Building a Honda Civic in 40 minutes

5 years is a long time to build a car, and we're still going! I wouldn't have expected you to have watched all 5 years worth of content on this car, which is why we've condensed all 5 seasons into 1 episode! This took a VERY long time to edit, so I expect to only see positive comments below. Let us know what you think of this format, and we can make more on some of our other cars!
I've updated the Civic's playlist to include all of the episodes shown in this video if you want to spend a few DAYS binging all of the content!

[@stilllmkp]

[@damarfadlan9251]

I count it is in 39 minutes and 43 seconds.

[@CrV_Jr]

I still haven’t recovered from that Laguna seca race 😫 I legit cried when the civic broke right at the end

[@bandwagon240]

2 legit, 2 legit 2 quit.

[@marcoguzman7934]

I was heartbroken watching that event in person man

[@JRald2016]

Dead ass, I felt his suffering through my phone

[@midamulti-tool1540]

same here man, that video broke my heart. I feel like I would never want to race again 😭

[@johnathanalonzo803]

Same here i felt my heart drop when i saw

[@atonement.]

Can we just talk about the quality of the editing in this video? Top notch! What a journey, the Ben’s are killing it!

[@recklessrvlph]

Right!

[@nVyXyr]

Facts! It's the kind of editing that simply would not be possible without the guys behind the scenes.. shout outs to the camera people!!

[@eazybuilt]

damn 5 years already!? time flies when you’re having fun!

[@muyskerm]

Great video guys. Thorne out here living the dream

[@hollistered4780]

[@gamerin]

This is one of the best built series because of the continuous progression, passion, engineering, heart, and results! Thanks Ben for sharing your story!!

[@andrewgibb9782]

?

[@thrashmarky]

I can’t believe I’ve been watching you build it this long. I’m an old school muscle car and classics guy and this is my favorite civic on the internet. Always love watching you drive or work on it.

[@austincooper583]

I wasn’t expecting to get emotional watching this. But watching his journey since the beginning and watching him achieve his goals brought a tear to my eye. Love everyone at G&G!

[@jellofuel]

A podium finish takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment to achieve. We're so proud of you and your epic build, we love Grant Davidson so much.

[@shiishani3302]

I'm not a car guy, but it's beautiful to see people like you just being able to have a good time doing their hobbies with such passion. It's a beautiful car btw.

[@karizakeh6283]

the fact you spill sweat, tears and blood in making the car, and driving it??????!??? this is a documentary better than anything ive ever seen motorsport related.. goodluck and looking forward to updates and wins!!!!

[@thrashmarky]

That bumper you put on when you went to club tr is probably one of my favorite non power mods. Completely changed the look for me.

[@aldisdzerve2264]

Been following this civic build since the beginning! While i love the success of race car life - for me personally i think peak of this car was 2019.. Just really really nice clean road car. Perfection

[@LBCClutchKick]

Losing "Top Gear" felt like losing an old friend I never thought could be replaced. However, you guys have proved me wrong. I've gone back and binged some of your greatest adventures. Thank you for the excellent automotive entertainment.

[@truckerguy28]

This car has come a long way, from a automatic grocery getter in a backyard overgrown with weeds, to my buddy Mike where we converted to 5 speed and dropped the type r b16 in he picked up from culpeper va, to your hands where it was made proper. This car started in my driveway and it still amazes me this is that car and how far you have made it. Incredible

[@Tofu_Slayer]

Been following this build for years and I gotta say one of the best stories of all time.

[@joshpeterson1999]

You guys made this eminently watchable. From the choice in music, to the really well done narrative, props! This is a fun recap on this car.

[@aroundomaha]

My favorite build series because it shows the trajectory of a great project car and the channel. I’m living vicariously through your adventures. Thank you for the inspired work.

[@johnm7521]

Wow what a journey it is! That last race i remembered being so happy for Ben because he was going to take first until the cables popped off. Stressed me out afterwards lol Can't wait to see more of the civic!

[@nazaamwilliams4569]

One of the best civics on the internet straight up, I've followed most of its build life and us the reason I subscribed. I like the way the car advanced, especially on track. Brilliant channel, one of the best. HUGE RESPECT from Capetown South Africa. 👌

[@A_T88]

She’s come such a long way. Just crazy and incredible

[@benporter1992]

These track videos have become some of my favorite content to watch from both of you! Keep up the good work!

[@Original_t31]

Incredible video. This is what racing and wrench turning is about. Rooting for you this upcoming season

[@vlix]

Ben, you're so inspiring. Great works you've been through. Wish you successful races this season. Well done champ

[@user-pv4eb7fi6u]

this is better than everything I saw in every channel. at some point I thought I was watching a movie or something. a well organized and a well put video. 5 years in forty minutes.

[@joaquincandalaft2124]

Everything in this video is SO amazing. The story, the car, the editing, the music, Ben...everything.

[@gregtudanca.]

Just watching this video makes me realize how long I've been consistently watching gears and gasoline. 👌 Can't believe this was way back 2019. Thay civic is just like watching your kid grow up 😢

[@phantom6knight]

It was amazing to see how your car (and you) evolved over the timeline. Excellent work and congratulations on the achievements along the way. This video was the highlight of my morning! Thank you for making it!

[@uhhhwhatdoipick]

love seeing the growth, both in cars (for both Bens) and in the channel content!

[@sooyster4033]

A timely reminder of just how far G&G has come and the amount of work you've always put it. You've enjoyed a lot of success but darn if you didn't earn every bit of it!

[@Dylan-qv9sv]

Been following the build since day one, the progression with this vehicle is amazing. Can’t wait to see what’s to come.

[@smoloms]

im glad this video is up and the whole honda build series as a whole. My hatch will never be on the level of yours but it sure as hell will be the best daily I can make it.

[@mikaeelmohammed4215]

You guys have become my favorite channel. I recently entered the track racing scene and your videos have been some of my biggest encouragement and inspiration to stick to the sport. I wish you guys nothing but success and wins. Keep doing your thing, I’m sure many people like myself look up to y’all. I would hope to meet you guys some day!!!

[@larzgardner92]

Crushing placement on that Laguna Seca race, Been amazing watching both Bens work on their "Racecraft" and building fun cars along the way. My favorite Channel by far! Bring back 2 episodes a week!

[@xtruekingmeliodasx]

This was truly inspirational Ben. Keep up the great work. I’m sure you and the civic will get that W this year

[@bilaluddin.2k]

this 40 mins is the best KZbin video I watched at the beginning of 2024❤. you will win the next championship bro. the car you built so far is the real happiness and victory...

[@JoseHernandez-hf2dh]

Ben it is because of people like you that i work so much on my civic, love your work!

[@ntr-cptr7709]

I do hope you are able to get a class win on your next season of racing. So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏🏻

[@H8onG]

I so remember all of this. Been watching since the first road trip in the evo and sti swapped forester.

[@velolegion9034]

This has to be one of the very best KZbin videos I have ever seen, this is main stream documentary level stuff. Footage, voiceover and music choice is all on point. What an epic journey you have been on and I truly can’t wait to see what happens next 👍👍👍👏👏

[@mulletsquirrel]

Your guys' video skills are top notch. The car building is so interesting to watch. Crazy to think how much footage you had to go through to get such a beautiful 40 minutes! One of my favorite channels easy

[@golden-faze0333]

Ben, this is one of the best videos I've seen. Love the seeing the progress bro. Keep it up❤️

[@Senihmo]

Every minute of this video I think back to 5 minutes in when Ben said he wanted a “daily he could take to the track” and it slowly turns into “ a barely street legal track beast”

[@craigsawyer6453]

Never gets old watching that Civic! Can't wait for 2024 season!!

[@gianpierolg3563]

the value of this video is next level, guys you really put things down to earth, thanks fot this, keep going

[@aadil_63s]

What an amazing journey. Can't believe that i have watched the journey of the civic alone for 5 years 🥹.. Good luck man ❤

[@AntonioSantos-lk2eo]

After following the build since day one, I can confidently say this is the sickest civic on YT. Keep it up boys 🙌🏼

[@someperson7]

Sat down, put this on the TV and watched start to finish. Very enjoyable. Next season is looking good!

[@goldhorizon2965]

Crazy that ive been able to watch you build this over the past 5 years and even get to drive on track with it!

[@RyanBradfieldRacing]

Awesome video. You’ll love looking back at this years down the road.

[@pelayorico]

i see this process over the years, never tought i started watching you guys 5 years ago . stocked

[@zephyr4620]

Amazing video! You've done what others couldn't! This is amazing to see this progress

[@ballanugraha6590]

the goosebump is real!!

[@AsttroKnot]

Loved every minute of this! you're doing great ben, keep it up!

[@frankgile1996]

Man, I hadn't even seen the Laguna Seca video... That was so gut wrenching. Hopefully you'll come back even stronger this year, you're a small part of the reason I want to fix my old Honda...

[@johnnyringo4463]

Its awesome to see you go from working in a cinderblock garage and a hydrualic press next to the couch to where you are now. I dont think you guys have changed other than becoming more "professional" in video editing and making. You're living the dream life of just about every tuner kid in high school.

[@NNfullsend]

ive been following mia build since the beginning. thank you GG im inspired to build my own and dominate

[@phantomguardiann7461]

Im glad I stumbled across yalls channel. Very enjoyable and educational!

[@odpieces]

Beautiful man. I can't wait for this next year

[@ryanrydes6372]

I am really glad that I saw the progress of this car ever since this was added to the channel. Such a great video G&G

[@danielalfonso7084]

A random side note, when you crashed I noticed you told yourself "it's ok" before anything had even happened yet. And it was really nice to see you being kind to yourself in such a stressful moment

[@Dougsterxplor]

Brilliant journey which I've followed from the start. Good luck from Glasgow, Scotland.

[@n3ttx580]

This project inspired me to get a K24 swap for my Civic aswell. Not on as big of a budget as Ben, and not yet racing, but you have been a huge inspiration. The last clip, when that P1 literally popped away from you always breaks my heart and brings a tear to the eye. Good luck to you, and tall Ben in 2024

[@MojiiOkay]

Great video, great journey, look forward to seeing what's next for the EK!

[@PropulsionCreative]

Love this episode ❤ thank you 🙏🏻

[@ravanomaroney8649]

Wow, loved this post. What a journey. Amazing content. Loved every second of it. SLO mo cornering & correcting was just sublime....👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@Yann_Poirier]

Knew the whole history of this car as I discovered the channel few weeks before the Miata x Civic roadtrip, and my god what a journey you made with it ! So happy for your progression, and looking forward for where it's going ! Cheers from France!

[@gr6395]

Ben painting this cars engine bay was the first video that introduced me to G&G. Seeing how meticulous he was, immediately got me hooked to this channel. I have been following you guys ever since!

[@hazael1229]

i love this car. It was always a dream of mine to build the EK with the k-swap. sadly i never did. I always wanted to go to a race track and i never did. now im 33 but seeing YOU build your EK... im happy to have been along for the journey. i saw this car and all the changes it went through and it was always exciting to see it. i love the EK content cause im living vicariously through these videos. Its beautiful to see the potential of the EK. i could only ever dreaming of being a part of something like this, but you made it possible for me to experience this and for this i thank you.

[@n7rvanamama889]

Beautiful statement ❤ well put.

[@StarClay666]

Amazing video, was hooked from beginning to the end. Excited to see what's next for the Civic!

[@ZaydEdits]

Incredible journey and proud to say I’ve been here every Saturday since the civic’s conception. Can’t wait to see what’s to come in the future, race wins for sure

[@PotPotChuan]

I cried as the other two cars passed you at LS. I was sitting in my living room cheering you on. I found G&G when you first took the civic on a trip. And I’ve been following ever since. 2024 podium wins I can see it already!

[@alfghar]

Alright, this recap is amazing. Good job Bens
