@@anthonyhernandez1953 Wrong! The EK9 has an entirely different chasis than any other EK/EJ Civic.

Yes it is but remember this car was built by a factory that specialized in economy cars and family sedans. So it was a great factory build and they built it for the technology that was available 22 years ago. If the nanny rules were put aside they could build another lightweight civic and get rid of all the crap, sound deadening, heavy glass etc etc. Honda has the capability to do it but it would not be profitable.

@@MrJessenava Exactly 😁 I have 280z mine will cost me $830 my currency (255 kwd) 🙈 I usually buy my battery 18 kwd ($58) and last me around 2 yrs (we use AC 6+ months because our weather almost like Death Valley) Anyway, that's mean I can buy "14" batteries for 28 yrs (till year 2048). 🙈😂😂😂
K swapped this same hatch back in 07 and man i loved it. It was my first and least stressful build ive ever done. The honda community has an answer or video for everything. I have an Audi rn and its torture when something breaks because theres hardly any videos out there. I hope you enjoy this car because its an absolute experience.
It's from the aggressive Hawk DTC-60 metallic brake pads. Totally fine. You generally dont see it, but that shot was filmed closer towards dusk so it was a bit brighter.
Thank you for keeping the build NA. I'm an old-school Honda head. My friends and I were modifying Hondas back in the early 2000s before everyone was obsessed with turbocharged, AWD drag Hondas. With Honda's rich racing history on road courses, I've never understood the infatuation with making high-HP turbocharged straight line Hondas. It seems so counter intuitive to me. Cars like the DC2 ITR and EK9 were iconic for their high-revving high compression NA motors. and their equally impressive track performance. NA is the only way for me when it comes to Honda. They make great NA motors, why mess with that. With the exception of the FK9 of course
A shop press makes quick work of those bushings. If you anticipate doing anything beyond basic maintenance on vehicles, mowers, bikes, etc. a shop press is a good idea. The best time-saving and frustration-saving tool I have in my shop is a 20t press. Second best is a MIG welder.
That is a 10 out of 10. A k swap EK is my dream car especially in white and black or black and white. You did an amazing job. I can honestly say I would kill to own your car. The only thing I would do different is just to carpet the back and carpet weighs nothing. Congratulations. Just because you're "done" does not mean you need to stop making videos about this car
Man I wish I had even a fraction of your guys ability and knowledge when it comes to working on cars 😭 Awesome content as always, looking forward to your track days and to see where you guys go in the future
@@CCDVIDEO yup. Did that with my prelude and now my HR 350z. Putting in a new Yoshimura radiator and had to take a bunch of shit out. Never did it but fuck it
I built my K swapped EG with a £100 tool kit, ebay axle stands and by watching UA-cam videos. Sent it to a specialist for a few finishing touches and to check everything. All I'd done before was a brake pad and oil change. 90's Hondas are the perfect beginner platform. Nothing super complicated has gone on for this build.
This was a beautiful ending to a beautiful series. I was very impressed with the results that you had on the dyno and glad that all these other mods were made. You are helping me to dream again and that is a good thing.
27:50 Now that's what I call an entrance! I cannot get enough of that! Feeling absolute ecstatic and amazing electric vibes. Well done on all that and nice to see your cars coming together too!

Amazing builds and videos guys. I really like how you showed all the nuances and small details that go into each part addition/modification. Lots of people don't see that side of things. They think you just order a part, bolt it on, and drive.
@Christopher Bushnell I've recently gone from an 18x9.5 tm02 to a 17x9.5 rpf1 on my evo, difference has been night and day! Crazy light weight wheel for the price, more to it than just looks
Was so happy to hear you say 245's. I have the same tires on mine, but on 15x9 +35 rota grids. You're gonna love em! I had to run a 5mm spacer to keep the rim from touching the knuckle.
i remember I built my 98 civic and had to sold it. Now i own another civic 2007 FD. I can only dream to build a car like this build but it makes me excited just to watch this getting done. Good job man!
Simply beautiful. As a Honda guy, I loved watching the progression of this vehicle from start to finish. As a car guy, I appreciate all the little details you put into it. It's a priceless build. Anxious to see where you guys go with it in the racing scene. Well done fellas!
Congratulations on completing your build. It's been a pleasure to watch the series. I'm sure you're excited to enjoy the fruits of your hard earned labors in both fields of cinematography and mechanical conversion of this vehicle. Thank you for sharing. Now show us some time slips when you get them. Best of luck to you both out there.
I cant even.....that civic has come such a long way from where it was. Awesome build and man its done RIGHT! Looks like some of the jmd builds. And that evo.....drool.

I haven't even finished the video, but this series, this channel is the best car channel on UA-cam. The attention to detail not just in the car but the cinematography is just incredible. You make me want to buy an EP3 again and enjoy Honda's for what they are like you have with yours. This channel just deserves more attention

Congrats on the channel progress guys! This content is fantastic! I've been an evo and civic guy for 25 years. I sold my EVO a few years ago and it always bummed me out. I kept thinking about getting another one and once i watched the drive to Alaska video I realized i had to have another one. I have another 05 white VIII just like my old one and am in the process of building it back up. My first swap ever was a CRX with a B16 back in about 1999. I've always missed that car. I've had several other civics sense and this has pretty much convinced me to get another one. GREAT content.
I want to tell you. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I definitely enjoy watching and learning from you and your team. I wish I could do the stuff you all are doing.

Really top quality content, I’m in Virginia too and I was curious to what roads you’re on in the end of the video, I assume it’s Shenandoah, but which road?
I think in another video he mentions he’s about 2 hours from Richmond, so that could be close! I’m in Southwest Virginia near Bristol, and there are plenty of fun roads down here, especially since we’re a lot less populated. 😁
You guys always top your last series, had been incredible to watch. Really looking forward to the competition! Keep it up, this year you two will crack the million subs.
Good tire choice. The BFGs can handle more heat than the 71Rs so you'll notice on track that the car won't feel all slippery or understeery like before after 10 min of the session.
Absolutely love the direction that you built your ek Civic! Every single thing was done right and pure perfection! Can't wait to see you take it for time attack!
@@Oemg35 you can get a used c5 z06, even a c6 z06 used for wtf this guy put into his car lol. So no... fuck that.

27:30 when it pans to the wheel there's a small spark, did the caliper make contact with the wheel?

It's from the aggressive Hawk DTC-60 metallic brake pads. Totally fine. You generally dont see it, but that shot was filmed closer towards dusk so it was a bit brighter.
I figured there should be no way it just randomly makes contact but wasn't sure if maybe a rock kicked up in. Never knew pads could do that

15:19 that laugh tho
Your guy's cars are so propperly built, it soothes my soul.🤗
You need to clean the underside of the hood :)
Other than that; love it!
The perfected Civic Type R for street and one of the rare that kept Power Steering. Thumbs upppppp
The cocoa powder is just amazing. Hahaha 😂 brilliant!
Such a good design sense with the wrinkle black. It's so good.
Really top quality content, I’m in Virginia too and I was curious to what roads you’re on in the end of the video, I assume it’s Shenandoah, but which road?
Funny you mention that cause those roads look like some Santa Cruz roads here in California too!
I think in another video he mentions he’s about 2 hours from Richmond, so that could be close! I’m in Southwest Virginia near Bristol, and there are plenty of fun roads down here, especially since we’re a lot less populated. 😁
You guys always top your last series, had been incredible to watch.
Really looking forward to the competition!
Keep it up, this year you two will crack the million subs.
I pray who ever reads this becomes successful...
Good tire choice. The BFGs can handle more heat than the 71Rs so you'll notice on track that the car won't feel all slippery or understeery like before after 10 min of the session.
I wanna see Jason Camissa review this and give his driving impressions 🤣
I wanna see what Matt Farah or Zach from TST has to say too
they already a K24 Eh/EG but that wasn't as done up as this one
Absolutely love the direction that you built your ek Civic! Every single thing was done right and pure perfection! Can't wait to see you take it for time attack!
Anybody else wish he put a coat of paint on those knuckles & calipers?
That is my ultimate dream build. I had a few Hondas but nothing like that. The hatch has always been the one I will build
Episode 6, how much I have spent on my K swap EK
Too much to the point it's not even worth it and just get a better car out the door.
@@jponz85 but why tho? That civic is great and you really can't buy an equivalent car to the one he built
@@Oemg35 you can get a used c5 z06, even a c6 z06 used for wtf this guy put into his car lol. So no... fuck that. I've put so many mods into my prelude (euro r engine, skunk2 catback, 70mm throttle body, intake manifold, megan headers on a p28 chipped ecu tuned) I still wouldnt put all that money into the lude I'd just get a much faster car stock. Is why I bought a used HR 350z, which btw is faster than a k20 swapped honda lol.
@@jponz85 did you even watch the video? He said Hondas are about pure driving experience, not speed.
You could have probably bought a R33 GTR for the price.
@27:52 EPIC and so excited.
Nice tuned i watch every episodes and give me a lot of knowledge between the NA and force induction.Very well documented.
Absolutely phenomenal!!!!!! I love it. That is somewhat what I have planned for my 96 Civic coupe.
