5 Things I Hate About Owning a 90's Honda

- This is the harsh reality of owning a 90's Honda and 5 things I HATE about these cars. In today's video I (for once) focus on the negatives of being a Honda owner rather than the rainbows and unicorns. Feelings might be hurt.
As you all know by now, I love my 1999 Honda Civic Coupe. I talk a lot about how much I enjoy owning this car and modifying it in my videos. However, there are some downsides to owning these iconic cars that I rarely talk about. So I wanted to make this video to highlight the few things I hate (some outside my control) and give some insight from a guy that's learned the hard way. This video will cover 90's Honda's as a whole (not just Honda Civics). This includes the 3 different Generations of 90's Civics (EF, EG, EK), Preludes, CRX, Del Sol, Accord, and even Acura Integra's. Pretty much anything in that popular 90's realm of Honda's!
Honda theft is one of the BIGGEST things that plagues every 90's Honda owner. These cars get stolen or parts stolen from them EVERY SINGLE DAY. Theft is one of the MOST violating things that can happen to a person and leave them with a never-ending feeling of anxiety. So I talk about why Honda's get stolen and ways on how to prevent car or part theft. I've been a victim to Honda theft on several occasions and it SUCKS. So let's make the Honda world a better place and talk about why stealing Hondas is simply not worth it.
I talk about build quality and safety of these cars, but this topic is somewhat subjective. I DO think that these cars are built well for the price, but there are some downsides. Honda's are arguably some of the most modded and worked on vehicles in the world. People enjoy modifying these cars and tearing things apart to rebuild them. While the engines are the strong point of this topic, its everything else where the quality is just...Cheaper. Yes I realize that I'm being picky about a sub 20k car and that you get what you pay for. However, the body of these cars are thin and definitely not the safest cars on the market. The interiors can become brittle and break without effort. The paint is lucky to last more than 20 years, and so on.
I lastly talk about the perception of other crappy Honda's and how these cars can inevitably become money pits. I've been a 16 year kid with bad taste in the past and did not spend my money wisely. I've installed bad mods, wasted money, and cried tears over things because I cut corners. The point of me making these Honda Civic project videos is to show people how to build a clean Honda with realistic expectations. I didn't have this kind of content when I was a kid, so I hope my experience and information is passed on to make Honda's clean again. Try not to get too offended about my points in this video, I'm just very passionate about this stuff. With that said, enjoy!

I’m so anxious about my Honda being stolen, and then I remember it’s on jackstands
Don’t think that won’t stop them! Lol
Hide kill switches. I live 1.5 hours south of Atlanta. The place where a friend of mine had 2 stolen out of his yard at the same time one night. Every Honda I had, has had 2 kill switches. One for a fuel pump relay, and one for that switch. Both would have to be activated and they were hidden. Also, get a rear door handle for your front doors without key holes. If you have keyless entry. Then your screwed right? 2nd hidden hood latch release cable somewhere behind a bumper or wheel well. That way you can get to the battery and won’t be stranded.
@@ALLDAYANTHONY unfortunately 😪😪😪 I got a couple deterrents tho
@@StephenBrewer89 bro u smart not being sarcastic
@@nimaiazevedo7383 lol you being sarcastic?!! I’m just kidding lol. Honestly I have no clue if that would even work, that would just keep them from driving as far as the pump kill switches. But my buddy got his civic and integra stolen same time. Roll back then a dolly all at once. But a shaved key is how they got in both or so he was told cause they were caught. Both cars recovered but the civic was a total loss and the integra had the b20v pulled out and some interior parts missing. I hate thieves. We should be able to leave keys in at all time doors unlocked and never worry :/
Underrated channel the amount of effor he does for us, a small group of viewers is insane. I wish he could make a living out of this soon.
Man I agree this guy made me back into a car guy again because it’s not all about making the fastest car or the loudest car. I just want my car to be reliable and look oem+.
Good content. But is 80k small?
Soon come man, everything takes time
@@epicraptorman he’s saying the views
If you think he’s underrated wait till you see haugen racing
"Don't drive like a freaking maniac"
Sir this is a Honda
Yeah an economy car
Lawnmower kick in yooo
The, Sir this is a Honda, could also be, this Honda is a sir 😂😂
Real jdm fans will see what I did there
That is what the SIR is for
B18a honda civic sir is not an economy car
Anthony: 5 things I HATE about my civic!
Also Anthony: *spends 459 hours detailing that same civic*
Ahem! It was 458 hours! Get it right!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY nice
Every honda hater :sees a honda lover hating on Hondas.
Honda haters: *you weren't supposed to do that*
Lol! Rules are meant to be broken.
lol goated comment
I’ve had 2 Honda Civics both EX models, a 97 (my 1st car) and a 2k (my 2nd) both I modified it. 2nd car had more suspension mods on it, and a GT wing and fiberglass front lip. Both in major accidents.
I know the plight of what I hated about my Honda - but remember Honda owners hating on Honda ( you’re not hating , you’re stating )
And now I have a 04’ Nissan 350Z that I’ve have for 17yrs.
Get a car that has what you want. If it’s a Honda Honda or something else. Do what you love. And a real car guy doesn’t hate on another person’s car that they are fixing up. Just stating the obvious.
But seriously the D16 Series SOHC is an easy engine to build and modify. And as a Honda guy at heart 💜 Save the D-Series engine. If I ever get another Honda again it would be an older Hatch. And I would put in D16Y8 engine ( of the EX model ) in an 89 or 90 hatch as a work vehicle for my cleaning business. 👍🏼
@@johnnytrejo911 that felt like that whole comme t came straight from your sparkplugs and I like that
I love how he actually proves the point that buying all the race-y stuff may not be as good as OEM stuff in terms of reliability and safety
Which is why i won’t get a quick release unless I have a full roll cage, harnesses, and bucket seats lol
All the rice-y stuff
it's a Honda man. don't fix what's not broken
> "please dont delete airbag"
> *airbag doesnt deploys on front end collision*
Honda: i am death 💀
It really do be like that sometimes tho
@@ALLDAYANTHONY Fr I crashed my civic when I didn’t have any brakes and the entire front end was fucked but guess what I didn’t lose money with the airbag deploying yayyyy😭🤣
Airbag depends on the g-force. Direction etc. When the front end crumpled. Good the energy was absorbed. Been in a rear end and my front end was bad crumbled. I didn't feel anything in my body. Well my 94 Civic EG don't have an airbag from factory. So nothing there to be deployed
I owned a 6th gen accord sedan (98-02) and one day found myself hitting a tree at about 25 - 30 mph. That was a wild ride, but I'll say this those two air bags went off like a shotgun blast. They worked like they were supposed to keeping me from smashing my face on the steering wheel. What sold on Honda safety was how the car transferred the impact around me and to the rear of the car. The front windshield even small crack in it, didnt break, but the rear window shattered. I wasn't hurt just a bit dazed for a moment. Car crashes are not fun lol do avoid them if possible. Be safe.
Wtf is up with that? I've had 2 mid 2000's Honda's (a 2003 Civic EX and a 2007 Accord LX) and BOTH of them got Airbag Recall notices. I never went for the '03 but the '07 I did.
Wtf?
I wait to see this red civic in my notification list.
Thanks man!
“Dudes are gonna love you tho”
This man woke up and chose violence
I think we should go back to the old days when if you stole something, your hand was cut off 😃
I am 100% for that
@@ALLDAYANTHONY mee too
Go to brazil
@@Asap_Turki Nooooo I don't wanna go to Brazil
Come to the middle east habibi
To prevent theft I take out my ECU which has a tune to start only with that ECU so that helps
That’s a good start, but a thief can and will still steal it if they want it. It’s sad that we live in a world were people can’t buy their own shit if they want it. Life is too fragile to worry about it though.
Just kill switch the fuse box
For number 1, the first thing people should do is get an alarm AND a club. I have both for my 96 civic. Next, make a project to hide your alarm. Most installers just put it underneath the dashboard and call it a day. I hid mine in a different location and ran alarm wire with my factory wire so its really hard to tell what wire is alarm wire. I also added a killswitch that activates with my alarm.
I knew #1 would be theft, sometimes I’m worried being parked outside the grocery store
Had to pause this video 4 times to check if my Honda is still in the driveway 😂 #caliLife
Nahhh 😭
God it’s still like that? Things were bad when I had my rsx around 2010-2014. Can’t even go to the movies without getting your Type R H badge stolen smh.
@LactoseTheIntolerant I meant the Red Honda badge. Which is reserved only for type R’s. But let’s admit it everyone puts a red (H) badge on their Honda.
I use a quick release steering wheel as a anti-theft precaution haha
Sadly they can still get through that
Spare wheel or just skilled driving
@@nateel86 not if there’s no power steering lol
Tow truck won't need steering wheel, try having your vehicle GPS tracking device
They bring steering wheels for that reason just like ECUs
I just got my first car about 3 months ago and it is a 97 Honda civic dx 2 door coupe. I have always wanted to make my first car look clean, and ever since I saw your channel all I have done is put the Truhart coils and Yonaka exhaust all thanks to you. I really love your channel, keep up the good work!
I just have to say that your passion for this type of content is incredible. I started watching your channel about a year ago and was immediately hooked. I never thought for a second that I would get excited to see an old civic in my life. Now I drop pretty much whatever I'm doing to see what's new with this one whenever there's an update.
That’s much appreciated man. Thanks for coming to watch!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY For sure dude! Keep up the great work!
you the reason I stayed away from the rice mods, you did push back the oem+ look for the better
Thanks man! I think people should experiment with different looks and learn from experience, but I’m hoping my advice can help others
People know what they’re signing up for driving old Honda’s get a good alarm if that shits clean
Some do and some don’t! Hopefully this video spreads some awareness!
unless they steal your ECU... I guess welding it in is an option? (Not sure at all)
I was already obsessed with 90s civics (1995-2000) and I was already planning on getting a manual coupe (either a 1999 or 2000) before finding this channel. Now he’s just feeding my obsession and I’m not sure if it’s healthy
hidden kill switches, replace ignition screws, quality 2-way car alarm and common sense. That's how you keep your Honda from being stolen.
I can definitely confirm how quick it is for these to become money pits. Spent a grand on OEM Stanley fog lights that have never been used. But, everything from the switch to the lights and harness are all included and still in original packaging. Your top 5 hits it on the head. So many truths about how owning a Honda is. Especially how reluctantly I am to admitting what I drive lol. Awesome video!
Thanks man! Glad so many people are on board with my points haha
@@ALLDAYANTHONY I’m sure you can account to how nice it is to have more than just the Honda. There’s no way I’d leave it parked outside the garage for more than just 45 minutes. It’s insane how after nearly 30 years these cars are still victims to theft. Even in Spokane. 🙄
I have been binge-watching each and every single video of the 48 about the Civic. I drive a 2021 on the daily, and have zero intention on modding or upgrading or anything. Yet, I couldn't stop watching the next video, and the next. And the next. I like your down to earth attitude, and I think the reason the Civic is much more popular with your audience over the sweet Evo, is because it's a dream available to most people - it's within reach for most of us to spend $1,500 on a car and take it from there. Please keep up with the Civic series - and for the love of God, please take us on more road trips like the 150 miles around the Valley you had with the boys in April!
Well said Anthony. Same things happen in the JBody world that I've encapsulated myself in since 2000. Luckily I've invested in a lot of wait time and lots of homework and will finally get to build a modest Toyota Cavalier clone. It did not happen over time but quite a bit of dedication and lots of dreaming went into this project. I want to eventually drive down from Spokane to Boise and showcase this ride in the near future. Most of what you said is from the heart and your wisdom shows. Growing older is spectacular isn't it? Keep the great work up man. Simplicity is key. Cheers!
Looking forward to meeting you. I did remove and reinstall my interior door panel successfully without any damage when I had to replace the outside door handle.
Gold star!!
Same
"Get the best bang for your buck" is the most important thing I've ever learned about modifying cars
It’s true man. Comes in all shapes and forms
@@ALLDAYANTHONY I'm currently in a 10th gen Civic Sport Hatch rn. Actually the first boosted car I've ever owned and it's been quite the learning curve. Tuning was the best money I've ever spent on it yet
Well thought out,sensible mods that enhance but don't drastically change the OEM look without costing a fortune, and you don't follow any silly fads or copy what everyone else is doing. I wish there were more running around like this. Very clean 👍
Thanks man!
I’ve been watching all your videos the last few months. I’ve always liked the EG EK civics. I would love to see more videos like that canyon run! Love the junkyard vids and install videos. Much love from AZ
The rusted, stripped, or other wise unusable hardware all over the car lol
Lol! You know what I mean
Replace it with titanium hardware! @gdevelopmentusa on insta!
at least that 10mm bolt works on the whole car haha
my integra had the power door lock wires cut by the previous owner for anti theft purposes lmao
Haha that’s one way to do it!
Homeboy didnt even think about just taking out the fuse lmao
@@awkwardcrowwithapartyhat hondas tie lots of fuses together. For example the horn and brake lights are on the same fuse. Pull the fuse for the alarm going off and your brake lights don't work. You need to cut wires lol.
@@Gunlover36 I know that. I have a DC2 and theres a specific fuse for power locks. I took mine out. Maybe it was a DB7 or Gen3
I just fixed mine. Those door lock actuator are a pain to get to. Just pull the fuse yo. Lol
Anthony your channel has given me a ton of encouragement to work on my '93 DX coupe. It's nearly the exact same color as yours. It isn't fast, but it has a manual transmission and no power steering, making it a blast to drive. I have an AEM intake and a Yonaka cat-back on it, and it came with cut springs. I hope to get it a mini-me swap or even a B18b swap in the future. Thanks for the awesome content!
That’s great man glad I could help!
California resident here and I had my 1994 Integra stolen about 7 years ago and lost sleep over it thinking what unspeakably horrible things they doing to my car. Cops recovered it within a week but ever since I installed an alarm and use a steering wheel lock. Might have to consider putting a “boot” on my wheel in the future too lol.
I haven’t tried it yet but I hear for some of these cars you can pull out the relay that powers the fuel pump so even if they hot wire it they won’t be able to get it going and you can put it back in when you’re ready to drive the car.
Great video and very helpful👍
Yeah cars are people too damn it!!
Love peace and axle grease brother ❤
Thanks dude!
It’s almost Christmas if you get your front teeth knocked out then asked Santa for your front teeth lmaoo
Hahahaha! Yes!
I did not understand this one: I've chopped two trees with my 1994 honda at 70mph with a momo steer wheel, and nope, my teeth did not fly out of the windshield... There are seat belts lol or am I the only one to use them... And if you hit an animal or a person and it gets inside of your car, what is a chance of them hitting right into your teeth. Why not a nose? why not a cheek or a chin a neck... Seriously is that a common thing?
This video was very usefull. Im planning to buy myself an EK hatch...and the first thing i wanted was change the steering wheel...but since you brought the story about that being unsafe i think im going to keep it as it is
But the aftermarket ones are so good looking!
This channel was recommended to me and boy was #5 is on point. I had a honda Fit back in my college days, spent about no joke 15k on part such as the k series swap and tune and js racing parts and cusco and other things, was able to make 250 whp. But being broke college at the time wasnt fun lol. Nowadays i do plan my purchases and not to repeat my old mistakes. Pretty clean Civic btw 💯💯
You should rate our civics :))
I’ll do that in a future vid!
Where is the best place to buy parts like bushings, rotors etc
@@ALLDAYANTHONY rate my 91 accord after i get her the things she needs. i bought it a month ago and she was neglected for years, it had 10 year old tires on the car.
The cupholders in my 00' Civic annoys me, the holder is too low. Pick up a drink through a drive-thru and one turn or harder stop - drink everywhere
Get the cup holder insert!
I have learned to hold my hand on top of the drinks while I drive and only let go to shift 🤣
@@danielaupperle Yeah I been doing the exact same lol
I put inserts in mine, made all the difference. I don’t have to put my hand on the drink super fast on a turn or quick stop like a mom does to her child in the front seat. You all know exactly what I mean. 😂
Del sol has the worst cupholders.
I have a 1999 red civic too (DX and needs alot of work haha) and got a phone call for an air bag recall like 20+ years later!! I was actually going to consider having both airbags removed because I thought maybe 20 year old air bags won't work anymore. Guess I may as well get the freebie replacements instead of removing them. Thanks for your video.
Dang, you really called me out on my build.
Rattle-canned black (genuinely, it could look WORSE!), beat to hell and straight-piped.
To be fair though, like myself, I imagine most people's Honda is the A to B car. I door dash in mine, and when you put 30k+ miles a year on a car, the paint is the bottom of your list.
And in my defense I bought it beat up and rattle-canned. Previous owner(s) chopped the muffler too. Straight pipe was pretty cheap, and kept the exhaust gas out of the cabin.
As a matter of fact, it's actually a bonus. A beat up, loud and ugly pos is the last thing someone would want to steal.
I coulllllld do without all the middle fingers from everyone (and I mean e v e r y o n e) though but I'll get over it.
How about honda roofs That's always getting some rust or pimples
*1. RUST!*
2. no 6th gear for highway cruising
3. lack of sound insulation
4. cheap interior
5. steering wheel only tilts but does not telescope
I’m totally ok with it being a 5 speed. And rust is really just dependent on where you live
its not the number of gears you need to worry about for freeway cruising, its gear ratio. There are lots of ways to change your gear ratios in honda's easily. When i went from 120hp d16z to a 400whp b18c turbo. I swapped out the terrible final ratio in my lsd. made freeways a lot more fun
I hear your pain. My 97 civic was stolen twice. Another annoying thing about a 90’s civic are the power window popping out of tracks.
My dad replaced the passenger side window motor on his '96 Civic, he surprisingly got the door panel on and off in one piece
90s Honda’s are badass to build, I just don’t like the sound they make:(
Don't put a universal Ebay fart can on it and you should be good. At least it doesn't sound as bad as a 350z. Those are HIDEOUS and annoying.
They sound like crap ..
@@kenny.xturbo3315 b series with yonaka exhaust actually sounds good. A good quality exhaust system with a deep burble makes engines like the b series and other honda 4 bangers actually sound good and definitely not loud at all until higher rev ranges
@@ericxiong6582 yo yo yo wtffff 350z best sounding v6 ever made
I actually removed the air bags in my Integra. In accidents before I’ve been, they’ve done more damage than anything. I’m not a fan of them.
I definitely understand the points he makes in this video. My girlfriend owns a red 01' EX that looks very similar to this one, and just installing the radio the panels definitely felt like they were going to snap if they were handled with any sort of force.
Also, interesting point about the airbag. Not two weeks after she bought it, her brother (who had basically totaled two cars prior) was driving it and got into a front end accident that totally messed up the front, but the airbag didn't deploy. I thought it was just because he was driving under 25 Mph, but it seems like this may be a pattern with these Honda's.
Anyway, awesome job on the video, love the time and care put into this video (eg, the voiceover for a better quality listening experience).
I just took my 99 ex into the dealership for a safety recall on the driver airbag inflator… so I would guess that was the issue
Its hilarious the fact you bring up the driver side door panel, on my 95 eg hatch i have a huge problem with my driver side window and i constantly have to take my door panel off, and put it back on. Haven't broken a clip in my 20-30times taking it off and putting it on

Damn you got yourself a vtec?
Nice man I just got a 01 ex 4dr for free for helping a older lady move after getting divorced
Mate this channel is awesome just bought an ek hatch and came across the channel, keep up the content buddy!!!!
You re-inspired me to build my civic. I recently had a loved one pass and he left me enough money to build the car the expensive way, so roll cage, racing seats and harnesses for the boosted SINGLE CAM D16Y8 that I’m gonna build. It’s gonna be wide bodied and make it a damn race car.
Dang dude sorry to hear that and wish you luck
For quick-release steering wheel, you say that you're going to knock your front teeth out. That's not true if you have a bucket seat and a 5 or 6 point harness.
What about your head? You have to wear a HANS device for those seats to be helpful, and a helmet.
@@LifeAsAPotato I understand what you mean to have that safety done properly however that's only if you're at the track. At the track you're going to be crashing at like 100 mph. The street is just 40 mph crashes if you stay within the limits. Also 90s car's airbag probably dont work. You're honestly better off with a 5-point harness and ripping out that airbag. Still not 100% proper but honestly the pros just outweigh the cons.
@@WorstPaperCut i guess, but thats if you decide to only go 40 mph as a car guy lmao
@@LifeAsAPotato XD that is true.
i took off my driver side interior piece. to be fair I have the hatchback but still. 0 clips/tabs broken
I would consider that a huge success!
Jesus is that you?!?
This was a super good video! The last point about the end goal was my favorite because it’s the truth!
100% agree with every reason you described. I've had a few friends crash their Honda's and guy wearing seat belt is doing ok but guy without seat belt still isn't the best/"back to normal" and that wreck was almost 2 yrs ago. I've had alot of break ins, mainly radios, change and some parts in trunk stolen. Had a first gen CRV that started with filed down key and could pull key out while running..... I've owned all different kind of Honda's from slammed civics, preludes, accords and integras to a lifted CRV but my current 92 eg sedan with B16a2 swap is probably rowdiest of em all. Slammed with complete front and rear suspension swap from 94 integra. Steering is soooooo much lighter, bigger brakes/hubs and rear disk brakes. Went with sedan bc I got 2 kiddos and they love riding in "Panda". My kids named it that bc it's white with 5% tint all around with brow on windshield plus 5% blacked out 1 piece headlights.
Man, I want to buy an 1998 integra but I’m scared of it getting stolen and I don’t even have a garage :(
Same I'd like to have one
Gotta get one of those steering wheel locks he has at 5:30. That’s what I use
@@danielaupperle just to let you know a steering club is not a big deal. All they have to do is cut the steering wheel on each side of the club and wahla. Serious best thing is a 1.quick release steering wheel with a lock for the hub
2. a kill switch (not to the fuel pump, everyone knows about that one)
3.alarm
4.lojack
@@danielaupperle your better off buying the clutch club.
Same!!!!! That’s the only reason I don’t have a older Honda.
This is very insightful, I think I’m going to buy a Honda Civic now 👍🏻👍🏻
I DARE YOU
Great vid! News flash, body panels still dent super easy on my FK8 and paint is still super soft and scratches by breathing on it.
All Day Anthony is seriously my favorite car channel. I watch Goonzquad, Streetspeed, and Stradman, and etc. But Anthony really shows this relaxed personality which is perfect. Keep up the Great Work Anthony.
Thanks man that’s a big compliment!
We filipinos love civic
Flips n civics!
My Honda was broken into 4 times in the first month they stole parts and little stuff
Damn dude get on that!
Man I've been pretty close with some of the people at Speed Factory for a while, but I'm only just getting into this scene so I never knew how involved and widespread they were. It's kind of crazy seeing that pic pop up after having one of their tags on my backpack for years, never really knowing how much they actually do at that shop. I remember when that crash happened. Loving the videos as well dude, thanks for helping me to get into this stuff. Just picked up a 2000 civic sedan that I'm working on now
I completely agree with every one on this list! I go to tear into my interior, do the Del Sol seat swap, broke a bolt, re-wrap my headliner, sagging a little now, swapped to non-power doors, locks don't work well. All the same with the money pit as well, I'm going to be pretty deep into my 99 EX with body work, paint and correction, and the motor I'm rebuilding for boost now. In the end it's really all you, only thing I've got to say to new Honda owners is PLEASE DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON PARTS!!!! No that hood scoop doesn't look good on your stock N/A Y7, No those 60 dollar headers off ebay do not flow better, and unless you're experienced with spray paint, just save up and have your local body shop fix it. To each their own love the video, thank you for coming to my TED-Talk.
Haha yep! All those things are what I’m talking about
Some dude tried to steal the wheels off my 2019 accord 2.0.................he’s dead now
cap whats the court transcript
Other than the stickerbombing, nothing wrong with the build at 16:03, at least from that angle.
Just got a del sol si. Was inspired by your videos man. I just want a super clean car like yours man❤️
I own a EK Civic coupe identical to yours except it's bone stock green with a Y8 I really hope one day I can make mine is nice as yours keep up the good work man
A wonderful video. Thanks for some solid wisdom.
I feel you soooo hard on the money pit part.
I bought a rusted out dirt cheap 88 Accord LXI because I love the 3geez’s and the price was too good
But after a fuel tank, brakes, tires, busted window (heyo, theft!) replacing all the busted out suspension components...
I could’ve easily put that money to a clean solid Prelude and my Accord is still a rusted out piece of shit. It’s a good lesson to walk away from
Damn that sucks
And the 16 backstory, the I wanna keep this car forever thing is so relatable I know this vid is 3 years old but I totally agree with everything you said and love the vids
Video is very well put together! Nice job
Thanks bill!
3x Accords, 96 98 02 never broke any door panel components and have had them off uncountable times.
Agreed I've owned like 5 cb7s, accords have higher quality interiors than the civics for sure.
My preventative measures for theft on a 90s Honda below.. And this worked on my 98' Integra for a few years before I sold it. Parked out in SoCal and even in Portland where, IMO- theft is worse than SoCal. Integra had some goodies as well, OEM ITR lip, Racing Hart 3pc wheels, on coilovers, etc.
- Instead of a steering wheel club, use the AutoLock Pro. Our steering wheels can be cut pretty easily. The AutoLock Pro locks onto your clutch pedal, and not many thieves want to spend their time down there in the pedal box. Of course, if you want to go the extra mile, you can use both lol.
- 2-Way Pager as you mentioned. I had my alarm LED installed near the coin pocket by where your left knee sits, it flashes and lets you see the AutoLock installed down there. Also, take time to actually tuck the alarm brain deep into the dash. I also relocated the alarm horn at the firewall, below the intake manifold. Many installers just put it out in the open, essentially allowing the thieves to get access to your car, pop the hood and cut the horn. To go along with this, spend extra and get a back-up battery, extra sensors for hood/trunk/doors.
- Kill switch as you mentioned again. If you choose to install one, make it look as clean and sleek as possible. Kill switch is only as good as the install, so spend some time to make it look like wiring came from factory.
- Do the hood cable relocation. Our hood cable runs right under the driver side fender well. Thieves can easily pull it to open your hood and disable your alarm before entering. This is a free mod, and very easy to do. Just relocate it into the engine bay.
- And to compound onto it, if you don't mind spending extra money, invest in LoJack. Not really a theft deterrent, but damn does it come in handy if your car gets stolen.
Fantastic write up and also very helpful! Loving this comment
Me and my dad have done it with his 96’ accord sedan. I did the passenger side door myself without ever having taken any interior parts off. And didn’t break anything. And he’s had the car for 10+ years of it’s lifetime. And it’s been passed down to me. And he’s taken the interior out many times due to have a system in the car along with having to run new wiring etc and what not
Thanks for your video. I have a beautiful ‘97 Lude that is a joy to drive. I’m not too worried about dying since I ride a motorcycle 80% of the time which is also a ‘90s. I have worked on the door panels without damaging them. Lol.
Haha that’s a risk we face from riding! So it’s not scary in a car by any means
Thanks for the Yonaka Muffler/Exhaust video man, it really does sound great on a 4 Cylinder for the price!
Im actually spraying the black trim around my car atm. Waiting for paint to dry. But mannnn, you are right about clips breaking. Removed the door cards to get to the mirrors and yep... clips broke and didnt align properly...
I love my civic, but sometimes I cant handle the hate they get.
Dang! Try to get some more clips!
The first point hit hard. I got my 98 civic sedan stolen, and I was heart broken of course. Luckily, I got replacement parts and it's looking better :)
My apologies man. Theft is the worst
Has so much potential, i know he's gonna make a living for these videos
Amazing video bro, I love your civic I really want to get one soon.
Thanks for watching! I hood you do!
Thank you so much for everything that you do!! Very much appreciated!!
Thank you for coming to watch!
Love your honesty and love how you have a fast sport evo and a good daily Honda you balance them out well you don’t do to much crazy stuff with your Honda
Thanks man! Modest can sometimes be hottest lol
@@ALLDAYANTHONY yes the Honda is perfect good for what it is daily you should do a evo driving video sometimes driving
Nice video bro, I really love your Honda! Regards from CostaRica.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Anthony I gotta tell you, your Honda Civic is the cleanest I've ever seen like really and that's my favorite year model. We have the same taste of modifying hondas and the way I'd like to think about it, is if a person is looking for a civic, would he much rather prefer a heavily modified civic or a civic like yours which is oem plus and a little modification but clean and quality. They would much rather prefer yours. Clean Oem style always has the highest value in price.
I removed my college buddy’s interior as a prank (94 Integra) while he was in class with no issues and put it all back together. Granted, I also owned an integra and worked on my car a lot. And this was 04, so it was only ten years old at the time. The “trick” is patience, using panel pry tools and pushing clips back when the panels won’t give and just starting over. People yank and tug versus actually undoing the clips.
Chanel is amazing, the voiceover sounded incredibly tinny compared to the other mic used in the intro. Not trying to be one of those know it all’s but I want your channel to blow up so maybe doing what it May be to fix that audio difference would be worthwhile. Thanks for your content!
The sad part is that I used a great audio recorder for the whole thing! Unfortunately the room had so much reverb that it made it sound a bit echoey. I know where I went wrong so next time should be better!
That was my favorite car growing up in the Dominican Republic. I could have gotten one but went with a 17 sti and built it up. 700 hp currently. I appreciate these cars when I see them on the road. I just thought it would be harder to make them fast
I got a 95 Honda civic ex me and grandpa going to be working on soon can’t wait!!!
JDI push button start conversion and Ghost box. They hide the Bluetooth stereo under the dash while keeping the OG radio. The push button start conversion comes with RFID key tags also comes with a main relay and kill switch adapter and would make it nearly impossible to steal without a flat bed and a lot of time.
The trick for me to remove/install the door panel is to loosen the side mirror cover. It helps so much when putting the door panel back on, although it is still a bit fiddly.
That is the trick! Just don’t puncture the panel!
I subbed I love your videos keep up the good work
Got a EG6 SiRS and I definitely agree with everything you said, kept mine clean, detailed, and OEM
I own the same car you do, except mine is a B series Si, and removing and replacing the entire interior without breaking anything is as simple as can be. I've done it on 3 different 96-00 Civics in the last year, and you can strip the entire interior in 40 minutes without breaking anything at all, you just need to know where the clips and fasteners are.
i wrecked my 98 hatch, 20 days after you posted this. trying to get it fixed up
My Civic got stolen when I lived in Philly. My brother had a key so worn down it worked in both our Integras and opened a civic we had. Cops found the civic a month or so later, they stole the headlights, not the nice wheels on it...weird.
I have done the door panels in my old integra without breaking them, however that was almost 10 years ago, I'm sure the plastics have gotten even more brittle in the past decade.
You can also tie a kill switch into your clutch/ neutral safety switch to have a second "clutch" you have to use to start as well
Yep! Also another good idea!
Such a good video to listen too when im cleaning and relate to everything you said 🙌
Thanks man! Next time I’ll dial in the voice over a bit better!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY It was great as is! But 9f gets better oof
Subbed. Im building a 6th gen accord. Good vid! Hey man lemme know about your spoiler. I love it!
