I’m surprised the owner didn’t want the rotors replaced but awesome job on the resto !!! You guys have passion for your craft we need guys like you in Las Vegas
Like the TEIN suspension👍 I use for my Lexus. Lowering the car at the right height and still more comfortable ride than normal suspension in my opinion.
This video satisfies my OCD and love for Type R. Strange that someone installed DA suspension. I swapped out my like new Tein monosport for Spoon springs and struts because I found them far too firm for street use. I was concerned about paint on the rotor discs until you turned them. I got an Acura ad during this video but sadly it was the short version that didn’t show the ITR!
DOPE intro and music! I LOVE THIS CTR HATCH! Too bad we didn’t get a LHD one in the states! What a toy! If old Civic Si hatches can bring $18,000 then this is $50,000 at least lol.
Some spoon sports front calipers & rims would do it for me. But nice build. Wonder why he just didn’t go with the Tein’s with the complete set up with adjustable top hats?
How did they get the car into the country? If this is a true 1997 EK9, then it wouldn’t be available to import until 2022. I’d love some insight because I’ve been trying to get ahold of a legit RHD EK9 Civic Type-R.
Dang I love how easy it is to remove Honda suspension, especially the GEH cars. Surprising to see the forks on the rear shocks. I thought CTR had the same type of LCA and rear shocks with the eyelet bushings like ITR’s.
This is awesome, I would love to see a 2018+ Honda accord build with upgrades for ultimate street car like a type R version and one for the track... would be nice especially if you work with bisimoto, Mugen Racing, etc
Hey guys, love your channel. I wondered is this the “Wurth high heat metallic aluminum”, “Wurth high heat aluminum”, “Wurth silver wheel paint” or something else? I see what looks like an engine image on the can, but they only make a black engine enamel. Trying to recreate that OEM finish on my 31k original mile 1990 Integra. Thanks!
One of my dream cars . Not too many people notice the difference in the faux carbon trim on the RX compared to the regular R. I doubt he would want to cut the front bumper but oem jdm yellow fogs would look amazing on it .
Woww tein coilover, nice! I want the tein coilover for my honda fit, but not yet to realitation until now, hehe How many prices for Tein coilover on there? Btw nice video dude! Thumbs up from Autotune Indonesia...
Both brand you mentioned are top shelf items, even though KW has an entry level V1 model which serves the about same function and quality as the Tein Advance, but just much more affordable. Ohlins are in the $3k area, and geared toward track and bit rough for street and daily uses.
@@ahcgarage it is a Honda only brand? Is it something you can buy over the counter? I’ve been using a silicone grease but I’ve wondered what factory Honda uses.

@AHC Garage, seriously.. this is like a freakin' dream job. Fixing up hondas and getting all the damn rare ones to look over, dude what a life~
What type of exhaust do you have on this civic?
All in the Details are the ones that count. Nice work!
Yes! Thank you!
I would be a nervous wreck if I had to park a classic like this out of direct sight for more than 20 min. Gorgeous build guys.
Thank you!
I watched the whole series,a truly amazing job. The music gets a bit annoying though, I'd prefer to hear more commentary instead
As a technician myself I think you did a very nice job. Your shop is very clean!!
Mannnnnnnnnnn you almost lost me at painting the whole rotor.....lol Glad I watched the rest of the vid haha
Thanks for watching
Amazing job. Super clean. You guys do amazing work.
Thank you very much
I’m surprised the owner didn’t want the rotors replaced but awesome job on the resto !!! You guys have passion for your craft we need guys like you in Las Vegas
Rotors were still with service limit. Resurface them serves the same purpose
Mike knows what’s up! Great job man!
Thank you for your support
Good job. I like your style to pay attention to every step in details. that’s so incredible. I love it. 👍🏻
Thanks for the compliments
sweet lookin ek how do these compare to the flex z
Love the attention to this Civic , very good job 🙌🏾🙌🏾
The owner must be pleased with this job.!!
Thank you 🙌
Superb workmanship! Very clean and professional workshop 💯💯💯
Thank you very much 🙏🏼
Loved this series. Good job guys!
Thanks for your continued support 👊🏼
Great job Mike car looks great and I would imagine it drives better as well. John UK
Thanks John. Much appreciation
Absolutely stunning!! great work guys!!!
Thanks a ton
man i love the clean look of this car in and out… not a fan of right hand drive but i would make an exception for this bad boy 🎉
Cheers!!
Best civic ever made!
You should also let everyone know that they have to get an alignment after any ride height changes.Nice clean install.
Always a pleasure watch Mike and the team can't never miss an episode, can't wait to go meet them i person 💪🏼💪🏼 keep it up fellas
Thanks Jim. We appreciate your support as always
Perfect timing 👍🏼 ⏱
Enjoy!
Like the TEIN suspension👍
I use for my Lexus. Lowering the car at the right height and still more comfortable ride than normal suspension in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing!
I recommend changing the rotors... Ovetime there are getting thinner which would cause safety problem...i have a ek9 too i replaced them with Delios.
Agreed, new also good. The rotors were way above service limit, which mean they will be safe.

Stumbled across your channel, great content !! Man that car is so clean
Thanks for the sub and welcome!
That car is beautiful. Would love one in this sort of condition.
Right on!!
Looks incredible top job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Good work
Honda for life

I really like honda ek9 . From malaysia👍😍❤
Us too!
@@ahcgarage I like watching your videos. You are all the best. I am from Malaysia👍👏❤
Great video as usual !!!!
One word. Amazing 👍
Thank you very much!
DOPE intro and music! I LOVE THIS CTR HATCH! Too bad we didn’t get a LHD one in the states! What a toy! If old Civic Si hatches can bring $18,000 then this is $50,000 at least lol.
Thanks for the support 🙏🏼
Spoon just restored one...they're asking $75k for it!
You do some nice work!
Thanks for your compliment
Some spoon sports front calipers & rims would do it for me. But nice build. Wonder why he just didn’t go with the Tein’s with the complete set up with adjustable top hats?
Availability was the issue but there’s also room for upgrade later 👍🏼

We love working on them, as most people also. And yes, to mostly people surprises, EK9 has forks for the rear LCA. Wish they would do the same as Dc2
Wonderful job! This was quality spent 30 mins! Looking for another episode! Keep up the great work!
Very good quality video!
Thanks for watching!!
Wow... you have lot of cool cars !! I wish I can be owner of that car...
Beautiful. Just beautiful…….
Great work!! 💯🙌🏽 where can i get tein suspension?

Very nice... D best AHC Garage...
One if the most iconic civics
Agreed!!!
Hi there.. awesome work...may i ask how many clicks did u adjust for the front n rear coilovers dampening adjustment
12 clicks from the softest setting
Wow not only is your work Awesome but that garage is clean. What did you use for paint my Lexus IS300 could benefit from that.
Thanks for watching!!
@@ahcgarage what did you use for the paint on the brake calipers and rotors?
Exact same coilovers I got for my Integra GSR! Good stuff 👍🏼
Right on!
This is awesome, I would love to see a 2018+ Honda accord build with upgrades for ultimate street car like a type R version and one for the track... would be nice especially if you work with bisimoto, Mugen Racing, etc
That would be cool!
Looks good, personally I would have opted for new rotors and pad hardware. Can you share the brand and color of paint you used?
The spray paint is from Wurth
Brilliant work keep it up 👍
Thanks so much
Hey guys, love your channel. I wondered is this the “Wurth high heat metallic aluminum”, “Wurth high heat aluminum”, “Wurth silver wheel paint” or something else? I see what looks like an engine image on the can, but they only make a black engine enamel. Trying to recreate that OEM finish on my 31k original mile 1990 Integra. Thanks!
Liked, commented and subscribed by the way! Keep it up!
The Wurth paint is no longer available, however we found a substitute. Use Dupli-Color Engine Enamel DE1615 Aluminum
You won a new suscriber, good job and really nice car i love it
Thanks for the sub!
You guys should start using fender covers. Otherwise great videos and keep up the hard work!
We have some nice fender covers coming. Thanks for your support
What was used for the respray on the factory calipers? Im digging that silver finish.
By Wurth
Any issues using chrome sockets on that Milwaukee impact? Ever shatter a socket?
We only use it to tighten down the fasteners. Chrome sockets are not designed to do high impact work. Impact sockets will do a much better job
Hi guys where did you get the rubber siding ang molding for ek
We have them in stock
What paint did you guys use for the rotors ? Iam gonna restore my rotors as welll !
I’ll take the old coil overs please 🙋🏻♂️
what did you guys do with the old headlights? forsale
Wow. That was clean....
Appreciate it
I would love you guys to work on Honda wagon 91.😁
One of my dream cars . Not too many people notice the difference in the faux carbon trim on the RX compared to the regular R. I doubt he would want to cut the front bumper but oem jdm yellow fogs would look amazing on it .
That’s a pretty big commitment to cut the Oem bumper for the Oem fog lights but you never know once the owner finds the itch for more Oem+ goodies
Do you still have all the old parts? I would like to buy all of them.
who made the beat?
owner should just go all out with spoon calipers! would really pop with those wheels
Great point
let me know..whar rim are u using sir?? Work?
i need some help. is this GSH98-9USS2 ? is this low/medium settings ? Thank you
What is that reference to?
@@ahcgarage about suspension settings on these TEIN' which im about to buy.
i need something for the street(slovenian country roads)
Wow! Mike, can I ask what was the process when you scraped the disk? And why was it necessary?
We did that because the rotors were slightly warped
God the track in this vid..so good. Keeps me watching the entire time. What's the name of the song from the @2:23 until @14:00 minutes?
What spray paint did you use?
SEM paint
What are these wheels called in a 4x100 setup? Type r replica build I’m working on 😁
5x114.3 haha
Which settings did you use for the alignment?
thank you
and also ride height
Woww tein coilover, nice!
I want the tein coilover for my honda fit, but not yet to realitation until now, hehe
How many prices for Tein coilover on there?
Btw nice video dude!
Thumbs up from Autotune Indonesia...
Check out this site for these Tein products:

Gorgeous
Cheers!!
What do the slide pins come with from factory, Moly or Silicone? Thanks!
Moly
Really? Moly eats the rubber boots over time. Should be using silicone paste.
Hi. What spray paint did you use for the rotors
Dupli-Color DE1615
True jdm. Right hand drive
Beautiful ride
It sure is!
Why you choose Tein coilovers rather than KW or Ohlins?
Both brand you mentioned are top shelf items, even though KW has an entry level V1 model which serves the about same function and quality as the Tein Advance, but just much more affordable. Ohlins are in the $3k area, and geared toward track and bit rough for street and daily uses.
The cars you guys mod do you sell or are they customers rides
These are client vehicles.
Hello any one know the part number for the oem front brake pads
Thanks
How much mm or fraction of an inch will be removed during rotor skimming?
We measured the rotors prior to resurface them, then remediate them again to ensure the thickness is still within factory specifications
@@ahcgarage I mean normally how much thickness does skimming removes?
This thing is dope! What are those tires? 205/50R16?
What is that malaco grease you were using?
It's a brake grease which helps lubricate the moving brake components
@@ahcgarage it is a Honda only brand? Is it something you can buy over the counter? I’ve been using a silicone grease but I’ve wondered what factory Honda uses.
How much did all this cost? I have an eg hatch, and I am considering a similar thing on my hatch.
Depends of what you like to do on the refresh. As for the calipers and rotors refresh, only spray paint and turn rotors which is super affordable
@@ahcgarage where are you located?
@@ruvtecn Pembroke Pines, near Miami, FL
How much this honda now??? Super car! 👌 ☺
How much did it cost to fix?
Depends on how far you wish to do
Rightside driving is legal in Cali?
Not sure
Don’t think it’s illegal anywhere really. As long as the car was imported legally.
Love it.. 😍
Thank you! 😊
whats this music its bumpin
Hey where can I purchase the wurth spray paint can’t find it anywhere thanks
Same here 😂
Do you guys sell these cars when you’re done?
No sir
Nice hatch
I think so too!
Siempre me preguntare como hacen para no ensuciarse.
Hehe yo tambien.. yo saco una tuerca y tengo grasa por todos lados 😬🫢
very rare collectible car
Yes!!
Whats country is this shop in?
Florida USA
👍🏼👍🏼
I personally would've put the caliper color red or black but other than that love the car , looks good!
Cheers!!
its legendary car :)
Beautiful car
It sure is!
So good
Cheers!!
