[@AgneDei]

If you swap the engine in the EG for something proper, and do all the supporting mods that you've mentioned I really wouldn't be surprised if it got faster than the new Type R on the track due to the massive weight difference, and potentially lower center of gravity on the EG.

@@willy_akino It's all tongue and cheek, or its all for fun. BUT a true comparison would be interesting. Almost any new stock civic already out competes a performance model from the past. But the most important factor with these old EF, EG, EK chassis was weight and double wish bone suspension. The combination of those two made these cars go carts.

If you took HALF the price of the Civic Type R, and invested it into an EG or EK, you could have a car that is literally better in almost every way than the new Civic Type R. You could buy top of the line suspension and drivetrain components(AWD), make well over 500whp, and also choose to make the car comfortable on top of it too if you wanted. Like me, I had my entire dc5 professionally sound-deadened and have electric AC and PS so the car makes 600whp, is AWD, and is as comfortable as can be.

I am sure the new type r look will keep growing on me more, I prefer it in most ways to the previous gen except maybe the front.

I liked the larger corner bumper areas more on the previous gen, but all in all this one is nice and improved in a lot of ways (like the wing).

The big difference between the two is the longevity and ease of maintenance. I would expect the 90's civic to last a lot longer than the new one. Parts are going to be super easy to come by and a lot easier to work on. Everything about the older civic and many older vehicles in general is that they are extremely easy to work on. We rebuilt the rear end of our F350 after an axle broke. Recently replaced the steering gearbox and so many other repairs to it.

[@matthewwillis2135]

You’d be surprised how easy the new civic is to work on and how reliable

[@KnownDude222]

That new civic still has that Honda reliability behind it, when you've been making motors for that long you're not suddenly going to make stinkers because times changed. Maintenance will likely be the same with focus on the oil and coolant, as always, parts I do agree will be more expensive when they do break but probably more due to the type r being a purpose built vs the EG being the grocery getter economy of the 90s.

I seriously doubt any of these electronic cars today will even be drivable 30 years from the purchase date.

You guys should take the EG hatch, strip it out completely, add racing seats and a roll cage, add new wheels/brakes/suspension and swap in a K24. Make it a full time attack race car with crazy aero and a halltech dash!

[@leansnscenes7806]

So... exactly what every other car youtube channel does?

[@JRDNCAT]

@@leansnscenes7806 Yup!

[@TheHtown123]

I love that when Nolan was test driving, his voiced changed into Bane's! "You merely adopted the EG!"

[@suryap.1641]

I think it would be really cool to have a series where Nolan does more track events/autocross to see his progress. His driving seems to be improving a lot!

[@rencevillanueva5744]

More episode for the EG give it some love it deserves! MONEY PIT NEW SERIES everyone?!

[@robynb1125]

You guys should make a series on restoring a car to its original condition with that EG, would make one hell of a series seeing you guys take that 400K mile Civic and getting it to look and drive like brand new!

[@ahmedasher8341]

adding some tasteful mods too would be better than just factory condition (some nice rims and coilovers)

[@badgerlord5390]

i had almost that exact idea; they 100% need to do it

[@Fasteddiebreakshearts]

🏁🏁The 9 sec Civic EG series coming January 2023 😎🤙🏾

[@andy_lincoln]

This episode reminded me of some of the early Top Gear revival episodes from the mid aughts in the best way. I love these sort of comparison reviews. Nice job Nolan and team.

[@matthewbaron8449]

You should really do a series where you upgrade the cheap civic to compete against the expensive civic on track

[@rhouser1280]

30yrs from now: We bought this $500 2023 type R, does more expensive mean more better?

[@johnwitt112]

That little hatchback definitely deserves some upgrades!

[@wolfpack_airsoft7781]

The fact that you found one $500 running even if it’s salvaged blew my mind this made me miss the 2 egs that I used to own

[@Fielder5757]

They should put $45,000 into the EG, then have it go up against the 50K new type R and see if you can build a better civic for the money.

[@michaelcanez6940]

@@Fielder5757 that literally sounds a waste of money.

[@ront5689]

Man, new suspension, bushings, a strut bar maybe, tyres, brakes and a basic oil change etc will make that eg so fun lol.

[@mikeymofo]

Those old civics can do wicked things with some cash dropped in it , doing a hi / low car with 2 civics would be good.. Great content as usual guys keep it up. 😄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@micahv9365]

Honestly one of my top 10 favorite videos from Donut. Such a simple concept, but so much fun as well.

[@refreshing_ac6371]

Great video! This makes me want to go out and find a cheap old Civic to fool around with 👀 I’m excited for what you all have planned for the EG, a lot of possibilities and improvements to be made! 😂

[@drippingwax]

I have a 2000 Civic and a 2002--and a 1999 Accord. None of them run. I really need to do something about that!

[@bogins5796]

i love to see the Eg hatch with the nice touch of donut and i can see Nolan gonna be really go nuts with that

[@tobothehobo]

I'd love to see a series where you try to get the eg as fast on track as the new type r. And see how much it costs to get you there.

[@gebus26]

I wanna see that civic done up.. would be a sick hi/low.. there's sooooo many parts available.. and would work great with ur ebay sponsorship

[@ToTheGallows]

a revival of Money Pit would be awesome with the civic too

[@davidashworth1985]

Love the EG Civic! Would love to see a restoration series similar to the Money Pit Miata!

[@Aguynamedhogan]

Man the only thing that kept me from getting a new Civic Sport Touring was the price. It was almost 40K for a Civic. They have a killer look and feel but there’s no way I could afford that

[@boothrecords8222]

Would definitely like to see a high n low parts build

[@feckyerlife]

Lol I would love too see Nolan getting mad after having to wire up vtec

[@arxum]

Can we a video series about Nolan’s evolution into a competitive driver? The dude is growing as a driver and I would love to see what he does to improve his lap times.

[@imromano2448]

He does a lot of sim racing, autocross and track days. Practice makes it perfect. But I agree, I would love to see a video of Nolan showing his practice

[@OnlyDadsOG]

Nolan has been getting tons of screen time and i love it. best track driver and great on camera personality. as a 38 yo man, i would love to see more of the $500 civic.

[@DonaldMolter]

It would be sick to bring the power up to about 325hp on the EG, new suspension, wheels and tires, brakes, and a proper seat and steering wheel and run it again against the type r.

[@gorbdonfreeming]

Needs to be the next money pit car for sure, or a new series like someone else in the comments said: built vs bought

[@perrystout3651]

A series on building the EG for the track would be pretty cool.

[@ckkfn2]

Definitely money pit or high vs low with the eg! Be good to compare a cheap B swap with an expensive k swap. Even though b swaps might be more expensive now 🤣

[@bagrins.a.4715]

I would like to have a series of restauring and modifiying this lovely car

[@John-mj8uo]

This was definitely great I grew up wrenching on the eg hatch platform and being that it’s a cx you have the weight to your advantage. Even putting in a different ratio transmission from a ex/si d series makes that little 8v fun but ultimately would be cool to see it upgraded in a way that keeps costs to a minimum to see if you could modify it in a way to suite your needs and wants out of it… one way would be using parts from different models but are bolt in upgrades (integra seats have decent bolstering, delsol makes you sit lower ) so many options with this era of Honda you can basically Lego a build

[@Millwright4life]

I have that exact same Civic 95 hatchback but in color blue. I can definitely say it is a fun car to drive hands down 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. I wanna see you guys modify that EG 😊

[@marvinjudegorospe8181]

Back in the 90's, one of my friends owned one of those EGs and he loaded it up with good stuffs and changed the muffler. He also got it tuned to higher power. I say that car is really fun to drive at stock and a better one when tuned and makes a good sound, too. If you guys can make video or 2 of its transformation, that would be great...

[@Lil.Yahmeaner]

Bro if you actually got that Type-R for $50k then y’all are wizards, I’ve seen dealers marking them up to $80k
