- Hello everyone,
In this episode we bring you our buddy Chris who is active duty military for the US Marines! Thank you for your service and thank you for making it a career out of serving your country. However, he ended up making a career of building his Civic into a time jewel. Chris was stationed in Japan and on his free time he decided to visit the local junkyards, auto shops, and auctions and scored so many JDM goodies. What a legend lol He grew up in Virginia reading honda tuning, superstreet, and other shenanigan's that California was up to. Now, he is part of the Cali Honda scene! Awesome story and amazing build! Thank you for your time and we cannot wait to see what you do with this project! Thank you all for the support to #automotiveanatomy

That engine bay is marvelous this man has mad love for his ride much respect
17 years later and he still in love.
Those real mugen parts are worth 5x’s more than the actual car
I hear ya man. Thanks for the love.
And ?
Each individual part* 😹
@@hondamanvtec2894 nothing just showing these rare classic japanese parts are highly over priced nowaday
the actual mugen wing is around 1700$
in our country(near japan
ive seen this car online so many times..its beautiful,so simple and subtle yet, loaded with expensive ,rare parts.
I have 4 Hondas i think I'm becoming a Real Honda guy I guess 🤔 I love this cars
Haha MAYBE man might even have a bit of an addiction 🤣
I have a Civic EJ9 and S2000 AP1, I love Hondas lol
@@jovanemontes80 😆 I guess
I got 3 haha, all Honda guys I feel like they own more than one lmao
@@maksor2785 oooooh S2k is my attainable dream car. They are magnificent 👌. I have an EJ8 Civic rn (first car), i really want a DC5 too
Man that guy is bn all over the plays n shit super humble no hood n talking to a cop thats savage
Its a cultural thing, I noticed in usa cops vibe and are more friendly with white anglo people and they relate better . specially lots of usa anglo cops have military fantasies. As half Iraqi half Dominican usa white cops dont like me lol, i would get a ticket for wearing the wrong shoes.
Confetti seats 🔥
A rollin time capsule . Still lurkin in the shadows bro! . Automotive anatomy been steady climbin . Each upload is better then the last. ✊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man, every story is amazing in their own way man. I appreciate the love and support man.
The front lip story was hella funny.
agreed Eddie lol
@@AutomotiveAnatomy +0++
where can i buy eos lip and stirrups ????
This is by far one of the cleanest civics completely slept on. BEAUTIFUL BUILD
Glad you like it!
This guy made silver look good
Silver and black looks amazing
Love the love of the Honda brand and dedication to his Civic✌️
Thank you for tuning in man. I appreciate your time.
Glad guy is sticking with Honda, Honda ftw
Smartest thing i have read the entire day Cher lol Honda for life.
This is so nice! Makes me happy to see a Marine in something other than a lifted Dodge 2500. I'd much rather see this car than a "nice" BMW any day if the week.
Finally a Honda Mag flash back. 1st Nads from Hoonigan gets free EG hatchback built by the team and lastly the reminisce of 2000s from this car 20yrs later.
I appreciate your time Marios. THank you for the positive comment.
Great stories connected to this car! I love hearing stuff like this. Everyone is in such a hurry to finish a car. It’s about the experiences on the way, not the finished product. If you ever finish it, might as well sell it.
I hear ya Jacob. Taking your time is the fun part. Sourcing parts and meeting people is the fun thing to do.
Rare parts thanks for sharing never seen that mugen slot cover by the radio clean clean 🧼 build dont leave that out in the street 😂
cool Civic!!!! remind me of the one that a friend used to have!! little story : One time , she came out of work at 5pm ( Macy's at the Mall in Orlando, FL) and the car was sitting on blocks!!!! someone had stolen her wheels in broad daytime!!
Yea man, bummer that happen. That is the down side to having old school cars.
Homeboy looks like Dustin Poirier from the ufc 🔥😆
Super buff dude for sure lol
This is sick man, love this guy’s story; another banger vid from automotive anatomy
this car is amazing, his attention to detail is crazy
Super Crazy man
This car is awesome! Love all the Mugen parts, I must admit I’m a bit of a Mugen fan myself 👍👍 you can definitely tell that a lot of hart and soul went into this build! Hope the owner goes for a Mugen steering wheel next. 👍👍😃😃😃
This video made me get 1997 Civic coupe I’ve met Chris personally him and his car were a big inspiration for my build really cool dude glad I was able to meet him eibach meet 2022
Chris is a super down to earth guy. He also serves in the military and we are thankful for that. Thank you for the support.
Crazy to think this guy has had this thing for the same amount of years Ive been alive for lol
One day you will be in the same spot Anthony. Take your time man.
Looks nice. Like the silver on chrome. Cool wheels.
I think so too! Thanks for watching man.
I really like this guy and his car. I share the same love for this chassis and this is inspiring
I am glad you enjoyed the video Trace. Keep building.
Beautiful car man! This is why i have kept my 92 si hatch for so long. Love to hear everyones story
Couldn't agree more! A civic can be done in so many way but the stories will always be special and different.
Now this is a classic build. Salute for staying loyal to the car you built.
Thank you for your time Jason.
The story of how he found that lip at a Auto Hobby Center on a Military base is LEGIT!!! That's how I found my seats for a '93 EX coupe when I was stationed at Ft. Hood! The younger E-1 thru E-4 blow their money easily on bs stuff if they're living in the barracks. As promised on IG (@nexgen_r7)
I showed my students this video in class and few them appreciate the build we're doing even more. Lately on my silver '97 LX sedan in the Auto shop. Great interview!!! SoCal is the Mecca for the Honda scene
hahaha i should of joined the military to get the rare parts lol Thank you for being super supportive and please say HI to your students from my end. What are you guys working on for the sedan? I appreciate the support and yes Socal is the MECA
@@AutomotiveAnatomy I bought the car as a daily...sight unseen I know😑 But I knew what would happen to it if the car was sold to some other guys aka stripped apart for the Honda Domani parts & B-series swap. Long story short, since early Oct. til now, we've turned into using it as " lesson plans" for sections on Auto Brakes, Electrical, and Suspension systems so far! A lot of parts have been replaced, repaired or upgraded. Also trying to show them that keeping it simple & clean goes a long way
Dmannnnn that’s Beautiful built !!! Need that shift knob for my R
Awesome Dude 👍🏼
Hands down best car in the scene
Happy to have seen it in person
You killin it Gus Gus 💋
Thanks 👍 Nestorin. I appreciate your time man. besos back lol
Super sweet car..total passion project.Thanks for your service!🇺🇸💪
Love my 97 civic regardless of how expensive it's coming to restore it lol
It takes time. Keep at it Valerie
that is a very clean build might have to get some polishing done on my k20 soon.

Cleanest Ek I've ever seen

You nailed it again bro another awesome build shout-out to the owner 👍
Dope as always!
Appreciate it! Thank you for your time!
Predetonation puts so much stress on the bearings. If you cant find any 93, throw some octane booster in it. Or even upgrade the fuel system to run e85
Thank you for your input Jordan.
Mugen style is real nice.
HE'S DONE A GREAT AMAZING JOB ON KEEPIN IT NICE & SUPER CLEAN GREAT "MOOOGEN·MUGEN" THEME VERY TASTEFUL PARTS SOME RIDICULOUS EXPENSIVE PARTS I LO💚E IT AND WHAT HE HAD THE MOTOR BLOCK & TRANSMISSION FINISH WITH LOOKS AMAZING PLUS THANKS FOR THE ACCIDENT "PRE·VIEW" ON THE NEW PATTERN (BOY·TOY) FOR JACKIE AND AS ALWAYS THANK YOU GUS ✌OUT
Extensive parts for sure lol it helps that he source them from th emotherland lol
@@AutomotiveAnatomy THAT'S A HUGE ADVANTAGE THE ONLY THING I'M OUT ON THE LOOK OUT IS A "REAR O.E.M. [H]ONDA LIP" FOR A 2OOO CIVIC COUPE THAT'S MAINLY IT FOR ME GUS
Nice built
Thank you for tuning in Leo. I appreciate you man.
Beautiful 🙌. I got the same wheels in my garage. Love them even though I barely drive on them
Oooooof can’t wait to have one of my first adult purchases being my dream Honda 👀👀
Such a nice build! It would be perfect if he slapped a hood on that thing but like he said it's not my car. It just looks so incomplete. Good stuff tho. Nice story as well
he has the hood but loves driving like that. Thanks for watching Ramon.
@@AutomotiveAnatomy yea I know he stated that on the interview...it just looks so weird and incomplete driving around like that. Strange lol but it's a beautiful build ❤️thanks for the content

Sick car bro love the engine bay very clean
