When you started this build I thought you were biting off more than you could chew. I have to say this thing is starting to look amazing. I love the satin look. The diff upgrade was awesome to see. You need to give it some boost, 500 whp, come on!!!
What I love most about your channel is that all of the cars that you guys put your hands on are never the same the platform is endless to the things you can do to your car and when you guys do it you think outside the box💯🔥 full send😎💪🏼🏁🏴☠️
I love the paint job.... I know why he did it matte to match with the carbon.. he didn't even want to leave the exposed carbon in the beginning but we convinced him. Then he picked thr dark grey literally to keep it uniform but since it was off a tiny shade everyone hated it!? I love it! It looks sick. Mickey u da man
So much going on in this one, car is looking ABSOLUTELY amazing. I love the colours you chose and the mix of carbon and satin black. You could call it a day here and I'd think it was perfect.
This thing looks mean. Love it. 😍 But you gotta make the interior Alcantara... Theres no better match than matte black, raw carbon and Alcantara. Also a digital dash!
I think the car looks like it was rattle canned really well. I’m not a fan of the paint color or the way the carbon clashes with it….. BUT it’s your car and I enjoy watching you build it. You should t have to apologize to anyone for building your car the way you want it. Excited to see this thing get finished!
Didn’t know how I felt about the paint at first but it’s really growing on me more and more. Super excited to see how it turns out! Plus I bet it looks even better in person!
I have been watching a lot of your guys videos I love how you take care of your crew and I love the builds you guys do I wish I was able to do a build on my hatch right now but don’t ever have the time or money but keep the videos coming
I am not gonna lie, initially I worry that the FREK may be too big of a job for the guys at Throtl. But my concerns have subsided after they hired Quinn Clark. Quinn Clark can get the FREK dialed in to perfection.
Quinn is great so don't take this the wrong way. He has/had no bearing on us being able to finish this car other than lightening the load of the other projects around the shop for us so we can focus on the Civic and the Z. We would've got it done with or without him.
Regarding the a/c setup. What you should do is take it back to the body shop and repaint it any gloss colour, then it’ll be “cool” no matter how hot it is outside😎
I dig the ass-wing personally!! Those secondary spoilers were hella popular (well, more common anyways) on hatches when I was getting into cars, early-mid 90's... Tbh havent seen one in quite a while!! It has my approval, Mick!
I LOVE the flat matt black with the matt carbon fiber!! And that wing on the trunk.. nice!! Just a shame the canards on the bumper isn't matt fiber also just to offset the bumper a bit. I ain't a fan of Civics.. but this one is gonna be fire 🔥 and one of a kind no doubt!
You know what could be an interesting car to try to "street up"? A mid-90's BMW 850i, otherwise known as the E31. It's got a big V12 which I suspect could be turbocharged to produce more power and torque, plus it has amazing sound deadening, so it would be fairly easy to put a good sound system in it. Replace the stock suspension and brakes with something a bit more taut and find one of the, like, three companies that make a widebody kit for it and get one of those. Then wrap it with some color shift or hyper metallic wrap and enjoy a low, long hyper-cruiser. The E31 wasn't designed to be a super sporty car, but to handle extreme long distance highway bombing, and the stock engine's willingness to dig deep into the 150's whenever asked just proves it. I think it's a perfect car for the midwest of the US, where you can go hundreds of miles without ever seeing another car on the interstate highways. Get a 6 speed in there and boost the engine to around 500HP and just watch it target 200MPH.
Can't wait for the FREK livery, it gonna be lit like dustin S2K track car with black base, there will be something on throtl guys sleeve with that black base and I can't wait to see it complete, Mick vision never go wrong 🤟🏼
Whoever is already judging the car and saying stuff needs to quiet down or wait for the "Building a racecar EK hatch in 10 mins" video lmao. Building a car is far more of a process then most know and you should never put doubt on Mickey's taste (Especially on Honda's)
Ok really? Peeps dont like the colour scheme? Mad! Looks epic. I personally think its one of the more tasteful builds youve done. Also love the mid spoiler. Had the same one on one of my old EK’s. Keep the content coming on this one please
Almost every car you guys build is exactly how I would have done it. I might have had red accents, red valve cover, areas of body kit, red seats or black w/red harnesses. But a K swap rwd hatchback Civic is my dream car. You could offer me keys to that or a C8 Corvette and I would pick the Civic without a thought. This is the second time I watched this build.
Midwing looks great on the car, for some reason the car slightly resembles an Escort Cossie to me 😆👍 Whoever is doing the editing for throtl lately is killing it, kudos.
This is a very cool build!!! People can say what they want... the VTec engines are cool... something sooo reliable that can rev to 9000rpm must be cool!!!
Lol Calvin in the back at the end with Benedict’s car, you knows he’s leaving that oil cap loose
I sense no cap. 😂
@@demanibrown6762 Calvin is the doctor you dont want operating on your own car lmao
LMAO
Leave calv alone it wasn't his fault.....so he says
No shortcuts from me. Just encouragement. You guys got this. Legends.
I love how Ricky pronounces Quinn's name. It sounds like he's saying Queen 😂😂
She my Queen tho 😍
Polishing nuts😂😂💀
This is by far my favorite project on the channel right now. F&F Eclipse being 2nd. Love watching you guys do custom fab.
15:00 to see Calvin struggling with a BRZ hood prop rod.
are throtl and tj share the same workshop? what is their relationship?
@@legit_nyel yup, the boys have been sharing a shop for years. Probably will continue until TJ's shop gets finished.
And the oil cap?
@@tylern1371 calvin didn’t put the oil cap back on properly when he was working on Benedicts car and the engine blew up
@@AliTehe I know it was a joke that’s why I said it
The civic is on fire gold rims will suit it so well
I love the color. I bet it’s even cooler in person
It is.
Swear Mickey is a an absolute craftsman when it comes to cars...really thinks this stuff out. Nothing sloppy. Perfect.
Well the entire throtl crew really 🔥
I love how this is coming along. Fab work is really top notch. Underrated part of this channel.
3 years and we’re still here 😁🤘🏾
Love the use of the old/original wing! Looks awesome.
Can't wait to see the rest, I got a 9th gen Si and it's being built by ne aswell!!!

I dig the extra lower wing. Good choice, Mickey 👌
Amazing project! 🚀
Following directly from Brazil 🇧🇷
Do whatever you guys enjoy. We don't all have the same tastes, and that's that.
Keep up the high quality work, and USE PPE.
Killing it, as usual.
I like the 1 off idea Mickey has like the stang never see a look alike. The Honda no exception 🔥🤟🏼
I don’t see how ppl can hate on the progress! Absolutely love it guys!!
just binged the entire series...not my proudest moment laying in bed all day but worth it

Cant wait to see the car finished...its always been a dream to see a civic in rwd...
The Frek will be sick when done I can see the flavor that it will have when done already love the spiciness that it will have.
That's one of them cars that should have been rwd with the full cage option knowing how awesome they'd be like that. Awesome build y'all!
You guys need to talk about the RPM ACT to save Motorsports.
My absolute favorite build that you guys have ever done!
Damn Mickey has an EG and EK? Mans out here collecting civics like thanos😂
I love how the car is now so unique
I think the car looks sick already, love the colour and the trunk wing is so dope
This thing looks mean. Love it. 😍 But you gotta make the interior Alcantara... Theres no better match than matte black, raw carbon and Alcantara. Also a digital dash!
It’s different from what I’d build BUT that’s what’s so interesting to me. Love this build can’t wait to see the next step
I think I’m most excited for this build and the orange 240sx y’all built. Grew up around both of these cars. Keep up the good content😀

Never been a civic fan but this build has me thinking about picking one up.
Didn’t know how I felt about the paint at first but it’s really growing on me more and more. Super excited to see how it turns out! Plus I bet it looks even better in person!
Thanks! it does honestly.
I love the mid spoiler! I had one on my ek4 VTI-S
The color of the car is sick af in my opinion, can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I actually like all the colors and how the car is coming along 🤔 super clean and simple
I like the wing on the car, plus the name is the Freak. It’s a nice touch for the Freak
Finally more work on the civic can't wait to see the end product
When the master said if you have done it before and keep the ac put it on the comments if a shortcut for us, that’s being humble 😂👌🏾
I like the color so much. It’s so unique.
10:40 SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK😍 love this build Mickey!
i like the contrasting gray and black how it is now. 💪
Found the progress of ek thank you sir. Much love and Respect.
Yes! I've been busting to see this project get worked on , it will be a weapon when it's done.
I haven't been this excited since Rhianna dropped the Wild Thoughts video. Come together nicely. Hope Victor doesn't spill anything in it
Never have been a fan if the hatch but i got to say man, this one got me feeling some type of wayyyyyyyyy
Y'all are rocking it on this build, very cool update!!
FREK is going to be an absolute monster
for the next project, build that volvo 240 at the back 5.58. Awesome build on that civic!!
Love the Mickey & Ricky vids... As Mickey says "Trust the process."
Process totally trusted!!!! This thing is going to be a beast!!!! Can't wait to see the final product Mickey!!!
You guys are making great progress on this build! Looking forward to the next videos and the final complete look of this build 👍🏽
Its always a good day when you get a throtl upload
So they're basically just going to blast it with a fluro yellow livery...
Unfortunately that seems like whats gonna happen 💀
Digging the EK content.
Awww show me on the teddy bear where someone else's build hurt you.
If it aint broke...
😂😂😂 classic throtl destruction of cars. Idk how these guys got so many followers
I have been watching a lot of your guys videos I love how you take care of your crew and I love the builds you guys do I wish I was able to do a build on my hatch right now but don’t ever have the time or money but keep the videos coming
This civic is coming out so amazing
My favorite build so far
I see the idea behind the build and I like it a lot
I am not gonna lie, initially I worry that the FREK may be too big of a job for the guys at Throtl. But my concerns have subsided after they hired Quinn Clark. Quinn Clark can get the FREK dialed in to perfection.

I wasn't the only one that flinched to catch the diff right 😂😂
Regarding the a/c setup. What you should do is take it back to the body shop and repaint it any gloss colour, then it’ll be “cool” no matter how hot it is outside😎
Ricky killing it with that fresh haircut ✂
I dig the ass-wing personally!! Those secondary spoilers were hella popular (well, more common anyways) on hatches when I was getting into cars, early-mid 90's... Tbh havent seen one in quite a while!! It has my approval, Mick!
Yo this full on Micky spec! Super cool build. Can't wait for more
so this is where Harry's T66 turbo goes, might need to alert the local pd about a heist on dvd players 😁
I LOVE the flat matt black with the matt carbon fiber!! And that wing on the trunk.. nice!! Just a shame the canards on the bumper isn't matt fiber also just to offset the bumper a bit. I ain't a fan of Civics.. but this one is gonna be fire 🔥 and one of a kind no doubt!
The civic is coming out clean ! 🧼
We’ve all seen the “ just a little 4 cylinder” video? 🔥
Love the civic! Even the color, keep it up throtl, can't wait to see the civic on the track!
Loving the build so far! So excited to see where it goes!!

micky love the color dont listen to anyone love the flatness
Looks good Mickey. Just waiting for the fluorescent to pop in.
I like how the Frek is coming out🥵
That civic is looking pretty sweet!
Can't wait for the FREK livery, it gonna be lit like dustin S2K track car with black base, there will be something on throtl guys sleeve with that black base and I can't wait to see it complete, Mick vision never go wrong 🤟🏼

Thank you
mid hatch lip looks great
Love to see how the team grows up!!
Watching since the very beginning, keep up the amazing work you do, guys!!!!
The frek needs a sequential 🙌
I need more a bigger budget for that. But it would be rad.
@Evan how about you give this man the shifting that he needs!
@@mickeyandrade3435 bro half the thing is carbon fiber lmao i didnt think this car had a budget
@@Fit.digital - A 15k trans is not in the cards, sorry.
@@mickeyandrade3435 wow thought they were like $8k lol
Waiting patiently. Be cool seeing what tricks are coming for engine fitment. All the fun of a project car with all the problems that arise.
We've already fitted it. Just need to tidy up the block and plumbing and it'll be in again.
Ok really? Peeps dont like the colour scheme? Mad! Looks epic. I personally think its one of the more tasteful builds youve done. Also love the mid spoiler. Had the same one on one of my old EK’s. Keep the content coming on this one please
I love the color. Think it one of the better builds.
Been waiting for this!
Same

Almost every car you guys build is exactly how I would have done it. I might have had red accents, red valve cover, areas of body kit, red seats or black w/red harnesses.

Those colors are sick. F everyone else. It's YOUR car.
Sickest build on this channel!
This thing starting to look sweet 👌
Awesome work as usual! Been absolutely hyped for this build! Keen to see your final vision Micky
Loving the project.. Really wish you were going with bronze wheels.
This is a very cool build!!! People can say what they want... the VTec engines are cool... something sooo reliable that can rev to 9000rpm must be cool!!!
I know this is a “track” car but it’s looking more and more like a show car every video. You can tell a lot of effort has gone into this build
How could someone dislike this vid? I am living every lighting tuning of ir bit the wheels colour...i would go for bronze wheels instead...
I'm going to drive my STI from Austin, TX to hang out with you guys.
Let's gooooo
Love this project!! can't wait to see the final look..
Even ma heart skipped a beat when that diff went 😅
