When Honda designed the AWD viscous back in the 80s for the Civic Wagon's with only 75hp at the flywheel, I bet the engineers there never even contemplated that those parts would eventually handle 1000hp at the wheels in 2022. 😂👍
IMO Hondas Engineers are so Nerdy, that they did calculate how much power it could theoretically hold lol. They probably factored in people actually doing some light off roading and decided to make a strong component.
@@RagingBullNuts Dude, during that era, ONLY their F1 motors that Senna and Prost dominated with in their McLaren MP4/4's were even close to being in that 1000hp power range. 😎 Also, AWD Civics weren't built or even considered to be off-roaders. 😂 They were econobox's, period. 😉👍
@@MafiaboysWorld Japanese engineers usually design with extreme situations and abuse in mind...said an engineer who worked with German and Japanese engineers/designers. Or, you believe the capabilities of all the old Honda stuff is just a coincidence. If any of that tooling survives, Honda should should re-stock those diffs, that would be fantastic.
@@MafiaboysWorld your correct about them not having any high horse power vehicles but your wrong that they weren't calibrated for racing or off-roading. If you watch Honda Documentaries then you would know that they perfected the perfect short base-length awd for hatches, they also created the most shiniest and weightless paint. The engineers at Honda were given one job, but they always slightly made it into other tasks. If my memory serves me right they purposely overbuilt the F22 ( Honda engine that comes factory sleeved) but limited it to a whopping 104 horsepower, but if you would add bolt ons, keep stock internals and a Turbo kit, you could possibly make around 450 horsepower to the wheel on a car that is as light as a feather.
@@KumarKush69 A Honda that never worked? Stock & modified Hondas are the most reliable cars you can buy, period. If there is any car that you could say “never breaks” it would be a Honda. So I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.
While I agree, street cars and roll cages don’t exactly mix. Imagine whacking your head on a roll cage in a little fender bender. Unless you driving to Taco Bell wearing a helmet 😂
@@BrianCrofoot You can just use those pool noodles to wrap around the bar, i have that in my daily caged honda and it doesnt hurt when you hit your head on it.
I love America for the fact alone that you have the liberty to drive something like that on the streets. Be careful that they won't take that liberty away from you. Best wishes from Germany where so much is illegal. Stay save.
I was a a local car auction yesterday and while I'm not really into Honda's, I couldn't pass up on what I found. Picked up a 1990 Civic hatchback, never modified 100% bone stock, 1 owner, very minimal rear quarter rust, factory sunroof, 5 speed & has 83,946 miles. Runs like a dream. I'm thinking about doing one of these AWD K series setups & CRX front end conversion once my Corolla GT-S is complete in a few weeks.
@@DOUGHBOYSOUNDZ Don't worry. I'm likely gonna sell it because I'm getting some ridiculous offers lol. Like 3 times what I paid for it. Honda kids f'n love these square backs LMAO. Probably won't be able to turn it down. Plus with the 4AGZE 86 & 29x10.5 300ZX our collective won't have time for me to bring in another project anytime soon.
@@jdmmike7225 They're worth a pretty penny now, with all the ones that's been trashed and totaled. Clean ones are becoming rare, if you do keep it, keep the body stock. If you do sell make sure it's worth it, you may never get another that's in as good condition!
Seeing the smile on his face at 12:14 is the best way to describe why we love cars. He's had that car for 8 years and it still make him smile that much.
When the sunglasses come off after a pull, you know it’s fast 😂. I’ve been watching trc for YEARS now and it happens after a pull in literally every legitimately fast car lol. This makes my old 500hp ek hatch look tame.
His shifts on point. Who needs automatic when you can shift like this? When I first started driving all I did was practice quick shifts and drifting with plans of drag racing and get a second car for drifting but drifting stole my heart 😆
@2:27 there's no way in hell that hellcat owner really believed he would've taken the 1kwhp awd civic ... I love Mopar don't get me wrong but sometimes us muscle/pony owners get our hopes up too high lol
Damn man I’m so proud of all of you💯. To be able to experience this man….just wow. I Wish I could’ve got my hatch swapped this video just brings back so many memories of my old car I almost cried. I just wanna go back in time and change everything I did, definitely would’ve prevented that garage fire that broke out while working on my bike . Lost everything in that fire and didn’t think I’d ever need renters insurance haha, I was 20,21 maybe then now I’m 23 and don’t know if I’ll make it to 24. Funny how life changes so fast, one day you’re just enjoyin life and the next you’re just fightin off the urge to end yourself. Idk why I’m venting in the comment section tho haha…….definitely needed this. Wish you all the best in life, take care🤙🏾
The fact that these 1980s awd systems from like little minivans or small suvs are capable of putting down such huge torque with STOCK everything is kind of mindblowing. Like how freaking overbuilt were they back in the day?!
Started with Hondas during the late 90s import boom. They will always have a special place in my heart. I’ve since moved on to muscle cars but if I ever got another Honda it would be a hatchback civic.
da fuck you know about Honda crash? We had a photo at the dealership of a customer's CB7 hit by a TRAIN...they walked away. I personally rolled end over end, stepped out.
@@boostismagic i know more than you about them. I buy cars and part them out. I have to cut them in pieces most of the times. Any car made before the 2000s isn’t safe at that power level. I’m sure your Honda makes 1050whp like his, so you are an expert.
@@guttedxx on the streets roll cages aren’t safe. But in the car, yes they are safe. Don’t install the roll cage on the street, make sure to install it in the car.
@@devil2jz500 ah yes. Such an intelligent reply. You must have smashed your head on a roll cage during an accident without wearing a helmet. Because who wears a helmet on the street. Or who wears a HANS on the street. Get real kid.
Dont BLINK, you'll miss his clutch leg moving jesus this man can DRIVE Anyone watching this....take notes. See how he keeps both hands on the steering wheel except when shifting? yeah. what a freaking BOSS
I love that this honda is well built and it does not sound like gun shots going off every 3 seconds. Nice build man! Other civic owners should strive to be anywhere close to this and then the civics will gain more respect in the car scene!
@@jprides4000 oh that makes sense since your in cali you guys have way stricter laws. In florida you can almost do whatever you want when it comes to cars lol
Little man eg, doing big man things!! They guy is a legend, so open an honest about his car breaking etc but comes bouncing back better!! The car and owner, both legends!!
You know it's serious when the driver is in a civic on slicks, with a camera strapped to his forehead. Might as well ask for the 5 car head start right off the bat.
Mad respect, this is a crazy build... My 1st Honda was a 93 Vx hatchback that I rolled +3x within 6months of buying it, Still love the EG hatch. Since then I've owned (in order) 94 Dx 4dr (stock w/5sp) 97 3.0CL (stock) 90 LS Integra (LS-V) 91 hatch (gutted w/b16) sent to CA REF, rip 90 hatch (1.5+Y6 head, Mini-me) 93 LS Integra (gutted, non-v turbo) 91 CRX (DPFI > MPFI > Mini-Me V > +75shot NOS) 89 CRX (Built 82mm b16 w/ 4.40 cable SiR tranny on Hondata)
I got a chance to ride in a big turbo fully built k24 civic hatch AWD on meth, and it's absolutely stupid. The car was caged and all but i'm fairly confident that it would make no difference if things went south. It wasn't even a fun fast anymore, it was just scary bro.
A man said "when this man hit third I think I saw Jesus"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.This machine has a just over 1:1 power ratio,which is f'in terrifying.Great vid as always
That's a crazy Civic ! How's the gas mileage on that beast !? With all of that drama of part's breaking ! Makes me feel better about my stock 2000 Civic Ex Coupe lol. That car out here in L.A. would be a Cop magnet. They'd tow it for racing mods alone.
This guy is down to earth. I like the fact he says things break. All the keyboard warriors will never understand. Well.... because they are banging on keyboards. Awesome build my friend!
