How I bought my Civic Type R replica for $5000
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- A few months ago, we took a road trip from Key West, Florida to Nova Scotia, Canada. One of the most popular comments on that road trip series was the claim that there's no way I could have bought my Civic Type R replica for $5,000. Well, in this video I'll go in depth into everything that I've done to the car since I bought it. Sometimes the best deals aren't the ones that you find for sale, but there the one's that you build yourself.

You should set the rev limiter to 9001 so you can say "ITS OVER 9000" when you redline
This guy right here... he gets it!!
I like the way you think...
Ah yes
ya but wouldn't the inertia of the engine and slightly carry it over 9k anyways as the limiter kicks in?
Eli Herman 420!!!!
so ben but bought a ricer car and unriced it good
John-Daniel Martin Correct
No. It's ricer pretending to be a type r
Save the ricers
WAVVE MEGV well yes, but who wants to pay that much for a real type r
The Type R sticker (esp w no red seats???) makes this super rice
Well that was basically a tutorial on "How to Un-Rice your car".

It’s weird in Russia you can buy real type r’s in good condition for around 5k

We never got them in the US so a lot of it is mark up from importers. Party the reason why the new Type-R was so hyped up (same with Focus RS) That's why R32 Skyline GTRs are like $25-$30k here.
Kingjay814 yeah, Russia didn’t get them either, hence why they are all rhd. As for r32 GTR’s they aren’t much cheaper anywhere since they weren’t available anywhere other than japan.

The Civic Type R Ek9 is definitely one of the best hot hatches of all time
Yep :)
To bad this isnt one of them... Its a dx, type r wannabe. As long as he never claims its a real type r(especially if he sells it) then its fine.
Josh P well atleast it’s a Type R build which includes the OEM parts
@@basithph8958 it isnt a type r build though. Its a dx type r clone. I worked restoring classics and its what is reffered to as a clone. If i take a 6cyl camaro and make it a z28 with all the parts its still not a z28... Its a base 6cyl vin made to look like a more popular and more powerful car. Technically if he tries to sell it as a real type r then he is commiting fraud. This isnt a new thing.
Josh P I see what you mean atleast its a proper Honda build
"I don't feel like I'll invest anymore into this car"

@@Edigor100 Satisfied with his car? Not just that - satisfied with his life apparently to this guy. For all he knows this is the only thing going well at the moment for the owner. Or was he more focussed on the smile being more than what it should be in some facetious way I wonder?
Thank you for dericing the civic. Previous owner had the usual STANCE NATION taste. Great job on returning the car to being clean. I would of done the same thing.
Shitty wheels, eBay under brace, yonaka exhaust, and probably stance coilovers. I'm sure you're one of those "respect all builds" type of guy. Previous owner had bad taste in mods. That's my opinion. If you're into stanced out non functional rides, more power to you.
@@Kyezie131 I'm not calling all civics a ricer. Hell I own a supercharged s2000 and been in the Honda game a long time. It's just the style of the previous owners taste which disgust me with probably some kind off stance xxr wheels, eBay bracing and eBay yonaka exhaust. Ben's taste is just like mine, clean, quality jdm parts, and putting back ac and ps. So yes, not all civics are ricers, just the previous owners.
Sie Lee exactly. But hey I did have a yonaka exhaust on my em1 -_-
@@Kyezie131 I can respect other builds completely when they're done well and they're functional. My EG is lowered on some Skunk2 coilovers to a functional level purely for handling and even then I scrape here and there and it sucks, and mine isn't near as low as this EK was. Like it's just stupid, why sacrifice usability purely just for looks? I'll respect your build when you can get over a speed bump in a grocery store parking lot without screwing up the bottom of your car haha
@@Kyezie131 i hope youre joking. the condition of the car when he purchased it from the previous owner was absolutely horrible. almost every part the previous owner slapped on that poor car was ebay junk. so yeah, it was done in poor taste
I appreciate you having genuine taste and doing this Honda proper.
AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHOS HAD THIS VIDEO IN THEIR RECOMMENDED FOREVER BUT JUST NOW WATCHING IT 😂
perfectly describes it...
No sir 😂
This video hasn't even been out for a month...
Yes, you are obviously the only person
Dude they forced it on me forever and finally watched it to get it off my list. I feel raped.
that paint job along would of been worth 4k without the help of a friend….
that's what I'm saying. this dude didn't deserve that paint job. probably underpaid his friend too. I have no respect for the owner at all. Whines way too much
Jose Munoz ?????? His friend was probably willing to give him a low price because he’s his FRIEND just shut the fuck up lmao “whining” give the dude props he did everything on this car by himself other than the paint job after he bought it
Some people are just willing too help out and if you can use it good for you I have a guy at work who paints cars and he saw my car and said it was nice asked about it then told me too bring it by if I ever wanna paint it I just gotta pay for supplies
Dcboy1337 which is great if you know people that paint. This is not the case for most people. saying that this car cost 5g to build when the paint job along would of cost 4G for a normal person with no friends to help is very misleading.
@@nyfries this car costed for HIM 5k. Also I can tell you this isnt a 4k paint job. It's about a 2k paint job at best. For 4k you would have more coats than the civic was given.

This should be a trend on youtube. Buy a riced out hotboi car and fix it!
I bought a cheap riced out s2000. Currently doing the same process of bringing it back. LOVE the video. Some people just have awful taste.
It's not awful taste it's just different, people buy cars and do what they want to the way they want to do to them because that's what they like. Like myself I generally straight pipe everything, but some people hate that. But I really don't care what other people like I alter the car the way I like it. But that doesn't mean you're adding value and that's what some people forget.
Where I live by enlarge the cheapest s2000’s are the ones that have had the most ‘work’ done to them
Paint was shit and it was too low thats about it I dont get what was poor taste
@@professorweedington4962 You didn't get the memo? Doing any mods at all is automatically rice nowadays :)
@@emperorpalpatine3088 No it's not. Rice are mods that render a car less functional. Putting a giant rear wing on a Civic DX for example does absolutely nothing.

It’s so cheap modifying cars in america
Elijah Hua No, just that the honda civic is very inexpensive to mod. Not that the honda civic is a bad car, (i have one) but it is a low entry car into the tuner scene.
@@metrobooming3767 entry lvl is not same class as FWD world record holder 4 cylinder
AzyPebble still entry level. honda civics are cheap to modify
in america.
That's what happens when literally millions of cars are driven and eventually junked. You can find decently functional parts for cheap for almost any car if you're willing to look.
Saturday morning is for Gears and Gasoline. (Note to self: don't upload on Saturday morning...)
Welldone, very beautiful car. Hondas look way better when they are standard/OEM.
I love seeing regular 90s Accords in perfect stock condition on the road. Looks so much better than the modded out cars with fart exhausts.
Completely stock can be boring. If a car is going to be built, they're way better when built cleanly.
honestly if people did't give onto crap quality parts and such, most modified civics would be nice.. and i know a number of people who do crap out is because budget but i'd rather earn that extra hundred dollars for a better part than to get it instantly
Ah ha! I knew you couldn't do it for $5k! That extra $16 sent you way over the budget!! (Just kidding, love the Type R stuff and love the channel!!)
He just COMPLETELY BLEW THE BUDGET!
Dang that’s a sweet build, I recently drove an Acura RSX Type-S and that was awesome, I can only imagine what that Type R drives like!
dunno why you'd get rid of a mugen valve cover, that was probably the rarest thing on the whole car

I'm 27, going on 28, hope to upgrade from my Corsa to a 2005 Hawkeye Impreza someday (I'd like a 350Z, but I like to have four doors and decent boot space just for practicality's sake) and it always pisses me off when some idiot says JDM cars like Evos, WRX, Skylines, Civic R are "for kids" 😒 TBF I'll be into these cars until the day I die.
Why did muscle car guys not have to put up with this shit?
Anyway, venting over, nice car, even though it's just a replica.. Modern Japanese cars (or cars in general, for that matter) just aren't the same as the 80's/90's/00's, with all the safety and emissions regulations BS... I blame the climate change scaremongering.
Its insane that 4 years ago this thing was easily the most riced out civic. Flash forward to today ben and mia are absolutely shredding it on track in ca!
Let me stop you right there buddy, just like James pumphrey said "it's not pronounced miugen, muhgen or mujehn ... MOO-GEHN it's pronounced MOO-GEHN"

Nice to see car content not reviewing cars working people can never afford.😁😁😁.
Honda civic ek unriced and converted into a beautiful type r. Amazing
cat still no typeR
*replica
Great Build and video quality sir. I am impressed. I don’t care much for a Civic Type-R but would love to complete an EG sedan one day. (Is a project car ever done?) And this video really is helping me see that it’s certainly possible to build a car as I want it one day. Thank you.
Does it have an LSD? Based on where you stand with modifications now, I would think that would be the most significant in terms of handling. Great story! Thank you for sharing.
If it's a true b16b swap with an s4c trans it should but I would doubt it. Since the thing was so riced out from the beginning, if it doesn't he should totally buy one and upgrade to a 4.9 final as well!
@@brendansmith270 He has the EK9 Type R trans, so yeah, he also has the LSD.
I'm shocked by how much likes this comment has...just goes to show how much ppl don't know about cars
The Opinionator haha you can bolt an open diff ek trans to a b16b you fucking idiot, and he didn’t mention in the video if it is or not. Otherwise you literally can’t tell
@@cheetahgaming3642 he didn't mention it because a b16b does come with an lsd transmission...and you clearly don't know wtf you're saying because there's nothing like an 'ek trans' LOL..where do you youtube mechanics some from? geeze
Well the word “Replica” more or less says how it was 5K overall.
oHH MAN i've been waiting for this video since i first saw ur civic on a road trip
I bought myself a civic 2 months ago btw. It's also 1997
I wouldn't K swap it the car is so period correct with the B16 it wouldn't seem right.
97jag440 The problem is that it is just really slow and gutless, most guys in Japan B18C swap them or build them up to 1.8L.
Looks really good, I'd love to see the 5 lug conversions with stock type-r wheels. I think that would really complete the package.
Facts
2800 for a hatch, that's a steal. where I live, people try to sell clapped up ones for like 5k.
Mad respect man. This car is seriously cool, and seeing the work, money and effort you out into it just adds on to the cool. Adding A/C and or power steering is no easy or fun job. That Is big respect
only a b16b engine cost 2000 to 2500 in japan. its very good value 2800 ek.
I don't want any Honda Civic Type R that is Not an Authentic real one, i just can't do it. The fact that it's not genuine would constantly be in the back of my mind and that would just Bother me too much.
Must be some difference with suspension / brakes/ Chassis / steering rack etc
Great build though for the price
When i see this i think of the red eg 36 but white from initial d
type r replicas are NOT going for $10k, dude.
Yo please do the next of road trips episode with a Wrx sti and a 350 z
The Mugen valve cover can be saved if you paint it in red. Great job, a nice Civic saved of the garbage.
great to see that car get it's glory back. i'll never understand the thought process of a Honda owner sometimes.
Awesome CTR replica!!! I've done several of these Honda builds, my current daily driver is a rust free original paint, border seizure civic I picked up for $371 Canadian, thats about $278 US dollars. I've since bought some maintenance parts, installed new old stock and used parts I had around the shop, recycled some parts off of my old street/track EG to get it where it is now. Not a day goes buy that somebody doesn't ask to buy it, LOL!!!
i did a set of those silicone hoses in my VR6 and in under 2 years ive replaced almost all of them due to failure. they are NOT for a driver car. they are for trailer queens ONLY. utter garbage. 15 year old USED OEM hoses are more trustworthy than those are. junk.
You guys have become my favorite RUclips car channel. Keep up the awesome work!
Beautiful. Enjoy the B16 engine. :) lots of fun less issues than the k20 imo :)
Yeah, sadly if people don't know about K series timing chain issues like the tensioner, they can get into some issues when installing larger aftermarket cams. I know some people have issues with K series transmissions but there are different factors to take into consideration when people say the K series transmission is weak. Engine mounts, axles, tires, wheel size, differentials, bushings, clutch and suspension are some factors to take into consideration. One other large factor is how the person drives. A nice hydraulic release bearing from Clutch Masters or Tilton will help reduce shock on the drivetrain.
Agree :)
@Bryce Czirr the transmission are not my friend went thru 3 in 100 k with daily driven car was driven hard at times now engines are another world the engine had 325000kms before she let go and ran mint till its last day and by the way axles are another killer wirh ks now my b16a2 gets beat on past 150000kms besides clutch been bulletproof
@Bryce Czirr oh really bro different take for sure any mods and you drive it hard ?
@Bryce Czirr proper answer my friend lol stupid question lol
You saved that Civic! Props to you man OEM is the way to go.
I found a real EP3 (2004 i think)
Type R in mint condition for 6000€.
And they guy knew what the was selling.
Makes me wish I had 6k of disposable income rn...

Greetings from Dominican Republic 📍
Awesome stuff, my man! A car is worth so much more, personally, when you have done most of the hard work yourself.
Me and my dad bought a volvo 360 gl 1987 for 200$ and it might become my first car and thats a cool honda
Yo dude awesome! If you fix er up and keep up on maintenance it'll last you forever! I had a 740 turbo manual wagon that got t-boned. Loved that car.
@@legodude19999 yeah me and my dad are probably gonna fix it upp a bit but we'll see what happens during the winter here in sweden. It is a really cool car and the enterior almost looks brand new but the outside has some small rust spots and some dents but for a runnig car wich costed 200$ (2000kr) I think that's really good and I would really like to have a 940 or a 740 wagon as a first car but a 360 ain't so bad either.
Hey man, a car is a car. It's nice they the interior is good, it's where you spend most of your time anyway. If you ever end up taking the carpet out id recommend sound deadner, especially by the wheel wells, really quieted mine down for daily driving.
@@legodude19999 ok thanks for thr tip
A type R replica like this one here would go for 12k euros no problem. People here are willing to pay 6k euros + for a EG with a K20 swap and amounts of abuse on the car.
"I might do the 5 lug conversion and type r wheels". 2 k24s, porsche brakes, gutted interior, and 1 year later...
Type r have 5 stud and back caliper breaks not drums
KRAYMO1 Raymond dudes budget was 5k cut him some slack
The amount of time, effort, and money spent on this car is priceless. I love it.
That's insane - you can pick genuine Type Rs for £2k (abouth $2.5k) in the UK.
kr hk innit 😂😂😂
So that guy sold a b16b swapped ek hatchback for 2800 I don’t believe it .the swap cost more than that
This was more emotional than Initial D's storyline....

@@brandonleesanders What you typed is laughable. Not sure if that wasn't clear
8k in parts, 2,5k for the Car. Yeah your math makes sense, i end up at 5k too.
I wish I had the know-how and ability to do all this kind of work on a vehicle. Just to be able to do preventative maintenance, keep your vehicles looking great, and be able to own a car without having it be a financial burden. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a lot of people and having to pay more for less and need to sift through mechanics frequently who rip you off.
Who's preventing you from learning on how to work on your own car with free videos on youtube and buy cheap tools?
Well,what i remember for the most is that you bumped into lost-control crown vic
this makes me wish I knew how to work on my car more, and had the tools to do so :(
This is how Hondas were always meant to be. Practical, reliable, subtle yet sleek, and a ton of fun to drive with the proper suspension setup.
Not sure about that, even many enthusiasts in Japan heavily modify their civics.. I understand the practicality and reliability of Civic's as that is truly what they are made for, but in my opinion the build he bought it as wasn't horrible, besides the obvious poor condition of some aspects. I actually thought the engine bay looked better prior rather than after he bought it. The way he built the Civic after buying it would be too stale for me, too boring. It was clean for sure but some things he did I thought were just too bland.
Jason Szumski Oh I’m not denying that and I know some put outrageous body kits. And I agree that his modifications were too bland for me as well. The way I see it, if there’s room to improve the overall performance while maintaining the balance, why not.
I should rephrase that, “this” in my opinion is the best and most ideal way to modify a Honda, not exactly like this example but it’s pretty close.
Started to binge the history on THE iconic MIA the civic.
Now im even more inspired to build my EK im buying for $1500 bucks... all bone stock DX 96 Hatch

I appreciate you having integrity and doing this build properly. I love hondas. Have for years. This was an excellent video.
They're about 5k in the UK
Zak Ali not even that most of the time
The jspec auto you used to source parts for the build i hope Isn't the same jspec auto that's getting slammed online now for selling stolen parts???
It is. Can't really blame them since nobody had any clue about J-spec.
It's a lot like Dieselgate. The consumers & the employees don't know, just the top members that made the biggest decisions.
Wow look how much space there is to work in that engine bay. Ahhhh I miss the old days. What a great way to invest your hard earned cash good job 👍
