Basically, no one is scrubbing tires to warm them, or working with tire pressures. That and lack of experience of how to control FWD when it get loose. Some autocross would help them both.
@RespectFreeSpeech GiveMeMuhFreedom while this is true, a rwd or awd car would also spin out if youre on the limit and you decide to lift off and turn in. rule number 1 for beginners is to brake with the wheels straight and rule number 2 is allways drive through corners on the throttle. if you lift off or even brake mid corner the car will most likely step out on you. later down the line you will learn how to trail brake, heel toe and maybe even left food braking wich is mostly not neccessary on dry road courses tho.

@@smokeybear390 I'm not talking about reliability and efficiency but more on safety and practicality best get a sedan/suv for a first car. my eg6 is also track build along with my drift e30 but my first car was a van and boy do I miss that van a lot
@@smokeybear390 nah don't listen to that guy. Honda's are very very practical first cars. My prelude was perfect for my first car at 18.
@@Brera_DRS what I'm trying to say is Do you want your first car to be Full on JDM or something you and your could ride hangout and they have a door to get into
Yooo when that EK lifted the rear tire off, I lost it man like holy fuck that’s crazy
He needs to awd swap the “type R”
Wouldn’t really do much I’d be like a golf at that point
It would make no sense, unless turbo'ing the civic
Jacob Shelton some of the fastest time attack cars on the planet are FF hondas
I am hopelessly addicted to your RUclips channel. Its destroying my life.
i wish you just gave it away as a gift since it was my dream car back here in the Philippines..i watched all the videos you had on this car from the day how you got it...thank you and more power buddy.
I love the front of the ek but the rear of the eg. Both are dope as build btw ! 👌🏼
for me its the other way around but i love both the way they are built
Crazy to go back and watch these earlier videos of Ben's Civic when we see how far it's come today!
Thank you! I was wondering what I was going to watch with breakfast this morning. Then this popped up. Hallelujah and Amen!

Got my self an EK9 as first car 3 months ago. Completely stock and it still feels fricking fast versus my parents their car :)
The best chassis was EF. Base models had manual steering and no airbag which was perfect to swap a sports st wheel and have fun with that light car
Man, I was looking at his seats halfway through like "Huh, those look like my BB6 prelude seats" and it felt good to hear that at 10:24 😂
It’s always the car that you fall in love with that becomes the greatest
Idk Ben I think the civic is your love, and it was be one of the sickest out there
To be honest. I'm actually happy that you're going to keep the EK and do a K24 swap. I picked up an 8th gen SI 4 months ago and it's my first honda. Gotta say. I'm in love with the K-series motor. It got me wanting to pick up an EK hatch myself and do a K swap.
I was rooting for Eg because I have one but overall was great battle. I’m happy that you’re not getting rid of the Ek but planning to make it better Subscribed can’t wait to see more.
I understand the concept.. I drive my underpowered S13 with more passion and fun than my Chevy SS.. Just something about simplicity than more power and options that just hits that sweet spot when you wanna drive.. Good video guys!
