In this exhilarating episode from the DailyDrivenExotics channel, the petrolhead team at DDE HQ is in full swing, embarking on a day filled with automotive adventures. Their mission begins with the arrival of a new vehicle at the shop, but first, they must make room by shuffling the Lamborghini Squadra Corsa and the Evo2 out of the way. With the path cleared, they hop into the trusty van to pick up the flywheel and clutch for the mighty F12. These crucial components have been expertly crafted and are ready for installation.
Their journey takes them to Metal Supply, where they procure some sheet metal and plate for future fabrication work. The team then makes their way to Osco, eagerly anticipating the arrival of a custom-designed part for their car. The excitement is palpable as they unveil the new flywheel, which is significantly lighter than its predecessor. This weight reduction promises faster revs and greater control, essential for the power-hungry F12.
Back at the DDE HQ, the F30 takes center stage as they unload it from the trailer. This trusty machine is about to undergo an engine swap, as the current powerplant has met an untimely demise. The team plans to dissect the engine, uncovering the cause of its failure, and replace it with a fresh heart. The ultimate goal is to transform this car into a competition-style drift machine, teaching the one and only Damon how to properly slide around corners.
The decision to use the F30 as a teaching tool stems from the team's desire to provide Damon with ample seat time and a solid foundation before he tackles the formidable F12. With a tuned output of around 600 horsepower, the F30 will offer the perfect balance of power and control, allowing Damon to master the art of drifting without overwhelming him. It's a clever strategy that ensures he can fully appreciate the beastly nature of the F12 when the time comes.
As the day progresses, the team splits their focus. While some members dive into the intricate details of the F12's fabrication work, others embark on the thrilling task of rebuilding the F30's engine. The anticipation builds as they document the entire process on their Stories Channel, giving fans an up-close and personal look at the blood, sweat, and tears that go into creating these automotive masterpieces.
With the bell housing still in the works, the team faces a slight setback. This critical component must be perfectly aligned to avoid any vibrations or damage to the transmission and engine. However, they remain undeterred, eagerly awaiting its completion so they can continue their fabrication work on the F12.
In true DailyDrivenExotics fashion, this episode is a testament to their unwavering dedication and passion for all things automotive. From the thrill of unloading a new vehicle to the meticulous craftsmanship required for engine swaps and fabrication, the team's enthusiasm is contagious. With each passing moment, they inch closer to unleashing the full potential of their machines, leaving us eagerly awaiting the next chapter in their exhilarating journey.
