7,000 Mile Roadtrip in a Civic and Miata - Episode 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2019
- Last year we drove our Evo 9 MR and STI swapped Subaru Forester from Florida to Alaska. Now, we're going to take another road trip! We've bought a supercharged Miata and Type R swapped Honda Civic to drive from the Florida Keys to Nova Scotia. It's a round trip journey of over 7,000 miles.
We drove our turbo cars from Florida to Alaska. We took our STI drivetrain swapped Subaru Forester and Mitsubishi Evo 9 MR on a journey of over 10,000 miles. This isn't click bait, we actually did it! Or rather, you'll have to watch to find out if we actually made it all the way!

"I'm not wearing shoes or socks, because weight reduction."
I mean, in a car that small it would probably make an honest difference
Wait but those still be in the car you just won't be wearing it xd

should have taken a dump if he didn't ...
Did I just see a Miata wink at me?

Yes

To see that Civic go from $5000 road trip car to leading at Laguna Seca is just incredible, absolutely unbelievable.
And another $50,000 added to it. 🤦♂️

I live in Brazil and I envy you guys.Gasoline is expensive as hell here and the roads are as smooth as the moon.Seeing you guys with these cars traveling around the country seems like a dream to me.
Cheers from a brazilian fan.
At least you have somewhere to go. I live in a tiny island. You can drive around it in less than 3 hours.
@@FrozenSkullVFX As someone from Slovenia, likewise. The longest relatively straight road in the country (Koper-Ljubljana-Maribor-Murska Sobota) which goes border to border is about 300km long. I got my licence only half a year ago and I have almost a third of the entire country memorized. Hard to overblow how tiny Slovenia really is.

For the civic I think the "kill switch" is also good idea instead removing the ECU every night
Can't hot wire a car with no ECU
@@jv6miata neither with killswitch
😂 he’s wearing a “proud Asian American woman” shirt
Hopefully short Ben's Honda doesn't get stolen along the way lol
Yeah
stolen in the mountains... that'd be drama for this series...
Asian Ben should prank Short Ben
Wait they’re both Bens?? 🧐
Facts
Missed an opportunity to call the civic "Rob"
I don't get it
Civics are the most stolen car in the us
Thats why its name is rob
@@skeleml934 i thought the accords were more sought after for theives than the civics?
Cocoa19634 depends on the thief
I think the thing I really love about the G&G roadtrips is that I regularly find myself rewatching them the I can't find anything else to watch. between the content, the editing, and my love of unreliable cars, these just feel like when the perfect show came on cable as a kid.
The white miata and civic cruising together looks so badass.
3:35 the Miata looks so happy :)
I would say an NA(means generation) Miata in a good state is always happy
Like a puppy
Happy car happy owner
Both look happy
Miatas always look happy! ;D
The production value you guys put out just continues to amaze me. You are defining the culture with each video you produce!! Thank you!!!!
This is a correct statement
I have to agree, credit given where credit is due!
Yup
Lies
I know it’s just like watching a documentary , a very professional well done one
9:45 I love how tall Ben saying "Bright" in "wake up bright and early..." is timed with the turning on of the civic's headlights. Well done to the editor
Looks like the editing took forever :D But hey, awesome video, super fun. I am planning to do a similar road trip in Japan with my Supra maybe!

Nice old Top Gear feel with those "gifts" for each other lol.
Beautiful guys. Love this road trip videos!
Or the Grand Tour!
Was gonna say, are these guys gonna be the next generation of top gear?
@@Azgaurd nope. This is a car show. Top gear was (and is) an entertainment show, oriented to cars, hehe.
They are not Top Gear.
@@trishaleaver3581 not even Top Gear is Top Gear nowadays. And I never said they were.
Liked before watching. 90’s vehicles!
NegronJL1 same here!!! Haha...
Shame that they are driving 90s rust buckets
90's cars are the best
6:34 heck you
drivin barefoot is the ultimate driving experience and you just can't handle that level of rawness
This reminds me of the good old top gear bbc days! Keep it up guys love your road trip series
apparently in the grand tour they will focus on road trips now which is amazing
I guess it's meant to look like top gear, those gifts, discussing cars at the stops...
“This sun is making me squint more than I usually do.” Had me dead
As hes wearing a shirt that reads "Proud Asian American Women" lol
21:03 "Proud Asian American Woman" Nice shirt Ben 😂
Look up John Mulaney Blocksbuster video stand up it will all make sense
Gay as fuck
10:20 when I first heard this clip I thought they edited in a sound clip of someone just screaming WOAHHHHHH, but then I remembered the Miata is supercharged.
😂
Lmfaoo samee
Top Gear, with less insults, and soft core. Still enjoyable.
21:07 just noticed what his shirt said 😂😂
Lol. Proud Asian American Women.
You saw that too. (:
Maybe the civic was 5k because
It is stolen...
Lol!!!!
But that could be true as well.
I suggested that a High mileage S2K a perfect match for this episode could have been perfect for this 5k JDM car don't you think.
Lenta Jzx tbh I do!
No way. $5000 my ass
Sequentialed he May have imported it, they have like a shit ton in. Japan.
Sequentialed is that like crazy low or something? Here to buy one used is like 2k
I find it annoying hearing people talk about how a miata isnt fast🤦♂️ we know. They arent supposed to be
iiLucus They’re just pissed off because a small, lightweight and low powered car sells better than theirs. The miata has unrivalled aftermarket support, is cheap as hell to run and is more fun.
its all about smiles per hour
@@DezmoNile smiles per gallon
Having a Miata makes you feel like you are in a relationship with your car.
It puts a smile on your face just knowing it’s yours.
It rewards you every time you get in it.
You miss it when you’re not around it.
You tell anyone who will listen how great she is.
Guys with Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers talk about there cars like the car is a guard dog.
“ Look how big and powerful it is.”
“ I love how mean it looks.”
“ Mine can beat yours any day, everyday.”
“ Yours is a sissy car, ‘cause it’s small. It’s like a toy.”
I get it...you can love a dog, but it’s not the same as loving a woman.
@@Hammerdak raw poetry
Are Type Rs that clean really only $5,000? That doesn't add up to me.
Edit: Ah, it's fake. Still looks great though.
it's an EX
He bought it for even less and spent a lot of time fixing it. The initial car plus the upgrades cost about 5k.
There are no type r’s from that gen in lhd or sold in the us unless imported
@@takcleberry Car's have to be at least 25 years old to be imported to the US...the first year of the 6th gen civic's was 1997 so these cars can't be imported yet.
That's still a good deal considering the engine he has. (:
Engine condition not included (because who knows) $5k for the Type R replica is a "steal". Pun intended, but also accurate.
This is the best car channel on RUclips. How it doesn’t have 2mil followers blows my mind.
Soon brother
i respect the channel but its very dry to me. good content and everything but its just not that fun. im not gonna be disrespectful and promote other channels here, i like that they are doing what they like and have a following but they remind me of "The Straight Pipes" and "Throttle House" ... i support all these guys but i definitely feel like all 3 could use some help in the fun or funny department.
This series has inspired me to take a trip in my BRZ. I can't stop re-watching it. More road trip videos!
I've watched it about 4 times now 😂
Yeah
You're a brave guy for doing that in a Subaru
Zz
Aa
This brings me back to watching the old top gears with jeremey clarkson, James may and Richard Hammond, with my dad before top gear changed to the new boring show that it is, never stop making videos and a gained subscriber from England!
I daily drove a Miata for 2 years, truly the best car I've ever owned, that being said it was probably the absolute worst car for any kind of road trip lmao
How tall r u? Thinking of joining the club
@@thierryreindorf8864 I'm 6 foot and like 230 so not exactly small but I fit pretty comfortably
Ill road trip my miata anywhere ive been on a 2500 trip already and want to do more im on my 3rd miata
@@thierryreindorf8864 If you are under 6 foot you should be able to make a Miata work for you, above 6ft your mileage may vary. I'm about 5' 11" and 270 and I fit comfortably in a na. The only things I had to do was I have a aftermarket steering wheel and quick release to push the steering wheel forward and off my legs. After that, taking foam out of the seat does help, but it's not 100% necessary.
@@thierryreindorf8864 I had a mk2.5 and I'm 6'2" and was perfectly comfortable, check for rot, front chassis legs, front arches, sills, rear arches. Rust seems the only killer. Just buy a solid one
I drove my miata from New Jersey all the way to Arizona, it definitely was not the answer hah.
It depends which Miata. NA-NB can only go so fast and the optional cruise control. ND I've reached triple digits on long stretches but a bit stiffer ride.
@@jg5001 My dad has a 90 NA, and the gearing is short enough that its turning 3000 RPM to do an indicated 60 MPH. Even though it has cruise control, it has a nice sporty sounding exhaust (that drones at highway speeds) and the wind noise from the soft top is enough to get on your nerves after a while. Plus the lack of head room.
So, even with cruise control it's really not a great road trip car. My '91 Civic hatch is a much better car for long drives in comparison. It too needs some additional sound deadening to be what you might call "refined", but a set of ear buds cut down the background noise enough that you can ignore it.
I lived in Jupiter, FL for a long time, and I remember driving my Miata down 95 at night just like you were. it brings back some incredible memories. Good times dude this series is awesome
when i first heard you came to Canada i was so happy. when you said you were going to nova scotia, i freaked out because i live in nova scotia! much love from ns!!
That one person who disliked this is the same person who failed to steal the civic, NO ECU :D
I own an EP3 Type R and the oil scene got me good
i have a K20A2 swapped EP1 that doesnt use any oil even tho its done 240k km. i got lucky i suppose lol
I miss my 1998 DX Hatch. Also didn't have AC, but too busy doing real driving to care. I put 300,000km on it and never got rear ended or rear ended anyone while constantly redlining it. Key to the safe driving is NO sway bar. However, Had strut bar all around, including rear upper. Pro-Kit springs with Tokico Shocks. Without the swaybars, it allows the progressive springs and double wishbone suspension to do it's magic (this car needs to lean into turns). The car is a monster at finding grip in the most chaotic situation. Might lose a few second off the track time (bit of under-steer without rear sways), but on the street, this setup cannot be beaten by any car in existence.
3:23 I have seen one in Scotland whose owners answered that question with a definite YES.
Luggage rack, boot, behind the seats… passenger footwell. All packed to the brim with bags, maps and stuff.
Seemed like a lot of fun to be honest!!
9:30 as a 90's honda owner that's too relatable lol
Fuck I have to do that on my 07 si LMAO
Trash ass fucking car! 🤢 Acting like its an ok car fuck outta here boy thats a piece of shit car
@@skipper5186 shut yo ass up
skipper the ones with no car talk the most

Came here to say the same thing 😂😂
Also the squinting comment. Is it racist if it’s about yourself?

I got recommended this channel by someone, and I'm glad I came by! Fantastic production, I look forward to watching more.
this is totally amazing to watch. glad you guys had fun can’t wait to watch the rest of the episodes
Lol you guys will love the 401 traffic through Toronto 😂
I use 401 at 3am to datalog lol
im saying especially at rush hour though
As a daily 401 commuter this is no joke. Hopefully AC and heating is working, it's getting weird out here!
This is gonna be wicked.... the roadtrips always are
such a calming and chill video yet really entertaining.... awesome job!
Just wanted to say, y’all helped me solidify two of my favorite cars
This video just make me want to buy a type r civic 😪
That R Swapped Civic is absolutely my dream car. Freaking beautiful.
Honda person here all day long, for me longevity with little repairs is key. I've had 2 civics, 2 Odysseys and 2 Honda pilots, all hit well over 200,000 miles with no problems 👍. I've wanted a civic hatchback since I was a teenager but never got one when I was single then got married and had children so it was out of the question but now my children are older so 🤔😉
I love these road trip videos. Each video is like a movie because the quality is amazing.
What a phenomenal video! Turned off adblock, and rewatched twice. You guys are on another level of video quality! Thanks for such great content man!
Also nice shirt at 21:09 Tall Ben 😂😂😂
Such an underrated channel you deserve at least 2mil
OMG this is literally my dream roadtrip! thanks for sharing guys
would've loved to see you guys actually buy the cars, like that could be a whole entire episode
They didn't add it because there's no way he paid 5k for that civic hahaha. Maybe 10k
@@1UPvocalcovers this was 2019. he very much did. now you cant as the market is inflated.
How did you find a supercharged miata with a hardtop for $5k???
He most likely didn’t
i think they lying cus a clean ek with a type r would run near 10k
Not that bad honestly mine was only 4K with a hardtop and built top end
@@Pepperoni_Toni Definitely didn't lol
WSL watch the Type R video.
Yess these videos are awesome. Hopefully one day you guys drive up to NYC. I can show you guys around!!! I would love to meet your guys!! Keep up the amazing!
Just catching this story a little behind schedule, so far loving yet another road trip adventure from you guys! Absolutely love the positive attitude and shooting/editing style of your videos, very welcoming and easy to watch. On to Episode 2!
Absolutely loved the road trip series last year, and this looks like its built up to be even better than last! Excited to follow this journey.
You have literally no idea how glad i am that you guys did this again. The last series was so insanely entertaining and well put together. Im expecting big things from this series as well!
Some of the best cinematic and production quality on RUclips, everything you guys produce amazes me. Incredible as always
Wow. I'm amazed. You guys have given me a goal to do in life. I would love to do this with my friends some day before I pass. Thank you so much.
I can honestly say I’m not a fan of Honda...with that said, I own an Evo 9 MR. But as I watch ur channel I feel a sense of pride and passion in what ur doing. I can appreciate that and u set the bar for the love of what u set ur goals at. It’s very refreshing to follow u thru ur build. Stay safe and keep it fresh. JDM PRIDE
This is amazing. Well done with the production, editing, everything. Damn fellas. Future of auto entertainment.
Perfect trip, awesome cars and 4 cool guys! I love the 2 cars that u have chosen. Well done and thank you for improving the automotive culture with your videos!
Greetings from Greece
Car has came a long way. Enjoy the videos of it a lot. This civic started off as a single cam automatic in my driveway. Glad to see you have finished it up. Its beautiful.
Lost count of how many times I've watched this, such a good road trip series.
Another road trip series with one of my favourite cars!
urko Miata fan I see
your film production quality is just beyond amazing. i am looking forward to all the episodes of this trip!!!
3.23 That Forester looks pretty awesome.
This is the third roadtrip series I've binged and I'm addicted. Amazing videos!
That civic is a beauty, I still can't believe it's around 5k 👀
Sir Bazzamous
Probably the build was 5k
5k for a stolen civic
here in the uk they cost more on average £6-7k
T Mistro no because it isn’t a type r I bought one for my daughter for her first car, top spec 20k miles £900 last year
You guys are the best! Really excited for this video
This was the coolest, purest, different in a good way video I’ve seen in a long time! I love y’all cars, personalities, and vibe!
It's the 11th time I watch these series and the intros always give me goosebumps!
I got so hyped when I got to the part of you guys going to meet with David Patterson, 2 channels I absolutely love
Both cars are awesome and great editing, I can't wait for episode 2!
Living the life. Road tripping in enthusiast cars and visiting some awesome places.
I watch this series once a week. Very relaxing to watch. More of these please!
I love these road trip vids guys i probably watched the Alaska one 5 times keep these up!!!!
Very good choice of both cars!! Love the Miata and Civic Type R!!
These production values are insane guys! I just recently subscribed and I'm absolutely loving the content, camera work and wholesomeness!! Keep up the good work. The cars are sick btw.
I watched this when it first released, and then for a family vacation we went to Key West and I forgot about this video. Seeing them go to some of the same places I went is awesome.
I'm actually enjoying this show. Kudos 🤛
Fairly sure the supercharger in the Jackson Racing kit for the Miata is a roots type blower, not a twin screw.
Canada here...nice lads, I push a 89 crx si to Scotia and back from southern Ontario...sweet trip, nice roads, 4 cylinder never seats the gas n easy to fix...stay safe, dream big...one love
I love it when you guys do roads trip like and film along spectacular views.
Thank to Advanced Auto 😀
love these series, they are kinda like top gear specials used to be
I live in the Keys. Its crazy to see you guys coming down to where I am and being able to recognise places lol.
This is seriously the best content I have ever got on RUclips. Thanks for this optimum level of content. Love and admiration from India.😊
I love watching the road trip series and love watching all the other videos. You guys are inspiring me to take some road trips and all the shots look amazing. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more road trip videos or other videos.
I was in the keys during march break, wish I could've spotted you guys :(
That civic is a crazy deal for 5k for how clean it looks in the vid.
20:50 Lin's shirt genuinely gave me a chuckle 😂👌
Wow! Great video I’ll be watching the next ones for sure.
Do note that the Jackson Racing SC is a Roots blower, not a Twin Screw. There is a difference.
The Tail of the Dragon is where I learned to Drift in my AE86 before it was called "Drifting", love that place.
