1994 Honda Civic: Decade Build!

Hello everyone,
In this episode we bring you an awesome builder and build. We bring you John and his awesome civic coupe. This is the project that we like on the channel as we understand that it takes a long time to build a clean car. I love the fact that he was able to keep his first build alive by swapping things over to the new chassis. I appreciate the feedback he provides for other builders. Thank you John and everyone who spends their valuable time to show support. #automotiveanatomy

Clean build.This episode touched home.When I met my late wife, she had just bought a year earlier a 1994 Civic Sedan DX 5MT in THIS color.I never knew rhe name of it, now I do.When I build my 94.sedan THIS is the color it will be.Her 1994 lasted 250+ miles on the OEM clutch, no slip when she sold it.Miss you JML❤!!

[@oregonfelder1]

Love the stance. So nice to see a Honda that isn’t tucking tires and has the classic lowered look. Great build and cherry Civic.

[@Bdiddy714]

Man clean build, i would swap out the dash panel for a black one it would make the interior pop that much more

[@blingbody]

Hatches are dope. But I'm loving this coupe

[@michaelanderson8714]

A 94 Civic Ex Cpe 5MT in Camellia Red Pearl was my 1st new car. I kept it for 24 years until I got into an accident and the insurance company wrote it off as a total loss. They said the repair cost was more than it was worth. If I had a place to store it, I would've bought it from the insurance company. I could've finally made it a project car. All it needed was a hood, bumper and core support, left headlight, washer fluid bottle, windshield and airbags. It had H&R springs with KYB adjustable shocks, Neuspeed front tower strut bar, Iceman cold air intake, Magnaflow catback exhaust, aftermarket wheels and sound system. I wanted to do a B18C5 ITR motor swap but every time I drove it and that VTEC kicked in, it made me smile. I couldn't justify pulling the motor. Plus it was still on the original clutch and transmission oil and it still shifted like new. With 155K miles on it, they wrote me a check for $2500.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Im glad you were okay from that accident.

[@notone4029]

PATIENCE is ALWAYS key when doing a Quality build like THIS! Thought my build was taking TOO long on my EG hatch of 5 years. (Because of ground up build) THIS guy of 10 years, makes me feel more hopeful on the build timespan.

[@DJV94022]

Ive owned mine since 2012 and its been a project since my ef was down from 2012-2020 i got it running threw covid since they was making people stay home and i just need to paint it buy some wheels and call it quits 🤷‍♂️

[@petrolhead8851]

Same here! I got the same color coupe as this guy, had the shell repainted the oem camelia red pearl and it’s been sitting as a shell for 3yrs now lol, have most of the engine put together but still missing a couple things, it’s full drag cartel k24/20 with 12:5.1 cp pistons high compression build std sized eagle rods, ac bearings, arp everything, dc 3.2 cams, ferrea flat valves, supertech springs, drag cartel heavy duty chain, drag cartel billet chain guides, drag cartel billet timing chain cover, drag cartel adjustable cam gears, drag cartel valve cover, moroso oil pan, Myers big tube header, drag cartel 67mm itb’s etc.. hoping to make over 300+whp n/a on e85…the car still needs front and rear fcs brakes and suspension, along with a fcs fuel system, might go with an awd rear end set up for future changes when I decide to go k-series turbo awd

[@chaseteter]

Oh yeah and I’m sure you guys call your USDM 92-95 hatches ‘EH’. Did you know the US never got an eg hatch? Being a chassis code cop would be exhausting and pedantic.

[@jimmylee2745]

Real talk man. I had this prelude I build through out high school. Didn't know shit abt cars bought a cheap prelude but then found all these hidden nasty rust spots. Still loved it but sold it because the rust work alone was gonna be too much . Bought a newer one , white , sh manual model . Man I was in love. Was balling on a budget so the. Mugen parts were u know...lol. did the full mugen kit loud exhasut , re spray some pearl over the white. Had the car for a long time maybe 10 years, baby it never seen snow or rain. I wanted it to be faster but matter what I re search making the car faster wasn't feasible and reliable at the time . Everyone told me it was to start with better platform and go from there, so I did . Didn't miss the prelude until c void and watching all your videos, males me miss all those old 90s Hondas and integras. Had a long talk with the wife and since older, have more mechanical knowledge working on cars, the hondanganenis so different now, and making power is alot cheaper and easier then before. all the wife said is , don't care what u do but it have to be on a budget lol. So here I am searching for a 90s integra DA or DC2. All these guys you interviewed are inspiring, patient and all ended up building clean cars . My plan is just build something clean, keep it oem plus exterior nothing crazy with new modern bits interior wise for comfort.

MUCH BLESSINGS ON YOUR JOURNEY 🙏🏾🧿🧘🏾‍♂️💪🏾

Beautiful car. I've been "liking" his posts on Instagram for a while now. Just now seeing this video.

I love Jon's build. Super clean, super simple. Interior definitely on point and my favorite part. Build's like this make me want to tone down my hatchback and give it a more simple look.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

We love your hatch the way it is 👍 but the clean and simple look reminds me of your old coupe Izzy

How about them Civics 🎉

[@PhamVans]

Super clean. The B series in general are definitely some of the most reliable engines in the world. Although having gone in to the domestic world now, that generation of JDM in particular will always be with me. 👍

as a fellow camellia red owner i get a lot of questions about the color and why i painted it that way, most of them are the surprised when i tell them its oem also this video doesn't help me go a more track focused direction 😂 kinda like the oem+ look more, keep it simple

California. The last American trove of clean 90s Civics. Credit the perfect storm of weather and culture for this. A vacation to anywhere from SD to Bay Area will blow your mind with the amount of clean older Hondas still doing work! Even more wild is the amount of mini trucks still doing ACTUAL work. Early 80s Toyotas and hard bodies and the occasional Ford LUV driving around with tools in the bed looking good enough for a photo shoot. It’s nuts. Cali is special.
