[subarufansti]

those suppose put k24de

[totallygonegearhead2]

You guys did a great job and should be very proud, I was involved in another form of racing and understand deadlines and pressure, kudos to all, and congrats to Chris of K&W, a personal friend.

[audi0puppet]

Its so amazing how people get so attached to their own projects. This video is so amazing. I feel the same way about my car. A project car becomes a part of your life.

[dattomcat89]

Obviously the guy wasn't crying over the car itself. If 1) I had poured my heart in soul into giving birth to a piece of art (well, I consider any custom car to be an artistic expression) that had 2) mentally and physical drained me and which 3) literally could make or break things for me and the people who worked on it with me, I'd cry too. Crying isn't a sign of weakness; it's the body's basic method of stress-release. And I give him and GTChannel twice as much respect for not editing it out.

[ViscusDk]

thats amasing that build! Respect from denmark

[1337leetch]

sounds like a report over the American economy ;)

[superford500]

My heart would not handle the pressure! BIG respect to ppl who are so dedicated to different projects.

[daugbret]

What product did he say they used instead of paint? I'm really interested.

[fiddlercove]

1NZFB? VVTI? WTF?

[fiddlercove]

@freaklikethat over

[mrmojodadog]

First time i see someone cry over an iQ..

Anyways, got any news on the white iQ beside them? 3:43 Mean looking thing.

[the13joker]

thumbs up!!

[Az0ngl33]

umm...i want a true sports car not a mini-sized van! xb

[dweezlzor]

cliffhanger ending :(

[12389h]

I doesn't matter if it's in an Enzo or an IQ, passion makes things good.

[zohan1393]

GOOD WORK ! 

[Kyu1LL]

kudos to those gents. It's too often nowadays to find shops only in it to make a quick buck. Not that many tuners have heart and soul and pour it into their rides / their customers' rides.

[DONJUANDEYAB]

very very nice project!!

[DocWolph]

Real men cry when it "hurts". When you want something to happen so bad and it just isn't. That "hurts". I've been there and I'm not just saying that.

Carstuff:

Engines are getting too complicated when you can't just put it in and have it start reliably. I can't wait to see the car running. BTW, that's RMR made easy. DMC-12 gives fist-bump over the "paint job". Bare metal.

[turbo6shooter]

4:30 yeah baby!!! ITS ALIVE!!!

[scrustle]

Now that is true passion for cars right there! Trying against all the odds to create something that you have put part of yourself in to and trying to bring out the potential of a car that seems impossible.

[RICEFREAK]

WOW! To me, this car is more valuable than any car out there. The value of this car is priceless because of the time and passion that they put onto this car.

[CorsaAGSi]

Nice build.

[wooffyj]

FAIL

[cornholio114]

This car technically has an RR layout, not MR.

[nicowjensen]

@cornholio114 Would't the engine have to be behind the rear axle for it to be an RR?

[cornholio114]

@nicowjensen The engine is between the rear wheels, so its rear mounted. The engine would have to be mounted between the front and rear axles to be mid mounted (mid engine).

[veyronman]

@cornholio114 nope. MR.

[cornholio114]

@veyronman If its between the rear wheels, its rear mounted. If its between the front wheels, its front mounted. If its between the front and rear, its mid mounted.

[LS44mm]

Damn... It´s a lot, A LOT of work and man hours...

[LILMAYHAM]

Rims r cool



[mrphixxit71]

Now thats something I would buy!

[jackthestripperr]

This is really inspirational for me. Hope you guys keep it up. Cant wait to see it

[misterjimmy81]

I give these guys a lot of credit for doing the impossible. This is super tough to do a transformation in such a short time they had.

[digitalmana]

Can't wait to see what happens

[STONEYA2S]

Props to anyone who puts that much passion into what they love.

[Nibbz15]

Doesn't look 2 bad good work guys

[RelentlessRevolver7]

These guys worked hard.....on a pos scion.

[tweet2999]

A SCION? the deadline was not met & the car was not finished. However! Effort Blood Sweat & Tears (Literally), along with passion goes a long way in any ambitous Challange, Conratulations on getting the car to SEMA. A HUGE Challenge in its own right.

[trd88noz]

this year i skipped SEMA. wish i was there, so i could shake their hands and salute their hard work..

[boxinggrate]

Wish I had the money time and place for a project like this

[1234wilbur]

the love for build up mad props to you guys

[drdouche1]

I saw a talon on the lift ^___^

[2CrazEy1]

I wouldn't own an IQ, once you get into a crash whether or not it's your fault. DONE-zo

[PHY104]

fuel cell in the front! how great!

[lespaul9836]

amazing! we love you guys!

[oyurcha1]

Amazing!

If everyone was dedicated like you are to their job we would not be in the ressesion we are in now. Thank you.

[zek686jes]

Tears of frustration, I've been there... =/

[pdog67]

Looks nice I want one, how much?=)

[chaotic778]

touching video, and id rather drive an iq rather than a smart car

[dannyperez2k11]

@hernandadmx adampad82 is right, you are a douche.

[hernandadmx]

THat guys a fucking PUSSY lmao

[Turbochargesi]

@hernandadmx No, it's not being a pussy, your comment is actually pretty lame and not funny. It's having such a passion for this project with a DEAD LINE. It takes a lot of effort doing a build like this. Maybe one day when you build your own car like they did from starting with a shell, with hard labor and lots of custom work, you will understand that it gets emotional sometimes, not saying your going to cry but it does get emotional, next time you comment, think before you do, thanks.

[itubrrr]

@Turbochargesi its okay, he'll be fixing his skateboard the rest of his life.

[Turbochargesi]

@itubrrr lol

[superford500]

@Turbochargesi word

[adampad82]

@hernandadmx No, you're just a douche.

[hunterhartley583]

@hernandadmx fuck you, pussy. have you ever got blood and sweet into something? no

shut the fuck up

[krzfly]

@hernandadmx and that makes you a dinky little sissy bitch.

[ironz18]

Why were they PMSing to the point of crying in the first part of the vid? All joking aside,I can understand how can a project can sometimes be overwhelming and gets the best of anybody.

[Sleepe00]

thums uP for the Case of CORONA

[Lewis120993]

Now that is not my style of car at all, but it is how i wanna see them built! so much passion it's untrue!

[brandonsexywhitaker]

Lol at the dude crying.
