@@shabba890 this is the first video I've done totally solo, I featured on a few videos on a channel called Epic Car Show with my cousin but this is my first attempt editing and creating videos. Really appreciate the comment. Thanks so much!
Thanks so so much for the comment. Really appreciate it. And picking up on the editing. Put a lot of time into it I'm just really happy to be producing content again
You mean the 2.2 diesel these have, but yeaaaa they don’t map to 250bhp😂even a stage 2 on them (eg with the clutch) is 205 on a good day! The BMW 2.0 “190” engines (actually run 176) which have a twinscroll do 220 on a stage 1, and 240-250 on a stage 2, but well out of that budget though - just saying they are the best 2.0 diesels you can buy although the GTD diesels are similar and are also very nice to run and drive imo. Same with them 220 on a s1.
Genuinely didn't know that and that's absolutely my fault not sure how that slipped last the 100 times I edited it I know it's a 2.2 what a sausage. Thank you for the education I deffo needed it. I have to say for £250 I honestly don't think you can find much better then a sad old diesel civic. So weird that someone on marketplace would make up power figures. How odd. 😂 Thank you for watching!!
@ not your fault mate neither is it a problem this was a great video and really loving your channel!! Wish you all the best going forward I know you can succeed in this, got massive potential💪go on brother you’re gonna be at 100k by end of the year I’m saying. To go even further the only fault with this video is that it wasn’t longer🤣really looking forward to watching the next one where you take it on a road trip!
You should be working with Auto Alex now Taylor is leaving. You come across so well with presenting always full of character, clearly love cars and have a passion for this. Loved the editing on this one so glad you are carrying on.
Yehhh it's only my dream come true, no pressure. In all seriousness I really appreciate the comment. As long as I can carry on with car content I'm happy! Thanks so much.
Morning young nephew. Well done, very entertaining, good editing and impressive viewing figures so far for your second video. Looking forward to the next one. Uncle T.👍🍺
Cracking vid Matt! Great editing! Looking forward to the future vids. Still loving my Defender Adventure T-Shirt i picked up at Shedfest last year, held up really well to washes and bang on quality 💪
Yesss mateee!!! Glad to see you here. Thanks for picking up on the editing put a lot into this one and I honestly think the next video is so much better. Fantastic news about the defender shirt. I effectively live in my shirts (it's cheaper for me) so loved in them for a good few months before selling them.
You are absolutely right. The turbo lag is so incredible on this one it makes me feel like it has been remapped but 250bhp is very generous. I knew it said that in the description I had to get it. I was surprised at how fast it really was and for £250 it's not half bad but you are absolutely right! Fun fact I actually sold it back to the previous owner after I filmed next week's road trip!
@MoneyPitMatt not bad. It'll probably feel quicker because it's a diesel. The second car I owned was a 1.9tdi pd100 fabia that looked granny spec when I got it and had only 10bhp more than my first car but felt so much quicker because of the torque
@olliewilkinson2229 still not 250bhp. I mean it would seem possible for 220bhp but considering the condition of the car I doubt they would have spent loads on new internals
Yeh very dull and surprisingly modern for me but absolutely great value for money. Deffo worth a fair bit in parts. It's got one more big challenge to do before I get rid! Thank you for the message
The clios aren’t made to be drag raced. Or built for speed. All about the handling in those (owned a 197 a Meg 275 trophy and a 300 trophy) Knew the BMW would have you. You did well for £250 but there’s no way that civic is making that power but it being a diesel certainly helps with the torque. New sub 👍🏻
Really fair comment. first of all thanks for watching the video. You are absolutely right while it said 250bhp in the advert it absolutely isn't close. Not a slow at all for £250. I absolutely LOVE these Clio's so great choice, my dad had a 182 and of course I've been out in this one and you are right. It's all about being able to rag them all the time on track the handling is like absolutely nothing else and I would have had my ass handed to me if we were on track with a big heavy civic. Thanks again, great to have you on the channel!
Loving your work so far. Cheap shitboxes are my thing so I'm looking forward to more of your content. At least the civic was in better condition than the felicia.
@@andrewwillson7217 honestly the Felecia looked terrible but mechanically it was actually fine. I promise you this civic gets much worse. It shows it's true colours on the massive road trip I take it on. Thanks so much for supporting loads of shit box content coming
I was wondering what had happened and then this video popped up in my recommended. Good luck with the channel Matt. Be great to catch up and compare our £200 rot boxes
@@MoneyPitMatt We're following in your footsteps and we're off to Scotland next weekend in our £200 Mondeo. I loved your video, your storytelling was great.
The mk8 civic dosent deserve the hate, Its only hated because the design its diffrent to the previouse generations. Think about the mk 9 civic sure its similar but you can't tell me with a straight face it dosent look 10 times worse than a mk8 (Not that the mk9 is bad) and I dont see the mk9 being hated on so consistantly.
Really really solid point! I actually had the mk9 as my daily the face lift model and it was great. I genuinely preferred how the mk8 handled and felt to drive. Thank you for the comment!
Im effectively basing my entire channel on doing stupid stuff with cars for sale at scrap value and seeing what they will do. There is a lot of things wrong with this car I couldnt really put on youtube!
I will always focus on sub £500 cars. It's my way of life 😅 but very very difficult finding good ones. Id argue the civic wasn't a good one as we find out on the next trip but it is getting harder to find cheap bangers! Thank you for the comment!!
@@rogerthecabinboy Turns out they are great cars. Even with this ridiculously ropey one. The turbo lag from the map is silly BUT as you say the torque is insane!
Now that Josh Greswell has exposed Taylor Hetherington's shady business. Roary and Auto Alex will be struggling, its time for you to make moves. Fantastic presenting and producing. They gave a whole team of editors snd camera men and you did this solo...think about it.
Alex has been nothing but lovely to me on the occasions I have seen him. I get it's a tricky one with Taylor at the end of the day what he did is wrong but the reaction has been crazy imo. Alex and his channel shouldn't have suffered for something Taylor did. It could have been handled a LOT better but it just means they will work hard and make some great content. Thank you so much for the kind comments on mine it's just me and 2 second hand go pros and a second hand drone. Absolutely love doing this.
I had a few friends at a local car club back in the day that went for is200's as a base to engine swap or seriously tune up. I knew it would be a struggle to get 250bhp for £250 so was hoping for a abandoned project or engine swap gone wrong kind of deal
OMG how can someone let a poor Honda get in that state😂 A 2.2 dorsal can be remapped to around 200 brake, same as the type r but with more torque…. Poor civic - love my civic - had it 12 years now… love it
Yeh I couldn't believe the state it was in. Honestly it was really rough. Not sure how I managed to call it a 2L then sit and edit it for about 20 hours and still not pick up that I called it a 2L and not a 2.2L. I had to buy it with the description saying 250bhp ....I mean when does fb marketplace ever lie? 🤷♀️
@@PumaFred09 thank you so much! Really appreciate the comment. I've got a massive road trip I'm really excited to show next. Things don't go to plan but it's a mad adventure!
I'm surprised you say it's not as practical as other cars in it's class, I've got the Type R of this era and with the seats folded down its like a bloody van haha
So true! It is really good and you have the funny seats that fold up as well but I've had the focus from this year as well and while not as fast or fun or well equipped a MASSIVE boot space
That's what I thought, I mean it is effectively scrap all the interior and exterior is ruined plus it has a number of mechanical issues. It makes for a great adventure on the next video
OMG how can someone let a poor Honda get in that state😂 A 2.2 dorsal can be remapped to around 200 brake, same as the type r but with more torque…. Poor civic - love my civic - had it 12 years now… love mine
I can't believe how bad it really was 😂 they are fantastic cars. Not sure how I managed to call this a 2L and watched the edit over about 400 times but never the less they are solid cars the 2.2 D
Poor George, nobody has seen him since 🤣😥Watch out the people of Surrey for Matt's Civic ❤Strip the civic once finished and make some money, I would say keep it as a daily, but not sure how many cars you have
George isn't doing to good..... Unfortunately the civic had a LOT of problems with it so I take it on one last road trip that will come out soon. I had to scrap it as I simply couldn't trust anyone else driving it on the road
@@MoneyPitMatt I hope George recovers and gets the help he needs. I am looking forward to the next video. Shame you had to scrap it, but if it is that bad you did the right thing.
@@websurfer1585 totally get that. We did do basic checks behind the scenes but obviously it wasn't very entertaining so didn't put that in the main video. We had a big run off etc. Also worth mentioning I didn't take the civic up that fast as the BMW absolutely thrashed me so I didnt try to chase speed. Appreciate the concern and the comment and I know things do happen.
Just came across this channel and 250 for a car and the challenge is great had to subscribe think this channel will definitely take off for sure i take it the Honda must have some sort of mods to produce that kind of power ?
Amazing thank you so so much really appreciate it. Yeh took me a while to find. It's been remapped had the clutch done and I'm suurreeee some other parts. The turbo lag is insane though 😂 it's done 200,000 miles so engine is very tired now but I was surprised how well it pulled. If I had the budget I would have LOVED to have put it on a dyno
I owned a mk8 civic 2 years ago, had it 6 years never saw a light on the dash. I will die on the hill that they are the best car ever made and they're dirt cheap too
I mention this in the next video. Absolutely bullet proof. This one has 200,000 miles and clearly been used and abused..no dash lights. Lots of clonks and horrible noises but still did what it had to do. And a great driver's car!
Absolutely, full commitment. Over 1.5K on mics cameras etc. Over 30 hours to edit this one and learn the software, thousands on new cars and fuel. I've got some great stuff coming. Full commitment
@@natk8673 Challenge absolutely failed mate. I definitely contracted something sitting in the civic for that long as well. Still not bad power for £250!
@MoneyPitMatt yeah, mines an aerodeck, really rare these days. It's a shame honda never sold the ridgeline over here, a honda build double cab pickup with the 3.2 v6 engine from the nsx in. Only sold them in America 😥
@@longbar2344 this one really was £250 bought from the back of a tow truck to do banger racing. 1 month of MOT. It was effectively a write off. New every panel was dented or scraped, different tyres, new front right coil, smashed windscreen, new tyres, steering rack, ruined interior would need a new dash and door cards, electrical issues etc etc. Have a look at mk8 civics they don't go for much! And of course I would have loved to have it tested but when a FB add says 250bhp...it must be true 🤷♀️
You know the reason for the other channel “failing” running out of money? Do more challenges with the car and either break and then scrap or sell at the end with them so it doesn’t cost you 500 to make a video! Just some advice, the one thing that annoys people on auto Alex videos is that they just buy buy buy without actually using the car or doing anything, so don’t fall into that trap!
Thanks so much honestly great advice. So I'm restoring Ethan's focus, I've also got the All The Gear AI VW Golf video we are restoring. Full engine out job. I totally agree my formula will be buy under £500, tests, eveything wrong with kind of deal, fix or modify depending on car and then a big road trip special. Each video will explain at the end what happened to the car to prevent people not knowing the fate of the car. Few more videos coming super soon.
The fun thing is I actually sold it back to the guy I bought it from so he could use it for banger racing. There was a lot more wrong with this car that I will show in the next episode but I couldn't sell it to someone who would try and keep it on the road
I've got a 2006 Honda Civic 2.2 CDTi with 245,000 miles on the clock. Owned it for the last 8 years, and it's broken down ONCE in that time... cleaned out the EGR and it's running happy again! I absolutely love it, and I'm determined to get it over 250,000 👍 and then I'm contemplating doing a Mad Max off-road setup on it (raise it up a bit, chunkier tyres, front and rear skid plates, and hand spraying it with Raptor paint!)
This sounds absolutely insane!!!! I would LOVE to see some pics of it when you get it done. They are fantastic cars honestly I was so so surprised with it and used it as my daily for a good few months. Brilliant cars
Am i the only one.. that feels like the back end of the new Civics ... are way worse than this car.... ? Any day.. i would pick one of these '''space bubble'' cars for cheap over the new civics.. (YES as a driver you almost never see the backend of the car) but it wont change the fact that i cant stop thinking about how ugly the new civics back end looks like..
So so true, it's such a space nugget but I found it so weird to film as the proportions aren't right on it 😂 all day every day if have a shit box like this over a modern car and I've had a new shape civic. Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it
A 2.2 diesel honda won't make 250bhp be lucky get 200😅😅 got an accord with same engine only got to 180-190 stage 1 mapped there's got be something seriously up with the clio if the civic genuinely beat it
@@johnc9228 you are absolutely right. Weird because it was advertised as 250bhp and FB marketplace never lies. Still not bad going for £250. Absolutely love a accord. Used to have one I turned into a pick up and cut the back off. Great cars

So true! It is really good and you have the funny seats that fold up as well but I've had the focus from this year as well and while not as fast or fun or well equipped a MASSIVE boot space
I am amazed you got something road worthy for the price. It can't be much above what it would be worth as scrap?
That's what I thought, I mean it is effectively scrap all the interior and exterior is ruined plus it has a number of mechanical issues. It makes for a great adventure on the next video
@@MoneyPitMatt I look forward to see what you do with it.
OMG how can someone let a poor Honda get in that state😂
A 2.2 dorsal can be remapped to around 200 brake, same as the type r but with more torque….
Poor civic - love my civic - had it 12 years now… love mine
I can't believe how bad it really was 😂 they are fantastic cars. Not sure how I managed to call this a 2L and watched the edit over about 400 times but never the less they are solid cars the 2.2 D
Poor George, nobody has seen him since 🤣😥Watch out the people of Surrey for Matt's Civic ❤Strip the civic once finished and make some money, I would say keep it as a daily, but not sure how many cars you have
George isn't doing to good..... Unfortunately the civic had a LOT of problems with it so I take it on one last road trip that will come out soon. I had to scrap it as I simply couldn't trust anyone else driving it on the road
@@MoneyPitMatt I hope George recovers and gets the help he needs. I am looking forward to the next video. Shame you had to scrap it, but if it is that bad you did the right thing.
This is just my thing. Showing love for shitboxes. Have a Sub 💪🏼✊🏻❤️
Hahaha thanks so much, I'm only interested in shit boxes so plenty more content coming. Appreciate the sub!
Before i went so fast, I'd have made sure it could stop. 😯
@@websurfer1585 totally get that. We did do basic checks behind the scenes but obviously it wasn't very entertaining so didn't put that in the main video. We had a big run off etc. Also worth mentioning I didn't take the civic up that fast as the BMW absolutely thrashed me so I didnt try to chase speed. Appreciate the concern and the comment and I know things do happen.
I was rooting for the Lexus😅
The Lexus was awesome!!! But a bit too broken....as if that's possible for me 😅
Just came across this channel and 250 for a car and the challenge is great had to subscribe think this channel will definitely take off for sure i take it the Honda must have some sort of mods to produce that kind of power ?
Amazing thank you so so much really appreciate it. Yeh took me a while to find. It's been remapped had the clutch done and I'm suurreeee some other parts. The turbo lag is insane though 😂 it's done 200,000 miles so engine is very tired now but I was surprised how well it pulled. If I had the budget I would have LOVED to have put it on a dyno
@MoneyPitMatt be interesting to do a full service on it yourself then do a mpg test and a dyno
I owned a mk8 civic 2 years ago, had it 6 years never saw a light on the dash. I will die on the hill that they are the best car ever made and they're dirt cheap too
I mention this in the next video. Absolutely bullet proof. This one has 200,000 miles and clearly been used and abused..no dash lights. Lots of clonks and horrible noises but still did what it had to do. And a great driver's car!
Excellent editing
Honestly really appreciate that, spent days on the edit
@MoneyPitMatt it shows bud. Hard to believe you haven't been on RUclips for all that long
I hope you take better care of this channel than you did with the one you left...
Absolutely, full commitment. Over 1.5K on mics cameras etc. Over 30 hours to edit this one and learn the software, thousands on new cars and fuel. I've got some great stuff coming. Full commitment
@@MoneyPitMatt you got one more subscriber 😊
I bought a 1999 C230 kompressor estate with a supercharger mods for £250
Well you beat me!! Bloody hell how did you manage that, and a waggon as well!
@MoneyPitMatt yeah it was an auto the only let down. However the engine is now in my 190e. So all good 😊👍
@BoostWorx even still that's absolutely mad. Love that you engine swapped it into the 190. What a wicked build!
I had a 2006 one of those very comfortable and quite happily did 200km an hour with loads left got mine for 600 euro and sold it for 1000
They are great cars honestly! I was so surprised! What a profit
@MoneyPitMatt yeah I didn't really want to sell it but I already had a bmw 330CD and a 1.9 tdi polo
A £500 Jaaaaaaag
What could possibly go wrong with that 😂🤷🏻♂️
Hahahaha surely not a Jaguar Land Rover product going wrong???
Good luck with the channel
Thank you so so much I really appreciate it. Thank you for supporting!
Sooooooo challenge failed then, coz that car doesn't have 250bhp
@@natk8673 Challenge absolutely failed mate. I definitely contracted something sitting in the civic for that long as well. Still not bad power for £250!
@MoneyPitMatt yeah, can't go wrong with an old honda, I drive a 30 year old honda accord. Love it.
@natk8673 no way my old daily was a honda accord, cut the back of and turned it into a pick up etc for work. Absolutely great cars!
@MoneyPitMatt yeah, mines an aerodeck, really rare these days. It's a shame honda never sold the ridgeline over here, a honda build double cab pickup with the 3.2 v6 engine from the nsx in. Only sold them in America 😥
That's absolutely awesome. Yeh I've seen those but only at shows. What a sick car. Absolutely love it@@natk8673
My mind instantly thinks a mapped tt
OH GOD!!! Your mind is SO much better than mine why didn't I think of that. One that comes pre crashed so it's cheaper....
You must be not to far from me as i reckonised beachy head 😮im in eastbourne 😊
Hehehe we must be pretty close then 👀 great driving roads around these parts
well a civic ain't 250 for a start. power or price
@@longbar2344 this one really was £250 bought from the back of a tow truck to do banger racing. 1 month of MOT. It was effectively a write off. New every panel was dented or scraped, different tyres, new front right coil, smashed windscreen, new tyres, steering rack, ruined interior would need a new dash and door cards, electrical issues etc etc. Have a look at mk8 civics they don't go for much! And of course I would have loved to have it tested but when a FB add says 250bhp...it must be true 🤷♀️
You know the reason for the other channel “failing” running out of money? Do more challenges with the car and either break and then scrap or sell at the end with them so it doesn’t cost you 500 to make a video! Just some advice, the one thing that annoys people on auto Alex videos is that they just buy buy buy without actually using the car or doing anything, so don’t fall into that trap!
Thanks so much honestly great advice. So I'm restoring Ethan's focus, I've also got the All The Gear AI VW Golf video we are restoring. Full engine out job. I totally agree my formula will be buy under £500, tests, eveything wrong with kind of deal, fix or modify depending on car and then a big road trip special. Each video will explain at the end what happened to the car to prevent people not knowing the fate of the car. Few more videos coming super soon.
I feel sorry for whoever you bought that from haha
The fun thing is I actually sold it back to the guy I bought it from so he could use it for banger racing. There was a lot more wrong with this car that I will show in the next episode but I couldn't sell it to someone who would try and keep it on the road
@ haha brilliant, I’ve subbed so I’ll keep an eye out!
Enjoy these videos
Thanks so much, lots more coming!
Saab 9-5 Aero 2002-2005 😊
That's a really really great shout!!! I love those as well, why didn't I think of that 😂
I've got a 2006 Honda Civic 2.2 CDTi with 245,000 miles on the clock. Owned it for the last 8 years, and it's broken down ONCE in that time... cleaned out the EGR and it's running happy again!
I absolutely love it, and I'm determined to get it over 250,000 👍 and then I'm contemplating doing a Mad Max off-road setup on it (raise it up a bit, chunkier tyres, front and rear skid plates, and hand spraying it with Raptor paint!)
This sounds absolutely insane!!!! I would LOVE to see some pics of it when you get it done. They are fantastic cars honestly I was so so surprised with it and used it as my daily for a good few months. Brilliant cars
Am i the only one.. that feels like the back end of the new Civics ... are way worse than this car.... ?
Any day.. i would pick one of these '''space bubble'' cars for cheap over the new civics.. (YES as a driver you almost never see the backend of the car)
but it wont change the fact that i cant stop thinking about how ugly the new civics back end looks like..
So so true, it's such a space nugget but I found it so weird to film as the proportions aren't right on it 😂 all day every day if have a shit box like this over a modern car and I've had a new shape civic. Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it
A 2.2 diesel honda won't make 250bhp be lucky get 200😅😅 got an accord with same engine only got to 180-190 stage 1 mapped there's got be something seriously up with the clio if the civic genuinely beat it
@@johnc9228 you are absolutely right. Weird because it was advertised as 250bhp and FB marketplace never lies. Still not bad going for £250. Absolutely love a accord. Used to have one I turned into a pick up and cut the back off. Great cars
@MoneyPitMatt never believe peoples lies on marketplace 🤣
I have learnt from my mistakes 🤦♀️😂
What peach of a nugget
Peach is one word for it. Ive got a special coming soon with it, 30 min video across the uk....turns out she wasnt as great as I thought!
