B18C 1978 Honda Civic: First Love

Hello Everyone,
In this episode we have Juan and his 1st gen Civic. He has owned the vehicle for 20 years. Yes! 20 years wow! He has gone through many changes. Many motor swaps, paint jobs and wheel setups. However, he has done an amazing job in keeping the vehicle looking clean as possible. He has done major small details. Details that only 1st gen Civic owners would know. Thus, it was fun learning about the changes he has made to this point. Hope you guys enjoy the walk around of outside and in the future video we will learn the guts and interior of this amazing civic. Thank you for the support!

Love it, my dad had one when I was a kid so many great memories 💪💪💪

[@apquattro]

I rarely ever comment on videos...but this car deserves one. As an "elder" builder this is more my style. Kudos to the owner!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thank you Al. Thats what the channel is all about.

[@ef_danielsan]

this might be my favorite civic ever.

[@RobertJToledo]

Cooler than any new Type R Civic!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Agreed!!!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Hello everyone, thank you for the support. I have no idea why all them glitches. It is really disappointing. I have not done anything different than previous videos. I am not sure what the next step will be. It is not fair for the owners nor you guys. When I edit there is no glitches at all.

[@hemerhernandez1234]

what suspension are you running?

[@GA08GT478]

Very cool that he has hung onto it for so long.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

20 plus more to go. We need to save this older classics

[@chriscourson2824]

My Dad had a 1976 and 1978, very good cars!

[@byronlee6372]

Had a brown one in 87 "THE BROWNIE" it had the 1500 and a 120 speedo, she used to get 107. I fished alot back then, they are better than bugs offloading.Great cars!! Im a Ford Truck guy, its hard to say but, the Japanese build one hell of a automobile.

I've owned my Civic for 20 years too but it's because I can't afford to buy a car!!! She is the best car I've ever owned! I'm thinking of restoring it for my daughter!!! Beautiful car yours is!!!!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

20burs of ownership isnt just bc you cant afford a new car. Its sentimental value. Yes, restore it for your lil girl!

[@tatialo37]

Yvette Moreno that too! That car is my buddy!!!! I'll never sell her!!!!

civics rock. i got a 9th gen civic in 2014 at the lowest LX tier and the damn thing has every little feature you could ever want. they really think the car through.

[@cia4915]

I love these old Honda's I have owned few. Honda civic 1981 2 door hatch and a Honda civic 4 door hatch and it was a 81. I also had a Honda accord 2 door hatch back it was 1982. I owned the Honda accord 4 door trunk 82. I owned the Honda civic 2 door hatch 1978 and I loved them all. My favorite was my Honda civic 2 door hatch 1978 cvcc engine.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

WOW Jim. You seem to like old school stuff. I am glad you enjoyed the video man.

I used to be on that 1stGenCivic forum! I bought a Weber carb off a dude there. I also did the 4x100 conversion, had 92 Civic front brakes, Enkei wheels, Bilstein shocks etc etc

Back when forums were useful. it is sad that they went away bc social media is faster and easier to handle.

[@russiapedarussia]

This is a real love! Perfect vehicle.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Agreed!

These already fun to drive as stock standard - this would be just a an absolute blast to get behind the wheel ;)

My dad has a car like this. But only, its a right seated and a B16A engine. Its really light-weighted. Just got it out from the workshop. Has a R888 toyo tires, watanabe racing rims rim size: 15, 14 maybe? I dont quite remember. It was his family car that he changed from an old slow civic. To a demon.

Do you travel across the country to do your videos? Or are you based in a state? Video glitches could be KZbin compression or your systems driver or possibly a virus but not likely.

Its all within Southern California area. I drive prob the farthest was 2hrs man. It might be the youtube and my software. It's really disappointing.

@@Kidnks those are the big boys man lol not as easy to interview them. I would be honored to interview them but at the moment highlighting "regular joeys" that put in budget builds is the channels focus. Joey no longer has the oddyssey and as much I love the orange ITR and bisi wagon they are not budget builds that the channel aims at. But it doesnt mean I wouldnt mind working on a ptoject with them in the future.
