An Update On The World's Most Expensive "Bolt On" Civic

- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- The Civic is leaving soon to go to LHT Performance, so I thought it would be a good time to give an update on where we're at with the build and go over all the parts and current wheel setups we have for the car.

Stay tuned for more crazy!
im going to miss you calling us little honda bros
It will be fun breaking it out 5 years from now as an inside joke.
Can I have it please 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰😭💓💓💞💞💓
I'm reaching 40 and still feel like a little Honda bro. These 90's Hondas and Acuras are quickly becoming modern day classics. One things is certain, the EG and EK hatchbacks, EM1, and Integra GS-R and ITR coupes will forever be import icons. They are our generation's hot rods.
Preludes tooooo
@@trundlepufpendants finding a clean lude is rough stuff
@@whoischris28 yea mines a bit rough lol
I feel the exact same way, letting go of my EK hatchback feels like something I'd regret.
Yeah, and they’re going to probably be affordable for many years to come. Which means the next generation can also enjoy them as much as us
You are crazy if you are gonna give away this beauty, this one is a keeper
The only channel where a quick update video on a bolt on civic is nearly 40 minutes. Great work as usual. No rush in giving it away enjoy it a little and get the hype up. Please don’t paint the carbon hood. It’s crazy you mention Godspeed I remember him too. I had a cf hood on my silver 2000 Celica GTS 6 speed which was my first new car while at the end of college.
Ha, ha... I only know one way. Long and boring...
Obsessed Garage not boring it’s passion. I was same way when selling cars especially at BMW and Porsche. I studied everything on the cars and knew the options on every car I inside and out. I even knew most of the prices even though it changed every year and even updated throughout year.
The dedication and respect you have for this civic is insane. I see so many riced out or abused civics on the road, but this is so well done. I dream of being able to financially and technically achieve this. Im beyond impressed dude. Fingers crossed for the giveaway
Man I would love a car like that what a beautiful thing. Something like that should be cherished and taken care of but also driven.
In 2000, I was 18 and this was my dream car and build. It's gorgeous and has been a blast to follow the progress. Front to back, it is perfect! Inspiring and motivating, thanks for your efforts, Matt!
Aw, man. I was going to say that. I love this Civic, damn it! Is this normal? iVTEC.. do you?
I am probably if not the biggest close to being the biggest 2000 Blue Honda Si lover. Your story brings back amazing memories as I too had one in my high school years and I thank you for taking me back. When I was 24 years old god blessed me with a beautiful daughter but didn't have dipper or milk money so had to sale my first love. Thank you again for taking the time to help some of us remember good times. One day if god gives me life, I will try to get my self again into another beauty 2000 Honda Si! Good Bless YOU!
every update on this car makes me want my 99 si back. Hard to believe its been 20 years since i had it. Hard to believe i am 43, lol. Great update . thanks
Time flies after your twenties
*CLEANEST BEST EM1 PROJECT IN RUclips, PERIOD.*
You have angered Alldayanthony
As old OG honda boy from the 90's I freaking love this built. The car is badass and there is no such thing as overdone , everything you did is what I what have done back in the day. Can't wait to see the ITR motor in the car.
I love this car. It puts a big smile on my face just seeing it. I almost bought one in this color. It was last one at the dealership in 2000. I regretted not getting it. I ended up buying a 2001 ex sedan. I will be trying to win this.
See, the problem with giving this car away, and its a dream of mine to own a car like this, is security.. Someone like me, who lives in an apartment complex, I would have to go out and pay for public storage at the very least as I do not have a garage. I would likely be targeted as well. If I won this car, I wouldnt tell anyone, and I might have to consider wrapping it or doing something to make it less noticeable for someone like me living close to the hood in Philly. Maybe Id consider stashing it up the Pocono's near my Vacation house and just drive it up there when Im on vacation.. Would def have to consider a ton of things. A car like this would be a bigger target than a Super car in my opinion. At least here where I live.
definitely, clean civics always get stolen
@@LuisJimenez-hh4qq Its because they are so easy to steal, and the black market is huge for their parts. They are easy and quick to get rid of. I caught a guy last month trying to break into my TYpe S.. He had a labtop and a Kpro with him.. Thats how crazy these thieves are getting with these Honda's.. I have a really good security system and wireless kill switch, so I can disable the car from my phone or computer. There is a guy "Coda5610", who bought a $40,000 700whp RSX, thing got stolen a week later.. Likely because put too much info out there about it.
Gone in 60 seconds
Sell it
@@Was-here2 that would suck tho to win such a beautiful car then sell it.. And I'd imagine this car would be a nightmare to sell for someone like me.. Like I dont have pull or connections with wealthier collectors and Id obviously want a fair price.. I wouldnt even know where to start with price, but its a $130,000 builds that would be lucky to see 40K in my opinion to the right buyer. I know its a super low mile Em1 chassis, so even those without work go for upwards of 10K.. With that supsension, sound system, paint, and everything else, Id want at least 40 for it.. But there may be a handful of people willing to pay that.
Sadly mine got stolen many years ago. Still miss that car, even with having the CR now. This build takes me back to what I wanted back then for mine.
I bought my 2000 Si when I was 18. Haven’t made much progress in the last 8 years but it’s my favorite car. Seeing your build is so inspiring. What a beautiful car. It looks perfect.
If you paint the underside of the hood, you should paint it the same blue as the rest of the car.
Leave the outside raw carbon but paint the underside to match the blue.
I had the same idea.
I can't wait for the give away... What a dream come true this would be. I had the Electron Blue 00 and unfortunately stolen twice while living in Miami, FL. Had Volks, Sparco Seats, Greddy Evo and a few other bolt ons. I think I would still have it if not for the total loss. The first time it was stolen, I lost the wheels and seats and then when it was stolen a second time, they took it all... Engine, Transmission, fenders, you name it :(
Love the videos Matt, thank you for everything that you are doing. I hope who ever wins it appreciates the nostalgia, thought, love and detail that you have put into it.
Wow just wow, everything thing on this car is absolutely perfect. Always wished I could have bought one when they where new.
Definitely what I imagine when I think about the dream Honda Civic. You’re doing an amazing job and hopefully one day I’m able to build something close to this. I currently have a White coupe but it’s nothing close to this
Wow, the cash cab guy is badass now
Man..I owned this same car in 2001...damn I miss my em1..I acquired my em1 because I bought a 2001 em2, it was stolen and crashed after I put 4000 miles on the od..the insurance check was for 16500.. I was able to find the car I wanted in the first place used for sale with 40000 miles..99 Honda civic Si electron blue..man the memories I had in this car...it was ultimately stolen as well, and recovered..put 10000 into it, had it for a few more years and blew the engine..sold the shell...Ill never forget the memories I had in that car..especially in the 2000s you were the man with this car...
Matt I doubt you will see this comment but they do make an adapter set so you can add center caps to those particular TE37's. Just thought I would pass the info along. This is by far the best representation of what is possible with the em1. I do wish you were adding a JRSC or something of the sort but this build is awesome regardless!
Your videos are incredible. I love your attention to detail and it would be amazing to work with you and learn everything the way you do it. There aren't many people nowadays that build cars with your attention to detail. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your world!
This car makes me nostalgic. Kind of like a first love. A new car can’t give you that. Fond memories of my Si. It’s amazing how this car is so loved by everyone. I want it please 😖😫😢
Sickest Honda I’ve ever seen. I Would love to cruise that car.
I've been lucky enough to travel to FL and meet John at LHT. He's fantastic and this build is legendary!! To say this is great work is an understatement.
John will definitely give it the LHT TLC. It's definitely in the best hands. Really enjoyed the episode when your S2K was down there.
Two suggestions although you already discarded the first one...
1. ITR or GSR subframe and steering rack.
2. Since you are getting the JDM ITR Swap you could consider performing a 5 lug swap and using the 36mm axles.
To go with this and keep making it the most expensive Si you would get
a) new wheel 15, 16 or 17 wheels
b) as a bonus you get the 11.1 front and 10.2 rear brakes.
To give this a special touch, I would upgrade the brakes once again to 11.8in RSX-S brakes in the front using new rsxs rotors, whichever spoon caliper kit comes for the Rsxs and new rsx-s front wheel hubs and bearings. I had this set up in the past along with the ITR 1in brake booster and mc which was awesome.
Ok enough , i know it is too late to suggest this, but worth a try if you are tempted.
Love the build, keep it up.
This thing is beautiful! Definitely a car to keep forever.
Do a carbon fiber trunk, it would clear the issue with the holes and in my opinion that year civic looks good with a carbon trunk.
Love this car!! I’m probably one of the youngest guys dreaming of it but lord that’s a beautiful car!!
This car is so damn beautiful. I love my 2020 Si coupe but this 2000 EM1 is my absolute dream car. Well done, man.
A mint EM1 like this couldn’t have gone to a more perfect home than Obsessed Garage. Hope she’ll see a comparable home.
That's the most beautiful car I've ever seen. And when you said type r engine and transmission, my heart skipped a beat. And the suspension, holy cow dude. Keeping the spoiler is definitely a good idea. It separates it from other civics.
@@majhorfrode2454 it is rather aesthetic though
The deepest i can go without rolling the fenders is 7.5. Even 8 pokes. Makes the deep dish look very complicated. I got 16x7.5 +40 konig Candy that are basically Work Meister S1 Reps. Look and fit GREAT!!!
That stereo shop truly bent you over. My very first car was a 97 civic and I'm a huge car audio enthusiast so I know how extremely easy it is to work on these cars. I can't believe they charged you that much thats insane.
Ha, ha... You clearly don't know who you are talk to. I know a little something about this stuff.
@@ObsessedGarage as do I lol spent a lot of time in spl and sq builds.
For interior you should type r gauge cluster and type r trim pieces. It replace all the plastic areas with “carbon fiber” trim.
Been watching for awhile, first time commenting. I really appreciate your attention to detail and your o.c.d. on every little thing. I love hondas. And the si was my dream car as a kid. And still is I would have to say. Thank you for the content you put out. I can't wait to see it done and watch you drive it and enjoy it after everything you out in. Looking forward to it all.
Absolutely love this build, and absolutely love that you're an OG Honda bro. Clean and simple build, with quality parts. Awesome stuff man.
man LHT. I want an s2000 just so they can work on it lol. the only non-garage DIY shop youtube channel I watch. they will take good care of that car
For what it’s worth, I really enjoy these types of give away projects. Hopefully you can get the return you need so we can do another one.
Obsessed Garage never messes around. What a gem after all the tlc it has been given :)
Love what you have done with the car and kept it stockish makes me think back when this car came out i always wanted one but never got the chance to own one but great job this is a car that should be babied for years to come
Man this has got to be one of the most incredible cars I've ever seen. Thing looks brand new.
Wow this is how it's done.
Nothing like breaking out the red ink years later and "getting it right"
LHT are undoubtedly the most obsessed honda guys around and putting it in their hands is brilliant plan. Wish there was a toyota tuner around comparable to them.
The master cylinder upgrade will really help brake feel assuming it’s got a larger take-up cylinder at least. Huge difference on my 128i when I put in larger calipers and upgraded to the 135i master cylinder. Sounds like that’s the only real weakness about the car that you mention.
You don't need to change the whole rack and pinion to get a better ratio! Just change the pinion. Get one for an integra and have them put it in when the engine is out. I've heard the 97 itr pinion gives the best ratio but I'm not 100% certain whether that's true or not. I DO know the integra pinion will give a better ratio than stock though. Love these videos and look forward to seeing more 👍
A spoon carbon front lip would really polish that early 2000 golden era Honda look. Maybe source a spoiler less OEM trunk? I love this series great content
Your attention to detail is incredible!
Keep in mind the cutoff-line of JDM headlights is made for driving on the opposite side of the road. That means the elevated portion of the cutoff will be on the traffic side instead of the shoulder side. You may notice less visibility of road signs at night, as well as oncoming traffic sometimes flashing you with their brights (cause they think yours is on). Probably not a problem these days since everyone else is driving SUVs and trucks.
This would be the sunday car... Cali summer time Sunday vibes 🌞 🌴
such a beautiful and clean civic, can't wait to see what other projects you'll be working on in the future!
7 SETS OF WHEELS! MAN THIS IS FREAKIN WILD DUDE!
LHT for the win!!!!
I think I'm one of the few that actually understand this car. The FA5 (2007-11 sedan si) is literally the EM1 for my generation, if I make it in life, I'd do the same thing Matts doing with this car. I got an FA5 right now but I don't have the money to build it to my standards like he's doing so I've kept it stock instead.
Dark blue is always a win color
Little Honda bro checking in
i really love this si always wanted one as a kid maybe one day but I love how you are building it the same way I would. keep it up you inspire me
I appreciate the fact that when you refer to ApeXi, you pronounce it properly (the "i" is separate from Apex). You know you're an old Honda head when you say it correctly. All these young kids think it's Apexzee lol.
Man I love this car. Ever since I first saw it on bat. Its just so clean.
That lift looks soooo nice to work with
Clear the hood and and some gold metallic flake to it. Did it to my Integra CF hood and against the carbon fiber woah!
Sick! LHT does amazing jobs. Can't wait.
Hello! From Jacksonville Fl and with a JDM Honda logo on my forearm, I am completely obsessing over this build! Wonderful job it’s everything I would do (if I had the money) and I love the fact that everything you do is neat and clean! Please keep up with the great content! Whoever wins this car will be very very lucky.
Matt should consider raffling the M3. If so, im all in for that. I just love what he did to it.
I wanted to something like this on my civic and the only reason I chose not to was because it wasnt an SI, and someone else would have molested it anyway so why not make it me. My dad had leased it out new in 97, the motor went out and now we are under the knife for a K24a, but still OEM+.
But id love to have a car like this. Such a beautiful example its so perfect how it is.
1988 Senior year Garvey High, where all the guys were corny but the girls were mad fly.
A Masterpiece. Gosh this car is just so perfect.
Amazing job so far been following this since the first pick up. This might be the first giveaway I enter, the attention to detail is superb.
You're living what everyone dreams doing one day, going all out.
Beautiful car!!! Always wanted one ! Makes me wanna get one even more !
I miss seeing these on the road all the time...
The oem honda radio form the 90s is one few awesome oem car radio getting hard to fine
Im in love with this Em1, i've been seeing this car for quite awhile on your videos, you have a nice taste in mods, I really hope I win this mint car!
This civic is absolutely phenomenal. Goals like fuck.
SUPERRR CLEAN BUILD!
im 19 now with a 2020 civic si coupe ... and i still jam A Tribe Called Quest lol
Good job on the car...I’m about to put mine up for sale, not happy about it but i have no choice. Can’t wait to see this when it’s done.
Man you made me fall in love with this car!
Dude, this is THE DREAM CIVIC SI 🤩
This car is BEAUTIFUL!🥲
this really is a great build and story
Nice Matt. Can't wait to watch John's videos on the build for the B18 motor.
Me too!
Like falling in love all over again. That car is perfect.
Beautiful blue EM1
i thought i saw a minnesota plate, never seen a civic that clean up here, props.
That's one well done civic.
It's not done quite yet!
It's coming out amazing! Maybe one day, she'll come back home to Minnesota to join her sister that I own!
Man I can’t wait to see The Lht videos..... sitting on the edge of my chair.
Obviously I would love to own this car, but sadly, security will always be an issue. Part of me hopes you keep it, because all the “little Honda bros” would know it’s safe. Lol. Kinda neat to love vicariously through you. We know the car is in good hands. 🙏🏽
Having this is would be way better than having a supercar 😍
This car is perfect literally perfect.
Spoon wheels, but I’m old school
I would love to have this beauty.
I could see that the tyre wheel combination setup process is driving you nuts, cuz I used to be at work thinking about why certain tyres just don’t go with the wheels I had back then as I never had the crazy choices you do, lol
Hope we get a fender roll video. That guy is so precise.
I hope the winner won’t ruin it
My dads friend has a purple one that is in amazing condition and the same spec to and its a si too
Little Honda Bro here. - Thank you
I really hope it ends up going to someone who will appreciate the amount of time and effort that was put into the build. And above all else, a safe neighborhood.
