A couple of minutes a week is excessive. Something’s wrong with the watch.
When a solar flare finally hits us (or the Ruskies and the Yanks decide to nuke the world), however, your Seiko will still be a minute/week off. Your quartz watches will be week/week off.

Look up Tom’s garage “Thunderbolt” miata.
Mr. Tom put a V8 into a Miata while keeping it as close to the original in terms of handling as possible (I think the end result only weighs a couple hundred lb more)
Mr. Tom is a maniac of precision, so the videos are a joy to see how clean everything is (he’a a bit of a nerd though)

It’s actually pretty common in general. I refer to my motorcycle as a bike in the US.
Frankly my favorite is the European “moto”

Just rev your engine before releasing the clutch and you’ll have as much (wheel) torque as you need (within power limits of the engine and tires).
