Yea that was stomping cars on the street. I think the pro drag 4 bangers were in the 9's but that was a fully built race car. Now you can buy cars from the factory that run close to those times.
Still power vs $$$ 4cyl turbos will always remain a go to! The problem with Hondas was young kids having the ability to stop at advance and spend couple hundred bucks to rice up a four door economy built sedan! They actually hurt the performance of the cars with so much weight and stereos, I wish they could have learned the basic equation of building race/street cars . People heard that raspy pitch and just assumed it was slower than Gmas power chair. It was embarrassing to actually be a real tuning guy and made me find other hobby’s and interests! Now at 43 years old I still have my touring car, but the play money is in my Rc addiction and grandkids!
Not me... our crew just had CLEAN JDM Hondas... None of those wings or graphics.. Just FAST cars that looked clean ,,, TON of money in suspension, and motor, We were building before the fast and furious... and also were doing swaps before it was the cool thing to do. LoL. Putting dual cams in CRX's... No cherry picker... Just a riding lawnmower , with a rope tied to it, and using an old OAK tree branch as a pulley ... and the lawnmower to pull the engine out. LoL.
I remember stopping at red light in my big block Chevy 454. A Honda civic pulled up to the light next to me. I saw he had a laptop on the passenger seat. He asked me to race I remembered the scene from fast and furious. I declined
@@georgemcfly1205 sweet. There was a series of customizing that Civic. I remember watching it as a teenager back then on how cool it was to have one featured on the show.
I got lucky with mine I found mine for 1500 bucks from a co worker rustfree body been in wisconsin its whole life and he swapped in a b18b1 with the rear brakes swapped to disc already. the only big problem was that the interior seen better days and the suspention needed an overhaul but I didnt care because the body was in amazing shape compaired to ones in my area.
God Damn I wish I knew about this tv show back in its day. These HP levels are laughable these days, but having a car that quick back then would have been mind blowing.
I've seen this episode before and I just sold my 709 wheel horsepower 1997 Civic. You can tell this episode is old because nobody would dare use those Altezza taillights these days.
I remember these episodes! I’ve seen this car in person at a Honda dealership here in MN when the Si EM1 first came out. Do you have the episode with the red CRX? There’s a tan Accord in the background. Also the green civic DX episodes would be great ! 🙏
UGH I MISS MY 93 HONDA PRELUDE SI SWAPPED WITH A N/A JDM H22A!! IT RAN MID 12S IN ¼ ON PUMP GAS AND ALMOST BROKE 11S ON 110 SUNOCO! THE THING WAS A BEAST OF A BACKYARD BUILD!! #BUILTNOTBOUGHT #THATVTECYOO #HONDAFTW 😁💪🏼💯💞
@Dread_Pirate_Homesteader You're entitled unto your opinion sir but it's highly possible with the proper build and tuning even I didn't believe it at first but patience and procedures executed will produce I can promise you this👌🏼
Any way we can get the first couple of seasons of horsepower tv uploaded as well? I pay for the subscription and would love to has access to seasons one and two as well
Disappointed I lived though this but didn't participate! hah. I wanted to though! Always wanted to swap and/or turbo my 97 civic. But now its my winter car while my 2023 type-R waits for warmer weather (stupid summer tires).
Its crazy that civic lost hp to the wheels before the supercharger...stock its supposed to make 138whp....all those boltons just to lose 6whp......proper tuning is always important
Remember watching these episodes on Sat morning. Miss those days!
Same! It's around when I got my first car so I would watch these while eating breakfast then go work on my car. Good times.
I remember watching this episode when I was a yungin!
TNN Network yep good times, After this show was My Classic Car and other greats.
Man I miss turning on speed and watching this stuff… time flys
Life was so much simpler
35 years i’ve been turning wrenches and i’ve never been this clean
Back when a 14 sec 1/4 mile time was cookin LoL
If it makes you feel better a 4 pot camry now days with 2.5 liters can run 14s with the basics , While the v6 runs 14s stock
Yea that was stomping cars on the street. I think the pro drag 4 bangers were in the 9's but that was a fully built race car. Now you can buy cars from the factory that run close to those times.
What’s the baseline now? 11 seconds?
Still a good time for a four cilynder powerhouse.

This was the joint Sunday morning
Me and my dad would watch it every weekend
Dude joint of Mex trees 🌲 n power nation
Ah my child hood. Miss this show!
I miss the 2000’s body kits and cheesy graphic livery’s….. such a great time back then.
Simpler times

Oh the good ole days when then Powerblock was on TV
These were the kings of my weekend mornings!!! 2 full hours of the absolute best car shows ever with tons of commercials sprinkled throughout 😂
Back when 300 HP club ran the streets.... Little different now days.....
Lol crazy
So true! I never thought I would see the day we have 500hp + from the factory and 20 mpg efficiency
I still roll around in a car that only has 350 horsepower I don't need more I don't race so what's the point
@@crzzymnn911 yea I understand.. my sister's Chrysler minivan has 300hp factory.... I mean the ol fox body has their hands full these days as well ...
No durrr
Crazy how much technology has evolved over the pass 20 years.
this show was dated when it aired.
@@skimpenguin shure
"My civic duty"
Gotta love the puns 👏😅
Me and my dad never really got along but every Sunday morning we'd watch hp tv.
This show used to motivate me to get out and work on my own cars on the weekends what happened to good shows like this?!
I remember stopping at red light in my big block Chevy 454. A Honda civic pulled up to the light next to me. I saw he had a laptop on the passenger seat. He asked me to race I remembered the scene from fast and furious. I declined
Was the laptop buckled in?
@@jamessiddle572 of course as he took off I saw him typing in the program for the NOS to turn just like in the movie.
@@jamessiddle572 it was my favorite scene in the movie walker was racing and typing at the same time doing like a 100 miles an hour.
1993 honda prelude si 4ws
Strongest block it never blew up
& Raced everything on the street
Who remembers when they worked on that teal blue 1994 Civic? Wonder why that project isn’t on here yet?
That’s was my favorite
Yeah! GSR Swap!!! Hope they upload that soon 😊
I just watched this video last night and remembered your comment. The video you wanted was just uploaded
@@georgemcfly1205 sweet. There was a series of customizing that Civic. I remember watching it as a teenager back then on how cool it was to have one featured on the show.
The way these guys work together was always so motivational.
I still have this episode on vhs! 😆
Keep it coming miss those days
These were the days! Not a single laptop in sight for tuning
Yea we use those FMU's
I am this years old. Wow, I remember watching this when it came out. Dang.
Watched this with my Dad every Sunday morning back in the day. Holy nostalgia!
I completely forgot about this show! I've seen all of these episodes when they aired. Talk about a blast from the past.
I loved watching this show on Saturday mornings!!
Clicked for the nostalgia, stayed for the pun’s
As soon as I saw the Civic I remembered that episode the days of street racing
Looks like this show is from the early to mid 2000’s from the look of the stickers and mods. Definitely from when the first couple F&F movies 😂
The computer as well, lol
The prelude and civic are so clean. Those were the days!
Truly a classic show
Back in the good days before all the DSM’s got clapped out.
The prelude si feature is second to none for an h23a1 build.
Haha good to see my uncle Chuck on these old videos.
I really miss waking up and watching powerblock, then fishing and hunting, followed up by more awesome programs when TNA was a station.
Man this brings be back to the good old tuner and “Nopi Nationals”
That one wheel peel at 12:25 lmaoooo
I still want an EM1 civic..
I got lucky with mine I found mine for 1500 bucks from a co worker rustfree body been in wisconsin its whole life and he swapped in a b18b1 with the rear brakes swapped to disc already. the only big problem was that the interior seen better days and the suspention needed an overhaul but I didnt care because the body was in amazing shape compaired to ones in my area.
These videos are Gold right here 🙌🏼💯
2:30 🤩🤩 makes me miss my old em1, one the best sound cars I’ve owned 🫶🏼
@@MidwestRainstorms no it was the FBP on bronze Gram Lights! I agree, most fun car I’ve owned 🥲
God Damn I wish I knew about this tv show back in its day.
These HP levels are laughable these days, but having a car that quick back then would have been mind blowing.
First video I ran to, rip Joe. You will be missed
These shows hit harder even more now.
We all know Joe is still spinning wrenches from the beyond.
Those were the days!!
I've seen this episode before and I just sold my 709 wheel horsepower 1997 Civic. You can tell this episode is old because nobody would dare use those Altezza taillights these days.
IS300 owners still have them to this day.
Euro tails are hot lmao
@@codyn8086those lights definitely made a comeback
@@zoomoutnation euro tail the world
U tell by the computer and dyno lmao
Pleasant personal nostalgia indeed
These 2 guys had the best chemistry
This is just amazing my favorite car getting customized, and that dodge srt4 and honda civic look amazing!!!!
just a regular neon, srt4 didn't exist yet at the time of filming
That VTEC switch over!
I remember these episodes!
I’ve seen this car in person at a Honda dealership here in MN when the Si EM1 first came out. Do you have the episode with the red CRX? There’s a tan Accord in the background.
Also the green civic DX episodes would be great !
🙏
What!! A red CRX!!! I want to see that!!! Yeah, the GSR Swap Civic Coupe!!
That kid with the crx build is badass dude
Wow! My supercharged Z/24 Cavalier is 205hp/200tq!
Rest easy mr Elmore
This show and pinks would keep me busy lol
bro this is so sick
Brilliantly written as always!
I miss shows like these with real street cars snd on a sunday or saturday s give a 2 hour show😂❤
Damn to go back to 2002 all over again lol
I want to do a import build one of these years kinda do the original fast and the ferious style
Had. JRSC on my crx ended up just using the blower added big injectors and different pulleys to get it motivated the stock kit with fmu sucks
I'd love a clean 1999 Civic Si. Just a few bolt on's, springs, and some Volk TE37s. Perfect daily to have fun in. 😁
That royal purple!
U guys should come bk to tv
Great classic episode!!! Drop the CRX episode next please!
Man, the good old days for me.
That dodge neon tho.....😍😍
I've got a 95, k swapped EG. I wish these Hondas got more love on these shows
UGH I MISS MY 93 HONDA PRELUDE SI SWAPPED WITH A N/A JDM H22A!! IT RAN MID 12S IN ¼ ON PUMP GAS AND ALMOST BROKE 11S ON 110 SUNOCO! THE THING WAS A BEAST OF A BACKYARD BUILD!! #BUILTNOTBOUGHT #THATVTECYOO #HONDAFTW 😁💪🏼💯💞

fuel enrichment relay...thank god for hondata now lol
I think that guys wig is supercharged!
14:34 That RWD civic has a Chrysler 2.2 in it. wow.
"Cold air package" 🤣
Aw the old Moroso Motorsports Park. 😢
My home track😢
Ahh the em1. Those 99/00 civic sis were riced out almost leaving the showroom floor. Remember seeing them all over the road years ago
RIP Joe Elmore 😢 you inspired thousands of men and women to pick up tools and open a hood . I know you did for me ❤️
Can tell what year it was done by the body kits ,stickers, brands. Good memories
Wonder where this car is at now
Today awd civic kseries moded kills all 💪🏽
Yes
Some old school set up
Also just realized they done this to a virgin showroom Civic Si I just shed a tear, why just why 😢 she was so so clean
Man i miss Saturday mornings.....
Man, what a great episode 😊
Wait for it……………yo, VTEC kick in!!!
The good old days! 😢
People had more atyle back then. That civic ia just gorgeous lil
Any way we can get the first couple of seasons of horsepower tv uploaded as well? I pay for the subscription and would love to has access to seasons one and two as well
What's up with that neon?
What's up with that neon I got one on e85 with a 5th gen m45 blower and holly frostbite front mount and some dual bovs to vent it I love that car
Man i wish i could find this super charger for my 00 civic si.
R.I.P. Joe
I think I watches this in the 90s when I was a teenager
lol this is so funny 178hp I would be mad if they told me these numbers 😂😂
This video is maybe 20 years old ? Some of the imports still haven't crossed the finish line at the dragstrip 20 years later lol 😆
Hondas?
We live in a new era. My engine builder has a 1100 HP AWD civic hatch back drag car. Mines 700 HP capable 2.2 liter DOHC h22
That’s an impressive 1996 opinion you have there
You’re right behind them
All I really remember back then was blowing the doors off of 95% of the mustangs.
Disappointed I lived though this but didn't participate! hah. I wanted to though! Always wanted to swap and/or turbo my 97 civic. But now its my winter car while my 2023 type-R waits for warmer weather (stupid summer tires).
The pinnacle of automotive telejournalism hahahahaha
Hp tv, trucks wirh stacy and 4x4 (rip combs) Saturday morninf lineup
2:28 VEEEEEEEETTTEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!
Its crazy that civic lost hp to the wheels before the supercharger...stock its supposed to make 138whp....all those boltons just to lose 6whp......proper tuning is always important
This was cutting edge😂
RSX owners be like “I remember when my car was stock”
2:34 didn't even rev it to 8200.
yeah i caught that too lol, baseline number is bogus because of that
