I love that we not only see in car footage but also see and hear the broadcast with commentary

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks! The broadcast is an excellent team and provide a lot of insight into what's going on during the race!

[@turquoisetortoise3789]

definitely, its a huge reason i subbed

[@S2000Pat]

Cutting together live feed and in car footage is such a good idea.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks dude! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KaiserRolls]

These are seriously the most well put together racing videos/vlogs out there

[@EricKutilRacing]

You gotta be kidding ha! Thanks man. That means a lot!

[@shiftlifegarage3284]

Awesome driving brother much love from upstate new York the sticks

[@camerongrady580]

That door-to-door lap was AMAZING to watch. Just hate you didn't pull ahead in the end! Fantastic coverage.

[@bhumiriady]

As always, I really enjoyed watching the vlog so much! Also, it's interesting to see the battle between the EG and FD2 Civic sedans in GLTC.^^

[@JacobMueller]

ASM needs to start running fleet vehicle tags. Great racing as always, literally sat up in my seat at the end of the first race.

[@andrewandreas5875]

The way you edit these videos make them so enjoyable!

[@EricKutilRacing]

I appreciate that a ton!

[@MiniMightyMike]

2 corvettes, 2 hondas, this is epic.

[@frankchang7454]

rust free eg are impossible to find now in my area even the sedans. That is why when I saw a rotted out 94 hatch no one wanted for 3k I bought it....didn't even try to low ball. Has no floors or quarters but all the suspension pickup points were good , put it on the rack and it it aligned straight. Even if I have to tube the floors it will be worth it because soon there will be no more of these around.

[@EricKutilRacing]

What's your area?!? Damn that's a bummer. Sedans are great because no one really wants them here in the US haha

[@goforbroke2]

I sold my EG hatch 5 years ago, and the amount of people trying to buy it was legit overwhelming. I still have my EF hatches but finding parts for them is a legit nightmare, black hole of nothing.😂

[@freakyfriday9370]

The one has double wishbone

[@kajuankirwan9987]

Great driving Eric continue making all of us who are your supporters and fans love to watch you race that civic amongst the big boys 🤘🏾🤘🏾‼️ let's gooooooo... The cautions are distraction just focus on winning 🎉🎉

[@EricKutilRacing]

Hell yeah man! Let's go!!!

[@driftr6068]

Other Civic didn't want that smoke. Eric is your favorite driver's favorite driver. Got 'em on the hat trick, Broski 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@EricKutilRacing]

Haha thanks buddy!

[@driftr6068]

@@EricKutilRacing Often imitated, never duplicated, you drive the wheels off that 4 banger better than anyone else in the last decade.

[@OsmosisJones-co6xq]

I still have one of these sedans and it's still such a nice car to drive. Keep up the insane racing its awesome!

[@nicolaicollado8112]

Nicely done. Fantastic win.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks!

[@bescanocft]

yeah bro, good stuff!🇺🇲🇵🇭🏁 I dig the mix of different angles and commentary

[@turbojoe2623]

wooooo!! what a nail biter!! wish i could give this video two thumbs up!

[@EricKutilRacing]

One thumbs up is enough for me haha! Thanks buddy!

[@hypnotik174]

thanks for the great video, love the angles! great fight

[@fernandopaulino7318]

I look forward to your videos dropping so much!

[@tylerpalmer8973]

Absolutely great door-to-door racing! Fun to watch! Is Houghton's black car a CSX? My son has my old '08 Civic that looks like the same generation.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks man, and yup! CSX! Straight from Canada

[@florian_montuzet]

Amazing Eric ! Your car looks very tail happy even mid corner sometimes. Do you like this setup ?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yeah, you need the rotation especially in fwd cars

[@SAMotorsport]

Another quality video Eric! Absolutely love watching this journey with the sedan, been a long time watcher and have to say that your driving has also improved as well! Would love to know what you do in the downtime between racing/modifying? Do you do much sim racing to gain more experience or is it all just drive time? Would love a sit down video about your whole journey as well, might be good for a trailer video on the channel too ;)

[@EricKutilRacing]

I appreciate that man! I've been pretty busy with life lately so besides prepping the car before events, I don't really do anything else. I used to do a lot of Sim racing with iracing but not in the last few years, just no time.

[@goingup8351]

Awesome driving!

[@jdmtampa921]

Yessir!!! my favorite driver and my favorite parts company!! 💪

[@EricKutilRacing]

😁😁

[@bradsinandima9693]

You are the best Eric

[@christopherreinoso9828]

Racking up wins!

[@FernandoSosaIndustries]

Such awesome racing Eric! Well done sir… gotta ask, how u do the head game? When u got someone smelling your tail pipe that hard to tell your afr, how do keep your cool while looking in the mirrors?

[@drewpierce2273]

Eric, Obviously, you have a rear air foil to aid in rear traction, but you run a very shallow angle on it. Does it help all that much in the corners?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yeah, it certain adds some rear end stability in high speed for sure!

[@drewpierce2273]

@EricKutilRacing OK. Thanks for your response.

[@tx9914]

What kind of lsd do you use ? quaife? mfactory? plate? I see some fwd racers say to use toe out in the rear but you are using zero toe out in last setup video and a lot of rear camber I found that interesting. 🤔

[@馬育豪]

本田的高轉數太爽了😊

[@EricKutilRacing]

🙏😁

[@npw4484]

Keep it up..❤ from Indonesia

[@EricKutilRacing]

😁 will do!

[@MadAdventure919]

I can't imagine how sketchy it was to run pedal to the metal for half lap side by side. What's the power-to-weigh ratio for GLTC?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Rought 12.5:1 give or take with the various areo/powertrain. I'm 204 whp at 2576 (plus extra 3% weight because I won a few races)

[@dc5rick877]

Your and gears and gasoline yourube channels i love but your is alil better inlike more if the racing aspect of it you have everything like i am eatching it on tv and in the car with you gets my heart pumping i do sprint racing and auto x

[@EricKutilRacing]

Thanks man. I really appreciate that! I want to focus more on the details and actual racing

[@m-stance67]

I love your car❤

[@xXxH8TERxXx]

Nice! 😎

[@goforbroke2]

Those vettes must have a huge restrictor plate lol. Like their power has to cut to half or near that.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yup, they run about 250-275 whp. But massive amounts of torque!

[@goforbroke2]

@@EricKutilRacing I’m surprised you pull away from them on the straight-aways. They have better aero but I’m guessing you’re a decent amount lighter.

[@TheSylverBaLou]

Lucky that Mulan got spoon bumped from behind by ma-gru in the turn, cause if not the ending would have been as it should have EKR ALLDAY.

[@EricKutilRacing]

Lmao, Mulan hahaha

[@audigybeats]

how do you setup the DBW what do i need to do it ?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Rywire engine harness, Haltech Elite 1500 and an oem Honda DBW throttle body

[@darieldesvignes942]

@14:05 do you mean change the angle?

[@EricKutilRacing]

Yeah. Add a little more wing angle
