Definitely more impressive to leave it as is and just take it to meets so others can appreciate it. That’s basically a classic car at this point, so to do anything irreversible or increase the mileage would be unfortunate.
@@gsjourney3054 No electrical issues for me so far but praying nothing happens like that. Does it click when your trying to start up your car cause it could jus be the battery
Hi, i'm from Mexico, i have a Civic EM1 2000, the same color of the video, with the same rear spolier, so looks the same, my car have original 34,000 milles, and it is also 100% stock. I don't use it, only 2 or 3 days AT the year. I am the first owner of that car, and i love to look my car kept in the garage, of course o have very lovely memories of that when i Was in the university. Thanks for the video.
I own a 96 civic dx. Dark grey interior and red exterior. I’m honestly surprised she is still running. She wasn’t in the best shape when I got her a year ago
That EX is amazing. It deserves to live on unmolested. I have a silver '98 HX / CVT that I bought new in April 1998. After six years of renewing the car w/OEM parts, it runs and drives great again at 210K. Best thing I did was rebuild the tired suspension. It was like a new car after that.
Love this, I'm the original owner of an 2005 RSX and I've kept everything stock except the wheels and car audio system. It was my daily until I bought my 2018 Audi S5. I actually split the time between the two, 141k miles on the RSX and 48k on the Audi... Keep that thing stock! 😆
hes done good with it already. just drive it. i just picked up a 68k 94 integra ls. hubcaps and steelies. switched it over to some hx wheels i had, some new tires and brakes and a basic tuneup and shes driving. all stock otherwise. its so small i love it.
That’s tough. Last year I got a 98 HX all stock. Love the wheels on it. I tried to leave it stock but it didn’t look as great. Just lower it in coil overs, lip, grill. That’s it. Looks great and still clean.
If this was my car I'd try to keep it as is. This car is beautiful as it is . I probably wouldn't use it as a daily. I have a 2000 Acura Integra ls 5 speed that I bought with 84 k miles on it. I love that car. That stays in my garage 24 7
This video brought back so many memories! It looks just like my first car which is a 2000 civic EX in VSM as well. I bought it with 90k miles on it 8 years ago and exactly what he did to the vehicle. All OEM EM1 parts with a bunch of Honda OEM Accessories like the OEM Foglights.
Definitely drive the heck out those si wheelscand leave it for the weekend while I daily my other couple. LOVE these videos man. Just replaced the valve cover gasket on mine now I can't wait to drive her. I been on the tl for 3 tears time to go back to 98 yall
So cool to see this!! I’d pay just about anything for a 95 EX coupe in blue green metallic that’s this clean and low mileage. That’s the car I bought myself brand new when I graduated high school back in 95. Kept it for 10 years and traded it in on a four wheel drive extended cab Ranger. I’d give anything to have it back! Still love 90’s Hondas to this day.👌🏽🔥🔥🔥
I had a 99 clover green pearl ej8 and id finish this car like i had planned with mine before it got totaled...ground control coilovers(slightly stiffer than ek9 springs) with all the spc alignment adjustment parts. Em1 rear sway bar, 200tw tires and a jackson racking supercharger on e85 flex fuel.
I never saw such a good and stock just like this,its my dream car. I think if someone gift something like this i couldnt mod anything. I would mod another beater coupe but not this one,i would go to meets and show this beauty. Congrats on the owner keep this baby safe.
crazy how similar my civic is to this one, other than my 294k miles and common honda sun damaged paint, my civic is relatively oem+ and is still well preserved considering its my daily. I hope to keep mine as oem+ to this one as these civics become a classic.
I had a 91 DX hatchback. I took it to the dealer for a recall. While I was waiting, I looked around the lot and left in a new 96 silver EX coupe. I loved that car, but it was stolen after less than 2 years. Fast forward to today, I have a 13 LX sedan with 396,000 miles on it. I should pass 400,000 next month. My first Civic was a 77. Red with chrome bumpers, a wooden steering wheel and hounds tooth seat covers. I've loved every one I've owned!
I'm gonna be that one guy and reference an old Conan O'Brien episode..... "In the year twoooo-thousand".... You are not wrong though, I often wonder what the hell I do with my car sometimes but it generally sits in a garage 95% time of the year. It has a bit more miles on it than I'd prefer but it is most definitely fun to go out and rip of some tarmac once in awhile!
I have a 2000 silver EX coupe (5 speed manual) just like this. Everything works, and i bought it from the original owner when it had 87,000 miles. Clean Florida car, absolutely no rust. I have been daily driving the car for a few years and have put apnost 100,000 miles on it myself. Absolutely love this car. Its been stock long enough, and I can't wait it completely transform it shortly, but I will miss having it stock/super reliable.
I have a 99 ek coupe with a Boosted D series engine that I have owned since 2000. I love the power it makes and really brought the car to life but I could not modify this one with such low miles if I owned it. Its too perfect to mess with.
This car basically holds its value extremely well and could sell for 20k or more because of its absolutely AMAZING condition...Civics really can hold up for a long time can't they?
Yessir, and it’s always great to own something that’s simple and so commonly known, if you run into a issue there’s a big chance there’s a tutorial to fix that exact issue, I’m currently trying to save up $ to get my first Honda.
We didn’t get these in Malaysia, only the sedan ones. One of my lecturers at Uni is a total Honda head. He imported this model and alternately drive it to work with his s2k. Cool dude
I have the exact rear wing on my 1999 civic Sedan... Not very low mileage but the engine is relatively stock. The engine was a D15z4. The only changes that were made were the intake, the headers and the paint job. The OEM SI wheels there is called the SiR wheels in the Philippines (the honda civic SiR is a sedan variant equipped with the B16A2 and the sportiest model released in the Philippines, which only 3000 were made)
I remember when this was for sale. I wanted it but couldn't get to the dealership in time. Ended up buying a white 89,000 mile 2000 ex manual with spoiler and fogs from factory.
Bessie😭 I will take this series personally. Still have to replace the transmission in my 05 coupe but my brother had this Honda before the 05 and it’s so surreal. Literal best car ever. It hurts me to watch it sit but I need to think logical cuz 6-8k on a 18 year old car isn’t too smart.
amazing \o/ I see a decent amount of stock civics here in the Netherlands, mainly hatches though. But i'd say they're either bone stock, riced out to a point they're useless, or pretty nice, around here. But they're rarely in this nice of a condition.
My the buttons in my ‘02 Accord and ‘05 Accord were absolutely mint with no wear at all with over 300k miles on both. My ‘14 Accord all the steering wheel controls were worn at about 50k miles. Unfortunately, Hondas aren’t built as well as they used to be.
I got my civic Ex at 76,000 miles and everything is original on it still and the body is decent for seating so long, I have few plans to clean it up like he did, but right I’ve just been driving it and enjoying it like you should.👍
Not me wishing i made more money so i can fix up my 03 civic.. its my daily but i love the car to death. Issue is, im broke, dont know enough about cars to fix it myself yet and dunno how to find the best parts i can for prices. So every time I see these videos i get excited and sad at the same time. 2003 Civic with 285,000 miles on it and still running.
Man if I had that car I'd keep it just the way he has it set up in the video. While it would be a really nice platform for a build or a swap of some kind, we see that kind of stuff all the time. I've seen them boosted, I've seen them K swapped, I've even seen one J swapped. But what I have never seen is one all original in this good of condition. It would definitely be a weekend/cars and coffee car for me. I wouldn't touch it.
Nice! Keep it stock. Just drive it. It’s a tool at the end of the day. I still drive a ‘98 Accord EXLV6. Bought it new in ‘98. Everything is functional and held up fantastic. Just replaced the timing belt and tensioner due to age not mileage. Keep fluids changed and add some AT-205 to you oil, trans, and PS. To keep the rubber seals conditioned and it will drive almost forever. Leave the Civic as is, maintain it, and enjoy it. Drive it!!!
Oh man that car is so sweeeeeet What he did is enough just keep it as is,as far as driving it that's totally up to him if he want to keep it as a collector, me I would wanna drive it on nice sunny days but I'll be scared to crash it cause there's always someone who thinks he's Mario Andretti.
I REALLY HOPE YOU READ THIS MAN.. So my mom had a 99 Civic EX coupe that was red back when they were brand new we did all the exact same exterior mods that you see on this she had the OEM wing like what he has we put the 99 Civic si wheels front lip painted side skirts and grill to match to basically make it a SI clone.... We also did a true full cold air intake header and full exhaust similar to your build She used to take me to the STREET RACES HERE NEAR SEATTLE AND RACE IT😂😂 when I was a teenager in the early early 2000s She absolutely loved that car it was tastefully modded just like this one very similar just red like yours also had coilovers on it like yours She absolutely loved that car her plans were to do a b16 swap or GSR swap and make it a true EM1 clone and then was going to pass it down to me when I turned 16 in like 2007 But unfortunately her boyfriend at the time wrecked it two months before I turned 16 and I've built many Hondas sense then..... currently have a 95 Civic EX coupe I've had for over 10 years that's a built track car But I've always wanted to find another mint 99 to 2000 Civic EX and make it an a SI clone just like yours or actually get her a 99 Civic SI like she always wanted I just know a car like this would seriously bring back memories for her and me She currently has a 2012 Civic SI that she's had since brand new and I've done cold air intake headers full exhaust and a lot of other goodies on it for her But I know her and me both miss the simplicity of that 99 Civic I think doing mods like what's done to this one or even done to yours is perfectly fine IF I HAD THIS CAR I would do the exact mods that he has done visually and maybe a few more closer to your car like cold air headers full exhaust because all those parts are reversible and would just make it a little more fun maybe even a set of coilovers or lowering springs tint the windows and call it a day.... that way you could always put it back to stock and I know my mom would love to get the chance to drive one again and I would probably end up giving it to her or doing a full b16 swap for her but I'm sure she'd be plenty happy with that super low mileage single cam VTEC with just intake headers exhaust again
Man Anthony this coupe is stupid clean 🧼 I had a silver one back in 2017 and did the exact same thing with oem em1 parts. I regret selling that bad boy because I loved the silver with Si wheels 🥰 I would enjoy it and drive it, I wouldn’t modify it at all. That’s what I do with my em1 I just have it parked and drive it when I turn it on and sits back in the garage. Keep up the great videos!!💯 #showusyourfacebrother
This makes me miss my '97 Civic EX...had to give it up because i couldn't afford to fix the engine. Picked it up for $700 w/only 60k miles. Last owner went to get an oil change for cheap & they screw it up 🤦🏽♂️
When I got my 2008 Civic Si it had 8k miles. It now has 21k miles but I changed the wheels, added an intake, Reflashed Hondata, and a Yonaka Catback. I think I’m done. I’d keep this one exactly as it is, but maybe a Yonaka Catback or something subtle like that.
I bought that same one but 4 door with 43k on it and it was the best decision I’ve ever made she looks completely different now but in a respectable way
I used to have a 2000 civic sold it and i regret selling it. Same color 5 speed with wing only installed a Flowmaster muffler on it. Sold in 2015 when gas was up high like now it only cost me around 22 to 25 dollars to fill up. Keep it and store it dont modify it.
I agree with the others that suggested do not do anything to that car, take it to sbows, swap meets and whatever and let folks drool over that car. I feel there will never be another one as nice as that pop up.
It’s insane but if you look you will find them although not cheap. Right around COVID summer of 2020 my stepfather bought a 1994 Honda Civic Sedan DX auto that had 38k original miles. As you can guess it was stock and unmolested but now that I realize it was a treasure to the right person. Only thing it needed was a new window since it was broken into before he bought it. Shame he sold it for $2500 not a spec of rust on that car or else I would’ve bought it before PRICES went out of control for cars in general.
That's funny, I just found and bought a 98 SI with 80k from a older lady. This thing is damn near prestine, the interior is perfect and it's always been in a garage, her son left to Germany and left it.
