    Anybody a fan of Donut Media? They did a set of Youtube videos last year on spending more money on one Nissan 350z (Hi Car) and less money on another 350z (Low Car) and compared them in different tests.

    Here's last season:

    Well for season 2 they're doing it for 1st Gens! Which is surprising since the rage is 2nd and 3rd gens but I guess from a price point 1st Gens are cheaper. Regardless I'm super pumped to see what mods they end up doing and to see how they turn out over the course of the next few weeks.

    I'll post the videos weekly if I can remember to do so and the first one comes out August 1st. I also can't be the only Donut Media fan on TW so check them out, they have a good mix of videos.

    Can't wait to see what is on in their "hi" vs their "low" trucks. I'm sure that'll ruffle some feathers.

    Awesome! They've been hinting at it for a while and I've seen some first gens lurking in the back of their videos. Looking forward to the series.

    I definitely see spacers and blocks on the low car. Maybe a set of Rancho shocks on some no name A/T tire Lol

    Hi car getting Kings or Fox setups with res. Guarantee Hi car is using KO2 tires because they're BRO tires.

    Well, apparently I’ve been pronouncing “Bilstein” wrong all these years.

    They should have driven washboards or whooped out roads.
