Speed academy and gears and gasoline, kinda like sat morn cartoons.

[@sikh70]

Not as technical but throw a bit of DDE and its a good mornin

[@abboudab6794]

Powernation has great content in between too

[@alithespy]

Can't watch gears and gasoline since one of the hosts nearly died from COVID and still was spewing antivax BS

[@nikothecrazygreek]

I also enjoy legit street cars on Saturdays

[@mrbookends]

Except "white" Ben is some shit...... Asian Ben and Adam are the only things keeping me watching G&G

[@dimitriliving]

I just have to say, Speed Academy has the best Honda builds on KZbin. Your taste for Honda builds is just better than the rest.

[@Gynkys]

i beg to differ. sonic203 have some of the cleanest hondas in the game.

[@allgasnobrakes1665]

Nope KG Garage the best

[@renndub]

Quick tip: when greasing brake and suspension parts if you live where road salt is used, use marine grease instead of multi purpose grease

[@FirstLast-we8cb]

What about some of that french fried pertater grease? Mmmm hmmm....

[@ChrisOstreicher]

Your videos have me checking the classifieds every time...

[@g-mane7497]

Dang. Literally 29 minutes went by like that. Keep it up guys.

[@jimtran7260]

Hands down, my all time favorite car. 99-00 Civic Hatchback with a K20 motor. even as adult, I still want one.

[@TonysTechAndCars]

Amazing builds as always

[@chrismccauley2605]

Freaking nice! I know everyone is all about these huge builds but this is what a guy can do in a garage over a couple of weeks of work love the fact you guys spent the time and money where it counts but still attainable to the average car guy with a budget awesome build cannot wait to see it perform on the track!

[@mr.cangieter8758]

Speed Academy FTW.

[@ImpalaSS08]

Paid $2000 for a rust free car with a $10,000 paint and mint interior. Sounds about right. 😂😂😂

[@miguelare3]

Another favorite build! You guys are just awesome!

[@valkyrievillage3673]

You guys really need to do a budget Miata, under $10,000 us

[@wojtekp3212]

Yah those are so good on the track. As well as mr2 but way more rare unless u import!?

[@RealBearFace]

I feel like you can't get a good Miata for less than 5K any more. Not much space for budget after that. You'd have wheels and tires and suspension and catching up on maintenance.

[@juffurey]

they did a track Miata a while ago but yeah I think it was way more than $10k. lol

[@psewgobind]

Awesome seeing my most favourite car ever being revived.

[@MrBenstero]

Great build, thanks for the one video build

[@1stGenCRXs]

Beautiful car and well done! It really is hard to argue with K power. Love that you modified stock brackets. Did that on my swap and really helps with the oem feel.

[@MrChefmanny1983]

Great work guys looks so clean and fresh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Tkssa580]

Awesome build guys! Love the color 😎

[@jamescagle5208]

Very nice. The EK Civic is my all time favorite FWD vehicle. Its such a great looking hatchback.

[@user-su7cf3kp1u]

Nice job !That's anV-TEC Jwaller ! Weldome !!

[@jaynuck]

Enjoyed this guys. Would love to see a full recap of the DC2R as well

[@genzigzag]

Between you and Vtec Academy' uploads you've got me itching to do a K20 EK Civic or CR-Z build. Great build!

[@muirisoconnor7749]

Great video guys, you inspired me at the time to kswap my DC2.

[@martynrollinson]

This sort of video should be bonus or extra to the weekly videos... I watched the build why would I watch again?

[@ConiferConnoisseur]

Man, this thing was sick!

[@mustangpapi76]

Beautiful and clean little car.

[@DankUrbanBoss]

Rep in the chris fix shirt too good stuff! Thanks for making videos like this and encourages me to get out there and do something similar

[@MGL1997]

Keep up the great vids! Please do a Z32 TT soon!

[@lamboferruccio]

Wow that 30 minutes went by so fast, well that was fun to watch, I know it’s not reality but fun all the same!

[@umakemerandy3669]

Love seeing all the Canadian Tire steez all over the place lol. Great build fellow Canadian.

[@te71se]

I have not heard the use of steez in a long time lol

[@uglybastard1080]

@@te71se It's still used by skateboarders, and probably snowboarders too.

[@timbot80]

Great video!!!

[@zidnizidan3573]

In your garage there is everyone's dream car, dude❤

[@sbeezy562]

car came out amazing nd beautiful 👍

[@JPAnglers]

The best car builds ever

[@colinkelley7807]

That montage song is hard af

[@silverbulletS197]

Love that color on that Honda!!

[@JPD-mh8mz]

Love the wheels, had the same 12 years ago

[@florider_hd]

i bet this drives so much better than a new civic. good job guys

[@magnacars]

Great to meet you yesterday

[@speedacademy]

You too! Keep up the great content on the 190E build. Looking forward to seeing it complete.

[@erezyoal]

Guys you did it the right Way this time, White wheels and red Interior is the proper Type R colors 👍

[@jposse187]

I love videos like this

[@LordTheodore04]

the front end looks mint

[@Killerconceptz]

SO DAMN CLEAN!!!!!!

[@WatUpOck]

Love Speed Academy! He Got Out Front Of The Teggy Type R His Ass Said SAY GOODBYE!! 👋 🤣🤣🤣!!!

[@Turkey-Tickler]

K-Tuned parts cannon locked and loaded…..😊

[@mrbookends]

@8:59 - this. Always this. I have a '77 Datsun 620 that I'm building and I really should have started documenting how much time I've spent on THIS kind of stuff.......

[@Stratos1988]

Tell me about it. The amount of days "oh today I'll knock out few things starting with easy win"... easy win 2 hours later...

[@kylebehiels3963]

Love the versatility of the K series. I have a similarly performing car that I did for $4500 CAD but is obviously way less clean. Build out a EK beast for almost 20k or have a fun track type s for 5k

[@kc510]

Speed holes. The good things never die.

[@deano_s2k]

What color or color code is that paint? I can't decide what to point my s2k this summer with.

[@vinuyajohn719]

Hoping that SPEED ACADEMY will build an EVO III someday...

[@Reseteveryday]

I want to do that to my 08 cr-V!!

[@charlyecastro9139]

Amazing

[@lamesamelame]

Wish these guys were my neighbors

[@nicholasmorris3709]

What torque wrenches are you using? I love there build!

[@stephenbouck]

i hate recap videos butttttttttt the banter keeps me watching lol

[@LordTheodore04]

damn thats fast

[@afaketwo]

Awesome.

[@minhoek3252]

I was like..2000 dollars K swap Civic, finally something for my Budget...however it was just a shell :D

[@mikedenver5341]

Should have bronze wheels and a turbo. Plus a rebuild on the K swap. Come on Canada

[@coltonsanford9759]

Which is recommended K20 or K24?

[@Jason-nk4yr]

Cool, Prices only reflect if buy if all at once. Would li,like, to see a build if the average day Joe built it. No? Buddy deals. I had this laying around. Like u know everyone else...was doing it... Good luck. Bet you can't do if.. still like watching 😊

[@alexsalapan6329]

I was hoping that it is gonna be a RWD SWAP. Cos FWD swap for CIVIC is not a huge thing, it is already FWD from the factory.

[@dcgaming3699]

What type of color is on the hatch?

[@wrdominicas]

must be nice to have unlimited money to do this , making me dream about it , not able to do like this but good video

[@Skiridr22]

She looks beautiful

[@bernandoturner4840]

He was not trying in the R Acura.. he let you win😆

[@jahvanclarke1396]

Let me have a go at it

[@K03sport]

looks like I should have invested in K-tuned before this build.....

[@verginsergin]

Should've went with the 5 lug conversion.

[@houalee1835]

Now the EK K swap VS EG LS Turbo

[@Johnnyeatsitall]

I currently have 13k saved for a project car, I sold my turbo foxbody 7 years ago and figured I'm at a point now I'd like to build an EG k20 civic, after looking at just the garbage swap kits. Eh, I can build another 9 second mustang for less than 10k. Looks like I'll be going the cheaper route as usual. If the Hondas were affordable I'd build one. Isn't that sad, it's cheaper to build a 9 second mustang than it is to build a stock k20 swapped civic.....holy fuck I thought slow cars were cheap to build. 😂

[@superidol2877]

Can u do a z31 build

[@user-pf4cw9ec6p]

Beautiful. But all that $ for 200 horses?

[@brettyh1]

13:40. No hard hat?

[@TonyMontana-xv4lc]

Canadian Civics need heat in the winters, and air-condition in the summers.

[@knm727]

Damn I got a fully stock D series just sitting, can I borrow $12k to build it 😂

[@IDONTHAVEPERMISSION]

$2000?

[@jockobo]

I think they forgot a zero. Or did so intentionally to get clicks.

[@SteveFerr525]

so after the power washed the engine it hot dirty again lol 😆

[@redyfernandez1259]

Should of just bought a rsx type s lol and build that

[@mostwantedm3]

All that money, and can make more power with less money.

[@hadibowszkee7987]

❤

[@Hakiri27]

The engine bay vs the undercarriage 😢

[@aboyisinvisible]

why did he put those pieces of aluminum on the wheels?

[@elliottb7009]

its a motorsport thing to stop the wheel weights from coming loose. the wheel weights balance the wheel to stop vibrations when driving.

[@Candyman2020_]

😮

[@JohnWickOG]

Who else caught the Ride 5 menu music?

[@rickyflowers4892]

Can you do a mustang. 2006 gt

[@muhdrazwan9609]

Barang2 kereta honda nie paling mahal sekali di dunia nie..laju xpayah cakap laa.. kereta lain x boleh kalah kan kereta honda nie ..

[@crystalizzeable]

Come on guys, you need to do something besides hondas

[@therunningman8692]

2k??? Okay pal.

[@SeanPhelps-qh2eu]

Can we get a little more variety. This channel is turning in vtec academy. Maybe a sr20det redemption series since project grip ended with a honda motor.

[@jayem4467]

I don’t understand Hondas bro. 20k maybe 10k just for a swap and it’s still slower than a base model e46 or 350z

[@elliottb7009]

its because a 350z isnt a civic. i can give you 100 example of cars better then them too.

[@TheBudmen]

My guess would be Hondas last a lot longer than a 350z

[@LLW_KENNELS]

ANYONE IN FLORIDA DOWN TO K SWAP MY 95 DEL SOL.

[@iUseYoutube_]

this all cannot get done in 30 minutes

[@A.R.C.77]

200hp for 18k.....

[@BigBenlolz]

"k swap everything bruh"

[@MiSCHiEF_BassMusic]

This guy basically k-tuned everything on that k20a2 type s versus my 2 bolt ons k20 all I got that is K-tuned is fuel rail and centerfeed manifold

[@Darkeiser.7]

Numbers are reversed in the US. 🤣

[@StanleyKubick1]

the boomer channel of the car scene. just boring guys doing boring builds with clickbaity titles. you'd have so much more success on facebook

[@Busabangin]

Lmao, y’all spent more than 2,000 grand in k swap parts.. this swap still isn’t affordable 20 years later..

[@PseudoKirby]

why do yall keep literally building the same exact cars over and over? go back to exciting plz

[@charizard2014]

Goddamn clean

[@renatoperez8792]

This engine was meant for the EG! 🥲🥲

[@cruejones742]

Always the sign of a channel's downfall when they start posting B-roll from old content to try and seam still relevant with nothing new to add to the current discussion. Okay your old Honda with slightly less older tech is what?

[@chinuablair231]

Seem**😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TJDST4]

BTW, how's your channel doing these days?

[@bgee461]

I like the recap, and when a video is running behind, I'd rather have a recap than nothing at all to play in the background while I do work. You really think guys out here banging out $25k builds every week??

[@cruejones742]

@@TJDST4 ask your mom. Everybody loves onlyfans. If you werent that dum you wood have tried two argue what I said instead off making fun off an spelling off an word. BTW ask her to shower once in an while damb!!!!!!!
