PLEASE, will you 3 (car trek) join forces and build a car.. i know top gear did it in mongolia but i wanna see you 3 do it for the Baja.. or another rally if you feel less inclined..
That's a really amazing feat for a teenager in the garage to make. Even if it hasn't held up, it will forever be remembered. And honestly, it wasn't even that ugly in the first place
@@joshuaportillo4880 It was very much an artifact of its time. It's wild that the builder went to so much effort to make everything out of metal, but just didn't get the finish work right. The effort was there and then some, but the skill level to get it right clearly was not.

Too late now but it could have been fun to 3d scan the old civic and have a fiberglass kit made to replicate it on a new good body, then install the fast stuff and break some hearts.
Yeah... Cant believe thats how it ended. Lets just cut up history and throw it to the crusher... Could have found something to make a better life.. Even if it was just yard art
@@silverstreak1001 you obviously don't know much about body repair. That car was doomed long before it was bought. Solid metal would be paper thin in most areas, and it would require replacing most of it to give it the minimum integrity to survive, even as a "statue"...
It would’ve been awesome to have a 3d scan of the car so fibreglass or even carbon kits could be made for another eg hatch, then put all the awd components into that one and make a real ricer rocket that takes on super cars
For sure, wonder if you can squeeze in the Honda V6 out of the accord like the 3.0 vtec, or maybe the 3.5 out of the Oddysey i think they sound pretty good & is by the looks of it on a single turbo setup pretty quick too. Even doing all motor naturally aspirated people make 300+ hp too the wheels. The video titled " Team 1320 All Motor J-series Zoomie Monster J32a2 eg 370whp w/ Oem J35 stroker build " at 4:58 & 5:54 sounds pretty great doing a burnout & going down the strip.
You should have 3d scanned it before starting to rip it apart. Would have been good to make some models. Could have printed as a key ring in clear resin with a piece of the car embedded.
I'd like to see a Honda build. For the lightest chassis, I'd pick a 92-95 body without sunroof. There is no need to get a Type R just to replace all the Type R parts. It would be a waste of money. EDIT: I forgot to mention hatchback not coup. All your parts will plug and play into this car. There are lighter chassis but if you want plug and play, this is the way to go.
I would love to see a real recreation of this please. Sad to see something iconic like this go. I would have preferred to see it cleaned up a bit as a rusty old statue, rather than cut up. The real fun is seeing it in its entirety. I see why it couldn’t be rebuilt, but IMO it didn’t need to be rebuilt, just preserved.
@@NaruSanavai unless its dipped or galvanised (its far to fin to hot dip galvanise its gona rust this was something the car industry didnt even get right till the 2000s look at fords them things rusted in less than as year yet ppl kept buying them all 80s /90s cars where rust piles by 5-10 years old lol why there so rare now
It somehow survived all this time just to be cut up. Kinda sad. I would bring it back to its meme days and put some performance in it or make it "cooler" with keeping some of its iconic looks which it was known for.
@@silverstreak1001 I feel like his lack of fondness towards Hondas played a big role. This thing was everywhere during MySpace days and every ricer slideshow video in RUclips at the time had this car in it.

I hope you took measurements and have the information to get another civic and create an exact copy of this one. And get the original builder to help and tell the story.
Yeah del sol, getting everything to fit in an older crx would be aids af. Also this way you don't have to mess with a type r platform... honda people be cray cray about type r.
To be honest I would have totally cut all the panels off and made templates for fiberglass and found a clean shell and rebuilt it from the ground up. That civic felt like it came straight out of the 90s.
Fish your misunderstanding here, the car was being eaten away by rust, no engine and its not even allowed to be driven on the road. So he did what he had to do, now we can miss it all we like
Disappointed to say the least. I agree the car is a complete rust bucket. It did not deserve to be made fun of, you among everyone should know how much time and effort it takes. This was an internet legend, it was done in a shed with no expertise. All hand made, and that gained my respect. The outcome of this series was disappointing, not with the car, but how you handled the entire situation.
I have to agree. I would have much rather it have been sent off to someone willing to do the work for the sake of automotive meme history than see it get cut up and destroyed. I honestly didn't expect much different from Tavarish, though. What I also find kind of annoying is that he uses the excuse of how much time it would take, when he has projects sitting around that are well over a year old at this point and haven't been worked on in ages.
@@NissanSkyline901 couldn't have said it better. As he mentioned he's had the car for a long time now, just rotting away. This is purely just for RUclips views. I loved his chanel, but now can't say the same. I honestly didn't like him making fun of the car, we all started there we all made mistakes. Shitting on it and shitting on the guy who made it was a low point and uncalled for. He should know better, look at his cars.
I've watched this channel for few years now and absolutely love the content. Huge respect for your work. That being said, this video was disappointing for me. I think the draw of you channel is in your build content, your willingness to tackle crazy projects, and your respect for the automotive community in all its forms. Little of that was on display here. Even if you realized you didn't want to/couldn't do this build the way you planned, I think this end to a (controversial) icon was just kinda sad and flat. I would have much rather seen you track down the original builder and work with them to remake the car, even lean into its absurdity further than the first build with crazy power, absurdity lights, a super lightweight body kit etc. I hope my and some of the other similar comments are interpretated as constructive criticism that you can take advantage of going forward. Definitely excited for what you will do next!
That Civic was definitely rebuildable. It was an Iconic car worth building. It should have been passed on to a real Honda enthusiast that would have been more positive. Another thing why would you hunt down a Type R for an awd Kswap? If the Type R isnt original you might as well use a base model shell. You want to know how I know your not into Honda's...
Tavarish is a real stand up guy... he gives back alot and does a lot for others.... he might not finish all his projects but he has a big heart.... blessings everytime 🙏🙏🙏
I’d love to see you recreate that body kit ok another civic, but what ever car you do, I’d love to see a custom body kit that’s inspired by the original.
You need to being in Kyle from Boostedboiz and Brent from PFI Speed as "consultants". An AWD Integra would be epic, reasonable turbo (Kyle just pushed a 2 liter to 1400 wheel hp) and a drivable clutch to be a true street fighter.
Nice. As owner of 5 cars with this platform, I think it deserves to be saved. In some way at least. Seeing it die is just sad. I know firsthand how they rust though, and I understand it is mostly unsaveable. Alexa, *play Rage your dream.* R.I.P. Keiji fujiwara R.I.P. This ricer civic gg rust
@Jim jibroni that's the truth. All about revenue. I'd be happy if he stole Hoovies formula and shipped off a few of the projects to local shops. Could kickstart a couple channels and we'd get to see the final product. I just want to see the outcome of the Lexus and the SL55
The funny thing about this always being the go-to "rice" image is that it's not even that bad. There were so many completely kludged body kits, horrible paint jobs, Pep Boys glued-on specials, etc. out there and yet this fairly clean looking symmetrical car with all-metal bodywork was the one that got called out. Is it a legit track stormer? not really. Is it the worst modified car? not even close. The only real flaw was bad paint work and a lack of proper body drains to keep the body from rusting. Completely undeserved reputation IMO.
Personally I would’ve welded a really thorough cage in it and lemons raced it. Assuming anything could weld to that thing. But I don’t blame you for mercy killing it.
Did you really just bought that to tear it apart? Honestly it would have been better if you had sent it to an automotive museum, this is a little piece of history after all.
He bought it to restore it... then discovered it was a pile of rust held together by poorly applied bondo. That much rust made that thing a lost cause and no museum would have bothered restoring it either. Every time they got under a panel water seeped out... meaning everything inside that car was rusting away.
Would’ve been cool to see a tribute build of this civic either with this shell or a better one and stick that k24 turbo awd package in it but it would be a lot of work…
step one: remove all windows and interior step two: Get it blasted all clean. step three: remove all rust and bad metal step four: Restore all metal step five: do body work its possible, i have seen worse restored
I would love to see a complete rebuild! Those are the videos that are just the best. Your Gallardo and Merci rebuilds were my favorite on your channel!
Would’ve loved to see you blow up or bury this thing but oh well 🤓 my idea for that $10k pile of parts is to buy another one of these Civic hatches, make it a monster with all that stuff, track down and contact the original owner of the ricer Civic that made the kit himself and recruit him to help make another identical one (properly this time of course) so you can make the most unassuming super car killer of a Civic ever
that k24 engine would be a really nice option for sleeper honda civic eg6 or honda fit ge. used to have honda fit ge with b16b swap, it quite a good car.
I got a piece!!! #89!!! Truly an awesome conversation piece! Going to frame the shirt and piece and hang it on my wall. Thanks for the special message on the container as well! You're the greatest, ...glad I could help with the cause!
I already love the idea that it will be a AWD kswap and boosted. I like the Type R. However if you can't find one. I'd love to see it done to a 96-00 civic si Coupe. Besides that I love the channel and Hi from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
its kinda rediculous they call the car/owner a ricer when he built this during a period that it was cool to do.thats like hating people for their pictures of them in bell bottoms in the 60s. infact thie period this car was made was the most fun period for car enthusiest where you can do anything you imagine without scrutiny and really set a path for others,doing headlight/tail light conversions and creating a one off car was really fun times and felt good to have somthing knowone else had .compare that to now where you cant use as much imagination and have to build a look that follows the herd of sheep,so much more imagination and creativity back then.
7:57 I actually thought that was just a random explosion sound effect added to the impact at first, but of course, later in the video, it was confirmed to be a transformer explosion.
Destroying that was just cheap views. Lots of people would have bought it and restored it. Ok it's not to everyone's taste but like it or not it's a piece of car history.
I've slowly come to the realization it doesn't matter what we tell you we want you to build you're not gonna build it. In the last four or five years I think I've seen you finish maybe 3 builds? the rest where all "hey guys new project on the channel we're gonna do this, and that to it it's gonna be awesome." then next video it's rolled under or on to the lifts or back in some corner and never another video about it until you realize you've got 40+ cars and it's time to sell them.... Good luck with whatever you decide to build. I just hope whatever it is you actually finish it, instead of us having to watch it set in the background of other videos collecting dust.
Honestly would’ve loved to see you sell more random pieces off the civic. Like take it to a meet, and chop off parts for people to buy by the pound like it’s a deli 🤣 own a little piece of internet history. Hope the money raised by the wing parts help your friend ❤️
Two ideas for those Honda parts.. First is a retro mod AWD Prelude, wide body of course. Second, is a lifted 'bug out' vehicle, using something mundane like an Accord, but turned total badass. Love seeing lifted cars that were never meant to be lifted!
Prelude or crx are great ideas. I dont know if an accord can also take the parts, but it would also he interesting as well. Integras and civics seem to be done to death

I will echo what ive seen. A del sol build would be amazing! Light, fun, and still a civic technically.
Totally agree. Those components in a Del Sol would be awesome. If he could make them fit
I came to say Del Sol too. They're fun, and relatively rare at least in my area.
Couldn't agree more! 500+ bhp and 4WD would really do it justice.
Yeah del sol, getting everything to fit in an older crx would be aids af. Also this way you don't have to mess with a type r platform... honda people be cray cray about type r.
If you're going to do a delsol might as well cut out the trunk and go mid engine.
That rust bucket would have been the only Honda build I would want to watch 🤷♂️
Yeah same... i skipped through the video and all of a sudden he just got rid of it seeing he could've actually done something
Same 😞
Agreed
To be honest I would have totally cut all the panels off and made templates for fiberglass and found a clean shell and rebuilt it from the ground up. That civic felt like it came straight out of the 90s.
2000's *
So it survived this long, minding its own business, then a RUclipsr buys it and destroys it :(
right???? anything is possible with time and money! This was a hugeee letdown.
You act like it’s an animal. It’s not. It’s a car destined for scrap and instead it’s being used for something.
@ZacCal you wouldn’t get it…
Fish your misunderstanding here, the car was being eaten away by rust, no engine and its not even allowed to be driven on the road. So he did what he had to do, now we can miss it all we like
Definitely don’t watch whistlindiesel 😂
Disappointed to say the least.
I agree the car is a complete rust bucket.
It did not deserve to be made fun of, you among everyone should know how much time and effort it takes. This was an internet legend, it was done in a shed with no expertise. All hand made, and that gained my respect. The outcome of this series was disappointing, not with the car, but how you handled the entire situation.
No it does deserve to be mocked. It is fucking awful.
@@tdsthedevilsadvocate7111 to each their own buddy.
A literal piece of automotive history
I have to agree. I would have much rather it have been sent off to someone willing to do the work for the sake of automotive meme history than see it get cut up and destroyed. I honestly didn't expect much different from Tavarish, though. What I also find kind of annoying is that he uses the excuse of how much time it would take, when he has projects sitting around that are well over a year old at this point and haven't been worked on in ages.
@@NissanSkyline901 couldn't have said it better. As he mentioned he's had the car for a long time now, just rotting away.
This is purely just for RUclips views. I loved his chanel, but now can't say the same.
I honestly didn't like him making fun of the car, we all started there we all made mistakes. Shitting on it and shitting on the guy who made it was a low point and uncalled for. He should know better, look at his cars.
Man I miss you actually wrenching on the Lamborghini in your garage. Nothing ever gets built now.
Yeah I've mostly stopped watching because of that too tbh
@@AngySumo I miss Jerrod
I've watched this channel for few years now and absolutely love the content. Huge respect for your work. That being said, this video was disappointing for me. I think the draw of you channel is in your build content, your willingness to tackle crazy projects, and your respect for the automotive community in all its forms. Little of that was on display here. Even if you realized you didn't want to/couldn't do this build the way you planned, I think this end to a (controversial) icon was just kinda sad and flat. I would have much rather seen you track down the original builder and work with them to remake the car, even lean into its absurdity further than the first build with crazy power, absurdity lights, a super lightweight body kit etc. I hope my and some of the other similar comments are interpretated as constructive criticism that you can take advantage of going forward. Definitely excited for what you will do next!
They would have to replace the whole shell of the car, and rebuild the kit from scratch. That is a huge undertaking and not worth it. Nostalgia or not
That Civic was definitely rebuildable. It was an Iconic car worth building. It should have been passed on to a real Honda enthusiast that would have been more positive. Another thing why would you hunt down a Type R for an awd Kswap? If the Type R isnt original you might as well use a base model shell. You want to know how I know your not into Honda's...
that's my thought. i'm pretty sure you could find a less-rusty civic roller to bolt that stuff on at a pick-a-part or otherwise.
it's sad that it ended like this and some stupid minivan from pimp my ride didn't
Tavarish is a real stand up guy... he gives back alot and does a lot for others.... he might not finish all his projects but he has a big heart.... blessings everytime 🙏🙏🙏
I’d love to see you recreate that body kit ok another civic, but what ever car you do, I’d love to see a custom body kit that’s inspired by the original.
A Prelude.
The AWD Civic has been done to death, but could you Could you imagine a 600hp AWD Prelude?
should’ve 3d scanned, still try to resto it this car is iconic
I feel bad for the kid that built that civic just to have the entire car community clown on him. That was A LOT of work.
You need to being in Kyle from Boostedboiz and Brent from PFI Speed as "consultants". An AWD Integra would be epic, reasonable turbo (Kyle just pushed a 2 liter to 1400 wheel hp) and a drivable clutch to be a true street fighter.
Ima need to see those dyno settings, before I believe that read out. That 1400hp 2 liter just sounds insane
It's on his channel. He took it to fuel tech and had it on their dyno. Still had a little wiggle room to push more but it's safe at 1400
@@jimpettit6310 and then it blew up😕
Nice. As owner of 5 cars with this platform, I think it deserves to be saved. In some way at least. Seeing it die is just sad. I know firsthand how they rust though, and I understand it is mostly unsaveable.
Alexa, *play Rage your dream.*
R.I.P. Keiji fujiwara
R.I.P. This ricer civic
gg rust
Glutton for punishment huh?
This one is way too bad to even consider trying tobsave
even to have just captured a 3D scan of the bodywork before scrapping it, so if anyone did want to replicate it, they could.
initialize your dreams...
Tavarish can you start working on cars again I miss it. I want to see some of these projects finished
Please!! All he does is talk and talk and nothing ever get done or finished. Unsubscribe if I were you.
@Jim jibroni that's the truth. All about revenue.
I'd be happy if he stole Hoovies formula and shipped off a few of the projects to local shops. Could kickstart a couple channels and we'd get to see the final product. I just want to see the outcome of the Lexus and the SL55
You're on the wrong automotive channel if you want to see finished projects.
The funny thing about this always being the go-to "rice" image is that it's not even that bad. There were so many completely kludged body kits, horrible paint jobs, Pep Boys glued-on specials, etc. out there and yet this fairly clean looking symmetrical car with all-metal bodywork was the one that got called out. Is it a legit track stormer? not really. Is it the worst modified car? not even close. The only real flaw was bad paint work and a lack of proper body drains to keep the body from rusting. Completely undeserved reputation IMO.
Im loving this as a 90s generations.
Crazy to think this car was so iconic its what got me into the hinda game you really should have brought this car back smh
I'd love to see you slap that powertrain to a Integra.
Personally I would’ve welded a really thorough cage in it and lemons raced it. Assuming anything could weld to that thing. But I don’t blame you for mercy killing it.
Now there's going to be some crazy bastard that goes on a quest to rebuild the most hated honda civic from all the pieces welded together
i would’ve bought it from you when you didn’t break the wing for a good amount of money that you could give to your neighbor shop
That it is all custom made metal keeps amazing me. The kid that made this did a great job, except for not sealing it but he is forgiven
Did you really just bought that to tear it apart?
Honestly it would have been better if you had sent it to an automotive museum, this is a little piece of history after all.
He bought it to restore it... then discovered it was a pile of rust held together by poorly applied bondo. That much rust made that thing a lost cause and no museum would have bothered restoring it either. Every time they got under a panel water seeped out... meaning everything inside that car was rusting away.
@@JP_43 Museums often have vehicles as they are, the F&F 1 blown up Eclipse is in a museum just as it was after the explosion.
@@YOEL_44 You're comparing a screen used movie car to an internet meme car...
@@JP_43 It was probably most well known the meme than the specific vehicle of the explosion scene, I totally cannot see the issue.
@@YOEL_44 So you think the largest car movie franchise in the world and a weird internet famous project car have the same draw to museum visitors?
Would’ve been cool to see a tribute build of this civic either with this shell or a better one and stick that k24 turbo awd package in it but it would be a lot of work…
Wow, you've got to be kidding me. Now that's straight up insulting.
step one: remove all windows and interior
step two: Get it blasted all clean.
step three: remove all rust and bad metal
step four: Restore all metal
step five: do body work
its possible, i have seen worse restored
I think a 4th generation Prelude would make a good candidate for that swap
I prefer the 5th gen but 4th is a good candidate too
4th gen Preludes should've been rwd and rwd only
4th gens are cool, but they're kinda classics now. Be a little bit of a shame to modify them that much now I think.
@@ThaMythbuster unless you find one that already has problems and isn't clean
....why?
I would love to see a complete rebuild! Those are the videos that are just the best. Your Gallardo and Merci rebuilds were my favorite on your channel!
Damn..... that would have been the most epic k awd build of all time 😢
Did nothing but humiliate and shit on the car he just didn’t know what he had!
So sad the car gone like that,will have love it been restored
I'd rather see this car reborn not cut up
Would’ve loved to see you blow up or bury this thing but oh well 🤓 my idea for that $10k pile of parts is to buy another one of these Civic hatches, make it a monster with all that stuff, track down and contact the original owner of the ricer Civic that made the kit himself and recruit him to help make another identical one (properly this time of course) so you can make the most unassuming super car killer of a Civic ever
The chisel part was satisfying 😄
that k24 engine would be a really nice option for sleeper honda civic eg6 or honda fit ge.
used to have honda fit ge with b16b swap, it quite a good car.
"Too far gone" no way. In the UK that rust is in a 10 year old car. I would have restored it back to its former glory, it's was an icon after all
Exactly
I got a piece!!! #89!!! Truly an awesome conversation piece! Going to frame the shirt and piece and hang it on my wall. Thanks for the special message on the container as well! You're the greatest, ...glad I could help with the cause!
You've should made moulds out of it instead of fooling around just for some youtube likes...
“I regret to inform you that I made another regretful decision… and you’re gonna love it!”
And I will. Oh I will.
I already love the idea that it will be a AWD kswap and boosted. I like the Type R. However if you can't find one. I'd love to see it done to a 96-00 civic si Coupe. Besides that I love the channel and Hi from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
MotionAutoTV did it too a yellow 2000 civic on their channel
its kinda rediculous they call the car/owner a ricer when he built this during a period that it was cool to do.thats like hating people for their pictures of them in bell bottoms in the 60s.
infact thie period this car was made was the most fun period for car enthusiest where you can do anything you imagine without scrutiny and really set a path for others,doing headlight/tail light conversions and creating a one off car was really fun times and felt good to have somthing knowone else had
.compare that to now where you cant use as much imagination and have to build a look that follows the herd of sheep,so much more imagination and creativity back then.
Sly middle finger at the end lmao byebye
Keep up the great work man it’s amazing what you do
What work? He did shit in this vid other than talk and talk and get rid of the car. Garbage.
The work somone put into this car is insane
7:57 I actually thought that was just a random explosion sound effect added to the impact at first, but of course, later in the video, it was confirmed to be a transformer explosion.
Destroying that was just cheap views. Lots of people would have bought it and restored it. Ok it's not to everyone's taste but like it or not it's a piece of car history.
I hate to be that guy but I feel like in the right hands it could of been saved, it’s just too cool of a relic to be torn apart
can't spell car without cardio 🤯
bruuh thas crazy wtf
Haha 2nd comment from youtube
this has 4 likes bruh
I don't know enough about them to know, but is a Del Sol similar enough to a regular Civic to bolt this stuff in? That would be a crazy swap.
Some things but they weigh alot
I've slowly come to the realization it doesn't matter what we tell you we want you to build you're not gonna build it. In the last four or five years I think I've seen you finish maybe 3 builds? the rest where all "hey guys new project on the channel we're gonna do this, and that to it it's gonna be awesome." then next video it's rolled under or on to the lifts or back in some corner and never another video about it until you realize you've got 40+ cars and it's time to sell them.... Good luck with whatever you decide to build. I just hope whatever it is you actually finish it, instead of us having to watch it set in the background of other videos collecting dust.
Isn’t the Del Sol on a civic chassis? Could be terribly awesome!
Forget the Integra. Do a Honda Wagon build!
Honestly would’ve loved to see you sell more random pieces off the civic. Like take it to a meet, and chop off parts for people to buy by the pound like it’s a deli 🤣 own a little piece of internet history. Hope the money raised by the wing parts help your friend ❤️
holy shit did you just murder a meme????? im shocked and a little sick to be honest. We would have watched that year of rebuilding lol
What have you done
Two ideas for those Honda parts.. First is a retro mod AWD Prelude, wide body of course. Second, is a lifted 'bug out' vehicle, using something mundane like an Accord, but turned total badass. Love seeing lifted cars that were never meant to be lifted!
that car is NOT a risk for insurance, as it doesn't even drive. Accidents hardly ever happens to non driving cars.
It would be cool to see you build a awd del sol.
I think you should put the Honda engine in a classic mini.
It would proper rip around and people love minis!
Like the B18 that Mighty Car Mods put into a mini?
Prelude or crx are great ideas. I dont know if an accord can also take the parts, but it would also he interesting as well. Integras and civics seem to be done to death
The 7th gen Accord is factory K series. There's no K series parts available for a Prelude.
i lowkey really wana see this restored
