@Fukurtech Censorship fairenuf. I love itrs over ctr but have driven both on windy roads and the itr is slightly more rear end unstable just because it has a bit more weight past the rear wheels. But that's just my opinion.

Supercharged Honda's always sound so sick.

Tommys really come a long way. I’ve been watching since his red s12 giveaway and to see how far he’s come is crazy. “It’s not as fast as the GTR, but it’s not about that” i’m glad he’s been able to both and watching it feels like history being made. From a perfectly put together 485 hp Godzilla to the white on white like baby powder Slicktop or the perfectly balanced k-miata and now a Civic type R? This man knows no boundaries and it shows. Zinc plated bolts, under the hood decals, radio deletes all in the name of OEM+. I didnt even know period correct was a thing until l watched these videos. Tommy has easily cemented himself as a top content creator in my opinion. Somebody give this man his flowers.

S2k is definitely right after the NSX.

Smart move picking up a future classic. The ctr is a beast on the track for what it is. Enjoy it as is and make a build series with it. See what it can beat on track as is. Then boost it and see what it compares to then. There fun cars. Defiently loving the honda content lately.

I love the Honda content. Everybody loved Honda’s at some point. Good buy papa Tom!

Man it’s not about the speed just fucking look at it I love the 90’s honda

I used to have an eg hatch CX with a JRSC GSR with type r internals and type r transmission that pulled really hard, really regret getting rid of that one, but now I have a 93 Si hatchback with full Si-R b16a swap that is very similar to the giveaway car. I would say put the JRSC on the ek9 personally, but you probably have other ideas for it

KZread is the best. I get to live vicariously through Tommy buying and owning a ctr. I don’t think I have a car I’ve lusted over more than a ek9

Jackson super charger on the si would be sick!

I’m super glad that your a Honda boi at heart cuz I am too 😂 those Honda’s just make me smile, I’m also glad your the one working on them. You do automotive performance and basically Resto-OEM+ the right way ! Congratulations on how far you’ve come Tommy 🥳 🎉

Tommy, im so glad you're doing so good in business, so glad I've watched u since day 1 and you've grown so much and literally have the best automotive channel out there, hope we have vids for more years to come you're honestly a sick KZread, No homo

That is one of my favorite cars ever and I'm not remotely a Honda guy. I'm actually really stoked you got it because I know it'll be done right, awesome job.

this honda content is getting amazing.... please pick up a crx i really need fyeah ideas for mine. also a hf in crx is the model you prefer with the least amount of options and weight savings

Nice purchase 👌 Wanted an ek9 R for about 15 years They are so expensive now in the uk £20k+ for a tidy one

Same. All classic JDM cars in the UK make me want to cry.

Awesome car Tom. I had seen that car in their driveway a couple times and was drooling over it. I live literally across the street, my house is in the video. They are dynoing cars constantly and it's a good possibility I heard them dynoing that car! They Dyno cars til like midnight sometimes, even on Sundays (Sundays is actually a common day they do dynos). They had a sweet a R35 a few months back (The shops only been open like a year), but it had an ugly green wrap.

the Honda content is 🔥 killing it !! Supercharge it…I’m a Honda fan boi myself can’t wait to see what you do with the CTR

The b16b is actually a destroked b18c motor to have a better piston speed ratio .it's a taller b16 engine

Tommys smile while ripping the ITR is priceless!!!! 😆😆😆😆 Sonic203 shop is straight fire! I love passing by there .

Super stoked to see what's to come with this EK9, this seems like the keeper Honda so far! Matches the R32 in some top tier trim type of way.

These videos have been straight fire, cant wait for what the channel has in store, Fyeah!

Ktuned coilovers have adjustable 31 or 32 way dampening, I have them on my car really great. Uses little allens on the top of the coils to adjust

So stoked for you to get into the ek world. I own an ek2 myself, so this is very exciting for me.

JR chargers on a b16 will probably get you to around 200wheel. That being said I think it needs to go on the ek, cause the open dif of the si is gonna kill the feel

Tommy I'm so stoked on you're progression, thanks for the inspiration. FYEAH for life👊

Congrats awesome pickup! And you gotta bring the Evo to RADwood and Limerock, that thing is so awesome.

So here are some numbers to argue about; We have “stock” 1996 EK9 weight as 2315-2360lbs, variance is due to the different EK9 sub options and dealer add ons you could get. The “stock” USDM 1995 EH3 has a curb weight of 2360-2491 lbs, again depending on what factory options were selected upon order. As for the engines, the original D16z6 weighs 310-330lbs and the B16a2 was 309-320lbs so they’re about the same there. When it all comes down to it, the EK9 and the Fyeah-Spec EH3 are going to be such a good head to head match up but I think the EK9 will take it.

I have to say I love the separation of the business an the channel being we get the GTR love on the restoration side an you never know with the fyeah spec swapped chevy an ctrs itr doin it right keep bringing the fire

Looks sick with the bronze! I'd SC the si. Also finnaly integrating music ! So much better than awkward silence lol. Music ads to the emotion and feeling. Gives wayyyy more vibes having music instead of some asmr amaranth vibes lol

Hey Tommy happy Sunday man I'm so glad you keep doing Honda content really enjoy bonding with my son watching your fire content

Please do lap times of the ctr, itr, and si. Would be cool to see the 3 of em put down some times

The cx Canadian model eg i believe is the lightest of the bunch, si being on the heavier side due to the sunroof option

if you're gonna do the Jackson Racing supercharger look into intercooling it like youngstatic on yt did recently, LHT has been known to modify the JRSC for a long time too. the IATs go through the roof on a full 1-4 pull. E85 helps and water meth too but it's kinda a hassle. ben can easily modify the manifold with a finned aluminum water tube.

Having old vibes from my yellow 5 lug ek. The ctr is going to walk the itr just due to gearing alone. Best tans is the b16b trans

Holt shit! I'm from western Mass and I just found your page, I cant believe there is a community this big so close to me

Ek9 has been my dream track car for about 15 years now but never got the opportunity to own one as in the Uk there going for big big money. So bought the ep3 type R instead

Greddy Japan made turbo kits for the CTR it also was paired with an apexi power fc and 550cc injectors and a stage 3 pucked clutch.

I daily my DC2R and it's fantastic. Lightened flywheel and upgrading the intake are essential tho, really wakes the car up

Been waiting for you to buy a EK9 for years! A car I've dreamed of owning since I was 16. I'm glad one of us could get one. Congrats.

That yellow itr wit the kswap charger sounds crazy!!! GOOD👌🏾

Thats my dream honda. Lovely hatchback 🤩🤙 LHT does great supercharger builds with these hondas if your going that route over a turbo. They in Florida

Damnnn hearing that k20 ITR really makes me want to supercharge my FA5, without that crazy loud of an exhaust though lol.

Epic purchase congrats. That b16b is something else put a b16b head on my a2 and what a difference it made!

I just want to keep watching.The ending of these videos just get you pumped ready for the next one hahaha

i think small turbo for the civic type r, make it look absolutely as stock as possible and almost n/a type power delivery. make it look like it had a turbo from factory and shoot for like 250 wheel i think would be exactly what you want

Ek9 looks awsome! Such an iconic timeless classic. As for being slow, It will be compared to the boosted big BHP cars you have owned.

eg si's are 2400. ctr should be around there too since they come factory with so sound dendining and lighter windows

I think we need to see an NSX or 2 on the channel. Would love to see a sick nsx build from you

Seeing Tommy and Sonic come together might be the greatest thing ever for the car community lol

JUST finished the first drive video, perfect timing!

I say leave the SI alone. It’s super clean how it is and a great starting canvas for someone to do what they want to it.

Supercharger has to go in the Si. The Type R deserves to stay stock.

Dang it Man you keep buying my Dream cars 😜😁 I love it man , so stoked and happy for you. Holy crap dudes ITR with the whipplesnapper is so loud and awesome, you should definitely put one on the civic , it will bring that thing to life , I love the powerband on a supercharged honda its consistent power and torque from the low rpm to high makes it so fun to drive and so quick on the streets no turbo lag at all just instant fun and all the cool noises . So I say buy one yesterday. 🤘😎🤘

When he said "You and I are in a CTR" it HIT MY FEELS HARD AHAHAHA

I’ve got a k swap ek and it’s so reliable and balanced, perfect for track use and done 10k miles since may using it daily

My mate put a 98 spec type r in his type r ek and that thing was a low-key monster kept up with sti and rb25dets

It would be cool to see a VVL Primera in the future. Love the Hondas though

You need to read the ek9 Brochure .the whole thing has no seam sealer and it's welded stiff .it's lighter for sure than the eg

Glad to be seeing more content come out quickly, good job Tom

The ek9 was never meant to be road fast, but in the right hands on track, could be made to be fast, it handles like nothing else, turns unbelievably and the art of driving the car quick on track is keeping it in that v-tec and that’s where the driver comes in. 😁

Eg hatch needs the Jackson setup definitely worth it especially if you tune it on E85.

Wow that's a real minter EK9 and what mods it has are nice. The interior is mint. Can't get over the great condition of the Recaros. Nice one and congrats on finally getting your dream Civic. 😁They're going for a pretty penny these days. I would say though, having a fair few miles in both a EK9 R and DC2(JDM) the DC2 is definitely the quicker of the two. The EK is seam welded in places, the DC2 isn't contrary to interwebs lore. Both have the LSD and damn near identical everything else. Maybe the USDM Acura R because of slightly lower powered engines is the difference? Fantastic handling is on a par. The dry weight isn't so different either, at least on the JDM ones(depending on the option deletes). The EK9 is more frenetic as you really have to row the gears to get it moving because of the 200cc fewer ponies. Tthe best example of an EK9 I drove was completely standard/stock, but had a B18c instead of the B16. Instantly noticable difference. It was a factory yellow one too. Rare as rocking horse droppings.

You better bring the ITR to limerock. Also seeing how the top dawg civic compares to the base model gray civic would be cool

So sick! I just picked up my b16a today for my EK

I got into these a few days ago and now i really want one. I already know its the right decision. Ima do it when i find the right one. Just a chill daily for me but aint gonna see but 10k mi a yr if that.

Bro all this Honda content lovin it

B16b in the Ek9 is pretty much the same motor as the b18c. B16b blocks are the same length as b18c as with the other b16 they are concerned “short blocks”. The Ek9 should do pretty well up against the eg

Good thing about the CTR is that it has an LSD The EG with B16 is an open diff setup. Plus CTR is more powerful and has better gear ratios Both great but if you want top performance at the track I’d go CTR in the current setups

If you're going supercharged, might as well utilize modern tech and op for the kraftwerks kit. More reliable, more power and easier to service if/ when necessary.

Agreed. There is another supercharger as well. It came as a factory option and mounts in the front.

Super rad. Wish I lived in ct still. Would love to visit the shop.

Love the ek9, showing (sonic203) some love visiting his shop!

I made 181whp intake mani, tb, header, tune..un opened b16a3..I see you met sonic..shoulda went for a ride in the all motor car

Man I love the 90’s Honda’s they are just so good!

Do the Jackson charger you won't regret it. I had one on my minime swap loved it til I sold the car 2 yrs later.

There is an old Best Motoring with the Spoon EG vs the stock EK9. The EK9 dominated.

Great to see the Honda content! Keep it up

Jackson racing supercharger is a good idea... Just, why not to build another Honda? but this one ultra modified 🤔 Hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Subbed 👍🥳 Your the normal person from rudniks channel didn't know you were on youtube till now 😆

Loving Honda boy Tommy, bringing it back in true fyeah spec!

The eg is like 2100lbs and the ek9 is around 2400lbs I believe. I had an itr swapped ek and man did that thing rip! Was tons of fun

Tommy is becoming the JDM space god, With the sickest line up of cars. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Omg this and when it’s able to be imported the FD2 TYPE R

I know you want a Gen 2 NSX and everything but we're getting to the point where you need a NSX Type-R or S-Zero in the fleet.

Congrats on the car… that guy that’s driving the itr is my favorite street racer hands down that guy is a absolute driver 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My ek9 was a beast from a line , full bolt on , would surprise many people ! Dope

Loving the Honda content. Takes me back bro!

Can’t wait to see this and the EG at Limerock! Would be sick to do runs in the Del Sol with it.

The Honda content is fire🔥 Congrats on the CTR

Tommy you need to experience a real built turbo Honda, 600+ fwd is insane, my car spins a 23.5” street radial to 100mph but pulls the whole way there

High compression engine build with Toda ITBs would be sick for ek9

EK9 Type R is my favorite Honda love the content keep it up

Isnt there an all wheel drive kit you can get it be nice with the charger on ot

Tommy really taking advantage of having a master Honda tech hell ya

The jackson supercharger is cool. It heat soaks and doesn't make a ton of power. For 5k just not worth the cost.
