Honda Civic EG6 B18C - Track Test

[@kdnhondaworks8669]

Glad you enjoyed it Dan. The tyres were a proper let down but it was to be expected in a “road going” spec. K24 coupe is ready for a rip whenever you are, and a DC2 come summer 👍🏻

[@dannyDC2]

Cheers dude !

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

The camera angle at 3:19 gives me serious Hot-Version vibes

[@dannyDC2]

Yeah that came out well to say the camera was basically on the back window. Zoom gains

[@oscarzt1652]

Best MOTORing

[@PinkGuy120]

Good thing you didn't lock up the rear brakes

[@ZainJafar]

💯 have put my H22 EG into a barrier because of it.

[@murdomcdonald9670]

Perfect old school honda simplicity

[@saiga1981]

B18C Never Die...!!!

[@alextaylor1300]

Nice vid man! Loved it. I think B series is such a good pick for the EF / EG chassis! More period correct and looks the part in the engine bay!

[@anton.unseen]

I've got a B18C2 EG hatch arriving on the truck in a few days, ever since I sold my B18 EK I've been feigning for another B Series hatch. After watching this I can't wait to get it prepped for trackdays!

[@jamiereid8199]

This video hitting right home, man I miss my old EG B18C

[@TermiCobraKid]

I could listen to that B18C all day.

[@quest8795]

K swaps are great, but the angry, buzzy noise that only a B series can make is special

[@helmetculture]

Danny don't be shy to make long content form we will watch it all!

[@cedriccope178]

After following your channel for a good minute now, you make it look so easy to drive a honda

[@realMaverickBuckley]

It's almost at the point where I don't wanna thrash anything with a B18C in it. If it pops ill need to sell my house to replace it

[@VxO4fame]

Good stuff. Hearing the the B/K engine plus VTEC is like hearing god talking from heaven 😁

[@chrisrogerson]

I’ve driven and own a K engine car, owned a H22A8, and driven an F20C. Never managed to get behind the wheel of a B16/18 car yet. It’s only my list! Anyone in Norfolk with anything fun 😂

[@jonboyy1327]

Gutted I missed you on the day. I was there myself with a friend & we didn’t realise it was you till we was on the journey back home. EG is a lovely car that I do know though. Superb driving as always DevvoDC2

[@chedhead3278]

Cheers Dan, nice video. The Golf is catching up? Oh ... that Golf. Yes.

[@captainsvlog]

Cracking video, and a cracking little car that! Spoke to Sam many a time, he even appeared on our livestream one time. Proper nice lad, does things proper,, no nonsense like :)

[@konholio2]

There is something special about the B and K engines. I havent felt anything alike. High revving engines with close ratio diffs are a recipe for fun when pushing. Absolute nightmare in traffic and on highways, but fun on back roads, track and general foolery.

[@nathangilmour4493]

I've just booked anglesey for the 24th April and taking my 2005 130i, has a few parts like coilovers, lsd, catless exhaust manifold. Welcome to do a review and drive

[@johnmitchell2269]

Perfect engine for any EG imo. The K20a are perfect for the EK's. Again just my opinion. Good save btw. Years of driving Hondas clearly helped in that situation.

[@HondaEnjoyer12]

Before b series engines went crazy expensive they were always better to fit an ek chasiss( as you didn’t need much extra fabrication) but now I agree with you

[@mo-r-racing]

its a common problem with the cambox lol, always easy to push the lens back up to its first position whilst attaching it, then forget to pivot it down again. Happens to me every time, 1st session footage always pointing up.

[@conorpagett5878]

B18C4 in that silver EK so pretty much even cars 👍🏼 Great driving on the day, especially in a car that isn't yours

[@trackshun]

Eg have rather better aerodynamics when just talking about having no grille. Eg’s are lighter, have much better chassis geometry, and a b18c4 has 30hp more or less, less.

[@NordenTV]

@@trackshun And taller gears with s9b. Still got LSD though. Unless that B18C4 has DC2 gearbox in it.

[@georgejelfs1347]

​@@trackshun I bet you sniff prit sticks and drive an Astra

[@conorpagett5878]

​@@trackshun That is my EK, I was clarifying the engine. Factory EGs are lighter, and stock B18C4s do make 30hp or so less. That isn't the case here as neither the engine or chassis is stock.

[@trackshun]

@@georgejelfs1347 haha nah man i got an f20b cb7 with a full upgraded suspension, 2015 Fg4 that rips in the mountains, f23/f22 turbo eg making 250hp for time attack on the track, and I’m working on a b20v EF hatch.

[@doderiolarkisso4038]

this is what i crave

[@ront5689]

Clean hatch, its fast 🔥🔥 good driving. Wana see it again with good tires 😎😎

[@Sloppyclock]

Was about to go to bed but one more video won't hurt

[@vinnyvtec8722]

Is this getting you inspired to get the teggy back on track? There's something nice about a b series engine. I used to have the civic vti aerodeck with the B18c4 engine, a few breathing and exhaust mods and stripped out. That was a blast to drive. Not as fun as my H22 BB4 prelude though. I miss my honda days. One day I'll get back into it. Nothing like a screaming 8k - 9k revving engine that you have to work to go fast(ish) lol.

[@gowienko22]

i miss my eg so bad after watching this

[@oscarzt1652]

i love my focus (people will wonder why) but damn i want a honda like this

[@andrewcruickshank2093]

Good video, I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for the effort your putting into your videos Dan.

[@MKT_19]

Gotta get mine done, got a real hankering for the VTECs. Looking forward to the coupe vid 👌

[@dannyDC2]

coupe vid is mega

[@TuanTran-lz6ui]

Sounds so good. Makes me want to build another Honda

[@mikehipperson]

I love the 'G' metering device hanging from the mirror! 🤣🤣🤣

[@MARCFRP]

Great to see an eg with a b18c, so many now getting k swapped. Adore the old b series, so raw, especially the b18c, becoming a rare sight under the bonnet now. I thought it was my car for a sec, i to have a yellow eg, b18c, semi stripped etc. Funnily enough I also have ado8 r tyres, although not for much longer after watching this. Great driving as always, well held!!

[@tbotnoblett]

Good work lad

[@florian_montuzet]

It's still performing well even on old tyres. Looks like it don't has a lot of camber too. But as always amazing driving Danny !

[@kdnhondaworks8669]

It used to run a much stiffer spring/shock and 225 wide A048 all round. It was incredible when it was more track focused but needs must meant it had to see some road miles hence the lack of big rear arb, softer rates and old tyres 😅

[@florian_montuzet]

@@kdnhondaworks8669 it's still doing the job. How much camber it have ? I love this kind of car. You can anything you want with it. Trackday or roadtrip.

[@kdnhondaworks8669]

@@florian_montuzet As is it has about -3deg front and the same rear, parallel toe all round. With the wider/grippier set up I ran -4.5F and -3.5R, 1mm total toe out rear and parallel up front.

I have the same car except right hand drive and black Si.👍😎🤘🔰. Any Qtr. Mile times? I ran mine one time had a slow start then slowed down at the 1000ft thinking it was the end and then got back on the gas and still got a 14.5 sec. Quarter mile. Yellow is Awesome, and so was the video. 👍

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

The problem is understeer Comin out. The driver is compensating his entry around that, and don’t feel it anymore

[@duddsification]

Could almost do with a brake bias valve to send less pressure to the back

[@redliner999]

i wish i could drive like you buddy... absolute top tier driving and the car is just peRfect;D

[@arronday577]

Looks a nice example of a eg this 👌good to see one staying with the b series. What can be done to stop the rear brakes locking I see you always mention this in the dc2/eg would it be better to stay with the 242 rears over the 262

[@joe187976]

Im a mb6 with the b18c4 engine would it be much of a difference putting the b18c type r engine into it.

[@e46_supercharged]

Yes lad! Love an EG6. Sure they are my old Speedline wheels I had on my EG6 Sir 🤔

[@Chxbz]

If you’re from Scunthorpe way, yes they likely are. Black EG was it? Bought them years ago from you if so 😅

[@mariandin]

May I ask why people are removing front ARB on light FWD cars?

[@Szeiker]

The best car ever produced

[@AngryAndyToth]

Danny, what are your thoughts on tracking a daily driver. Obviously not absolutely hammering it on a regular basis but I recently lost my dedicated track car but the itch is always there. I’m so tempted to just track the daily so it would be nice to get your thoughts or even advice on it? Cheers

[@dannyDC2]

Send it

[@Aliens_Gonna_Get_Ya]

Always luv’n gettin’ sent out on sketchy tyres…!!! 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

[@jdm-r2524]

As I just seen this video. Love it man. As I have a JDM Type-R motor myself. Just love it she screams. As I am looking for a good steering wheel. I like yours what brand and size. Thanks.

[@EliteAlex000]

That E36 was cool! What is the story with that, as is registered as a 1.9, so 316/318? Future ‘wiltdot’?

[@rockyroad1780]

Haven’t seen anyone mention it in a while so I’d best ask… Where is your red EG?

[@GoldenDumpling]

Can you give some insight on how an EG chassis feels vs a regular Integra.. Same suspension geometry, but does the Integra have a more rigid body or other characteristic that helps it handle better, given a similar suspension/tire setup? I'm thinking of swapping the B18C from my Integra into one of these EG hatches, for street use. I've always liked the EG bubble hatch look.

[@dannyDC2]

The difference is negligible

[@PT82]

Agree with Danny. I’ve owned a k swap DC2 and EG. The exact parts taken from one to another. Both pretty much the same despite what the die hard fans of each might say.

[@GoldenDumpling]

​@@dannyDC2 Great to know! I was afraid the EG would feel less controlled/sloppy if the body were to flex under suspension load, thanks for the insight. Few people have driven them as much as you while riding the limit, so I'm really glad to hear this. The old Honda's aren't the fastest or the drift-iest, but the feedback through the wheel on the 90s double wishbone models, as well as through gear box, make them a hoot and memorable. Their lightness only helps accentuate these factors. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the DC2.

[@ZainJafar]

Traction bar, OEM rear sway bar and proper coilovers on an EG and it becomes almost intuitive in terms of handling.

[@mabskha7917]

how come the car hasn't got a rear anti roll bar? wouldn't this give the car understeer characteristics

[@kdnhondaworks8669]

I just never got round to fitting it. When the car had A048 tyres (225/45/16 all round), stiffer coilovers/spring rates and larger brakes it never really felt like it 'needed' one. The setup you see in the video is aimed towards being a road car. Much softer, narrower tyre etc.

[@s.a.i.v]

You are a very good driver. I like watching videos that review vehicles, which you do but it seems like something is missing. Maybe keep show some lap times so we can compare.

[@woodyr5gt113]

If you had the choice of a standard Impreza or a Megan cup for a fun track day car which would you pick? Epic content again 👌🏻

[@garethwillis]

For track a megane cup no doubt, anything else impreza

[@woodyr5gt113]

I only ask as I’m doing a deal for my car.. I have seen plenty of cups for sure on track.

[@garethwillis]

@@woodyr5gt113 they handle amazingly well, they're pretty cheap and less complicated to fix. Imprezas offer a lot but high speed track driving isn't really ideal for 4wd although it's still fun. So again just track then megane cup but if its for anything else and road use then Impreza

[@kantina4765]

@@garethwillis what makes you say awd isn't good for track use? it's got a history of being banned from racing series due to being a huge advantage
