My all time favourite Honda is the original NSX, ive driven a few as ive worked with Honda for over 15 ish years. Had over 50 Honda but never the NSX. Tis a dream for me to own one day, hard to come by in the uk and so expensive still. No way near as many here as you guys get over in the states as we dont get Acura here. I drive a CRZ atm and i love this thing. Ive got a few of your parts on it and i simply cant wait to order more. Currently wanting on some parts i ordered through Torque GT in the uk to arrive for my birthday on the 25th 😊 i love watching your videos. Such a great guy to just listen to or see what your up to. So genuine and not forced like a lot of content on youtube. Peace out. Gareth from the UK.

[@gregcastillo8561]

Owning a EK9 used to be my dream car until I finally made that come true by getting one imported. I used to own a 1997 EK9 but sold it due to hardship. I hope all goes right on your EK9 build. I look forward on more progression videos of it. Thank you for the content.

[@kev2k403]

Mines is the EM1. It’s my first car And I’ve had it for about 4.5 years now. Finally k swapped it last year with the help of your guys parts. Now I’m just looking to clean everything up like your doing here.

[@MissChristineC1990]

My Favourite Honda has got to be the 89-91 Civic Shuttle. My dad had the generation before mine of the Shuttle when we was kids and what's weird is having my Shuttle reminds of all the old Honda rattles and creeks that they used to make, and brings back many memories. Currently K swapping my Shuttle at the moment, but it's a very slow process here in the north of Ireland / UK everything is so taxed and expensive :/. One of the first things I got was the detent springs from Hybrid racing. Was actually on one of the well known Japanese car importers in UK. Weird they had them :') Best of luck with this EK build, will be watching carefully!!

[@undergroundkingsgarage3215]

While everyone is out here building civics and integras and S2k, my favorite has ALWAYS been manual accords. I feel like their built just another degree further. I’ve owned every gen from 3rd-7th and currently have a 6th gen that will be getting a Kswap 😎

[@perfgg5573]

Dc2 for me. Working on a k swap as well. I have a 0 mileage k20a2. You’re right it’s super cool to just have a fresh engine like that. Mine came from a tech school. So I have to run through everything. But it’s still sweet!

[@samhenzler1596]

Ek9! I’ve been running your 130r in my hatch, favorite shift knob I’ve ever owned!

[@EKIan-cv3kb]

The EK9 is on my dream list, perfect body, great interior, all the heritage and most importantly, the car that made me feel in love with Honda.

[@brittonbrumitt]

Ek9 TypeR is my lottery car. As stupid as it sounds if I won the lottery tomorrow I'd pay whatever it took to get one! Excited for this build, it's my dream car!!

[@Akvan79]

Ek hatch all the way!! Built my first when I was in high school and lost it to thief. Now I’m building another ek hatch and hopefully I get to build it all motor.

[@gregbrookes3368]

Gotta be the Honda S2000. I used to own one and have driven a lot of cars and by far felt the most comfortable in my s2000

[@ericsands6192]

Gotta go with the NSX! But love them all my first car was a EF hatch. Had a CRV that got stolen. Currently have a 7th gen accord coupe and an eg build.

[@kevinfongdara]

Gotta be the ek9 for me. I love all the other chassis but there’s something about the ek that does it for me.

[@hybridracing]

kevin fongdara I think I agree. It’s just an amazing car for its time and still looks great today. 👍🏼

[@mbeangel]

Couldn’t agree with you more, own one myself

[@mastermind5692]

You wont get shit, its a 20 years old car and very limited.

[@unfateful787]

The ek9 type r is the Ultimate Civic and the most beautiful... I should of NEVER got rid of mine... Even tho it was only an ek9 DX... My favorite car ever

[@realtalk735]

Integra DB8! Since 1996 when I was in high school I always wanted an integra. Now I finally own one!

[@tegbwoy91]

Favorite model is the EK9 that's why im building one right now

[@the4thgen_tfl]

Favorite Honda Model for me would be the EF9. I own an ED6. Something about the chassis lines makes that styling so timeless. It's such a beautiful car in my opinion. It's my first Honda and I really love it.

[@terencefavela2448]

EM1 has to be my favorite Honda by far, car was so ahead for its time and still looks amazing for being a 20 year old Honda. Love the content btw keep em coming!! 👍🏼

[@danielihlenfeldt3580]

I love that blue color, going to get my EF painted like that.

[@mbeangel]

Daniel Ihlenfeldt getting my ek hatch painted that color too😆

[@TheJerseyboi561]

My all time favorite is a 97 spec Civic typeR love the 96-98 era 🙏🏾

[@DcA79]

The has eg civic has been my favorite since my uncle bought one new in 92. I’m currently building a K swapped eg hatch.

[@barryblenman2164]

CL7 Accord Euro R... Highly underrated and unsupported state side for obvious reasons (and I own 1...lol) but thanks for the recent TSX shifter, cable bushings and detent springs. I copped the bushings and springs and coupled with the Mugen shifter there's only 1 word to describe the feeling... Impressive. Keep up the good work guys.

[@lucianorodriguez7777]

My favorite of all times Honda Integra DB8 type R, a beast on the track and a family car all week 💪🏼

[@brandondollar689]

Looooooove the EK9. Such an amazing machine. Nothing like that white exterior with the red carpet. Just sexy!

[@eg6v8killa]

Its gotta be the ek9 for me man I am currently building one love the content keep it coming.

[@H2bst0mpz]

I'm not gonna lie the 92 honda civic eg6 was my first love, especially once I seen Spoon racing the car and the blue and yellow color wave, second favorite is the ek9 with the b16b in it, that championship white but with a twist like your doing putting a K in it. awesome videos can't wait to see more and what comes next. Love all of hybrid racing products 😍

[@AustinSmith-sx4uk]

ek9 by far is my favorite in factory form! but I love coupes.

[@eshayzfilms]

Gotta love a S2000, such a fun driving experience and whilst not driving it, it is great to look at as well.

[@robertocontreras1229]

My favorite honda chassis is the 92-95 Civic Coupe, I actually own a Right Hand Drive Ej1 and its amazing. Ofcourse Its full of hybrid Racing Goodies 💪🏻😁

[@timkasper8786]

So I instantly subscribed when I saw the brand new K20A that’s going into the EK9, but then seeing an S2K added to the fleet in this video... man, you have my complete attention. Bring on the videos! Also, I’m an 8th gen fan... I’ve owned three 8th gen Si’s, so my favorite all time model is the FD2/Mugen RR 🤤🤤🤤

[@uptownx24x]

Will always be the EK. That's what I'm driving now.... Biggest regret getting rid of before. Love the look, and love the handling

[@jafarmohamed1399]

NA1 NSX, AP2 S2000 are by far my favorites

[@gerardstefanelli1618]

My favorite was the 93 eg I had. Loved everything about it. That look will never get old in my opinion.

[@HondaVlogs]

Favorite Honda model would be the Del Sol. Underrated in looks and performance.. i gotta say.. i just love them and won't ever get rid of mine.

[@bgerrero]

Definitely my favorite of all time is a EG hatchback

[@andypipe8667]

All time favourite has to be the eg6 sir-s. Just a timeless looking car. Own a eg5 esi myself but a eg6 one day will be nice 😎

[@Raibana.k]

I love the EK chassis it's lightweight and fun to work on I already had a coupe but I would love to get into a hatch just like the ek9

[@danielihlenfeldt3580]

Favorite would be my EF I'm building, working on my wire tuck right now, I'm waiting on my hybrid shifter. Thing is going to be beautiful.

[@CarnalPerformance]

Integra type r 2000 yellow! I own one already i built back because the only i buy if the shell only!

[@brianharms8031]

Definetly the Honda Nsx Type R. It's up there with all the other legendary exotics, but it's much more humble.

[@RoninEg6]

My favorite Honda model would be the Honda Civic Type R EP3 😳. They’re so underrated and the shift being placed right be the steering wheel makes it a perfect little racer.

[@gasonit8835]

ek9 clean brother you got it striped down but it's still clean already before paint.

[@kouki_integra]

My favorite Honda ever is the DC5 Integra type r, I feel like not enough homage is paid to this vehicle for it's timeless design and versatility. Keep the videos coming 👌🏾

[@camerongrady580]

First generation CRX for me. Enjoying the series so far! 🤙

[@keronwilliams4433]

Has to be the fk8 type R civic its just amazing and has beautiful visual but crazy performance

[@danielsoon0302]

Gotta be the EK9... I drove all the Type Rs before but EK9 are the most raw feeling ones with its b16b.. But if you match it with the FD2 Type R drive train.. Make it up to date with the latest tech.. Mint... Totally a whole new car with a whole new experience.. Man I miss my EK9...

[@NotoriousZNT]

My favorite Honda is the DC2 integra 😎 also loving the series so far!

[@derekmatherne172]

Always had a soft spot for Samba Green Del Sol. Friends dad owned a boosted one back when we were in high school. It was super cool. Maybe any 90’s Honda that can pull of SSR Type X too!

[@Seikers]

Excited to see this build! Going to be getting your guys shifter for my Integra! My Favorite Honda Mod is definitely, detenth springs. Makes a huge difference with very little money.

[@juliusjones7876]

Hey David it’s neat hearing your point of view on car builds. That ek9 looked really nice already so stoked to see what you guys do and how it all comes together. My favorite Honda chassis is an ek hatch. I’ve always loved rooting for the underdog and the way they bulge around the front and rear tire wells just looks aggressive. P.S. It was cool listening to your podcast with frank.

[@hybridracing]

Julius Jones thanks for your comments! You’re the winner of a HR Maxim Aluminum shift knob and a shirt! Shoot me an email and I’ll get you set up! [e-mail]

[@juliusjones7876]

Thank you so much will be getting in contact with you. I’m honestly super stoked made my day David. Thank you again.

[@michaelpotts3685]

Man I love these videos. Your gonna have me tearing into my car just to keep up with the cleanliness here. Keep it up!

[@BIKkeRrFoRRLLiFFEE]

92 Honda Civic hatchback. Keep up the cool videos

[@dkaplan100]

Cd5. Love them and getting ready to f20b swap mine

[@crich1431]

In my opinion the best Honda model is the CIVIC. The EG has my vote however. I’m hopeful one day to own one and build my representation of what a yellow typeR would look like had that option been given to this chassis from factory. Added the EG paved the way for the EK

[@AyoBrandoh]

Ive always loved the 5th gen Prelude, such a gorgeous car. CRX/EF, city turbo II, and ill always love my ek coupe. Currently under the knife for a K24a 🙏

[@typesoyes]

Dc2 with jdm front end all day. Gotta have a K though

[@davidburciaga1139]

Ek9 definitely and thanks for the tips on wire tuck on the fenders 🙏🏼

[@chrisbailey5047]

Great quality video and lots of info as always. Thumbs up!

[@steelontarget]

BTW, I am really digging this. I am so glad you are doing videos like these now. Cant wait to see how this car improves.

[@Oneinthaair]

[@lma2177]

[@locotron1011]

Ek9 is my favorite

[@Izberg3rdblk]

Factory, it would have have to be the DC2 ITR obviously heavily accessorized with HR products. Haha

[@outbound7203]

my favourite is the honda civic Ek9 Type R and the honda nsx but building my civic Ek9 same color as yours cant wait for the paint job to get done so i could start building the engine

[@R1giC]

Ek9 is my favorite, however eg6 is close 2nd. I just got my hands on a eg6. My new project car.

[@that2kdad13]

My Favorite honda/acura is RSX but im bias because i own 1!

[@chriscaulder]

I love the bastard child EP3 to be quite honest. Just doesn't have a ton of support for it which makes it a bit more fun to build today.

[@219kckz8]

Phoenix Yellow Acura Integra Type R 2000 is my favorite but I own 3 EG Hatchbacks 💯🤣🤣🤣

[@soggycivic8594]

👀 back to a zero mile civic. My favorite civic (and this is biased since I own one) is the Milano red 1993 civic vx. Only because it has no luxury options. And it did 45mpg in its prime time

[@hondahybridz5125]

I would have to say honda 1968 S800 coupe I would love to own one.🥰😎🔥

[@hybridracing]

[@hybridracing]

[@philz417]

My favourite Honda would be the DC2 Integra Type R, S2000 and EK9 Civic Type R!!

[@Siblue]

Favorite is EK chassis 96-00. Will be following this build. Hope to see if you add fender liners when done.

[@hybridracing]

The car will have fender liners one way or another! It's going to be tough with the wheels but I'll pull out the heat gun and stretch them out as best as I can!

[@jodiehodgkiss8062]

Owning a EK9 is my dream

[@Dcurleyfry]

S2000 for sure! I daily mine 😎
