The most unbelievable part of this video is the fact they found a 500 dollar civic in on this economy

Please turn this into another money pit season.

This is so fantastic to see!! My whole life I was a car fan and I dreamed of building and repairing cars. Sadly I was not cut out to be one and I turned another way. Seeing you guys work on a project like that is just amazing!! I owned a civic and it was not fast enough to witness the birth of my second daughter from the moment when I got the call when being on duty and me " racing" back home sadly I wasn't fast enough. If I would have had this beauty, things would have turned different. Anyway, enough of the sentimental part the bottom line is I always loved Honda and had special love for the Civic. So thank you for sharing this, being the owner of that car must sure be freaking awesome!! (bit jealous here lol) Warm greetings from there Netherlands !! keep them rolling ;)

I really want to see you guys get a roll cage, bucket seats and run a four banger race. I'm an engineer in aerospace and absolutely love your guys videos, everything you guys do in terms of trial and error and just enjoying the moment is really what it's all about. If you ever need another mind for the projects let me know.

No matter how many engine swaps you do, that first startup always feels like magic lol

I feel like this one episode could’ve been an entire season of money pit, and I for one definitely want to see all of the hard work that went into this car

I'm truly amazed. You guys knocked it out of the park with having a whole engine swap and time comparison between both engines all in one video. And the quality 🤌

Not gonna lie, I liked this video before I even hit the play button. BTW, to the guys of Donut, this and Real Mechanic Stuff are my two new favorite channels and I want to thank you guys for feeding my inspiration to become a certified mechanic and someday have my own shop too. I started working on motorcycles as a hobby when I was a teenager and had a natural talent for it, but then I joined the Army and spent a lot of years in related fields and my mechanical talents sat on the back burner for a long time. Now I'm 35 and I have finally realized that you don't have to hate your job and break your body to adult properly and my passion for working on mechanical things has come back to life and you guys are feeding that fire in me. You guys are so down to earth and seem like dudes I would love hanging around with turning wrenches all day and I hope I get to work with guys like you when I get that far. So thank you for inspiring me and I hope to keep seeing videos from you guys for a long time to come.

Definitely need a Rev counter with shifter light so you can get those perfect shifts and some racing seats

This is the kind of Donut content I like to see.

Man, this car sounds incredible 😩 Also, going from 15 seconds for 0 - 60 (here in SA 🇿🇦 we say 0 - 100) to 5 seconds is a crazy improvement

I can't wait to see this car completed! Might be my favorite project you all have worked on!

Thank you for not splitting this up into episodes! Straight up action packed 💪

i love the genuine joy Adam got from the first firing up of the engine. he was not expecting it to work first try lol

10:27 The sound Master Chief makes when he dies

You guys need to do more builds like this, take the old money pit rides and turn them into trackday/weekend warriors!

Thank you guys for listening to the viewers and can’t wait to see a turbo installed🐌

This new format of denser episodes is such a great and refreshing change. Huge fan of the direction you guys have been going in, keep it up!

I love the EG's , have one myself for autocross. Stiffer springs, some chassis bracing , proper track alignment and a Kirkey and there is no doubt you will drop a fair amount of time. Hopefully enough to catch the CTR.

Im falling in love with this civic. They got super popular after the first Fast and Furious. It's great how you are using parts you had from previous episodes

I've been watching you guys for years and it honestly makes me so happy to see how much more confident the donut crew is getting at the track. Nolan has come so far he should be proud af.

Zach is my favorite Donut host. Such a chill guy.

I owned a Civic Hatchback EG in that same color. Bought it new in 92. I LOVED that car... everything was manual (manual windows, manual locks, direct gear driven steering, direct brakes etc..) I think the only wires back of the dashboard were for the brake lights/turn signals. What an awesome car it was to drive in '92. Wish I still had that car today.

I was came to Miami in 92 from Colombia and the civic hatchback was my Favorite car. So cool to see the Potential, Amazing Job!!

Don’t wait so long between these episodes, this has been my favorite this year

I love these series, take something cheap and transform it into a racing machine capable of greatness!

Bruh love it. Y’all should do a race coach episode with this car. Unless y’all already pros. So much time can be had with proper coaching

Love this type of content! Huge Honda fan❤ thank you Donut Media for the good content!

i love seeing you guys post about builds and educating us on what we need to know

It was AWESOME to come out and help with the swap. Let's do it again. You have the best crew AND snacks.

Brain is a legend in the Honda world. Still have my EF stored away with his Hasport mounts since 98/99.

Wow Donut actually dropped an entertaining video for the first time in forever

Upgrading this Civic has been the best videos you guys have released this year. Keep it up!!

I’d imagine these videos are some of the more difficult to produce. But man this is some awesome content. Hats off

would absolutely love to have a sleeper car like this. the joy of an insane build in a slow looking cheap car is just too much.

I had this shape and the one before. Stock handling was good and phenomenal with the older one.

I love you guys but I gotta say, it’s nice to finally see a performance/build video again. Been kinda dry lately. Now y’all gotta put some boost to it!!

i don’t know why “clean up on oil floor” got me 💀 it’s dad-ness approaching i can feel it

This is the content I like to watch seriously.

Brian is such a cool dude, love seeing him collabing with people.

That sequence of you guys lowering the car onto the engine was epic, editing was on point and then carried the music through the perfect amount. *Chef's kiss*

This show comforts me. Kind of like the Price is Right did when I stayed home from school. Another good idea, another good video. Love you guys.

This was amazing. Love seeing donut continuously out do themselves.

As someone who just bought a 2006 si this is the most timely donut episode I've ever experienced. Love you guys keep being crazy awesome!

This is what we want!!!😊 swaps and shenanigans. Love it.

Nolan 🤣😂 what a guy, we all need a dude like that dude in our lives!

This is my favorite build so far! I owned 12 civics over the years, all between 92-2000. My fastest was a 96 Si i bought from the scrapyard for $200 as a completely stripped, bare shell. I put $13k into it while in college to become an auto technician (though i was already doing that job before, just went for certifications), and built an all motor, B18a1, that brought that car into the low 13 second quarter mile. It was an absolute beast, and the Acura EL front clip really made it stand out. I miss that thing, and this build reminds me of it a LOT, though I built the whole car in my fathers backyard, with just hand tools, a shitty cheap jack , and a set of homemade ramps. Took me two summers to put it all together, and i drove it maybe 5 times tops before selling it before my first son was born 8 years ago. I miss that car every single day.

You guys have a formidable set of cars man.. from the 350’s to the wrxs to the trucks.. I’d love to see y’all make a race fleet

I have a Peugeot 206 with 105 hp. You have no ideahow much i love this antique car. I just wish i could give it to you guys so that you could do your magic on its engine like you did to this civic. Driving it with twice the power would be absolutely legendary.

This is my favorite car in Donut. Nolan's face really shows how much fun it is to make a cheap slow car go fast.

As an FL5 owner, I'm rooting for you boys. It needs racing seats and other tweaks but ya'll got it! It'd be cool to see a full restoration!

You guys are doing my dream build even down to the paint color.

Oh my goodness thank god i found this channel, its like a peace haven for me to look at cars

that 0-60 time was such a big difference! love it

Would love to see a interior & exterior makeover at some point but definitely some racing seats next, loving this civic series!

ITB's /Headers/Exhaust. Lightened flywheel, Brake upgrade, oversize TB, upgrade cooling and fuel management. Why not some proper swaybars as well and a high quality coilover setup. Get it on the dyno and tune it properly

I'm a diesel owner who drives a Mazda and man you gotta love being able to stab a transmission by just picking it up and popping in in. Love the videos and keep up the great work!!!

donut has been dropping nothing but bangers this month

Not only did this video make me miss my 94 EG... but it also motivated me to get my 2000 Prelude fixed and back on the road 😁👍thank you guys! Your video helped motivate me to get up off my lazy a** and work on my car

That civic is a legend. A rebel of cars!

I would like to see you guys modernize the interior while keeping it useable for an every day driver.

Give that man a rev counter or at least a shift light and you'll gain time by not hitting the limiter 👌

I’m so jealous of this build and am loving this series!

Gr8 job researching doing it right with the right people for the project. Now save your rep & redo the Subie WRX Vs. Series the right way

I really love that sound of exhaust 🔥

lol this Civic went to being somewhat of a joke upgrade car, to being one of their most badass builds

We love Bryan from Hasport and his whole team. The collab we needed!

Getting a donut media UKposts ad while watching a donut media video was not on my bingo card today😂

I’m watching this whole video with a smile on my face, gotta love the hondizis❤

Love to see Vtec academy giving sublime wisdom. You picked the right person for this job.

Those EG's are a blast. Almost no weight to them at all so once they get any amount of power, they fly. Well done Donut Crew!

I need MORE of this PLEASE

Love that generation of civic as hatchback and love the k20 so this is an awesome video for me!

Really enjoying this EG series you guys are doing! Making me miss my old EG. I had plans of engine swapping mine, but ended up getting rid of the car before I got to that point. I looked at a K series swap, but wasn't a fan of cutting into the EG, flipping the engine and transmission from the original architecture or dealing with the wiring and computer. For me if I had kept the car and done the swap, I would've gone with a B series as it is literally plug n play and can be done in an afternoon. But I completely understand why you went the route you did. Can't wait for the next video and I agree, seats are going to make a huge difference on lap times! Those factory EG seats offer zero lateral support.

The way she just purred to life with no hassle or fuss is just incredible. K-series to the rescue!

Nice build H civic props to all pioneers we'll made it.

An Initial-D based yellow and carbo hood would be rad for another episode to match the engine colors.

11:34 every Civic owner at 3am

So glad you are having fun with this. Neat to see all the people coming together to help out.

Its crazy how a honda with a honda engine works so well that it started up without an issue.

The production quality of Donut Media is absolutely FUCKING INSANE!!! To think all this started with James doing Up To Speed

Shout out to Brian. Thanks a ton for everything you do for the community.

Ok lets see a drag race between the EG and FL5. Standing starts and a few roll ons.

wanted an eg my whole life😢and jus for them to slap all my dream parts on it is so amazing ❤love that civic so much even tho its cheap😭🥲

Couldn’t wait for this to drop, literally the only series I’ve been super hype for

Love this series, I was hoping you guys would do something fun with this EG. Surprised to see no mention of the wiring harness/ecu swap that went along with this engine

I love when they fire up the engine for the first time, the OG honda mechanic isn't even paying attention. He knew that thing was gonna fire right up.

Wild that 210wheel HP is able to bust out low 5s 0-60 times. Probably high 4s if he has better prep or tried multiple time. Just nuts.

12:52 did yall see that gas gauge hahaha

I would be interested in seeing a parts cost breakdown and an estimate of how many hours this took. Very fun to watch!

Cant wait for the next upgrades 🤤

Dude. I absolutely love Honda civics now and I love the look of that generation so I will be purchasing one for myself at some point

I was Soooooooooo excited to see Brian on your channel!!!!!!!! I’ve also been waiting a LONG time for you to install that motor in this car. Best episode ever.

Awesome! Exhaust needs a resonator though, it would sound a whole lot better and way less raspy

Im working on a '97 civic as my first real project car. Same color and everything! I love this series!!!!!!!!!

I think you need to add Recaro race seats and maybe a better set of rims and tires and a better tach w/a shift light to know when to shift to optimize the power to the ground. I love these videos and look forward to seeing them.

Loving the series as a Honda guy, great build, funny to see some minor differences the old K series engine had compared to later models (oil filter location) this is the content I enjoy the most from you guys! Love builds

you know its a good day when donut uploads

This is a spanish tradition

When a car goes through a corner, it shifts it weight to the outside tires. The body of the car rolls slightly changing the camber of the tires. The best situation for corning is to have the most possible bite in those outside tires so you want to adjust the camber to coincide with the body roll for the biggest footprint in those outside tires in the corners. You want toe in in the front and toe out in the back so the tires are positioned in a way to do the left hand or right hand corner. Remember the weight shifts to the outside so toe in in the front will cause the car to steer naturally as well as toe out in the back.
