[@Brian.Gregorio]

That Jimmy Oaks reference! I appreciate the fact that you are taking your time, it really shows how much effort goes in builds like this take. 🤙🏽

[@salaw]

When Mickey said he was going to sandwich it between the factory metal, I said he’s been watching Jimmy Oaks. Then he shouted him out. 🍍 🍍🍍🍍

[@stevefarrugia2985]

Are we going to see a Jimmy Oaks and Throtl side by side when both "Honda's" are complete?

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Hopefully. We've talked about it. Leave him a comment in his Nissonda vids that we should.

[@jermainrmartinez4689]

Make it a triple if you could get BodeVision's 87' Accord LS swap-RWD conversion in there🤔 Great to see your vision come to reality Mickey

[@VMTyler]

@@jermainrmartinez4689 Thatd be sick considering theyre also all built for different functions as well. Bode's being a street car, Mickey's being a track car and Jimmy's being a drift car. Im really excited to see how all of them turn out

[@jimchris2272]

Im surprised that people in here is watching same build as the other 😂

[@Ace2023c]

"Shout out to my boy Jimmy oaks"

[@dukecityR]

This by far my favorite build you guys are working on currently. I don't mind that it takes a while, it's just fun to see all the little progress and detail work being put it. I would watch this series to the end, even if it took a year or two to complete! Thanks for all that you do for the car community.

[@nxt4464]

Can't wait for the finished product

[@mediawalldisplays3056]

Big up Jimmy oaks! Looking like it's going to be real nice this build, trans tunnel looks really good

[@Casey_Jones_]

I am always stoked when I get to see content from this build. I was beginning to think the only one making any Throtl content with Rickie(which has been great)!

[@RunningSolo]

thank you brother .. it takes a lot longer to fab them me making How To Videos .. but trust all of us are working everyday, while staying safe at the same time.

[@Civicky]

Makes me want another hatch. They are something else.

[@LeninVera]

Shouts to jimmy oakes and bhall!

[@bloodtearssweat1373]

I truly love this build. Your actual giving getting me motivated to turn my ej V6 chassis in into a RWD or AWD.

[@ivantorreseducation1340]

Amazing build love watching it progress can’t wait too see it on the track

[@Lastsight100]

The EK is going to be absolutely insane when it's finished, keep hitting us with the awesome updates.

[@mclarenjohnf1]

Mickey you are doing a great job, every welder has to start somewhere and quite often they are thrown in the deep end, the main problem a diy welder has is setting up the machine, I remember the first time I used a mig I ended up with 3ft of wire out of the gun and the wire was stuck to the metal and nozzle. I got past that but it took time.

[@doesntmatter2505]

You guys working some magic with this car!!! Awesome work!

[@megans6935]

Jimmy Oakes and Throttles civics need to go head to head or at least an episode with one another

[@albs1201]

I freaking love this build more and more ! It’s sooo dope !

[@tlrhector]

glad to see work on this again .... keep it up and stay safe

[@ssantos010287]

I know it's hard to push out content during these time, but man are they the only thing that keeps me sane so thank you!!!!

[@zachgardner1615]

I definitely would love to see the rest of the tunnel welding and getting it squared away. I love watching the entire fab of every build. Not everyone's cup of tea but definitely do

[@Growing4TW]

IMHO thee SICKEST civic on the road!! Honda should have offered this as a special edition from the factory. You guys are fu***ng AWESOME!

[@DeLaCroix1211]

Super excited to see more of this build, great to see you doing so much by yourself

[@ace-pl4qh]

“I’m new to the whole fabricating and welding things” Proceeds to fabricate a master piece. Great job Mickey keep up the good work!

[@mattcampbell4504]

Cannot wait to see this thing finished or at least the paint portion... killin it as usual.

[@e-yen]

Can't wait to see the FREK when it's finished, it's gonna be one of the sickest Hondas on the road!

[@CraaaigV302]

It's all good mickie practice makes perfect it's a area no1 will really see and after u grind it all down and seem seal it maybe lay some boom matt it'll look O.E 👍💪 keep up the good work cant wait to see this finished and getting to watch it come together is such a privilege thank u!

[@DiegoHH7]

so hyped on the frek build great work mickey!! 🔥🚀

[@photodave219]

Mickey, ive been watching your builds for a few months now and I really dig that you go for an OEM/stock look. Kinda a nice mesh between custom fab and what the designers originally had.

[@guidoheeling1179]

i absolutely love this project! it is a really interesting and unique thing you are doing! Best project ever!

[@daltonnash465]

Enjoy watching the fab stuff keep it up man!

[@VeeKaChu]

I completely forgot how much I was waiting for this exact video! Love this kit-bashing stuff!

[@nelsonvanputten9241]

Great job guys,keep up the great work!!

[@BrandonK80]

Keep up the good work buddy. It's looking great.

[@henrostander207]

So addicted to this build can't wait for the next video

[@andreasleventis]

My favorite project on this channel keep up the good work bro.

[@alexjohnson1439]

This build is so awesome! Keep it up 🤘🏼

[@gateaccess818]

i learned welding the same way you are mickey! no lie, learned for first time shaving engine bay on my nissan 300zx. only way to learn ;)

[@JoshRoss]

Don't worry about doing it fast. This kind of work takes time and the process is interesting. This project is way more interesting than bolting on a few parts.

[@jamesfcookjr]

Throtl ViP squad Good afternoon Mickey awesome more fab work on the rear wheel drive Honda hatch rebuilding the transmission tunnel 👍😊🔥

[@rippa6029]

Dude I love your work I love this build new to the channel

[@carloamoroso9020]

Watching from the philippines mickey excited to see the finish product awesome build btw 😁😁😁

[@racerx2084]

Everything is looking awesome with this car. Your doing fine on time with this. Don’t let people give you guys any crap bc of time. All the haters have no clue on what it takes to build stuff. They think it’s a discovery show and the car is done in 30mins. I think you’ll like the high console. It’s nice to rest your arm on while shifting.

[@gashousemotors3455]

I love your work. Thanks from Spain.

[@geraldrogers9481]

The progression is mint👌

[@tlrhector]

I wish I could quit my job and work and learn right next to you. It has always been a dream to work in the auto industries. Again thanks for the videos, I really enjoy them.

[@CarPhonix]

Amazing Fab Work Mickey!

[@gavnott4563]

You’re doing awesome in the situation the world is in right now. It’s gotta be tough alone when you are all used to being able to help each other and work as a team

[@99EMERSONIC99]

Take all the time you need men, this is THE SERIES, it's just the radest project so far in my book.

[@andrewmurrey4149]

Hell yeah thanks for referencing Oakes

[@mickeyandrade3435]

He deserves a mention. He works his ass off.

[@red_dragonracingsilvereclipes]

you know when you been to long by yourself when you start talking to yourself..lol and yeah Mickie those plasma cutters are a godsend when fabbing.

[@schtix392]

Man the best way to learn how to weld is to do it... I never knew till I got myself a welder a just spent some time just doing odd bits here and there and well now I’ve built my own full custom chassis...

[@azharsyarawi]

Such a clean build 👌🏼... had me thinking about getting an 80s Honda.

[@jermainrmartinez4689]

You should check out BodeVision's 87' Accord swap and RWD conversion too

[@MultiAlex1530]

Hey love the car and you guys at throtl do amazing work. Just some input from someone that has been down this road is even if you weld the joint fully put seam sealer on it cuz if this car ever sees rain you gonna have a lake in your car ask me how I know

[@marlostewart1107]

Got an old ek tach-less gauge cluster I could donate. Definitely plan on doing a digital setup down the road, when I eventually K swap mine. The FREK is gonna be one hell of a unicorn in them Cali streets.

[@danstewart8218]

Mickey!! Keep on Keeping on! Watch URCHFAB! He's doing an amazing ford/MX5 splice, tho he's done a video on mig welding which you'd find super helpful! The only way to learn properly is to try it, tho helpful tips keep your tips helpful!

[@BeyondABuild]

This build is sick! 🛠

[@hammertimee777]

Mickey Andrade, the transmission tunnel is the piece i've been looking forward to for 6 months. The next piece will be the drive shaft and the rear hatch floor.

[@crowythebutcher6127]

That’s cool Mickey is paying attention to jimmys Honda build as well b hall has a heap of good tips

[@jsantana233]

Looking good 👍 I've always thought that Honda civic should all be rear wheel drive. Just saying!

[@edwardaleman1658]

Cam footage LETS GO! EXCELLENT

[@TropicBlaze]

As an Aussie so glad to see haltech going in

[@shadowsystemsrc9389]

I would stay enthused about this project even if you took your time. Thanks for sharing, I like how it's coming together.

[@HarrodsGarage]

Good to see you finally giving welding ago. I’m proud of you Dad

[@nicolanpuckree3775]

Loving da build

[@lucaswooldridge8810]

15:40 no worries!! We all love what you’re doing

[@jamesfcookjr]

Mickey it think the car’s that you build and fab your self is the coolest brother so keep up the awesome work it’s going to be awesome 👍😊

[@raphaelwillemot4387]

Take à look at Mako Motorsport in Australia, they do very clean bespoke cluster mounts. They have a very nice Haltech IC7 recessed version for the EK. They do bespoke cluster mounts for almost all the digital dashes on the markert and for most JDM cars.

[@MrGeeMoney1983]

It all good Bro, take your time! You can't rush a Masterpiece!

[@DanoneTiago]

Look for del sol interior. Should help a lot with the tunel and trims.

[@Nihil1st1347]

I really like the round tail lights on the orange 911.

[@zerializing]

I love Jimmy Oakes build but, I feel like Mickeyspec is the level of OCD and attention to details I can get behind. I can't wait to see the differences between these two builds.

[@carsonyoder6294]

16:13 got some real Car Trek vibes going

[@therealdonchelios]

You should really put all these civic videos into a playlist.

[@sanjuan240]

Starting to come together

[@Earl16233]

I hope to see this I’m bumper 2 bumper on the donut channel then all of use are like yep we saw this from the ground up!! This is gunna be siiiiiick

[@mateoalday6980]

Man your caps are nice just sayin your work on this one tho 🔥🔥

[@ezequielbecerra7782]

Don't worry Mickie we love & appreciate you

[@bigjeff1291]

When you were opening the Halteck components, you mentioned a “pdm”. What’s a pdm? A guess - power distribution module?

[@mickeyandrade3435]

Correct

[@MuhammadNadeem-gn4in]

Superb Engenring

[@joshjones2053]

I think I seen it in your videos before but cant remember but have u used the EASTWOOD pneumatic crimp tool to join to pieces of metal?

[@cghoward70]

TJ Hunt: Puts on an air intake and some stickers. “This car is good as new!” Mickey: “Cool. I made a transmission tunnel. Lot of work left.”

[@vfh98]

2 different builds

[@izzwafiadile5809]

Yasssss, I love Mickey. Hey mic why dont u put a carbon fender?

[@travelgasm_media]

Hey Mickey.. love the wrk and videos u put out. It's really detailed, genuine and informative 👍 I knw u guys have a lot in hands bt here's an idea.. hw abt building a kit car or sumthng which changes the car entirely.. like a G35 to Veydor (I knw thy r ovr rated 😛) but still tht would be sumthng interesting. High Hopes 🤞🤞 P.S.. I found u in an old episode of Westcoast customes shw whr ur representing HRE performance.. I tell u man, beard really suits u.. 😛😛 Peace ✌️✌️✌️

[@torreyinnewyorkcity334]

Just found you! Love you content

[@lovetoninita]

Vato loko killer build...

[@AGordavlog]

You guys should use Fueltech ECUs some time! It’s pretty impressive and everything is together, you don’t need this amount of things.

[@SamVieiraGuitar]

So how is the civic going? No more updates? I was so exited about it

[@johnathancrumm]

Would you consider a small viewing window to see the transmission under the shifter?

[@gatyn1978]

Good job

[@robertoramos291]

Correct me if I wrong, been the fact that u are building from scratch the tunnel, isn’t wasn’t better find a wrecked s2k cut the trani tunnel and transfer it to make it fit on the ek?

[@robb7414]

No worries bro I’ll be here no matter how long the build takes

[@pacebeazy7584]

Please Been checking in on this build but can’t seem to find the latest episode

[@giovannihernandez420]

Nobody: Mickey: “Alright guys Im gonna have to go ahead and call and audible”.

[@bretoldoleandro]

Hello here from Portugal reaching out to you, what’s the song name playing @11:18, appreciate if you could help. Can’t wait for the end result 👍🏻 good work.

[@lloydschultz8748]

Thanks for the Kove discount code. I’m building a toy hauler and had no clue what to do for a stereo. Problem solved.

[@user-fc9vo8vu1w]

日本車をこんなに綺麗に保ってくれてるのが凄く嬉しい

[@gateaccess818]

whoop whoop! geter done!

[@lucasminagaraschenco4173]

Thankyouuuuuuuuuuuu I LOVE THIS CIVIC

[@peteranthonyanakwe9040]

[@lutfimuhamad6046]
