My Budget Daily Driver - 1996 Honda Civic EJ9 [4K]

[@mohamedbaradji7504]

The reason why the car is slow is so that people can take their time to admire it.

[@TheDriversDen]

This is now my go-to excuse for a slow car, quality haha!

[@bllxy8226]

That’s a future classic 👌

[@TheDriversDen]

You reckon? I’d love to hang onto it…

[@joaovictor5800]

I thinks already it's a classic

[@TheDriversDen]

@@joaovictor5800 I think it's got another 13 years before I can register it as a historic vehicle here in the UK and reap the benefits, but it's now old enough to qualify for some "classic" events near me :)

[@sir_christmas_leopold_duckson]

I haven't seen one of these on the road here in the States in years now. Any time I do come across someone selling one, they're wanting an absolutely insane amount for it.

Most underatted man on youtube

[@TheDriversDen]

Thank you kindly, that one's made my day!

[@213fc]

Love the way this car looks

[@TheDriversDen]

It's slow as hell but I do think I lucked out with the colour! Thanks for watching!

[@dusterpl6093]

she's a beaut! two weeks ago i bought a 2000 ej9 as my first car. it's completely stock, and in pretty damn good condition, especially for the money. already spent like nearly half of the price i paid on new parts. end goal is a clean ek9 lookalike, with either b18c4 or h22a7 swap, once i'll graduate and get a job, i'll be saving money to achieve that goal :)

[@TheDriversDen]

Hell yea! B18 or H22 swap would make the world of a difference. Shall we have a friendly race to see who gets an engine in first? Thanks for swinging by!

[@dusterpl6093]

@@TheDriversDen lol sure, but i already know i've lost. it's easily gonna take 2+ years for me 😭

[@TheDriversDen]

@@dusterpl6093 My pockets are empty, it's gonna take some time too haha!

[@aphexrobinson2022]

[@TheDriversDen]

That's what I like to hear, looks tidy bud! Thanks for watching!

[@KerryStonham]

Superb video ! keep them coming

[@TheDriversDen]

@@KerryStonham Thank you!!

[@eurotom288]

The best looking Hatchback ever made, I think, take care.

[@TheDriversDen]

I may agree with you on that one, particularly a kitted out EK9! Thanks for stopping by!

[@blade8768]

My very first car was a 1989 Honda prelude 3rd gen, 2 years later, brought a honda civic FN2, 18 months later sold that, brought a house had to drive the Mrs clio for 2 years, then for my 3rd car, brought another FN2 😂 I work for a car dealership and have drove alot of cars, I still think Hondas are unmatched for the money.

[@TheDriversDen]

Absolutely love a prelude, and the FN shape has grown massively on me in the last couple of years. Glad to hear you're back in a Honda bud, I think they're epic value for money too. Reliable and enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by, I'll be doing more Honda content soon :)

[@amystonham9967]

Hahahaha, great video dude!

[@TheDriversDen]

@@amystonham9967 Thank youuu!

[@sicelomasuku5554]

[@a4eyesjohno]

Good times fitting the coilovers

[@TheDriversDen]

@@a4eyesjohno I left Tune feeling like a cool kid

[@viss86]

if anyone knows the name of the rims please tell me. Epic car btw

[@TheDriversDen]

Thank you! And I'd love to know too. They're reasonably light, but they are multifit PCD. Hard to tell if they're anything good & rare or just a random rep set haha

[@gotRdunn]

Hey K 24 block, k20 head. Change pistons. 250 hp. Be safe do your research

[@TheDriversDen]

Even K stuff is daft money now, but every now and then bargains do still pop up. K may be the way, thanks!

[@lukeanderson4474]

B16. I’ve heard you’re scared

[@TheDriversDen]

@@lukeanderson4474 I am scared, and poor. But also foolish

[@mosesolivera510]

How much you get the car for n how many miles ?

[@TheDriversDen]

Bought it on 51K. Paid way too much for it, but the time was right and I'm a sucker if I like something. 2K GBP I think, but it's probably worth less than half haha

[@sir_christmas_leopold_duckson]

@@TheDriversDen Bro, are you serious? 2k pounds and I'm assuming 51k kilometers? That car is barely broken in. The same one would sell for 4 - 5 times that much in the US.

[@Glazpho]

i want to hear it without the muffler

[@TheDriversDen]

It sounds absolutely terrible, but I’ll record a clip for you in the next video 😂🫡

[@Glazpho]

@@TheDriversDen thank you! It's because I have the same car and I want to hear it before I do anything with my exhaust 😂😂
