Thank you for being so honest and vurnerable in the video ben. It shows us that you are passionate about the car and how your KZbin audience responds to it. As a mental health researcher I can honestly tell you that feeling the stress and related emotions are totally normal considering the time and monetary investments you have made into the FD. I would recommend diaphramatic breathing and meditation as ways to Best manage your stress and emotions. Best of luck on this build can't wait to see the outcome!

[@GearsandGasoline]

I read your whole comment and I was like, wow, this is really thoughtful and insightful, seems like good advice. Then I saw your handle is "d piddy". I love the internet.

[@twan102000]

@@GearsandGasoline I'm a disabled former master tech, the stress can consume you if you don't recognize it and cope properly. I think we have a tendency to get cought up in our " Dream Boats". As awesome as they may be, don't forget that when all is said and done its about the memories and fun, the ride is just a pile of metal and plastic. This mindset will help if you ever "wad it up". Safety is of course paramount. d piddy is spot on, breathe deep and often, with enough meditation all answers can be found. Finally, thanks so much for what and how you guys do it-- it keeps my dreams alive- I haven't been able to turn a wheel in over five years, but i still have hope!

[@rcravincase]

A big burnout also helps

[@caglioso]

Very good advice. As a therapist I’d add to invest in a cbt workbook or even look into cbt-based counseling; which can really help anxieties such as these aka “perfection” or “maintenance” anxieties. Stay well.

[@twan102000]

@@caglioso Definitely, I've had good luck with biofeedback as well. I use a finger pulse ox meter with the waveform display - cheap, simple and it works well.

[@Eelgnotsa]

I understand the car and whites the way it is there’s nothing stressful about it to me I enjoy it and I do what’s required pay attention to the Oil etc.. of course it’s not my daily driver

[@24sevenracing]

@@Eelgnotsa I guess it isn’t a “hop in and go” type of car for me anymore. I think I just have the amount of time / money / effort put into it that it’s emotionally taxing for me to think of anything happening to it. I have to have the route planned out so I know where the steep driveways are or any speed bumps. Having a close call with someone in a parking lot is not an option lol Plus I have neighbors to think about so I don’t like to start it up too early in the morning. I mostly save it for the track now and I’m always changing stuff or have new mods or adjustments to feel out, so it’s always like WhAt WaS tHaT sOuNd? Or is it idling rougher now than it was before that run? Or is there more in the catch can than normal? 🧐🧐🧐🧐 So yeah, fun but stressful.

[@bigtimegambler5858]

@@24sevenracing tune out the strange noises. As you've experienced, its tough to enjoy a car when all the minute sounds are top of mind. I think it comes down to trust. Trust that your machine will do its best for you, and trust that if there are any issues that do arise, you will be able to handle them. I own a 1998 Version 5 STI which is also known for reliability issues. Before I used to stress, but then I realized all my extensive maintenance and care (warming up the engine, staying below 3k when the engine is cold, turbo timing etc), is enough to trust in it. People around me in the JDM Subaru scene complain about reliability all the time, yet I have put 55000km + on my car without hiccup, sans a cracked upper rad hose.

[@DownstreamV]

been there and done that with the stress part and everything needing to be perfect. With my health issues you realize nothing else matters except family and health. Your car looks awesome and will be awesome, enjoy it brother you deserve it!

[@alexe7467]

I think it's totally normal to feel stress about keeping a car clean and nice, especially when the car is really, truly clean and nice. That little outro speech shows that you really feel passion and love for your car, and that's probably the reaction 99% of us would have, if given the chance to build our dream cars exactly the way we wanted. I know I was stressed when I bought my car, and it's nowhere near how cool this is. Just keep doing what you do. Love the vids and can't wait to see what's coming for this one!

[@JS-zy6fv]

It’s your car, that you’ve dreamt about for over a decade. Build it the way you dreamt of in those 10 years, without compromising your vision to the taste of others. Don’t think of what happens in the future if something bad happens with the car, instead focus on enjoying and making memories with it now in the present as you have done with the other cars you have owned. After all, it’s what your channel has inspired me and countless others to do with our own cars; keep up the inspiring work!

[@spazda_mx5]

@10:22 I think it is worth pointing out that HSD coilovers are not some cheap ebay brand.

[@Loud_ISF]

I’m currently in the same boat as you, Ben. My Lexus IS300 has been the epitome of what my dream car has been about. But now since I’ve thrown a second transmission in it, I’ve been through so much trauma, and I’m happy to even be driving it this time, even if I’m missing a 5th gear. I’m on to transmission 3, Genuine TRD Altezza Bumper, Vertex Fenders. It scares me. But at the same time, I love it so much, I fear of having to let it go someday if anything were to happen. My advice : Cherish your car as it is, and as you go. And the more mistakes you make, or the more you work on it, the better you will be at being able to take care of it, and improve on your handiwork over time. Learn how to better care for it as it cares for you too. An enthusiast ownership is a relationship between a driver and his car. And I see nothing stopping us from achieving our dreams. Continue to grow, I’ll keep watching.

I know this is long after the video but I truly understand the stress part. I recently obtained a dream car I never thought I’d have the opportunity to own, and man the first 6 months I was so anxious about every imperfection and worried about driving it hard. It just takes time to realize your car is YOURS and treat it how you want to. And most importantly, drive your car!

Thanks Ben for being open and honest about your feelings there at the end. This is how most enthusiasts feel and it's great to hear it from you because we've never heard it anywhere else. Stay safe bro!

[@mikemclean1511]

I kinda cried when you gave that speech at the end about being stressed after accomplishing your goal because I’m about to go through a similar thing with my 99 mustang. It ain’t my dream car, but I have big plans for it. Great video guys.

I dont care for rotory's but im glad he didn't put a LS in it

Must suck to have more power, more reliability, all for cheaper with easier access to parts huh?

@@marquisethomas5611 People always say it's overdone, but realistically how many LS swaps have you seen in real life? Just because more than a few people post their builds online doesn't mean that every car on the road is LS swapped.

It’s amazing man, you are living the dream of a lot of people, I think you’re doing an amazing job at it.

For automotive entertainment purposes, don't stress about what the viewers will think. Us car enthusiasts will respect and love one's childhood dream build in all shapes of forms. I love your car and keep up the great content. 👏

[@arrivendrive6831]

Great video man. I have owned my fd since 98 and I understand all those emotions you are feeling. There will be some lows but the highs are so high that you will love being a fd owner. It is your car and it looks great. My rx7 is a little more oemish on the outside but this is your car. Drive it and remember a rotary should get red lined every once and a while. The only thing I am not sure about is that synthetic oil. I have always 20w50. Also always premix. I have the oem metering pump so I do .50 once per every gallon. P.s dont believe those fake reports of rotarys being unreliable. Continue good maintenance and you will have no problems

Congrats tall Ben, love how the FD looks with the new mods!
