    All these other youtubers with immaculate units, brand new lifts and shiny rubber floors, yet you're there, car on bricks, no flashy equipment, putting out PROPER QUALITY videos and some of the best workmanship I've ever seen. This is some truly impressive stuff. Also, not having to wait 3 months to see one car seat installed is really refreshing. A whole car rebuild in one episode. Amazing

    Well done saving this car. I personally imported a 1997 black EK9 from Japan to UK back in 1999/2000. Think it was the first black one in the UK at the time. Reg was R690 KVV. Cost me close to £14k by the time I got it on the road. A lot of money for a car like that back then. Absolutely loved it. Eventually sold it to a young US serviceman from Molesworth airbase. He had it a few years then sold it back to one of my best mates. He kept it for a few years then sold it to a lad from Ireland who took it back there. Don’t know what happened to it after that but hopefully its still about. I’ve had loads of cars since then but the EK9 is still one of my favourites. Amazed at the prices they command these days.

    God bless you sir for saving this beautiful EK9 Type R. I've been wanting to own one of these my entire life. The closest I got was an EG6 with an Integra Type R engine and transmission. It was my favorite car that I've ever owned. Perfectly reliable and quick for what it was. I owned it and took great care of it for over 10 years and never let it get a single spot of rust. I never put a turbocharger or supercharger on it, so the best I was able to get was 180 horsepower at the wheels in N/A trim after some bolt on performance parts and weight savings. Still, it was great power for such a light car. I still miss that car to this day. The guy I sold it to for $6,000 ruined it in less than a month. First thing he did was rip the engine out to sell it and get most of his money back, and he put in a $400 B20 engine from a CRV. I think he meant to do a B20 Vtec with a B16 head, but it never happened. He tried to drive the car throughout the winter and quickly wrecked it in less than a month. It really upset me to see the car completely ruined in under 30 days after I spent over 10 years taking good care of it, swapping in the B18c and LSD transmission, upgrading the intake manifold to the Skunk 2 Ultra with port matched 67mm throttle body, all new hasport motor and transmission mounts, whiteline sway bars and end links, 5 lug conversion with brand new hubs and brakes front and rear from an Integra Type R, body work and new paint when I first got it, 2.75 inch exhaust from the headers back. I had the car tuned on a hondata S300 I had installed into the P28 Computer. You did a wonderful job restoring your rescued EK Civic Type R. I'm glad it was you that found it and saved it from becoming complete piece of scrap to be crushed. Extremely good restoration.

I know a Ph.D in physics and acoustics man, who still owns his track ready turbocharged Acura Type R - it's pretty much mint, accept for the track mileage. They even welded custom full exhaust based on program for Nascar cars. He also owns the original NSX.

I love my DB8, but an EG6 with an ITR B18C swap is like my dream car. I will always have a soft spot for the EG6; and honestly, none of the Type Rs I have owned have ever resonated with me the way the EG6 has.

    The thing I love most about your restorations is that you do a really nice job, without being a perfectionist. A "good enough" job - and I mean that as a compliment. It reminds me that restoring my 98 hatcback is an attainable goal if I just want it to look good and enjoyavle again, without the expense and time of a "perfect" restoration. Love it man, thank you!

    Civic Type-R is one of my favorite cars, no matter the year. What you did with this one, was pure art. It's so good to see people with the know how, restoring "old" things that should be kept in good shape. 80's and 90's in my opinion were the best decades for car lovers and enthusiast, shame people that had one of these, in most cases don't give them the value they deserve in my opinion, they end like the one you restored. Last thing, you did all that without a lift, which would surely help a lot, my respect to you man.

All 4 tires were seized as it was pulled onto the trailer. It takes incredibly hard work, I'm about a year and a half in now, still going. Rare car, even rarer year, even rarer color. It has to be worth it in the long run. 272k miles, sat 13 years, after i did the fuel lines, pump, gas tank it started up lol.
