Is this the Cleanest EF Civic Ever? Greddy Kenji’s Turbo Honda Dream Build
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 เม.ย. 2020
- The are levels to Honda Civic culture. Many kids will reminisce on EG, EK, or EP Civic builds, but real OGs started with the boxy shape of the EF chassis. And when Kenji Sumino - aka Greddy Kenji - wanted to go back to his roots, building a clean EF was high on his list of goals. And with how wild the Honda scene is these days, it’s refreshing to see such a clean and tasteful build.

Beautiful car. What steering wheel hub is on the car, it’s looks almost stock as far as distance to the driver where most hubs extend the wheel closer to the driver usually. Thanks in advance
all new cars are automatic, the subquential is only a electronic mecanism to shift to low drive, 2nd, ect ............... same mechanism its jst now more expensive, and torque bodys are upgraded... at the end, its all about modding, transplates.... u can turn a 200hp kia into a 600hp car w/ the right transmission. well it will go as fast as a 600hp car
yeah, gotta get rid of that jdm crapp, my corolla is american made in ca.... all of it but the head.
Never be ashamed or embarrassed of a car because of your age. Thats a beautiful build, keep doing your thing. Respect
Embarrassed driving a lovingly modded and quick vintage car? You're living the life. Don't buy into the modern car bias. Build it, drive it, love it.
I totally agree 👍 , it's your life , do what your wanna do , just don't break the Law. Be True to yourself!!! 👍
I'm 50 and drive a modified CRX and love it.
Keep it old-school, Harley.
35 yrs. Old and I drive a 400whp swapped 2.5rs and daily a stock (but clean) civic vx HB. I know what he means when he says he felt embarrassed driving around in a dinky old civic at first lol.
Harley you got a piece of gold
I’m 37 and drive a modded 2015 Regal GS, don’t care what others think I love the car
Crx are the second best looking Honda behind the nsx
seriously this is one of the best examples of what an EF build should be
Sadly alot of good interiors got trashed due to the light weight/track look smh
Gotta agree that finding the parts is the fun bit.
Im building a 91 CRX replica of a famous Australian Show Car (Cyber1 to those who know) And hunting for 20 year old Period Correct parts has been an absolute blast.
Ive picked up some parts insanely cheap and others I've paid ungodly amounts for, but its the hunt that Ive enjoyed most
Built an EF sedan when I was in high school (mid 1990's) with a B16 and a Jackson supercharger, was fortunate enough to have it in a couple of the "racewars" scenes in the 1st Fast and Furious movie, it was filmed at Norton AFB in San Bernadino, so alot of those cars were local kids / friends of mine... damn I miss the 90's lol
What happened to your ef?
So cool! The 90´s must have been something special
My friend was actually in the movie, he is kissing his girlfriend at race wars, they broke up and she currently lives a couple houses down from me. His car was in the movie but his car was kinda lame lol. He still brags about being in the movie. Lol
I had a 91 4 door also. Not as cool as yours but it was mine and loved it. I've always had a special place for the old EF's
I used to have an 88 ef sedan and loved that thing
Larry should be art director for everything hoonigan. These episodes are dope
He's super talented.
I agree, it's ridiculous. Having insane cars to talk about also helps tho haha. It wouldn't be the same if he was talking about a factory 2020 SiR
Larry been out there working, going the distance, putting in the hours, the guy is a beast putting out all this amazing content
Nads is more fun to watch though when it comes to Hondas and Acuras
Ay don’t disrespect my boy Jon Chase like that. He’s OG and been doing all the Hoonigan art and capturing the Hoonigan vibe better than anyone else could.
Those wheels are crazy dope, this whole car is absolutely gorgeous.
This guy is so genuine, he really knows about these things, and whole build was well thought out.. and He remembers everyone's name that helped. My Fav episode hands down.
i agree, the late 80's early 90's taillights were almost always on point. Accords, Civics, CRX, supra, skyline, MR-2. almost all of em looked good
7,000 of these views are from Nads.
Man that's all this video is missing is nads
Katie Tierney sup baby
Wow, that’s so cool to see that Kenji is still at GReddy after all these years! I met him back in 2000 when I had my Integra GSR up in their Irvine shop to fine tune the GReddy turbo kit. Really cool dude and I was stoked to just have my car worked on by these guys. I think I was one of the first to have the GReddy turbo kit in the US and it wasn’t even meant for my 00’ GSR, it was tuned for the 97’-99’ GSR’s so my 00’ GSR ecu harness was different and their piggy back computer wasn’t working. The guys at GReddy sorted everything for me and I enjoyed that boosted GSR for over 100k miles of trouble free good times!
Hands Down, CLEANEST-Built EF Hatch I've ever studied!
The Alpine Cassette Deck is A TRUE 90's Throwback!⚡
Ef is so underated. So many peeps want an eg or an ek. But dont realize the beauty of a classic clean ef
Larry Chen you do some amazing interviews, an all in one package. It just feels like two car guys talking with the up most quality.
the EF is hands down my favorite civic chassis.
The whole time ya'll were talking, I was imagining a road trip in that Civic. Well back to the garage for me, inspiration struck again, thx Larry &n Genji!
Started my OBSESSION in '93, been Addicted to JDM EVER SINCE......
Me and my buddy, grew up loving the EF platform, something about the square back end, is just cool to us!
I love 90's cars!
Love how there's a red R32 just chilling in the background this is a nice EF though I miss my EF DX sedan
I like the subtle stance on this Civic. For me the EF, EK, EG and WagoVan Civic models are my favorites. Not just my favorite Civic models, but among my favorite cars in general.
As I watched this, I thought to myself “Damn, that Hot Wheels car looks SO familiar!” Then I went and looked through my collection, and I realized that I HAVE ONE! I also have the Boost Brigade custom ‘01 Acura Integra GSR! Both are still in the bubble package! I’m glad I always stop by the Hot Wheels isle when I go shopping!
More EF Civics PLEASE! Keep up the great work
THIS!
YESS
The EF9 SIR got me into tuning as well about 7 years ago, yesterday I bought another EF9 and am starting to build it ❤️ literally my favourite cars ever
My EF got me into the scene as well. Ended up swapping in a JDM D15B engine and a bunch of go-fast bits. Was such an amazing car. No power steering!
Canada here...soooo sweeet! Basically the story of the two squirrels...both go to Grand Canyon...one goes to the other side...it lives a different life over there...but, they are both still squirrels... more or less the story goes... to have an Asian gentleman speaking correctly on the topic, showing so much respect to the Honda vision... wether JDM or North American... that's Honda to a T! P.s. iPad, TH-cam music, airplay to tv...stereo w tape deck connected by rca to TV...record new music mixes on tape baby! Respect...one love!
Love that he boosted it and bay looks really OEM
I had a 90 EF Si that was boosted back in 99-2000. What a great car that was. Kids these days just don't know about the Alpine pull out boy!! LOL
I have this same car, but stock. I'm also friends with all the guys in my area with EFs, too. There's nothing like cruising as a group. People's eyes just BUG OUT, when they see multiple EFs rollin'. Hahaha. Topping off the evening with homemade sushi and beer with the EF squad, is the perfect way to bring back that 90s Japanese life.
What I enjoy about these videos with Larry is it's basically just two car nerds chilling out and taking about something they are passionate about.
So clean and not over done. Takes me back to the 90’s import days
I own a 95 delsol, with orig. B16a3 motor, that's been rebuilt, and turbo charged, i love driving it, im 55yrs old.👍🏾
Used to have an 89 EF I swapped a GSR drivetrain into. Chose a hydraulic kit that had the master cylinder actuator mounted to the clutch pedal. I was upside down under the dash with a hand wrench for several hours during Winter in a barn. I will never forget the pain but I bloody still miss that car.
I grew up in Santa Barbara driving my mom's EF with my buddies. I knew I liked that car then but didn't really know why. Once old enough I went 1966 Galaxie 390cid, 1969 Camaro, then 240Z which I turned into a turbo car. I now have an RSX-S (Frankenstein with bolts-ons, S-oil pump, stock looking condition). That EF brings back memories, man. I used to throw the E-brake into corners and dirt and race the shit out of that poor Honda. It NEVER skipped a beat, and my mom would run it with black oil when it was so low it didn't even show on the dip stick. The car was finally totaled when she was struck by two cars, one from the right, then one speeding up from behind her. I never thought I'd wish she still had that old sled.
I love this so much.. one of my best mates had a couple of these when we first startes driving and when I had my Prelude. Bringing back all the memories.. Thank you.. what a special build.
Man that brings back memories! I had a '91 EF that I painted black with silver Konig 7 spoke 17" wheels and slammed it with some forgotten coilovers. Needless to say, but any kind of speedbump or railroad crossing was an excersize in patience. I was a car audio installer at the time, and squeezed 4 12's in the rear hatch, built custom kick panel pods for 6.5" mids, and sank the tweeters in the top of the door panels. That was a fun car!
Had an EF back in the day with all mugen parts! brings back memories plus the middle clock/ac vent came out and was the perfect stash spot!
I remember rolling out of the movie theater, after watching F&F, in my 91 hb, thinking ohh the possibilities!!(cream 4 speed, slow a.f.)
Probably one of my favorite builds. Thank you larry for your passion of filming to make it to where I'm able to enjoy videos like this.
This is the best EF Civic there is. Change my mind.
Dam Larry !!! Amazing year 90's Honda. Greddy is what I remeber when it comes down to companies that are local.
Omg this build is sooo super nice. So clean, stock, factory fresh, improving on the totally stock design, retaining the original manufacturers spirit
That model year civic started my import tuner life back in the 90s is
That's a gorgeous car and I am glad that he's kept this car for all the years that he has. Good review and presentation.
Damn I would have never guessed we would get an autofocus on an ef since you just kind of glazed over Alex’s in ATL. But Kenji’s is next level so I’m glad you got to shoot this Larry. My favorite cars of all time ❤️
This would be a dream build for me too. My dad worked for Honda for most of my life and we went through multiple Civics over the years. Earliest one I remember was an '89 DX Hatchback. Manual everything, no radio, no AC, vinyl seats that burned you in the summer. I loved that car, though. One of the first cars I bought when I was old enough was a '91 Si and I hate myself every day for letting it go. I'm still sitting on all the SiR conversion parts for it, so I hope I can find another one some day. The Si's have gotten few and far between, and the ones you do find are either pristine ones for an ungodly price, or they're complete rust buckets. Saw one on Autotrader the other day with 43K miles on it and the listed price was $23,000...
More embarrassing than driving a 90's honda hatchback at 46 is letting other peoples opinion dictate what you do ;)
You judging him and probably borrowing your moms Toyota Prius cus you a broke ass hater lmao nothing worse then a hater behind a keyboard that could NEVER do anything close to this 👎🏼👎🏼
@@smokiegwuapo3920 I have a b18c4 swapped EK buddy, are you projecting? Im not judging him, im telling him to not give a fuck what others say, live for your self not others.
My EF story is almost exactly like Kenjis!
I had an 89 DX (manual thank god) in high school. Neuspeed springs and Sebring exhaust haha and yes a big JL 12 in the back.
Blew the 1.5 SOHC DPFI and swapped in a ZC DOHC. Got into drifting, sold the EF and bought an s13 and AE86.
Still got TONS of love for the EF and hope I win the lotto someday to build another one lol
Love this build! Wish I could snatch that up right now. Amazing car.
*Thank you,as always Larry, for just straight up killing the game*
*keep being the best*
I had that same built B18C engine and the old integra Greddy turbo kit, Racing Heart C5 in my Imola Orange Pearl 98 Civic coupe, it got stolen... I was so pissed but I've moved on to bigger and better things.. always a place in my heart for these cars... great shoot!!!
I have been really digging this content lately, binging a lot of episodes. Truly magnificent cars and videography.
One of the most gorgeous EFs I've ever seen and those wheels are literally perfect for this car.
Not a huge honda fan, but EF's and DA's are my favorite.
When I am in the 60 ...I won't mind driving that...just because I can.👍 it's a beautiful car.
What a great video! Totally enjoyed watching this from start to finish. I was just in awe mode the whole time.
Dam, that's the BADDEST CIVIC EF I'VE SEEN, I WANT ONE "EXACTLY LIKE THAT ONE".........👍👍👍👍👍
amazing job. I love that he kept the alpine cassette pullout deck. mad props to kenji
I hope I can get my hands on one after college. Been wanting one since my father sold his EF sedan 8 years ago
That's the nicest EF I've ever seen. Mad props! 👍👍
them tail lights have no spiderwebbing omg 🤤😍🤤😍🤤😍🤤
I’m not sure that this guy realises how awesome he is so humble he should know he’s a genius love this car can’t believe he referred to himself as lazy
😂👍
That thing is gorgeous!! My first car was a EF si hatch.. I miss it! Need to build another 😂
Had an 80's CRX-Si in the 80s and highly admired these Civic Si hatchbacks! Also had a white RX-7 FC.....did you see that thing in the background being shot....that thing is gorgeous too!
Such a feel good episode. Transported me back to the 90s and the good old high school days
Yes! Thank you Larry! Loved this car man!
Lord have mercy... old school folks will salivate over this. Loving this. Well executed vehicle and video
Wow what a great car. If I had one or still had one I would of done the same. Also very nice how he kept a b series and didn't go with a k. A+ built
So cool car, I even't imagine people with so much passion to built that beatiful piece of art, legendary car
I have waited for this Larry thank you for the beautiful video on such a gorgeous car built very very well.
Need one soon EF way to go 🏃🇯🇲
Larry you need to find the time when this blows over to Interview and shoot Wayne Denman’s CRX. The decal on Genji’s EF that says “just a Japanese Hot Rod” is from him and he has the most amazing CRX of all time. Please read this!
I had an 89 si black , oh how I miss it . Gorgeous car
Reminds of fun times in my EF8 CRX SiR. Mugen rocker cover, steering wheel and CF-48s with carbon fibre aerodiscs.
I missed my dx back in the 90s all of a sudden.... thank u for making this happen!
Amazing civic! Makes me appreciate my EF even more, these are getting truly rare (Europe)
that exhaust sound is wild. like an angry weasel in the trunk. im building an 89 with a b20 i hope it sounds that good.
This car is done the right way, no oversized wheels and messed up camber. I love this car!
Thank you guys, it's a Beauty! 🤓👍
Great car. Great video. Great content. Ah man, I totally forgot about the pull-out stereos-nice touch.
I have this HotWheel too. Sometimes you forget that most of those cars are real cars too so I was really hyped seeing the thumbnail to this video. Awesome car and great build.
J spec parts are the best.
All the HOP are like a treasure hunt for the true Honda lover. Even now 10 years after my ej1 I still like going to the pick a part to try to find some rare goodies sometimes people don’t even know what they have or what they’re worth .
I REALLY like this guy... he detunes his engine for longevity... THAT is true Honda spirit ;)
Clean! Beautiful car. Must have been difficult to find such clear parts for the restoration.
Nice.....I have a 90 si....as my daily...and an 05 ep3...I would love to do this exact set up.... enjoy it bro.....we only live once.....
Beautiful built. Great job...
We had the exactly same spec in Europe. The JDM SiR was called the 1.6 i-VT, with the 150bhp B16 A1 engine. Great little car, they used to be plentiful and dirt cheap a few years, but now good luck finding one now.
The EF civic hatch was my first car. And my ultimate favorite civic ever made
It's a beautiful build and looks pretty solid!
Thank you 🙏🏼
What an awesome car, such an inspiration for my 89.
Super clean and tastefully tuned. Well done!
“It’s very hard to find these parts..” just thinking of my dad, with a 1924 BSA. He had to search for 3 years and find a seller in Holland to get an exhaust valve spring. One day it’ll run. One day.
Hoffentlich noch mehr Videos von dem Auto,das wäre super!!!
Oh my goodness....this car is so siickkk. JDM FTW.
Always loved Honda interiors!
That air to water setup is Super Dope!!!
Damn - I remember those Alpine. Nowadays with those Civics, after parking the car, one would need to put it in a carrying case and take it with you. 😆
I had a ‘91 EF civic Si and loved it. Want to get another but easier to build a EG or EK these days
