Watching you drive makes me realize how bad I still am at manual. Love the DX and love the tasteful build. Too many people just build the car for the straights and ignore proper suspension, chassis reenforcement, and other supporting components of the car.

AWESOME I have a 93 del sol got at the beginning of this year and have only done very easy suspensions mods such as skunk 2 front UCA, skunk 2Rear LCA, skunk 2 coilovers and a skunk 2 exhaust. Recently bought parts to convert the steering wheel I currently have and put on an integra type r DC5 steering wheel which is slightly smaller but will be a bit more complicated than a QR wheel. Really nice video and cool wheel you got there. Excited to see what you do next!

really appreciate it! congrats on the 1 year ownership of the sol. sounds like it’ll turn on a dime with the skunk2 goodies. happy for you bro

yesss put a turbo on it! we need more single cam saviors! just careful not to push too much boost, i think the d16s are only really good for mid to low 200 hp so i’d keep it below 8psi as long as your engine’s all healthy, i haven’t gone over 10psi in my r18 to keep things safe. one thing to note with small low boost turbos, you’re gonna want to swap out the wastegate actuator for a lighter one and it’s always a good idea to port your wastegate, i did it on mine, helps with consistency and boost creep

To be honest I thought Civics were a pain to work on but this guy makes it look easy.

A good idea also is to go all out first with the d-series with all the internal upgrades and stuff before changing to a K series maybe in the future. At the end of the day for sure you want to entertain us viewers. And that would be a great series to look forward to I guess👌 keep it up! Love your content 🤙

you could run ex spindles/brakes with HX wheels but you'll need a 5mm spacer. 96-00 civic EX brakes are the same as EM1 brakes.

You should get a black dash mat, would make your interior looks that bit better

good eye! its from Blox Racing. I’ll have some upcoming stuff on some of their products on the EK

So of regards of the Honda steering wheel and how the outer grip just isn’t connected to the metal structure on the inside. At first I never knew that existed but a buddy of mine showed me his old civic about a year ago and his steering wheel did the same and thing so I know what it feels like 😂. I think that might be a common Honda thing

A detachable steering wheel will do nothing to stop your car from being stolen. Vice grips come in many sizes one that would clamp right over that lock allowing you to turn the wheel

A d-Series rebuild would be stupid but would bring amazing horsepower numbers (my personal opinion is that a car should have an original engine with mods)❤❤

I feel maybe next vid on the EK is a harness upgrade?

turbo and K is very common. Perhaps try EV conversion? My 95 Civic Coupe EX has 14" wheels and disc brakes with ABS so it should fit yours.

​ @bendaga my EX has factory 14" steel wheels with covers and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS. So if you find a EX at the junk yard, it should fit your car. if you go with Integra you may have to up the wheel size to 15" and larger.

Why would you turbo a civic, it is definitely a North American thing! A B18 engine is perfect for the ek shell. B18 engine would not be as expensive as a k20 engine but you will get great performance from a b18 engine because the ek shell is light
