Who didn't see that oil mess coming? Did the guitar playing get on your nerves at all during filming?

I liked it but you should consider changing the title to reflect that it is part 2 on the end.

I would've killed that guitar guy if I was you lol. Great episode, I think if you guys were a bit more technical and explained all of the stuff in more detail it would've been very informative. I mean I know how to do all of it, but it would still be fun. That way you can teach other people on how to improve their car by DIY. Since I had to learn all of that stuff myself through trial and error, which was a PITA.
Btw, you should have replaced the accessory belt(or w/e that's called), I dunno if it improves performance but it would've helped the kid in the future.

The belt had been replaced at 100k, which was recommended we checked it and it didn't need replacing.

Totally different feel from G419 - I just re-watched a few episodes earlier today

You should have just shot the guitarist after the gag about him playing live was over. It REALLY started to sound annoying towards the end. Also, how come you didn't show the installation of the most important performance parts you bought, the neons and the ballin' skull gearknob?
