Building a Honda Civic in 40 minutes

[@advantagehiphop]

And you did all of that in 40 minutes. Imagine what you could do with an hour!!! Great work Ben!

[@Zaaf2003]

Lmao

[@davonmulder8458]

Ikr insane work

[@DarkHawk666]

If the Flash was a mechanic 😂😂

[@stilllmkp]

[@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

[@MIDA-Multi-Tool]

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]

hi muyskerm

[@daus19819]

yo

[@kanal0096]

He changed all possible parts in his civic but never changed his Jeans 😎That's what a real car enthusiast looks like 😉

[@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.

[@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]

?

[@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.

[@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”

[@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.

[@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!

[@MeliZuni]

For people reading this review, it's okay, it's normal to feel lonely sometimes, if you're going through tough times, keep trying, but never give up, I wish you great success in your health, love, and happiness!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!!

[@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.

[@ayhemgamerpro4774]

22:06 this shot right here can be a banger of a wallpaper amazing work man

[@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 😢

[@A_T88]

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

[@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.

[@user-wv1he5yq8b]

What a wonderful journey you have shared and allowed us to be apart of Ben, lovely and passionate video and keep it up!! WE KNOW YOU CAN WIN!!!!

[@H8onG]

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

[@PajEvo_Aus]

Hey Ben, would be good to see a discussion on the mods that worked well, what didn't work and what you might do differently next time. It would also be good if you could talk through costs for those of us looking to get into this ourselves! Great video as usual

[@Tofu_Slayer]

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

[@estewar03]

That shifter cable issue was hard enough to watch & go through the first time, I felt just as bad this time. This goes to show how far you & the civic have come, congratulations & Cheers to continued successes for the G&G team...

[@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. 👌

[@johnpaulespinosa5072]

Been following this build since day one. Watching from Philippines!

[@vincentcamarena778]

I plan on starting my track journey very soon here in socal. I hope to look back on this message and think how far I have come.

[@josephsprinkle8783]

hey i’m just curious where exactly do you start when you want to get into track racing in socal?

[@WRLDOfSad]

That's actually so damn impressive

[@AZ-hf9ow]

Now thinking about it, 2800 is a bargain. That complete swap alone is now worth 4x what you paid. And, how 5 years flew by.

[@GrizzlyGarage]

2019??? No way I’ve been watching for that long wtf 😂😂

[@craigsawyer6453]

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

[@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

[@williamt1579]

These guys are no longer sponsored by advance auto parts because they got less than a million views on their last road trip.

[@GearsandGasoline]

Advance dropped everyone. And laid off 400 of their own employees. They’re going through a rough patch right now.

[@weswest8666]

As an advanced shareholder (one share lol) they are doing worse now than in 2011 😒

[@mm8436]

They just bought out all the Pepboys in my area. I think they expanded too aggressively.

[@police428]

I also believe that in automotive circles, it is coming out how big part companies are gauging customers, and people are turning to RockAuto, Amazon, Local Part stores

[@highthai7]

Cool then new liveries for the boys!

[@andrewchristmas2026]

Yo I'm Where's the next upload! Yalls videos are basically Saturday morning cartoons for me

[@Reggerss]

i haven't missed a video on this civic since the road trip. TEAM HONDA and K IS KING!

[@teeh.2939]

Omg that last race had me pumped until that shift gear malfunctioned. 😭

[@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.

[@Jjgarcia1228]

First time watcher. I’m emotionally invested now 😭

[@joseChavez-uz7to]

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!

[@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!

[@whyoumadbrolol]

I don't care they are not sponsored by advance auto. ALL I care is their passion what they outputs their great contents every weekend experiences and they had gone through all theses years. Keep ponding Ben's.

[@SepleP.]

I remember hitting the subscribe button because of this car and i'm extatic from how far you've gone.

[@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!

[@itspique]

As a civic nerd myself, this is probably my favourite video on the internet.

[@gamercoolapple1]

First KZbinr who actually has driving skills well deserved!!!

[@ChizXP]

this is how i spent my work hours just watching. this. awesome

[@ballanugraha6590]

the goosebump is real!!

[@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...

[@tnutss]

Although I watched this civic since it was bought, it’s ridiculous to see how much this car went through and to see Ben’s OCD really put quality work and thoughtful mod to it over and over again.

[@bounsaythor168]

Everything look easy when you know what you doing, great job!

[@harsh_rujkoomar]

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

[@bakermrad]

This is a cinematic masterpiece

[@RAIHAN____]

I can't believe it's been so long. All of the upgrades feel like they were just made yesterday and the fact that he barely didn't get the first place was very sad for me. I really appreciate you and your civic.

[@babayagaartworks7357]

Gears and Gasoline is honestly THE BEST CAR KZbin CHANNEL I've ever seen

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Driven-Productions]

Man what an incredible edit! That was the best Civic Hatch build on YT. Congratulations man living your best life love it!

[@12thegod]

Dude I seen many things in my life. Let me start by saying congrats. You went from nothing to wins…. Hard to do. You keep pushing even when things go wrong…. Your end goal is to win and it doesn’t change. Most people would give up…. Don’t be like most, that what sets people apart, keep doing what your doing, and who knows maybe we will meet on the track one day when my life starts going to a direction where I can start putting my plans to reality.

[@PotPotChuan]

The fact that we are passionate about it, the dust under the teacher's shoes has not yet settled. Patience and dedication is admirable. Supporting from somewhere in Myanmar🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Nevoexpo]

It never deserved to have the Type R stickers but the fact that the car has been through so many upgrades and modifications was awesome.

[@glenlaranjo6973]

I watched this civic since day 1, and now its a BEAST!

[@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...

[@PabFilo]

from wanting it to be a daily to a complete track vehicle, this is a nice build

[@jhannvincentgarcia7748]

Best 40mins of my life at workplace🎉😂

[@FaithJourney.FollowerofJesus19]

Cool points in the video

[@1stkeyhomebuyers]

Awesome, I didnt realize you got so fast in GLTC, IM looking forward to you and Kutil battling in the front. Keeping the fwd Honda dream alive.

[@GhostRider03]

All my life I hated Hondas. Until now. How has one video changed my entire perception on a life long feeling, I have no idea but how sick is this car!!!

[@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!!!

[@treaper884]

what an amazing journey.. looking forward for your P1 next year.

[@Sham1r0]

Not going to lie mate, this stuff is amazing. Great job to you and everyone who made this thing possible.

[@Dougsterxplor]

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

[@JoseHernandez-hf2dh]

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

[@frankx.lozano5658]

I watched the original video, but hearing you say "no!" When your shift came loose at laguna Seca still hits deep. Way to go ben🔥

[@numeroxp]

27:47 that slide was so clean

[@Lightenhein]

I never thought I could watch a KZbin video this long. It was just so satisfying to watch. Great production and impressive journey! I wish you good luck with your racing career!

[@kedharnathreddy2405]

Best 40 min time spent this year :)

[@benporter1992]

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

[@zackmaslin8257]

Still don’t understand how you were able to keep yourself so composed after that win got away from you. I would have been so emotional. Props to you big man

[@ARCmedia23]

This is what movies are made out of! Nice to see Virginia Plates out here doing it, We'll be watching from here in the Arcade and hopefully racing beside you in the coming months!

[@Kikos_Garage]

Fantastic video, loved the progress captured over time. Stay after 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.

[@pelayorico]

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

[@vlix]

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

[@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!

[@michaelsimmons9296]

this car has just made me fall in love with the civic!

[@yogamijil7363]

Amazing broo, you show me that you and team struggle never give up 👏🏻 you're a champion

[@stevehignett5701]

It's not often that I appreciate someones progress when they have sponsors, helping hands, handouts etc etc, as it's often skewed and so few of "us" can achieve what you have (how many engine swaps and rebuilds and dyno time and gewrbox mods etc etc) - however it clearly matters to you which only comes from dedication and that's how I would be, so I cant fault you and wish you all the best...

[@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

[@joaquincandalaft2124]

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

[@AntonioSantos-lk2eo]

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

[@ryansweeney3031]

I just spent $67,000 on a 4 door 2017 ford raptor but I was looking at Hondas before I bought the raptor and I was never a fan of Hondas but this video has changed my mind I need one now it’s amazing all the stuff u can to one

[@droid1008]

COME ON BEN GET THE FIRST WIN! YOU GOT THIS

[@Platinumraider0]

I absolutely love watching these videos. "Ben" watching for a long time and am amazed with the progress both of you guy have made! You guys inspire me to build my car and I'm hoping that one day I'm in a position to finally hit the track. Hoping to see you guys up in northern Utah one day. Gears and Gasoline forever!

[@jonathanposerio3137]

This is just WOW!. That journey from ordinary car to almost winning a championship in a top tier class is just AMAZING!!!

[@rustymonkey69]

that last minute had me at the edge of my seat, then tears........
