People need to understand the value of these builds. Money can never buy driving skills.

[@crazybeanery0]

Hello everyone! It’s nice to see my old car getting a little bit of limelight in the hands of its new owner. I’m glad that it went to a great home and is still being taken to the track to serve as a dual-purpose car as I had intended it to be. For anyone that is familiar with the tracks in SoCal, here is a list of my best times that I was able to achieve with this car (for the ones interested, you can find a few in-car videos on my KZbin channel 🍻): •ACS Infield - 1:20.129 (9/23/17) •Big Willow - 1:39.48 (12/16/17) •BW CW13 - 2:07.337 (12/3/17) •CVR CW - 2:12.303 (4/8/17) •SOW CW - 1:30.895 (10/8/16) •SOW CCW - 1:31.631 (8/19/17)

My initial reaction was "Why would anybody ever drive that?" His answer was really deep and I think we can all learn from this, if we're being honest.

[@TheSmokingTire]

100%. If I had thought like him 10 or 15 years ago, I'd be a better driver today.

[@tagrav]

try a 92-95 era civic sometime, they are scary good drivers cars, extremely reliable, parts are extremely cheap. you can drive it flat out and not be freaking out of cops or endangering crowds. many smiles per gallon to be had. easily my favorite car I've ever owned was a 92 ex coupe and I'm currently driving a AP2

[@ivankitts6726]

is this matt or zack replying now?

[@Mustlehard]

they weigh like 2200 and you can get 200 hp out of them for like 4000.. including the price of the car

[@Cursalock]

Definitely. Everyone's arguing over cars that are separated by 5 seconds at the Nurburgring when 99% of us can't take these sports and hypercars to even 7/10ths the limit. Stuff like this (and Miata, of course) can teach you a lot about how cars work and behave at the limit.

[@MumbleVlogs]

love seeing people who build a car to drive and enjoy and not to worried about it having the fastest thing on there.

[@aireworkz929]

Mumble although this one is already came moded. Lol guy didn't built it.b

[@metalcomposition]

I have the automatic, sold in South Africa as the name "Ballade", for marketing reasons. When you have everything in tact and serviced, it's a high class vehicle which steers excellently, holds well and accelerates well.

[@GGprods-o2x]

This guy gets it...... When I was younger went from boosted to boosted builds, from bmw to subie to rb25s....... About five years back I got a 1969 karmann ghia, it thought me that my whole life I had depended on my cars to make me fast. The ghia forced me to become a better driver, few years later got an MKii Jetta carat, NOW THAT car thought me how to really drive. Recently modded up the mkii, made it a carburated conversion on the 8v with a built head and cam. The went to town on suspension. The Mkii is funner than any of my old high value high power cars.......... Driver mod development > everything else.

Always learn to drive before you go fast otherwise you'll be in a KZbin compilation.

[@adamelmachkour2506]

Except i wouldnt drive a geo metro or a ford taurus at high speeds. Hondas are the king of FWD and have proven to beat cars like the MR2 (around a track) with such little mods.

[@owenp7644]

Woah it’s a little strange without Matt but I still love the concept of one takes so i’m quite happy still

[@SIRICKO]

[@jareknowak8712]

Bob Barker yes, in fact it does feel strange as hell :) , but we have to give Zack and us a little time. It will be good.

[@WWMMWWWMMMWWWWMMMM]

Matt isn’t going to waste his time with this rice shit.

[@Shadowboost]

7 seconds more to shave off at the track. Absolutely the right car to learn on. And power is so easy to add to Civics to get faster once you get to higher levels

[@dawsonjohannes613]

What a great guy. It is so nice to see a guy in the Honda community who isn't obnoxious and actually knows his stuff. Makes me proud to have a modified Civic similar to this one.

[@ScorpioXXXL]

wait did you build this car?

[@BillyBob-rr8se]

Same dude! I’ve had a Coyote Mustang, Supercharged FRS, C5 Z06 etc, and my B18C type R swapped CRX has been by far my most favorite. Some people don’t realize that you don’t need 1000whp to have fun in a car. Sometimes a great handling, short geared, sub 200hp car is all you need to put a smile on your face. I think the Fiesta ST guys can attest to that too lol

[@JEDIwards]

Driving a slow car fast is so much more fun than driving a fast car slow. Good start Zack, this was pretty rad.

[@christinacarbonaro2358]

Jonathan Edwards ...ummm no. I would take any fast car and have more fun driving slow than any civic. Oxymoron=fast+civic

[@alexdufour1241]

Low power car are easy to drive fast

[@adamelmachkour2506]

Would you drive a geo metro or ford focus fast or even modify it? Probably not..hondas are race cars in disguise, i think we can agree other manufacturers havent created a similar FWD offering.

How's the on center steering?

[@theFailQuail]

of the car or the underwear?

[@vtr0104]

And how 'bout that turning radius, eh?

[@TheSmokingTire]

On center was pretty tight. I don't remember there being any slop. Hard to remember since it was a few weeks ago.

[@kevinatfms]

I died laughing at this one.

[@jockeleu]

Good one Zack! A suggestion is to try to keep it a bot shorter 10-12 min and keep the ”almost” 20 min ones saved for the really really special ones! ... Otherwise my morning dumps will be suspiciously long!

Yep, gonna work on that. Got caught up driving and talking. The long ones are called "Fiber Takes".

[@TheSmokingTire]

That same day, a 400WHP 340i showed up. The difference in speed and feel was great. Will move mic and turn up levels in my voice.

[@deancoronado4898]

This is how I approached my '93 Civic coupe. Engine mods are just an AEM CAI, and a used DC 4-2-1 header. Suspension was KYB AGX's paired with Ground Controls. A Cusco front upper strut tower bar also. I lowered the front about an inch lower than the rear to put more weight on the drive wheels. Stiffened the rear AGX's to 4, and fronts to 2. At 40 PSI on stock tires and wheels, there would be little understeer, and throttle on the turn would cause to the car to rotate amazingly and predictably. I knew my Civic was setup well when I lost this "crew" of three Type-R's repeatedly in the technical parts of a track, each lap. That, plus great braking and heel-toeing.

Am I the only Honda guy in the comments thinking that's just about the worst example of a modded Honda? The engine isn't an upgrade, it's a replacement. All the parts are very, very budget. And he bought it as is. That's a sub $1000 car in my area.

[@ptriq]

Nice car, good owner. if you guys wanna good yard stick to measure up too. Let a pro driver lap your at a track with you in it. When you get close to their best time. Now it's time to add power or switch to a more capable car.

[@johnsullivan937]

I think the car would have felt a lot faster if you were doing the drive by yourself. Nothing personal to the owner i actually really like the guy. Its just little cars like this seem to feel WAAAAY slower with an extra 170-200 pounds in the car per person. when I am rolling 3 deep in my celica it feels like it loses 50 hp

[@unuseableb]

Really reminds me of my opel vectra 2.0. You can really go all out on it and drive it like you hate it without doing 100 in 10 seconds lol. Fricking hate the sound tho but thats just my preference. Great to see the one takes come back!!! Zacks a good host

[@randomname839]

Sir you’re allowed to upshift. With that said, thanks for continuing this series.

[@shaft9000]

nice video, smart owner, and a classic Zack's one-liner: "led by the depreciation squad" :) my only suggestion is to get the mics in closer for your voices - Matt's booming voice overcame some of it before

[@ndgo7950]

Recently I bought a 4 door Eg from Sketch in a trailer park, and I can honestly say coming from my old Miata i really feel like I’m learning how to drive foreal (i learned manual on my Miata) The Miata was fun but I always felt like I was just driving some crazy loud go kart lol but the civic has taught me certain things that I never EVER would have been able to figure out in the Miata. After watching this video it’s given me a lot of confidence to just slow down and just work on the stock block for now. I live in Ga and the car scene here is pretty judgy so I always felt pressured to do a swap or go for boost 😂 But Thank you so much for the Tips. Hopefully mine looks as good as yours in the near future Maybe better?👀 Jkjk😂

[@BrennanMcKissick]

So glad to see the One Takes continuing with Zack. Also, this owner is awesome. He's got a great mindset. I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking about buying a car and building it just like this for a cheap but fun daily.

[@Epik-hm8ws]

So weird. The driver is now the small and thin guy next to the passenger. :-D Love it! Thank You Zack for taking the torch and going on with the fan cars :-)

[@humza4779]

but how's the turning radius?

[@elainewilliams9341]

Zack needs to shift more. He's gonna blow that thing up. It might like to rev, but not pegged there all day.

[@joshtradamus3921]

[@davidovercash9039]

What an awesome car! It looks and sounds great! Thanks for sharing this great build! I’ll bet most of your subs passed this episode up because the thumbnail looked boring. Too bad for them😩. I think the most fun car I ever had was my 2005 5-spd manual Civic LX Sedan. Or my 1972 MG Midget, or my 1969 VW Beetle. Well, you get my point!

[@fakealexstrong]

Sweet civic though. If you’re an enthusiast and don’t realize the goodness in an old Honda, well it’s just not for you lol. It’s ok to talk shit about Hondas to your Honda friends, but it’s all jokes because they’re actually awesome and have many different engines that are widely known and used/ swapped all the time!!!!

[@ajshingo4330]

Melvin's old sedan!

[@Bagger1978]

This same mantra applies with motorcycles as well. All too often I see guys go out and buy a 1000cc sport bike and think they are king shit until they get to a curve and a 600cc or less blows by them like they are standing still.. I always tell people start with the smallest bike you can comfortably fit on and go from there. Go slow to get smooth and once you are smooth you will be fast.

I respect the shit out of Matt’s hustle. That underwear is legit too.

[@gearheadgaming1537]

This really made me think, I’m 17 recently bought a mkvi GTI. I no longer am saving up for a new tune for my car but brakes suspension and track days. I drove my dads stock ‘09 civic for over a year so I became used to the lower power and love the current GTI but I obviously still have much to learn about driving

[@dlombana161]

Perfect place to start man, as you probably know by now the good old MKVI and actually all non PP equipped MKVIIs (this gets even more confusing for 2019) use a ABS-reliant eLSD. So if you can beef up those brakes you're addressing one of the main things that will keep you on track longer, cooling those poor overworked brakes. Before going down the rabbit hole of springs/coils look into some chassis bracing, a lot of the more trackday minded guys had good feedback on those. Don't feel too bad about the power difference between generations, later you can always get a reflash. Most say a 'Stage 1' MKVI feels about where a stock MKVII puts you on the power curve.

[@gearheadgaming1537]

D Lombana what break kits would your recommend? I know my pads burn up pretty fast due to my spirited driving style. Obviously I know of brembo but those seems so expensive. What would be an affordable, bang for the buck upgrade from the stock steel?

[@sansfreedom1629]

I too would like to know

[@antonpeterson1245]

Some stickier tyres will also help to.

[@dlombana161]

Bang for the buck would be some Hawk HPS pads with some Motul RBF600 fluid and like Anton Peterson mentioned, definitely some good performance summer tires. The better grip you have the less correcting you have to do with braking. I honestly think a big brake kit is overkill especially starting out. Also not sure how deep you want to dive into class based events but BBKs will throw you into other classes with more prepped cars + more experienced drivers. I'd try to stay as close to stock as possible for now.

[@nolanjudkins7151]

Overall, I thought Zack did a great job but I would like to see more stats about the car. Maybe what the redline is or what transmission is in it. Honestly I think that there is no better person than Zack to continue the one takes.

[@jacksonpagett7746]

My first car was a stripped hyundai excel x3 (accent in the US) with a race seat, harnesses and good suspension with very little work done to the 1.5l twin cam motor. Such a fun car to drive fast as a driver thats still learning

One Take lives on

[@genericautovlogs9484]

I love my 8th gen Si, but I miss my EK and EG everyday. There’s such a classic, raw feeling when driving a 90-00’s Civic. Before some obnoxious “gentlemen” says it, I know there are faster and greater cars out there. I don’t care, I like having money to do more with my life than let a car rule my wallet 24/7. I mean, why go through this life using cars/racing as an excuse for your financial instability or self-destructive tendencies. Maybe that was too deep. Whatever, I love this video. Showing it to my grand kids.

[@danieldennehyracing9780]

Own a 2008 VW Rabbit with a similar build sheet. All suspension, brakes and tires. No HP to speak of... But such fun to drive!

[@colonslash6609]

Great job Zack! For a second I thought the owner was Matt's body double...Seriously guys I think these fan car episodes are way more fun than dealer demo cars. Stuff like "power band-aid" would never come from just reading a window sticker/build sheet.

[@zackklapman3569]

Now I'm curious what conversation you were in with Hunter S that led to "Colon Slash" .

[@colonslash6609]

[@robertpatton2480]

Great Video!! Thank you so much for letting us take part. Thanks to everyone who gives SHEATH drive.

[@matthewyang2792]

I love the conversation you guys had. Y’all got the point across. It’s not about adding more hp or aero to get a better lap time. It’s about working on your driving skills to get better lap times. Then you compare that to others in the same class or to the laptime other ppl are getting with similar setup. That’s how you know if you’re driving is improving. So many KZbinrs just add hp and aero to improve lap times, but they just put themselves in another class or level where the lap times are way below what similar cars with same hp and aero are getting. You can add aero, but other ppl with the same car are getting faster lap times without aero. That’s the wrong approach to improving lap times.

[@ricerocket_ed6650]

I have a 280whp WRX and had more fun driving an EK hatch with a b16 in it around a back road, power isn't everything.

[@Nelbone]

A little root style supercharger would really set this apart. Cool little build for some twisty roads.

[@Nelbone]

Sergio Aguirre jeez I bet you’re no fun at parties.

[@Nelbone]

Sergio Aguirre so angry

[@upon1gsxr600]

Sergio Aguirre depends on how you shop. I got my D15b for 500$ and the Jackson racing kit used for another 500. Swapped on a spare y7 crank pulley and now it’s running around 10lbs. The torque is unbeatable from 3k on. You better have a mildly built b series to be close. Wish it would blow up so I could go for big power. It’s just fun as hell and I love the sounds it makes. Always have people yelling from cars asking yo is that shit supercharged bro!?

[@upon1gsxr600]

Sergio Aguirre never ran it in the 1/4. Have ran a bunch of stuff from a roll that’s low 13 high 12s supposedly and pulled on them. The thing is where I’m at the lights are close together and people can’t drive. They sit and spin. It’s fun beating up on people that have the same car with damn near double the power. I’m not a straight line guy anyway. The car is basically set up for autocross as I love ripping some of the cool back roads around me. Haven’t had one of the turbo Honda’s hang with me on the back roads. When ever it does blow up whatever I do swap in will be supercharged too. The instant and linear power just fit the way I like to drive my car. If I got a meth kit It would help a lot but I honestly just don’t care. I’m not telling everyone this is what you should do but if your already running a single cam and find a kit for cheap I would say go for it. Super easy to install and I still have ice cold ac. Problem is they are hard to find and getting expensive. They are consistently going for 2k or more on eBay when they do pop up. Don’t pay that much though it’s not even close to worth it. Like you said just swap it at that point. The swaps always cost more than what you plan. The stupid little shit is what adds up quick.

[@zleake000]

[@reionmiller9289]

I watch this constantly to stay motivated to grab a older Honda and do these exact mods

[@aamir1972]

This civic guy is an awesome. Every car guy should aspire to be like this guy

[@PetrolHead1]

Great debut Zack, your perspective and analogies are always on point!

[@jordan-leemccarthy8805]

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Hector is gonna be running 3 Honda Civic's with spoon engines. On top of that he just came into Harry's and ordered 3 t66 turbo's with NOS's and a Motec System Exhaust.

So happy to see Zach!! He Killed it!

[@MrThiago2508]

I remember the Audi V10 video Zack did way back, good to see him back in the hot seat

[@Tbrick563]

Driving a slow car fast is so much more enjoyable

[@mowcee1]

Honda's have always been a well balanced vehicle, that's easy to drop a swap in an take advantage of the power to weight ratio. t's good to see these back... can't wait for the next!

shoutout to rob @chewerks. get all my s2k work done there. Glad to see a lot more customer cars out in the wild.

[@chriscottrell2756]

Great first fan one take Zack! Congrats! So happy the series is continuing under you guidance, knowledge and enthusiasm.

Sounds really nice similar to an old touring car don't usually like civics. Fairplay. On a side note, car insurance is so high in the UK most people start of with a car no bigger than a 1.5 litre engine. Often not bigger than 1.2 actually. So there is a natural progression to bigger more powerful cars which is good for driving experience. To take my own experience as an example: 1999 1.2 Vauxhall Corsa 65hp, 2003 1.6 Mitsubishi Carisma 100hp, 2001 BMW 1.9 318ci 120hp, 2007 Vauxhall Astra TwinTop 145hp, 2004 1.3 (2.6) Mazda RX8 230hp, 2002 Seat Leon Cupra 180hp. Hp figures are estimates.

Zack starts with the beaters, then works his way up :D

[@Kittievr]

Goodjob zack. Glad to see you doing your new project.

[@gerardjoaquino8856]

Awesome owner. Great call on your first one, Zack!

[@echannel1018]

Great Job Zack, I think this was much more informal than if Matt would have done this as you are still very curious.

[@doripanda]

I like this so far. But then I also have a single cam civic that was bought for learning time. Though mine was not built when I bought it... Almost there though.

[@billyelliotx]

Zach is so dreamy. You should put him in the cars more.

[@TheSmokingTire]

Oh BEM, you and your early 2000s punky looks. - ZK

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

Glad to see you let someone else take over the smoking tire instead of it just going by the waste side.

[@arkaitzplaza1540]

Thanks for keeping this kind of One Takes alive Zack!

[@Labergemusic]

Sweet! I'm stoked for the new one takes. It'll take some time to adjust but it's gonna be so good! Keep it up :)

[@betoortega408]

I just came across and purchased a 1994 Honda civic lx with 72,000 original miles I just bought it to flip it to be honest

[@gumby0922]

That’s why I bought my e30. Cheap to drive and fix. And a forgiving car to learn with.
