Finding a Junkyard Goldmine For The Auction Biohazard Civic Hatch | Part 5
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- While at an auto auction, I came across this 1997 Honda Civic EK Hatchback. This was categorized as a biohazard with no key. I saw it and decided to roll the dice and buy it without knowing the condition of the engine and transmission. I grew up wrenching on these old Honda EK Hatch's so this one felt special to me and I wanted to save it. After detailing the interior and getting it running, I set out to find some parts at my local junkyard and found some amazing stuff on a civic ex.

Glad you could join us! Got some more parts for the hatch and it's coming along quite nicely. Is there anything else I should be looking for from a junkyard for the car? Stay tuned for the next episode 🤠

I think you should give the car a second clean, it would really show the cars glory 😁
You forgot to get the exterior door handles. They tend to brittle.
Man I’m going check out this junk yard because I’m local
You can swap the speedo from your DX cluster into the EX cluster so you can retain your original mileage, I think it's like 4 tiny screws on the back. If you're interested I have an Si cluster for sale
I was gonna say the same thing. Takes a few mins to swap it all out
I’ve been on search for an Si cluster that doesn’t cost an arm and leg, could I get in contact with you?
I was saying “grab it” with a lot of stuff during the junk yard run lol
Car comments be like:
I'm not gonna lie, as I was about to start to video, I saw the few words "swap out the speedo..." and thought "what the..."
Love seeing these kind of vids of restoring older cars to its prime condition. Keep it up!
Can’t wait for more!!❤❤
🙏💙
Who knew I'd get so invested in the restoration of a 97 civic?😄 And all because I got the 1st video as an algorithm recommendation. I've watched all the videos so far and can't wait to see the final form this machine takes✌
Get the better cluster and roll back the miles to match your real mileage. Nothing wrong with that 🤔
Good job so far 👍

I would recommend picking up a manual first gen CR-V cluster. Plugs right up, everything works and has a tach gauge. Not to mention it looks a lot cooler than the EX cluster and it lights up amber. I got one sitting in my closet that I had in my 96 hatchback lol
The manual trans CRV clusters are even harder to find
@@speedyme200 you’re not wrong but I meant order one. You can still get them for a decent price right now before they skyrocket in price as well
i have one for sale currently in MI if anyone wants one lol
As soon as I saw the shiny headlights I was like grab it!
I’m just so hooked onto this civic’s journey, it’s unreal! Love how this is panning out, looking forward to the upcoming vids! Kudos to you mate!
It looks so amazing now! That headlight is also gonna do you really good. I saw someone mention a CRV cluster, maybe you can try that on the Civic? Plus, it glows a cooler colour. I'm still rooting for naming it, it has too much personality to not be named!
Keep the videos coming! Always excited to see a new video from you!
Dude! You are working like a machine! It was not long when i started watching your civic journey and you already found a hood for it! Wow! This is amazing to watch come together!
Those ex steering knuckles are actually worth something, and starting to get hard to find (at least in my area). I ended up paying over $200 for my set because I needed them and got impatient.
What’s so great about ex knuckles you ask? You need them if you want to do the “poor man’s brake upgrade”, which is:
* ex front knuckles
* ex front brake hoses
* ’97-‘01 CR-V front calipers
* ’07-‘11 MINI front rotors (280mm)
* 04-10 TSX or 99-03 TL base pads
This brings your front brakes from 235mm to 280mm. Pretty good upgrade for all off the shelf parts
Idk why but I can’t help but love this little civic. Something about how basic yet fun it is makes it so unique. Keep up the great work!
Loving the build. Glad you found the hood. Definitely will be watching the progression!
Well I think you should also collect the steering wheel multimedia buttons as it will be a cool addition and detail to the oem civic
Since the day you bought it, that hood was bothering me with every episode. Glad to see you happy and finally getting it changed. Look forward to what you do with those wheels and cluster.
Excellent score man. Pumped for you!
It looks good with the new hood. Nice of that gentleman to give you a hand too!
This is awesome man, I love watching your videos while eating lunch!
Very cool build! The Civic it's turning out in a fantastic way!
Can’t wait to see what wheels you put on her. Great video man!!!
Love seeing the progress on this Civic. You're taking good care of it and making a really nice car out of what was a piece of junk at the start.
I don’t comment much, but right now I want to thank you for the quality videos sharing your journey with different cars you encounter. I am intrigued by your journey. Love the vibe your videos give off too.
I love the way that new hood looks. The car is going to look amazing when it’s finished. Good luck as always!😊
I haven’t consistently watched a youtubers videos in YEARS, your videos are amazing, always have me waiting for the next upload to watch! Keep it up please :)
You're welcome about the rubbing alcohol tip! My car had a ton of sap spots all over the hood and roof when I bought it, but I used that and now it looks mint! Cars looking great so far! That hood was an awesome find! Now just gotta find a matching hubcap!
Congrats bro this is a clean ride now!!! 🎉
I’m stoked to see this car turn into something awesome
Awesome finds and nice upgrades!
These videos make me wanna restore an old civic, love the journey man. Cant wait to see some new wheels on it
Love what you do to that little Civic. Had one in dark-blue back when they were new over here in Germany. Had the 90hp engine. I always liked the US-headlights better with the amber reflector, so i got them on a trip to Florida from a pick-and-pull.
Man I love this! I’m finishing up high school and I dream of doing something like this, so it’s great to see someone else’s experience
It is my dream to get an old 90s civic as a project car. So for now ill live out my dream through your videos. Hope you continue to make content with this car brother.
Maaaan.. I moved out of WA due ot the pandemic and trying to move back.. I use to live at that Junkyard.. helped a buddy swap a alternator in the parking lot and just so many good memories at that junkyard lol, Cant wait to be back
I'm really enjoying this series bro, very calming and enjoyable to watch
amazing vid man very informational!
Love the build man keep up the great work 😂🎉
she clean though stock! but if your modding it im here for it and yea I get you on the junkyard prices, here at my junkyard near my house if you buy a car from them you get free parts for 3 months. had my aunt buy a 09 escalade from them and didn't went crazy on free parts but got what i needed for both my projects suburban and other cars i have. luckily the manager is a friend of mine, so they are pushing the free warranty free parts a little further for me!
I'm really enjoying the civic content and your videos in general. They're so chill and entertaining.
Thanks for keeping me entertained at work, keep up the great content!
By the way, I'd personally would love to see more videos related to the junkyard, that'd be amazing imo
nice to see you find a exact hood so cool
Love these videos. Sorry about the cluster. There must be a way around odometer problem, at least I hope there is.
I am jumping around when I see yu uploaded about the EK Hatch
Nice fun video to watch
Keep uploading more videos for this stock EK 🎉
I like these types of channels and content. It feels closer to my reality.
Love these old Hondas. Man, I miss the days of going to junk yard and finding replacement parts. Subbed
appreciate it!
My tip for pick and pull yards: bring cash, try to buy at least 3 things, then you can also negotiate with them.
I have usually been able to get them down at least 30% from their original quote.
Good luck with the restoration, I would say yes to the muffler though 😊.
subscribed just to see this civics journey, love to see how it’s turning out
so satisfying to watch the hood swap. you mentioned how prices are going up at the yard-would be a cool add-on to the video to know how much you got those parts for!
CRV cluster looks nice as well so be on the look out
Love these videos bro ❤
We need to keep this series going after the civic rebuild we want you to continue with another car
I have a super soft spot for hatches from that era. I miss my Ford Festiva from the early 90's - my college car, but nobody really bothers with those these days. Great work, bud, I wish I were as car-handy at your age as you are.
fun journey with this car
As I watch this, seeing that Pickling parts section to me living in Europe seems so weird that there are just yards and yards of cars sitting around from which you can just scavenge out of. Its alien lmao
1:37 you can do Cluster swap and swap over you Mileage portion over to the new cluster. There’s videos on how to
Yay new hood!
this is a nice series man
also a wheel change would 100% make the civi look better, lookin forward to that fr
4:45 i work for a parts store and we sell those bulbs for $55 for a pair. they're the best quality bulbs we sell, aside from the "technically illegal" LED bulbs.
Those headlights and tails!!
I hope you took the right headlight it looked perfect
Videos like this makes me wanna work on my Honda Jazz/Fit 😭
I see them daily and see ones that are ✨Tastefully Clapped✨... I so want mine to look OEM-ish 😓
resist the urge to modify it, keep the stock life ma dude 😁🤙 its more unique that way since everybody modify these
Keep it up buddy...❤💯😍
Dude, that EJ civic from the junyard had good parts to take haha. The vibrant muffler is very popular here in Portugal since they are "cheap" (new are close to 170 euro) and they soud really good haha
great find bro 😃:)
Looking good
You should get the crv cluster from the same years as those Hondas it fits in perfectly and has a red si tone
Easy Off Heavy Duty Degreaser Cleaner wouldve helped with the tree sap as well ... i cleaned my engine bay with it !!!! knocked all the gunk off an showed the paint underneath
love this series
Keep it up man love your content❤❤
bro is playing junkyard tycoon fr now
for some reason it’s so hard to come across the sedans in the junkyard, usually coupes. so seeing a sedan even though it’s beat up made me so jealous lmao
I actually get most of my good deals on junk yards. Also I get other parts from other civics or other cars as well. I’m working on putting on Porsche 986 brake calipers on my Honda civic. It’s a kit made for them. You can do a lot with these civics better yet any car tbh
That little civic is so clean. I would definitely keep it as factory as possible. I bet it would fetch a nice price in the future if you keep it unmodded.
I love these videos
I did the cluster on my car. Rolling the odometer to the right milage really isnt hard. I wouldnt worry about that. Mine was on a prelude but i imagine it wouldnt be too different
Maybe ill run and scoop that ex cluster then; glad it worked for you
i’m going to call this build the hazardhatch it just sound great 😅
No kidding about junkyard prices increasing. With the new car shortage, used cars (and the the parts to fix them) have gone up like everything else! Back in the day (1990s), I remember “hood pulls,” ie pile what you want on an old hood and drag it out. You could get an insane amount of stuff for so cheap! Now a lot of junk yards don’t even let you into the yard anymore.

Another banger. I've been debating if I should go to the junkyard
New upgrade
Haven’t watched many of your videos but I’m loving these. Also saw your E36 video. Keep it up, you’re making great content
Ngl junkyard find is my favourite,keep it up
These cars run for ever
It's really easy to pull the speedometer out of your old cluster, also it's easy to roll back or move up the mileage on 90s honda clusters I've done it like 6 times because I keep having to swap clusters in my del sol because they are shit lmao
Man! This makes me miss my ‘98 EX coupe in clover green 😢
One thing you could have nabbed was the color matching side trim that the EXes came with. Subtle, but it’s a nice touch.
edit* Same with the side mirrors!
Cool bro
Just keep it with the hub caps
Stock look is unbeatable for these old civics
Most of the are heavily modified..so stock look will really stands out
I’d say go back for that Vibrant muffler, it’s a good brand and they sound great
I think the big change you can do is LHD EDM folding mirrors.
Kinda wish you just got the cluster, you can always roll them back to the value of the old cluster.
I wouldn't feel bad about it if the value is legitimate, just keep a note of the date and mileage at rollback on the back of the cluster and in the service papers.
If you're feeling lucky, you could even install the sunroof from the junked car. I hope you're comfortable with cutting sheet metal accurately though!
loving the journey so far! what do you plan on doing to the car other than replacement parts and the new upcoming wheels?
also i've recently been searching for a JDM EG sedan. your EK hatch is making me itch to get myself a civic even more! lol
Inspiration 😀
Great video .. exactly next thing it's some new wheels covers or maybe rims? Il wait for the next video 😂
Stay tuned 🤓
Yo I've seen that older dude a few times while going to junkyards. He was only weird once 👍
Love the old Honda's
me too
Dude love the budget build if you do mod leave the appearance stock and then go full send on the drive train
I cracked open a la croix 10seconds before you opened yours in the video😂
💥🥤😂
YEAH BRO GO BACK FOR THAT CLUSTER😅
