I put a poll up on our Instagram page and asked what you thought it cost to K Swap my FD RX7 and the price estimates were all over the place. Rightfully so, it's a tough thing to put a value on. There's so many variables that goes into a custom build. Most of the parts on this car were created from scratch, they can't be purchased at a store. Queue the comments telling me I made a mistake K swapping my RX7:
This video had no sponsor, my wallet hurts. Buy some of our merch to help fund dumb decisions like this RX7.

@SturdivantRacing126 3 года назад
I honestly don't know why so many people get butthurt when someone buys expert labor to reduce the cost and pain of doing things incorrectly. This whole "Built, not bought" pride thing is super silly. If everyone could do everything, then there wouldn't be a need for anyone to have jobs to do anything. (Besides, most of those folks just omit the cost of their own labor efforts. Every action costs something. ;) ) Sometimes, it's just better/smarter/easier to just buy the labor or the finished thing you need, and go straight to having fun. I like that Ben is straight up about this.

@marczamo2500
@marczamo2500 3 года назад
@@marquisethomas5611 that's very optimistic number. Reality is to get driving and running reliably is minimum $15k and that's with a crappy roller. Solid Good condition fd rollers with full interior including buttons and plastics (those are always missing and/or broken) are running $15k+ easily these days. FDs are shooting up in price and interior pieces are hard to find and very expensive. If you do all the labor yourself with a good clean solid roller, you can do the swap for probably $30k. Remember his roller was not the best...needed body work and a good wrap job is not cheap.

My rotary FC has cost about $20,000 including the price of the car, a full rebuild, and all the extra parts. I rebuilt it because it’s 33 years old and had never been opened. The rebuild cost was about $3000. Now that Ive rebuilt it with modern tech and I didn’t push it much past 300hp it is very reliable and not particularly expensive.

I have decently low mileage Z32. I'm dead set on a swap. After watching your K swap series I was almost convinced to do the K swap. After a lot more research and spreadsheets to do comparison swaps I decided to do a 2JZ swap. Yep. Smoother operation. Huge power potential. Cheaper. Yes it's actually cheaper. I started with a GE engine. Even after all the machine work, swap parts, conversion harness, ECU, turbo, ect... Still cheaper. The k Swap parts are EXPENSIVE. So much so that the $500 engine price makes little difference between the two. Still... I really enjoyed your K swap content.

There’s always that slight pain when seeing a Rx7 without a rotary, it may be better without it, but the rotary is the heart of the Rx7

You can just don't overpay for a shell like he did.

@@maiy8786 No, at 2:05 he says he paid 16k for the rolling shell, so add 5k for interior and 3.5k for the wrap and pop up covers. Bro, that's even worse than I thought. He basically paid 24.5k for a non running project, he could've bought a clean running FD for that price and sold all of the rotary stuff. He just absolutely overpaid. All that matters is that he's happy at the end though.

@@maiy8786 My bad read that wrong. I think if he would've just started with a fresh shell it probably would've cost at least 20-30k less than he spent. Looks like he made that mistake of taking over someone else's project but didn't low ball them for it.

You bought the car k swapped already for 16 grand. Then paid someone to basically go through it and redo the swap + upgrades. Too bad you didn't buy them separately so everyone can get a real # of how much it was.

Worth every penny, my friend. The styling, power, reliability+rwd... didn't honestly fully appreciate it until now. At first I thought it was just for the memes/views tbh 😆 I'm sure that played into it a bit, but I can't think of any car that fully checks all these boxes besides maybe a turbo brz/86. Everything about this is 👌good job guys 👍

Man, this is what being a car guy at its core looks like. Loving your car, building it to the best shape that fits your style and likings, and especially sharing the info with other enthusiasts into the purest and most honest way. RESPECT
@toysforboysrc
@toysforboysrc Год назад
It would suck if you went through all the effort of the build and also filming and editing for 3 years and with you upload the video, it only gets 120 views 6 likes and 4 comments. I say this bcs it’s hard to find natural DIY at its best when there’s so much competition out there and it’s not all fair. There’s no telling if something will be successful or not.

@@toysforboysrc Agreed. I know it's not for everyone, and I'm pretty most of us thought about doing it at some point (shooting videos with friends and sharing car culture online) but let's be honest, It's not going to work out the same for everybody, and I guess I'm okay with it, that's life after all.

Going through the journey and learning as you go is part of the process. Modifying cars is expensive and we have to pay to play. But at the end of the day, I get more enjoyment out of my build than if so was to purchase an more expensive car outright. That's just me.

Thanks for sharing the costs. Probably making a lot of people feel better about the cost of their project car. Or making people think twice before starting.
