How to BUILD a 1997 Honda Civic: MUGEN Inspired!

[@aycarambas]

That engine bay is marvelous this man has mad love for his ride much respect

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

17 years later and he still in love.

[@Macfrugal_]

Those real mugen parts are worth 5x’s more than the actual car

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

I hear ya man. Thanks for the love.

And ?

Each individual part* 😹

[@fpd-6912]

​​@@hondamanvtec2894 nothing just showing these rare classic japanese parts are highly over priced nowaday the actual mugen wing is around 1700$ in our country(near japan

[@cetcivic5019]

ive seen this car online so many times..its beautiful,so simple and subtle yet, loaded with expensive ,rare parts.

Man that guy is bn all over the plays n shit super humble no hood n talking to a cop thats savage

[@taylermodvesa3927]

Its a cultural thing, I noticed in usa cops vibe and are more friendly with white anglo people and they relate better . specially lots of usa anglo cops have military fantasies. As half Iraqi half Dominican usa white cops dont like me lol, i would get a ticket for wearing the wrong shoes.

Thank you for tuning in man. I appreciate your time.

[@ChristopheZ]

cool Civic!!!! remind me of the one that a friend used to have!! little story : One time , she came out of work at 5pm ( Macy's at the Mall in Orlando, FL) and the car was sitting on blocks!!!! someone had stolen her wheels in broad daytime!!

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Yea man, bummer that happen. That is the down side to having old school cars.

[@drewski5577]

Rare parts thanks for sharing never seen that mugen slot cover by the radio clean clean 🧼 build dont leave that out in the street 😂

Finally a Honda Mag flash back. 1st Nads from Hoonigan gets free EG hatchback built by the team and lastly the reminisce of 2000s from this car 20yrs later.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

I appreciate your time Marios. THank you for the positive comment.

[@jacobfleischer5545]

Great stories connected to this car! I love hearing stuff like this. Everyone is in such a hurry to finish a car. It’s about the experiences on the way, not the finished product. If you ever finish it, might as well sell it.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

I hear ya Jacob. Taking your time is the fun part. Sourcing parts and meeting people is the fun thing to do.

[@123wsz]

This is sick man, love this guy’s story; another banger vid from automotive anatomy

I think so too! Thanks for watching man.

[@darrenbull3622]

This car is awesome! Love all the Mugen parts, I must admit I’m a bit of a Mugen fan myself 👍👍 you can definitely tell that a lot of hart and soul went into this build! Hope the owner goes for a Mugen steering wheel next. 👍👍😃😃😃

[@_onxacomeup]

This video made me get 1997 Civic coupe I’ve met Chris personally him and his car were a big inspiration for my build really cool dude glad I was able to meet him eibach meet 2022

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Chris is a super down to earth guy. He also serves in the military and we are thankful for that. Thank you for the support.

[@waynehorne6509]

Love the ek's bro

[@joshyang91]

Beautiful car man! This is why i have kept my 92 si hatch for so long. Love to hear everyones story

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Couldn't agree more! A civic can be done in so many way but the stories will always be special and different.

[@jasondebraux6695]

Now this is a classic build. Salute for staying loyal to the car you built.

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

Thank you for your time Jason.

[@YoungPrior]

I really like this guy and his car. I share the same love for this chassis and this is inspiring

[@jermainrmartinez4689]

The story of how he found that lip at a Auto Hobby Center on a Military base is LEGIT!!! That's how I found my seats for a '93 EX coupe when I was stationed at Ft. Hood! The younger E-1 thru E-4 blow their money easily on bs stuff if they're living in the barracks. As promised on IG (@nexgen_r7) I showed my students this video in class and few them appreciate the build we're doing even more. Lately on my silver '97 LX sedan in the Auto shop. Great interview!!! SoCal is the Mecca for the Honda scene

[@AutomotiveAnatomy]

hahaha i should of joined the military to get the rare parts lol Thank you for being super supportive and please say HI to your students from my end. What are you guys working on for the sedan? I appreciate the support and yes Socal is the MECA

[@jermainrmartinez4689]

@@AutomotiveAnatomy I bought the car as a daily...sight unseen I know😑 But I knew what would happen to it if the car was sold to some other guys aka stripped apart for the Honda Domani parts & B-series swap. Long story short, since early Oct. til now, we've turned into using it as " lesson plans" for sections on Auto Brakes, Electrical, and Suspension systems so far! A lot of parts have been replaced, repaired or upgraded. Also trying to show them that keeping it simple & clean goes a long way

[@benjamincho4819]

GORGEOUS EK!

Predetonation puts so much stress on the bearings. If you cant find any 93, throw some octane booster in it. Or even upgrade the fuel system to run e85
