How Much It Cost To K Swap My RX7

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.

I'm the original owner of this FD. It makes me happy to see it loved as it should be. I'll look for the original window sticker, and if I find it, I'll send it your way. Thanks so much!

Shouldve tipped your labour guy $401 for the memes

You guys have been killing it with your content for the past couple years. You've become my favorite YouTube car channel. VA Bois rep!

Me: that's too much money
*burns out and bounces off the limiter*
Me: Nvm

[nickkings]

So you're telling me you couldn't find another $401 to add to the final price tag to hit 69420?

One of the best things about this channel: Ben and Ben actually get their hands dirty and drive their builds. That is huge. So many channels outsource the work and park the cars which defeats the build purpose. Keep up the great work guys!

$48, 000 in parts
$21, 000 in labor

Honestly that says alot at how much you can make/recoup/get discounted when you have a YouTube channel

[Willyslalaland]

No one gonna talk about how dope and bad ass it was to floor it at the end of the calculations?

[rudymwaurah]

:So what are your hobbies?
Ben: Well, erm... You wouldn't understand.

Wow I wasn't ready for that eargasm at the end

The tittle should be "how much it's cost to rebuild a Fd rx7 with K swap"

[agenericaccount]

Great thing about big project car gigs is that you can amortize the cost over time as budget allows. No shame in that. It's a pay as you go adventure.

16k for the FD to already come with the k swap and most of the bolt on was a bargain to begin with too I think.

[AdamChandler]

I never understood why anyone should shy away from / hide from / disguise / ignore discussions about cost. Ben, you don't need to beat around the bush. If people throw out negative replies, they're probably just jealous. Successful people have nice things. It's okay.

"I paid 16000 for the rolling shell"

God damn FDs are pricey as hell lol

[Marqgtfoh]

The k swap didnt cost you the most money literally everything else did 😂

[ChrisWalksFast]

I hate how money and cost is kept such a mystery in a so many different avenues of life. If I watch a detail vid or track day video, would love to know the cost to see if I would like to get into it. This is so great you guys do videos like this, thank you!

[nicolejhondelacruz]

Not skipping ads for continous quality content. Some youtubers keep their earning to themselves but you guys are giving it back to us through your vids. Thanks.

[robertabila]

A cup of coffee and some gears and gasoline. Great way to start the morning! Keep up the good work guys!
