Man, I can't agree more with the guys who have already commented. That car is so fixable, and especially with the mileage and how clean it was, worth fixing. It could have easily been another giveaway car that you spruced up a bit just like the others.
That car is not worth repairing
@@EldePHXBy your comment I tell that your completely unaware of the potential that any Civic from the 90s has. Those cars can be modified into a fun street car to a full race track star thanks to the plethora of OEM and aftermarket parts. Plus you can swap in more powerful Honda engines.
The one I’m working on is much worse 😂
That door and doorknob need to be those companies mascots.
The slight dent in the back.😂 I see, yeah man that will buff right out 😂
Bro chop off the end of the sedan and slap a hatch on it 😂
Really good idea
Dude yessss I was thinking the same thing 😂
Some guy I follow on TikTok did that.
1:14 sounds like Mr.krabs running away 😂
The progress yall have made in the production of these videos has been insane. Looking at old views shows just how much yall have improved!
He really has. We are gong through that right now just starting out. Hope we can grow like he has
This channel is so nostalgic for me. It reminds me of the stuff I was doing 20 years ago with Hondas. Cobbling stuff together out of multiple cars just to get something to work.
One of my favorite go to lunch break channels to watch
It's an honor 🙏🏼
Haha thats an awesome term "Lunch break channels"
I LOVE seeing these classics getting a new life and restored! Want to see more of these getting restored
Man life comes at you fast. These were throw away cars in the 90’s… Now they’re Classics!
99-00 front end swap would be a cool add on too. No need to grab new fenders
Man! That silver sedan would be perfect for a 4dr hatch conversion!!!
Looking forward to the end results.
new subscriber from delaware, love watching these simple builds! keep it up!
May as well do a facelift conversion on the coupe!
Continue forward, my friend, and we, your audience, are with you 😊
Keep up the good work ! I love following this series can’t wait for future content 🔥👌🏽
Not going to lie that rattle sounds like something as simple as a cam or crank sensor clipping something. Aftermarket sensors are never perfectly sized.
Loving this video series
Can’t wait to see how it turns out!!! This is awesome and this is one of a dream of mine with a buddy that I have. We’ve been wanting to one day in the future own a little warehouse to work on cheap cars and continue having experience with tools and learning a lot more about cars and having fun with the builds. Keep it up man I love the content💪🏽💪🏽🔥
Trust the process 🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾 🔥🔥can’t wait to see how this turns out also man you got me in the intro when you stood on the car to pick up the head I thought you was bout to pick up the engine I was like holll uppp 😂
I skip the gym way too often to be doing all that 😂😂
You should save the 4dr and make it into a 4dr hatchback
This reminds me of the song by The Bottle Rockets - $1000 Car. "Next thing you know, there you are. Driving a $2000, $1000 car."
can you enter for the car in Canada?
Don't think so
Sadly no due to cost , just fly over and pick it up 🤣
I would have checked the valve clearances before pulling the head but that would have been less content than changing the engine so I get it
Me2
Bro your supporters from the uk.. love the honda builds...
Sounds like a valve tapping the piston. How was the mechanical timing?
Major props to that door knob 😂😂😂
besides the trunk being pushed in that sedan was clean.
ive been looking for a non rusty clean sedan for years. how do you manage to find one with 156k thats crazy.
if i where u i would’ve just fixed the rear end on the sedan.
the quarter panels where fine it was literally only the trunk
Rear quarters can be used to repair the red one
What lift is that ? Can u comment a link in here for it
I know, I'm interested too. Would love that for our channel. Wonder how much $$$
Very nice. Gives me continuing motivation to keep restoring my 00 EM1. She runs and drives, but she burning oil and can't pass CA smog for the life of me. :(
Definitely keep the beard broski.. fire content as usual
Appreciate it!!
You check if a Heat shield bolt is loose? With the washer rattling
Hello, i was wondering where do i go to buy those wheels of yours at 5:32, good luck on your build!
Turn that into a 4door hatch seen one at the last show I went to an looked awesome love seeing the honda game staying alive
Man, I am rackin’ my brain, trying to pinpoint what I think that sound is!? My gut says it could be the IACV (idle air control valve) that may be stuck open and needs that internal piece tightened. If I was thinking way out in left field, the alternator was handling the load for that ‘boom boom’ stereo system for a while.. may have prematurely gone bad. 🤷🏼
You’ll figure it out, I’m sure. Love this series. Keep the beard.
Can also switch front end
That silver sedan looks cleaner than 90% of the cars here in Wisconsin. Looks like it could be repaired, but I know that wasn't your intention. Gotta do what you gotta do
Bro to be honest I think the silver civic can be saved with a little bit of hammer 🔨 work and some pulling i think some one can save it and put a new trunk lid and done.
the sound is like mister krabs' footsteps
Sounds mike rocker arm or valve lash needs doing
Can you let me know if the wheels are 14 inch or 15 inch and what the selling price?
lets goooo!!!!
Good candidate for a 4dr hatch build
Could be the lost motion assembly aka valve lifters. Was the enigine sitting for a long time? Still doesn't explain why u pulled the head as everything is reachable without removing.
Unless it's a vtec motor it wouldn't have lmas. I don't believe this is a vtec motor. But if it is, you probably wouldn't hear a noise until vtec is active. If it were stuck lmas the cam would snap.
@@Mr.Wongburger i believe this d16 has vtec. And they can make a lot of noise before completely "freezing" and snapping the vtec lobe. Bad librication, taking them out and mixing them up,.. i'm not saying this is certainly the problem but it could be. Could also be piston slap but doubt it.
@@TheTechnoaddict Went back and looked. It definitely has a vtec solenoid on it, so it is a vtec head. As far as the lmas being frozen though. I offered my explanation based on my experience of snapping a camshaft due to them failing.
If they are stuck in the up position they will not allow for the rocker to go down which would cause the cam lobe to break. If it does push down I would assume that it would stay in that position allowing the vtec rocker to freely move up and down. So it's possible it makes noise in that case, but I don't think it would be intermittent.
It sounds like a valve hitting the top of the piston until the rpms change which then changes the timing of the valves opening and closing. My guess is mechanical timing being off. But, until they reveal what it is, that sound could be 20 things.
@@Mr.Wongburger if it's not completely frozen it can make noise cause it's not going up and down fast enough and having 2 much preload. But you are right, could be lot of things. There should be a clear mark on the piston from the valve if it was mechanical timing. But still don't understand why sending it to a machine shop. Get a decent Honda tech to look at it. Or anyone with experience with these heads. Or just take the rocker assembly of and look. Probably is gonna be pretty obvious where the problem is.
@@TheTechnoaddict I felt the same about the piston, but he didn't show us the block. The head could be going to the machine shop because the valve was bent from tapping. It wouldn't be worth the cost to have that fixed in my opinion if that's the problem though.
It’s not rod knock, I think it might be a stuck open Vtec solenoid take it off and try cleaning it and putting it back in
Isn’t it funny how civics just multiply? You buy one and then all of a sudden there are four.
Hahah they're too fun. Let's link on some Honda content 🤝🏻
Turn the silver one into a pickup!
Haha I like this idea
How much for the front fenders
whats the name of your car lift ???
That engine noise is a vtec solenoid stuck open, triggering vtec as oil pressure increases, remove the solenoid and make sure it's clean, and the plunger moves freely, its normally dirt locking solenoid open.
It can also be a lost motion assembly failing.
Finallyyyyy
Looking for full ac system and windshield lines and resavoir
Hey man, I am wondering. How much does that car lift costs that you have in the garage? it looks really handy. And also what is the max weight it can handle jacked up in the air? Great video btw! :) Subbed when the first episode came out :)
That is a nice one! Haven't seen one like that before.
Yes we'd love something like that for our channel. Very cool lift
@@RustedRides I've not seen a frameless lift that goes up that high before! Probably won't work for heavy vehicles.
sounds like the flux capacitor imo
Sound goes away at 88 mph!🤣
What year is the car
Sounds like maybe a valve lash
Where are you located?
The silver one was in way better shape. I would have made a 4dr hatchback. There’s a couple of them around and I love them 😂
And should convert the front on the red one to 00 front end
Sounds like valve chatter. Re-tourge them to factory specs.
Bearded Band of Brothers!
Maxpeedingrods T7 coilovers
Yeah keep the beard homie.
perfect for a mini me swap
Sounds like a timing belt tensioner
I like to buy the power steering and ac.
dude i love the beard
tbh that sedan just needs a trunk and a little work to make it line up and you are good to go
Just remember to use your original distributor from the 96.
Piston slap?
Good thing that car got rear-ended...that's not what I ment...it's just that...SCORE!!
why didn't you just take the battery out of the red car for a minute and slap it into the grey one to move it?
Sounds like the timing belt had too much slack and was hitting on the timing cover
Yo new vid!
4 door hatch?
Could that noise be the cat starting to collapse
Brova your beard is on point. Grow what yo popz gave ya 🤪🤪🤪🤪
LX motor doesn't have VTEC like the EX motor
Its has a vtec head
Please turn the 4 door civic into a hatch back 🫶
More like a ute!
Save a rare 90s gen sports car and good save on the v Honda
Please fix the 4door
Its still possible
Turn that silver car into a four-door hatch
Spark plug slot ...
If you would build an automatic I would love to enter
LX and EX have different engines though
Something is either loose or wrong sizing.
Bro let me buy the rear passenger door I can't find one anywhere!
DM me on IG
Ex and LX share the same engine ? I believe lx is non vtec so you’ll be losing vtec on the ex model… which isn’t good lol
I forgot to mention this has a vtec head on the Y7
Wait.... No more vtec?
Has a vtec head
Sounds like a lose valve
Would you be able to ship the car to South Africa if I or any other South African win the giveaway?
Rules on the site 👍🏻
Be easier to take ass end from red car
I want more dude 🥹
Maybe if you crash the 2 together head on you can swap motors ? Lol just playing I don't like ricers
Tacheții , mecanicul pulii
I'm kinda disappointed in engine swap instead of diagnosis of the original engine and trying to repair it. Cool stuff but I felt like old engine wasn't a trash
Exactly what happened with me I'm puzzled on that still and stopped watching him, would have been better to see at least 1 vid of trying g to solve it atleast
fix the parts car and make it a 4 door hatch
Going from a y8 to y7 lol
It's the same thing. The y7 has a vtec head on it.
"on a budget" *buys another car*
Lol! Well the parts car was $750 and I got a complete working engine and a complete front end that I needed. I'd say that's a heck of a lot cheaper than buying all that stuff new and on ebay 👌🏼
@@SmplBuilds haha i understand. no hate! loved the series. learned alot as well!
