What a big week that was! Thanks for taking the email seriously.. that’s one less Civic on the scrap heaps and back out into the wild. Hope you guys enjoy it. See you in Australia one day in the not too distant future. We had a great time, your team are a bunch of legends.
As a huge car guy, this is insane! This is the car equivalent of asking to upgrade your GTX1050 to something with a little more juice, and getting a whole new PC with a 4090 harline liquid cooled, high refresh screen, new desk, and gaming chair. Even that doesn't really sum it up
As a lifelong fan of both LTT and MCM, this might be the most beautiful collab I have ever witnessed. And my home state of Washington even got represented as an antagonist in the plot. Outstanding!
It’s so weird but also fulfilling to see Linus out of his element in something I do know a lot about. The part with him being flabbergasted that the engine was in Washington and they are just carrying on was great, because that’s the way most car projects go lol.
I feel this deeply.. I've done so much tweaking and random little things on my cars just looking for things to mess with while waiting for some main part to arrive. 🤣 A PC equivalent I can think of is doing excessively good cable management because you just want to mess with the PC but the CPU hasn't arrived yet but everything else did...
More or less the same here. Living in large countries (namely Brazil) means that car parts coming from across the continent is just part of the hobby. PC parts can come from far away as well.
Super weird to see both… in one vid. Still nerds, nerding out in the best way. And I agree… seeing Martin being the chaos creator instead of Linus was GOLD!!!
I’m really happy to hear praise of the engine my car has. I did a ton of research before I bought it to make sure it’s the best use of my money. I have the K24W7 variant of that engine and it’s been fabulous at 100k miles so far
As a retired audio installer it brings me great joy when a non audio channel does audio and then proceeds to do it the correct way. From sound treatment to speaker adapters. Fast rings and proper sized power wire and talk about fusing. Even showed the amperage per foot gauge chart. Just top notch.
Linus (kinda tech guy): I have no idea about cars. Marty (car guy): **Proceeds to explain the parallels between car mods and layer 1 networking tech in moderate detail**
this genuinely is the most bro episode ever. just a bunch of bros building a car, coming across many many issues, but being chill and vibing as bros, i love it
Ive been following Linus since birth/NCIX days. I don't think I've sat through an entire video in years. This was really well done (edited and written), and most importantly... entertaining! I think part of that is seeing Linus humbled and asking curious, genuine questions about a topic he's not a smartass about.
me too, and the hosts are all pros by now so they are perfect together, have great conversations together, explain more together, all without any talking over mumbo jumbo. I've always loved the less "formal" LTT videos with multiple people collaborating or competing with one another; they're a complete different experience.
As a fellow Honda enthusiast and Civic owner, I can appreciate how much work went into this project. To see his reaction at the end of the vid when VTEC kicked in was awesome. Hats off to all the guys who worked on this car!
At 4:40 he's so right. I did electronics repair my whole life, down to micro soldering fixing 6 plus touch disease back in the day, now I work on cars mostly. I was able to use my same abilities to diagnose, troubleshoot, and research, to fix cars, as I did electronics.
Out of the blue, I ran into Marty and the crew at the YVR International Departures a few weeks ago. Had a really wholesome conversation with Marty, really made my day and it was great to meet one of my all time favorite TH-camrs. Seeing the crew here in Vancouver, I knew something great was in the making! Amazing episode and always fun to see car content here at LTT.
Watched MCM and LTT since I was a kid and loved them both, started my interest into Cars, motorcycles and tech. So glad to see both companies still going and making awesome collabs. Thank you for all the years of entertainment!
This needs to go all the way now. Before it was a joke, but now it's so sick. Need a body kit, good paint job, new seats/wheel, and maybe a turbo and it would be perfect. I'm invested now.
I love these crossover type episodes where it involves "Tech", but not in the traditional sense. The way everyone came together to make this happen is the reason why I love the car community. It's just a bunch of normal folks, who enjoy tinkering with things, and hanging out with good people.
8:23 the way he passively has to give the screw driver a few twists is how you know Linus really did get the ratchet mechanism just right. LTT could probably make a killing on fidget cubes 🤣
The most insane thing about this collaboration is hearing the cadences. I never really paid attention before to just how much the sound and flow of an MCM video differs from an LTT video, or from a Technology Connections video or any number of other channels, but hearing Linus in "piece to camera presentation" mode on MCM, and hearing Marty in "off-handed meandering but still informative" mode on LTT, really contrasts and highlights the different voices that established channels tend to develop
I'm an IT enthusiast. I know JACK about cars. I am always amazed by car mechanics that they can look at a car and immediately know what to look for to fix problems. it's always fun to watch!
As someone who's been in IT for quite awhile I can say we get this reaction from time to time for computers as well. It's fun to see from the other side though, people do awesome things in worlds you don't know about!

And as someone who can do the mechanic stuff like ripping out a gearbox of a Mercedes Sprinter in 18 Minutes or analyse a CAN Bus from the engine, Its a lot of fun, most of the time. And i build my own PCs since im 15 years old with Custom Watercooling, case modding and all that stuff, both Worlds came together in this collab. It Was SO GOOD to watch the Video. Hope theres more to come.
Yup, pretty sure the EM2 in Indonesia or somewhere else in Asia had a K20 version, but I haven't heard anything about it other than the Wikipedia section under the 7th gen Civic.
This is great. I love all these channels. I've watched them sense i was in high school, from building my first pc to moding my first car stero. The collaboration is absolutely amazing.
As a car dude that doesent honestly live in the tech space but watches ltt, the similarities between building a car and building a computer are super similar and thats kinda what drew me into it in the first place. The problems you have to solve on a car are often incredibly similar to problems you need to solve on a computer.
As a car audio guy and pro, I am very happy to see someone in a video actually pay attention to the sound system and try to do it properly! You even made brackets and used foam rings around the speakers, well done, it sounds like you even knew what you were talking about, refreshing! Love how you built in the sub into the car for a clean look and fit too.
RIGHT ! This car looks like a total ricer, but underneath it trully is tuned for performance AND sound. Very rare combo, and even more rare the fact that it's done professionaly with quality parts.
The only thing i didnt really care for was the cable management and the mile long velcroed up RCA cables. For computer guys that go on about proper cable management i thought they'd at least buy the proper length wires, but it looks like they just took from a kit and had way too much wire. It takes away the aesthetics of an otherwise decent looking amp rack.
Holy crap, i was not expecting that at all! My favorite tech guy and mighty car mods in a combo! Coming from IT with a go fast car addiction that was probably one of the coolest things I've seen in a while!
@@SentientTeapot2444 that is true. One of the things I've never been able to do as an electronics engineer is to properly understand when control theory tried to teach me that every electrical circuit could be seen as a mechanical circuit
Seeing MCM go from modding a car on a driveway to its own garage and warehouse and seeing LTT going from a single house to a warehouse of staff, both channels have become staples of youtube and beyond proud to say i have watched both for years and will keep doing so for years to come
10:28 Brian's overnight parts from Japan. Also, as a Brit it brings a tear to my eye to see our Canadian and Australian cousins playing so nicely together.
As a car guy and a pc guy, and somebody who has watched both MCM and LTT for at least a decade, the amount of things in common that both hobbies share and the sheer amount of happiness I had watching this in insurmountable
I absolutely love how this feels like a MCM episode, but featuring Linus and Alex - it's weird not hearing Moog's voiceovers during the music sections haha. I'm just sooo sad this isn't an entire series; love this collab.
@32:10 Brother is now officially a car guy. The delayed elation as he processes what just happened is priceless. Also the underglow activating with VTEC is HILARIOUS.
Came to say this. Also, I was shocked when they said it would be operable too. I doubt that they didn't think about longevity when designing the shifter, so it speaks volumes to the screedriver's quality that it should handle that amount of repeated lateral force and still operate.
@StewPedassle the screwdriver is overengineered because linus has such exacting demands and Kyle went to town on it. You don't offer a no question warranty on a product typically if you are not confident in the engineering quality.
@@Jon-Sen it had 3 different screw drivers in it, first was my personal one then Alex’s metal one then we settled on the retro one as it matched the car the best
Tonight on Linus Gear Alex Gets into the boot (0:43) Linus gets immediately corrected on the pronuciation of Aluminium (6:10) And Jeremy becomes Australian (9:40)
This collab was fantastic. Love seeing people share passions with others and love seeing people respect the overlap between tech guys and car guys (my experience working at a tech store, a lot of car guys are tech guys too)
Love the crossover! It was like a comicbook xover. Caught the LTT first then watched the MCM and it was great to get multiple angles on the same project. I wonder if all the teams collaborated on editing because each team flushes out different aspects of the mod or at least elaborates on the story more. Love to see more of these from both teams!
Mighty Car Mods was the very first youtube channel i Subbed to in my life back in 2010 when they were working out of a small garage in a main road. LTT, this collaboration just blew my mind and brought a tear to my eye. thank you.
This is the collaboration I always wanted. I’ve a heavy DIYer, build PCs, k swapping my Miata rn and doing home renovations. Marty is right the type of people that love modding, DIY and overclocking we all cut from the same cloth
This has to be the best ever Collab. I have kind of a same swap in my Honda civic 1996. From the power stand point it definitely kills. It. I've also had the hydraulic power steering changed to electronic. But man this is awesome.
years ago, i actually engine swapped a 1.6 mitsubishi lancer for a 4G69 2.4 MIVEC (Mitsubishi brand V-tec) and also wired bunch of stupid LED lights that came on when the mivec kicked in. this was long before RGB was a thing. So i really appreciate that little touch.
"If it leaks oil, it has oil" - Shitbox 13:20. As an IT professional I've watched LTT for years. As someone who dailies his shitbox Civic, I've watch MCC and VTEC Academy for years. This is a collab I didn't know I needed, but the world is a better place for it. I now need a LTT screwdriver handle for my shifter. I don't have a fancy K series to do this with. Just a stock D series...for now.
I still want to understand the history of car ecus, whether they're an asic, x86, arm risc, powerpc, ti, and so on and so fourth, because I feel that it would be more interesting than most people think
You'd love FuelTech, they are a Brazilian company where insane tariffs mean ppl can only afford stuff made in country and they have been developing some of the best EFI kit since the beginning
I had an Ek9 civic and while the B16B engine was a legend, the plan was always to get a k20, I managed a decent exhaust, coilovers and a fancy gear knob (wasnt an LTT screwdiver) you guys smashed this out in no time, hot damn, good job! great video!
LTT and Mighty Car Mods are two channels that I've followed since they started out out youtube, it's amazing to see this collab after how much both channels grew . from Garage Stereo upgrade job to flying to Canada to upgrade a Civic. Best Collab.
What a fantastic crossover of my favourite channels! This was such a blast and feel good video on my birthday. Cheers to everyone making it happen and having fun while doing it.
Well, I wasn’t a car guy but I might be now. Hard to comment without sounding like a simp but I’m being honest. This was prob my fav TH-cam vid of the year. I loved the whole idea of this. It was a cool project. Do a nice, amazingly technical and creative thing for someone, bring in a whole lot of talented, creative and genuine people who love what they do and are clearly top tier and then watch them smash it under time and situational pressure. I could go on but all I’m gonna say is I’ve watched every linked vid, found some new channels I wouldn’t have found and even pulled the trigger buying something I’d been on the fence about because it was a good sponsorship. If there was any question about the success of this video, dudes, it was a smash for all of you.
@@stompreaper as a dude thats into cars, i love hondas. Theyre like legos. So so easy to work on, so so cheap to make into a V8 killer, and if done right can keep reliability
Actually might be one of the best videos y'all have EVER done. I'm not a car guy but the passion is infectious and the vibes on this video are just so dang good. 10/10!!!!!!
As a car guy, linus' reactions to the car stuff is exactly the same as my mates when im working on their cars. Recently a super techy friend of mine had the starter fail on his clio and he was dumbfounded watching me wrangle it past all the pipes and wiring. Like marty said, its the same sort of wheelhouse just took a different viewpoint.
Mighty Car Mods!! I still remember watching the original "Turbos and Temples" movie when it came out, and i still watch EVERY new video. The production value and music are INCREDIBLE!🤘
Amazing stuff, this is carguy heaven right there. As I am in the plans to move away from Germany Canada seems to be a nice spot but man am I too late for this... Awesome guys!
omg, all these mods are FIRE. So jealous! The enigine and gearbox. The audio. The brakes. The exhaust. The SPOILER. Holy heck! Big ups to everyone involved and Ridge!
Ya seat upgrades and that's the final piece. Basically just a personal commodity but now that your civic is like track ready I think those will be just the perfect finish. Ltt Embroidered racing seats would be so sick I think we can all agree!
This video is my two hobbies and fav channels, esp back in the day. I remember when MCM was a young channel at Martys Moms house just having fun, yk like pissin on your VW golf type of fun. Cant believe this is a video still
Never in a million years did I think I would see Vtec Academys Brian and Marty from MCM do a collab with LTT. My 3 favourite channels kswapping a civic lmao, my heart is melting
Only till you can't find it after doing a repair and thus can't drive your car anymore xD Since it appears to be slightly adapted it can't even be easily replaced lol
Linus, I broke my back literally and been trying to figure out life after losing my career and my main hobby, cars. Watching my future and my past collide gave me chills. Love the channel 🤙 I hope to be a Tech one day.
I own an 09 Civic. It's been in my family since 2010, it was my younger sister's first car. I bought it in 2020, and had it repainted, also replaced the suspension. It's still stock, 235k on the motor and transmission, still running well. Last year, my partner drove it to work, and fell asleep at the wheel on the way home. She swiped a guard rail, which gouged the passenger side from front to back. I was glad that she was fine, but heartbroken about the car. I knew that repair would cost more than the value of the car. I promised my sister that I would treasure that old car, and I did. I decided that it was worth it to me to have it repaired. 3k later and it looks like nothing happened. I would love to have a K series motor put into my Civic, hopefully something that will happen in the future. What a great video! Please do more like it!
What a big week that was! Thanks for taking the email seriously.. that’s one less Civic on the scrap heaps and back out into the wild. Hope you guys enjoy it. See you in Australia one day in the not too distant future. We had a great time, your team are a bunch of legends.
@@mightycarmods that was incredible.
Crazy didn't see this coming!
we need a "LTT upgrades mcm's network/pcs" video asap
MCM absolute legends! Never thought such collab could ever exist!
Awesome work. That looks like a fun car to drive now
Thank you for being such great hosts! The LTT team are makers and we dig it.
Great video guys very entertaining needed subtitles though not good with accents lol.
Love your work! keeping old hondas alive, doing god work lol
Brian had to go up to Canada to school Linus

This was an AWESOME collaboration episode!!! Love seeing stuff like this!
The Greatest Collab That's Ever Lived

Love from 🇺🇸
I knew you were a car guy too.
Coming from the greatest technician that's ever lived!
As a huge car guy, this is insane! This is the car equivalent of asking to upgrade your GTX1050 to something with a little more juice, and getting a whole new PC with a 4090 harline liquid cooled, high refresh screen, new desk, and gaming chair. Even that doesn't really sum it up
bro comparing this car build to a 4090 is kinda disrespectful
Yeah no, not a viable comparison 💀
I agree with the comparison. This swap was like reusing an old case but upgrading all the internals to the latest and greatest.
@@matthogue7600 there’s no way ur comparing a 20k build with a 2k build
This is more like a gtx1050 to a gtx1660 ti. It needs a big turbo (which it can handle) to then be considered a 3080.
As a lifelong fan of both LTT and MCM, this might be the most beautiful collab I have ever witnessed. And my home state of Washington even got represented as an antagonist in the plot. Outstanding!

i´ve seen you somewhere before
I didnt expect to see a wild Bringus here. Hi Bringus!

SO FRIGGIN COOL!!
I was so excited to see that! Loved the energy of this collab 😂 Super fun video!
I had to show my family how cool it was... they didn't care but it's definitely rad.
I really loved when they switched out the screw driver from the standard color to a purple one. Very on brand.
@@cretinousmartyr3522 that's me on a daily basis haha
“Why do you overclock stuff?” Such a valid question to turn car speak into tech speak.
He got a point there!!!
It's how I explain computer talk to my car friends too 😂
But overclock is software side, aim to push the hardware to the limit with same hardware, things like this is more like upgrading from 3070 to a 4080

Car content (or any content) guys on their level need to understand that a bit, since they have to do editing and have NAS and stuff.

This is great. I love all these channels. I've watched them sense i was in high school, from building my first pc to moding my first car stero. The collaboration is absolutely amazing.
As a car dude that doesent honestly live in the tech space but watches ltt, the similarities between building a car and building a computer are super similar and thats kinda what drew me into it in the first place. The problems you have to solve on a car are often incredibly similar to problems you need to solve on a computer.
In every possible way this car with ridge livery is better than gold cybertruck
One of the greatest collaboration on the TH-cam
As a car audio guy and pro, I am very happy to see someone in a video actually pay attention to the sound system and try to do it properly! You even made brackets and used foam rings around the speakers, well done, it sounds like you even knew what you were talking about, refreshing! Love how you built in the sub into the car for a clean look and fit too.
Not to mention active setup and no need for rear speakers!! I miss my active setup....WORLD of difference
8 hours since they posted and yours is the the first audio head comment I’ve seen 🫡
You're welcome. 😎
RIGHT ! This car looks like a total ricer, but underneath it trully is tuned for performance AND sound. Very rare combo, and even more rare the fact that it's done professionaly with quality parts.
The only thing i didnt really care for was the cable management and the mile long velcroed up RCA cables. For computer guys that go on about proper cable management i thought they'd at least buy the proper length wires, but it looks like they just took from a kit and had way too much wire. It takes away the aesthetics of an otherwise decent looking amp rack.
Holy crap, i was not expecting that at all! My favorite tech guy and mighty car mods in a combo! Coming from IT with a go fast car addiction that was probably one of the coolest things I've seen in a while!
I thought this was gonna be a bolt on or mild Ebay turbo build. As soon I saw Dave: OH, this is a BUILD, BUILD!!!!!!
@@TheBakedPotato8 the haltech alone is worth more than the whole car 😭
I love the recent focus on reusing renovating older tech and stuff! Keep ’em comin!!! 🎉
Same here, really does feel fresh with every iteration they put out
13:57 "It can do 2nd order impulse filtering. What that means, I don't know." - Alex. Spoken like a true engineer.
That sentence sums up every engineer I've ever met, and they're always beyond excited about it, even if they have no clue what it does!
I don't think mech engineering has signals & systems then lol lol
Just loved how he said it with such excitement and just matter of fact.
@@leo1funEverything's a spring-mass-damper in our world, so yes, lots of second order behaviour.
@@SentientTeapot2444 that is true. One of the things I've never been able to do as an electronics engineer is to properly understand when control theory tried to teach me that every electrical circuit could be seen as a mechanical circuit
I think Plouffe got his best Christmas gift ever...!!! love to see the effort that everyone putted in his car and love to see him happy...!!!😊☺🤗
Seeing MCM go from modding a car on a driveway to its own garage and warehouse and seeing LTT going from a single house to a warehouse of staff, both channels have become staples of youtube and beyond
proud to say i have watched both for years and will keep doing so for years to come
agreed! im a car guy from my childhood in the 80s, and have been in the tech space since my military career in the 90s. this crossover is just EPIC
10:28 Brian's overnight parts from Japan.
Also, as a Brit it brings a tear to my eye to see our Canadian and Australian cousins playing so nicely together.
haha, as an "american", love this comment.
As someone who's learned English as a 2nd language, I'm happy to learn that even native English speakers don't understand Australian accent.
Australian is usually fine. Scottish on the other hand…
wtf this is hilarious are bosting about the colonization 😂😂😂 nice one buddy made me laugh soo hard 😂
This was actually awesome! As a technician, car guy and a tech enthusiast, I did'nt know I needed this content in my life but I'm glad it happened.
As a car guy and a pc guy, and somebody who has watched both MCM and LTT for at least a decade, the amount of things in common that both hobbies share and the sheer amount of happiness I had watching this in insurmountable
I absolutely love how this feels like a MCM episode, but featuring Linus and Alex - it's weird not hearing Moog's voiceovers during the music sections haha. I'm just sooo sad this isn't an entire series; love this collab.
This has to be a series.
@@BBROPHOTO I wouldn’t be shocked if some of the ltt crew goes down to Aus and builds some insane computer system for them
@@CloakAndDaggerPCAn Australian style tech van might be cool, and unlike Linus's van it doesn't even have to be practical lmao.
@ or do like a full studio upgrade for their music and video editing/creation stuff! But with a mile of rgb lol
@@CloakAndDaggerPC argb lift, argb tool box, argb pneumatic tools.
@32:10 Brother is now officially a car guy. The delayed elation as he processes what just happened is priceless. Also the underglow activating with VTEC is HILARIOUS.
My favourite part of the video lol, I hope to see more of plouffe and his civic
Ok the bit about using the screwdriver as part of the car? Brilliant, mates!
Came to say this.
Also, I was shocked when they said it would be operable too. I doubt that they didn't think about longevity when designing the shifter, so it speaks volumes to the screedriver's quality that it should handle that amount of repeated lateral force and still operate.
@StewPedassle the screwdriver is overengineered because linus has such exacting demands and Kyle went to town on it. You don't offer a no question warranty on a product typically if you are not confident in the engineering quality.
They do use ltt screwdriver aluminum edition on Mighty cars mods video
@@Jon-Sen it had 3 different screw drivers in it, first was my personal one then Alex’s metal one then we settled on the retro one as it matched the car the best
This was one of the best videos you all have ever done it was a fantastic collab and really hit on what makes TH-cam videos great!!!
Tonight on Linus Gear
Alex Gets into the boot (0:43)
Linus gets immediately corrected on the pronuciation of Aluminium (6:10)
And Jeremy becomes Australian (9:40)
The spec of your genious...
I immediately heard the theme song while reading this in Clarkson's voice
Laughed way too hard at this xD
Aluminum is as correct as aluminium
4:38
I love both. MCM & LTT is the coolest crossover I've ever witnessed.
This collab was fantastic. Love seeing people share passions with others and love seeing people respect the overlap between tech guys and car guys (my experience working at a tech store, a lot of car guys are tech guys too)
Love the crossover! It was like a comicbook xover. Caught the LTT first then watched the MCM and it was great to get multiple angles on the same project. I wonder if all the teams collaborated on editing because each team flushes out different aspects of the mod or at least elaborates on the story more. Love to see more of these from both teams!
Mighty Car Mods was the very first youtube channel i Subbed to in my life back in 2010 when they were working out of a small garage in a main road.
LTT, this collaboration just blew my mind and brought a tear to my eye. thank you.
We need some sort of deep dive on ECU tech, close-loop EFI and all that good stuff are awesome!
Haltech covers all this in videos about the R and S series ecus, and haltech is a very simple ecu in the world of EFI.
4:45 damn good point. I was a computer guy before a car guy. But learning how to build computers really helps the mindset of working on cars
The collab i never thought i needed. Been an MCM fan for over a decade. Great to see them and y'all kill it as always!!
This had my inner child smile from ear to ear for the whole video. The level of wholesomeness is off the charts!
This is the collaboration I always wanted. I’ve a heavy DIYer, build PCs, k swapping my Miata rn and doing home renovations. Marty is right the type of people that love modding, DIY and overclocking we all cut from the same cloth
please post the miata
This was SICK! A little miffed there wasn’t any camera shots of the new digital dashboard I wanted to see how that looked!
Search for Haltech Dash. MCM and Skid Factory have plenty of videos with them.
There are some shots on the longer cut video on the MCM channel.
@dearestdennis just search "haltech ic9" or "haltech ic7".
That's their 9 inch and 7 inch models
This has to be the best ever Collab. I have kind of a same swap in my Honda civic 1996. From the power stand point it definitely kills. It. I've also had the hydraulic power steering changed to electronic. But man this is awesome.
years ago, i actually engine swapped a 1.6 mitsubishi lancer for a 4G69 2.4 MIVEC (Mitsubishi brand V-tec) and also wired bunch of stupid LED lights that came on when the mivec kicked in. this was long before RGB was a thing. So i really appreciate that little touch.
"If it leaks oil, it has oil" - Shitbox 13:20. As an IT professional I've watched LTT for years. As someone who dailies his shitbox Civic, I've watch MCC and VTEC Academy for years. This is a collab I didn't know I needed, but the world is a better place for it.
I now need a LTT screwdriver handle for my shifter. I don't have a fancy K series to do this with. Just a stock D series...for now.
I still want to understand the history of car ecus, whether they're an asic, x86, arm risc, powerpc, ti, and so on and so fourth, because I feel that it would be more interesting than most people think
@@christopherlanger3159 haltech have a few videos on there channel of there history and how they are made, might find some answers there.
I believe most are simpler than that. A bunch of LUTs basically.
I work at Ford we use an arm64 based ECU. But yeah they can be 86 but not asic. Look up auto sar for a c++ framework
You'd love FuelTech, they are a Brazilian company where insane tariffs mean ppl can only afford stuff made in country and they have been developing some of the best EFI kit since the beginning
@@Onewheelordeal that’s rad
I used to have the exact type of odyssey that engine came out of, if it was an absolute model it’ll be the high output version
I had an Ek9 civic and while the B16B engine was a legend, the plan was always to get a k20, I managed a decent exhaust, coilovers and a fancy gear knob (wasnt an LTT screwdiver) you guys smashed this out in no time, hot damn, good job! great video!
LTT and Mighty Car Mods are two channels that I've followed since they started out out youtube, it's amazing to see this collab after how much both channels grew .
from Garage Stereo upgrade job to flying to Canada to upgrade a Civic.
Best Collab.
@8:55 "she had the misfortune of owning a rotary" sad but funny
it backfires.
What a fantastic crossover of my favourite channels! This was such a blast and feel good video on my birthday. Cheers to everyone making it happen and having fun while doing it.
Best LTT video of the year for sure, maybe the best of the last several years. This was so sick.
Well, I wasn’t a car guy but I might be now.
Hard to comment without sounding like a simp but I’m being honest. This was prob my fav TH-cam vid of the year. I loved the whole idea of this. It was a cool project. Do a nice, amazingly technical and creative thing for someone, bring in a whole lot of talented, creative and genuine people who love what they do and are clearly top tier and then watch them smash it under time and situational pressure.
I could go on but all I’m gonna say is I’ve watched every linked vid, found some new channels I wouldn’t have found and even pulled the trigger buying something I’d been on the fence about because it was a good sponsorship.
If there was any question about the success of this video, dudes, it was a smash for all of you.
@@stompreaper as a dude thats into cars, i love hondas. Theyre like legos. So so easy to work on, so so cheap to make into a V8 killer, and if done right can keep reliability
Actually might be one of the best videos y'all have EVER done. I'm not a car guy but the passion is infectious and the vibes on this video are just so dang good. 10/10!!!!!!
As a car guy, linus' reactions to the car stuff is exactly the same as my mates when im working on their cars. Recently a super techy friend of mine had the starter fail on his clio and he was dumbfounded watching me wrangle it past all the pipes and wiring. Like marty said, its the same sort of wheelhouse just took a different viewpoint.
as an Aussie thats loved Mighty car mods and linus for years and years. This is fantastic.
I second that.
Mighty Car Mods!! I still remember watching the original "Turbos and Temples" movie when it came out, and i still watch EVERY new video. The production value and music are INCREDIBLE!🤘
Cletus McFarland x LTT colab would go crazy
Cletus x MCM though...
Amazing stuff, this is carguy heaven right there.
As I am in the plans to move away from Germany Canada seems to be a nice spot but man am I too late for this...
Awesome guys!
omg, all these mods are FIRE. So jealous! The enigine and gearbox. The audio. The brakes. The exhaust. The SPOILER. Holy heck! Big ups to everyone involved and Ridge!
THIS NEEDS THE METAL SCREWDRIVER!!
With Canadian winter you'd end up with your hand stuck to it
They tested it, you can see it on the MCM side of the story for a few seconds.
@@Barlie_ lol
31:31 the laughter of a happy man
Gotta love it fr
Watched both MCM's and LTT's videos and it's so cool, they made it so it's all different stuff that you see. Love it!
The best LTT video I've watched. I was grinning ear to ear the entire time!
This was the absolute perfect LTT video for me , tech , car customization, Honda , couldn't have tailored a more perfect video for me
Ya seat upgrades and that's the final piece. Basically just a personal commodity but now that your civic is like track ready I think those will be just the perfect finish.
Ltt Embroidered racing seats would be so sick I think we can all agree!
This video is my two hobbies and fav channels, esp back in the day. I remember when MCM was a young channel at Martys Moms house just having fun, yk like pissin on your VW golf type of fun. Cant believe this is a video still
Never in a million years did I think I would see Vtec Academys Brian and Marty from MCM do a collab with LTT.
My 3 favourite channels kswapping a civic lmao, my heart is melting
8:15 The screwdriver was the best part of the upgrade!
Only till you can't find it after doing a repair and thus can't drive your car anymore xD
Since it appears to be slightly adapted it can't even be easily replaced lol
@@gamin9wizard945 except I'm pretty sure plouff has more ltt screwdriver
He can just use that
The LTT screwdriver as a shift knob is totally awesome.
Also if you're gonna watch Mighty cars mods video they use the ltt screwdriver aluminum edition one
@ I haven’t watched that one yet!
Linus, I broke my back literally and been trying to figure out life after losing my career and my main hobby, cars. Watching my future and my past collide gave me chills. Love the channel 🤙 I hope to be a Tech one day.
Linus now needs a Linus car tips channel
best colab ever !! 2 fav people in same place
27:30 Linus' eyes just pop out from his face when he realises how much time and money went into this
"Porshe owner left SPEECHLESS when he saw this CIVIC!"
Good thing it is sponsored 😂
You really need to do more content like this on the side. This is fantastic! Two of my favorite worlds meeting: cars and tech!
I've been loving the car content lately. Can't wait for part 2 where they turbo it...
Plouffie. Please upgrade the seat. It's worth it. You have a track weapon now. Lets go!!!
I vote rsx seats.
I own an 09 Civic. It's been in my family since 2010, it was my younger sister's first car. I bought it in 2020, and had it repainted, also replaced the suspension. It's still stock, 235k on the motor and transmission, still running well. Last year, my partner drove it to work, and fell asleep at the wheel on the way home. She swiped a guard rail, which gouged the passenger side from front to back. I was glad that she was fine, but heartbroken about the car. I knew that repair would cost more than the value of the car. I promised my sister that I would treasure that old car, and I did. I decided that it was worth it to me to have it repaired. 3k later and it looks like nothing happened. I would love to have a K series motor put into my Civic, hopefully something that will happen in the future. What a great video! Please do more like it!
It will happen, I believe in it and you!
@@Robb03 That's nice of you to say, thank you!
