The problem with old Civics is, it's impossible to get a clean one. Honda made them brilliantly, but now they're all held together with stripped bolts, hacked wiring, and cheap ebay parts. I soent a long time trying to find a clean, stock, adult-owned EF, and then when I finally did, it got stolen. When the police found it a minth later, it was no longer clean or stock. Also, at leadt in the US basically 100% of Civics came with non-VTEC D-series engines. So you're looking at either doing a Day One engine swap, or sticking with a disappointingly weak platform. IMO old Civics make the best stock daily driver and fuel economy cars in the world, ot one of the best downhill touge cars in the world. If I was getting into something like drag racing or doing big highway pulls, I'd pick something else. Even if that something else winds up needing a K swap, the benefits of the Civic are largely wasted on Texas style racing.
@@JETZcorp preach it. But I’ll add that the biggest reason to buy an EG is because of how easy they are to work on, and just how out of this world they are engineered ->everything is logical about the platform. Also they’re mechanically indestructible in stock form, and easy and fun to drive. It’s also a very attentive looking vehicle. At the end of the day though if you want to engine swap an EG, convert to AWD, rebuild it with a dog box, or do anything else that doesn’t require welding or body work; it can be done in a weekend with rudimentary knowledge on a 20 year olds budget, with a set of metric craftsman sockets and wrenches. It’s truly a shame that platform didn’t have a longer production life ->I get it, it weighed 2000lbs and needed 700lbs of steel and airbags to qualify it for road safety in the 2000’s, but it’s still a black eye to the industry as a whole that the EG and EK were scrapped.
@@drewski5730 I had an EG and honestly didn't find it particularly easy to work on. They're easy to engine swap, but for general maintenance it's been much nicer working on other cars like Saturns, Escort ZX2, and my 5.9 Dakota R/T. All of those were notably more powerful (the Saturns were lighter too) and in stock form handled better. The EG chassis had better bones than any of them, but it would have required major surgery to tap into it. But the car FELT nice, was absurdly efficient (until I got my 70mpg Insight), and was easy to sell. It was over-engineered in the ouvre of little hatches, but I wound up going the Miata route. From the factory with even more advanced suspension geometry, full alignment capability, Bilsteins, torsen diff, 6-speed, and a DOHC engine that fuel cuts at 7,800. All stock, dealer serviced, girl-owned. Since I don't need back seats it's a really attractive package.
@@skyty0 the project cars of today come with ALOT more than the 90s and 80s. Like not all 240sx’s had disc brakes. Not to mention shit like infotainment systems, ABS, lsd all kinds of performance goodies you get on like a 2013 brz. The project cars of today are really solid for the price I feel
@@LieutenantNuggets where do you live? They’ve come down a bunch in price in the past 6 months. Bought mine low kms newer model for 26k in Sydney. But you can find 2013-14 gt86s for 15k all day on marketplace. What other car would you suggest that’s cheaper?
P plate legal, awd specifically in Australia. Also talking about the states with restrictions… go Mazdaspeed 3 or 6, ralliart. These go for anywhere between 10-25 for really good examples, fun reliable cheap power. I had a 450 hp Ralliart on my Ps, my tradesmen forged his mazdaspeed6 10 years ago and made ~600hp in his.
miata for all the same reasons he stated. Ive owned both and i still own part of a brz, the blown fa20 motor thats still in my garage because i cant even give it away!
Not really. I agree it would be better with a ground-up Toyota engine, but I don't think anything in their current lineup really has it. Those 3-cylinders in the GR Yaris and Corolla are super sluggish to rev and boosty. The Subaru FA platform is pretty robust. The RTV thing is way overhyped and super easy to resolve.
Here in the US they are not cheap by any means, first gen frs/brz/86 go for 10k easy, and on top of that they still blow the head gasket before it hits 120k like any other subaru...
Every time the boys talk about cheap performance cars I think of Marty's old Euro Turd and how it would absolutely slay a bunch of their cars that have come since, especially the Swift and 206. RIP Polo GTI, you were never even given a chance.
CHEAP?! I hate golfs and audis but at the moment the 86/BRZ market SUCKS and a Golf GTI would honestly be a better buy until the prices of 86s come back to like 12-15k
20k plus in aus for good one. As far as cars go i wouldnt say cheap exactly. But definitely a perfect p plater car. Or actually i would say subaru liberty gen 4. Super underated cars most especially the flat 6 version like martys. They got good na low end torque with a exhaust and tune. They have a timeless look. You can find one from 5-15k depening on engine and condition
I believe they underpowered the BRZ so that there would be a tuning market. It's like a go-kart, it feels like you are at the limit when you are going normal speeds. So anything you do to it feels like you are adding a lot.
😂 What’s hilarious is the troves of ppl that comment they disagree … yet most have never owned or even driven a FRS/BRZ/86 smh. If the cars were so “slow” and enjoyable then why would they still be commanding so much money in the used market ? Simple answer because they are great cars for what they were designed to do.
Maybe it's different in the states, but over here, if you want something cheap, with good aftermarket, and turboable. Get a 350z, Mx-5/Roadster/Miata, 200SX/240SX Or the Europen special: BMW 3 or 5 series (essentially any older generation) The 86s are still expensive compared to what I listed above They've also got Subaru engines, which... I mean Subies have a reputation.
I took the big brother… WRX. Same FA boxer motor but with a spooly boy. Much more power, and enough room and trunk space to hold a family and luggage comfortably. Plus the option for a roof rack. Subaru was very smart partnering with Toyota to build the BRZ/86.
I would say that the new Hyundai i30N is really alot car for the money, considering the price compared to it’s rivals. It’s perfect for daily use as it goes really smooth and quiet on the roads and it shifts smoothly and nice with their self-developed 8-speed DCT when you drive it in ”normal” mode, but when you put in in the ”N” or ”Custom” Mode your car is 100% ready for trackday use, or fun in the traffic use! They have really focused on driving pleasure & fun features in their sporty cars. It may not be the fastest around the track compared to some rivals but the feel is absolutely fantastic & it has by far the best original exhaust sound of the hothatch rivals in my opinion. One of the favorite things about the car is that it has a boost button on the steering wheel that causes the car to overboost & go completely crazy in the gearbox among other things, it goes completely wild & also gets an extra 50nm which lasts for 20 seconds with an inciting countdown shown in the display. Then the car needs a cooldown before the next use so that it doesn't overheat & tear the stuff. I've never driven a more fun front wheel drive car, it feels like a racing video game… I must say that Hyundai has really done a good job with their performance cars, it’s really impressive.
In the uk they’re like 10k for a 10yo high mileage one. And insurance is so expensive no one under 25 can have 2 cars so I did what everyone else did and bought a golf gti.
I really wish you gave the s2k a proper go. Its like a 86 but just better in every item on the list. Unopened stock engine can take boost well into the 700+ range with ease. And they would chop every single on of the cars in your fleet with a few mods
I would argue the MX-5, it's cheap, widely modified, factory track ready before mods are done, is a proper driver's car for what it is. Wether its the NA, NB or NC. The ND is still fairly new and expensive
Miatas you do HAVE to be smaller person for. I'd say that too, I own a frs and I've driven NA NB miatas. But Vert only and being crammed made it a no go. (And the frs is on rails in comparison stock vs stock)
I think it's the 350z. well good luck finding one that hasn't been crashed, that might be why most of them are cheap, but they are cheaper than the brz, they're faster, not that much heavier. probably more expensive to insure but yeah. it's the favorite car of people who die in single car accidents
Well they also kind of follow the MX5 formula lightweight acceptable HP low center of gravity and RWD. cars like the 86/BRZ and MX5 Miata prove that you don't need crazy HP numbers to have a car that's fun to drive. Like even my regular NA 2019 Impreza is fun to drive I have very few mods on it but even then when I drive it a certain way it's a blast to drive.
86/BRZ is so widely disrespected in the USA.... And for good reason. Styling is not there, no performance.... Too expensive... No performance... These are literally their own meme for "If you are walking away from your car, and you don't turn around to take a look.... You bought the wrong car..."
Focus ST225 mk2. Get a 4 door if ya want a family version. 2.5 litre turbo 5 cylinders. Great sounds, lots of mods for them, easy to tune. Cost about 4-5k for a decent one in UK. Easy peasy.
If they came out with an inline 4 turbo (k20-k24) or etc, then it would be perfect 👌 Yes the boxer has a lower center of gravity buuuuut its also got a laundry list of problems. Also, a fun car needs to be under 10k for a base model. Most here in nz now are 20k plus.
They started to dip down to about £7/8k in the UK before COVID and I was really tempted. You are hard pushed to find one under £12k now and at that price it just doesn't quite make sense to me. Shame, I think they are cool looking.
I was thinking of Fiesta ST mk5 I bought one for 11k PLN (3k $?) It is awesome! 7,9 to 60mph stock is enough in daily driving. A LOT of space and parts are crazy cheap
I disagree only in my case at least. My wrx does it all. The awd is truly amazing for snow. It has great aftermarket and performance. I've managed to impress a 4 runner owner by backing out of a snowdrift without shoveling after 3+ feet of snow fell. The car has treated me very well over the years.
Cheap used fun is sub $10k, even first year models here in the states are still above $13k. Its even worse once you find a modded one, because then the owner is trying to recover the cost of the mods on top, and the mods are always done in the shoddiest way possible.
Ngl with the amount of gti content they do i was expecting him to say that but as soon as he said "you can turbo them" my guess changed to civic. Didn't expect BRZ tbh
Ya the BRZ is really underrated, I’ve worked for Subaru for years and the only issue is they are not turbo but they handle amazingly. They already come with a high pressure fuel system so you just pop on a turbo and Cobb tune that thing and you got everyday car that can also race.
I traded my frs for a SS camaro. I learned a lot in the frs. The camaro feels like a frs with double the power. Even though I love my camaro there are days i miss that underdog fighter spirit of the frs. I made a profit when i sold the frs. The salesman's son bought it before i even left the dealership.
Wow, I just looked up P plate laws...so strict! In NZ, you can legitimately drive a 2000hp car by the time you turn 16, on a restricted licence (ie no passengers and home before 10pm) 😂
The absolute king is a 20+ yo 3-series BMW. Even if you piss broke and your shit is out of money, you can get one for a fraction of the cost of a BRZ or GT86
You can go even cheaper with the Scion FRS, it has a bit less horsepower, but its a few thousand cheeper and it's the exact same car as the 86 and the BRZ
I think Mustang jumps out to me. They comport themselves well all the way from Texas Mile to autocross and touge. Cars like the 86, Civic, Miata etc are awesome and definitely my kind of thing, but dang if you live in Corn Country you'd be wishing you got a Camaro instead. We have a lot of places 1,200mi from the nearest twisty road.

I’d rather the 130kw/ tonne rule over that curfew tbh. We can drive all night if we wanted to but no passengers under the age of 25 between 11pm-5am.
Cheap to run, cheap to service, cheap to buy and cheap to mods.. but still a head turner
I hate boxer engines
Definitely golf r or gti.
Skoda octovia vrs 2008 . Turbo heaps of options as they are an audi
What video is this clip from?
You guys should do a ez swap on one
We don't have these in India. The only popular things Toyota sells here are an overpriced SUV and a 7 seater. 🙄
Audi TT MK1 1.8t 225 hp awd, cheap, good quality and easy to tune.
The absolute king is a 20+ yo 3-series BMW.
Even if you piss broke and your shit is out of money, you can get one for a fraction of the cost of a BRZ or GT86
You can go even cheaper with the Scion FRS, it has a bit less horsepower, but its a few thousand cheeper and it's the exact same car as the 86 and the BRZ
Here in America it’s more lieu to be a civic si (90s-10) or a vette also 90s through mid 10s
I think Mustang jumps out to me. They comport themselves well all the way from Texas Mile to autocross and touge. Cars like the 86, Civic, Miata etc are awesome and definitely my kind of thing, but dang if you live in Corn Country you'd be wishing you got a Camaro instead. We have a lot of places 1,200mi from the nearest twisty road.
You're so wrong Moog...
Let me tell you the true number 1 sports car and the answer is easy because:
Miata is ALWAYS the answer...
Cheap? Aren’t they like 30k on finance
Rip that Horizontal opposed POS out / turbo 3K
Marty if sucking up after his joke about BRZ's.
Base c6 vette 09 or newer regardless of miles beats this car in all the categories mentioned as a reason
tell me where i can get a cheap 86 or brz?
Nope!
Completely unaffordable here in Britain, as a drummer its impractical too.
Sorry, but Subaru Wagon or Golf GTi comes waaaaay before a BRZ
WRECK IT … yeaaaaaa!!
So a honda civic.....but with a huge gap in it's heritage....ok then
Rwd bud
Aye ive been wanting a brz since i was a freshman im 20 now, saving to move out then getting a brz got a suv rn 😂
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAGAGGGAGAHAGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thanks for the laugh Moog, needed that.
You had the make right, but forgot to say Celica GT4
