The Honda community welcomes you back with open arms! Let’s do this!
My boy!
I thought about your channel the second I saw the civic with an OEM lip
I never thought id see you here checking out Matt!
We do welcome you cant wait for this build so excited
Aaaaayy not surprised to see you here haha
Jeez, I am looking forward to this build.
I would honestly want this car as stock as possible but that’s me
like seriously its suuuuper clean
I agree. Dude shows off super cherry EM1 SI and immediately plans on dicking with it. One sold last year on BaT with 74k mi for 15k. Just buy any 96-00 coupe and start there. What a shame.
@@BK_BT the only little issue I have is swapping the motor. I would hate the idea of mileage on the chassis and the mileage on the original motor being different. But other than that I agree.
@@BK_BT I suppose that would be an interesting way of going about and a good series of videos. Apologies for coming off crass. You made sound as though the engine would be sold to offset a C1 na build, assumed other parts would follow. On one hand it's already been messed with to a minor degree, what's a few more but on the other it's fairly rare to find a low milage SI that hasn't been modded into oblivion or wrecked. Personally, I want to see both done, ha ha. The older I get, the purist I become but I'll never lose my love for Honda modding. I drove a swapped 96 for 10+ years and am eager to see what you do with a C1. What made you choose a C1 over H22? *Dredging up 20+ year old debate lol.
Who cares it’s a civic lol
"Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust."
Streets closed , pizza boi
I laughed at this as little too hard tbh.
Has any youtuber actually bothered to use the F&F quote and fit all those parts to a civic to see how fast it is?
Have to change all usernames to JDMatty boiiiiii
🤣🤣🤣
💀
Not sure why I doubted for even a moment you’d go with te37’s.
As “common” as they are for modified tuners there really is no other choice. They’re just perfect. Very much looking forward to this build
16" Regamaster Evo's in gunmetal look amazing on EM Civics as well.
Patrick94GSR he said he’d get the Spoon wheels, they’re basically the same wheels as Regas and came from the same factory in Russia
Patrick94GSR Name looks familiar, T-I.net?
I agree I would do regas or Advans. But that's me everyone runs te's
@@teggsrb18c1 I was never really active on Team Integra. Been on Honda-Tech like 19 years probably 40K posts. I mostly only post in GDD these days which doesn't add to post count.
Now that’s a REAL car. I honestly hate people think all vtecs and just civics in general are fart cans. They are beastly.
Still fart cans little boy
Keep the spoiler jesus christ. That alone makes the SI
Absolutely keep the spoiler! Without that, it's not an Si. Especially when it came like that from the factory.
I agree. It’s not an SI without the spoiler.
I agree 10000000% has to keep the spoiler! Best spoiler ever made for civic!
One thing I can say an respect about this man. He is fortunate and blessed to own higher end cars but still has a soft spot for Honda’s. It is sad how some folks forgot where they came from after they get to a certain level in life which is understandable but a worth of a car is more than a brand and $$$ but more so the impact it has on an individual.Hope to meet you one day Matt just to pick your brain and learn a lot from you.
This is how you know you made it in life. Going back a few decades to make things right!!
This will decimate all, after, you put about fifteen grand in it or more. If we have to, overnight parts from Japan.
Jappann
how original
You work for Harry right. You were just fried
Stick it on my tab at Harry's
I would literally just leave it alone...
You must be new here
@Brandon Tran Agreed.... this car is molested enough as it is. I would have sourced all OEM parts and removed every last bit of aftermarket nonsense that was left on it. Including finding an OEM cloth interior.
Brandon Tran then don’t watch it idiot
Lamao. You guys just say that cause you guys can’t get QUALITY PARTS. For this car. If you put some good parts these car become even better than they already are. Saying that just because this dudes putting good quality parts is molesting it makes you guys sounds like idiots. He’s gonna change out the exhaust system. Bits of the interior and better the shit out of the handling. What’s wrong with that Lamao.
Had the exact same car - bought new in ‘00. This is nostalgic for me so I’m looking forward to seeing the build.
Bryan same here. I had the last 99 model in electric blue to roll off the line. Ordered it and Waited 4 weeks for it arrive. The dealer had a red and black one in stock but I wanted the the blue. had it 5 years. Got non stop compliments on the color.
Same here but Flamenco Black Pearl. Always jealous of the EBPs, gorgeous color...unfortunately, also screamed "steal me!" as many Sis also were at the time.
Almost bought one of these in 2003 but ended up with a '95 SC300 instead. I'm sure I would have crashed an Si, but had I not, would have kept it a very long time.
Same here. Bought my Black 2000 December 13,1999. My story is very similar to Matt’s. I added the obligatory stereo lol. And of course the black Honda OE trunk spoiler. Love these cars.
I had one also 00 em1 ebp si,04 rsx-s,91 crx sir-t, 97 Del sol si, 03 civic si k24/k20 itb, 93 and 95 civic ex/si h22 h2b,and sohc 1.6 , 93 HD hatch b18c5r, and 04 TSX-s 6 speed conversion to euro r accord ima Honda boi
I would 100% keep the spoiler on this beauty!
this is about race wars." "Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec exhaust."
He moans like a cop!
Motec system exhaust*
LOL !!!!
they really need to do a gag where they load up all the parts into Michelle's recently dialed-in Raptor and then roll up to the garage with the "crew" i.e. Kyle's GTI and Bryce's MX-5. hahaha
I believe it’s a “motec system exhaust” to you cuz
Greddy exhaust, AEM intake, JL 10 W7, literally everting I had on mine 🤯. This is unbelievable. $25k for a museum quality example of a car is not the worst thing in the world.
I wanna ditch my 10w3's and just do a single 10w7 in a custom box that eliminates the spare tire area and sits flat flush... how would you say a single 10w7 sounds compared to a pair of 10w3's if both were given about the same amount of power?
I say detail the stock engine and have someone build a beautiful engine stand, that way the new owner can have a really nice piece of decor for their garage.
TE37’s. Spoon. Toda. Matt I am so excited about this build.
I have a E46 M3, Ap1 S2k and a EM1... I live for these cars... pure nostalgia...
This civic is beautiful, too bad nowadays they aren’t as beautiful as these.
not mention the 1.5 turbo engine its horrible
The EM1 is the nostalgia car for everyone man. I'm building one for that reason!
Never clicked so fast 😂 Bring it on!
As someone who owned a 01 ITR back in the day, I'm absolutely in love with this build! I cannot wait to see the next video!
I've had my em1 11 years now and mannnnnn I'm so excited to see this. PLEASEEE LEAVE THE WING ON!!. But I love the carbon hood and CTR headlight ideas so far. You earned a new subscriber
gizmo when he said he was gonna go back to a wingless trunk I was disappointed
@@dylanjavonillo4475 same. Also with a low mileage car and matching vins on the body panels. It hurts to see the engine being swapped aswell
@@idontlikecops1 keeping the engine so the new owner can put it back if they want to.
Ed Bolian would be disappointed with the negotiation process of this car 😂
@@arrivalanche He seems happy with the car, and it really is in pristine condition. With the purpose of this car, think he did fine.
We settled right in the middle at exactly their asking price 🙈
Shrwed negotiating was not what this dude majored in.
Sweet Matt. When I was 19 - the very first brand new car I ever bought was a 1997 Civic HX coupe manual. Put 140k miles on it. Will always love these cars.
Mugen mf10 wheels: period correct AND best wheel made for this car.
Only issue there is you have to use mf10L for 4 lug which is 15”. Mf8 is 16” and would be perfect. Really hard to find now though. I still have a set thankfully. Te’s are always classic.
The nostalgia I’m going through right now is incredible… SI civic… Hot Import Nights… Sick stereo system... I’m very surprisingly excited. Matt we may have lived in a parallel universe!
6:13 Delivery supposed to take 4 weeks, but it took 2 days ?!
The Carrier guys also want to see this project done 😂
I had freight scheduled delivery in 3 days, well hot shot driver had it delivered to me next day. From Tucson, AZ to Dallas, TX.
If this doesn’t have a Spoon engine then... idk
who cares
@@iluvmyeski Hector
@@B95_P Underrated comment :)
Tavarish is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with Spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec System exhaust.
Moshimoto ZX tires
Sign me up for this. I fell in love with this car when I started playing Need For Speed Underground 2. There was an architect in my city who owned one and I met him at a detailing place where I took my dad's vehicle that day. At that moment, the engine bay was being cleaned (first time I saw that process btw). He was kind enough to walk me through his stock car. He ended up modifying the car with carbon body pieces and other stuff that took the car to another level.
I got mine March of 99. I had a DC Sports 4-1 header and exhaust with AEM CAI. I had MSD wires, Denso Ir plugs and a B@M adjustable fuel pressure regulator/riser. It was never a fast car. About 15.4 second ET in Arizona, but I loved it!
Haven't watched your videos in months but I'm back for this
Yeah buddy!
Since my Civic got totaled this would be an ideal replacement.
I had a 99 civic lx when I was 21 and have wanted a 99-00 Si ever since. This would be the jam.
I lusted after this car strongly in high school. Very cool to see such a clean example.
I love that you don't listen to the public outcry. It's literally "I'm gonna do this because I can. This is what I wanted to do when I was younger. I'm recording it and sharing it with you."
I love this ish.
This is going to be a fun build! 🤙🏼
Congratulations
You should have LHT build you a custom exhaust, they’ll get the sound right
Hope it goes there for tuning!
Apexi Ws2 sounds perfect! I had one but had to sell it for college beers back in the day haha
Things to add: ASR rear brace, 22mm rear sway, and SiR Canadian cluster!
No to the Honda badges. Currently own a JDM DC2 Type R, so I’m very excited for this project!
Can’t wait to see what you do to this. 🔥🔥
Dustin reveals his s2k last night and now this, I’m super excited to see where this is going
S2k is a girls car
john cuervo well he said he bought it for Tiana 🤣 and then goes ahead and make it a track build 🤣🤣
I'll buy the mud flaps and that spoiler if you're not gonna use them! I'm in the same boat, sold my z06 and picked up an EM1 to build. Can't beat a Civic for investment to fun ratio haha.
I’ll add that listening to your choices in parts this is way way way more exciting than any exotic to 99% of us.
Adam LZ buddy (Chris Rudnik)- Ricer Miata-YT was looking for a clean motor for his CRX that he is restoring that motor would suit him well if you do decide to sell it.
So rudnick can blow it up
He is going k20 with the crx now that he put gsr in the ricer civic
The car looks incredible; excited for the series.
Man!!!! It's like deja vu watching you walk around this car.. love the car man looks so great but I have the exact same ones but the original rims got stolen so I have some aftermarket on there but rather than that same exact car LOL
Keep the wing, no red Honda badges. I dig the period correct, dream early aughts build approach. I want to win this already.
Just pay $20 for each entry
Bought a 2019 si last year for 24k that’s crazy
Was thinking the same here... Does this car can really reach 20k and 25k, when he said that on the video a was WTF!!
Awesome!! Cannot wait to see the transformation Matt!!
I'm calling it now - this guy has a time machine - that Civic is PRISTINE!
Working at a McDonald’s while helping my mom and little sister hope one day I can get this car it’s my dream car barely turned 18 been working since I was 14 I will get this car one day ❤️
Very much looking forward to this build Matt. Inspired me to build my ej8 as well. 27k miles man... WOW
I bought this car 2000 and it's still one of my fav. now I want 2013 m3 blue , I somehow think they are similar in body shape
This is great! I had a 42k mile 99 SiR I sold a few years ago. I just bought another Integra Type R last night. Can’t wait to have all the VTEC again.
As a 50 year old honda lover for life. I will be glad to buy those stock headlights from you for my em1
Matt now wants to live his life a quarter-mile at a time. He used to live his life one foam-wash at a time.
@RICARDO haha I still remember running 15.0 at 92.7 MPH (yes I remember the exact ET and trap speed lol) in my almost bone stock Integra GSR, with only suspension modifications. That was like 15 years ago. Just a touch better 60' time and I would have been in the 14's.
This is amazing
Had a 99 model same color. Loved it. Made a few mods. Lowered, exhaust, intake, etc. Went to all the shows. HIN, NOPI Nationals in Atlanta. Did the super street tour to NOPI. Seems like yesterday. Simpler times for sure.
To those talking about him messing with a nice em1, you have to understand... this is a nostalgic project for him. He wants to make the car what he wanted it to be when he was 20. Also, he’s Matt Moreman, so it has to be stupid clean.
Consider me one of the “crankies”. You’re killing me. I’ll give you $26k.
Dude I'm with you. This one is too nice to mess with. Put a million miles on it and take car of the thing, don't bastardize the thing
To my knowledge there is only one em1 with fewer miles. He is going to ruin this car.
i WANT IN!
I paid $29,000 for my 18k mile s2000 about a month ago and i don’t regret a thing. seriously looking forward to this build!!
Hell yes!!! Love the SI. If you're going for OEM/period correct, then leave the spoiler on it and don't put red honda badges on it (leave those for the type r).
Can’t wait for John at LHT to put his hands on this amazing machine!
David Hernandez is he doing the work?
edasheg6 13:32
"I bet you he's got more than 100 grand under the hood of that car." Let's make it this car.
Matt is doing car audio again, yes!!! Win!!! One of the first videos of his I ever watched was the audio install on the blue gt3 back when it was Matt Morman not Obsessed Garage. I learned so much from those videos.
OMG I'm so pumped for this. Had an Ex for my first car and spent years converting it since I couldn't have an Si. Can't believe you found one that clean and original. The car helped me get over the loss of my father as I had engineered 2 DIY turbo kits. I spent countless nights researching everything and the pinnacle of my build was making 200whp with a D series that could run down 4.6L mustangs (made with mostly cheap or junkyard parts of course). Eventually the car led me to become an automotive tech, and then working for an independent Honda shop, and eventually buying that shop.
“It’s going to auction soon” oldest car salesman trick in the book.
No, it was already in the process. I know that for sure.
I assure you this was the last of the dealers concerns on his lot and I still thank he left money on the table at 25k. Not much but between 25-30k... if it he 0 rust. I am a dealer and sold one that was rough a few months back, but was stock with 0 issue.
For the love of God and everything on this earth, Keep the spoiler! and please go for the Spoon Sw388s! thanks!
I might go broke on entry's when you go to give this one away, this generation of civic holds a special place in my heart. I'm excited to watch this build!
Can't wait for the giveaway banner...100k Civic giveaway...your commitment to going all in is amazing
15:45 “overnight parts from Japan”
Yes! Love it!
JUST MAKE IT OEM PLUS no rise, carbon fiber hood, trunk, etc. My em1 was type r theme ; s2000 steering wheel, type r door cards, type r seats, Mugen twin loop exahust.......end more cant remember.
This cars are hard to find , I can't find a clean one
Mat, the nostalgia makes me wanna cry. I Will never forget the day I walked into a dealer and went for a test drive in a mint, imported JDM spec SIR that only had 28 000 km on the clock. This thing was pulling hard even at past 8000rpm. The experience turned me into a hardcore JDM fanboy who would go on to own 3 civics. The only other non-Honda car I've driven, that has a motor that matches B16/b18 for character must the e90 m3 with the s65 !!!. Good luck on this build, cant wait to see how it turns out. All the way from South Africa
This car is absolutely beautiful. Please, consider keeping the spoiler. It came that way from the factory, and it wouldn't be the same without it. Personally, I would build a B20 VTEC for this particular car if you are staying NA, or keep the B18 block, and run a Brian Crower stroker kit and make the motor 2 liters. It's not a 2000 lb hatchback, so it's better to have more Torque, especially when you are adding weight with a huge subwoofer and box. I'm the same age group, and had similar cars with big stereos when I was in highschool, so I think we have a ton in common. I owned a 94 Civic Hatchback with a JDM B18C w/ LSD transmission back in the day with basically full bolt-ons and some suspension done. It was a wonderful car to own and work on. I had it for 10 years and got rid of it when I had my first kid. I still miss that car terribly everyday, and the urge to build another Honda grows stronger every day. I already put a big stereo in my truck just for fun. Got on Orion XTR 2500.1 for $339 and it puts out well over 3,000 watts @ 1 ohm at 13.8v. It powers 2 American Bass XR 12"s in a 4 cubic ft ported box. Really powerful system, and it was really inexpensive. Since the amp and subs cost so little, I was able to get extra goodies. Ran all 2/0 pure copper welding cable for everything, crimped copper lugs, 300 amp alternator, 2 extra group 31 AGM batteries. It gets LOUD!!!
I think Spoon currently has the most expensive Honda Civic build which apparently costed $150,000 to build.
yeah built by legends is building a spoon civic and a mine's gtr both cars are going to be insane
Spoon ep1 might be the best ep1 ever.
First...ah who cares
camver dont watch?
Fastt C don’t you love it when the joke goes right over your head.lol
camver dang that was so funny it wasn’t.
I love your ideas for this build! I had a 95 civic coupe when I was 18 and I always wanted to do a build like this but didn't have the money for it. Love this video!
We would have been best pals growing up. EM1 and S2000 were my childhood and my father wouldn't cosign. So I head off to the military a year after my friend bought two of the first S2000's to arrive in the eastern USA in 1999. That was where my love for them came from. I deploy and the young tuner life was over as Fast and Furious culture kind of ruined it ....lol Now I am almost 40, married, and starting to slowly get back in to all of the things I enjoyed before adulthood. I just purchased a 30k mile stock 07 S2000 that is currently underway. I put 20k miles on it in 8 months so now I am hunting an EM1 for my daily to take the mileage off my s2k. It will wait until the money is right again, but definitely going with the electric blue or black. Somehow my research keeps taking me back to you, and I hear this story and was kind of wow'd. I don't know who you are but I am subscribing because you are cool....lol
You are truly living the '90s-kid dream!
Yep...
Man! I am having flash backs to my 16yr old self. I always wanted this car! I had a 1998 EX and my brother in law had the 2000 Si and I always wanted the electron pearl blue 2000 Si!!! Your living my dream!
Unexpected but happy to see this on the channel. My dad bought a NBP DC2 ITR brand new in 2001 and your story about the one at the dealer reminded me of our experience in picking his up.
Every word you said is my built but stock goosebumps every word . A grow up Car built yes indeed . Please don’t go too aftermarket with it . Keep in mind that it is a time capsule . And the whole k series thing on ek eg EF chasis needs to stop this chasis you get the real feel with time period of engines rising for those chasis . When you change mount and cut is DONT MEANT TO BE THERE . I’m so glad I heard you said LHT Florida . I have so much respect for them they know the clean game . Thanks for sharing bro!
Man brings back memories. Had a 95 civic HB, and did a b16, b18c, and finally did b18cR and then sold it. Miss that car, and this is beautiful!!
Just discovered your channel because I've been looking to get an EM1 in the UK. So excited to watch all these videos, sounds like the perfect build.
White regamasters please! And Jdm folding mirrors! My dream car back in the day, always preferred this over the dc2
I own this exact color sans wing. And frankly me and you have a similar philosophy: 200 is a good, fun, reliable number out of the B16A2.
My baseline was set with a 2018 SI turbo, not so sure putting a turbo on a B16 sounds appealing anymore, when Honda already basically did a 20-ish PSI setup from the factory. Sure the L15B7 had no VTEC, this is how I imagine a Turbo B18B LS build feels.
My very first Honda was an Acura Integra RS. Loved the car so freaken much. This EM1 is probably the only car i would take in blue. My daily is 2013 Honda Civic SI in Rallye Red. Just hit 60k miles recently
I was in 2nd grade in 2000, but when I got into cars I always wanted to experience owning a civic si. I’m so excited for this series.
YESSS! Had a black ‘00 DC2 GSR with not much more mileage than your EM1, those DOHC VTEC memories 🇯🇵
No way doing all period correct NA motor is controversial at all. That’s ideal and what makes Honda, Honda. Fun reliable economical cars. Honda’s are under appreciated and awesome set of wheels for anyone. Glad to see you’re doing this it’s going to be awesome
PS keep the spoiler
My first car was a 3rd generation prelude, 91 si. I now have a 2000 ek. I love driving my kids around in it. Would love to have this car. It would go to a great home...
I had a 2000 B95-P Civic Si as well. I regret selling it to this day. I had Bronze CE28s 15’s along with dozens of other mods. May want to give the Bronze wheels a look, the color combination is absolutely sensational. Wish I still had that car
Only the Spoon twin block calipers will bolt onto the EM1 front knuckle assembly. You can get away with using 2007+ Mini Cooper base 280MM front brake rotors if you're staying 4x100, or get a special 4x100/114.3 brake rotor from Spoon. You can also do a 5 lug conversion from a DC2/EK9 in where Spoon twin block calipers will also bolt onto the front knuckle. Spoon monoblock calipers are meant for the newer Honda chassis (DC5, CL9, FG/FA, AP1/2 etc.)
Alright Matt - I am definitely not a Civic guy. I wouldn't pay more than 5 grand for that Civic let alone 25. BUT... I'm a fan of this process of buying an "enthusiast car" and then doing a major project, finding the best parts, building it into the perfect vision and then selling it and starting over. I can get behind that. Excited for whats to come on this build. Maybe I will learn a thing or two about Civics!
I have never been more excited about a car on youtube. wow. Can't get over this.
Michael Phillips really? 25k for a used civic with 150 hp? 😂😂😂😂 what a joke of a car this is
Love this build! I myself in 2000, at the age of 19 bought a 1999 Civic EX, and the SI's were all the crave. I put soo much money into mine and sold it 2 years later....Looking back I wished I would of kept it..It was clean and very sleak, no crazy stupid looking stuff on it. Looking forward to seeing this build.
A dream ever since I was in highschool when it came out. A couple of my older friends had a few and they weren't even 21
This was my first car! I miss this car so much! 20 years later I wish I could own one this nice! I hope to own another EM1 some day!!! AMAZING! - If I could win this car, I would take it anyway you mod it! I know you will do an awesome job! I would promise to donate 25% of every paycheck for the rest of my life to charity...A different charity each year...
