  • While at an auto auction, I came across this 1998 Honda Civic EK Hatchback. These are becoming more rare as the years go by. A true icon of the Honda scene in the 90's until today. This car looks to be stolen though. Is it worth restoring?

      ​​@@stupidvideos1449 I would say do some light mods not extreme, maybe nice wheels but not an arm and a leg wheels, nice coilovers *but not slammed* just an inch lower or something around that so it looks nice, no crazy camber, if the engine is trashed maybe a b18 swap..... a b18B swap it is a bad option for some but at the same time a better engine just keep the b18b *stock* don't do anything to that apart from maintenance, idk if there are oem bigger honda brakes that fit in the ek but if possible something like that if not just put a little more aggressive pads on stock brakes, idk if some people would agree but changing the steering wheel to another one from a more modern civic like the fk civic wheel, a nice audio system, some seats like the steering wheel from a fk civic but an si civic in specific and the rest keep it as is, that should make it a nice car to ride and take to a trackday and touge and etc while still being pretty much daily drive able
      edit. I almost forgot, the 5th gear can be changed to use an ls trans gear to make it longer wouldn't say it is something to do to it but doing it would make it nicer to drive on the highway aand change the gauge cluster to one with an rpm counter, I know that really doesn't matter that much but would be nice to see from time to time how the engine passes 6k rpms and keeps going up until redline

      Just do the k swap b swaps are expensive af now. Get hasport mounts. Nice coilovers, hondata and a few little bolt ons. Nice rims and tires and that’s a car. People where I’m from would die for a clean ek hatch k swapped cleanly.

    You don't need anything that's mechanical if you're going to swap it. Body looks perfect and that's all that matters. Probably a good price for mechanical damage. I'd jump all over that one plus it's 99-00 front end. Definitely the one to get!
