2,300lb K24 Swapped Civic Time Attack Car is a Lightweight Time Attack Machine
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Amidst a sea of big aero, big power, and big budgets, it’s always refreshing to see a home-built Civic that can still make some more expensive machinery sweat. It’s a classic recipe: drop as much weight as possible, and pop in the biggest motor you can find. Pair it with the biggest tires you can stuff in the fender. Our friend from Gears and Gasoline Ben’s EK hatch is the build that gives us time attack hope - lots of fun, and lots of speed for minimal budget.

That’s weird Gears and Gasoline doesn’t usually upload on weekdays

I was at Road America the day he got the class record. Ben drives the wheels off that thing. Shame it hit the wall after he got the record.

Ben's EK, and their footage/documentary on it, is freaking amazing. Glad to see it on here!
I knew this was ben's ek .i watched it's every build episode 😇
saw the thumbnail and instantly knew it was gears and gasoline

I already watched the entire build on G&G so I know about every part of the car.. But Larry Chen so I watch again
This channel has quickly become one of my favorites.
me and my dad always call those batteries "PP9" after the little square ones you can get. I also had the exact same battery in my VSM EK9. Worth the money all day, and ive had my car sat for 5-6 weeks and never had an issue starting the car.
29:16 the van casually passing by while they are WOT 😂👌
The chemistry between y’all is refreshing af
I used to drive a badass dc2 swapped turbo civic eg.. it was fun now I just like them because they oil down the track and give us time between runs LOL.. still a place in my heart for Honda's..
2 channels that I actually enjoy in one video!!! Cheers to the function car peeps 🙌
I started on turbo toyotas and used to turn up my nose on hondas too. But my em1 (1st performance Honda) has turned me into a believer! Done right, older hondas have immediate response, hold grip extremely well, and who doesn't love screaming vtec @8500 rpm? Love honda
I never realized how good Hondas were until my 07 V6 Accord with cai / exhaust/ throttle body spacer was keeping up with other cars that should've smoked it..
Amen my man said it! (It looks better with 15s) same with most 80s/90s JDMs you need that thicc sidewall!
Great video! this car had a lot of thought put into it to be built properly.
The crossover I forgot I wanted!
They did an awesome job with the civic, knew who's it was when I saw the thumbnail!
This thing was ripping at ppir. Love it
12:48 Ben's nervous laughter about how fast his car is, is where I wanna be in life bro.
Yup loving seeing the clash of coolest channels 😍
Seeing one of my favourite YT channels getting the Hoonigan AF spotlight is so cool! Would love to see one on Gingium's Rally Miata!
It’s crazy how he doesn’t know anything about this car but I’ve watched the whole series 😂
Dude, this is so sick to see the crossover of these two channels that I love. We love community!
This generation civic in the hatch version ek is the most aesthetically pleasing vehicle I can think of. Wheels. And tint is the only mods I would do. Just to compliment and already great looking car. Nothing about this body style is insulting. The plastic trim on the doors that run down the side isn't even ugly. If straight. The interior is simple easy on the eyes. It's just great design imo. It's a bubble ear car that wasn't in the bubble era. I've wanted one since the tuner craze in the early 2000s I was 13. I need to aquire one I think

@Matt sorry I forgot to add out of high production number cars the best looking car ever in my opinion is the 250 GT swb Berlinetta this changes from time to time depending on what type of racing I'm into at the time or if I seen it in a movie. Not long ago it was the lancia stratos. Then it was the lancia Delta integral Hf and that was where I got my user name
I love ben's Ek. Honda boys where you at😎
I love the ole hatch civics
Dear lord that civic is awesome
I’ll be changing my Dif in a few months for a Quaife. If you want to buy my stock dif, let me know. I live in Tokyo and own a 2008 Civic Type R (FD2).
"I wanted to do a special proposal" "So Ben asked me-" I swear to God I thought the next words out of his mouth were going to be "To marry him

Woot for the shoutout to Professional Awesome! Went to college with them.

Nice👌🏼 in Cape Town South Africa those motors gets swapped in different vehicles 😄👍🏼
He is my favorite driver such an underdog bro such a beast #keepgunnin
So good!
Same motor set up too wow he know,he did it rite 07 tsx bottoms become 06-08 is what u want and a prb head swap a true k24 frank don’t get me wrong a full 06-08 tsx k24a2 will do just as good but why not if u have the parts..just love this build a lot
This civic is sooo dope
Hell yeah! More Hondas and road racing please! Vtec club?!
New Falkens look uncannily like the RE71 R!!! And OMG those spring rates, damn (!!!)
Hey, that’s my Type R in the background 😁
Crossover of the century!
Love Bens car.
Gears and Gasoline X Hoonigan Autofocus.. ^ ^ Two of my Favorites

Really enjoy both your channels, awesome car culture KZread influencers!?! ⛽ Vtec, kicked in yo!?! 🤣 lol
Why neds not there. He would have geeked tf out seeing this beautiful ek. I own one with the d16y7 currently out of comission cause I was out racing v8s on my birthday and blew my bottom block
The most ambitious crossover in car youtube history
Been following mia since it was taken on roadtrip with dumplin!
Interior simple 🔥🔥🔥🔥6ps k20z3 lsd the only k series gear box that’s lsd in USA non jdm grate choice,try the 4,3 final tho over the 4.7 with the 2.4 the 4.3 gives a little longer ratio to the gear sets and it helps big time,when I was on the 4.7 I felt like I was running out of gear by the time I’m hitting red line witch is tuned @8500 made 232whp 199wtq with -3 degrees of timing pulled didn’t want a to aggressive of Tuned being that I daily drive more than I race it..

Ben: "I watch all your videos!" Larry's mind: "Yeeeah, that's not creepy at all..."
Nice build! What battery mount did you use for your antigravity battery? Was it a direct bolt in to the factory battery location?
Ah I see the Honda Insight was mentioned this far back. An Insight was their most recent purchase.
This is by far my favorite on this channel juts because I have same set up in my coupe and I’m the type that’s all about function over form and I’m trying to get into time attack,love that wheels spec’s and happy to know I can run 255 wide tires on a 17” and not even on a 15” and I do agree the 15” wheels feel much bette but I also agree with more traction and grip💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I absolutely love this hat and who gives a flying fuck is it’s not a real ek9 he did it rite tho and it looks just as good if not better then a plane old b series ek9 wow it’s a type r I’ll take a k swap any day over a old b series motor.its a better bang for the buck 💪🏾💪🏾
0:04 mark, "this things so fast" and then you see behind him is a courier van speeding past the civic with EASE.
Dudeeee..never this would happen. But it did
If you have four point harness you must wear HANS or neck brace when driving you will break your neck in A 20 mph collission

Ben and Ben have one of the best car channels on utoob IMO. @GearsandGasoline
I love aggressive vtec crossover
Im assuming this is before the fender bender? But im confused because he said he's broken the fwd record already
THE BENS!!!!!!
A True NA Honda performing its birthright!! Getting 'round some corners with high RPM!!! #wite.bored
Larry, please do a Autofocus episode on Amir from RS Future's Time Attack K20 swapped NSX!
I really wanna get a 99-00 hatch with the type r mods I wouldn’t badge it up at all just a good platform for a k20 or k24 with a turbo
Championship white has really grown on me over the years
first 10 seconds of the video " here we go running away.... (misses a shift) holy!!!! holy !!!!! oh my God oh my God...."
