Whoa! 

Watching Wheeler Dealers tonight (dont judge me) and at every ad break there is an ad for the new Mighty Car Mods show! They now have a gig on Foxtel! It looks kinda stupid and kinda funny. I was never a watcher of their Youtube films so I don't know what to expect.

Thats crazy. Well done to them!

Other than money, I would think going to TV would only degrade their work. There's a whole range of executive influence over your work, to make it appeal to a wider audience (at least in their eyes), or make it "family friendly". Marty and Moog have their own vibe and I would hate to see it turned into something fake.

They're not going to have any "executive influence" over their work.

They will continue on YouTube as they always have. Discovery will only be showing specials that are already available on Youtube. I believe they will be also shown on some airline flights. Nothing will change from their current format, they will just be able to expand their audience.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
