Pop-up video style made me so nostalgic ahah love this.

we have a very very similar story. my dad surprised me with my 04 civic EX for 200$. my dad is a landscaper and we have happened to live near a college. he was mowing a professors yard. the prof approached my dad and asked him if he wanted 200$ for it bc his daughter had bought a newer car. it has 170k miles on it and it’s never had any problems, and it’s completely stock. first mod i plan on doing is adding a dual exhaust tip

Love the series so far. I have a few suggestions. 1. I’d love to have a longer rundown on the condition of the car before so like driving it and more commentary on how it feels just so that for someone like me who sees the before and after I can hear your commentary on the difference. 2. Maybe when you are installing some of the changes for the car you can put some more footage on how you did it so I can learn some more about it. Overall great and can’t wait to watch some more.

Every time I see under one of your new projects I am so happy I don't live in a salted road area. That rust is killer.

Idk Dorman makes plenty of products that fix known issues on the oem parts. And their LS truck intake is nearly a direct copy of the fast intake with a 3 bolt throttle body flange instead of the 4 bolt on the fast.

Yonaka is a go to budget/subtle Honda system. I had one on my old integra and it was subtle and hardly noticeable in most situations.

Thats a cool heat trick, thanks for showing.

With the manifold bolts, thread the bolt back and forth. It will clean the threads and I’ve never broken any seized bolt doing that. I work on diesels and DPFs using that trick. Those things get mega hot.

I think this is the first time I've heard Doorman and quality in the same sentence.

I love the daily driver mod videos. So fun to watch, and inspiring because these mods are something I can even do.
