weld "repair?" well worth it for the video.

[Cicada1337]

why's it all M3'ed out? :(

[krayzeejojo]

Wow, he must feel real smart. I wonder if he's ever driven across country on a donut.. Doing 80 the whole way...

LOL @ 1:20. That was just totally random

[Trayton]

actually guys, watch the video again. the JB Weld held together. the actual aluminum bushing is what failed.

[turbomiata007]

you kinda asked for it

[aerospaceace10]

it would be one thing if you did this as a temporary fix just to drive it slowly to a garage, but do jb weld it and race it on a track is just fucking ridiculously stupid!!!

[mats852]

Fix a bmw with JB WELD what the hell

[96owner]

so what ever came of this? car fixed now? the right way?

[TheZenStudios]

great so hopefully jb weld can fix the clutch on my dirtbike .snapped.

[jmyce3]

If you make an idiot-proof product, they just come up with a bigger idiot. Idiot!

[pongespob]

Congratulations, you passed your exam for Professional Dumbfuck certification.

Next time why don't you try plumber's putty, Scotch tape and paper clips.

[mjethier]

i'm sorry, but you have to be one of the biggest morons on the planet if you used an epoxy weld on a ridiculously high stressed part of a vehicle and then tried racing? I mean seriously...lie to me tell me that I didn't just watch this.

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

I would rather wait for the part to arrive before coming up with a risky repair.

[rover31]

Are bushings for an e46 really that much more money where *hoping* that JB Weld holds is a better fix? Especially if you are doing HPDE/auto-x. I have an e30 and bushings are cheap.

[0neTurbo]

did you watch the video and actually pay attention?

[AngryGunNerd]

i thought it was "for the loss" not "for the lose". i'm so surprised whoever did the safety inspection on the car before allowing it on the track didn't catch the repair.

[paypalbid]

thats what happens when you drive an 3 series car as if it was an M3

[mike45rules]

next time just replace the control arm bushing

[labreck12]

haha its tough shit.. but its not that tough..

[tocsa120ls]

Next time try to build a new camshaft from the stuff.

[sebazztard]

who says for the lose outside of the internet...

[egn2020]

How stupid it's glue not metal. Snake oil loses again.

[alexcandy1411]

Shortcuts can suck big time

[usmcspeedy]

Damn dude, $60 part. tsk tsk. How much did the JB Weld job end up costing you?

[Alfrunk]

True, but do any of the people in video seem to have an obove room temperature IQ?

[mike3177]

Why wouldn't you replace the bushings, their not very expensive, especially when you drive a BMW.

[sdmike1]

Repairing bushings with JB Weld? He's lucky he wasn't hurt. That's just stupid.

[ninjamunky]

VW Corrado at the end FTW

[mrZdude]

For the Win, welcome to the internet....

[lowboost]

nice car needs a new fender... sucks man, should have done it right the first time, but its amazing it lasted as long as it did lol.

[tinkertom2118]

they don't make um like they used to! jb weld is good stuff, use it all the time, simular to marine tex, probably the same stuff.

[JerkbagProductions]

Man, that sucks.

[91KA24DE]

poor bmw. i hate bmw's but what a shame.

[tsenmaisng]

M3 grille on a 325... tsk tsk.

[silber99]

It's a 330 and no :-)

[blwalla]

:\ too bad man. at least you guys proved that JB Weld is strong as shit!

[Prototypexl]

How does this video prove that though? The JB Weld failed.

[blwalla]

because the jb weld stayed intact. it was the bushing that broke. SOOOOOOOOOOO, my point is that the jb weld was stronger than the original aluminum piece. obviously, it was a dumb fuck idea to try to fix a bmw part with jb weld. so how did the jb weld fail exactly?

[Prototypexl]

Ahhhh. Sorry, lol. I couldn't make heads or tails of the video. I thought the broken area they showed on camera from under the car was the area they repaired. My bad. In that case, shit. JB Weld does rock hard. No pun intended.

[cmadki4]

where is this track?

[intheflesh714]

gainesville,fl

[EMG4Life]

the original comercials were to repair engine blocks... jb weld pwns all....

[bigt7070]

BMW= B M Wobbley

[TristarRacing]

Why would you half ass a fix for a track day??? Sad.

[bluejeansonfire6]

i personally think it wasn't so much the fact that there was jb weld less than that there was shredded rubber on the bushing which kept it from turning. Solid metal is often used on this very application, so solidity shouldn't be the issue... so i probably shouldn't have repaired the bushing... But please, tell me, in an instance where aluminum broke, in a a place that solid metal is often used, how did the jb weld cause the bushing to break?

[ibuiltmineo1oo]

im not the one jb welding my BMW, either.....

[leistungmotorwerke]

Neither am I.

[ibuiltmineo1oo]

I dont know what kink of hillbilly track that is that would let an idiot like that even on the track!

If their insurance people saw this video, the place would shut down.....

[leistungmotorwerke]

Hey moron, that's why they make people sign waivers before they go out there. Ever even been to a track? You're an uninformed dipshit.

[Prototypexl]

LOL!! McPwnd.

[dillinger4875]

@leistungmotorwerke

That reply might have been given 2 years ago, but it's still funny, lololol...."uninformed dipshit"...classic.

[shadow0imposter]

@leistungmotorwerke did u no jus bcuz u sign a waiver doesnt mean u still cant sue and win? lol

[rick0289]

YEP, he's a DUMBASS !

[Jager1988]

you deserved to crash for being a dumbass..
