The WORLD’S Best Modified Honda Civic Type R EK9!! In Depth Walkaround! Dream Builds Episode 1! 4K

[@SQUIZZLER24]

This is genuinely a perfect video on a car for me. Full of detailed engineering and mechanical information, a great driving section and all really well put together in editing. No revbashing or unnecessary shouting and screaming, no silly effects or manufactured drama, just proper enthusiasts having an in-depth chat about an incredible car. Keep up the great work!

[@OllyRoss]

Ah man! This is exactly what I am trying to create with this series so I am stoked that is how it has come across! Appreciate you taking the time to watch it!

[@cruztraveler]

Anyone who hears VTEC for their first time becomes instantly hooked and appreciates Japanese engineering. Bravo 👏

[@HarryWangHungLo]

I agree! My brother swapped a B16 into his base model 2000 Civic coupe. I drove it and WOW!!! What a rush! I was shifting around 4500-5000ish. He said to let it rip up to 8000 at every gear. The engine went through each gear effortlessly. I wouldn’t feel confident doing that to it’s competitors, if any, at that time.

[@mrbookends]

As a 44 year old, I can't tell you how badly I miss my EK...... I had it way back in college and couldn't wait to "upgrade" and now I know so much better. /sigh

[@jeremyhoughton9129]

Same I know exactly how you feel😢

[@MrDragonfly]

Man, I know that exact feeling. We even couldn't care less about our girlfriend(s) if the car got "sick". Ah, memories

[@willstuart6666]

Im with you. I'm 40. I miss my white 93 prelude. I missed it so much I went out and bought a 2024 Type R..... Does a pretty good job of scratching that itch and it can do family duties. Wife still isn't happy about it though

[@jermaineesseboom381]

As a 44 year old I will NEVER sell my midori k24 turbo ek

[@haidari4]

Absolutely stunning! Don’t think there’s enough credit on here to the owner. Incredible attention to detail, nice to see the some passion for old Hondas 👌🏽

[@7eamGhast]

The dedication to keep fender liners and close the gap in the fenders is SICK

[@OllyRoss]

Yeah, that is absolutely crazy! Such attention to detail

[@chillfill88]

EK's or EG's with k20 inside are just ❤❤❤❤

[@tdoteva4973]

If was a ej9/ek4 yeah but strip out that legendary b16b that's a dam shame

[@TheBb6prelude]

F20b !!

[@OllyRoss]

For sure!!

[@jewwyjones9760]

Yeah but only if you choose the right oil pan, ask me how I know 😬😮🤬.

[@ChunkyBoYPayUp]

@@TheBb6preludeNot that popular tbh

[@alexwinter6720]

Lovely to see how jealous people are in the comments 😂 'How much oil does it burn?' 'The panel gaps are distracting' 'Shame about the B16a' 'Whats that rattling noise at 31:40' Come on guys just accept this is the cleanest EK9 build in the country and stop trying to slander it

[@jamesborek8125]

Agreed. What a beauty, and the owner really seems to love it. While I love the K series as an engine, for me it's like seeing an LS V8 under the hood of an American muscle car. It's "technically" a better engine, but it just doesn't look right IMO, but race car stuff, yeah it works.

[@OllyRoss]

Couldn’t agree more man! Always so much hate. Just enjoy it for what it is!

[@Sander_Salamander]

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a video like this where I wouldn’t change a single thing, but this is one. Not only that but the owner did things I wouldn’t have thought of that I love. Absolute perfection! And that vtec crossover!!!

[@OllyRoss]

Couldn't agree more! It is a masterpiece!

[@maman89]

White honda with CE28 is a match made in car heaven.

[@OllyRoss]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@mrgizmo182]

Incredible video man! I’ve seen Andy’s Civic many times at the shows and even drove to Mimms once with him. Great car, top bloke.

[@OllyRoss]

I have even more respect for the car now that I know all these cool details too! So rad!

[@user-A-A-RON]

The EK is one of if not THE best body style Honda ever made. ❤

[@bombman50]

K20 ITB and EK is just a perfect matchup

[@OllyRoss]

A match made in heaven!

[@xil_ef8829]

I love the build, everything fits so well together Only thing I would cange is the rear bumper but that's only personal preference and I have to admit that I still love it

[@OllyRoss]

It is sick isn’t it! Fair enough, each to their own. I love it, it’s so rad that it is functional too!

[@dmystro7585]

This is inspiration to start modding my dc5

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely! Got to be done!

[@johnmitchell2269]

HondR have done an amazing job with this very special car. I've never come across any EK9 as impressive as this one.

[@OllyRoss]

They really have! Such an impressive build!

[@TrackSol]

Awesome build and even better it's a driver! Andy's built a primo Honda!

[@OllyRoss]

It’s the ultimate build really. Looks so good on the road too!

[@unholyknight86]

the induction noise with the vtec crossover sounds so good!

[@OllyRoss]

I definitely wasn’t expecting it to be THAT good!

[@JesseCollingham]

Cracking video this mate!

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Really appreciate that! Been something I’ve wanted to do for a few years. I even mentioned it to Andy a few times too! So glad I finally got it done

[@TRWM735]

That Engine bay is amazing. It looks immaculate. Also a really nice guy. Enjoying this series so far :)

[@OllyRoss]

Pretty much art! Haha! Thanks man!

[@Danny84.]

Hes gone above and beyond with that car amazing

[@OllyRoss]

He really has! So sick!

[@Mauro199pascal]

that guy know what he wants for his car AMazing!!

[@OllyRoss]

He really does! So rad to talk it through with him!

[@celuiquipeut6527]

ITB'S!!! The best invention after the wheel.

[@PKDesigns2011]

Great looking car, awesome work on it, Ty for sharing ...

[@back2thepavement]

Great vid, a lot of info right there plus the car is beautiful. That engine bay is so clean that it’s sick, I’m pretty sure I am not the only one that would love to see and hear it do some pulls.

[@hunkydory419]

Damn, I love ITB setups. The sound is so engaging. It really does compliment and have that B series pure roar. Which is why I always hated when people would destroy a B series setup with a loud and raspy cat back exhaust system.

[@OllyRoss]

They are incredible! Pure engine joy!

[@leebee095]

Na B series does drive better with a good exhaust. They need to breath but has to he a good exhaust with a good muffler.

[@Patrick94GSR]

still have my 94 Integra GSR with the stock dual-runner IM and stock exhaust. Even with that, the sound at the top of 2nd and 3rd gear VTEC with short runners open, sounds badass.

[@craiggibson3523]

What an incredible sound when going through the gears, that low down deep rattle flutter is awesome tho. Best ek9 in uk by a mile

[@OllyRoss]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@newripdj]

What a great car mate , first time I’ve heard it go!! Love it mate .

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Me too to be fair! Sounds so good!

[@TDEmedia_]

This content is the way forward! Absolute belter of a first episode. Definitely following along!

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! It has been an idea for a while so I’m glad that it has been received with such positivity. I have a couple of cars in mind for this series but always open to suggestions of cars that are at this sort of level

[@iM3M0]

That’s one helluva nice build bud. Video went by way too quick. And definitely nice to see you driving and enjoying it!!! By far the best part!

[@2jj-k3x]

Someone that knows what’s what. Not just reiterating what big Dave his “tuner” told him

[@OllyRoss]

For sure! So much thought has gone into this build!

[@kaelillo]

wow that car is beautiful and the owner is a legend 🙌

[@OllyRoss]

It really is and he absolutely is! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@globaltripping3654]

Very clean Build ❤

[@OllyRoss]

It really is! 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@danielmiller6983]

Awe man , nothing rice about that. Absolutely stunning.. great build. Your channel is going to blow up. Great content!!!

[@OllyRoss]

It is so sick isn’t it!? Oh, thanks man! I hope that is the case! Haha

[@Curi0u50ne]

Soo good ….I know a trip to the Nurb and hand Micha the keys….Now your talking !!!

[@OllyRoss]

That would be a wild one!

[@NewEarth79]

That's perfection!!

[@OllyRoss]

It really is!

[@tegboy]

Great video. And 100% best Ek9 in the uk.

[@OllyRoss]

Appreciate it man! I would have to agree

[@trapt29]

My dream car. Short story, I wanted an EK9 when I was on my early teens but obviously they were not legal in the states back then. I waited a few years and contacted some importers and landed on a place in Florida. While not technically legal the way he was supposed to bring it in was. Got a loan for $15k and wired him the full amount. Months go by, little communication, some pictures were sent etc. Was told a 8 months in that it was destroyed in a hurricane that hit Florida. Was able to recoup $10k of it but ended up not seeing the other $5k. Now I'm an old man with a good paying job and can't afford to import one or buy new because of how expensive they are now. Sad

[@OllyRoss]

Damn! That is a wild story! Importing one from the UK could be an option as they might be cheaper that straight from Japan 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@trapt29]

@OllyRoss it was a stressful situation for sure. I'm retiring in a few years, and if I have some money left after buying a house I will look into that.

[@Mostlycars888]

Awesome build with some delicious parts😍 that engine bay & crossover sound too🤤

[@OllyRoss]

Pretty much summed up the reason for making this video! Haha

[@Maxire]

Amazing build!

[@OllyRoss]

Amazing isn’t it!?

[@lennox2650]

Amazing video with so much detail 🔥❤️.

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! That was what I wanted to create! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@chrisrogerson]

This videos just cost me a fortune! Now I’ve got to add ITBs to my K20 build 😂

[@OllyRoss]

Hahahahaha! I mean… it would be worth it! 😂😂😂

[@joshuaberks3777]

Legendary Car and A Legendary Owner. Awesome video. 👌👌👌

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely! Appreciate it man!

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Quality build 🔥masterpiece

[@davidwhittaker9511]

Beautiful Build!

[@ryanmac8829]

I will always have a soft spot for this gen of civic, hatch or coupe. Especially with a tuned B series. It's a beautiful build with the K, ngl. I just like the B series.

[@ajuel915]

Awesome video and an amazing EK9 .. 👊

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! Appreciate it! It is incredible isn’t it!

[@mrdanielknight]

Great video mate and what an incredible build!

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Pretty insane isn’t it!

[@samjenkins1996]

Such a sick and all around stunning car 🔥

[@OllyRoss]

100%

[@jeffreywong5112]

That wire tuck is insane!

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely wild isn't it!

[@kid.l.b_gaming3338]

Recently saw this car at a show in milton keynes...even more impressive in person....and the vtec crossover on them...ITBs im lucky enough to not daily my ep3 and this may be the inspration i needed to go ITB

[@OllyRoss]

I would have to agree! Absolutely insane in person! Looks like you have found your set up then!

[@ky_frank4992]

Awesome, clean and simple build. May I know what interface is installed on the headunit to get the gauges on the screen ?

[@andybguitarist]

It is by Zada-Tech

[@widedolph3]

Defilitly one of the best videos you’ve done so far 👍 👍 👍

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@abakdpotato]

That mufucka sounds like a mixture between a 4cyl, 8, and 10, that is cool af on so many levels bro and it still has that iconic Vtec raspy scream

[@OllyRoss]

It’s crazy isn’t it!? Such a unique sound!

[@SvetGolovkin1462]

Need to see this in the track for time attackkk

[@vlow714]

Screamin! ❤

[@OllyRoss]

For sure! Such a great sound!

[@giovannirossi-p2y]

Awesome car!! Wonderful vtec crossover sound!!!!❤

[@OllyRoss]

It is unreal! What a crazy sound to come from it! I knew it would be good but I wasn't expecting it to be like THAT!! Haha

[@andygunning868]

Vtec heaven....that crossover is reminds me of a b series

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely! Definitely not what I was expecting

[@shannenmackenzie]

Stunning 🤩

[@OllyRoss]

100% agree!

[@V2Movement]

An amazing build mate ❤

[@OllyRoss]

It really is! Thanks for watching!

[@skv23]

Yes! Beautiful car!

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely!

[@simtruckerbygeorge1784]

Old but Gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@OllyRoss]

For sure! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@pringlebatch]

Not a car person myself! ...but I'd watch the Olly Ross Full Unabridged Reading of the Yellow Pages if it existed 😅 Keep being a beautiful car man, Man xxx

[@OllyRoss]

Hahahaha! You are too kind!

[@Johndavis6192]

I drive a Nissan maxima 2017 sl. Never drove a car like this but I’m interested. Beautiful build.

[@OllyRoss]

This would be very different indeed! Haha. Totally agree though, it really is a stunning build

[@FooTude]

😳 ❤️ this!

[@OllyRoss]

Insane car isn’t it!!

[@TobyKnights]

Mega car, mega video!! Had an EK9 years ago, now have a DC5 so it’s the ultimate mash up for me ❤ Been following Andy on IG for years.. Mint EK9 👌

[@OllyRoss]

Thanks man! Yeah, a mash up of your two cars! Haha

[@BenjaminKarslund]

I mean Electric cars will NEVER reach this level of joy! Like never ever! It’s like a car without a soul compared to this nice Honda! 🤤

[@OllyRoss]

I agree! This is why I can’t think of getting an electric car!

[@richardvowler1109]

Absolutely stunning build Andy seems like a stand up guy. Would like to know how much the engine build cost

[@OllyRoss]

It and he really is. Unfortunately I don’t know how much it cost but I can’t imagine it was cheap

[@SilverScarletSpider]

my favorite car is the Honda Integra DC5

[@OllyRoss]

They are great cars

[@nat2x283]

Love this car! What wheel offset do you have on this car?

[@andybguitarist]

Et 42

[@illusivebounce]

this is the dream. i’ve literally never seen another car i want as much as i want this 😍🔥 unbelievable and great video

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely! The ultimate EK9! Pure dream build!

[@nuriharon1]

This question for the owner. Could you tell me how to delete the SRS. I plan to change the steering wheels. TQ.

[@Davidityourself]

have to agree with the owner, be one off, this car is nicely built!!!!

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely! Just build the car how you want to

[@LongNguyen-mp6tg]

Overall beautiful car!! But I’m just wondering if that’s a real Magen lip? Cause I owned a Mugen lip on my hatch and the vent holes were not cut out, and I noticed this one had its vents cut out.

[@andybguitarist]

You are correct, they come from Mugen as filled. You can then cut them out if you choose. It’s definitely genuine comparing it side by side to a rep

[@eriklethdanielsen3968]

I had a EK with a Spersprint exsorst perfect sound quit wen driving, and laud at high rpm

[@tomc878]

No filters for the ITB's?

[@OllyRoss]

There is a foam filter that has a quick release. It was taken off for the video but was put back on when we went for a drive

[@Mk4heavenHD]

What a lovey ek9 props to the owner👏… This inspires me to make my EK better for sure.

[@OllyRoss]

This is the ultimate inspiration for any Honda build really! So amazing

[@davidd727]

Does anybody know where I can purchase the carbon fiber rear quarter glass strips that he had?

[@OllyRoss]

I would drop Andy a message on instagram. There is a link to it in the video description 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@upbeatmantis86]

31:40 thats sound a little weird, whats that rattling noise?

[@OllyRoss]

Rattling noise? I can’t hear it

[@Danilove19]

I like the aem gauge 2

[@OllyRoss]

Nice!

[@Synept]

could you feature k20_rtx

[@OllyRoss]

Another one of HondR’s crazy cars!

[@standup4wutubelieve964]

Mother of god I’ve fell in love ❤❤❤❤

[@OllyRoss]

It’s unbelievable isn’t it!?

[@DavidGarcia-oi5nt]

That's fkn beautiful omg

[@OllyRoss]

100% agree

[@huktuned]

What do you film with ?

[@OllyRoss]

I shot this on a Panasonic GH5 with a Canon 17-40mm lens. The rolling shots where using that camera with a DJI Ronin S gimbal and the audio is recorded using the DJI mics

[@steve_arcenio]

dream ek9

[@AlanConnolly-b3j]

How much oil does it burn ?

[@OllyRoss]

I can only assume it’s the same as every other K20…

[@HikaruIchijoe]

Why would you cut a hole on each side of the Mugen type SS lip? And why put two bolts on each side?

[@andybguitarist]

Mugens own catalog image of the lip has the holes cut out and the OE lip has two screw fittings per side

[@albopastrami9269]

Take it to Misha !

[@johnbabcock9766]

You know it’s a show car when you start taking about skunk2 lower control arms. 😂

[@OllyRoss]

A bit of bling for an already impressive build

[@Youtube_executive999]

I prefer turbo , but this car really nice as well

[@OllyRoss]

Turbos are very cool. But imagine having the best of each… have this as your N/A car, have a turbo car and have a supercharged car too

[@b1g_8oi5]

i wouldnt get rid off EK9 stock interior it is already perfect in stock

[@OllyRoss]

It is pretty great! That is why I have the seats in my car

[@ghost.driversuk]

A hood, ITS A BONNET HERE, 😂 great build, shame about the B16B, the heart of a EK9.

[@ramonbriones4487]

We call it a lid over here 😂

[@OllyRoss]

Haha! I knew this would get someone! 😂😂😂 I see your point but if you are going to do a swap… this is the one to do

[@ciastek4502]

Dream 🥹

[@OllyRoss]

Absolutely

[@robertvandeveer1846]

The UV hasn’t hurt the headlights… yes, you’re in England!!!!

[@OllyRoss]

Hahaha! I wish this was true!

[@Danilove19]

Aem series 2

[@OllyRoss]

👍🏻

[@Danilove19]

Honda Civic ek9 k20 turbo

[@OllyRoss]

No turbo on this one

[@tommy_kaira733]

Why is he sounding like John Barnes😂😂😂

[@itotech7845]

I regret trading my EK9. That’s was over 10 yrs ago and I still get mad. My wife does too lol

[@OllyRoss]

That is emotional! Maybe there will be another in the future?!

[@waynewayne-kv2fk]

Airbag delete ?🥲

[@OllyRoss]

Steering wheel one gone too! Harnesses though… 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@itsjussjerry]

That mugen lip looks fake. They usually don’t have the cut out

[@andybguitarist]

In Mugens own catalog image for the lip they have cut them out

[@AlexPerez-nb7ts]

Moo-gen not mew-gen
