Oh wow bro! I'm truly sorry to hear about you losing your gig... That being said, let's think about that layoff as a "blessing in disguise". You have a true talent when it comes to automobiles and another talent of putting it on video and making it interesting. If I could give you any advice, I'd say run with that and see where it takes you. I wish you the best and I have a distinct feeling that this low moment is going to take you places you probably never even dreamed of going. Good luck to you bro, I think you may be headed into something new and exciting.👍🏿🙏🏿✌🏿💯
I feel you man, every time I get laid off from an IT job I swear I'm getting out. I always wind up back in an IT shop though, lol. Best of luck, I hope the youtube channel takes off. You do the kind of work people like to see.
@@liquidflorian I really appreciate it man, it’s been a rough ride for me too in my ten years in tech. I’ll be giving the channel and the car building my all from here on, we’ll see where it takes me.
It’s not great to get laid off just before the holidays but I’m sure you’ll be fine. It’s a good time to work for yourself or get a job in the defense industry, that’s what I just switched to after 28 years in graphic design in the printing industry.
@@CRXnick it’s in excellent condition, pretty low miles for the age and zero rust. The B16 swap was a good choice so I don’t have to cut up such a straight car
@@bryanhallman8183 I was thinking about that, maybe I can do some extra content on something like that. I want to make sure to keep my main builds available for free.
@@tcjmods73 thanks man, and me too! There’s some really cool stuff going on with the K swap stuff right now, low key kinda want to build something with one after this Honda is finished
LCS - LIKE COMMENT SUBSCRIBE … I only found your channel a few weeks back. I was in IT starting in 1983. I survived 3 rounds of layoffs through my career, finally jumping off the treadmill in 2022. There are better opportunities ahead. 👍🏻
Been following for a while.... Hope you can push the car building thing hard enough to put food on the table. I don't know much about the tech industry, but I've heard it can be up and down. Not great timing either. Already have focus on something else, and your drive will keep you going. I look forward to more frequent content from you (hopefully)
Excited you'll be doing more content. Came to this channel because of the challenger. We are about the same age and there isn't any boomers making videos on e-body tutorials.
@@AmericanBullyTTV dude, thank you sir! You’re an OG if you’ve been watching from the Challenger build. This is definitely a chance to level up my builds. Haven’t settled on exactly what the next big build will be after the Honda and Corvette, but it’s gonna be crazy. I’m thinking big turbo and it’ll blow the doors off the Challenger.
The B16 will yank pretty good (definitely the best fitting as the B18/20 have taller deck heights and may require minor hood/mount adjustments), but folks also underestimate the power of certain single jingles, like the D16Y8. Quite a fun engine paired with a tight ratio 5 spd and light platform/build.
Hey man, really sorry to hear you got let go, that's rough. It's their loss!! I am in tech as a SW engineer, and it could be me someday. Maybe I would start a bicycle shop. Anyway, consider starting a Patreon, I would support for sure! Looking forward to the civic build et al.
The tech industry is fickle. That was the very first swap I did: 1989 CRX to B16A cable tranny. That was back in '02. I kept that car for a while, and after getting pulled over a couple times for "loud exhaust" I got rid it. I was in my late 20's and two things made me walk away from the "Honda/import scene": #1 I felt like was getting too old for it. I didn't want the "boy racer, ricer" image associated with me, though my car was stock looking with the exception of Eibach springs. #2, it was getting passé at that point (mid 2000's); the import scene reached its peak, and was going downhill. I guess it's kind of coming back. I'll reach out to you in the near future, if you're available and willing. I have a Z32 short wheelbase, like the one you had. But I'm swapping in a LS3 erod crate engine. I'm doing things by the book.
@@eekay3646 sounds good man, you can always reach me in my Instagram messages at instagram.com/noboltsleftbehind . It does seem like there’s a resurgence of the 90s Japanese stuff. It was actually kind of hard to find this B16, they’re a popular motor right now.
@@JonnyMopar yeah seriously man, I’ve seen some crazy stuff in my ten years in corporate America. And don’t worry, I’m all LS’ed out after the Corvette. Haha
Great video, I too was in tech as an IT director, i left the corporate world to be self employed and haven't looked back...thanks for sharing
@@Carsinthecut that’s awesome man. I’m trying hard to get there myself.

Need to invest in a pneumatic jack for your engine hoist
@@FE428Power yeah it’s probably about time. I’ve been tearing a lot of engines out recently 😂
@noboltsleftbehind I love mine!
Me too! Makes life much easier.

Dude sorry to hear about the job, that’s a bummer. Stoked for this swap tho ! I’ve been planning and researching a k swap into a 90s civic.

@@Papa-Bogey thank you sir, I appreciate it. Just in my ten years in tech I’ve seen a few rounds of layoffs. Tech sucks. Haha.
Subscribed, word of advice, when doing swaps make sure you get a nice deposit some folks don't like to pay once everything is done

@@josephmatuszak3855 good to know, I wasn’t sure in the fitment but it sounds like the B16 was a good choice vs a B18 or B20
Im like you. I wake up and research care stuff all the time.

That’s corporate America for ya. No loyalty to its employees. Nice little side gig in the meantime. But I was expecting an LS swap. lol. J/K.

K swap coming soon
Merry Christmas you are getting laid off! That really sucks man and im sorry to hear about it but im sure it will all work out in the end.
Gloves! Get some gloves dude.
Would you be interested in selling the corvette? I am local to you. I could finish the work or let you complete it.
@@garyrobison1518 thanks for the offer, I’ll be finishing it here in the channel but I’ll certainly reach out if I end up needing to sell it 👍
How do you rent your car and not get screwed over ?
Around here, that would end with you never seeing that car again.
@@maxfastest I use a third party rental service. It would be the same as if you rented from a rental car company.
I see ALOT of bolts getting left behind…. Just saying 😂
Working for companies sucks.
@@SoloAscent agreed 1000%
