Eric_Kutil_Racing JTCC EG Sedan Build in 15 Minutes

Ok, I'm back!!!! Obviously we have a lot to catch up since the last VLOG I uploaded, so here's a quick build recap of the entire project. This was from the start of the build in January to mid July of last year which was 7 straight months of extremely hard work. In this video, I cover most of the major projects and milestones but its tough to recap thousands of hours of work in 15 minutes! Over time, I'll upload more detailed videos and VLOG so stay tuned. I also planned on adding recaps of all the 2022 race events but it started to get too long so catch that in the next video upload! Ignore the few editing glitches ha, I'm still a noob lol! Thanks for the all the love and hope you all enjoy!

[@tr4ck_day]

I watched it all come together one story at a time on your Instagram, but its cool to see it again here and hear your thoughts!

[@EricKutilRacing]

It was a lot of stories hahaha

[@miketejero]

that's got JTCC vibes all over it. Great video!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Appreciate it! Jtcc is always a vibe!

[@Busydadgarage717]

I mean, with it only taking 15 minutes in the video, now I am going out to my garage to build mine. Be back in 20! 😂 Amazing build, bro! Love watching you race this thing. Still miss the hatch, but there is no denying the awesomeness of this thing!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Hahaha thanks dude! 20 minutes, you got this!!!

[@BossBossRacing]

Your build is so unique and thoughtfully planned and executed. Love it!!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks buddy! Yeah it was a ton if planning but it all came together perfectly!

[@emilygardner7]

So proud of you Eric ❤️ i love you

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Been following for quite a bit nciw, appreciate the info and content you provide for all of us!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Great to hear! I'll be sharing way more

[@F1ashP1aya]

A lot of work performed and I am happy that you're racing right now and it was not abandoned! Building my own sedan right now and get energy from your videos to move forward with it. Mine is pretty much rusty but I weld it by myself cuz it makes me feel that I know a car completely from start to end. And it will not be so sick as yours with custom pedals, cage and so on. But that sedan is not your first build and you alsop started from easier to build setups. Keep moving and I will be happy for you! With love from Ukraine

[@EricKutilRacing]

Good luck on the build man! I didn't cover it in this vid but I actually had to do a lot of rust repair as well. Two spots on the cowl, one big area on the front arpon, down by the pedals on the floor, the entire trunk was cut out and a section on the roof. It was a lot if work but you can't even tell anymore

[@F1ashP1aya]

@@EricKutilRacing I see welded parts on the vid anyway:) that was a lot of work to prepare body for the swap and so on. Have the same rusty parts as you had so nothing is perfect unless you make it look and work good

[@devinb1483]

Same here! I like the accord platform so im working on a 98 Accord, its tough finding performance parts since it was sought after until like 06 lol, but its coming@@F1ashP1aya

[@kern417]

so much work that you can't see. good job

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yeah, I definitely skipped a few projects in the vid, otherwise it would be hours long ha

[@benoitvaillancourt3851]

By suspension work I meant development, so cool to see how you are thinking out of the box and putting some engineering skills into this build. I’ll watch the next video for sure

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks man! Yeah. It was a ton of work to get this car to work at such a low ride height !

[@revengefullobster4524]

Damn.... that was a lot of work, but it paid off. The car is a rocket!

[@user-lv3vc1cy7u]

Hello, I'm looking forward to seeing you. The new body has considerable fighting power! I'd like the roof and translid to be made of carbon and use titanium bolts and aluminum bolts to reduce weight! I would like to cut off the protruding parts where the bolts are screwed to reduce weight and prevent the computer harness from getting wet and causing problems even when rain gets inside the car. We will continue to support your Civic Ferio. I wish you the best.^ ^

[@EricKutilRacing]

Carbon roof would be awesome!

[@dandietlindrives]

No worries about the lack of youtube. This build got the time it deserved and it turned out amazing! Very motivational! Cant wait to see more when you have the time!!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yeah, I have no regrets because otherwise I'd still be building the damn thing to this day with zero races ha. I'll be pumping out more vids here so stay tuned!

[@TheTimesX]

This is an absolutely insane build, love the JTCC era. Can't wait to see suspension video, and any thoughts you have about the setup/feel of the car. In the clip at the end it looks very tail happy.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks buddy! Yeah I'll go into detail on the suspension videos here soon. The main issue at Mid Ohio was too much packer and bump stone with minimal shock travel. It made the car bouncy and unsettled, easy to break loose

[@drewpierce2273]

The last time I saw a post was you massaging trailer fenders for your wider fender wells. All around nice build. Did you ever get your hands on a plasma cutter?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Nah, no plasma cutter. I'm quite skilled with my cut off wheel ha

[@wat6816]

that is incredible. what wheels are those? and the Integra looks great too in black

[@EricKutilRacing]

Which wheels exactly, the first few minutes, the Sedan is on TRM C4 18x8.5 wheels with modded rotiform Aerodisc's on the rear. Back in 2022, I ran Konig hexaforms, 17x9 front, 17x8 rear

[@sinisterdrifter1]

really cool to see the turbo fans in the back wheels, honda used to use that setup to gain more downforce on the back of the car back in the day ?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Probably more so for reducing drag and maybe keeping heat from the brakes back there for better tire temp

[@bobbyhamilton7751]

excellent work!! why de-tune power?

[@EricKutilRacing]

GLTC is a power to weight class and its beneficial to hit your peak whp target for as long as possible. So when we detune, I have about 200 whp flat from 6k to 8k.

[@sakoginanian3752]

Amazing build! Any chance you can make a video on how you built the front splitter ??!

[@EricKutilRacing]

Of course, I build like 3 splitters a year lol

[@packyautoparts]

@@EricKutilRacing thanks man! good luck on the next season.

[@dudeisnotcoolio]

How much of a change did you notice in cooling/ F downforce with the ducting setup? Looks legit!

[@EricKutilRacing]

It's honestly pretty hard to determine how much downforce was added but it has to be doing something ha

[@emilianocuara4671]

Your my inspiration man im building an eg hatch with a gsr engine and trans i needed help on what i should do with the wiring hows the pdm holding up? I want one.

[@EricKutilRacing]

There are so many options it's overwhelming. Honestly some the pre built relay setups like from rywire may be the way to go. My pdm setup is badass but it was a ton of work and not cheap

[@DKarGarage]

How much did everything cost you?

[@EricKutilRacing]

A lot of the parts were carried over from the hatch like engine trans, some of the suspension etc. So this build cost me around 25-30k I'd estimate. To build it from scratch with all new parts, close to 40k+
