Anybody who doesn't get it hasn't tried it, or only likes going fast in straight lines. 250HP from a super high revving N/A 4 cylinder in a chassis that weighs sub 2400lbs is glorious in the twisties. It's a visceral experience you just can't quite match in most modern cars.
That look on your face was just like mine every time I drove it. 😄 A very good B road car, will hold its own against 350-400bhp modern hot hatches and still be a demon on track.
@@BigDaddy-kx9cx not sure myself however it would be a great car to track. Think it would hold it's own against 300hp modern hatches. On b roads not in a straight line
These k20 are easy to find in the UK? Here in italy they are very rare or they go for around 2k with 200k km I'm bored of my 270hp gpunto Abarth, Lightweight NA Is the way for b-road fun
Best video in a while mate , loved it , great to see you get and understand what makes Hondas so special. I’m proud to be a Honda enthusiast with a great love for all JDM 😎👌🏻 Ps... the ek9 featured was Perfect ❤️
I'm surprised a lot more people haven't been working on Ram-Air Innovations. I'd turn my whole Hood into a low-pro scoop that funnel down to a directly into the intake. Experiment with & without intercooler. You could probably get enough boost to read on a boost gauge at high enough speeds.
Yup these type Rs are made for B roads , I now live in London where I can’t even hit the Vtec because there is another massive speed bump in front of me, one after the other, I do take my car to the more rural areas sometimes and it’s were it really shines
Anthony Belton-Ford yup speed cameras speed bumps 20mph, im in Islington the first London borough to make 20mph lol, I hate being a car guy and living around here, will move out one day soon
I like a fast naturally aspirated car feel. Even though it's not high-horsepower it's fun doing a controlled 9000+RPM gear banging. Turbo cars can be too violent and sketchy. If I was a rich car guy I definitely fully build a very nice N/A build k20c, k20a2 with high compression pistons in GSR/Civic street car. K24 N/A would be cool but I'd want to close the hood cleanly.
How about a review with a K20 swapped into a Lotus Elise / Exige S1 & / S2. Heck even better would be a Supercharged K20 in a Lotus Elise / Exige S1 & / S2 on those B roads Jamie??
I'm a new driver and I want to buy an EG Civic. How much should insurance be typically? I received a crazy figure from Adrian Flux classic car insurance of £13K
Rakhin Amin go to confused.com or comparthemarket.com, put all your info in and it’ll search hundreds of insurance companies and come back with the cheapest.
Ayeee old jamie is back! This is the sort of content you do best at imo.
Yess
Best car every 18 year old need #cheapinsurance
Keep it up!

That short throw shifter is so beautiful it might as well be put in an art museum
Love this type of content not just fords ,, drive her in the redline Jamie 🤷♂️
Your joy - I was able to show and explain the feeling we get driving our cars
Yassss! Bring back more Hondas! Especially K swaps

Miss my B16b EK9 but this thing seems to be a masterpiece!
John Tran you would love to drive it
Love the EK9 vid. Just starting my own EK project. Any chance for another EK9 T-shirt release? K swapped EK would be nice:)

The exhaust sound at cold start is so good.lol
What a car!😮👌🏻 and bloody Quality video!🔥👏🏻 Asbo Jamie loosing his shit over a car...welcome back mate this is what we came to see👊🏻🔥
Nice video, but playing music over the exhaust note ruins it a lot.

Where in London? Its tough. 20 mph roads everywhere and speed cameras
Anthony Belton-Ford yup speed cameras speed bumps 20mph, im in Islington the first London borough to make 20mph lol, I hate being a car guy and living around here, will move out one day soon
Absolute driving machine great vid Jamie 👍👍
Finally... a video that isnt just about Fords!
Nice vid you are correct about na cars on B roads !!! If it makes you smile you got the right car !!!

2020 eg ek still life
I traded my 03 Nissan Xterra for 96 4door civic DX with a/c and heater. Pretty excited to get back in the game
That sounds intoxicating!!! Luv it !!!!!
Clearly someone has money, Honda owners wet dream
5:49 Cargasm.. - Love it mate xD
FACTS !!!!👍👍🙏💪💪💪

Fair play that is an epic car, more than enough power in a lightweight fwd car for smashing the b roads.
Paradise in a garage!!!! If I can only be so lucky 🍀
Ay DMOs just got one of these ! Sick
TH BULLDOZER I think this is the one dmo bought
@@cw4910 No this isn’t the same one
Love abit of Honda it's making me want a Fn2 and go turbo eventually always fancied one lol civic love very class :')
Awesome vid again Jamie . Whens the wrap reveal ?
Liked and subscribed, love the enthusiasm
Just got a ej9 1.4i as my first car love it !
Xavi Watson - was mine too, knock that body and listen to the noise... then lock a German or newer Honda..... made of paper 👀 stay safe in it DYOR
That’s the formula right there
niiice, have you considered doing another video on a prelude? Its been 5 years since the last one :D
This thing had to be a blast to drive!
Yes, it is one bad ass build. 💯👍👍👍
How easy is to swap it ? You need different engine and transmission mounts ?
Coolest civic of all time
What a machine, nice one jamie
Beautiful car. What are the wheel/tire specs, por favor?
"Not running anything standard"
What cams has it got in then???
What synthetic engine oil do you guys recommend for that b series, k series racing life & long drives ?
@S Y worn ring(s) on block, had to upgrade to Royal Purple 5w30, gets the job done
You need one!!
nice civic!!
I Really in enjoyed Watching the Amazing Vlogs Good Content 😎

Try some specialists too, companies like admiral are cheap but they are total shit as insurance companies
Could you share link of your Honda steering wheelv
2 ctrs in onw garage is a mans wet dream
I see honda, i press like
How's the fuel economy on this beast?
Is it worth £12k though do you recon?
All these JDM cars are only going up in value.
Kerrin Marr yeah progressively. 12k is a big ask for the current market imo
@@iamrimmer_5851 aye my mate has a civic jordan with a k20 engine tuned to 550bhp it's worth about 20k
Gusboi Mackie people are asking 20k for standard ek9 rx now. So i retract this and £12k is a good price 😂😂
@@iamrimmer_5851 yeah they are hard us fuck to find if I could afford one I would get 1
They go as well as any turbo
They go fine supercharged aswell as turbo’d but going booster route is just a whole different league
little did we know gears and gasoline are doing the same swap
What’s ur exhaust
I'm in love.. perfect .. perfect
What kinda shifter is that ?
K tuned shifter
For once the title isn't bollocks, this really is the best type r
Anybody know who owns this car now?
A3?
You could also LS Swap 🤷♂️
Honda for all
Does the owner want to sell?
Michael Goodwin it’s for sale, seen it on Facebook
Love it!!! 😃😃😃👍🏿 there's One here in Canada by Speed Academy check it Out
