Drift Power Wheels Mustang Stage 1

Upgrading the Power Wheels mustang to 24v! This is our Stage 1 build for more speed. It's not going to be your mom's Barbie Mustang when we are done with it. The stock wheels are perfect for a cheap drift car but the factory setup is a bit lacking if you weigh more than 50 pounds. Like other Barbie Jeep builds, these modifications are intended to carry a full size driver...because...I don't kno...
350Z Engine Swap
Просмотров 35 тыс.5 лет назад
Removing a VQ35DE engine for rebuilding and installing it back into a 350z. The engine spun a connecting rod bearing due to oil starvation so we pulled it and hauled it down to the machine shop. The FQ35DE has a history of high oil consumption and the dipstick is famously difficult to read. Let the oil level get too low and this is the problem that you are looking at. In this video we talk abou...
How to Remove Yamaha Jet Pump - Jet Ski Restoration Part 5
Просмотров 57 тыс.5 лет назад
Removing a jet pump from Yamaha Wave Raider 700. This jet pump was stuck to the jet ski. I had planned to replace the wear ring but the wear ring was stuck to the impeller and I ended up removing the entire jet pump assembly. We had a similar problem removing the jet pump from a Sea Doo in a previous video. This procedure is similar but I ended up breaking off some of the mounting bolts and had...
Installing Jet Ski Traction Mats

Jet ski restoration part 4: Installing traction mats over Plasti Dip paint. I experiment with a couple of ideas for how to install them with the rubber paint already on the ski. This is not a recommended procedure but the paint was already down when these free mats arrived so I went ahead and put them to use. Time will tell how this holds up but it looks sooooo good. To be clear: Hydro-Turf pro...

Plasti Dipped Jet Ski

The project Yamaha Wave Raider gets a fresh look thanks to Plasti Dip. I wanted to try this product for the jet ski restoration and the folks at Performix (the makers of Plasti Dip) stepped up with some free samples. It goes on differently from other paints and the surface finish had a unique look and feel. Product features: Air-dry specialty rubber coating Like spray paint but way better Oh, d...
Jet Ski Restoration: Part 2

Restoration of a 1995 Yamaha Wave Raider. In this episode we remove the original vinyl graphics using a heat gun, razor blade and solvent. Then we try a 3M eraser wheel to remove graphics. We also clean out the bilge with Super Clean, getting it, well...super clean. Important note: the eraser wheel is not the same thing as a Magic Eraser. Just sayin'.
Jet Ski Restoration

This 1995 Yamaha Wave Raider 700 needs some serious restoration. We start with the body and plastic trim parts which have seen better days. The plastics are oxidized and crunchy and I show you how to remove the cracked and faded outer surface to restore the original color. This video is step one of a restoration that will give this jet ski a complete new look including a color change. We also h...
SeaDoo XP vs Spark
Просмотров 37 тыс.6 лет назад
SeaDoo Spark product review...of sorts. I compare the 2018 Sea Doo Spark to the 1996 Sea Doo XP. These are two affordable jet skis from two completely different era. In its day, the XP was one of the fastest, best maneuvering Personal Watercraft (before they even called them PWCs) on the market. The Spark is one of the top entry-level jet skis, priced to make high performance affordable for new...

How to Replace Jet Ski Seat Cover

How to reupholster the seat on a jet ski. I replaced the vinyl seat cover on a couple of SeaDoo projects and a few subscribers have asked me about how to do that. So here's a quick montage that shows the process. Notice the condition of the foam of both of these seats. This is typical for a jet skit that has been sitting outside near the water for 25 years. Don't panic if you remove the old vin...

Nice job gave e some ideas for my 1999 seadoo
Go for it!
I can not believe how big the pump shoe is 🤯🤯
how's the view? it's viewing
Bet that impeller works it's way off. 120ft lbs my guy
I'm gonna do mine today. You're video gave me some good pointers! Thanks
Go for it!
Did you paint the seat???
Nope. Just a cheap piece of marine vinyl from the local fabric store.
Not much to stop it…..!!
Which would you own if you already had a b1 Blaster?? The Spark?
I was on the fence, but this video convinced me to get one from Harbor Freight. 👍🏻
Bad A! Those are exactly the same parts I was thinking about wrapping!
Great video
your friend is quite annoying
Thank you. We love him too!!
How about if you get a B-1655 lock out code? And how do you clear the code? (2005 GTX)

You are simply as retarded as I am bro, good stuff 😂
I love the orange! This is the best session I've found to try on my GTi. I'm going over this evening after work and get it tested.
Good luck! I see variations on the design from time to time and some of them are way better than my attempt. Would love to see how yours turns out!
Nice
Anyone have the file handy?
Nice job 👏
does it work the same way w a seat that has 3 dif levels tho?
Some of the 3 step seats come in 2 pieces so, yes, you can cut and staple each separately. As long as the seat step isn't too angular I think you could stretch the fabric to conform with the profile. If not, you can order custom vinyl that is sew to fit perfectly. Check my videos for an example of how this worked out on a large SeaDoo using HydroTurf's custom-fitted seat covers.
Love the orange!
You didn’t remove the old vinyl
If the old vinly isn't too torn up, you may be able to get away with just re-covering it. More than a few times I have removed the seat cover to find another old one beneath it.
Steve, where can I buy the black cover for the seat? can you leave the link so that I can buy it?
Got mine from JoAnn Fabrics. Just went to the local store and bought it off the roll. Get marine vinyl in whatever color you like. It's super cheap.
Thanks....
I'm speechless because in Argentina a simply and basic Sea-Doo Sp 95 cost 4000 thousand dollars yes you are reading fine .. 4000
Love the orange
Awesome and inspiring. I have two 1999 Sea Doo GTXs - live in Arizona and the sun has taken it's toll on existing maroon. I love recovering my household kitchen chairs and bar stools, etc., so off I am to try to find some TAN colored marine vinyl fabric - will go nicely with maroon body parts but be less hot and weather better. Cheers.
Hi Steve, My tip of the day for removing the old sticker adhesive. Way better than Goof Off. For many, many, many years I have used Mineral spirits. Loosens up the glue after letting it soak for about 15 minutes. The glue rolls off and does not harm painted surfaces. also, freshens up the gel coat. Mineral spirits are cheap by the gallon at the big box stores. You'll thank me later...
I'll thank you now, actually!
@@StevenVigus Hello Steven, Thanks for agreeing, I have videos on the subject. Thanks pal!
hey steve! love your videos on jetski restorations! I hope all is well and you and your family are doing great. Hope to maybe see you back on here soon!
Thank you so much. I hope to be back soon.
Please ..... no 'music'.
Is this plastic hdpe like sled ski skins?
This is why you should use welding cable and adhesive lined heat shrinks on connections like we use in water well. The connections will last forever and never let moisture in the wire. And welding cable is rated for hot, cold, wet, abrasion and transfers power better many fine strands ofc of course.
Go vols
I'm think, man these guys are dangerous. Then I see the kid at the end with crutches. Good job on the dock, and enjoy the water.

What chemical did u use to clean it dam
Bro great video! What did you use to prep and paint the handlebar rubber pad? Thanks!
I felt like I was there with you. Thank you.
Nice video try slipping the serpentine belt off the smooth pulley not one with ridges or a side make it even easier
2 stroke, get rid of grey fuel lines and convert to pre-mix
❤️👍 I just learned this the hard way 😭
From what you remember Would you say it’s easier to pull entire engine or swap top end while leaving in ski? Scenario Have complete runnning replacement Current motor 1 cylinder no compression/ other down to 100 It was run on straight gas (OOPS) 😢
That color would be invisible some days on my local lake and others would contrast against the brown perfectly Lol
Go find a 98-02 XPL and that’ll trounce a Spark with major smileage
where do you find those cheap bikes i am searching for days
I was riding my 2004 seadoo 3d in full power minutes later slow down and won’t start again. My battery is 9/22 just bought it 7 days ago. Idk what to do
Thank you makes sense now lol
Got a question for ya. My ski wouldn’t crank or nothing so I replaced the solenoid, cause when I opened the box it was all corroded and rusty but after I swapped the new one nothing changed, tried jumping the solenoid and it started to crank over, pulled my starter and tested it it works fine. Could it possible be my start stop switch, some of the connections in the box look corroded but I wouldn’t think there corroded enough to make it not start, also changed all my leads from the starter to box and the ground and positive to the battery.
5 years later and still love the orange!! great video guys!!
