some of y'all guys seem to forget this channel is about SIMPLE builds. affordable work done in a fine way, good enough to maintain with a slim wallet and in my eyes a car of which you can be proud. nice work
some yall salty, this dude been giving away cars for a long time now for how many subs he has. To do a kswap like this cost close to 10k and yall mad about the carpet, the next owner can spend the $50 and spray paint the interior. You did a great build as always man, keep up the great work!
I remember coming home from high school one day and my mom and dad told me to open the garage. It was a 98 civic 4dr lx black. Man this takes me back. Awesome video.
Puts a smile to my face when I see people restore cars, doesn't matter how they modify them or what car it is, I have a 84 vw mk1 rabbit Convertible, took a year to restore mine, but it's running and restored, some small interior pieces are cracked like the radio piece and the handbrake left side bolt is missing, but as long as my car gets to relive its glory days, its worth the drive
I have questions...a lot of questions. 1. Cleaning carpet without taking it out and checking car body for rust inside the car? 2. Wheel discs painting isn't good at all. 3. Gear box painting? For what? 4. What's wrong with the hood? (why does it installed crookedly?) P.s. It's my first visit here, so I may not to know smth.
He didn't paint the surface of the rotors that the pads touch, but yeah, this was kind of a sloppy spray paint everything kind of job. Not restoration; and I guarantee in a few years, lots of things will be flaking and look like shit. Especially the plastic parts he spray painted.
It's a budget build giveaway car, noone's going to spend thousands of dollars on a give away car...... They also didn't paint the disc just the center hub. The hood isn't crooked it has risers on it to clear the new engine because the K motor is taller than the original.
@@ch1959 It's good for now though, it's a giveaway car, noone is spending thousands of dollars just to give it away, when that paint starts to flake off that's on the new owner to fix, It's also not a car show, it's a daily driver project that someone can put a little bit of money into every week-month and work on it while they drive it.
Many of you complaining about the carpet truly are miserable… It may be stained but it has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Learning to appreciate what is, instead of wishing for what could’ve been, will help you better appreciate life.
Couldn’t agree more, ppl act like if the next owner really cared about it they couldn’t just dye it or completely replace it or repair it further when they get possession of it
I was channel surfing and came across your video, I love watching car restorations and personally, your content is far better than I have seen so far. You practically work and replace almost everything that needs to be replaced. and also notice the attention to detail that you are doing. I just subscribed to your channel and will be watching more of your uploads.
This reminds me of my 99 civic LX. Had it as a commute for 4 years. OEM parts were dirt cheap when I had to maintenance it. But all in all, super reliable. I miss that car
Man this really came out beautifully. What an awesome transformation and turn around for this civic. It’s a whole new ride and beast of a ride at that. I love it!! You guy’s did phenomenal work and jobs on this ride. The cleanest restoration and give away yet. 🤩 fantastic work to everyone who helped work on the car and transform it. And as always SMPLBuilds you guys did outstanding on this one.
Why was this so relaxing to watch 😂 I really do enjoy your vids. I’ve also learned things too, when keeping it smpl and affordable. I ordered some of your products as well! Keep up the good work! 💪🏽
Man it's insane to me how an economy sedan from the 90s can look so fresh with just a few mods. The front end is CLASSIC tuner style. EK is such a sick design
I have seen you paint over rusted materials. I would like to ask you something. Won't the products that have rusted before rust again afterwards? The rust will continue under the paint.
Wow, this giveaway is a dream come true! I've always admired [mention the specific car and why it's special to you]. Winning this would change my life-imagine the adventures and memories I could create! Thanks for the opportunity and for making your content so enjoyable and inspiring. Whether I win or not, I'm just grateful to be a part of this awesome community! 🚗✨"
Very nice swap and rebuild. If I were to win, I'd defo get the carpet changed, the couple paint scuffs touches up and maybe find out if it's possible to switch the air intake so it doesn't need the hood risers but all in all, very nice job, indeed!
I came across the video and I am more than impressed! I went to your channel and watched a few more vids as well, kinda 'getting to know you' if you will. I like you and your teams style. I hit the SUBSCRIBE button, so you have a new subscriber! Any chance your and your team do projects like this for customers? I didn't see anything specifically saying so.
It need A LOT more done to it but a good starting point. The rest is cosmetics really. I would of changed out that entire carpet though inside, cleaning it was not enough. Needs seats, color matched side skirts, grill, front lip, red/clear tail lights etc.
One does wonder... How does a car get to this state of filtiness?? Love the build and the content, the way u make videos, just made urself a new subscriber
Congratulations bro, almost for the 250k subs. I’ve been following your channel since you had about 50k subs and I think what you do is so cool. I’m in this giveaway now, let’s see if I’m lucky.✌🏼🙏🏼
If you look he had hood risers so cold air is getting forced into the engine bay started at the rear. Intake is as close to the rear opening as possible for coldest air. This isn’t a race car…calm down lol
So relaxing to watch this. How much did it cost you all-in? What parts were bought to change the old ones?Also, did you reuse all those axle components?
Loved this video. Joined the motor club, got the car wash kit. Really want a manual car again. I live my daily but sometimes i want to feel like im really driving again
Such a great looking car and rebuild. AND since its 4 door...helps with insurance cost (since its a "family car"...sorry but saved money makes for more goodies LOL). Get to ride in a clean, great sounding, reliable car with the perk of taking your family out to shows. Excellent job.
With the fast turn-around and simple scope it turned out really good. I am curious though - was there a problem with the hood hinges? There's still a pretty aggressive sloping panel gap between the back of the hood and the front quarterpanels at the end.
I'm entered! I've never won anything before and that trend is likely to continue, hehe. When is the drawing for the winner? Either way, great work on a truly simple build!

Frist let's go
@adriandommm1681 Honda Civic EX. It's a 6th Generation Honda, but there's no specific year of when it was made. It's around 1996-2000 though.
Purchased mine😍
@adriandommm1681 oh there's coupes and sedans everywhere, just might depend on your area of where you live
I want this car for my family, I'm from Philippines 😊

thank you🙌🏾
Well said
AGREED. If they wanna modify it to oblivion, that's the WINNER's JOB.
Facts
Amen. Like 90% of us out here.

The brake calipers in black perfectly matched an modern OEM style. Also, the manual transmission made it a truly Sport car. Great job!

I love these late 90s models Civics. I still own a 98 Civic DX. I'm the original owner with 227k miles and she still runs good.

This is a ton of hard work. Mad respect from one car enthusiast to another
I have my '99 civic I pulled out from buddy's backyard. Paid $400 and y8 block later still going strong 6 years later.💪
excellent transformation, from water to wine. I follow your videos and I really like them, congratulations, God bless you. a hug from Brazil 🇧🇷
I can watch these all day! So dope!

It amazes me how the old cars have been preserved without rust
Saw it first through the motor club! Nice transformation on this civic. Can't wait to see the new excited owner.
I really hope I'm the new owner! I could use the A/C!
@tekzilla1354 only time will tell. 🤞 just hope it goes to someone who will enjoy it and not just sell it.
One of the best generation Civics ever built. Thanks for giving her a second chance at life! Great car
Grande lavoro, bellissimo risultato
Great Job. Just Black spoiler needs to fit.
I wish I own this car, its gonna be my daily drive, you guys are awesome, putting smiles to your fans out here
First time watching a show from this channel. Automatically my favorite channel now.
@@jeosua thanks so much!!
At this level of restoration why not removing the carpet to HP it like the rest of the car ? For the rest what a rebuild 😊
The transformation is sick a lot of hard work and it shows. Great job fellas💪🤯
Never paint mating surfaces on suspension or brake components. Them guys should have taped those off before painting or cleaned them off after.
This is Cleaner than Mimes 😂
Man it's insane to me how an economy sedan from the 90s can look so fresh with just a few mods. The front end is CLASSIC tuner style. EK is such a sick design
Super awesome restoration, followers from PHP.
That is pretty sick, especially the color. Only suggestion would be wheel spacers, just to dial in the fitment. Whoever wins it will be very happy.
Very nice build boys,nice taste.
Was wondering how all those leaves got inside the center console 😂😂 was like geeezzz, lol. Loved to see the vid one of my fav civic gens
Proud of you all, great work
I can’t believe how much work went into this. Impressive skills!
I have seen you paint over rusted materials. I would like to ask you something. Won't the products that have rusted before rust again afterwards? The rust will continue under the paint.
All the way from South Africa & i just want to say this is a great build🙌🏽😎
Awesome job man. Well done. 👏😎
Dude this is Owesome work
If you shorten the intake pipe a few inches on the throttlebody side, it'd probably fit better in there
Super clean and K powered 😍✊🏻💪🏼
Yep it is simple cuz the only worth stuff of that ek is the k Swap, nothing else nothing.
Love watching an old car get love
Here from the Motor Club! 🏎️💨This thing was WORTH the wait. So sick!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

its great to see this car saved and made even better
I love older cars being restored. The way they drive is something that a 1.2 turbo petrol will never do

Love the format of these videos man been following for a minute always killing it, I see an upload I click it’s that simple
Man you killed it 4 months of work shheeeesh a job well done!!!!!
really nice but what about the rear drum brakes? I'm sure they needed a little more than just a coat of paint...
It need A LOT more done to it but a good starting point. The rest is cosmetics really. I would of changed out that entire carpet though inside, cleaning it was not enough. Needs seats, color matched side skirts, grill, front lip, red/clear tail lights etc.
Just finished a manual swap on my eg civic. And i also just picked up a 5 speed 03 accord to do a k swap when i get bored with d16 engine. Cant wait.
Just found this channel. Def subscribing.

No need to paint the rims black completely ruined them
This was literally my first car at 18 for $1,500 so its great to see what could have been if i had put some time and effort (and money) into it!
Great job. Nice car😎
super clean build you guys i love this one!
Awesome build you guys did an amazing job, my only concern is the transmission I wish you guys had left it as automatic😅.
Late night watchin these rebuilds hit different
If I was 16 again, I would kill to have this be my first car. Well done!!
Congratulations bro, almost for the 250k subs. I’ve been following your channel since you had about 50k subs and I think what you do is so cool. I’m in this giveaway now, let’s see if I’m lucky.✌🏼🙏🏼
Still can’t believe I live in the same town you got the muffler an tune done at in Aceworks and only a town over from you
Why is the air intake facing back ?
Just out of curiosity since I had a civic like this in the past and never saw something similar
Thank you
that is a real head scratcher. pulling hot air from the back of the engine compartment is insane.
Good question. All that hot exhaust air around there...
If you look he had hood risers so cold air is getting forced into the engine bay started at the rear. Intake is as close to the rear opening as possible for coldest air.
This isn’t a race car…calm down lol
@@pattayperformance You have absolutely no idea how air, airflow or air pressure works, do you? Lol
@@Darren_Martin don’t be stupid…
Helps with venting hot air 🫡
Ви молодці! Гарна робота! Мене колись був Civic EG 1993 D15B2 converted to D15B7 by myself).
This video was absolutely beautiful! Amazing shooting wonderful editing!!!
So relaxing to watch this. How much did it cost you all-in? What parts were bought to change the old ones?Also, did you reuse all those axle components?
@@rafburigs9799 full build videos on my channel! :)
About $15k or so all in
You should hook up all those subwoofers into one subwoofer enclosure in the trunk 😅😂 I saw about 7 subwoofer 😅
Loved this video. Joined the motor club, got the car wash kit. Really want a manual car again. I live my daily but sometimes i want to feel like im really driving again
Amazing transformation 🎉
the engine needs cold air not hot air from engine
this literally my dream car since im 6y.o and watching this content. im so happy:) thanks for the content! love from indonesia!
That carpet still looks nasty
Looks like you 😂
@ very funny OLIVER😒
So the new owner can dye it or replace it..... Why spend unnecassary money on a car your just going to give away?
K is the way just dope simple and clean
What a difference, from a junky looking old reject, to one sharp looking little car. From *super* grimy to *super* shiny!
Appreciate it!!
Such a great looking car and rebuild. AND since its 4 door...helps with insurance cost (since its a "family car"...sorry but saved money makes for more goodies LOL). Get to ride in a clean, great sounding, reliable car with the perk of taking your family out to shows. Excellent job.
Lovely car there for some lucky punter... i love the styling of that era... id be proud driving that around
Motor club gang! Turned out even better than I'd imagined!
You do great work, someone will be really happy with this~ hi from the motor club :)
@@supersunset-tC Thanks so much. Early access gang!! 💙🤝🏻
That is some first class turd polishing right there!!!
With the fast turn-around and simple scope it turned out really good. I am curious though - was there a problem with the hood hinges? There's still a pretty aggressive sloping panel gap between the back of the hood and the front quarterpanels at the end.
Thanks. It has hood risers to fit the K
Super excited, just Joined the club! wish me luck
This is so cool bro! Watching from PH
Amazon work! Keep doing this stuff.
This car reminds me to Gran Turismo 2
You guys did an amazing job on that civic 🎉💯🔥
Solid build. Love those k motors. Thanks for the awesome content. Nj proud
Appreciate that!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Not replacing that nasty carpet is crazy. Any way, nice job
or dyeing it at the very least. that and also the stupid "drift" bumper clips
@@JuanGSRit had em already.
@KingBr4nd0 so what? it's not like it's permanent you can easily remove that shit
Its not a nut and bolt restoration... its putting a k20 in a cool honda and making it better than it was. New owner can do more to it if they want to!
It's a simple build ... relax.....once the new owner gets a k20 Honda he can decide to do it...what's so hard to understand here
You should've to remove carpet and wash it outside from the car. This is not good practice to clean it inside.
Nice job lads
I'm entered! I've never won anything before and that trend is likely to continue, hehe. When is the drawing for the winner?
Either way, great work on a truly simple build!
Who cares about the carpet guy did a hell of a job i love it this guy is amazing
Sweet build yall
Should've at least stripped the carpet
Love this body style civic
That's gonna be a sick little runner
Finding one of these in good condition now is really hard.
