Longtime 1999 Civic EX owner here, bought it new, still my daily 240k miles later. I'm only 3 minutes in... but the story of the car being sold and bought back is crazy, because my dad did the exact same thing! Big difference is the car my dad sold and bought back was a 1934 Ford pickup, and it was running when he owned it, and he bought it back in parts. Still in my garage, it's my dream car project...
@@pancho8708 I mean if all other conditions stand, minimal rust, clean underbody, no crazy fixes needed. I would say that's fair. I bought mine for 3k at 160,000 miles but it has a dent in the rear right quarter panel
@@nmanglallan the one I found is an ex. Does that matter? Car is nice. It’s black. Has tint and Koenig rims. Looks like stock exhaust. Looks like newer headlights and taillights si ones. Says clean blue title
@@pancho8708 the only difference between the ex and si is the ex has a d16y8 and a si has a b16. D series is a single cam vtec motor and the B series is a dual cam vtec motor. Nowadays, the more fair market is in d series civics, b series are all overpriced nowadays so you're good!
I would recommend swapping an exterior door handles to sedan rear door handles. It will remove that key lock feature which could stop some people try to get into ur car by picking ur door lock. Since it's an ex model u can use ur key fob to lock/unlock. I did it and 3 weeks later, my brand new door handles were scratched up. So someone tried. Also kill switch or even jdi push start. gps tracker? Better safe than sorry.
i’ve seen people put 8th gen Si seats in EK, just need the brackets to do so. For suspension, i heard numerous guys recommend fortune autos if going track route. I got an EK also, excited for your upcoming content!
I'm gonna follow your build bro, I been considering a 2000 civic si I keep seeing parked,dusty and doesn't move and want to offer them some money and see if they sell it to me.. it's black just like yours. Looking forward to your build.
Better put a fuel cut off and battery cut off to prevent that shit from getting stolen and throw an AirTag and oh for bushings hard race is the only aftermarket worth buying and they have a master kit.
My co worker has an EJ8 like this, exact same color lowered with EM1 wheels just like this! I am selling my 2012 civic Si because it's too much for me to insure right now, and I have an LS400 I need to fix up as a daily. I might grab his civic because it's cheap, I love these things and someday I want to B swap. I've always wanted a badass B swap togue machine. Definitely throwing the unequal headers on that D16Y8 though, I always tod my self I'd get a subaru if I could afford it, and this is the affordable way for me LMAO.
K24Z7.! Ima do that soon. Try to find some 15 SI red seats for a deal. Replace the window trim and speakers at the same time. When you pull up on the window trim the clips will break and fall down the door.
For the interior, I've seen people put crv rear seats in the ek, it does look good and front seats, you can go for the del sol seats, imo, they are really comfortable
Grab black S2k seats, s2k cluster, & em1 spoiler, LEDs all around, engine & interior detail, etc…. Deff a clean project fr 🔥
I completely forgot about s2k cluster, 100% adding that to the list

Can’t wait to see the process with this car. I had to sell mine a few years ago and might get another haha🙏🏽
loving the exhaust note
I just bought a 1999 honda civic EJ8 and I love it! I am going to watch this build alongside building my own daily!
Found one very similar to this with 181k miles for 5k. Is that a good deal ?

8th Gen seats would be so sick actually, i gotta look into that for sure !
We have some of the very same ideas and goals for our cars. Subscribed!!
🙏

I say kswap unless you want a feel for the bseries before k
gsr looks the best in the ek engine bay, but alas.... K IS THE WAY
Great videos brother keep it up 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you 🙏🙏
Bc,and a good spring rate nice set of wheels 🔥🔥🔥
Im really leaning towards BC
pls do more videos on this car. love it and hope you do some nice things with it.
Damn I miss my coupe lost her back in June
Thinking about buying the same car for $4k and at 78k miles, very clean and cared for. Think it’s a good price?
I have the 4 doors. Wheel sizes, please. Thank you!
Where can I get a Bluetooth radio like that? Got my Honda stolen nd got it back with no radio sadly 💔
I found one a little nicer than this for 5k. 2000 civic ex 182k miles. Should I get it ?
Tein coil overs are fire
Please which ones? I was looking at the tein flex z. But they been out for a while. Are they still good or what do you recommend?
Clean 💪🏽
Advan tc-4 for the wheels
Tc-4s are so sick definitely a good option
The only way to make these 90s car drive better and feel better are ungrade seat and coilover
K24Z7.! Ima do that soon. Try to find some 15 SI red seats for a deal. Replace the window trim and speakers at the same time. When you pull up on the window trim the clips will break and fall down the door.
Turbo that single cam what’s the worst that could happen. It’s a cheap and easy car to work on.
How much cash ?! I miss mine so much
For the interior, I've seen people put crv rear seats in the ek, it does look good and front seats, you can go for the del sol seats, imo, they are really comfortable
Which crv?
@@kingruinous81 1st gen crv
Wanna sell me the game old coilovers lol I have a civic in need of love
Is this specific year reliable ?
