How I bought my Civic Type R replica for $5000

A few months ago, we took a road trip from Key West, Florida to Nova Scotia, Canada. One of the most popular comments on that road trip series was the claim that there's no way I could have bought my Civic Type R replica for $5,000. Well, in this video I'll go in depth into everything that I've done to the car since I bought it. Sometimes the best deals aren't the ones that you find for sale, but there the one's that you build yourself.

This is how Hondas were always meant to be. Practical, reliable, subtle yet sleek, and a ton of fun to drive with the proper suspension setup.

Not sure about that, even many enthusiasts in Japan heavily modify their civics.. I understand the practicality and reliability of Civic's as that is truly what they are made for, but in my opinion the build he bought it as wasn't horrible, besides the obvious poor condition of some aspects. I actually thought the engine bay looked better prior rather than after he bought it. The way he built the Civic after buying it would be too stale for me, too boring. It was clean for sure but some things he did I thought were just too bland.

Jason Szumski Oh I’m not denying that and I know some put outrageous body kits. And I agree that his modifications were too bland for me as well. The way I see it, if there’s room to improve the overall performance while maintaining the balance, why not. I should rephrase that, “this” in my opinion is the best and most ideal way to modify a Honda, not exactly like this example but it’s pretty close.

These are the type of videos I could watch all day.

My family used to have a '98 DX civic sedan-same silver color. 5 speed manual, manual everything-manual window cranks, manual door locks, we even hooked up a sirius xm to the cigarette lighter. That thing was a beast. Sold it with 250,537 miles on it due to a broken air conditioning compressor. These videos bring back the memories of that car.
