Awesome Affordable Cars: Legendary EK9 Honda Civic Type R 

Iriscience iconic, everybody this famous hatch.

Iriscience dont forget eg6 and fd2

Iriscience The only reason, why I will never consider buying one, is it's design. Just never liked it

To get a similar driving experience, he is right; you have to buy a Cayman. IMHO on best mods for the EK9 is to stiffen the body

Iriscience hard to believe it's a 2 decade old design now!

Toyota4Life New cars kinda suck

Jurre Volkers Agree my mom's new toyota rav4 has terrible suspension etc. my dad has an old 2007 avensis and the suspensions is a lot better it has touch screen abs and electric seats..... My mom's new car doesn't even have electric seats :DDD

Šarūnas Stumbrys i dont really consider 2007 old hahaha but you made a point. I am mostly thinking of looks too because you cant deny cars are getting better technology wise

Sorry my fault it's 2007 made car :P

Tell me about it, we used to have an old '80s 3 door coupé Ford Sierra in the Family (also known as a Laser). RWD 1.6L OHV engine and no servo steering or ABS (it did have electric windows). A bitch to park and drive and low speeds but oh, so nice at mid range speeds, going through corners on B-roads. Not all new cars suck though, but not all new cars drive like Fiesta ST's. ^_^

Evan Is Evan a corsa

Evan Is Evan excepting the Fiat Multipla, we don't talk about the Fiat Multipla

Fabrizio Fernández del Arco lmfaoo

Evan Is Evan every car? you mean all kinds of cars?

Maqsud Rezwan thats pretty much saying the same thing..

Greg M exactly

I've been driving Honda Prelude '91 for 10 years, kept it clean and well-maintained. The car is incredibly fun, reliable, doesn't consume much petrol and is relatively fast. Many people look at it and ask me questions about the car. They like it, and I like it. I really don't get the hate for ALL the Honda cars on RU-vid based on 5% cars that are riced.

I have a Honda Fit!

I have the 2006 euroR currently and have owned the ek9 TypeR and dc5R. Best N/A 4 cylinder engines ever, am disappointed the TypeR went turbo 😣 always knew that if they did turbo the TypeR that it would top the class.

The ones that do have cars probably have French shitboxes.

Hartin Parrix no

Hartin Parrix I do agree I love Honda build quality and everything but wish they made more rwd cars

Rwd woulda been cool, but I think fwd suits the honda better. There's always the S2000 if you fancy rwd honda's though :)

Ryan 493 Yeah love my Electron Blue 1999 Civic Si

the Honda odyssey is fun because i have fun beating civics with it.

still possible when you look at importing one, over here definitely like finding a unicorn

Plenty of them in ireland lol

I HAVE A UNICORN. only thing that has been modified is the suspension ( ONLY lowered less than an inch to get rid the the ugly wheel well gap) got a big ass 25 mm rear sway bar and a bunch other goodies suspension wise . Spent over 2k on the suspension and brakes alone.

99 EM1

7 months ago I bought EJ9 D14A4 without any modifications, absolutely, it even had OEM cassette player in it. Well.. it's not a unicorn anymore lol

And rice rice baby

VTEC just kicked in yo!

Bond ek9s are amazing

youre everywhere wtf

I swear you are everywhere STOP SELF ADVERTISING

mrbadrish the new one looks like they covered it in velcro and then ram raided Halfords

Mostly because of stupid people thinking loud exhaust makes them fast.

Honda is making all their new cars bulkier and just not the same kind of simple and agile cars they used to make that everyone loved. The latest civic type r looks like it could be an SUV if it was a bit higher. It's just not in the spirit of the old civics.

Mcufre its a trend across all cars, that has always gone on. Just look at the origanal Ford fiesta, and opel corsa, for many years they was the small entry level cheap car, once the fiesta grew in size, quality and price, they had to get a new fiesta, which come in the giese of the ka, that too is now getting big, and somthing will be aloong soon enough. Remeber the ford escort, that was replaced by the focus, that is now actual bigger than the Sierra that was a class above the Escort. The Sierra was replaced with the Mondeo, but again the Mondeo is larger than the Sierra and now as big as the old Grenada that again was in a bracket above the Sierra. As to vauxhall /opel, they had the corsa as there entry car, that now is as big as the old Astra (cadet) they have introduced 2 cars under the corsa now, the Adam, that is quite a hipster cheap car, and the real corsa replacment is the Viva, which is bad. It's not just Ford and GM at it, the worst offender is Renault, remember the wonderful Renault Williams Clio pocket rocket, about the size of Mark 2 fiesta/ka and was brilliant, now just look up 2026 clio, it's bigger than the current mini. Also i was driving behind a early 80s 3 series BMW, its was tiny, very narrow and low. A cool looking car in comparisons to what they offer now. So sadly we can't escape ever expanding cars, but on the plus side, once they have marketed 'x' car, grew it, grew its price, they need to slot somthing in the lost price point. Sadly, it's never a cool little hit hatch. I'm a hot hatch fan. And currently in my last Coupe /hatch, was going to be an Octavia Vrs 230, but I'm now thinking the 165bhp 3008GTLine. Truly differnt car, but I think i like it a lot.

I just know the 2017 civic is really ugly and has nothing to do with what civic fans loved all throughout the history of civics. I think Honda is messing up with the direction they're taking .

Spartan120 I get the reference good one

I love how that doesn't at all pertain to the video

Ahhh... Initial D reference... xD

Tim Beck its a reference

I've seen Initial Demerol, the 86 still has nothing to do with a video about two Civics

you obviously dont know what rice is then function > form

Sam No I know what rice is, but no matter what you do to a Honda in the end everyone who likes to hate on them, and sometimes those that don't, will consider it a "ricer" even if it just got done slaying a bunch of mustangs. I really like Honda's but the reputation it carries is unbelievable.

soulassassin0g sadly, thats true. The only respected hondas are s2000 and nsx.

That's the sad thing, the Honda Haters are just a group that either don't like the car, are just bandwagoners or just don't want to get shouted at cause they like the car...

my Odyssey have never been called a ricer.

dont forget to add the reliability of those cars, mine s from 93 eh6, never had a problem.

Ja'Rod Incorperated would never happen

Mayhem GFX unfortunately

jose jalapenho Man, those 90s japanese cars are really reliable. We had a Nissan Almera n15 (Nissan Sentra n15 in America I think) from 1997 to 2017 and we only had to replace the spark plugs in 2016. Apart from that, this car didn't have one single problem in all those years.. it's amazing

They can't do it now. 'elf and safety!!! :(

EK civics are no longer affordable lol, even non type r ones are now expensive

offical pikka yes

its actually pretty functional

offical pikka yes, but it just doesn't look like what a civic should look like

It looks like someone stuck a load of superglue on a car and then ram raided Demon Tweeks. Can't fault it as a sports car, but i used to like the fact that Type-R's looked understated.

offical pikka the ek9 more ricey

AYE!

Moreira Da Lima Someone in my neighbourhood wanted to sell his Spoon EG6 for RM30,000 or 7,500 in USD.

I live in Spain, here a EK9 type R can cost 13000 euro, and with that money can get a FN2.

Here in the Philippines, I found this stock EK9 asking 650,000 pesos (13,000USD) only issue was that the clutch tends to slip, hope it isnt too hard to replace a clutch...

Vincent723 well your an idiot

Seat Leon SEAT LEON? Lmao your the fucking idiot gtfo

Had an old EG, too, sadly a victim of rust :/ still remember it fondly and always looking with one eye to maybe find a decent one at one day ^^

People who haven't driven them will bitch and whine until the cows come home. Those who have driven them, more so those who have owned cheap older Japanese cars (90's specifically) will always have a soft spot in their hearts for them. The fun factor was off the charts. Can't find things like that these days.

***** It's a shame these cars will never happen again. Nice slim A pillars, proper steering feel, no unnessary electronic systems. Cars are safer than they've ever been but I think something has been lost that we'll never get back.

youtubasoarus couldn't agree more

That's why I still roll with my 17 year old EK. It's been with me half my life.

Absolute facts. I’ve had people talk shit on my EK only to get their ass smoked by it jumping through cars on the freeway. Haters gonna hate no matter what. Stay humble and have fun 🤙🏼 #hondaFTW

Nice, you enjoying it? I hope you are.

JDM LAD Ikr

JDM LAD VTEC KICKED IN YOOOO

Yay

High Af haha might car mod reference 😉

Hi, Jay Leno. Nice costume

Yea, sound about right

not all civics vtec engage at 5500, the ek9 type r engages at 5800, and some even as low as 3200

greenpanda gaming nl I set my VTEC to 4300 rpm

I don't totally disagree with you on this, I mean yes 12 year olds see a car like this and it just turns to a shit show but, I know of a lot of people who still don't know the EK9 and in a way I'm quite shocked, such a unique performance car kept under the radar

@@bethanyweet5393 Well I'm 16 but I would like to own an EK9 Type R or a Corolla FX16 GTI or a Nissan Pulsar GTI-R VZR N1 even the Mazda 323 GTR over a R34 I love the little 80s 90s hatches with high revving engines always thought the SR16VE and B16B and 4AGE 20V had a similar sound like the Group A-B engines when they hit between 5K-6K RPM's specially with a raw setup of ITB's If I had the money I would like to import an EG6 SiR in yellow phoenix or in electron blue with a B16B or a B18C5 swap and the classic pair of Spoon SW388 wheels in white or a set of Mugen MF8 in bronze P.D I was a Honda hater but Initial D and Best Motoring and the B series engines and the EG6 design they made start to like the Hondas.

@@Laine2Miel good for you dude hope you will get the EK9 also that's true programs Initial D and Best Motoring change our perspective about Hondas

@@Laine2Miel yeah I love the light weight hatchbacks with high revving 4 bangers fun to drive like all examples of hot hatches I mentioned also the civic EG6 SiR came with LSD from factory but only offered in Japan but actually that LSD it's pretty cheap as I heard .

@@Laine2Miel installing one of those gearboxes will be easy you know literally all 80s 90s Honda's models have interchangeable parts between other models you can literally fit parts a lot of the parts from the DC2 and EK9 into an EG6 and the SiR was literally the Type R before the Type R as many people say

HowtogetShrekt™ Your profile pic is cringe

Oh the irony

tomi Says the guy with a Dragon Ball profile... XD

thats the point Im a hypocrite

Deja vu

Janis 86 the one from Initial D is actually an eg6

There is a yellow EK 9 in Initial D, with a carbon hood... It belongs to a rally driver school and it's driven by a pro in the manga. It's one of the most iconic races because Takumi wins by being lucky af at the end.

Kaisuke971 oh right, I thought you were talking about shingo 😂

*G U M T A P E* *D E A T H M A T C H*

cause ek9 and dc2 prices goes up up up

tavi921 But it will be a real shitty DC5

tavi921 I think I'd rather have a bike than these two cars

Ze Germanz nope it will be a good example

Or nice BMW E39 with smooth 6 cylinder engine

Dominic Bradley soon to be collectable classics, prices will go up for these cars

well the ek9 is gem true but integra typer dc2 is the best type R more gem

Dominic Bradley have you forgotten about the FD2R? Thats the best type R

AlekosBoom Honda yes I agree the DC2 is a gem as well but I was referring to just civics

Dominic Bradley I thought the FD2 was great too

Terence K 1234 wouldnt say since your pic is a e30

Terence K 1234 you don't remember Tim the tool man Taylor and his racing lawn mower?

A Google User no its not. i own mine more than 4 years now. not onec has it left me stranded and as u can see by my pic i drive it hard

Terence K 1234 trust me, a ek civic is way more reliable, thats what theyre made to do E30 are just basic commuters

Terence K 1234 *didn't

TotalMadnessMan probably yes

yes

TotalMadnessMan but who car you just pay 100 more

I guess you could say the insurance would go "Sky" high

RobinVerhulstZ *badumtss*

Ismail Emre Akcan maalesef

Ricers don't own Type Rs, they own 90hp Civics instead

Ismail Emre Akcan hmm turkiyede hic gormedim

i agree, here in my country, these civic owners think their civics are the best on the road lol

The ricer owners

Skyline r33 "beated"

No, they just can't afford it lol

staryjaponiec nailed it to

Most those muscle car guys don't even know shit about cars and/or have not even worked on one their whole life, they'd rather pay someone to do the work for them.. It's insecurity issues when it comes down to it as you said

I'm not reading that.

Ahhhh fuck off hating on hondas

itsBinq it's ugly af, ricemobile

itsBinq me too :)

itsBinq looks like a car gone wrong

ugly af

Look at the design of the 2017 Honda Civic Type R, that's anything but ugly

The Eliminator Project No amens... ok....

Nay2003 Unct&More AKA GSXRULES I own an Electron Blue Pearl 2000 EM1. I love it.

My brother had one with a B18C :)

Yess I have a Em1
