If you need my YouTube click to help keep the lights on or food on the table, let me know.
That's not really how youtube monetization works.
You are passionate enough about this car to be a member of this particular forum with over 20,000 posts, but when another member of the very same community who shares the same enthusiasm and passion for this particular car as you makes a very well made video showing their enthusiasm/passion, you boycott it?
I'm just trying to wrap my head around this logic. Does it have to do with pride/principle of thinking that they get money if you click on their link? I think they only get paid if you click on or watch the ads, which you don't have to do.

Only so much time in a day too.
I apologize, I wrongly assumed all these S2000 videos are made as click bait to get paid. Maybe that's not the case for the OP. Regardless, I applaud his dedication and enthusiasm for the S2000 but I still choose to not spend my time watching his video.

Is that OK?

Turn on adblock then watch it. Best of both worlds if you don't want OP to get 15 cents from your view. I love the car, and I enjoyed the content. I was able to set aside a few minutes of my day because it was worth it to me. Others may not feel the same.

Very good review though. Props to savagegeese for doing his research and putting together a well-made video. Great editing, solid camerawork including the drone work. I laughed, I cried, I learned. Best review on youtube I've seen of the s2000. And he didn't go on about "quirks" like Doug Demuro.

Obviously people can do / watch what they want or not. But there's no need to be jealous over someone else's efforts.

That’s fine and all, but why did you make such a point at the start of the thread to let everyone know that you wouldn’t watch? One could argue that is simply attention seeking behavior akin to clickbait YouTube videos.

I genuinely don't care if you watch it, but I do find your strident behavior fascinating.

Good video.
Couple of things. If you are buying a car to drive on the street, I honestly question the need to upgrade the banjo bolt on the early ap1s. The job is tricky and numerous folks have stripped out the block trying to install the new bolts. Same with the valve retainers. Inspect them. If they are bad replace them. If not, leave them alone. If you mechanically over rev. Probably then replace them.
