UNCOVERING the TRUTH BEHIND the $100 EK Civic Hatchback (EP.3)

[@dose_of_j]

Super pumped for this series 🔥 The Ek and Sol will definitely have to show outttt next season

[@ChrisLowpes]

We definitely need to!

[@KajanRavindran]

Cant wait to follow this series and hopefully see it around the city at some point 🙌🏽

[@ChrisLowpes]

I appreciate it! I got a ton of content coming on it!

The intake manifold looks like a stock 96+ B18B1 manifold, and the off-road use only is probably from a jumper harness to make the stock engine harness work with a different OBD plug style ECU. Also the climate control and radio bezel is all 96-98 sruff, so someone went through the very labor intensive job (have to replace the heater core) of reverting back from 99-00 or the car is actually a 96-98. Feel free to reach out about EK and B series info, I know entirely way too much about them and have built multiple of them from bare chassis. P.S. - I also do a ton of Fit stuff.

[@ChrisLowpes]

So this comment made me triple check it and it is a 2000, the vin number and all matches! I’ll definitely have questions in the future! I appreciate you watching!

[@kevinkyser1274]

It looks like a fun project….I can’t wait till the next episode!

[@ChrisLowpes]

Thanks for watching!

[@rorodesignspowdercoating]

Matte bronze wheels lets gooooooo 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@ChrisLowpes]

Really thinking about it!

[@reproducable]

Somebody probably needs that stock exhaust lol.

[@ChrisLowpes]

I’m so excited to get into building this, comment what you want to see done!

[@nogiandtoby]

Fix the brake light driver side !!!!

[@ChrisLowpes]

Lmao I’ll add it to the list!

[@argen809]

No offense to the people who did the giveaway of the car but in my eyes that car is more of a hassle to own than a prideful piece, it’s illegal all over the place from being converted to obd1 making emissions-inspection impossible (depending where you live) solely expressing my opinion but it’s easier to get rid of it and take the money as a lottery ticket sort of deal where you can multiply your initial $100 dollar investment into 3500-4000

[@Sebs.garage_]

Seems like a typical exterior only stance build, but the car underneath is plagued with issues. I agree that it should be better for a giveaway, but it was a raffle car so I guess it doesn't have to meet the same standards.

[@williamsaad6833]

The stance/"hellaflush" shoud be reverted. It's so stupid, unsafe and undrivable. I love mods but don't you dare come here in QC with that stance. It won't take more than a couple of minutes before getting a fat ticket or towed and 24 hrs to revert it back. And our roads suck so you'll scrape everywhere lol

[@chriswright4865]

B18b are solid af especially on boost

[@ChrisLowpes]

That’s what I’m thinking of doing!

[@daynerampersad8968]

you should do a android/apple carplay double in to bring the infotainment into this decade, S2k steering wheel and seats, and 99 front conversion

[@ChrisLowpes]

Great idea!

[@sharefomar1152]

Keep it slammed maybe on air, but fix the camber, boost it, rsx dash and seat swap

[@ChrisLowpes]

Good idea!

[@UrGrandad420]

Hey man, love the series do you know the color code?

[@Hi-Tempo]

I need to know where to buy that wing

[@gupreme]

Based on the preface climate control i think your EK is a 96-98. I don’t think the front end was converted either.

[@ChrisLowpes]

I thought so too but the vin states it’s a 2000, I wish it was a 96-98 then I could put it under classic car insurance 😂

[@angelrico5056]

Hell yah

[@ChrisLowpes]

💪🏼

[@07wrxsubie]

Championship white if you’re painting!

[@ChrisLowpes]

I have a few ideas 🤔

[@tophmedia]

Did you buy this from Justin? Looks just like his hatch lol

[@Thomsoncreatives]

Taffeta white bro

[@Brady_H]

Profit! You paid $99.75 for the civic! Less than a $100 civic.

[@ChrisLowpes]

Lmao you’re right!

[@NotoriousZNT]

not bad for 100 bones

[@ChrisLowpes]

Right!

[@FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

You can hide your weed in there

[@ChrisLowpes]

😂

[@erickpromontor8777]

Put a K-series on it lol

[@ChrisLowpes]

I’ve done that, I may boost this one!

[@erickpromontor8777]

Yeah bro I know I have been watching since you had the csx you did kill it on that build keep it up!

[@subaruej2079]
