It has been about a year since I made any videos for my automotive youtube channel Drive Fast Not Loud and I’m getting a bit antsy. I’ve been encouraged by other local Youtubers to get back into the game but I’m having issues coming up with ideas.
Ideas so far:
Jag review/intro video “wow look at this crazy crap I’ve been working on”
clickbaity Miata review “BETTER THAN AN S2000?!” or something
Once I get a gopro that works with a helmet microphone I’d like to do an urban exploration/Wichita history tour thing on the CX500 (probably not till spring)
European V8 Swap Showdown with Hoovie and Apollo 911 (would need more content to establish myself a little before approaching him with this but he’s definitely down for collab videos)
Jag autocross video (??not sure what the gimmick here could really be other than “lol grand touring car killing cones”)
General project car updates. Once the Jag is running I’d like to do a video on the cheap visual mods I’m wanting to do. Hacking off the bumpers, putting a rally-style light cluster on it, number roundels, general XJS road rally style thing. Maybe a video on how to rattlecan touchup a bumper cover because that has gone so well for me in the past.
That’s about it. Unfortunately a few of those would need recording equipment I don’t yet have but hopefully this weekend or the next I can get started on knocking these out. Anyone have suggestions for me? Things you’d like to see?

How about all the buttons on a modern dashboard? WTF do they do and what makes the car the most fun?

Make a video on how the Honda is fast, not loud.
Wait a sec...

I think a lot of the project stuff, especially rebuilding the SBC, would get a lot of clicks. People like to see an “average Joe” (average Jake) doing stuff they think is beyond their skill set. Simple tutorials and even just a in depth tour of work you have done would be good youtube fodder.

Yeah I might grab the gopro and try to do a video this weekend when I fix the power steering and oil pan gasket.

The first one: Jag stuff. It’d make for a good “how (sometimes, “not”) to” SBC swap an old British car. Use it to get more viewers and build up some positive cred (and make the Jag reliable) before attempting the Euro V8 Swap Showdown.

Yeah, problem is most of the interesting stuff happened already but I might do some filming when I fix the oil pan since that will involve being under the car and give me a chance to walk through the conversion.
I’m also wanting to do “How to lower your motorcycle FOR FREE” because clickbait and also because it’s literally just “change the rear spring preload and then slide the triple tree down an equivalent amount as the rear spring length changed ok done” and a chance to introduce the motorcycle. Those will likely be my first two videos of the year.
I’d also like to do more reviews... start off with a MCM-reveal-video-style wide-aspect-ratio heavily-edited thing and then fade into more of an MCM-style thing with voiceover reviews and stuff. I think ThatDudeInBlue follows that sort of formula but I haven’t watched any of his videos in over a year so idk.
