I love this build !! I can relate to drooling over all these parts as a kid. This will be one of the Nicest Civics in the World, once your done matt. Can’t wait for the next upload
This was my dream car was I was 18 back in 1999. And youre building it the way I wish I could back than!!! Those mugen seats are beautiful. I wanna win this car soooo bad!!!
I don't care what other people say. You are literally making the car better, and at the same time building it period specific. All together makes it really awesome.
I been out the honda game for a very long time. Loved my 400hp boosted integra but once i moved on i never looked back and had no desire to own and build another honda but now i want to. This car is sick!
I’m 37 and I’m restoring a DB8 right now. It’s not to this scale but emotionally it’s pretty analogous. Nearly impossible to explain to non Honda people but awesome to watch someone else on the same journey. I’m 6ft and 180 lbs and I wish I could fit in those seats. I’m honestly at a loss for what do for seats.
You can really see Matt's enjoyment on this civic on every single little thing that he does to it, he loves it regardless of it just being a civic. Pretty legit build same way I would build mine if I had the money. You go Matt
Matt, you truly have good taste in your choice of mods. No matter what platform you're working with. Whoever wins this car is gonna be extremely satisfied. Great content as always 👍
Definitely looking good. I wanted one of these when I was younger. I got a chance to drive my friends modded si and you are correct about how much power it’s lacking, but just fun to drive. Everything you are doing is looking perfect so far. I hope whoever gets this will keep it just as mint
I have a 98 ITR and I am enjoying this! I am replacing worn parts, removing mods and making mine OEM+. 14:05 I am one of the guys who said don’t roll the fenders!! It would definitely be worth adding the black with red stich ITR rear seats as you mentioned.
I felt that when he said he would have sold his soul to be unboxing this at 20 years old , I'm right there with ya man , and the part about I'm getting the type r b18c motor , and I'm getting mugen this and mugen that, that was the good ole days 😁😁 having that dream car in your mind. I'm gonna keep living vicariously thru you brother. 👍 cant wait to see how this civic turns out.
I enjoy your videos. You and I share almost the identical back story of owning a si/ Em1 as a kid then fast forward to now, purchasing a si and being able to afford and do all the things we couldn’t as a youngster in the 2000’s. Are you selling you leather seats?
Have been waiting patiently for this vid they are some great seats, well worth the money and transform the interior. Deffo get the rear seat and door cards done to match, I think that would really look good.
"Would have sold my soul for these seats", I believe methylenedioxymethamphetamine was the supplemental income generator back in the early 2000s. When I heard 5lbs more per seat, my heart dropped out of my chest. Loving the build, keep 'em comin'!
Seats look good. Steering wheel will be a nice touch. Along with the shift boot which 💯 needs to be black with red stitching. Are you going to either A. Get an arm rest delete? Or B. Have it done black w/red stitching as well? And the back seats can’t be pleather either!
I've never seen another TH-camr so obsessed with the video comments. I can feel the real frustration in your voice. Try to enjoy the process more and opinions less. Easier said then done.
My problem is his infatuation with the viewers that think he's ruining the car. You can tell it really bothers him because he brings it up in every video... several times.
@@bboysfanatic 100%. He is a rich, middle aged white guy buying expensive bolt on parts for his Honda Civic. People are going to talk shit. His sensitivity to this is annoying.
You guys should cut Matt a break. Some of us that are a bit ocd take actual personal offensive to comments. We try not to but it’s our personality. I can actually see myself slightly in how Matt is. We would get along haha
@@bboysfanatic I see it as a theme Matt is running with since some commenters said he was going to ruin it. Maybe you misunderstand his sarcasm? I could be wrong but that's how I see it, just his sense of humour
I always find the amount of money that car TH-camrs spend unsettling. I’m like “this guy is going broke for views”. But because Matt was in finance I feel like he’s gotta he smart about it and I don’t feel like my views are attributing to bad spending haha. But this video did make me wanna get seats for my Jetta haha
Must make the 50k em1 loss a little less painful... Or not lol. These look really really nice. Not in your face like red recaros. Mugen lowkey bling is the jam. Are you going to replace the rear seats to fabric to match the buckets? I always thought the option leather seats looked off; especially in a civic. They really clash now. If you can source some fabric oem em1 rears they’d be perfect. Wish the stitching on the mugen seats was blue though to match car and to be different. Red stitching seems out of place outside type rs. Nardi makes a blue stitched suede wheel which would be great for the car. SW388 are beautiful but you can get some regamaster evo 2 in the damn near same silver color of the stock wheels. You wouldn’t notice them if not looking or in the know. I’ve been struggling to not preorder them as in reality they’d be as much as the car lol. Again, lowkey bling lol. CE28N or TE37 in magnesium color aren’t too bad either. Lots more bling though lol. Skeptical at first, but builds getting better each update. Cheers.
Still my favourite ht leads. Remember the day mine arrived for my old em1. But fully agree in standard trim they are appalling. You should only ever want a standard one to modify it with the parts you want 👌
From watching your videos you don’t seem to like using car seat covers. I would like to put car seat covers in my truck just to protect the seats, would you tell me which seat covers you would use if you chose to put seat covers on your vehicles?
Real rich!!!!, I looked for them and I found them in 1950 each one, aunt I have the same EM1 car only with more power in the first stage of 2 my goal 1000HP
Overnight parts from Japan
🤣🤣💯
This is going to be the cleanest Civic I've ever seen in my life.
he will probably list it for sale in 2 weeks so keep an eye out!
@@corehax1 well. Trying to eliminate debt. Plus I'm furloughed. And it's not really my style, but I can appreciate how clean it is.
I love this build !! I can relate to drooling over all these parts as a kid. This will be one of the Nicest Civics in the World, once your done matt. Can’t wait for the next upload
But he's destroying the car! LOL, I can't believe you find detractors everywhere. What's up with the new wheels. We saw cap today.
"The seats looked a lot bigger in the pictures" - Matt M. 😂
Man you know you want to keep it, don't silence the kid in yourself. You're a Honda boi at heart haha
Every time I watch Matt’s videos I feel like I’m 20 again and living my dream. Thanks for sharing man 👍🏽
This was my dream car was I was 18 back in 1999. And youre building it the way I wish I could back than!!! Those mugen seats are beautiful. I wanna win this car soooo bad!!!

YES!!!!! Authentic Spoons are the way to go. I plan to put SW388 in 18inch on my next build (FK8 Civic Hatch).
I been out the honda game for a very long time. Loved my 400hp boosted integra but once i moved on i never looked back and had no desire to own and build another honda but now i want to. This car is sick!
I personally love the factory option black leather seats. I've only seen maybe 1 or 2 other EM1's with the option. But Mugen is top notch
Mugen is literally an extension of Honda it's owned by Hirotoshi Honda, son of founder Soichiro Honda.
I’m not a fan of the leather but it does make it better knowing it’s a factory option and only a few came with it

I loved getting mugen boxes back in the day. So hyped for this car.
Freaking great to see how excited you get over the Honda build!! Never gets old!!! God damn I’m jealous!!!
Matt, you truly have good taste in your choice of mods. No matter what platform you're working with. Whoever wins this car is gonna be extremely satisfied. Great content as always 👍
I remember when these first released. I absolutely loved them so much. Just couldn't afford them at the time.
This is prob the best OG video on the channel!! I loved it, felt like I was there with you guys!!!
Definitely looking good. I wanted one of these when I was younger. I got a chance to drive my friends modded si and you are correct about how much power it’s lacking, but just fun to drive. Everything you are doing is looking perfect so far. I hope whoever gets this will keep it just as mint
Nice!!! You should get an Integra Type R next.
I’m shocked he hasn’t already
I have a 98 ITR and I am enjoying this! I am replacing worn parts, removing mods and making mine OEM+. 14:05 I am one of the guys who said don’t roll the fenders!! It would definitely be worth adding the black with red stich ITR rear seats as you mentioned.

Finally I'm watching the video, and you're the only person that I know that has those seats.
Damn! Those seats are gorgeous ! Great choice.
Love it when us "older folks" build cars now... we do it right the first time around. The lessons we've learned over the years 😂
So true brother! Love this comment
Matt's more excited about these mugen seats than he was getting his 991.2 gt3rs haha love it, little honda bros for life!!
Skip to 23:28 and set the playback speed to .5, pure gold! Great video Matt! Love the builds!
I'm 20 with a super clean one owner all original 2001 prelude in pearl white and I'm drooling watching this 🔥🔥
Them seats are so good. Can not wait to see the wheel in with the seats!!!
I love how you appreciate all makes/models.
I enjoy your videos. You and I share almost the identical back story of owning a si/ Em1 as a kid then fast forward to now, purchasing a si and being able to afford and do all the things we couldn’t as a youngster in the 2000’s.
Are you selling you leather seats?
I'm keeping all the parts together with the car.
I appreciate the response 👍🏽 keep up the cool Vids.
"You gotta get better, bigger dreams, bro..." Lol dreams dashed. 😂
The worst part of these videos is when they end. Can you make them never end Uncle Matty?
Those seats are lush. Kudos Matt they look great 👍🏼
The bottom bolsters look just like the ones on the oem CTR seats, and they are comfortable AF.
Love the seats! I would be geekin during the unboxing lol 😭
Am happy to see that you’re happy man
Awesome work. Love all your videos. Hope you do a FK8 Type R build in future.
It’s a great reaction when opening the boxes who ever wins this hopefully will like it as much as you do
Matt Moreman 2020, “I can’t help it I have some man in me.”
What’s his name? 🤣🤣🤣
22:38 I stopped the video and went straight to the comments for this. Bravo.
Lmfao
Moreman
Fereli FY no, the name of the man he has in him.
Man i can see the one of cleanest Modified Civic on Internet coming together.
Hey Matt I recommend the K TUNED lean back short shifter V3 for b/d series. Will be a great upgrade in terms of shifting and hand placement.
Those mugen seats are so nice. Theirs factory leather Si seats are rare to find
Have been waiting patiently for this vid they are some great seats, well worth the money and transform the interior. Deffo get the rear seat and door cards done to match, I think that would really look good.
Matt, you opinion about cars and feeling around 4:00 is same as mine, only you find right words to say that.
Enjoy, greetings from Croatia, keep Safe!
Wow what an amazing build. I remember looking at these seats on the website.
Love the red stitchingon the seats and can't wait to see the wheels with those blue wheel nuts.
Obsessed is definitely the name of this channel!!!!
Matt playing with Porsche parts: Here's a thing...
Matt opening ricer civic parts: OH HELL YEAH!!!
lmao!

OK this was a nice build already but the Mugen seats are a game changer. Next level status.
You are really transforming an already beautiful car into something unique and amazing!
Hearing the prices of the parts on that car give me chill 😱😱.
Work your face off everyday and it’s normal. Everyday though.
This is awesome man, best seats ever, great stuff Matt. Can’t wait for this giveaway 👍
“Just that two inches, makes a big difference!” That’s what she said.
SEMA worthy build 🔥🔥
This channel makes me jealous. On the flips side you are documenting every kids dream thank you. Sold my soul 🤣 for some spoon lugs
I have one, it sucked until it got the ITR swap. Still kinda slow but it’s fun
Yea, showed those caps today. Do you think we get some big spinner rims from Matt? 😉
Love this build. Which seat rails did you use. I see they are bride, but I want to make sure I order the right ones. Thank you

No kidding. Its like the third video that he's mentioned the Mugen pronunciation. Nobody cares man. Call it what you want and STFU.

Loving the videos keep em coming!
Best civic ever made that’s why I got one
That factory leather is pretty sweet, dealer option too.
i clicked the video to see how many times matt will say muugen and correct himself for it haha
Its Christmas day for Matt everyday!
I did not notice that your interiors are leather, that is special.
Man you are pouring money into this car, fun to watch
Just watching this video on how you build this Suuuuuper pretty SI that is my dream car because i cant afford it makes me feel satisfied 😅✌
Matt's helping me upgrading my dreams :)
Must make the 50k em1 loss a little less painful... Or not lol.
These look really really nice. Not in your face like red recaros. Mugen lowkey bling is the jam.
Are you going to replace the rear seats to fabric to match the buckets? I always thought the option leather seats looked off; especially in a civic. They really clash now. If you can source some fabric oem em1 rears they’d be perfect.

Thanks for sharing Matt. What tool box are you unboxing it on? S12 or S9? Is the S12 fairly easy to move around the shop?
Get a Spoon steering wheel with the boss hub, spoon cluster for approximately $9K, backyard special front lip and a mugen spoiler and you’ll be set.
I don't really like any of those.
Touché
24:22 had me cracking up! Thanks for that Matt.
That white gangster lean hit different different 😂😂
Dam im so jealous over them seats.👍👍nice touch
Never keep this car outside. It will be gone in 60 Seconds. Install a kill switch
Very nice seats! Mugen is very rare to see. Can I buy your b16a? I want to use in my 1991 civic ef. Please let me know.
i think i was as happy as you during this video. JDM
From watching your videos you don’t seem to like using car seat covers. I would like to put car seat covers in my truck just to protect the seats, would you tell me which seat covers you would use if you chose to put seat covers on your vehicles?
😍 god I hope I win this em1 🙏
Big stack of "that's what she said" starts around 22:00
You bought authentic spoons?! How do I enter this giveaway? I’m not up to speed.
Sweet! Looks great
Real rich!!!!, I looked for them and I found them in 1950 each one, aunt I have the same EM1 car only with more power in the first stage of 2 my goal 1000HP
They are amazing 😭
The only issue I had with my 00 ex was head space. the sunroof assembly makes you lose so much real estate, and im only 5 11.
the seat belt trimming made up for the added weight of the seats its fineeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Nice Danm would be a dream to own that car
Consider dying the swooshes to black and blue obsessed style
Look into the skunk 2 short shifter kit it’s really nice and balanced.
JDM galore 😍😍😍
Looks great..gotta do something about those rears to compleat the look
Sad thing is that those stock SI seats are probably worth more than the Mugens.
Maybe just the snob in me but this is like wearing adidas socks with Nike shoes. Spoon and Mugen should never mix. J/k. Loving the build!
