Building a Ferrari Race Car in 30 minutes!

Here it is: the highlight reel, every step of the way. 2.5 years of work, and it’s finally “done” so it felt fitting to do a video like this.

finished watching this, immediately went out to the garage to start working on my car again. incredibly motivating. in awe of your skills and can only dream of producing something this high quality one day (both the video and the car, lol)

[@HaroldDickert]

I've just finished binge-watching the entire Ferrari series. This has got to be the most informative car series I've ever seen, and with out the ridiculous drama shown on so many car shows available on TV. I've been amazed at the level of detail, and quality of work. "Well done"! I was first drawn to this show in search of K20 / K24 info. I own a Acura RSX Type S that I purchased in January 2002. It would have been among the first batch of cars fresh off the boat to entire Canada. The bottom of the car is now totally rusted out with gaping holes in the unit body. The rest of the car, including the interior is near immaculate. I've keep it totally stock with Honda parts. Despite the rust, the car still kicks ass. But my mechanic is telling me "it's time". However, there are no cars available with this one's mix of Sport / Economy / Utility / Luxury, all depending on how you step on the go peddle. I already own the worlds best inline 4. Why would I want a new car? Even the new Integra does not fit the bill - being that it's just a rebranded Civic. In a perfect world, I'd be able to order a Carbon Fiber replacement body for the RSX, unbolt all the gear, and move it to the new one. Carbon components are already available, but when is someone going to supply the unit body? 3D printing is already here. The car manufactures could 3D anything. You'd think they would have Custom Shop manufacturing - similar to what you find in the guitar world (ya - I'm a custom guitar builder). And that's my rant. Once again, thanks for such a inspirational series.

[@panagiotiselsisi7752]

That was the best comment I read in a long time. If only we could have car series without the drama...Oh waIt! There is YT! F the streaming platforms!

[@cannaroe1213]

They want you to buy new cars silly. The only rational move is to hire a welder $5000 to patch it all up.

How much did this yellow car cost

[@josemariagonzalez8261]

Hola, chicos. Buenas noches desde España. (Spain). El coche ha quedado muy coqueto. Pero el resultado no es merecedor de destrozar estéticamente a un auténtico Ferrari. A un Ferrari, lo hay que reparar en un momento perjudicial para él, como es: un accidente..!!! Pero reparándolo y dejándolo tal y como estaba. Yo soy una persona dedicada a este mundo del automóvil; de los coches de edición limitada…, y como mucho les puedes cambiar de color, y poco más. Pero el paso a un coche tuneado, haciendo la competencia a los ingenieros de Ferrari. Que es el caso que nos ocupa… mejor dejarlo con su estructura original. Y no hacer un coche para “macarras”. Perdón si a alguien le he ofendido. Pero el coche mítico..!!! Ni se toca su estructura, ni su estética: De todos modos, me he quedado hasta el final para ver el cambio. Pero ese coche, ha cambiado y parecido a un Fiat 131 Abart. Por poner un ejemplo. Saludos ChemaGM

[@GrindhousePerformance]

Yea but he got a pristine ferrari and gutted it, that just feels painful

[@donPirata13]

I'm just an enthusiast, owner of a K20A car, and after following your build, I really think that the Honda guys as the Ferrari guys should be proud. You merged tow incredible engineering creations and merged them keeping the original idea behind them: effectivity, lightweight, ingenuity, precision, handcrafting... I'm clearly against of "raping old jewels to make tuned show-off cars" but I believe that this is not the case. you have made something that worth the pride of the parts you have used. Congrats.

[@desirabledrives44]

I've been watching this transformation for a while now. As someone who's recently partially pulled a car apart to respray it I'm in awe of the mental energy required to do what you've done in that time frame.

This vid just became my absolute favourite car build video. The process and transformation that the car went through was simply amazing. Hats off to you gents.

[@UnboundSpirit2]

WOW I am blown away.. I'm glad I discovered this video. As a mechanical engineering student I hope to one day even be close to assembling and fabbing up a bespoke car to race let alone drive at some point. This Honda powered Ferrari is incredible. Genius level fabrication and welding, that suspension is no joke. You must've racked your brain a million times trying to figure that out and then tuning it to put down 810WHP is insane. Mega congrats on the build hope to see more videos of you crushing it on track!!

[@Onlooker71]

I’ve watched from the start. One of the coolest builds in all of KZbin. I cannot wait to see footage of your race in Australia.

Why only 180k subs? This is the best build on all of KZbin! Excellent summary Mike, even having watched every episode so far, it's still easy to overlook just how much work was involved in the creating this car. Good luck in Australia. Looking forward to updates.... and to new projects (did I see the windscreen pillars of an Audi 90 outside?) 🙂

[@stanceworks]

Maybe someday the subs will take off! But I am happy knowing the ones I have are dedicated fans. Thanks so much!

Its hard to believe the subs have not jumped alot with this build. It brings in so many different ways to think about building a car. ie..Japanese, Italian, American!

I had a very basic 316, even then I loved it and wish I can one day get a nice version. I know people will hate this comment but I'd love to perform a EV conversion on it.

Absolutely stunning build, alot of amazing work done. I personally would have liked to have seen more original Ferrari features, wheels, body colour etc. But that won't take away from the great work, great filming and great outcome.

[@benledford2273]

thats exactly what i was thinking - Iim going to list what I would have changed: 1 -no role cage - just make re-inforced seats but leather. more daily driver friendly 2 -keep the dash. Even if he just went with carbon fiber 3 -keep the flip headlights but make them out of carbon fiber - LEDs 4 - reduce or even not even a spoiler as it interupts those beautiful ferrari penin ferina lines... thats the biggest thing...maybe he might change his mind because that car has lovely lines. 5- solid color even in the vents like white....or red!!! but the solid color would again bring out those lines 6- the wheels bother me - i kinda liked that gun metal color before he wrapped them. so that combined with ferrari red would just be cold!!! he did a great job and im just commenting - he really should just build his own brand of cars with the skills he has....like ferrari replicas or something....he does a great job - hats off to you sir

[@motorcyclerescuer]

@benledford2273 absolutely agree. I would have loved seeing a ferrari at the end of this build with that amazing engine.
