Restoration of a K20 Powered Honda Civic Si (Extremely Satisfying)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2023
- My 2008 Honda Civic Si was falling apart and deteriorating day by day. The Honda Civic was suffering from dents, dings, scratches, rust, and worst of all, PEELING CLEAR COAT. So... I decided to paint the car and dully restore the exterior!
These mid 2000's Honda Civics are known for having clear coat issues and mine was no exception. I bought this car with the intentions of vinyl wrapping it, but one thing lead to another and then I ended up fully restoring the little k20 powered 4 cylinder sports car. The restoration and painting process was long, hard and very challenging. I hope you enjoy. Please consider subscribing to my channel! Thank you for your time :)

Hey, it’s Jonathan! I’m the guy that said hi to you when I was riding my bike! I had the black mountain bike, and I said hi to you! If you still don’t know who I am I also said hi to your friend who has a new celica gt4 that he’s putting a new trans in. I love the cars dude! I’m looking for a car myself, maybe a Subaru or a fiesta or something my parents are fine with me buying As my first car! I will now make Sure to go watch the 10 second car vid! Have a great rest of your summer!
Sincerely,
Jonathan. R

Thanks chief
I feel so inspired right now.
You're fortunate to have such a clean and sterile environment to work in.
Agreed. I work hard for it and am 100% grateful to the people that helped make this possible. Thanks for the comment Eric.

Black is one of the hardest to paint. Looks amazing 👏 😍 ❤

Utterly amazing John!
So proud of John for this. Just shows a car with good bones and interior and not the best paint is still a great car, and body work is easier then interior.
Love seeing people get in there and making it happen themselves, she's alive again man!
That's insane, looks great!
love these videos....very great advice and tips on car flipping especially if you're into flipping hondas
So satisfying bro! Glad you were able to complete the project. Sky is the limit!
This turned out beautiful, congrats! I especially love how the rear bumper lip entirely transforms the look of the car, looks great with the polished exhaust tip!
I’ve wanted that rear lip on my car since I had my red fg2 back in 2017
worth the wait, really looks great man. good job
car looks amazing!!!! 8th gen ftw
Impressive results, this was a big project, one I have been putting off myself.... Kudos to you for attempting this and finishing it!

Im planing to the same to my 07 fg2 k24 swapped fun haver this summer. The fuji blue has the typical clear coming off and even spots of paint came off and is now just gray primmer. Saprizingly the car has no rust. Only a few stone chips on the hood have tiny rust spots. Keep up the great work gu!!

Thank you Pawinn! I appreciate it :)
Bravo John, bravo.

Came of really good
Thank you!
@@boosted_john anything bro! Also I meant *out😂
Amazing work John! It looks great! Shines bright like a diamond! 😂🙌 LY ❤
I also have a 2008 Si, and last year when someone dinged my passenger door, I got the whole car re-painted by a so called 'professional' shop (Car-Star... I think they suck), and all dents and scuffs cleaned up... Although it looks MILES better than what it was, I have to say... Honestly, I think yours looks better! Awesome job man!!!
Wowzer. Thanks!
@@boosted_john No prob man, you deserve the props. I would never take on that kind of workload myself. You should be very proud of the outcome. I sure as hell would be. :)
Awesome videos I’m a new subscriber, thanks for sharing ❤
Quedo hermoso saludos desde chile
Ya did it John! Nice job👍🏻. As a professional autobody painter by day. I have to say there is NO substitute for REAL basecoat /clearcoat paint.
Bro this came out fucking nice!!!!
What up bro!! I like this Civic & the beautiful job you're doing on it!! I posted this to my page!!✌️😊
Yepp my 07 Coupe looks almost like your Before picture with a few typical rusty spots in rear and down on the front drivers side under the SI trim. But that will change for next year, its all about reliability for daily driving right now
I wish I could do all this for my EP3 Si... It needs a lot of work, lol
Nice
Thanks! Please consider sharing. This 10 minute video took over 100 hours to make
Came out good bro , I personally like this gen and the hatch ep5 I think it called but yeah bro looks clean n fun ... peace and love brotha keep it rad stay safe and build on... ps if any u body work cracks try bondoglass next time n just skim coat after to make smooth/blend n the fibers in it allow flex for cold n hot expansion and contraction but yeah brotha its come along great just dont add it to the blown motor club 😂jk ... much love and respect bro l8z
Let's gooo
curious how long its gonna last for! good job dude8
Zomg I'm so jealous. Can you do this for my FA5?
Looks great! Any plans to knock down and buff the clear? I would love to see an in-depth video of you working on/polishing the clear.
I’m probably going to try
Was looking for this comment. I bet it'll look amazing afterwards
🔥💯
Hey man! Looks great! My 08 si has like zero clear cost left and I've been considering trying a diy paintjob myself, and you've inspired me!
What kind of compressor did you use? That's the only thing holding me back and I don't know what compressor would get the job done for not a stupid amount of money
Restoration of a 500hp Turbo EG (Extremely Satisfying)
Would be very nice too
Haha I got one of those in the works as we speak 😂
@@boosted_john LET'S GOOOO
@@Zaaf2003 i got you brotha. Please consider sharing this video with a few friends to help it perform better in the algorithm
Good job! These things take countless hours. Did you use the HF gun for the clear also?
Yep!
@@boosted_john time to sand and buff to make it look like glass. 🫡
Glaze putty would of been better for the scratches and light dents make sure to use bumper plastic adhesive so the paint can stick 320 grit is the lowest grit you needs for peeling clear coat
🤟
Thanks for watching! Please share with a few friends to help the video perform better in the algorithm :)
I appreciate it a lot.
Si’s had a model that came w/ no sunroof too?
That came out great! Any plans on re-spraying the front bumper? Ceramic coating/protecting all of your hard work?
I am thinking about it. I have a couple ideas to make it awesome and make a fire video in the process.
I want a HFP kit so bad🫠
quick question, where do you find most of your flip cars? like what state and also what do u truly look for when finding these flips besides price? im big on finding the cheapest prices but it seems like u are just goated at finding perfect flips (great pricing for a great car that just needs a bit of work)
The Council of Makita Gnomes has convened and come to a unanimous conclusion to fully support the #BlownMotorClub
I have no ideas what that means, but LFG 🙌
@@boosted_john I found the Makita being used by you hense assumed you were Team Makita ( aka Team Theft Deterrent Blue)
Where did you get your disc wheels to buy?
If you didnt use any adhesion promoter on the plastic bumpers it will eventually crack and come off.
MCLOVINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Did I miss something or does the EG look a lot more shiny than usual here?
How much did you spend on materials to make this possible?
Hey, what song did you use at the end of the video?
Brooooo that loookssss so good, i love my fg2 and yours is sexy
What are the things you used to hold up the bumper while spraying it called?
Horses
How many days did it take?
12 or 13
Did you wet sand it yet? That'll make a huge difference and you can get rid of all the orange peel!
Haven’t wet sanded it yet, but I might do it soon.
@@boosted_john Awesome man, looks good already though so it'll be pretty sweet for sure 👍
Dudeee what wheels are that i want to purchase so bad for my FG2
??

Now you can’t drive the car it looks too good 😂
what was an estimated cost for this
Cost breakdown is the next video! It is already live for channel memebers. Link in this videos bio to join if you want to check it out early 🤘
This is effed
effed!
I'd recommend using music free to use or earbuds.
TH-cam can seriously fuck you over if you aren't careful
Thanks for the recommendation. Small tie bits here and there is considered “fair use”
@@boosted_john Imy buddy got destroyed by copyright and I don't wanna see that happen to you, that's all
K20 powered civic si… so an si?
Please sand the entire car from 1000 to 3000 and get a legit compound/polish to fix the awful orange peel 🙏
Will do! Please consider sharing this video to help it do better in the algorithm 😊
