Spirit R seats join Tj Hunt's long-running RX-7 project
Sabrina's Porsche gets new wheels, while longtime viewers ask for more road trips and time with the crew.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Is This My Worst Financial Decision?
The seats finally happened. After years of putting off the purchase, Tj Hunt has bought OEM Recaro Spirit R seats for his FD RX-7, giving "Is This My Worst Financial Decision?" a very specific enthusiast dilemma behind its title.
It is the fastest-moving of his three new uploads right now, though Monday's "I wasn't going to talk about this" has drawn the largest audience of the week, with roughly 428,000 views. That video's description brings the R34 back into the workshop conversation: following comments on its dyno outing, TJ picked up a different exhaust.
Underneath it, viewers are talking about more than parts. Requests for a Calvin dream-car build sit alongside memories of DIY installs in Calvin's garage. Others suggest road trips with Sabrina and the crew, car meets, and more opportunities to see the finished cars being enjoyed. The recurring request is for the people and journeys around the builds, not simply another modification.
"SURPRISING SABRINA WITH NEW WHEELS!" supplies another personal connection, with HRE wheels for her Porsche Carrera S. Between that surprise and the long-awaited RX-7 seats, this was a week of giving familiar cars something new rather than introducing another project.
Across the channel, weekly viewing came close to a million, while the subscriber count stayed unchanged. Daily views are currently below TJ's usual pace. His RX-7, meanwhile, has a particularly fitting place in the archive: "Building a Mazda Rx-7 in 10 Minutes!" remains his most-watched regular video, with more than five million views.

@darypalce6816See it on YouTubeLong time watcher (Nite Shade Taillights😂), first time commenter. I would totally go for a roadtrip series with the boys, shipping the cars to Europe or Japan and driving them around would be awesome.

@CapitoooSee it on YouTubeI dont watch every video, but I do watch. What keeps me coming back is how youre real in each video. The banter in the shop that you and the boys have reminds me of the banter that I have with my coworkers at the shop I work at. You are transparent and dont bs your audience. Youre good dawg, keep doing what youre doing!
@bear470See it on YouTubeSorry Teej, a little late to the video but I have been watching for about 10 years now. Its safe to say that Ive enjoyed watching your journey and Ive enjoyed every video from the very first one I watched to today.
Thanks for making content that I can sit back and relax too. Much Love@Brandon.SearcySee it on YouTubeI really love the more raw vlogs where you and Sabrina and the boys are hanging out just enjoying the day. They’re very relaxing. That said, you’re killin it Teej. Love it when you’re real and open with us too. Keep being real and we’ll keep watching!
