So nice to see the og’s of the 90’s
Yes!!
@@ahcgarage ♥️
The Zenki ek9 is by far my fav ctr model. Such a simple yet gorgeous car.
Agreed!!
This is the civic at its best
Still better than most new cars
I’d take one over many many cars they make now
Cheers!!!
Greetings from Toronto. Watching this made me miss my championship white 98 ITR, keep up the good work Mike.
I have a 98 ITR in Victoria and really enjoy it!
Thanks a ton for the support
@@touringteg That's awesome brother.
Also from Toronto 2000 Integra type r champ white!
This makes me REALLY MISS my 00 CW EK9. I did end up making over 43k. It’s a long story but I sold her about a year ago for 25k.
ek9 the best type r of all time
Have to agreed!!
As a loyal Honda guy, this channel is perfect for me. I love the subtle mods and the expertise into doing these cars. Great job guys!! Subscribed!!
Much appreciated!
The work these guys do is insane
Thanks so much!!
Car came out amazing! Driving it home was the best part. Everything that was looked over was well worth it. Car drives amazing. Thank you to the team.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man i wouldnt want to drive this car with the amount of work and detail to be put back into its original glory, also that milano red em1 🤤🤤🤤
Gotta drive it to appreciate that iconic machine. Great catch on the MR EM1 👍🏼
Hey guys! Just wanted to say your work is amazing and so inspiring, you are the main reason im working in a Honda dealership rn! I just hope one day i can work on cars at a professional level as u guys do!
Keep up the good work and videos coming! Love to all of the team
Thanks so much for the compliments. Keep pushing and you will be one of us.
Definitely one of my favorite classics. Looking very good!
Thanks for watching
First and last great Civic Type R.
Fair enough
@@ahcgarage - I"m old school, gotta have no turbos, no 4 doors, full VTEC.
Nice work 👍🏻love to see a mechanic treat a customers car like it's there own. They are real professionals i let them work on my car any day of the week.
Much appreciate the kind words
Only bummer is the hood. Those damn hail dings or dents near the nose of the hood make me sad. My Si has them too and the PDR isn't possible there.
With that being said.. this thing came out great. What a nice car especially considering its age. You guys crushed it.
Thanks so much for the support. Like you mentioned, there’s some limitation with PDR
27:33 I was about to say that.
@@ahcgarage for sure. Sometimes those dings end up behind some bracing. The car is a gorgeous example of a R
Love seeing some fresh painted stuff on older cars!
Cheers!!
WOW!! The dream team are in the room (AKA Mike & Brian) you both make a great team, I'm not a lover of white cars but this came out looking like new, great job guys 👏👏👍 John UK.
Thanks so much John 👍🏼👍🏼
love these refreshing videos for these old hondas
Thanks very much for watching
My favorite channel on youtube , ya are doing my dream career 🥲 cant wait to start my body/mechanic journey
Thanks for the support. It’s an incredible career, and we wish you will succeed
Love Mike and his snap on ratcheting screwdriver lol
Ha!!
This car is the start of it all💪
Yes!!
I love the way you work guys, I wish you could work on my car, I like the way you treat every one of the cars you work on . Its very disappointed when you pay someone to work on your car and when pick it up you see that they did not do a good job.keep it up guys .
Thank so much for the compliments
I have a 1997 ek9 replica with a k24a2. It’s so fun!
Yes!!
Wow. That is one pristine acivic.
Bringing the heat! Appreciate the reminder to buy the window sill moldings. I would like to have my bumpers and skirts on my 98 ITR redone like this. I still haven’t watched the recent FK8 LE video. Gotta catch up.
Always appreciate your support my friend.
@@ahcgarage No problem. Always enjoy the videos and the dedication to restoring these special cars.
Keep it up AHC team. Greetings from malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤️
Thank you 🙌
Put some 99-00 taillights on that bad boy!
Great suggestion
Night and Day difference 👌
Cheers!!
Congrats on 30k!
Thank you sir!!
Wow for a twenty-six year old car it's still a very clean example of an EK9 Civic. I can see why the prices for these up are going up in value.
Indeed!!
Looks amazing guys as always!!!!
Thanks so much 🙏🏼
Your most welcome 🙏
It looks so freaking good!!! 🤩😍
It sure does!!
Man that’s a beauty!
Agreed!!!
like always.. great job! ❤️
Thank you
Hey guys, a sterling job as usual. Not sure if it's my imagination but it looks like it's slightly dented around the top of the rear licence plates.
Thanks for the support. You’re right, there’s a few spots PDR isn’t able to reach
Gorgeous
👍🏼👍🏼
Wow!
SSOO CLEAN!!
Cheers!!
it's amazing that the headlight lens are not yellow and foggy.
Yes, this is a very good and clean example
Love this channel,
Thanks very much!!
Nice job!!! Just missed the hood dent to the left of Honda badge
Unfortunately not all dents can be removed with PDR since some panels/areas do not have access for the tool. And we avoided any hole drilling
please do a 2002 Honda Integra DC5 Type R in Championship white thanks a lot love the channel!
Noted! Thanks for the support!!
Looks really good.
Cheers!!
Beautiful car and workmanship. Out of curiosity, did this vehicle not have front and rear bumper foam impact absorbers when originally produced?
Great catch, Jdm models do not come with the foam impact absorbers like USDM and CMD models
Hi Mike, I had the same model of this EK9, 97-98 Spec, all stock.
That’s awesome. What a timeless piece
Yes, nowadays its getting expensive and expensive, every month the price in Japan are sky rocketing.
Supply and demand, especially these vehicles are ready for US importations. Most of us would love takes ownership on one of these iconic example
Yes thats one of the factor, the supply and demand, since this will become legal when the car reach the age of 25 they are now legal to enter US territory, for bidding atleast 20,000 US $ to get one, and its not mint, 8 to 8.5 out of 10 condition may be, the mintier the more expensive.
LETSSS GOOOO
Yes!!
Mike another great video. Wondering did you find it hard to match the resprayed panels colour to the rest of the body as sometimes the championship white exhibit a tad yellow over time?
Yes very difficult as the car was resprayed in different areas and the colors were all different.
As always, @paintsociety ensures perfect color match for all of our projects
I love watching the refresh.
Makes me even more excited to start my build.
What parts website do you go to for the oem window and roof trim? I plan to replace every single trim piece with brand new. Any help is appreciated
If you need help on sourcing the Oem parts, shoot us email. We would love to assist:

❤️
Only thing id sdo is put back on the oem type r wheels. Condition is so nice on this one
Oem wheel does look very nice. Have to agreed with you.
This work is awesome!
Thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Epic. Is the SEM trim black available in a consumer grade spray can or is it pneumatic/pro grade only
Comes in a can as well
Awesome👏
Thank you
That’s a Fantastic car. Pity the dent guy couldn’t get the dent out of the bonnet above / left of the Honda badge and the rear plate surround looks pushed in on each top
Corner?
Unfortunately there’s some limitations to PDR. We are extremely please with the result. There were over 26 dents all around the car. 2 dents were size of a fist
@@ahcgarage yeah the smaller ones are more difficult. The car came out really good though. Keep forgetting these are over 20 years old now!
I love that car
Us too 👍🏼
The pdr guy didn’t do that hot of a job on the door, I’m not sure if it was dents he could not get but you can still see them in the door around the 15:08-15:18 mark besides that the attention to detail is spectacular
There’s some limitation to PDR
I got the OEM rims on the market in Broward county Florida
Hey man, I have a 92VX 60K miles, all original no mods. My dream since high school in the mid 90s has been to have a VX with a B18C5 Type R swap total sleeper, bone stock interior. My thoughts are this car is too nice to swap, but its not perfect, it was a northern car so there is rust. I'd love to send it somewhere, that can do the swap right, redo the paint, install a/c, redo the suspension, make it look factory. I'm not a tuck guy, I'm an old school 90s guy, that wants a sleeper but I want it done right with og parts.
B18C5 power plant will be a perfect match for your 92 Civic VX
NOT ALL DENTS ARE BEEN REMOVED HOOD HAS A DENT NEXT TO THE "H" EMBLEM 27:34 Great work by the way!
There’s some limitations on PDR. Often times, PDR technicians would drill holes to access areas that can’t be reach. We didn’t want that option.
Spider cracks
Haha 🤙
If I won in the lottery
I would send my Hondas to thiw guys to get them Mint
Hope you do win. Love to take on your project
Hey AHC garage 👋
I have a question for Brian. My DC5-R is going in for paint soon. It’s championship white but we are not sure about the exact paint code. Since you talked about it in the video maybe you know this. On the batch it says NH0X. Does this mean it’s different from NH0?
looks like you missed the 2 creases/dents on the rear hatch .... top corners of the license plate bezel. or those cant be PDR'd?
Unfortunately those are the slight limitation of PDR
So apparently the EK9 had no rear windshield wiper interesting I'm in the process of building an EK9l from a 1999 DX hatchback I have the whole front end of an EK9 everything including wiring no wires were cut not even has tank or hatch wires this ones gonna be an interesting one just got in co tact with Slavuagd Vehcile inspection officer and California Highway Patrol I'm cleared to do this and get a new US vin# assigned currently today I just cut out the firewall I'm even getting ever detail right the the sub towers crossbar support bar studs all other hatches don't have the little threaded studs only EK9
greeting from malaysia..i want this car🤤🥰
Hello 👋. Thanks for joining us!!
Do you guys use the rubber strip that protects the lip from scratching the bumper paint?
Not on the pre-EK9. They don't sit perfect and look right after installation
So clean!
Yes sirrr
Hey I guessed it right! 🙂
You did 👍🏼
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers!!
Omg my dream car 🤤🤤🤤🥰🥰🥰
Us too!
With what grid did he sand the headlights before clear coating?
Oddam swoją Honde do remontu dla was 😁

Is the trim finish done in Matte or Satin?
It’s SEM Trim paint, close to a satin finish
What is the average cost to repair a bumper that has spider web cracks?
All vary, but safe to say $300-500
Where do most of your customers source these EK9s from?
Not sure
AAHHCC🙌
Right on bud!!!
Still has a small ding on the hood. Passenger side close to the H logo
still saw the dent near to rear plate
There's some limitation on PDR
I wanna bring my car to you. I am in NY
Sure thing
Guy tinder foi vítima de racismo, xel sw
