All these other youtubers with immaculate units, brand new lifts and shiny rubber floors, yet you're there, car on bricks, no flashy equipment, putting out PROPER QUALITY videos and some of the best workmanship I've ever seen. This is some truly impressive stuff. Also, not having to wait 3 months to see one car seat installed is really refreshing. A whole car rebuild in one episode. Amazing
I completely agree man I enjoyed every second of the restauration process and the fancy équipement would'nt make the video any better it's perfect as it is.
So a car build which usually takes 20 episodes over a year has been done on 1 episode in 23 mins!!! That's why they say "You'll Never Beat The Irish"!!!! Amazing stuff, quality of videos is better than quantity!! Amazing work.
I was seriously drooling at every second of this video. Your skills are god-hand. Absolutely the most incredible single-handed restoration I've ever seen in my life! I wish I had 1/10th of 1% of your talent!
You removing that Logo from its shelf storage, cobwebs and all then pristinely placing unto the front of the car is like an adventurer finding a rare artifact from an ancient ruin then carefully placing it, thus making the restoration complete! Awesome video and excellent work you have done!
@@Str8Maddeness Brits can never afford to send them to scrapping site. All so broke and poor. 20 years from now it will be full of poor brits restoring tuktuk's. 50 years from now they go back to grass diet.
One of my favorite parts was when he pulled the emblem off the window sill out of the Cobb webs still new in the package, you know this car has been his dream, and he finally got to build and finish it, props to you on your build!!
I'm not much of a car guy or a honda fanboy but this was a superb bit of work. From the skill, knowledge, and determination to do all this, to the tasteful revival of a classic car. I love that you didn't go mad and basically just put it back together. Took off that awful wrap job, painted it a lovely white, refreshed everything, and left it as a pure job well done. Massive respect and thanks.
Yep, did the same with a 1996 VW Golf 3 Cabrio with a "rare" engine for the cabrio, the 1Z TDI. Best engine i ever had in a car and probably will have.
I had a 1994 Honda Civic EX sedan in college with a few minor mods.... air intake, cat-back exhaust, 17" rims.... she wasnt gonna win any races, but it was fun to drive. This really takes me back to those days. Awesome job!
@@AngelValdovinos that fact that you’d post “still slow” on a video of this caliber just shows how pathetic your mentality is. This is a fantastic transformation of a Type R that would otherwise be scrapped. This man put in countless hours and you take 5 seconds to bash him. Shame on you.
I worked for honda for over 13 years and I can say you do some great work. I have had a lot of different honda models and I really enjoy the ones you have worked on and transformed them back to basically new. Keep it up!
I'm speechless, for one at how whoever owned this legend could treat it the way it was treated, but mainly because of the simply incredible job you did at restoring it pretty much from 0-100! Incredible, I wouldn't hesitate a second to own this!
Well done saving this car. I personally imported a 1997 black EK9 from Japan to UK back in 1999/2000. Think it was the first black one in the UK at the time. Reg was R690 KVV. Cost me close to £14k by the time I got it on the road. A lot of money for a car like that back then. Absolutely loved it. Eventually sold it to a young US serviceman from Molesworth airbase. He had it a few years then sold it back to one of my best mates. He kept it for a few years then sold it to a lad from Ireland who took it back there. Don’t know what happened to it after that but hopefully its still about. I’ve had loads of cars since then but the EK9 is still one of my favourites. Amazed at the prices they command these days.
I actually can’t put into words how insane this rebuild was to watch. The absolute eye for detail and effort this must of taken is really impressive mate. I really found this video inspiring. Great work buddy.
Wow! That is one unreal transformation. 99.99% of specialists wouldn't have gone near that challenge with a barge pole but you took it on without a bother. Is this a hobby or is it a full time gig? You're gifted!

God bless you sir for saving this beautiful EK9 Type R. I've been wanting to own one of these my entire life. The closest I got was an EG6 with an Integra Type R engine and transmission. It was my favorite car that I've ever owned. Perfectly reliable and quick for what it was. I owned it and took great care of it for over 10 years and never let it get a single spot of rust. I never put a turbocharger or supercharger on it, so the best I was able to get was 180 horsepower at the wheels in N/A trim after some bolt on performance parts and weight savings. Still, it was great power for such a light car. I still miss that car to this day. The guy I sold it to for $6,000 ruined it in less than a month. First thing he did was rip the engine out to sell it and get most of his money back, and he put in a $400 B20 engine from a CRV. I think he meant to do a B20 Vtec with a B16 head, but it never happened. He tried to drive the car throughout the winter and quickly wrecked it in less than a month. It really upset me to see the car completely ruined in under 30 days after I spent over 10 years taking good care of it, swapping in the B18c and LSD transmission, upgrading the intake manifold to the Skunk 2 Ultra with port matched 67mm throttle body, all new hasport motor and transmission mounts, whiteline sway bars and end links, 5 lug conversion with brand new hubs and brakes front and rear from an Integra Type R, body work and new paint when I first got it, 2.75 inch exhaust from the headers back. I had the car tuned on a hondata S300 I had installed into the P28 Computer. You did a wonderful job restoring your rescued EK Civic Type R. I'm glad it was you that found it and saved it from becoming complete piece of scrap to be crushed. Extremely good restoration.
Niiiiiice...I can only wish & watch these jobs...Nissan has a de stroked 2.0 to a 1.6 that puts out 175hp...8200rpm engine non turbo...I can only dream of an engine like that...WHEWEEEE...ZIPPY...
My friend had 2000 Civic Si with Type R JDM engine/tranny swap supercharged, plus suspension, brakes, etc. Used it as track car. Then someone else bought it and crashed it. It was stinking fast. I know a Ph.D in physics and acoustics man, who still owns his track ready turbocharged Acura Type R - it's pretty much mint, accept for the track mileage. They even welded custom full exhaust based on program for Nascar cars. He also owns the original NSX.
I had two EG6s: a 1992 SiR II and a 1991 SiR. I've also owned a 2001 Integra Type R (DC5 model) and a 1997 Civic Type R. I currently own a 1996 Integra Type R (DB8). I love my DB8, but an EG6 with an ITR B18C swap is like my dream car. I will always have a soft spot for the EG6; and honestly, none of the Type Rs I have owned have ever resonated with me the way the EG6 has.
I’ve never watched a video where it’s one guy doing all the work, especially to that level of perfection. Awesome job and I hope you made a ton of money when you sold it!
I'm definitely not a import guy but the amount of skill, time and love that went into bringing this car back to showroom quality is excellent! Very nice!
So satisfying to see the previous owners' sins being undone bit by bit. Also, you didn't cheap out on any of the trim bits, some of them cost a fortune by now. Hats off to you!
I love how you involved your kids in the restoration. Some people would argue that’s not useful to them but I believe most of the viewers will agree that this was quality time spent with them doing something that you love
Gotta start somewhere! Im having a boy in April and I definitely plan to include him in things like this as he grows. I never had a father to do this kind of thing with so I wanna change that.
I was never interested in cars as a child but my younger brother was. He always helped dad with cars as a child and now he's got his own garage and car dealership. As for me, I'm using my college degree to wipe my butttt.
Even tho I can see the video, it is difficult to comprehend how it is possible to restore such a neglected vehicle. Amazing and brilliant. The talent, problem solving and will power it must take to create what is now a piece of drivable art is above next level. I hope one day this car might find its way into a museum. Bravo.
Not a big Honda fan but can really respect a compassionate and respectful restoration. No wraps, fart cans or silly paint job. Thing of beauty. Would happily drive about in that car.
Fair play. Most channels would've spread this build over many months and episodes. You deserve the view count alone for sticking it all in one video let alone the grind you put into the car. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
That white looks so much better than that black vinyl. And the fact he managed to fit the restoration into one video makes this channel one of the best on RUclips. Keep up the good work, mate!
I just love how he pays attention to every single detail on the car.... Wish I could get trained on how to rebuild a car from this expert.. Absolutely credible. Best in the world 🌍
What a legend. This has always been a dream of mine, to fully rebuild an iconic vehicle from scratch. This was an absolute treat to watch. Thank you for posting this!
totally agree. this was incredible. i'm doing exactly the same thing as well, but with a 1992 Celica ST185 All-Trac Turbo. Pulled it out of the dirt halfway burred in the woods. All 4 tires were seized as it was pulled onto the trailer. It takes incredibly hard work, I'm about a year and a half in now, still going. Rare car, even rarer year, even rarer color. It has to be worth it in the long run. 272k miles, sat 13 years, after i did the fuel lines, pump, gas tank it started up lol.
Got recommended this video and I absolutely love it the only thing off putting to me is the music in the background as someone who is a car enthusiast learning, building, fixing, restoring and trying to do the same things just hearing the raw audio of the process is so much more satisfying. nonetheless really great video and I appreciate art such as this.
Civic Type-R is one of my favorite cars, no matter the year. What you did with this one, was pure art. It's so good to see people with the know how, restoring "old" things that should be kept in good shape. 80's and 90's in my opinion were the best decades for car lovers and enthusiast, shame people that had one of these, in most cases don't give them the value they deserve in my opinion, they end like the one you restored. Last thing, you did all that without a lift, which would surely help a lot, my respect to you man.
It no doubt made a lot of Honda Civic Type R enthusiasts in the United States happy when Honda decided to start selling the Type R here in the United States in 2017.
That's honestly just beautiful, the effort and craftsmanship that went into this is phenomenal. Fantastic work my man, I understand things like these take a lot of time and resources to finish and it came out sick!
This was amazing. I could only wish to have a fraction of the time, talent, and knowledge that this guy has to not only accomplish an amazing project like this, but make a great you-tube video about it as well. Nice job
You'll be amazed what you can do the more you do something, everything comes from experience. You're absolutely right about something the "time". I have a evo 8 with a blown fp black turbo sitting in my garage for almost a year waiting on parts to come in. Now that I have everything to complete the job, I need to finish my garage to setup a 9 piece cabinet set so I can work on the evo comfortably, but have very little time.
Thank you for giving an old, almost ready for the scrapyard car a new lease of life which it rightfully deserves, instead of being abandoned and neglected. And what an amazing job watching it transform! If this civic could speak, it would thank you from the bottom of its heart I'd imagine.
I’ve been wanting to do this same build for the past 10 years. This just gave me so much motivation. You did such an amazing job. That car was destined to rust out and never see the road again. You not only brought it back to life but looks just as good as the day it was new. Once again amazing job
First of all, Your a wizard. I Couldn't even imagine the finished products quality. Secondly this was a complete story in one video which is rare you on RUclips. Are you keeping it?
As an FK8 owner, and Honda enthusiast of 16 years, this was insanely motivating. I live in the states, so acquiring an ek9 is near impossible unless I'm spending insane money. Thank you so much for this video, and for the motivation to build a clone over here (unless I can find a good deal on one).
@@axe2grind244 I managed to buy an ek9 from an old lady who stored it in her garage and drove it a few times a week. It only had 70k miles and perfect paint. all for 1k :)
Im not even a honda person but what you pulled out of those bushes was barely even a car, no matter the rarity. I am extremely impressed lol you did an amazing job 👍
I cannot put into words how awesome this is. I’ve always had a love for “Tuners” over “American Muscle” and this makes my heart happy. I’m in love with this car. I have always wanted a Honda Civic Type R, but being 6’5” it’s kinda hard to fit and be comfortable. Absolutely killed this build my guy. It was pleasant to watch, and I look forward to watching more in the future! Cheers!
I work for Honda and drive type r every other day! I stand at 6’7 and fit perfectly in them. My buddy is 6’6 and fits fine!! You shouldn’t have a problem so you should think about getting one
American muscle is trash imo. It's just a truck in a car shell. Tuners are way cooler. You take something so small and make it into a weapon. Literally good luck staying flat to the road in a hellish modded out eg or Ek hatch 😂 It's when they have big mufflers that aren't actually mufflers but 4 inch gaping hole chambers to make the sound ping off the stainless. I've had a big muffler on a civic and sounded amazing. Not farty at all
@@grahammypoo3994 think about getting one? Lol they aren't the most common around the world bro but I get ur comment. There's probably only 100 of them in Canada if that FFS. Maybe one day. The 99-00 Si-R is more common but even that is rare as fuck
I’m speechless… what an incredible resto. To say “it’s perfect” is a wild understatement 😳 absolutely beautiful Type R EK hatch got a 2nd chance at life, and went from forgotten scrap yard death, to now living a long privileged and pampered life 😂 Amazing work man 🙌🏼
The thing I love most about your restorations is that you do a really nice job, without being a perfectionist. A "good enough" job - and I mean that as a compliment. It reminds me that restoring my 98 hatcback is an attainable goal if I just want it to look good and enjoyavle again, without the expense and time of a "perfect" restoration. Love it man, thank you!
The respect I have for you is endless, this is the knowledge I wish school could teach and it’s amazing how you restored it which most would have put to the junk yard, I’m giving a subscribe for this👌
School 🤣 School has been proved obsolete for the last 25 years as internet and self education is so easy and free of charge schools are only there for compulsory brain washing to create good slaves because teaching children to become good factory workers has proven obsolete as well since that's no longer the economy we have.
I absolutely love that you've restored it back to stock. I'm sure a lot of people would have seen it in this condition and just gone "Track car!" and use it as an excuse to leave things in an inferior state. Though having that Bride seat would still have been cool.
What an incredible build. The attention to detail, the labor of love that was put into this, can tell that you put all your heart and effort into it, and it came out amazing ❤🔥
Incredible work! Thank you so much for 1) Saving this neglected EK9 and 2) Sharing the process with us. I’ve got a neglected 89 Civic in the garage and this has given me the motivation to get started again. Top job! 🙏
Awesome build. Every time you were doing something I was like, "I hope he does the ____ too." And then you did. So happy to see you take the time to do little details like redoing the valve cover, and restoring the headlights. The entire project was a great watch.
Damn I wish we just had Type Rs sitting in fields here in the US! I don't know who ruined it initially but mad props to you for returning it to its former glory! Beautiful build!
So glad to see someone save such a rare, and important car. Thank you for sharing the restoration process with us, very therapeutic to watch. I see so many Honda's here in the US getting parted out every day. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!
simple, beautiful, clean restoration! 🔥 not enough of this on RUclips, everyone goes for widebody, ridiculous rims, not to mention they spread it over a million episodes. just simply awesome!!!!!
Heck yeah. Because of the age of the car this video could have easily been 10 years old. G2s how many people are still in love with this car 23 years on. But I think the car needs more modern seats and turbo/ecu - there’s no reason you can’t just stick the stock parts in a closet and revert if you wanted to sell/show it.
Wow. This is one of the best things I’ve seen on here. You put in so much love and labor into this and even had your boys along for the ride. Amazing! Can’t believe how well you brought the car back from the grave!!
I'm going thru all of your videos one by one and WOW!!!!! it's amazing how you bring life back into these neglected cars. Throttle down from Chicago ✌️
Дай бог тебе здоровья, как же приятно смотреть когда машине дарят вторую жизнь, особенно такой как сивик. Я как фанат и владелец данной модели авто получил невероятно приятные эмоции от просмотра видео! Спасибо тебе за то что воскрешаешь японские легендарные автомобили!
EXCELLENT! AND NO THEATRICS. I never thought much for that year of Honda Civic, but you gratifyingly changed my view. I have a 1993 Honda accord LX that I bought in 1998. I absolutely love this car. Doing a little bit of work on it now. It really is a challenge to outsource parts. I’d love to find all the rubber flashing that is native to this car. Anyone have any suggestions?
My god this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on RUclips. Absolutely amazing. I just felt so happy seeing the layers and layers of decay, mods and neglect come away and seeing you add all the original detail back to the car.
The best before, during and after car restoration video I've ever seen. All achievable with a little experience, a lot of motivation knowing you will achieve that end product. Great video. Hope you enjoy that great car!
Thank you for saving that iconic 90's car! They were so rare; we cannot afford to lose one of them. She deserved it and you were the right person to do it!
This is my first time watching a full car restoration and i gotta say it was pretty awesome. I could barely do an oil change and tire rotation but this was art! Subscribed!
damn... this is really satisfying to watch. Good job man. Its really cool to see a person who has all the skills needed to restore a car. Knows about the engine, can paint, weld, etc.🤯🤯🤯

Same.
The valve cover is just awesome :) Well done.
indeed, for a moment I thought oh no it's not the red crackling finish........but so glad i was wrong.
It does look great but at first I thought it was going to be naked (no paint) - I love that look too.
Awesome indeed!

I had two EG6s: a 1992 SiR II and a 1991 SiR. I've also owned a 2001 Integra Type R (DC5 model) and a 1997 Civic Type R. I currently own a 1996 Integra Type R (DB8). I love my DB8, but an EG6 with an ITR B18C swap is like my dream car. I will always have a soft spot for the EG6; and honestly, none of the Type Rs I have owned have ever resonated with me the way the EG6 has.
I’ve never watched a video where it’s one guy doing all the work, especially to that level of perfection. Awesome job and I hope you made a ton of money when you sold it!

I'm definitely not a import guy but the amount of skill, time and love that went into bringing this car back to showroom quality is excellent! Very nice!
Yeah well as Ireland doesnt make cars, everything is import 🙂
Ditto!
‘’I’m definitely not *an import guy’’ yeah nobody watching this video friggin cares
@@rfn110n tf is your problem 😂
Honda Civic makes your import list, what would make domestic - chevy volt/Ford Focus? From United Kingdom.
So satisfying to see the previous owners' sins being undone bit by bit. Also, you didn't cheap out on any of the trim bits, some of them cost a fortune by now. Hats off to you!
Honestly the car looks like it was likely stolen and gutted
@@ErectileSceptile what good would it be to restore a car with a stolen Vin
Hey means a lot. thanks
I love how you involved your kids in the restoration. Some people would argue that’s not useful to them but I believe most of the viewers will agree that this was quality time spent with them doing something that you love
Gotta start somewhere! Im having a boy in April and I definitely plan to include him in things like this as he grows. I never had a father to do this kind of thing with so I wanna change that.
@@bagelbytes69420 good plan
I was never interested in cars as a child but my younger brother was. He always helped dad with cars as a child and now he's got his own garage and car dealership. As for me, I'm using my college degree to wipe my butttt.
Can't leave old hondas to rot well worth the effort love japanese car's and bikes got a mk6 civic 👍
@@SaintSkanderbegus Sounds like u have daddy issues hahaha
This guy makes this looks way too easy
Even tho I can see the video, it is difficult to comprehend how it is possible to restore such a neglected vehicle. Amazing and brilliant. The talent, problem solving and will power it must take to create what is now a piece of drivable art is above next level. I hope one day this car might find its way into a museum. Bravo.
You need to really push to get these projects done almost like on autopilot everyday! Thanks for taking the time to watch it 👍
Man knows how to take care the engine, body repair, and the interior. This guy must be a legendary carguy
I’m not mechanically minded myself, but I love watching this kind of thing. Much respect to you for bringing it back to its former glory!
Anyone can be mechanically inclined brother if i gotta be honest with you what mostly all mechanics do is wing it until it goes right
Not a big Honda fan but can really respect a compassionate and respectful restoration. No wraps, fart cans or silly paint job. Thing of beauty. Would happily drive about in that car.
Fair play. Most channels would've spread this build over many months and episodes. You deserve the view count alone for sticking it all in one video let alone the grind you put into the car. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
It’s sad that someone would let a car like this fall into that kind of condition. Glad to see it’s brought back to its glory
15 years ago these were dirt cheap in Ireland...
سلام من بیتا عسلی هستم
Yes back to the way it should be, thanks 👍
Whoever owned this car before didn't deserve this beauty of a car. You did an Absolutely amazing job restoring this!!
Alot of work! Thanks for watching
That white looks so much better than that black vinyl. And the fact he managed to fit the restoration into one video makes this channel one of the best on RUclips. Keep up the good work, mate!
I just love how he pays attention to every single detail on the car.... Wish I could get trained on how to rebuild a car from this expert.. Absolutely credible. Best in the world 🌍
This is the most satisfying restoration video I've seen , totally back to original , all done by your own hands. You are an Inspiration 👌
Thank you for the nice comment!
What a legend. This has always been a dream of mine, to fully rebuild an iconic vehicle from scratch. This was an absolute treat to watch. Thank you for posting this!
totally agree. this was incredible. i'm doing exactly the same thing as well, but with a 1992 Celica ST185 All-Trac Turbo. Pulled it out of the dirt halfway burred in the woods. All 4 tires were seized as it was pulled onto the trailer. It takes incredibly hard work, I'm about a year and a half in now, still going. Rare car, even rarer year, even rarer color. It has to be worth it in the long run. 272k miles, sat 13 years, after i did the fuel lines, pump, gas tank it started up lol.
@@WeTryMotorsports you got a gem right there lol those old celicas are reliable
@@WeTryMotorsports course it did. At the end of the day after all the rare aspects of the car…it’s a Toyota.
Got recommended this video and I absolutely love it the only thing off putting to me is the music in the background as someone who is a car enthusiast learning, building, fixing, restoring and trying to do the same things just hearing the raw audio of the process is so much more satisfying.
nonetheless really great video and I appreciate art such as this.
Civic Type-R is one of my favorite cars, no matter the year. What you did with this one, was pure art. It's so good to see people with the know how, restoring "old" things that should be kept in good shape. 80's and 90's in my opinion were the best decades for car lovers and enthusiast, shame people that had one of these, in most cases don't give them the value they deserve in my opinion, they end like the one you restored.
Last thing, you did all that without a lift, which would surely help a lot, my respect to you man.
It no doubt made a lot of Honda Civic Type R enthusiasts in the United States happy when Honda decided to start selling the Type R here in the United States in 2017.
He is an artist!
That's honestly just beautiful, the effort and craftsmanship that went into this is phenomenal. Fantastic work my man, I understand things like these take a lot of time and resources to finish and it came out sick!
Goku doesnt like hondas dont have the power he wants
Yes some time and patience but worth it, thanks for the watch
This was amazing. I could only wish to have a fraction of the time, talent, and knowledge that this guy has to not only accomplish an amazing project like this, but make a great you-tube video about it as well. Nice job
You'll be amazed what you can do the more you do something, everything comes from experience. You're absolutely right about something the "time". I have a evo 8 with a blown fp black turbo sitting in my garage for almost a year waiting on parts to come in. Now that I have everything to complete the job, I need to finish my garage to setup a 9 piece cabinet set so I can work on the evo comfortably, but have very little time.
As a lifetime Honda fan and owner of many older Hondas, this super nice restoration job warmed my heart. :)
Thank you for giving an old, almost ready for the scrapyard car a new lease of life which it rightfully deserves, instead of being abandoned and neglected. And what an amazing job watching it transform!
If this civic could speak, it would thank you from the bottom of its heart I'd imagine.
U mean the bottom end of its engine 😆
Thank you for you comment man 👍👍

Not sure what was more impressive... the quality of the restoration, or the previous owner's ability to ruin the car in every way possible.
I’ve been wanting to do this same build for the past 10 years. This just gave me so much motivation. You did such an amazing job. That car was destined to rust out and never see the road again. You not only brought it back to life but looks just as good as the day it was new. Once again amazing job

First of all, Your a wizard. I Couldn't even imagine the finished products quality. Secondly this was a complete story in one video which is rare you on RUclips. Are you keeping it?
Yes definitely, thank you for watching
Such fantastic workmanship covering every aspect of a quality rebuild. You are truly one of a kind! Thanks for sharing this experience.
I love how he gets his kids involved that’s a good father right there 💯‼️
Except for the fact that he spends all his time restoring cars and not paying attention to his kids😮
As an FK8 owner, and Honda enthusiast of 16 years, this was insanely motivating. I live in the states, so acquiring an ek9 is near impossible unless I'm spending insane money. Thank you so much for this video, and for the motivation to build a clone over here (unless I can find a good deal on one).
Seeing an Integra Type R is insanely rare here…let alone an EK9. Can’t believe someone would wrap Championship White 🤦♂️🤦♂️ God help us….

This was one of the best restorations done! You literally brought back a Gem! And in your own garage! Nice job
Yes! thanks for watching!
I cannot put into words how awesome this is. I’ve always had a love for “Tuners” over “American Muscle” and this makes my heart happy. I’m in love with this car. I have always wanted a Honda Civic Type R, but being 6’5” it’s kinda hard to fit and be comfortable. Absolutely killed this build my guy. It was pleasant to watch, and I look forward to watching more in the future! Cheers!
I work for Honda and drive type r every other day! I stand at 6’7 and fit perfectly in them. My buddy is 6’6 and fits fine!! You shouldn’t have a problem so you should think about getting one
Jesus. I can't imagine. Yall two. I'm 6 1 and I have the same problem.
American muscle is trash imo. It's just a truck in a car shell. Tuners are way cooler. You take something so small and make it into a weapon. Literally good luck staying flat to the road in a hellish modded out eg or Ek hatch 😂
It's when they have big mufflers that aren't actually mufflers but 4 inch gaping hole chambers to make the sound ping off the stainless. I've had a big muffler on a civic and sounded amazing. Not farty at all
@@grahammypoo3994 think about getting one? Lol they aren't the most common around the world bro but I get ur comment. There's probably only 100 of them in Canada if that FFS. Maybe one day. The 99-00 Si-R is more common but even that is rare as fuck
@Based Catboi why?
I’m speechless… what an incredible resto. To say “it’s perfect” is a wild understatement 😳 absolutely beautiful Type R EK hatch got a 2nd chance at life, and went from forgotten scrap yard death, to now living a long privileged and pampered life 😂
Amazing work man 🙌🏼
Thank you 👍
The thing I love most about your restorations is that you do a really nice job, without being a perfectionist. A "good enough" job - and I mean that as a compliment. It reminds me that restoring my 98 hatcback is an attainable goal if I just want it to look good and enjoyavle again, without the expense and time of a "perfect" restoration. Love it man, thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. For any car fanatics, this is it. The careful restoration of a car from times past ♥️
Yes and Thanks for taking the time to watch it man 👍
This is by far, one of my most favorite 23 minute videos on RUclips! Fantastic job. Props to you on an absolutely gorgeous restoration, nice find!

The respect I have for you is endless, this is the knowledge I wish school could teach and it’s amazing how you restored it which most would have put to the junk yard, I’m giving a subscribe for this👌
School 🤣
School has been proved obsolete for the last 25 years as internet and self education is so easy and free of charge schools are only there for compulsory brain washing to create good slaves because teaching children to become good factory workers has proven obsolete as well since that's no longer the economy we have.

I absolutely love that you've restored it back to stock. I'm sure a lot of people would have seen it in this condition and just gone "Track car!" and use it as an excuse to leave things in an inferior state. Though having that Bride seat would still have been cool.

Incredible work! Thank you so much for 1) Saving this neglected EK9 and 2) Sharing the process with us. I’ve got a neglected 89 Civic in the garage and this has given me the motivation to get started again. Top job! 🙏

Awesome build. Every time you were doing something I was like, "I hope he does the ____ too." And then you did. So happy to see you take the time to do little details like redoing the valve cover, and restoring the headlights. The entire project was a great watch.
Damn I wish we just had Type Rs sitting in fields here in the US! I don't know who ruined it initially but mad props to you for returning it to its former glory! Beautiful build!
Yes definitely more common here than in the US but still quiet rare, (1 in the country for sale currently) Thanks for watching
So glad to see someone save such a rare, and important car. Thank you for sharing the restoration process with us, very therapeutic to watch. I see so many Honda's here in the US getting parted out every day. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

2m views on 9 days?! Wow bro awesome for you!! I need to find me an old type r now 🤣.
Excellent work brother 👍
Heck yeah. Because of the age of the car this video could have easily been 10 years old. G2s how many people are still in love with this car 23 years on. But I think the car needs more modern seats and turbo/ecu - there’s no reason you can’t just stick the stock parts in a closet and revert if you wanted to sell/show it.
@@iJacker don't ever turbo a type r, it totally mutes the raw feel and sound these cars have, it destroys what it's meant to be. But to each there own
