Despite the honda's deplorable condition, it sounds really good.
Sounds amazing
Agree. It’s got the beef.
For sure! I'm not a Honda fanboy, but MAN it look good!
@@Chippottle I'm surprised they only obliterated a axle
To me it sounded like any other Honda honestly
The clapped out Civic kept up with an Audi S4... Incredible.
Not just an S4, a MAPPED S4 with a pulley upgrade!
With a slipping and broken Transmission
@@allencharles14 the second audi they raced had no problem with tranny and still lost to the civic :D
@@NjoyMoney he slept at the light too. They also only showed that one run. Lol.
Lol
The civic has a Garrett turbo on it.
You should fix it back up and restore the car. That little Honda deserves a second chance!
yeah
G&Gas: "let's lower tire pressure"
Me: "they're gonna blow an Axle, if they didn't change or upgrade the axles out"
*finishes both passes without breaking an Axle*
me: "impressive!"
*Ben tries a pass*
*Blows an axle*
me: 😂🤷🏽♂️
lmao how did you knew it would?
@@intellectualsquid69 stock axles only hold for so long on street tires.
He was riding it tho. Sometimes you have to rid the limiter to get it to have boost next gear
I like how they subconciously made us realize again that 10 second passes and below are not the only thing considered fast, you know what i mean. Hitting those 13s really satisfied me. Kids nowadays thinks that 10 second passes on a 1/4 mile are the numbers you get right after you put bolt ons on your car and 10s are easily built and doesnt need a lot of $ and wrenching
I remember in 2004 I hit a 11.5 with my srt4. Turbo upgrades, fuel system, clutch, axles, slicks, ect....
@@Chocolate_dragon Nice my buddy had the first fully built car I'd ever seen in 2008 and it was an SRT4 that blew my mind on FWD
* looks at car that has been sitting on jackstands for 2 years * I just want it to drive....
I had an older guy try and tell me his buddies 79 trans am with Bolt-ons was a 10 second car , I found an old muscle car magazine drag time listing for the most popular muscle cars they tested.... he still wouldn’t believe that because it was faster than other cars of the time , it wasn’t fast vs today’s cars - your buddies bolt on trans am isn’t beating a 21’ Porsche turbo with launch control....
@@cowmath77 the k series is no joke, na or boosted
Great race gentlemen.... we are ready for another go!
Great win!!! Congratulations
$10,000 budget?
@@JoseFlores-lg3ms they might have to turn it into 20k this time.
@@DirtyFiST69 By that S4 @ $1.5k math, they'll show up with a "$20k" Lamborghini.
@@tghidsgn lol, they'll be like my friends over at so and so shop happened to have it on sale for this unbelievable price because it had a broken paddle shifter and because we know them.
If it wasn’t for the “miss 3rd” Honda thing, that car would kill it.
I've really grown fond of the EF, I hope you guys don't throw it out and maybe start a build-project on it. Maybe a streetcar series, would love to have more watch hours of the EF!
Me too, I would love that
I wanna see a build series on the Honda and then run it back at the drag strip
They should definitely make a series about this car. See what the car can be when it's not "one of the most clapped out pieces of garbage I've ever seen".
@@CneyTMS especially if they turned it into a k series Turbo AWD. That thing would be a monster on the strip. Also put a hybrid racing short shifter so asian ben won't miss shift 3rd or money shift 3rd gear lmao
I'd love to see them turn this into a drag racing monster!
Maybe with a J35 and a big turbo, that's power for a relatively cheap engine tbh
@@JDM_DREEZY I would keep that engine. It is powerful enough and a K would be a little overboard. AWD would be a lot of work. Just make it nice as it is. New and stronger axles. New coilovers. Make it a fun drag or street car.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised the axles lasted as long as they did. I went into this video FULLY expecting it to pop an axle on the 1st rip lol.
Us Honda owners were all expecting that 😂
Facts! With all that wheel hop I expected an axle to go a lot earlier 😂
Let's be real, the Civic is faster than the Audi all day long, it's just that pressure/adrenaline got the best of you. Tough luck!
Now what they really need to do is add $2000 to the budget for these cars and then go race time attack.
If you want to go fast on a budget, Hondas are a great choice. There are so many knowledgeable people and so many parts available. Even if it doesn't win, it'd still be my pick.
It got beat pretty easy
@@jashy66 given the other car is a dsg and given that the Honda still did a better pass later in the vid I’d say the Honda is faster. It might’ve not won bc of driver miata les but it’s definitely faster than the Audi
@@ryderg484 had a manual too, being that Ben missed shifts it should have been a clean sweep for the Honda.
@@jashy66 the man don't know how to drive it lol
@@jashy66 right.. witch is why the Honda beat the Audi every time he didn’t miss a shift
The fact that the Honda breaks down right when Ben tries to drive it 😂😂
he did call it. HAHA
If he would have just shifted before the rev limiter. Smoothness counts.
He's the reason it broke if they knew what Wheel hop means on a drag strip they would have let off throttle and the axles wouldn't have blown .....
@@Templar50401 then he would bog the next gear
@@Templar50401 lol youd bog down. it may seem like he's pouncing on the rev limiter but it's just tires spinnin.
After further review, the Honda team takes the win for actually following the number one rule of sub $5k
After further review, I've determined that you're just another biased Honda fanboy with a tiny...ego.
they spent less than 5k on that audi, they even explained that
@@whorutothink honda fanboys are a rare breed where im from lol glad you sighted one for me to see in its natural habitat
@@jordiemorrison7391 They got it that cheap because they got the car from their friend, in the real market there's no way you'd get it for under 5k
@@whorutothink Well, the real question is why is that S4 only worth $1,500? That means even without all that extra stuff, it lost 97% of its value in less than 15 years. Any civic will hold more than 15% of its value even after 15 years...
I have 2 of those hatches! 89 and 90, those are by far the most fun cars to drive. Easy to work on, parts are cheap, you can swap motors all cheap as hell! Long live the EF's!!!
Considering how sketchy that whole setup is, the Civic sounds awesome.
Don't care if JDM or Euro, love both car cultures.
Awesome series, we need more!
As a europe mechanic..... Pls gib jdm to repair eu cars are a pain ;_;
But i like both tbh
Couldn't agree more .
Yeah Im not sure why people think we need to pick a side. I grew up driving and tracking Nissan's, mostly Silvia's. I now drive a 335i. I wish I could afford to get another Silvia though.
thats why i have a 200sx and a e36 and love em both
13:53 I thought that right axle was going to blow, but in the end it was the left. What a pocket rocket though! 😲
What’s next for this civic? It could be built in to a really cool car.
At a time when car prices are sky high with seemingly no end in sight and many enthusiasts are either leaving the hobby or thinking about leaving the hobby and doing something else with their lives, many thanks for putting together this little series about very affordable cars. The entire process from initially selecting the car to doing the build to actually racing it was a lot of fun to watch. Great work on this guys!
A boosted Honda missing third? Haven’t seen that before :)
MONIKYYYLE.
Hands down the best automotive channel on TH-cam right now. Keep it up.
That 12sec pass was perfect. I was screaming at my dog LETSSSS GOOOO!!! He also got very excited from all the screaming.
By god, that Civic is beastly, haha! That thing looks like so much fun. I'd legit drive it over the Audi any day, just because of the pure "raw" factor. Too cool, what a great little car, and what an awesome little series.
More!!!!
I had a simple EM1 (N/A B16A2) swapped into my 94 coupe chassis and it was an absolute blast on a base tune. The honda builds like this are fun exactly for the reason you said, I think everyone should experience it at least once
13 seconds isn’t beastly
@@pepe_silvia_ghoul1790 The time might not be, but that car certainly is.
Lap times/quarter mile times aren't all that make a car fun. I've had waaaay more fun in a stock Miata than I ever have in a more powerful "faster" car.
That Civic looks crazy fun, and I'll take that over crazy numbers any day.
@@drumjedi5301 completely agree would love a track day Miata, just wouldn’t waste my time at the drag strip with it.
Love this series. You guys should keep the EF and fix her up. A sick hill climb build maybe?
I second that... As much as I already love Ben's K24 Civic, I think this could have a place in this channel... Just, if you do engine swap it, maybe keep this one a B series? Cause otherwise I guess it will be a bit redundant?
I would love to see a hill climb build
Maybe Insane Shafts will work better 👍
YES, I agree they should keep the EF and build up that chassis!
My inner Honda fanboy was really sad when he lost the second race :(
If homeboy hadn’t missed 2and/3rd in the last 2 races the EF woulda smoked that Audi. My inner Honda fanboy had me tappin my toes and yelling come on bro at my phone lol my wife looking over at me puzzled the entire time 🤣
@@lonniephillips8517 exactly the Honda would’ve gapped the shit outta the audi
@@ezrabegin8234 Well, he did gap 2 Audi S4s and had the two fastest times and the fastest speed...
@@OlJackBurton yep
Awesome! The little EF deserves a place in the G&G fleet I think.
LOL is this Fast & Furious?! Ben seemed to make 11 shifts on that first pass 😂 #dangertomanifold
I thought he was shifting into 8th gear lol
We need more shitbox civic content
Great collaboration face off between the 2 teams. I’m team HM(Euro). Much respect to you guys at G&G(JDM) team. The little civic is a beast. I hope you guys can fine tune a little more and squeeze a much deserved win out of it. Great series and shout out to Advanced Auto Parts for their sponsorship.
Loved the series! The civic sounds great and tall ben's excitement throughout the build was super entertaining.
Keep the EF and make it nice. This car deserves it!
Might be better 2 start off with a bettet shape ef 😂 and swap in the turbo etc from this one
@@ront5689 there's no such thing as a "better shape EF " they all look like that 😅
Agree keep it, it's beautiful already
@@ogkev1549 lol atleast with a better interior 🤣🤣 not such a tin can lol
@@ront5689 trust me thats good shape, i didnt see a lot of rust :D
Lol his reaction to the second race is such a stark contrast to the first
It wasn't his reaction, it was his broken DSG. It took 2 seconds to respond. So he floored it on yellow light second run. Watch humble mechanic channel for other perspective
This is what is all about , good times, a little trash talk and a whole lot of love from car people ❤ there is hope for mankind through racing 🤙
Dudes I got goose bumps with that first drag video. The turbo sounded SO good!!!
i wanna see a build series on the honda where you actually turn into a drag car then take it back to the drag strip
That 12.7 pass was 🔥 loved the series and watching videos on both channels. More of these crazy collabs!
In my heart, the tiny Civic won the race! ❤
if tall ben had a few warm-up runs then you guys would have won for sure. He was clearly nervous which resulted in missing gears. Anyways great race and amazing content like always. Absolutely loved those starting shots at the grid with the cars revving. looked like a video game intro
Ben could have won if he hadn't missed 3rd or 5th, but a civic is a civic, and it likes to be mis-shifted
Lol it’s not the car it’s driver mod he just can’t shift
@@adrianpatron5694 this car specifically is exceedingly difficult to shift properly in those gears. Transmission is shit. It can be done but the shifter gives so little feedback and it doesn’t want to go into third because of poor design. The guy has no problem driving his evo or RX7. It’s the car.
"Granny shifting not double clutching like he should". How come no One though of it 😂
@@theofficialwizard2753 I've seen shit honda like these every sunday with bad transmission and they shift great, it's the driver
@@thatboianrae5894 oh ok well how bout you get them to drive this car 👍🏻
Now the civic can be another trackbuild for you guys? like circuit racing or time attack ! I wanna see more that sh*t bucket , its hella rad
5 grand, a 12 second drag car, Front wheel drive mind you. Incredible! Absolutely awesome build gents!
The Civic gets your heart going! That first race was so fun!
Well to be fair to jdm, 1500 for a running driving s4 that new is a ridiculous deal he wouldn't have gotten if he wasn't himself
Not really, the DSG fault was pretty severe and had bad wiring issues that he could fox as he was a VAG master tech, most people would have spent a lot more to get it running
Yeah. It’s good when you know people I guess. Nobody would sell that car for 1500. It’s worth more in parts and scrap.
@@Riggleboy it is worth more in parts not scrap. It still costs money to disassemble a whole vehicle then market the parts and deal with buyers etc etc. A problem free 2010 S4 with 215k miles goes for 10k all day. Maybe 1500 was low but not crazy out of the realm. I think anyone could've had it for 2k especially if they pick it up themselves.
@@luislozano1513 please show me where to find these bargain S4's and $600 DSGs so i can profit.
@@luislozano1513 215k on an audi for 10k? no thanks.
wow perfect timing, my pizza just arrived and I was looking for something to watch
The life
Pizza at 9am lol
@@egren58 lol I had pizza at 9am too!
@@egren58 Could also be pizza at 4pm, in europe.
i really enjoyed that!! was rooting for the civic and was really happy for that 12, but ben.... ! lol thanks guys!!!
Great race i subscribed because of this build against humble mechanic and dap. I'm a vw guy and you guys win 100%. Looking forward for more.
That was a crispy launch on the Honda - it's still faster when it gets through all the gears.
That S4 was bit of a far fetch.......and bought 2 cars 😂 . Guy literally rebuilt and retuned the S4 lol
it's either that or there is no challenge at all
R.I.P Daniel
So Im a little late to the party but I'm 99% sure I owned this Honda Civic from 2004 to 2006 or so. This whole series has been a joy to watch mostly because the car looks exactly the way it did the last time I saw it. I bought it for $500 bucks when I was 19 to deliver pizzas in and it was completely gutted out with primer over red paint exactly the way you see it under the black. I'm the one that spray painted it black in 2005. The dash is exactly the way it was then same ugly ass blue. It was a stock 1.5 with a 4 speed trans at that time. So it was actually alot worse when i got it because the door handles we're completely shaved and had a really bad remote door pop system on it because I guess someone wanted to make it a show car or something. Only thing it had was a huge ass exhaust that was crazy loud. The doors and panels that were on it when you bought it came from my roommates civic that he had extra doors for. One of the funniest things about the car was that every single line on the title had been filled in with a name going back thru like 97 meaning the car had been sold and not tagged for 7 or 8 owners at least. I actually had to get a duplicate title made to even legally tag it. I ended up trading the car to a mechanic in exchange for him replacing the motor in my 94 Nissan Altima. Funny thing is the mechanic skipped town and ended up getting sued by multiple people for work unfinished. I believe the motor shop that he was renting space from most likely ended up with the car at the time. I don't know what happened to it after that but I would've never thought it would end up in North Carolina. So if you happen to run a Carfax on it and see it was in North Mississippi in 2005 then you will confirm I was the owner.......
Beat build series I’ve followed. Love the he budget and different approaches
It's hard to believe that audi is an 5k car. I was wholeheartedly cheering for Ben&Ben. I geuss y'all are the people's champion 🏆
i feel that, i've been around the euro scene a while and deals definitely pop up. I drove a $900 a8 in college because 3 shops couldn't fix it and the owner was ready to burn it to the ground lmao Ended up being bad ground on coil packs
It's because it isn't. lol. Even with 200k+ miles on it, with a good trans, a B8 S4 goes for close to $10k all day long. It's because, other than the Mechatronics issues with them (which were addressed in the B8.5's), they're as bulletproof as a German car can be. No way you or me could buy one for anything remotely close to $1500, even with a bad DSG.
Its not. "humble" mechanics really wanted to win so they brought a 10k car vs a 1500 dollar car lol.
@@jae9843 they can stop the bullets physically because of so much steel and aluminum weight they have but they are not THAT reliable as you think, it’s not just “mechatronic issues”, the transmission alone can have bad clutches, selector shaft position sensor (insane repair, need to dismember the entire trans), not to mention that cats love to melt and clog up and getting them out is difficult, too. My experience with my B8 S4 told me that’s it’s reliability and the car itself is way overhyped, but I guess something cost whatever somebody is willing to pay for it
@@ChawWee208 an internet ignorant opinion gotta love it
This was fun guys. Another welcomed activity to add to the channel. Loved seeing the Honda bringing shock, amazement and smiles to everyone involved.
Great race and series. 12.7 in that POS is awesome, and it is why I love Hondas!!!
This must be the best deal that has been ever done $1,500 for an S4 is a steal, send this men to jail lol!
True but he did buy it from his friend+ it was broken.
with 215k miles and a bad transmission and wiring harness it's $1,500-$2000 anything over that is crazy
I’m still tripping about how crazy a deal this is
@@FredricMccubrey these cars in Europe are like 10k+ euros lmao, can't imagine thinking 2000$ is crazy to pay for it, considering xenons and front bumper itself is probably worth 1000$
I have never been so excited and happy for a TH-cam video.
I love how shakyjakey the CivBomb is on the launches
When the vent fell out, flashbacks to many friends' Civics. Such hoopties
300 hp , drag radials and stock honda oem axles. I remember my first beer. But seriously though, even my 99 Cobra blew half shafts with drag radials. This was a great series. That ef has potential if set up a little more for the strip.
Damn they were right... The DSG really does count out human error in this situation. The Audi did this like a professional in a suit (well done but not exciting) , but the Honda went *send it* and that makes it much more fun and memorable... Which makes it the real winner.
Any body can hold launch control and stomp on the pedal. Not exciting. A buddy of mine took me in his brand new corvette at the strip. Stomp the pedal.
Launching a FWD car with some power is tough.
@@Deutscheautoparts👍 you guys did great 😁
But it sums up the scenes pretty well. German Cars are often hardly modified, but very fast and easy to drive, while JDM cars are often the opposite
@@WorkinDuck oh we tune the hell out of them 😁. For newer VAG cars a dyno tune, exhaust, induction kit and suspension is what most people do. Older Euro cars are far more modified, heck the amount of BMW M50/M52 turbo conversions is big.
An S4 for $1500?! Where does this guy buy his cars? I wanna go with him next time!
bad trans. yeah i can see sold for 1.500$
when you just gave up on dumping money into an old car even more if its an euro car.
could of end at the junkyard but he wanted just a bit more money!
@@Bowtie4me please share your glasses with me because i could never see this ever happening in real life, let alone a budgeted challenge.
@@H4Hamburger in real life the car would have never of been sold whole... selling for parts would easily be well over $1500. But for the amount of work it needed, $1500 was fair
Hey that first pass was great for not being drag racers. Charles even said he doesn't drag race. This was awesome
If you told me that 2021 would have Gears and Gasoline drag racing a Honda Civic I would have laughed.
The Earth truly is healing.
Maybe do a JDM vs Euro Re-Match where you spend another $5k to see which can get the fastest ET ?
A relatively new S4 with boltons is not a $5000 car, you cannot change my mind
It was broken + it was from a friend
@@jozefm3044 yeah and that totally ruins the spirit of the friendly competition. Fucking yikes
yeah I just sold my stock s4 of the same year for 15k. not a 5000 car but that Honda kept up!
I was thinking the same thing! I wouldn't even be celebrating if I was in that Audi.
yeah it's cheating.
That Honda is such a hilariously good representation of why so many of us got into this scene. What a fun little clapped out rocket.
the S4 wont the race but the Civic won our hearts. This is seriously the best content ever.
Please please keep this car and use it to learn the import drag racing scene! This car isn't far from 10s! Just a little bit of driver mod, cams+valve train and a traction bar you'll be knocking on the door
No where close to 10s lmao people clearly don’t know what it takes to get a 10sec 1/4
@@gapcityracing6086 car is 100hp, a traction bar and a set of 225s from the 10s at the weight its at (depending on gearbox)
you guys should keep the civic and make it nice
Nice race i really like that Civic EF it's so good
Excellent series. Better then any cable TV show. I'm inspired.
I guess that it almost had the same faith as the Jetta. Something gets blown when it's not the real run
tbf the civic would be alot easier to fix than the jetta
Im absolutely an Euro guy but that civic still impressed me the most. Amazing work and an amazing series by both teams!
There aren't many EF builds on YT, so IMO, you guys should do a build series on it. You already have a K series NA and it would be pretty cool to see a B series turbo.
Ugh I really enjoyed this series, watching The Humble Mechanic’s side of it was really cool as well! Well done G&G!!!
Any s4 from that generation is at least 15k in my country 😂 and he gets its for 1.5k + the trans for 600... How
The _wheels_ on an S4 cost $1.5k
It's pretty easy to buy broken cars of any year pretty much under $3k just depends on the amount broken especially on these Audis they cost so much to fix at a dealership but doing it yourself is ridiculously cheaper
@@tghidsgn Not these wheels. LOL The PO was drive by feel.
@@FirstNameMattheson Dude, those are 99% totaled / salvage cars. A clean titled S4 that new that's mechanically totaled under 5k is an EXTREMELY rare find.
probably "buddy buddy" price
Of course i'm JDM team.. what ever the result (i haven't watch the video while writing this comment) 🤣
Edit after finish the video: totally won't change my mind since that ef actually fast too.. wow.. 12.7 sec is dope for that car, and i'm terribly sorry for short ben 🤣
This entire series was so fun. Awesome work on everything, the cars, the presentation, the camera work, the editing, you all killed it!
The Civic deserves a second life as a real project car! I’d love to see it actually get some love and get fixed up.
1:40 you can't use Murphys law to defeat Murphys law
Jdm really won this. They gave him another car to bring out. Lol
great race both cars were really good and impressive for the time limit and budget .
That civic ought to be good for low 12's @115. Great idea and comparo!
Should have been wearing the Boosted Boiz T-shirt "Pray for my Axels" LOL
Been waiting all night for this
shout outs to Advance Auto Parts for sponsoring this awesome series for both channels.
Please make more videos on the ef it's so fun to watch it go
12.7, honda was much faster :D considering the audi has DSG it couldnt have improved the time by much :D
They’re all so awkward together I must say. I’m subscribed to all 3 channels btw, so don’t hate.
This was a great series from both sides . I am a Euro guy but I’ve also owned a Civic . Looking forward to the next go round .
"Previously on The Star Wars" Auralnauts...When I heard the very beginning that is what came to my mind. Even before I watch the rest of this I am going to say this is going to be close but if the B18 can get a good launch it will real the A4 in. My modding experience has been nothing but The 12v VR6 n/a. I am at the point I see the strengths and weakness's in all cars. Yet I can't help but believe the age old power to weight ratio will win out in this.
So after watching this all the way through Good runs to the both of you and it was a good vid. More collaborations if possible. I think adding like that Dude In Blue and Engineering Explained would create a lot of fun variables.
nah... JDM won, it won our hearts
I WANT THAT HONDA!
Following you as a loyal fan of Charles. Great car, I love fast rattle traps!
Awesome racing
10:17, makes me so dang happy
People don’t believe in a God but I do now, seeing that the Honda didn’t blow up off the line
🤯🤯
when you are german and you like Japanese cars... damnit I can't decide who to root for!
It definitely is AWESOME to see both perspectives... Well done guys... At least you didn't kill it, within the 3 "Official" runs.
Thanks for this one....Racing! Brings back fond memories of the drag strip. Adrenaline pumping and gears shifting! 😁
