Please turn this into another money pit season.
It’s a Honda. They already spent 10k on a 2500 dollar engine. I’d say they have done that already.
@Phillip EllisI think they said 10k because of all the other bits and bobs they put on it, like I’m willing to bet those headers and exhaust are at least a thousand
K vs F builds! 😀
I thought every Honda is a mony pit
@Toby Stevensstill don’t think its 10k
i love the genuine joy Adam got from the first firing up of the engine. he was not expecting it to work first try lol
They got all the big guns in and the power of editing. Be a bit embarrassing if it didn’t.
This is why Honda boys are Honda boys… Easy, reliable, screaming engines. Not the fastest, but fun enough for the streets.
The starting point for the universal joy/love of jdm cars. They almost never quit, stock.
Like like how Gillespie was like “yep, just another swap”. The guy is thee old school Honda swap god, incredible that they got him to come out to help with the swap!
No matter how many engine swaps you do, that first startup always feels like magic lol
Bro, I get exited everytime my car starts after I change the oil lol (I’m no expert mechanic by any means) , I can’t imagine how exited I would get on their shoes lol
You guys have a formidable set of cars man.. from the 350’s to the wrxs to the trucks.. I’d love to see y’all make a race fleet
Thank you for not splitting this up into episodes! Straight up action packed 💪
Agreed! 💯 👍
I can’t get enough of Donut content! Been a fan since day one. 🙂 It’s really great seeing this channel reach the heights it has at the moment. Real Mechanic Stuff is a go-to channel for me as well. 😀

I feel like this one episode could’ve been an entire season of money pit, and I for one definitely want to see all of the hard work that went into this car
It definitely felt super rushed, but I don’t think a whole season. Q 2-parter feels like it would be the perfect sweet spot for something like this. Maybe do a Friday& Saturday special for it?
I enjoyed that they did it all in 1 video
Are you sure it’s rushed, or is it actually just how easy it is to upgrade an old Honda 😉
@TheEpic RiceMaker I feel all donut videos are rushed now, people dont have the attention span to watch a car transform over a few months of content and would rather have it all in 10 minutes
donut has been dropping nothing but bangers this month
So glad you are having fun with this. Neat to see all the people coming together to help out.
I really enjoyed this episode, it’s making want to get a 5th of 6th gen soooo bad 😅
nasty bot
