I am someone that has DCT(DSG) swapped an old car. Its easy to drive every day, But its pretty flat and boring around town. Just A-B isn't as fun anymore. On track? It's immensely fun! But I'm left wanting a little more day to day. Early Mk2 Golf. 1.9L 20 Valve turbo. Mk6 Ed35 gearbox. Wavetrac diff. Circa 400hp. Just for the record.

Man... I think I understand why youtubers/influencers work. As an audience, we just funnel money into them and live vicariously through them. Watching your guys' videos, I get so jealous. I have an absolutely clapped Miata that I got a year ago. I've been meaning to work on it, I was working on it for a good several months or so but was tired of seeing it on jack stands and now I'm too scared to put it back up. But I mean, more than that I'm just tired in general. Tired of work, tired of having to choose between spending time with my friends or my girlfriend. Having to choose between working on my project car or spending time with my friends. And when I work on my project car, I know it's just not a financially sound choice. Wasting hours on video games is way cheaper than fixing up the Miata. Life lately feels like a long list of procrastinations, unfulfilled dreams, and a lot of 'what ifs'. These videos are inspiring in way that makes me want to continue working on my car, but they're also sobering. I lack the expertise, the tools, the team, the... funds... I wonder if I'll own an RX7 one day.

@Magnosummit 24 күн бұрын
While it's not true to the rotary spirit of the car, I think Honda has some of the best balanced 4 cylinder motors, and wouldn't ever consider swapping an I6/V6 or bigger into the car. I feel like it would change the handling behavior too much, and well built K engines seem to be the sweet spot for power/reliability. I'm sure they come at a cost, though, looking at everything done to this one (not just the motor).

0:27 I have been summoned! If I were to get my hands on an FD without an engine, I would Volvo swap it. Namely a built 90s 5cylinder with ITBs. Maybe with the later six speed transmission, provided it is at all compatible. Suspension wise I would opt for yellow bilstein coilovers and V70R hubs and brakes, all with the purpose of putting on 17' Volvo Eudora wheels. I think those would look incredible on an FD. As for the exterior, I would go for a Mazdaspeed A-Spec kit… wherever the hell I would find one is beyond me though.
