Hello everyone! It’s nice to see my old car getting a little bit of limelight in the hands of its new owner. I’m glad that it went to a great home and is still being taken to the track to serve as a dual-purpose car as I had intended it to be. For anyone that is familiar with the tracks in SoCal, here is a list of my best times that I was able to achieve with this car (for the ones interested, you can find a few in-car videos on my UA-cam channel 🍻): •ACS Infield - 1:20.129 (9/23/17) •Big Willow - 1:39.48 (12/16/17) •BW CW13 - 2:07.337 (12/3/17) •CVR CW - 2:12.303 (4/8/17) •SOW CW - 1:30.895 (10/8/16) •SOW CCW - 1:31.631 (8/19/17)
try a 92-95 era civic sometime, they are scary good drivers cars, extremely reliable, parts are extremely cheap. you can drive it flat out and not be freaking out of cops or endangering crowds. many smiles per gallon to be had. easily my favorite car I've ever owned was a 92 ex coupe and I'm currently driving a AP2
Definitely. Everyone's arguing over cars that are separated by 5 seconds at the Nurburgring when 99% of us can't take these sports and hypercars to even 7/10ths the limit. Stuff like this (and Miata, of course) can teach you a lot about how cars work and behave at the limit.
What a great guy. It is so nice to see a guy in the Honda community who isn't obnoxious and actually knows his stuff. Makes me proud to have a modified Civic similar to this one.
This guy gets it...... When I was younger went from boosted to boosted builds, from bmw to subie to rb25s....... About five years back I got a 1969 karmann ghia, it thought me that my whole life I had depended on my cars to make me fast. The ghia forced me to become a better driver, few years later got an MKii Jetta carat, NOW THAT car thought me how to really drive. Recently modded up the mkii, made it a carburated conversion on the 8v with a built head and cam. The went to town on suspension. The Mkii is funner than any of my old high value high power cars.......... Driver mod development > everything else.
Driving slow cars fast is where its at! Definitely makes you a better driver! Driver technique! are the best mods imo! Great to see these one takes again!definitely a a great lil car! 👍👍👊✌
Except i wouldnt drive a geo metro or a ford taurus at high speeds. Hondas are the king of FWD and have proven to beat cars like the MR2 (around a track) with such little mods.
Would you drive a geo metro or ford focus fast or even modify it? Probably not..hondas are race cars in disguise, i think we can agree other manufacturers havent created a similar FWD offering.
Noise Control Exchanging drivability and comfort on the street for a few tenths of a second better lap time for a street drivin car is rediculous and lousy. Just like how low torque and high reving HP motors are garbage on the street.
I have the automatic, sold in South Africa as the name "Ballade", for marketing reasons. When you have everything in tact and serviced, it's a high class vehicle which steers excellently, holds well and accelerates well.
Not going to lie but I love Zack as the new One Take host. Very knowledgeable, can drive and he has the personality to deal with each person. Excited to see more of these.
7 seconds more to shave off at the track. Absolutely the right car to learn on. And power is so easy to add to Civics to get faster once you get to higher levels
Good one Zack! A suggestion is to try to keep it a bot shorter 10-12 min and keep the ”almost” 20 min ones saved for the really really special ones! ... Otherwise my morning dumps will be suspiciously long!
Same dude! I’ve had a Coyote Mustang, Supercharged FRS, C5 Z06 etc, and my B18C type R swapped CRX has been by far my most favorite. Some people don’t realize that you don’t need 1000whp to have fun in a car. Sometimes a great handling, short geared, sub 200hp car is all you need to put a smile on your face. I think the Fiesta ST guys can attest to that too lol
This is how I approached my '93 Civic coupe. Engine mods are just an AEM CAI, and a used DC 4-2-1 header. Suspension was KYB AGX's paired with Ground Controls. A Cusco front upper strut tower bar also. I lowered the front about an inch lower than the rear to put more weight on the drive wheels. Stiffened the rear AGX's to 4, and fronts to 2. At 40 PSI on stock tires and wheels, there would be little understeer, and throttle on the turn would cause to the car to rotate amazingly and predictably. I knew my Civic was setup well when I lost this "crew" of three Type-R's repeatedly in the technical parts of a track, each lap. That, plus great braking and heel-toeing.
They made zack practice on a civic for his first first take. 😂he does a good job. Put the mic a little closer to your mouth please. Is zack matt's son, because he reviews good like he does
So glad to see the One Takes continuing with Zack. Also, this owner is awesome. He's got a great mindset. I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking about buying a car and building it just like this for a cheap but fun daily.
Really reminds me of my opel vectra 2.0. You can really go all out on it and drive it like you hate it without doing 100 in 10 seconds lol. Fricking hate the sound tho but thats just my preference. Great to see the one takes come back!!! Zacks a good host
Thanks for the opportunity Zack, I had a great time meeting you guys! Ironically, the day the video drops talking about how reliable it is, it breaks down. Haha. Btw, is it ok if I plug my instagram here 😬😂 @lees_garage
Lee's Garage no way that sucks! What was the issue if don't mind me asking? By the way love the little Honda! Great little touge runner for sure brotha! Aslo a loyal honda owner myself! Love taking on the twisty in my unmodified 93 rs 5speed da-9! So much fun!..👍👍👊✌
Great Vid! I'm also driving same model as well, it's tiny by today's standard but loads of character and nice to look at especially when modded it right.
So weird. The driver is now the small and thin guy next to the passenger. :-D Love it! Thank You Zack for taking the torch and going on with the fan cars :-)
I love the conversation you guys had. Y’all got the point across. It’s not about adding more hp or aero to get a better lap time. It’s about working on your driving skills to get better lap times. Then you compare that to others in the same class or to the laptime other ppl are getting with similar setup. That’s how you know if you’re driving is improving. So many UA-camrs just add hp and aero to improve lap times, but they just put themselves in another class or level where the lap times are way below what similar cars with same hp and aero are getting. You can add aero, but other ppl with the same car are getting faster lap times without aero. That’s the wrong approach to improving lap times.
nice video, smart owner, and a classic Zack's one-liner: "led by the depreciation squad" :) my only suggestion is to get the mics in closer for your voices - Matt's booming voice overcame some of it before
Great job Zack! For a second I thought the owner was Matt's body double...Seriously guys I think these fan car episodes are way more fun than dealer demo cars. Stuff like "power band-aid" would never come from just reading a window sticker/build sheet.
Zack Klapman it didn't happen, I wish there was a story! It was a pic that looked like my grandpa and a play on internet addresses. Boring! Thanks for keeping up the series bro!
Nice car, good owner. if you guys wanna good yard stick to measure up too. Let a pro driver lap your at a track with you in it. When you get close to their best time. Now it's time to add power or switch to a more capable car.
Overall, I thought Zack did a great job but I would like to see more stats about the car. Maybe what the redline is or what transmission is in it. Honestly I think that there is no better person than Zack to continue the one takes.
Great job Zack! Keep these going! Don’t let Matt end the one takes haha. I’ll love to see a 2010-2014 gt500 featured on the one takes. Matt never featured one on his one takes
This really made me think, I’m 17 recently bought a mkvi GTI. I no longer am saving up for a new tune for my car but brakes suspension and track days. I drove my dads stock ‘09 civic for over a year so I became used to the lower power and love the current GTI but I obviously still have much to learn about driving
Perfect place to start man, as you probably know by now the good old MKVI and actually all non PP equipped MKVIIs (this gets even more confusing for 2019) use a ABS-reliant eLSD. So if you can beef up those brakes you're addressing one of the main things that will keep you on track longer, cooling those poor overworked brakes. Before going down the rabbit hole of springs/coils look into some chassis bracing, a lot of the more trackday minded guys had good feedback on those. Don't feel too bad about the power difference between generations, later you can always get a reflash. Most say a 'Stage 1' MKVI feels about where a stock MKVII puts you on the power curve.
D Lombana what break kits would your recommend? I know my pads burn up pretty fast due to my spirited driving style. Obviously I know of brembo but those seems so expensive. What would be an affordable, bang for the buck upgrade from the stock steel?
Bang for the buck would be some Hawk HPS pads with some Motul RBF600 fluid and like Anton Peterson mentioned, definitely some good performance summer tires. The better grip you have the less correcting you have to do with braking. I honestly think a big brake kit is overkill especially starting out. Also not sure how deep you want to dive into class based events but BBKs will throw you into other classes with more prepped cars + more experienced drivers. I'd try to stay as close to stock as possible for now.
My first car was a stripped hyundai excel x3 (accent in the US) with a race seat, harnesses and good suspension with very little work done to the 1.5l twin cam motor. Such a fun car to drive fast as a driver thats still learning
What an awesome car! It looks and sounds great! Thanks for sharing this great build! I’ll bet most of your subs passed this episode up because the thumbnail looked boring. Too bad for them😩. I think the most fun car I ever had was my 2005 5-spd manual Civic LX Sedan. Or my 1972 MG Midget, or my 1969 VW Beetle. Well, you get my point!
This same mantra applies with motorcycles as well. All too often I see guys go out and buy a 1000cc sport bike and think they are king shit until they get to a curve and a 600cc or less blows by them like they are standing still.. I always tell people start with the smallest bike you can comfortably fit on and go from there. Go slow to get smooth and once you are smooth you will be fast.

Honda's have always been a well balanced vehicle, that's easy to drop a swap in an take advantage of the power to weight ratio. t's good to see these back... can't wait for the next!
There is something about the EG/EK era Civics. When you own the car you learn that each tire provides feedback in a quiet way. I personally don't really care about horsepower, I just need my motor to have some character and good throttle response. The single cam Hondas were just fine, and actually have something to teach even modern cars about longevity and simplicity. I know that I should get something better, but I have made that mistake before when I sold my BMW 2002
"I bought this to level up my driver mod" Just want to point out the absolute choice mindset right there.
He said it during the meet and greet and I said, "Say that in the car. The world needs to hear this." - ZK
Matt Farah, testicular comfort connoisseur.
agentlongwood I found them at a store at the beach and it was $30 for one pair.
"We're being led by the depreciation squad" LOL the new one takes are in good hands with Zack!
People need to understand the value of these builds. Money can never buy driving skills.
Hello everyone! It’s nice to see my old car getting a little bit of limelight in the hands of its new owner. I’m glad that it went to a great home and is still being taken to the track to serve as a dual-purpose car as I had intended it to be.
For anyone that is familiar with the tracks in SoCal, here is a list of my best times that I was able to achieve with this car (for the ones interested, you can find a few in-car videos on my UA-cam channel 🍻):
•ACS Infield - 1:20.129 (9/23/17)
•Big Willow - 1:39.48 (12/16/17)

#thatwhitefourdoor
I thought I recognized it
I knew I recognized an old Vtec Club car.
My initial reaction was "Why would anybody ever drive that?" His answer was really deep and I think we can all learn from this, if we're being honest.
100%. If I had thought like him 10 or 15 years ago, I'd be a better driver today.
try a 92-95 era civic sometime, they are scary good drivers cars, extremely reliable, parts are extremely cheap. you can drive it flat out and not be freaking out of cops or endangering crowds. many smiles per gallon to be had. easily my favorite car I've ever owned was a 92 ex coupe and I'm currently driving a AP2
is this matt or zack replying now?
they weigh like 2200 and you can get 200 hp out of them for like 4000.. including the price of the car
Definitely. Everyone's arguing over cars that are separated by 5 seconds at the Nurburgring when 99% of us can't take these sports and hypercars to even 7/10ths the limit. Stuff like this (and Miata, of course) can teach you a lot about how cars work and behave at the limit.
love seeing people who build a car to drive and enjoy and not to worried about it having the fastest thing on there.
Mumble although this one is already came moded. Lol guy didn't built it.b
Woah it’s a little strange without Matt but I still love the concept of one takes so i’m quite happy still
No its not
Just because it feels strange doesn't mean it doesn't feel good. - ZK
Bob Barker fuuuuck i actually forgot what i was watching until you mentioned matt not being here
Bob Barker yes, in fact it does feel strange as hell :) , but we have to give Zack and us a little time. It will be good.
Matt isn’t going to waste his time with this rice shit.
Slow cars make fast drivers 🤓
True
False
What a great guy. It is so nice to see a guy in the Honda community who isn't obnoxious and actually knows his stuff. Makes me proud to have a modified Civic similar to this one.
This guy gets it......

CIvic was the car that taught me to be a better driver
Donald Drumpf vr6 is one of the worst engine ever made by man try again
Saves on speeding tickets too! 😆
Always learn to drive before you go fast otherwise you'll be in a UA-cam compilation.
Except i wouldnt drive a geo metro or a ford taurus at high speeds. Hondas are the king of FWD and have proven to beat cars like the MR2 (around a track) with such little mods.
And my friends wonder why I drive a 25 year old Civic.
Mines 26!
I wish to own one when i get my licens
Mines from 1994
mine's 29 . crazy little thing still kicks hard
1995 4 door lx gang
I love watching Melvin drive this beauty! I'm happy the new owner has used it in the exact same way!
wait did you build this car?
Driving a slow car fast is so much more fun than driving a fast car slow. Good start Zack, this was pretty rad.
Jonathan Edwards ...ummm no. I would take any fast car and have more fun driving slow than any civic. Oxymoron=fast+civic
Low power car are easy to drive fast
Would you drive a geo metro or ford focus fast or even modify it? Probably not..hondas are race cars in disguise, i think we can agree other manufacturers havent created a similar FWD offering.
Exact
ZACK!!!GO!!!!ZACK!!!!!!
This car needs a twisty road!
True. Needs tighter twists, but man it carried speed.
Single cam power boi
When you want to haul A$$ but don't want speeding tickets 💯💯
gavi deem yes, lower friction, lower weight, lower rotating mass.
Jarek Nowak less moving parts, easier to take care of, cheaper to maintain and modify because it's smaller along with one less camshaft 😃
This idea of running a single cam is now intriguing me. I've always turned up my nose at it, but now I'm curious
These cars came very well balanced but im just a fan boy.
You can import a Honda Beat now pretty affordably
Honda Vlogs no you’re not. These are awesome Civics. Best looking IMO.
Noise Control No power steering is a downgrade bud.
Noise Control Exchanging drivability and comfort on the street for a few tenths of a second better lap time for a street drivin car is rediculous and lousy. Just like how low torque and high reving HP motors are garbage on the street.
98 Civic has a hydraulic clutch....
I have the automatic, sold in South Africa as the name "Ballade", for marketing reasons. When you have everything in tact and serviced, it's a high class vehicle which steers excellently, holds well and accelerates well.
How's the on center steering?
of the car or the underwear?
And how 'bout that turning radius, eh?
On center was pretty tight. I don't remember there being any slop. Hard to remember since it was a few weeks ago.
I died laughing at this one.
The Honda community is the best I’ve ever seen!
GHOSTJERKER we're pretty great, I cover the majority of us in youtube on my channel
*Sarcasm doesn't translate well in text
Juan Salgado No sarcasm intended.
GHOSTJERKER is this satire?
The one in my town is quote "hell x2)
Yes Zack!!!! You fucking killed it it this!!! I can’t wait for this new generation of one takes!
Zack doing these series justice
CrocodileTearsbro lol never thought I’d see you here wtf
[100] is still shit, love you tho buddy
CrocodileTearsbro 100 is ded
[100] will never die
Not going to lie but I love Zack as the new One Take host. Very knowledgeable, can drive and he has the personality to deal with each person. Excited to see more of these.

Good one Zack! A suggestion is to try to keep it a bot shorter 10-12 min and keep the ”almost” 20 min ones saved for the really really special ones! ... Otherwise my morning dumps will be suspiciously long!
Yep, gonna work on that. Got caught up driving and talking. The long ones are called "Fiber Takes".
Melvin’s old car!
Nathan Mao yessssss. I was like wtf I seen this car somewhere before!
Same dude! I’ve had a Coyote Mustang, Supercharged FRS, C5 Z06 etc, and my B18C type R swapped CRX has been by far my most favorite. Some people don’t realize that you don’t need 1000whp to have fun in a car. Sometimes a great handling, short geared, sub 200hp car is all you need to put a smile on your face. I think the Fiesta ST guys can attest to that too lol
This is how I approached my '93 Civic coupe. Engine mods are just an AEM CAI, and a used DC 4-2-1 header.
Suspension was KYB AGX's paired with Ground Controls. A Cusco front upper strut tower bar also. I lowered the front about an inch lower than the rear to put more weight on the drive wheels. Stiffened the rear AGX's to 4, and fronts to 2.
At 40 PSI on stock tires and wheels, there would be little understeer, and throttle on the turn would cause to the car to rotate amazingly and predictably.
I knew my Civic was setup well when I lost this "crew" of three Type-R's repeatedly in the technical parts of a track, each lap. That, plus great braking and heel-toeing.
Great job, Zack!
They made zack practice on a civic for his first first take. 😂he does a good job. Put the mic a little closer to your mouth please. Is zack matt's son, because he reviews good like he does
That same day, a 400WHP 340i showed up. The difference in speed and feel was great.
Will move mic and turn up levels in my voice.
These cars are so fun to drive.
Great Video!! Thank you so much for letting us take part. Thanks to everyone who gives SHEATH drive.
Randy is absolutely the most down to earth fan car owner, and Zack did an awesome job! Looking forward to more.
So glad to see the One Takes continuing with Zack. Also, this owner is awesome. He's got a great mindset. I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking about buying a car and building it just like this for a cheap but fun daily.
I really enjoy seeing enthusiast building sedan Hondas. Much respect
Goodjob zack. Glad to see you doing your new project.
So happy to see Zach!! He Killed it!
Great first fan one take Zack! Congrats! So happy the series is continuing under you guidance, knowledge and enthusiasm.
Sir you’re allowed to upshift. With that said, thanks for continuing this series.
Great debut Zack, your perspective and analogies are always on point!
Really reminds me of my opel vectra 2.0. You can really go all out on it and drive it like you hate it without doing 100 in 10 seconds lol. Fricking hate the sound tho but thats just my preference.
Great to see the one takes come back!!! Zacks a good host
Thanks for the opportunity Zack, I had a great time meeting you guys! Ironically, the day the video drops talking about how reliable it is, it breaks down. Haha. Btw, is it ok if I plug my instagram here 😬😂 @lees_garage
Lee's Garage no way that sucks! What was the issue if don't mind me asking? By the way love the little Honda! Great little touge runner for sure brotha! Aslo a loyal honda owner myself! Love taking on the twisty in my unmodified 93 rs 5speed da-9! So much fun!..👍👍👊✌
What broke?
TheSmokingTire distributor decided to implode. Easy fix, I’ll be back on the road today.
Lee's Garage common for a Honda easy fix!..
Good job on this video it was great!
Just give me one takes of matt putting on his sheathes imho
Dafq
Whoa wait a minute.
Great Vid! I'm also driving same model as well, it's tiny by today's standard but loads of character and nice to look at especially when modded it right.
So weird. The driver is now the small and thin guy next to the passenger. :-D
Love it! Thank You Zack for taking the torch and going on with the fan cars :-)
Thanks for keeping this kind of One Takes alive Zack!

Sweet! I'm stoked for the new one takes. It'll take some time to adjust but it's gonna be so good! Keep it up :)
nice video, smart owner, and a classic Zack's one-liner: "led by the depreciation squad" :)
my only suggestion is to get the mics in closer for your voices - Matt's booming voice overcame some of it before
You kicked ass! This series is alive and kicking!
You're doing good man, keep it up!
but how's the turning radius?
One Take lives on
Great job Zack! For a second I thought the owner was Matt's body double...Seriously guys I think these fan car episodes are way more fun than dealer demo cars. Stuff like "power band-aid" would never come from just reading a window sticker/build sheet.
Now I'm curious what conversation you were in with Hunter S that led to "Colon Slash" .
Zack Klapman it didn't happen, I wish there was a story! It was a pic that looked like my grandpa and a play on internet addresses. Boring! Thanks for keeping up the series bro!
Zack needs to shift more. He's gonna blow that thing up. It might like to rev, but not pegged there all day.
Jim Bullerdick it’s a Honda it’s ok.
Great smoking tire! Can’t beat cheap reliable fun👍🏻
Awesome owner. Great call on your first one, Zack!
Zack's cool. I like Zack.
Nice car, good owner. if you guys wanna good yard stick to measure up too. Let a pro driver lap your at a track with you in it. When you get close to their best time. Now it's time to add power or switch to a more capable car.
Overall, I thought Zack did a great job but I would like to see more stats about the car. Maybe what the redline is or what transmission is in it. Honestly I think that there is no better person than Zack to continue the one takes.
That's a total practice mobile. Good choice. The beauty part is that anyone can drive that car, learn, and have the confidence to do more.
Great job Zack! Keep these going! Don’t let Matt end the one takes haha. I’ll love to see a 2010-2014 gt500 featured on the one takes. Matt never featured one on his one takes

I too would like to know
Some stickier tyres will also help to.
Bang for the buck would be some Hawk HPS pads with some Motul RBF600 fluid and like Anton Peterson mentioned, definitely some good performance summer tires. The better grip you have the less correcting you have to do with braking. I honestly think a big brake kit is overkill especially starting out. Also not sure how deep you want to dive into class based events but BBKs will throw you into other classes with more prepped cars + more experienced drivers. I'd try to stay as close to stock as possible for now.
I watch this constantly to stay motivated to grab a older Honda and do these exact mods
My first car was a stripped hyundai excel x3 (accent in the US) with a race seat, harnesses and good suspension with very little work done to the 1.5l twin cam motor. Such a fun car to drive fast as a driver thats still learning
Stellar job, Zack!!!
Nice job Zack keep it up!
Good start Zack!
Just picked up a 97 ex and this is roughly the look and set-up I'm aiming for.
Glad to see you let someone else take over the smoking tire instead of it just going by the waste side.
Welcome Zack our new one-taker! You did a great job in your debut. I look forward to many more of these.
+1 for "Ball pouch" ad!
What an awesome car! It looks and sounds great! Thanks for sharing this great build! I’ll bet most of your subs passed this episode up because the thumbnail looked boring. Too bad for them😩. I think the most fun car I ever had was my 2005 5-spd manual Civic LX Sedan. Or my 1972 MG Midget, or my 1969 VW Beetle. Well, you get my point!
Driving a slow car fast is so much more enjoyable
Congrats Zack, you did great!!! Long live one takes!
Great job Zack. Great audio too. Keep up the good content!
Love the way zack actually lets the car owner actually explain about the car.
I remember the Audi V10 video Zack did way back, good to see him back in the hot seat
Great job Zack! Keep 'em coming!
I like it.
Zack starts with the beaters, then works his way up :D
Nice work on the video, man.
Gracias.
This civic guy is an awesome. Every car guy should aspire to be like this guy
This same mantra applies with motorcycles as well. All too often I see guys go out and buy a 1000cc sport bike and think they are king shit until they get to a curve and a 600cc or less blows by them like they are standing still.. I always tell people start with the smallest bike you can comfortably fit on and go from there. Go slow to get smooth and once you are smooth you will be fast.

Sick car...for the price i must say it's a thumbs up from me!
id love to have the same, but hatch.
Own a 2008 VW Rabbit with a similar build sheet. All suspension, brakes and tires. No HP to speak of... But such fun to drive!
This car is awesome and Zack kills it!
yeah! Congrats Zack. Really coo vid!
great first one take Zach! enjoyed it!
Kick ass, way to go Zack! Matt GL on future endeavors.
There is something about the EG/EK era Civics. When you own the car you learn that each tire provides feedback in a quiet way.
I personally don't really care about horsepower, I just need my motor to have some character and good throttle response. The single cam Hondas were just fine, and actually have something to teach even modern cars about longevity and simplicity.
I know that I should get something better, but I have made that mistake before when I sold my BMW 2002
Love this guys approach to his car. Cant wait to finish university so i can build mine in a similar way. Awesome vid and love the discussions.
Love the dudes honesty.
Rock on Zack. And this car is sweet!
