What an insane little car with this swap, this P2W is absolutely mental The Stoppie into T1 at the Nürburgring was amazing too 😂 Massive props to you for enduring this thing around the entire Nordschleife, looks like absolute torture All we need to eclipse this is for Polyphony to add a Smart ForTwo with a Civic swap or something equally oversized.
I want Chris Cornell back too...😢 Great vid again thanks for putting in the hours to see what happens with these cars. Id love to do all of them but no time...
I've found that with swaps like this sometimes reducing the power (along with a couple other tweaks) makes them much more effective. Sure you'll lose some top end speed but you'll get around the track much faster with less wheelspin to deal with. Now, if you want to build for roll racing or just straight line in general then all the power will be more useful for those scenarios. I'm not a pro by any means but these are just some of my findings.
I found out as much with the 1965 Mini earlier in the series. On the first sector of the nurburgring, it was faster with literally half the power and no ballast. Only on the high speed sections did the full 550hp car run away. To be fair though, the whole point of this series is to try and drive these cars in their most insane state of tune, so it's probably more fun to watch me banging my head against the wall trying to push 840hp through the front wheels :)
Man, I’m fully invested in ur tuning videos, so going back through vids is what taught me that ur doing what ur doing on controller. We need to elevate ur channel to a full rig just so I don’t feel quite so inadequate when watching ur content. Subbed with noti’s 👍🏾
Would you consider an episode on the GTR-LM Nismo Gr.1 car? It's got similar issues to this, being a powerful FF car, but adds in Downforce balance issues, and hybrid management (if it's possible) too.
@@fossilfueled27 If it helps at all, consider me interested. I think the LM Nismo would need as much help as an engine swapped road car does to be competitive even in the category below its own.
As someone who doesn’t play GT this might just sound dumb, but… Would adding a wing & increasing downforce help with keeping the rear of the car on the ground with the high front weight setup?
It would at higher speeds, but at the speed the Civic was travelling when it performed a headstand, downforce wasn't playing much part. Plus the RCR Civic already generates higher-than-average downforce compared to most road cars in the game.
I'll add it to the next community vote, but generally Vipers are really good. The main thing that helps is fitting a rear wing and maxing the rear downforce.

GET THIS MAN TO 10K SUBS !!!!
Exactly how does he not have 10 K subs yet?
his videos are so good!!!
Glad I'm going back and watching all of these. Almost had to take a day off work when Chris Cornell passed
I still can't believe it happened honestly
"I made it to the first corner before the problems started" had me dying 🤣
I want Chris Cornell back too...😢

Excellent. Had me in absolute stitches watching this! 😂

That with Chris Cornell was evil😂😂. I love that kind of Humor😂
800hp on 900kg car is absurb. That is a real "VTEC just kicked in yo"
Gran Turismo 6 has the tommykaira zz ii, that has 950hp and 900kg if weight.
@@2003AudiS3 The ZZII isn't front wheel drive, though.
@@fossilfueled27 true and it actually handled great.

Crap i can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great vid! Any plans for doing a video on an engine swapped C3 Corvette? The thing is an absolute menace to drive!
Thanks for solving my problem with ek type r
Are you a fan of Seether by chance? 😉

Usually most of my content is focused on road cars since the set-up changes make more difference, but if I get enough interest I'll consider anything.

@@chrishamr947 I'll add it to the next community vote which will be in a few days. :)
did you try to increase the gear rations more and modify the initial torque?
Hilarious! At least you look good while doing nose stands
I'm just waiting for the 458 swapped 4c,, thing is glorious but i can't get the tune right on it
It's manageable without the High RPM turbo. Putting it on is asking for trouble!
Can anyone recommend a GOOD gr4 car? And is 650s Gr4 from McLaren any good?
Can you do R8 powered TT '14 next?
How do you turn off driver assist :,) Google isn’t helping

@@fossilfueled27thank you brobeans
@@fossilfueled27Considered Cayman (with potential of 1400hp)?
Thats not wheelspin its Vtec😂
Everyone has to tell Polyphony we don't want to play Forza while playing GT7.
Forza is way superior 😮😮😂
