@@calvinlee5289 thank you. Must say I love the car . Always been a fan of the EG4 myself. This one sounds sweet and I love the wide kit on it. Have to get myself one .
This car is amazing I recently had to let my eg hatch go in a trade for an Em1. Only reason I did was bcuz my brother decided to surprise me cuz I was obviously going nowhere with my hatch lol.
Yo saw you the other day in my R34 sedan, I saw you wave but missed the chance to wave back lol. If you know how to paint, I'm gonna need my front bumper/fenders painted pretty soon if you could help out :^)
It's really hard to be an owner of a Civic nowadays. Today your car has to push at least 300 whp to make people appreciate your build. Besides that being harrased every minute because it's "cool" to hate on Hondas. I love the honesty of this guy. He knows what's up with these cars. They are not fast by any means, but they are quick. And people get mad, because: If it has no power - you have no chances in the twisties If it has some power - you have no chances both on the straights and in the corners, sad but true.
If you live in Asia, Civic is one of the most respected car in asia's car culture. I'm still confuse why a lot of american put so much hate on this car
@@muhammadshofwan5309 well, it's not only an American thing. I live in Eastern Europe and I have to deal with VAG and BMW fanboys all the time. Fortunately, the EFs, EGs and EKs become rare on the streets, that way in few years pretty much only enthusiasts will drive them
@@LeBeckStudio great platform forsure. They're fairly common here in America. Only EF's are "rare" to see on the streets, but for the most part EG's and EK's are pretty abundant.
@Sergio Aguirre See, that's what I'm talking about. If you need power to have fun - okay, build your engine to make 1xxx hp, I don't care. But you literally confirmed what I said earlier. It's easy to make high numbers so you mean nothing if your car can't reach multiple hundred hp figures. I would love to see people get into the cars with literally no power, so that way they can appreciate every car. I've driven the 320Ci E46 and guess what - it had twice the power of my Civic, but driving it felt literally like driving a boat, because it weight almost equal to two times my Civic's. I'm building a little 1.3 liter D series that is 75 hp stock at the crank, I want to reach 150 whp. It's not much, but it's the lightest engine ever plus the weight reduction will make that car fly around the circuit.
@Sergio Aguirre Trust me, I know enough about racing them. Again, as I said earlier, I don't care about power. Also, I don't care about high power cars on the track if their chassis isn't ready for that power. And again, you are telling me about H swap, the second heaviest engine possible before the Js. There are plenty swaps like that, most cars are done the worst way (engine swap only or slap a turbo on a totally stock car), hence why Hondas have their reputation. I'm doing this the right way - making my way from the chassis, through the suspension, brakes and AFTER that, to the engine. I don't know if you live in the States, if yes, then we have a completely different mindstate about the cars. Here in Europe we don't have 300 hp musclecars, rather a 90 hp engines wrapped around tin cans with wheels.
Wet sanding works. I've painted cars with 98 cent rattle cans from walmart just to see what could be done. Wet sanding made it look shockingly good. Top with a decent clear.
i love eg's. great fun lightweight is key. for track use id do a baffled oil pan first. the b and d series like to mid corner oil starvation when going quick enough.
@@gerem82xx 1L OVER maximum? seems a "bit" much honestly. could be that the crank punches into the standing oil witch can lead do the oil bubbling like a milkshake....
You know, I actually really dig the sound. Its got an anger, some aggression to it. I'm not sure how loud the intake is in person, but it didn't come across so much on video. If I were to give a suggestion, it would probably be to have some more induction sound. But I really like it overall. Well done. 👍
That's my dream car. That's almost exactly how I want it set up too. I'd have black rims and red brake rotors. Either B18 Type R or K20 swap . Rear splitter, roll cage and flat bottom also. Maybe AWD K24 w/K20head N/A if money was no option.
Now i wanna begin that Project 🙏🏾 From Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 That’s could be my first car 🙏🏾❤️ I haven’t started and I’m excited , let’s save money to make this project reality 🙏🏾❤️ God Bless All of Us 🙏🏾
This is a very cool build, most people hate Hondas, putting it to shame especially those who own hondas getting hate and then few a months later they sell it because of hate. Love the hatchback bro!😁🤙🔥
I own a civic eg stock everything other than some 15x7 rims, i also own a 96 miata turbo with everything done to it.. and im not going to lie, my civic eg tho slow is just as fun to drive as the miata.. both great cars, love the light weight quick handling cars, new cars are so heavy and boring.. i did not want to spend any more money on my civic but after this video im so motivated to at least do suspension.
Was never really into Hondas...but I also never bashed on them just because they were a "Honda"...as an enthusiast it just wasn't my thing to really bash any type of car just because of its make/model. They do get bad rap from how many Honda owners 'mod' their nearly stock cars, then drive them like they're Gods gift to the street world. But in fact built right like any car, can be just as fast, controllable, and reliable. I enjoy them when i see clean builds like this...power to weight is a rule i go by now..and in the beginning he's absolutely right. Its not about how much power you make if you can't put the power down. I had an 04 Cavalier (base, 2dr, 5spd) and engine swapped it, supercharged it, and was running roughly 300fwhp. It got a lot of attention, mostly good, because it was clean and I didnt pretend it was faster than everyone's car..though down low it was able to embarrass a lot of high powered cars (including boosted Mustangs and Camaros). then in straight lines on the highway, Id have a hard time keeping up past 110mph or so (not that i ever raced on public roads...O.o)... My turbo Miata has about the same to the crank and weighs 2070lbs dry. Again, light, high power to weight ratio, and fun to drive. My current daily is a '16 focus ST with full bolt-ons, and i really enjoy it. To this day I've never owned a Honda..and I probably wont. But i think this is a clean, fun looking car! Props to him and his brother to having a project they can enjoy together while learning!
Nice Civic. BUT PLEASE... Can we get some interior and engine bay shots. I understand if its dirty or in the making but as a Del Sol guy these additions to your vids would be a major +++. aloha n keep it up.
Building my hatch rn, fully built single cam, just waiting on block, head is built with all aftermarket parts, boosted hoping to make 300+ on 20-25 lbs... currently shaving the bay right now almost done. 🤙🏾. I do everything myself 😅
The only thing i'm not really a fan of is the wing. But other than that, it looks really good, and i really like the mentality he has, you know, doing a cool project at home, with low budget and just having fun with it, dailying it etc. A very cool dude, i like him :)
Yeah I see guys at car shows all the time with cars that they've spent so much money on that they're afraid to drive it. Just today I was at a show were guys were arriving with cars on trailers. I thought to myself what's the point of car that's not driven.
You know that the transmission and shifter assembly is spot on when you are full throttle in it and then you let off the throttle, and the gear shift knob and assembly doesn't even move at all.
@10:53 a buddy of mine use to work there when he lived in Japan! He's pretty close to some of the other who work there! I think he had a Soarer while he lived there (now trying to import one here in the state).
Who says Hondas can't put a smile on your face?! :D Heading out to shoot an EPIC series with HPA Motorsports right now, see you guys soon!

garage built as well! thanks for the support

yeah the kit is around 4,5k :D

This honestly is. Even coming from a honda fan. Many hondas hit a note thats kinda like ow. Lol
It's the b18c I love the way it sounds
