... and now I'm shipping the K24-Swapped Ferrari across the world.

[@catfish1293]

Whenever you do track testing, please use a POV camera on the car. That's the best part of track videos and so many youtubers forget them! So excited to see what happens next

[@Qthefun]

I concur

[@bob19777]

The videos from the m3 e30 on the track that he did was perfect, I expect no less

[@skiapex]

Seeing yellow in the old footage this car needs to be fully yellow. Brings out the body lines so well

[@OddBawZ]

I love that a new chapter has started on this! I can't wait to see this Premier in literally the most ridiculous race on the planet on its FIRST race, too!

[@Ameritude]

Somebody got early vid access 👀

[@alexraper3921]

Hello oddbawz good to see ya also enjoy some car content. The grind never stops

[@clubsport9334]

Maaaate this is the best news ever! See ya down under! 🇦🇺🏁

[@darkchildind90]

Liking the build, love that you're going to Australia for the World Time Attack. My only gripe is with the idea that people think cages on the street are bad. I think it needs to be more like "Poorly fitted cages on the street are bad". Only reason I say this is me and my brother are still here after a cage and subframe connectors helped keep a speeding SUV out of the interior compartment on my old Dart. That cage was like how you're doing it where maximum head room is a must. Lead Paramedic and firefighter both said the cage and subframe connectors were the only reason we were alive. Just throwing that out there. Love everything else you're doing, can't wait for the next episode.

[@Kneedragon1962]

Australian long time viewer here, never commented, but ~ "G'day mate! Welcome to the great down-under!" Seriously, I have been following this and some of your other creations for some time. I don't know that I could make it to Sydney from Brisbane to cheer, but I will be there in spirit and following your shake-down and initial testing on the world stage with great interest. I wish you the very best of Aussie luck.

[@dirtyharrie]

Wow, can't wait to see the 244 ripping around a track down under 🙌🏻

[@protodad1]

Awesome. Can’t wait to see the Ferrari hit the track. TA is such an underrated sport. Sure it’s not wheel to wheel, but the idea of drag racing around a track in “street” cars where people can go crazy just ticks all the boxes.

[@holidayminkey]

Great news… I was late to the party on this channel, so the car was already half done. But followed ever since. Having done some amateur club racing years ago, I will say this… Whatever happens at Time Attack, and we all hope you don’t!! But if you blow it up, bend it, burn it, roll it. You MUST remember that you achieved a goal that you set out from the start. The time doesn’t matter, the condition of the car when you’ve finished doesn’t matter. The achievement does. To do 99% of this build and still put videos together to keep us all entertained is an achievement in itself. If the car doesn’t even run when you get there… Remember, you got there!!! That said, If you don’t come back with some kind of trophy, we don’t like you any more! :o) Wishing you all the good luck with the schedule, getting there and running well. Go get ‘em…

[@shirtz69r]

Looking forward to having you here buddy.

[@ericjohnson2335]

That's an awesome opportunity for you and the car. Best of luck. You can do it.

[@RogueViirus12]

This an absolutely fantastic opportunity Mike! Time crunch is gonna be killer though. Hopefully you can get everything buttoned up and get plenty of track time under your belt to boot. Can't wait to see the footage of it in Australia!

[@carbonfiber8071]

Awesome invitation. Good luck and have fun man. Building is fun but driving is why we do it.

[@gripautotimepieces]

How sweet! Great to have you down here

[@georgedreisch2662]

Sounds like your original program of methodical testing and development is in crapper. Glad to see you’re realistic in recognizing the limitations and expectations you’re going to face. Way happy for your getting the invite to such a prestigious event and best wishes in the endeavor. Im hoping for A LOT OF CONTENT, of your experience, but, also understand that video content may fall through the holes, for such a thrash.

[@salamander5703]

Another rule semantics argument - it says you have to retain the original shock towers. It doesn't say you have to use them! Or even have them fitted to the car if we're really splitting hairs, just retain them somewhere!

[@globaltripping3654]

OMG I’ve been watching this build thinking I’m never going to see the best build on the internet in person and now I can!!! This is awesome. Please bring a heap of merchandise

[@JLewisRacing927]

WTAC truly is world class, miles above SLB. Happy to see you going! Grab a cambox for helmet pov!

[@brianb6507]

Your dedication and hard work has paid off in spades! This is a testament to your build, your character and your quality of work and your channel. Congratulations! Well deserved

[@Uber_Steve_Confessions]

Absolutely awesome! I never thought I'd get the opportunity to see this beast in the flesh from the land of Oz, so I'll be there to see it!!

[@lufo5]

find a goal to finish this project is a win-win even for us!👍

[@intrepidrouge]

That is an awesome opportunity - well done! Make sure you take it and prepare well enough - hit the track a half dozen times at least and drive representative lap times (not little 3/4 throttle squirts on straights). You see so many youtubers turn up with their passion projects totally unprepared for the task at hand. The world will be watching. I hope you do yourself proud.

[@dra911]

This has turned out to be one of the best KZbin builds. Nothing like a bit of pressure (deadline) to bring out the best in you - it'll be awesome to see this thing going around a track!

[@J_Bwn]

I think it’s a great place to test it out for the first time. The Aussies are cool people and definitely motor heads. You’re going to have a great time.

[@leonlb7263]

5:16 I really like the DTM inspired poster, but as a German fellow, I should point out that there is a slight Misspelling. Correctly it should say "deutsche tourenwagEn meistersChaft". Never the less it looks quite cool❤

[@dean9316]

So stoked of the possibility of seeing this thing in person in Aus

[@thejohnnybob]

Maaaaaaannnnnn. So excited for you! Whatever position you end up in on the leaderboard, you'll never regret pushing to get there if only for the experience and the bragging rights.

[@chemapc]

This is officially the coolest car project in YT. That's all I have to say. ❤ from 🇪🇸 🇪🇸 🇪🇸

[@chesspiece81]

Learning how to play within the "spirit" of the rules is what makes racing so great.

[@kimmyrask7368]

Such a cool thing to do! I smell collab with MCM and The Skid Factory👌🏻

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Awesome mate. Hopefully I'll see you there. I live 20min from the track. Watching from Sydney, Australia

[@rossdelaney]

Raging! Booked a trip to LA for 20th September hoping to pop in an see the car! Stoked for you on the opportunity though, best of luck!

[@claytoncausey5792]

Bought a shirt before seeing the video, so happy to finally financially support the channel as I have been following the channel since before the Ferrari was introduced. Your fabrication skills are admirable and I hope to try building my own skills on projects soon.

[@redporschekilla]

Mike, I joined you as a sub on that very first episode. YT had this clip as a recommendation and being a bonafide car guy reading a KSwap Wide body Ferrari? That sounded awesome. I’m a TOTAL SUCKER for wide bodies…. Now seeing you grinning from check to check telling us, you’ll make it to the time attack World Series, fells like me watching my boy going for his first tournament…. Man I’m so proud and happy for you, so well deserved!

[@gabrielhonorio1020]

maaannn thats so awesome! Cant wait to see all the upgrades coming together and then finally see this beast on the track

[@Custmhaus]

This is incredible news! Can’t wait to see this awesome build in person and definitely bring some merch with you as a lot of people will buy it track side 🙌🏼

[@shawncoetzee2431]

I cannot wait to see this car in real life. I have just moved to Sydney from Johannesburg, so now I have an extra item on my ‘to-do’ list for my first year here. Good luck Mike

[@AllWheelTv]

I’m going to be there so I’m looking forward to seeing it in person after following along since the beginning, while taking inspiration and tips along the way on my own k24 turbo swapped mk1 cabriolet golf.

[@christopherbellisario9195]

Can't wait to see the Ferrari in action!

[@1991CALYPSO]

Mike, I'm late to the party on this build but I've spent the past month when I had time just watching all the videos in order of the build of this car. It's truly awesome what you've done with it. It's turned out great thus far. I'm really looking forward to what you do with the Audi as well as I'm an even bigger fan of those cars. Your video work is great as well. In a world of car youtubers chasing clout on constantly buying cars to get views your channel is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work.

[@ThatMetalheadguy666]

Congrats dude! As a fellow subscriber/viewer from down under, I'm really excited for you dude and can't wait to possibly see this car in person!

[@Jgpaintco]

Thank YOU for mentioning the dangers of roll bars on the street. I raced for a long time and I’ve seen alot

[@stuhill9500]

Wow, you deserve this fabulous opportunity, Mike. Good on the boys at Haltech for helping. Check the class tire rules ASAP.. You may need to source slightly differently dimensioned wheels and we all know the lead time issues on them these days!

[@alansmith7121]

Congrats man! Cannot wait to see that footage! Thank you for the content

[@josephmatuszak3855]

That's a lil ways from home! Knocking on wood and crossing fingers for ya! GL!!!

[@marvsbazaar]

I live 15 minutes from Sydney Motorsport Park, but ive never made it out to WTA. Looks like 2023 will finally be the year!

[@jasonscherf7553]

What an amazing opportunity and disaster at the same time! I hope people understand just how much difficulty you're going to have to conquer trying to have a channel, run a business, and make this deadline. Much respect. 👍🤬🔥

[@tollefreyerson6710]

Wow!! So freaking cool!! Australia here you cometh!!!!

[@JDQproducciones]

*makes the best episode ever "I know nothing actually happened on this episode" loving the proyect, best of luck getting the car ready, that's always a race before the race

[@M3hammerdown]

This project has been amazing to watch.The results are gorgeous and fascinating.But can we see the darn car drive already!

[@Sonofthestig01]

I’ve been umming and ahhing about making my way up to sydney for WTAC but I think this might be the kick I need to make the trip. Been watching from the beginning, I can’t miss the chance to see the car in person!

[@woznaldo]

This is epic news! I’m a Sydney local and was always going to WTAC but, now I’ve got even more to look forward to! It’s a great event with a real club feel despite its prestige. I’ll get myself to the merch shop now to hopefully help out in some small way. Epic opportunity The Aus Haltech team are awesome people and genuine car nuts. Best news in a while!

[@wheels.3239]

Love this build. Scotty from Haltech is considered a tuning God here in Oz, Please do a special episode if he tunes this.

[@rjnation5042]

Hell yeah big fella, will be great to see you & the car down here, Rj in Oz

[@TheMultiDouche]

Oh this is great news. We don’t get to see enough of the cool things built on KZbin out here.

[@911CARRILLO]

Wow! This channel just got even better..can't wait to see it in STRAYA! cheers everyone.

[@anthonybolic1428]

This is the greatest news to wake up to on a Saturday morning in Australia 🇦🇺 can’t wait to see it in person

[@IS300driver26]

This is pretty awesome!! As soon as you said you had merch I had to pause the video and go order some!!

[@MattPratt]

Good stuff mate! I guess this means no Colorado trip this year. Still hoping for a video of last years. Just ordered some merch knowing how expensive that trip is.

[@JCoActual]

Super stoked for you man! Again if you need a tire warmer....haha

[@AlteredCarbons]

1:14 damn... i forgot how CLEAN that was before ya started tearing it apart. that interior was minty looking. dated, but minty. i still like the current car.

[@cameroncmuller]

Yasssssss! Can't believe you're coming down under!!!! I will definitely make the trip from Brissy to see the car in action!

[@drewvalenzano746]

That’s the quickest I’ve ever gone from watching a video to ordering a shirt. Another to add to the collection! So excited to see this car rip around Australia

[@shafferjoe1962]

Congratulations Mike, you will make this happen and us fans are along for the ride. Win, lose or draw its still a cool thing to get to do. Just go have fun...

[@ironmonkey1512]

You got your work cut out for you getting it ready... congrats!

[@ashishpatel350]

really hope you film the Australia trip.

[@BillRyan]

What a ride this is going to be!!! So happy for you Mike!!! Let's do this!! Oh - bought some great merch from your website today as well!!!

[@plmarshall30]

Just ordered a sweatshirt because I think the rain up here in the SF bay area will never stop! Enjoy your channel as always!! Super pumped to see what comes of the global time attack. I can bet when the car is in a container on a ship, you'll be tracking it multiple times a day, I would!

[@benzina5917]

Absolutely fantastic news. See if the boat can detour to Suzuka for a pre-event test :)

[@GT350RRR]

Frankly, this is exactly what you needed. Congrats.

[@BPBomber]

I can’t get enough of this build.

[@haltech]

Can't wait to see the beast in action at WTAC!!!

[@anthonymiller4004]

Woohoo - have been following the build from the start. Wow pumped - Based in Sydney so already counting the days until I get to see this beauty in the flesh!

[@angeloah]

Hells yeah Mike. This is such a dream, I am stoked to see where you are headed, great work. Now to buy some merch.

[@AlteredCarbons]

dawg, i can not wait to see this. i love the WTAC, there was a time before my diabetus took a turn for the worse i wanted to build s time attack car. but that means up rooting and moving and thats just not feasible any more. so i cant wait to watch ya do this man

[@johnwarren4217]

Dude. I'm so happy for you getting such a rad opportunity, I'll definitely be there to see and hear the 244gtk ripping around SMSP !

[@rpiresleite]

Congratulations man!! This will be EPIC!

[@BPBomber]

Would love to see a StanceWorks / MCM crossover!

[@MrFatalZero]

Yes!! And Skid Factory!!!!!

[@BPBomber]

@@MrFatalZero Yes!!! 🙌🏻

[@enricomichaels667]

Love the way u explain everything... sounds like something that needs to be in the Bible... much Luv from Cape Town south Africa

[@functionSam]

Congratulations Mike! Also the interpretation of the rules? It's our secret, pinkie promise!

[@sortsnakeksperiment]

NIce, new episode, thanks Mike!

[@Matty.Hill_87]

This is huge, congratulations on the invite mate

[@capnthepeafarmer]

That's an amazing opportunity, Mike! I wouldn't have hesitated to the chance either! Even if it is halfway around the world!

[@jamestarver]

Awesome news man, this should be fun to watch!

[@IJ-E36]

Great news, if it goes ahead I'll make the trip to Sydney to see the car in person!

[@garagecedric]

This is crazy, if it was 2024 it would be fairly reasonable, but 2023, wow..This will be awesome to follow, its such a cool event!

[@tactix101]

the weight vs the stiffness a full cage is going to give you is a trade off i would always be glad to take

[@p.e.r.c.y]

Might have to make a trip to Sydney to see it in person

[@matthewt5481]

Awesome - I’m so pumped that I’ll get to see this car in person at WTAC! Make sure you bring some merch along as Haltech will have a booth selling gear and you already sold out of those awesome Pursuit of Process shirts in medium ha ha😅

[@essenceofsias]

Wow, what an opportunity. You really need to get to the track ASAP if you want to put in a decent time!

[@stevenpavan327]

Dude, add a removable black plate above the exhaust so you can protect the paint!

[@tseesinnep3r]

There was all sorts of cars I wanted to see at Time Attack, now this one just took the cake, will definitely come and say hi!

[@georgeleffler]

How amazing, best of luck on this journey! Shirt ordered, great designs.

[@fredstarr9690]

Give em' hell kid!!! Coming from a guy with over 30 years experience building and repairing cars, you did an incredible job building that car!!! Get it out there and let it rip!!! I had a 1980 308 GTSi a few years back, I loved the car but it was untrustworthy and under powered. If I ever do another one I would look to put a VW Gulf GTI motor in it. Love the Honda turbo swap though, I may have to buy some merch.

[@Willdrknght]

Sick !!! I never thought I’d see this car in person . Well merch time it is , to help you finish and get here lol ! See you at WTAC ✌🏻

[@nickalderman5943]

I have a feeling a G35 turbo will make this thing insanely fun to drive. Hope you already have a turbo on the way & are getting the cage worked out, that seems like the bit that could be the biggest time eater barring retune and supply chain snafus.

[@daveclarke4246]

Mate.....HUGE news, freaking brilliant Looking forward to seeing you Down Under.

[@NoClassic]

It would be interesting to hear more about preparing the car for transport. Some weird stuff seems to happen to things on boats and in port when traveling that distance.

[@bradpwnz]

Hell yeah! I’m even more stoked to be going to WTAC this year!

[@whos-your-mate]

I have really enjoyed watching this build and cannot wait to see it thrashed on track 💪👌🤘 Also, thank you Haltech 👍
