ANOTHER ONE | JTCC Chassis #2 Ep. 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лис 2024
- What's better than one JTCC Civic Ferio inspired racecar? Two JTCC Civic Ferio inspired racecars! That's right, let's build another one! This is episode 1 of chassis #2 build.
Why am I building another? It's a long story but the chassis I picked up was too clean to cut up and I figured it would be an excellent plan to build a spare, back-up chassis. Basically, I would tub it, do all the fab work, get it caged, painted, and make a rolling, race-ready chassis. That way, if anything unfortunate happens to chassis #1, I can swap all the parts over and be up and running with minimal downtime.
It's going to be a slow build but that allows me to record and document everything and give you guys the UA-cam content I promised but didn't deliver with chassis #1. Whenever I get some free time, I'll be wrenching and fabricating on this chassis.
Enjoy episode one!

that man Eric is a UA-camr, UA-camR! haha love it man. keep it coming (pause)
Haha I appreciate it Percy! Just trying to record a little more what all the dumb stuff I do and hopefully people enjoy it along with some racing content too. I gotta take notes from real UA-camrs because I know it aint easy
bruh! 2 JTCC Civic ferio Inspired racecars would be the ICON representation of You and this channel.. you're out here completing project goals within a year.. i'm not gettin no where with my basic ass eg awd build. 5 years and counting
Haha thanks man! The 2nd will be a slow process. No rush
What a great way to start the morning.
This is how started all of us. With 1 car...... and at the end of the day we have 4....😂😂😂
I am like "Home Motorsport"! I hope the best for you man!
2 JTCC civics? I'm definitely up for that. Great video, thanks!
I love this rabbit hole 🤣🤣
wow 🧐the front lower arm is very neat😍 never seen that before no more ball joint 😎It would be cool to see inverted shocks and hope someone makes aluminum knuckle for these one day😊
Yeah, I have a video coming soon on the whole suspension breakdown
And I will watch every minute of it 🙌🏻
It's funny to hear sometimes "cesky jazyk". Good luck with your build.
Thanks man! Yeah my parents had a lot to say haha. They not mad, just disappointed. Lol jk
you can upload whatever you want im watching it regardless, I watch a lot of “big name channels” and this is easily already one of my favorite channels.
Haha my man! Thank you!
Definately in for this journey
You make me wanna build one myself eventhough I don't have the capabilities to do so, yet.
Well I never saw this coming but it makes absolute sense looking forward to seeing how its done
Lol same here dude
I'm going to call it here I've got a feeling your going to make some changes to this build now you've raced your current car and this new build will end up being your race car upgraded and further improved for 2025 session and your current car will end up being the spare shell over the 2024 session
cant wait for the new build!
Love the Brushup Auto works sweatshirt.
Those guys are so awesome. I met them a few years ago and now we're both rocking sedans!
Subbed, JTCC honda? Yep I'm in , love from England 🏴
Looking forward to watching your future content, excited to see and hopefully learn.
Awesome, thank you! Excited for this journey!
The KY and TN hills will ruin MPG. Also, the only reason I decided to hang onto my EG coupe was because there is zero rust to deal with. Every bolt coming out easily. Loving it.
OMG YES! I need to watch this series! Suscribed 👍
I am so excited to see the build
Your wife's face at 15:07-15:14. Priceless. I know that 'face'! I dealt with a similar one for most of the latter half of the Nineties and early into the new century. A mixture of despair and resignation! Anyway, good luck with all that you are doing, and thanks for taking us along on the ride. Living vicariously anyone??
Hahaha she's honestly amazing and puts up with my stupid decisions! Gotta make sure I don't find the limit but I bet three sedans was pretty close ha
Well I thought to myself why is Eric taking the trailer if all he wanted to do was cut the roof! You are so lucky in the US. Here is Australia if you can find any Civic 1988-1995 you're lucky, let alone a cheap one for parts. People are buying up cars and dismantling them because parts can be worth several times the actual price of a car!
13:20 GODDAYAMN!! 🙈
Great video. Keep them coming bro 🚗💨
Dude that’s awesome I’m from
Knoxville. I like the channel keep up the good work
Good luck man. Hope you enjoyed the time off
I definitely did! Still moving pretty slowly but it'll pick up here soon
Great update! Totally understand why you didn't want to cut the other one. Good call.
I wish you good luck and say hello to your parents from the Czech Republic
Haha will do! Thanks!
Great Video. Good luck on your next race. You have been an inspiration for me and my EG project.. Thanks for posting..
Of course man, glad to help!
Same here dude! I have an EG B18C.
Thank you for uploading, it gives me fuel to continue working on my projects,
this exact racecar really inspired me to build my own eg sedan racecar too in the future. The 5th gen civic is really special to me because this influenced me with the jdm community hehe! excited to see what's gonna happen next!
Very cool! Thanks man and I appreciate it!
Take ur time brother thank you for sharing your build 📈🔥
Sweet i used to have a EG 4door that was the same color as the green one.
It's a cool color!
When the trailer is loaded up it probably sits a few inches lower, perhaps better aerodynamics when combined with the truck.
Bossman Eric, freakin love the vid! 🏎🏎
Thanks homie!
Go Eric!
You'er the reason i still keep my eg😂 hi from malaysia🎉
Hello! Eg forever ha!
🔥 excited!🔥👍
Gasoline is a blend of several hydrocarbons. The winter mix usually has a higher fraction of butane, which lowers the energy density of the fuel. Also, on the highway your engine is mostly doing work to displace air, not accelerate the mass of the truck and trailer. Together these may explain the observed gas mileage.
Yeah great point, didn't account for the difference in gas quality. I guess it is winter already
You kept saying 'nope' and then I just lost it when you opened the trailer to show the red shell lol
Things got out of hand lol
Epic stuff, You're an inspiration Eric.
Thank you man, I appreciate it!
Kinda nice how that red one seemed to have what ya needed to shore up the panels on the race car #1 and #2. Very cool!
Yeah, honestly it was quite perfect, sacrifice one for the many!
you did not disappoint. thanks for heads up. i am subscribed and bell'd, so i am here for the progress build.
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it buddy!
As a mazda fan, I always been wanting someone do a lantis replica build....but, with that said, any era/period correct touring car build is appreciated. I am a huge fan of touring cars, especially if its a car from the time I grew up.
@@adinlouw dude the Lantis is epic! I love those but not common at all. Any jtcc touring car is epic, I love them all
@@EricKutilRacing i guess when you go racing, aftermarket support is a huge decider in what car you gonna race. I know miatas got huge support, but the rest of the mazda brand (piston cars) are not supported....at all.
Awesome, I would do the same. Guess we are crazy in the same way lol. Good going Eric. Keep up the awesome work! 👌
Thanks man!
Love the awesome Honda content. Keep it up.
Honda for life! Way more Honda stuff coming for sure!
Duuude, I watched couple of your onboards and only now I realized that you're racing under czech flag! Cheers!
Yes I am! Czech heritage but born in the US
@@EricKutilRacing That's great. You got yourself a new fan. Keep doing the great job.
Very glad to hear the engine issues weren't the last we'll be seeing of you on the track in this (these) cars! Maybe by the time you finish your 2nd chassis i'll be about halfway thru my first xD
Haha I don't expect the 2nd chassis to be done anytime soon, maybe 2025. You got time lol
This is sweet! Looking forward to the build vids I'm in a similar position cutting a roof off for my ej1. Careful with the grinder and sparks right next to that gas tank 😬😬
Haha good point!
Inspiration for my EG 4door😍
Ok, apart from the channel content, the name and the flag caught my attention in previous videos. A few foreign words in this video hooked me up, and of course your "stupid" decision :p Greetings from CZ
This will be fun! 8mpg is crazy, almost 3 times as much fuel consumption as my motorhome+car on trailer, but the fuel is so much cheaper there so its probably the same cost anyway.. maybe you could rent out the spare car from time to time to help finance your own racing?
I dont really have the infrastructure to support two cars at once at the track but its an option. Making the 2nd car into an endurance car though, that could be fun too
Another one-DJ Khalid
Another one and... ANOTHER ONE!
New to your channel and I love the fact to sub before 10k subs.
Thanks for subbing!
I love Stupid Kutil!😂 Thank you for accurately representing us idiot car guys.😅
Lol, yup just plain stupid hahaha
looking forward to it. might already have said it, but the original JTCC cars had a 1.6L engine, not a 2.0L engine. What engine you plan for it?
Spare chassis so identical to the main chassis, k24. I think in the 95 season they switched to reverse head h22, I could be wrong though
And here I am thinking I have a disease wanting to build a AE86 N2 clone as a backup to my Turbo Miata for GLTC
Dude. If I have the budget, I'd absolutely build an ae86
Subscribed ❤
Thank you!
wanna jack easier, place a red line ( anycolor) on the side skirt, and a line on the straight down and a horizontal line to stop at panel across so no more getting down on the ground
Really wish it was easy to get them in the uk. I need some trim parts for kine but near impossible atm. Are your ek hb sideskirts the right length for sedans ?
Yeah. I got ek sedan side skirts. I love them!
What will be different in the new chassis? Any thing you want to improve?
90% similar. Maybe slightly taller front tubs and a slight redesign of the front cage work to the shock towers to allow an oem style master and clutch slave.
Yes this is want the subscribers want to see more of racing the behind the scenes and the journey all on youtube and question….. Dose your car have PPF on it
The racecar has a wrap, so kinda bit not really lol. The only paint under the wrap is primer and bondo ha
@@EricKutilRacing it’s holding up great for the type of driving it takes
Citrus is still looking good! Curious what app you were using to track your mpg? Thanks!
Thanks dude! I love that car! I use fuelio to track mpgs and service on all my cars
😍😍😍
Man, where was that trailing arm when we were loading that thing? Lol
Haha hey man! Dude at least it moved forward! The brake did not want to move rearward at all ha
hey bud awesome videos. can i ask.. what size is your shop?
I love the first sedan build. You mentioned going to 18”s this season and was curious as to why. I’m a complete amateur but I thought it usually came down to running the smallest rim you can on the brakes you need. Are you going up in size to fit bigger brakes or is just the tires you want to run?
So a few reasons. Number one would be the option to run wider tires if I wanted, like a 265. 17s stop at 255. The second main reason is street tires have a pretty soft sidewall compared to racing slicks or DOT hoosiers. It's a good benefit to stretch the tire and since 18s have a shorter sidewall vs the same size in 17, the tire is more responsive. Also, generally, the larger the diameter, the width of the tire is sometimes wider too (like a 17" 255 vs 18" 255). Brake diameter isn't a concern in my situation
Between Louisville, Ky and Talladega, Al, you likely passed by a plethora of cleaner examples for under $2k.
Yeah. I don't disagree. But I also paid waaaay less than 2k for this blue one and for a racecar chassis, I don't need much anyway
I wonder if you and hybrid racing can run your own team of drivers in gltc, kind of like asm runs their s2000s lol. I get this is more specialized but it would be cool to see a group of these racing against the c5’s and s2k’s lol
We got Ronnie Vajdak on our team. He's under the DCSPORTS branding and has an DC2 with a JDM front end. His build is more traditional but still crazy fast! But I would love more eg sedans tearing it up ha
@@EricKutilRacing that facelift dc2’s one of my favourites lol, you guys have some awesome builds. Hoping you guys keep racing for as long as possible, and hopefully gltc’s around long enough for me to participate with my glanza v lol
Will this be same color/wrap exterior?
It's going to a while until anything exterior wise is even going to be considered. Mostly likely multi colored / primered until it needs to see some action
hey how much u want for head lights I need some for my civic
Honestly I need all the spares I can get unfortunately
@@EricKutilRacing dam all good tho just keep the videos coming
How big is your garage?
22x30
Long or wide? If you did it again would you have done 30x22 or 22x30 or square?
8:58 is that your citrus yellow insight?
nevermind saw it in your driveway at 13:14 lol
Yeah sir! That's my daily and one of my favorite Hondas ha! Can't beat 60+ mpgs
I watch GLTC and like your hatch setup better. Widebody is fine but I think tubs are cheating unless all cars have it. I hate tubs unless its for time attack. Just how Nascar (all have tubs)has nothing to do with the actual street car anymore only drivetrain 😢
Unfortunately it's the only way to compete since the tires required have gotten significantly wider and taller
Can't wait dude! Nice truck by the way! I own a 21 eco lariat Oxford white 🤍
Thanks man! I love this thing. I tried pulling the same 24' trailer with an F150, it was sketch. New truck acts like nothing is there!
