Whatever it cost it was worth it. What a perfect NC ❤ Edit: I spoke too soon
-
At the end of the day everyone knows that building cars and engine conversions are expensive. I'm currently building a K24 E30 in Australia with Kpower kit keen as for it to arrive
-
Former FRS owner (victim) would love to see K swapped 86
-
Would love to see a K-swap FRS in the future 🙏 thanks for being so transparent about the costs.

I found a hidden track car gem a while back: I picked up an E82 2008 BMW 128i 6MT w/sport package for $4700. With a junkyard 3-stage intake manifold, OEM Euro intake & a tune the car put down an extra 27whp & 32wtq over stock in a car that only weighs a touch over 3000 lbs with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. The N52 is reliable as an anvil and replacements are only about $1000. It’s a car that’s been doing very well in a few time attack classes that a lot of people overlook.
-
People dinged me in a last video for saying this is not a budget build lol. This car is great but $40K is like C7 GS/F80 M3/987 Cayman S money.
-
You should do a comparative on track vs an NC with a 2.5 to see the difference between the 2 swap, you could even throw in a FI car to add up, it would make for a very interesting show down i'm sure!
-
$40k seems insane but that’s racing. For me at that price a Lotus sounds like a good choice.
-
Thanks for the video gents! Your efforts are appreciated.
-
Most car people can't fathom spending real money on a serious car build, it isn't immediate enough clout today lol. Serious shit is done by serious people. Car is def a blast and a weapon.
-
NEVER ADD UP YOUR BUILD COSTS, FELLAS! 😂
-
In the grand scheme of things, 40k is not that bad at all for well sorted track car. If the BADASS2000 was redone in today's market, it would likely go a healthy amount past that number due to starting base car price and that's coming from an S2000 owner. This makes the gears start turning for relatively affordable track car options...
-
To this day it’s still such a distraction hearing “K-2-4” instead of “K-24”
-
You both hit the nail on the head about driving something you're enthusiastic about. Yes, it's C5 money, but I personally can't get enthusiastic about them. Kswap all the things!
-
Thank you guys for showing us these numbers, so many YouTube channels don't want to divulge such information.
-
Wild cause I beat the crap out of my 2.5 swapped nc and it’s now supercharged, years of track days etc etc and it’s still going strong.
-
The 2.5 might not have the same feel as a k24 but it's $700 plus cams and a weekend's worth of work. There is a whole racing series where they use sealed 2.0s without issue not to mention all of the weekend track guys running 2.0 and 2.5's. cool build though.
-
Definitely saw that 40k price tag coming in for a complete build, have that into my kswapped EG
-
I'd love to see some stuff about J-swapping an NC. It's becoming more popular on the earlier cars but I think it suits the slightly bigger NC well.
-
The swap kits are great for people who don't fabricate but they permanently are out of my price range. If I wanted to build a cheap track car I would probably start with an Ford SN95, GM F body, or Mitsu Mirage for the fwd boyz.
