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.

I saw all your episodes but after seeing this i realized how much work you put in. This build is next level sir, very well done.

[@uv77mc85]

Seems like a waste of a really nice condition Ferrari. Couldn't they have found a banger seeing as they used very little of the original car anyway?

[@LooseFab]

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)

[@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.

[@BrenTravisMusician]

24:10 When the wheels went on that thing looked sick. Beautiful build and some inspiring work there guys.

[@GrindhousePerformance]

The amount of craftsmanship, filming, and editing is unmatched. An unbelievable amount of work and incredible result. Easily one of the best builds ever completed on KZbin. 👍

[@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!!

[@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

[@rafalporeba1300]

This is one of the most, if not the most, amazing video that I've see over last decade. So much of great and creative work, done with extreme precision, its actually an art not a work ! I'm truly amazed how skilled you all are ! Thank you for sharing, I watch it with the true fascination. Regards Guys !

[@markusjentesart]

The time and dedication for this build, let alone making videos for all of it is just insane, but ultra amazing result. Hats off to you and your team!

The crazy part is that there is no team - he has friends that help out here but the majority is just him.

[@martinbell1769]

I literally can't believe I've just been captivated for half an hour by this video. I know very little about anything mechanical but that is a genuine work of art and the passion you must have had for the car is beyond anything I've ever seen. Can't congratulate you enough on the build, filming and editing. Outstanding.

[@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.

[@affieuk]

I just watched the entire playlist, almost entirely back to back. Epic work and what an amazing car. Will watch your E36 video's later, I love that car. 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.

[@guillermoyelamo5816]

Holy crap man this is an awesome time laps of the entire project. We forget how much work you (and the family by the looks), put into this. Best of luck when you get here to Australia. Watch out for drop bears.

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!

[@shazwanshafuan9150]

at the first part of this video, when you had cut a part of the main structure of the car at the engine bay, i was like, yep this car is totally wrecked and not safe anymore. but you made the car eventually more solid than before. good job! such clean build.

[@caponeZR]

Couldnt you have picked a worse example of that ferrari? It looked mint! :D

I really love that you designed a custom exhaust that matches the car's sporty design. Rather than going out the cheap way with a single exit fartcan placed to the side of the rear bumper.
