MattieFlips' supercar project starts with a Kia that won't move

Episode three brings seized wheels, an empty coolant reservoir and a lengthy interior cleanup to the Supercar From Scratch series.

Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:29Mattie introduces the immobilized auction car outside, wearing protective gear beside its contaminated seats.
  2. 5:35A booster pack and some alarm troubleshooting get the engine running.
  3. 8:51The combustion leak test passes, offering reassurance about the head gasket.
  4. 10:39The lift inspection reveals seized wheels, a damaged rear brake assembly and a loose tie rod.
  5. 16:01A pressure drop reveals a cooling-system leak beneath the front bumper.
  6. 17:35A radiator hose clamp snaps during removal; Mattie replaces it and checks the repair.

The auction Kia has to arrive on a tow truck. Its wheels are seized, the seats are filthy, and Mattie hasn't yet established whether the engine is worth saving. So much for an easy next step toward a supercar.

MattieFlips posted just one new video this week, "SUPERCAR FROM SCRATCH EP. 3! ($3000 KIA OPTIMA)", and it has reached nearly 200,000 views. The car's relatively modest mileage offers some encouragement, but the inspection quickly produces a workshop-sized to-do list.

There is good news beneath the grime. A combustion leak test passes, giving Mattie reassurance about the head gasket. A cooling-system pressure test then exposes a leak under the front bumper, where a hose clamp snaps during removal. The brakes are less forgiving: one rear caliper is rubbing directly against the rotor, and a loose tie rod adds another repair. The episode includes a paid Zocdoc segment.

Later chapters move into mold removal, deep-cleaning the seats and exterior repairs before the final test and sale. That cleanup is a particular talking point in the comments, alongside viewers' anticipation of the eventual supercar purchase. The attraction here isn't just finding a cheap car; it's seeing how much work stands between the auction and the next owner.

Across the channel, subscribers grew over the week, though daily views are a little below their usual level. The Daily Downshift also had a substantial week among nearby motoring channels, while Big Car was quieter. Mattie's strongest daily draw is currently the older "Can I Make Any Money Parting Out Cars? 🔥", with the Kia episode and the previous BMW installment keeping the Supercar From Scratch project active alongside it.
