Hey people may be “bitching” that it ain’t a new episode and I get that, but i appreciate this directors cut with more detail and depth. The whole point is since I can’t enjoy doing this myself due to lack of money/space/time at least being able to watch someone else get to clearly just enjoy themselves.

Exactly! Where is the turbo?!?

[@LiWo02]

Exactly. Beating a stock street type-r should be fairly easy. K20 + turbo + suspension, tyres + weight reduction and you are faster.

[@blazervol3357]

That's what I was wondering. Shouldn't even need a turbo with that budget though. Really get some solid suspension components and get them fine tuned, upgrade the brakes, get about 260whp from the k20, and do some weight reduction and it should easily beat a type R for far less than 50k. Perfect example of more money than sense

[@thatmaverickguy859]

Honestly, they could have done 4k in suspension 2k in wheels in tires and probably about 4k in the stock D series and then $0 in weight reduction and probably been faster

Drum brakes “annoying to work on” is the understatement of the century

[@Onewheelordeal]

Turns out for cars with regen braking that barely need to use the rear brakes they can actually last much longer so they're making a comeback. Also if you're trying to revive something that sat for a long time drums tend to be more forgiving or easier to rejuvenate

[@Salesman9001]

Self adjusting, low maintenance drum brakes only exists in manufacturers brochures. I don't miss dealing with drum brakes, always a huge pain in backside. 90's cars with all the good stuff like ABS, stability management, self adjusting, self tightening and self cleaning were the worst; they eat brake shoes like candy, need monthly maintenance and randomly stop working for no reason (then start working when you open them)

[@lordomacron3719]

A little modest aero package should let you get those last couple of seconds by being able to hold a little higher corner apex speeds. A full splitter at the front would be too much for road use but some dive planes could easily be incorporated and a basic rear wing should give more confidence on the rear. Then it just a matter of dialling in a set up over time. And to be fair the new civic has a better stock aero package than the old civic so if you do wish to match performance I think aero is the most logical next step to look at.

[@Postal268]

Just a side note with the stereo, with these small hatchback cars you can actually get away with just a cheap small sub/amp combo especially since 99% of civics these days already have an aftermarket headunit in them. Even if you don't have an aftermarket one already, you can get a cheap Bluetooth/radio only one for around $30. I slapped a sub/amp combo in both of my CRX's going with the cheapest ones I could find and they definitely improve sound quality drastically even with keeping the stock speakers (or if they're blown using the cheapest replacements) and the total upgrade costs around $100 ($125 for me cause I had to replace blown stock speakers) plus it weighs less. I think they're plenty cause I still get people telling me they could hear my radio from inside their house and I have the bass levels set to be as close to the same level as the other speakers as possible to just have a more full sound and not trying to shake the road or anything. One of my CRX's also is even using an underseat sub/amp combo in the back. I think the effectiveness of these subs is mostly due to the acoustics of the hatch area. Oh another little upgrade I do when adding a sub is since I am running the power from the battery into the firewall is I add a split in the wire so I can have access to the battery from inside the car for my jump battery (which I installed inside the car with straps and I recharge it off the car while driving) or a tickle charger without having to pop the hood. Since my jump battery is always hooked up too I can jump start the car with the push of a button from the driver seat. One of my CRX's I just put a whole second fusebox cause I had added a ton of accessories (LED accent lights everywhere, Screens, Solar panel trickle charger, and so on) and it makes their installation a little easier than splitting off the original fuse box with fuse inserts since that will get very crowded very fast.

Yeah ITB's are cool but no turbo was a weird choice. Just invest in something that is high quality but moderate, no boostedbois big turbo ebay stuff or crazy complex kits like they did in the 350z series. Should be just enough that would push it to Type R levels of power (350wheelish). Then focus mainly on an efficient and reliable cooling system and ditch big power numbers so it could take the track abuse for a few laps. Easily would match type r or surpass it

Donut is by far the most watchable car enthusiast channel on KZbin! I just love the way this Honda build came along. Flat out inspirational for all us Donut Wannabes! Keep this incredible content coming!

That box was a serious limiter for the stereo, All you would need is a little deadener in the doors and hatch. And maybe a 2 side tape for the bottom of the tag as it likes to rattle bad. But the stereo got a huge crutch with that box.

$50k and no turbo makes the whole thing pointless

[@canadianthought]

Agreed. Get a turbo or SC, and put the belt driven steering pump back on.

I'm jealous. lol. I'm 56, never had a licence. The tracks in Canada won't let you race without one.

This may seem sad to say but you're building my dream car, been looking for an old civic for years. At the age of 40 and being in the east coast of Canada and how badly things rot due to salt we use on the roads i'm truly afraid i'll never get one :( but yours is a beauty and can't wait to see more videos of it!

[@Hughesy81s]

This is the first time I've seen one of your videos, I'm a fan of your approach to trial and error while still teaching important facts. I'll definately be keeping tabs on you good sir!

[@hondamotorsrider]

Swap the head unit out with a period -correct, swimming dolphin display that we all used to play with in the stores

[@GREASY_GH0ST]

I must be dreaming.. A HOUR VIDEO FROM DONUT?!?

[@YTesting]

Insanely dope having it as a long video, well done.

[@pedro_8240]

1:06:20 When talking amplifiers and speakers what you need to match is the impedance, the power doesn't necessarily need to match, as long as the speaker can handle at least the same amount of power the amp can put out. If the speakers have lower impedance you'll either draw more power than the amp or the speaker can handle, and one of them, of maybe both, will blow. And if your speaker have higher impedance you'll never be able to draw out the full power of the amp.

[@tommyq7471]

31:00 LEON GO BACK FOR LETTY! IM ON IT GO!

[@ickerolig]

Damn, video is a full movie. I'll come back later with a beer to finish this one.

[@palledrengens]

When installing audio, DO NOT match speaker and amp RMS WATTS!! always have twice the rms output on the amp, in that way you can run the amp on half power amd it won't heat up running at the max all the time to match the speakers, longer lifespan on the amp🤘🏻 and forget all about huge ass caples, match ur gauge to ur Amperes going through the cable! Thin cables installs easier.. ex. You can run 50A on a 10mm² cable at 4 meter..

[@liamyates5544]

I like this. Please do more builds/ overhauls.

Hi My name is Connor and i would like to say keep up the good content, i recently started showing my grandfather who is a retired Auto Electrician your videos and he really likes them.

I loved this video, not exactly what I would do with the funds you had but I really like the build. Good work, information and entertaining as well. Thanks

[@Gatortoad]

Throw a turbo on that bad boy, I dare you.

[@jameskazd9951]

it's already at 230 hp, even a small turbo could probably put it over 300, but they built it around natural aspiration so they would have to change around some things. It also isn't very roomy in the engine bay, squeezing all the piping for a turbo would probably be a huge pain

[@dz-zf8vv]

pls try 2 drive with closed windows and ac on. There is a nice episode of Mythbusters, where they explain that at speeds faster 55mi/h, open window creates more drag then the working ac.

I know nothing about these cars, I was raised a farm kid so it's 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks for everything and I love it that way. However I love just watching the process on this stuff. When you said remove the D15 for the upgrade all I could think was ya....go to a C15😁. 33:52 with the green hat i'm thinking...Modern day Luigi, the car needs to be painted in a cool alteration of mario kart

[@iamoutofideas13]

I had a CX trim 94 Civic back in the day. I loved that car, but it had 87 actual horsepower. I had to get a running start on any hill if I wanted to keep it above second gear by the time I hit the top of the hill.
