My 2002 Civic was the first really nice car I ever purchased back in 2007 and I am still enjoying and missing it to this day, it actually became the basis for my KZread Channel. The 7th gens are easily overlooked when compared to 6th and 8th Gens but they are truly great little cars and easy to mod.

I just love the look of the old Civics. I've had 3 Civics over the years. A 94, 99 and a 2004. I loved them all, especially my 94.

My first car was a 2001’ Honda Civic lx that I bought outright for like 17K with money I saved while serving in the Marines from 1998-2002. At the time I didn’t know how to drive a manual transmission so I had to get the auto. Regardless, that 2001’ Civic was great and extremely good on gas! Found memories whenever I see them still on the road today, speaks to how well they’re built. My current ride is a 2021’ Mazda MX-5 6MT Club w/ Brembo / BBS / Recaro package which I’m still blown away by a year later. Would’ve gotten an Honda S2K back when Honda still made them up til ~ 2009’ but they were a bit out of my price range back then.

I appreciate more people giving the em2 civic some love. It’s not a crazy car but it’s fun and I’d say good for beginners (including myself)

This is that good stuff, restoring and lightly modding basic cars. I love it

Great refresh build guys! Civic looks new again. Perfect for budget that don't costs a whole arm and leg.

That front end of the car is just absolutely amazing!

My friend bought one of these when we got out of high school. His first new car. Loved the civic

Man that video work of the completed car is like a time machine back to the early 2000's, nostalgic AF

Love these short simple builds. Lots of fun and reminds me of simpler times.

Nice work boys! Motivated me to clean up my little 05 Civic Coupe commuter.

I have a 2001 EX that I dropped a K20A1 w/LSD into it with rear conversion to disc brakes, plus all the bolt-on's. Now that the Tein coilovers, bushings, and sway bars have been replaced it rides so nice.

Clay bar adds marring to the paint surface, which means more polishing is needed to correct it. It’s better to chemically remove as much contamination as possible before touching the paint with mechanical decontamination. That helps minimize the amount of marring and scratching added during the decon process.

@jordanjohnson5784

@@Patrick94GSR Yes, but they did a 1 step correction anyways. It wouldn't have caused any additional polishing. The marring it causes is pretty minimal, especially considering the state of the finish on this car. It was jacked.

Have exactly the same fiji blue civic except with a 5 spd. Bought it new in 05. It's got 60K on it now. That suspension set up and stance is such an improvement over stock, gonna look at doing that - thanks for the inspiration !

Kind of late to the game, but this series struck home for me. I had an 02 EX on Sportlines, Tokico Blues, and Neuspeed upper strut bar. Best handling car I’ve ever had. This car felt like it was on rails. It was slow for sure, but still super fun to drive.

" Holy, it is.... ssslow."

I loved this series so much. Love that car! Great job fellas! I would drive that bad boy daily no problem.

Really cool budget build! The body color is stunning too, it aged well and keeps the car looking modern! The only thing I would have done differently is added black side skirt extensions and black rear mud guards to keep the black lines continuous from front to back.
