So… how do you feel about WHITE? Personally, I love it, and that seemed to be the overwhelming response at SEMA… but the short I posted from SEMA had a LOT of mixed feelings!

Body in white is the perfect vibe for this build. Very good choice in my opinion 👍🏻

This is the stuff that makes the heart full. While I'm positive the feeling of unveiling the car at the show was an incredible feeling that can't be replicated, I think seeing you shoot the car at sunset back in California after the chaos had to be an extreme moment of bliss. Staring at the car that you've just dedicated at least 10,000hrs+ of your life into in a natural setting, at sunset, by yourself, with your camera; HAD to be the most emotional side of this project. Nothing quite like it. Love you Mike!! So excited to see where this car/channel takes you from here.

White is perfect. Contrasts so brilliantly with the black carbon fiber. Normally I'm not a fan of taking an old classic and redoing it into something that it never was, but your vision for this 308 is stupendous. I'm not sold on the sound of a four banger, but I'm sure that once your engine tune is set its performance will override that. Superb work.

The white shows the exhaust residue pretty well. It also seems like it is predominantly more on one exhaust tip versus the other. Would you recommend some tips that would help keep the wrap in good shape and add to the overall look?

The part about chasing that "first drive" high is something I really connect with. It's one of the best parts of a build. Great job getting this one going and congrats to your team for the effort.

Truly incredible Mike. In 700 days not only have you created one of the greats of custom/performance builds, you’ve gone from KZread neophyte to the Gold Standard, and as a one-man-show you should be so incredibly proud of both.

My wet dream is to see this with on board cameras, on tracks all around the world, improving lap times, getting upgrades, being tested by drivers... the difference between a shelf queen and a true performance machine is huge and what many KZread projects actually lack. Thanks for the content, mad respect.

This is such an incredible moment! I'm not gonna lie...I'm pretty emotional watching this video. What a journey...and it's just the beginning. Nothing but love and support for the channel. Keep up the amazing work so us mere mortals can live vicariously through you adventures.

Well done!! Worth the wait!! I started watching your videos a few months ago while I was out of work with covid and there were many days where yout build videos were the highlight of my day. The attention to detail and how you kept the true essence of the Ferrari intact speak volumes, and makes this build a much higher caliber than most....

I just gotta say it again. The attention to details on your build Mike is insane. Kudos to you my dude. Best build to be at SEMA not only but I have to say of 2022. Been watching for a long time. Congrats brother.

You've fought for every inch of this project and I couldn't be happier for you. Seeing this thing in person was surreal, congratulations.

Dude, I have NO IDEA who you are. I guess I've been living under a rock. But if I can say, which probably doesn't mean much as I am a nobody but, DUDE this is BEAUTIFUL! The way you speak about the build, had me borderline in tears. This is the passion that I wish all Car Culture Content Creators and Builders had. You earned my sub. You earned my Like. You earned my comment. I wish I had more to offer you than just a thumbs up and a fist bump, but I can promise to keep my eyes on your channel and recommend you to anyone needing inspiration for completing their build or better yet, trying to accomplish anything in life that they didn't think they could. Great Job man. Thanks for sharing this moment with all of us and I guess it's time for me to travel back in time and start this build from video 1 so I can feel like I was there the entire time. Thanks for giving me 30hrs of video commitments. Who needs Netflix or Hulu when you have content like this!? Thanks again and can't wait to see it evolve!

Just found your channel and thank you Lord! 30 hours of build that starts now thank you sir. Can't wait till the refinement of this project reaches its finish point. It's going to be a work of art.

Not only was the episode such a fulfillment to watch but everyone here in the comments sharing such gratitude brought so much enlightenment to me. This was an incredible 30 hours to have witnessed and many MANY more hours to come. I give my props to you Mike for setting off the inspiration we all need.

That is simply magnificent. It looks like it’s doing 200mph just sitting there. It’s all come together exceptionally well. Can’t wait to see it fettled and running around a track.

Literally just stumbled across this tonight and I'm blown away! This thing is soooooo SICK!!!! Awesome build and I'll definitely be watching the rest of the series in due time!!

I followed you on this journey. I watch every single episode and it was almost like I was there in the shop watching it. I saw the struggles with the hood, the brackets which had to be done over and over, the ideas, the alterations... It was amazing and the result is absolutely brilliant. If I might suggest, and I do it reluctantly because you did such an amazing job, I would change the mirrors to a more 'rounder' version and the rear diffusor a bit less sticking out, but that's just nitpicking and my personal opinion. Speaking of personal opinion... The white is amazing and you shouldn't switch back to yellow 😉 Absolutely gorgeous car and and outstanding job. The attention to detail and finish are top notch. Well done sir!

Thanks for bringing us along for this ride! I have really enjoyed watching your humble nature at work. A lot of other builders would never talk about having to re-make control arms as much but honestly, that made me enjoy this stuff more. I can't imagine the hours and hours of editing you have done to put out all these episodes but I know it was more than you may have ever thought. Foer being "new" to KZread, dude you knocked it out of the park! The awards were very well deserved and any praise you received as well. A lot of folks have no idea how difficult it is to produce quality content but many of your followers do. Sincerely, thank you. P.S. I also enjoyed the little quips under your names of many of the videos, those were funny. Take care and I will keep watching. Paul.

Well I wasn't sold on the wing aesthetically (I know it has a purpose) but the colour set it off. Its looks amazing! Still think you should run the pop ups with a shallower throw/profile! Really like the white

Just finished my 30 hour journey, took only a couple weeks and loved every second. Gave me lots of thoughts about what I might want to build further down the line, and how to inspire some of my current build!

Having both this car and Rob Dahms car “finished” and driving into the show on their own power made this sema seem like something special. You guys did an amazing job

So stoked for ya cuz. Each ep has been eagerly awaited and a weekly highlight in our household. Thanks so much for bringing us along. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to share in it. Amped for whatever you have planned. We're all in. Thanks again

It’s been a long time coming and I cannot put into words how happy and proud of you for finally completing this insane build. As a long time viewer, subscriber and patreon, I can’t help but feel really involved with the 244 GTK and I’m sure I speak for a lot of people. With your amazingly filmed and produced videos, that’s the magic you’ve done here Mike and you deserve every recognition for it. Once again congrats on the finished build. Excited for more stuff from you!!

I hate this is my first time seeing your car and channel but it got me hooked! Seeing that Amazing Car With All The Attention To EVERY DETAIL!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Congratulations On One Beautiful Build!!!

This is probably the only build I've ever seen that I don't want to change anything cosmetically. You absolutely nailed the looks of this in every way, my friend. The only mechanical change I'd suggest is lengthening the exhaust pipes a few inches so they don't burn the wrap/paint. Other than that, this car is flawless - white wrap and wheels included!

This has been an amazing effort, and love it or not, the end result is very commendable (I personally like it). It's easy to gloss over exactly how much goes into not only re-imagining a car, but basically re-engineering it from the ground up. Major respect, Mike.

Congrats. Big man, big heart, big goal, tons of focus. I’m very happy to see this part of the built “complete”. All the people who are create her own car knows, this kind of builds never ends. Big big congrats from Europe.

This made me all teary. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. There's a real sense of pride that I feel having following this build for quite some time. Well earned my friend, well earned :)

This Ferrari is my absolute favorite. There is something about this model that strikes me right. But, I had no idea my favorite could get any better. The white theme takes this to another level. The aero and engine are so well done. So many other good things to say. Well done!!

One of my absolute favorites in the last years- so impressive and always fun to watch. Congrats for this beauty!

Huge congratulations to you and all those involved in the GTK project. So glad the story doesn’t end here!

Holy crap!!! I spent the last 7 days watching this entire build!!! First off congratulations on this phenomenal, attention to detail, fit and finish build!! I would love to see this in person one day since I’m down by San Diego. Great work and enjoy this gem of a build!!

Man! I have followed almost all of your vids on this car, and I have to say, It. Is. Stunning! A beautiful piece of work. I wouldn’t even change the color back to yellow, but hey, it’s your ride! I am looking forward to seeing the shakedowns and improvements you make to it in the following months!

It looked great to see it in person at SEMA! And kudos to you for driving it in under its own power... that's a really significant milestone. You're right in that most are pushed and pulled in. Can't wait until it's tuned and ready to rip! Way to go!! You're doing a great job and keep up the good work!!

Stunning. Love the white, somehow symbolizes the start of the journey for me. Can't thank you enough for the sheer volume of quality work that you have put into this build. It's fulfilling childhood dreams halfway around the planet! Can't wait to see you get this beautiful machine race ready and see that thing sing round a track. Take some sleep, we will all still be here cheering you on!

Had the pleasure of seeing this in person at Sema. Absolutely love the build, the entirety of it. Great job to everyone involved in working on this beautiful piece of art!

absolutely BLOWN AWAY.... I found this bc it was mentioned on donut. So glad I found your work. You're a LEGEND.

Amazing 👏, looks SO good in white and I'd say keep it. Watching beginning to end is a crazy experience seeing what all went into this transformation. Well done sir I can't wait to see this art work hit the track. Congratulations

Wow, this build came out even better than I expected, and I expected it to be incredible. What a total home run! Huge congrats to Mike for producing something that is both genuinely original and beautifully executed. Also, I love the white!

I currently own a 2013 civic si coup with the original hfp package. Anytime I see a video about a honda k24 swap I get excited! I'm barely hearing about this build. I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos. This build is wild!

One of the best car builds I have ever seen. You beyond crushed it. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you build it.

This episode was worth the wait!!! It’s definitely worthy of the Sema award 🥇, can’t want to hear it driving. Well done it’s been a massive journey and I’m so glad you got it finished for Sema, I think the yellow with black carbon parts will look even better than the white.

Dude you absolutely killed it on this build. I'm so glad to have witnessed it. Can't wait to see what's next

dude your car looks sick! i love how you modded it, and you only used quality parts, which makes me love it even more! hope to see it win shows!

glad that the hard work paid off and you got it done in time. this went from a "nice old Ferrari" to a Mike B car. love it.

Car turned out perfect man. Thanks for letting us see it in person. Hey, what happened to the 55 that was on the hoist?

Aero detracts from the design, which is indeed a pity because it is one of the best looking ferraris. OTOH this is becoming a racecar not a GT.

So hyped for you man. Such an incredible build, and I’m so glad I was able to follow along and watch the full process. I can’t wait to see what’s next, and I can’t wait to see you fully enjoying it after it’s all buttoned up. I had remembered to come back to the S/W KZread channel and watch this video after being reminded when I hopped in my freezing cold car today and got to throw on, and use my LowlyGentleman driving gloves 😍 haha love the weather this time of year because it gives me an excuse to enjoy them a little more than usual 🤌🏼 Stay awesome man, and like I said I can’t wait to see what’s next 🙌🏼

God dang this was so worth the wait. The white looks phenomenal, the aero pkg, the stance, the engine… everything. I can’t imagine what the “sema push” was like, but wow. Well done man, this has been the best build on YT for the past two years, full stop. I can’t wait to see what you do next…

30 hours mate and well worth the time watching mate this build is amazing thank you mate cant wait for more epps

You sir, have stepped onto soo many purist toes, but in doing so, you have created a beautiful work of automotive art. I mean, this car just had to be a Smokey Nagata-tribute with that Honda in it. This JDM-styled beast is in-cre-di-ble! Hats of to you and your fellow builders.

Already know that new manifold is going to be insane, can’t wait for what’s to come with this build. I think the dyno video might break the internet, looking forward to seeing what this engine can do!

My hat's off to you Mike. It's looks AMAZING. A tribute to your skill and patience and perseverance. Well worth the wait, and totally got that you had to make getting her ready for SEMA a priority! Well done mate. You can be rightly proud! 👏 👏 👏

Crazy to think, I've been watching this car being built for 2 years...Congrats!

Congrats. Never seen the build, but this was a nice watch. Must be so pumped by its look. Looks like it should be on the cover of Gran Turismo!

That wrap burn from the exhaust is hurting my bones! What a beast of a build! Perfect combination of Japanese and Italian greatness!

Lovely production and product lad; I love the white and look forward to where you take this build next!

I’m really excited to see the come together man, the effort has been huge and it has certainly paid off! The internet is giving me a sign…. I am see so many old Ferrari builds show up in my feeds it must mean I should build something like this. I hope you inspire people to have a go at building something incredible. The white is 👌 btw

Amazing built! I've been waiting to see it finished and is as good or better than I expected.Great job and thank you for all the videos from this built.I really enjoyed them!!.

came from recomendations, and although im a big fan of cars i usually dont find myself seeing too many builds, projects or podcasts regarding them. in a way im kinda got the love of cars from games, but the thumbnail of this beast made me decide to take a look, and im very impressed. and first thought was that this is the kinda of tune games should have for their cars. i could feel and hear your excitment and and joy by having made this car as well as getting far like you did in the SEMA. and if im honest, the white looks WAY better than the yellow, specially after you mentioned hondas championship white. i also think it highlights the carbon bits really well too. i really liked the custom badge too, initially i thought only the GTK part was custom because i forgot theres no 244 ferrari, only 250 and 288. one little detail i noticed; it that on latter footage one of the exhausts burned a bit of the back of the car probably from some backfires while revving, perhaps you might want to make the little line in the rear out of carbon fiber or ceramic even if just an outer layer to protect it a bit.

Incredible. I'm closing in on a project a decade in the making and it will never amount to a fraction of this in terms of beauty, performance or otherwise perfection.

This thing is so well built that is impossible to say is an heresy of putting a K24 into a Ferrari. What a superb job. Congrats!!!

You're narrative voice is perfect, you could do Nat-Geo animal shows narrating family life of bears, big cats and even ground hogs. On top of that this build is smoking hot. I wasn't convinced through out the build but the final product is 100% beautiful. Can't wait to see what comes next for this build and others to come.

I think you should be very proud of yourself for this build. It's bold but brings life to the younger gen for classics. Well executed. I'd buy you a pint if I could. Job well done.

Awesome news you've done a great job The car looks fantastic Can't wait to hear it and see you finally drive it

ive binged this series for a week straight now basicly never skipping a video (apart from aarm saga lol) and the reveal being white kinda dulled it, but i get ur resoning why you did it. anyway great series i loved the tiniest of details on it and how much better it looks now, keep it up man

I'll be completely honest with you. At first, I didn't even know that this build existed. I saw it first on an Instagram post by the GOAT Larry Chen, and when I read the words "K24-Swap" and "Ferrari", I thought "what the heck. It's kinda criminal", because, you know.... typically, you don't put a JDM engine on a Ferrari 😅 But, I'll say this: this car is perfect. I love it. The swap gives it a unique character that can't be matched. Congratulations on the build, I can't wait to see more =)

.. this just showed up in my recommendations.. guess I have to go back and watch the entire series.. lol. Gorgeous car!

bro, the car is gorgeous as it is inspiring i cant wait to see the dyno, and track days...most of all i look forward to watching you build more

well this video should have the option for us to give more them one tumbs up... I´ve been following this build since day one, its an amazing job, with an amizing "final" result, congratulations to you Mike!

Just discovered the channel and the project; IT'S AMAZING ! Love everything about it, the 288 GTO body work as well as the engine swap and how it sounds. I also think the name 244 GTK is very well found. AMAZING !
