Honestly props to this guy, dont matter what car you drive. Real passion is amazing and this guy is full of it. I hope he keeps it up
ey
War is coming...
You mean I can have a wide body kitted prius with a giant wing and dragon stickers and that's still cool?
im not seventeen yet but my dad brought me a mazda rx7 1996 ready for me to turn into a track car you can do anything if you belive in yourself.
+Jake Reynolds but your dad bought if for you, what does that have to do with believing in yourself when you get it as a present, lmao!!
When he peeled off duct tape to remove his hood, I knew this guy was Legit!! XD
Ummm not duct tape actually it is 100 mile per hour tape.
Unj
Explanation, for the duct tape, please? Is it for aerodynamics?
@@nutshot_brawler8466 I assume it's to stop his hood flying off when he's going round the Nurburgring 😂
This cannot get any better than that a man is reviewing his car while holding the bonet
lol
Roadkill fanatic ?
+Ben W Yeah grey colour duct tape 😂😂😂
+Ben W I'm pretty sure the duct tape was for better areo...
+David McClelland lol
at 2:00 you can see Sabine Schmitz is still determined to beat Clarckson's time of 9:59 in a van with a screaming Richard Hammond in the passenger seat
I thought of that very episode when i seen that white van lol
wait a second, is she still trying to beat his time? That was years ago when that episode aired
its a joke fam
yea I saw that too
I had to scroll down way too much to find this comment
That IS the coolest! No $$$$ paintjob bullshit crap, just an awsome little car. I like it. The bumbs and dents on it fit it well!
sleepers, they always looks like a normal stock car. But underneath it, there's a beast waiting to roar. yeah, I love this kind of cars too
+Razerphynx I know, thats a perfectly tuned up track car.
I'm referring to his word "no paint job bullshit crap"
+Daffa Abieza not a sleeper has a crx motor if anything he should have put a gsr motor in it and boosted it.
+Daffa Abieza if that was a sleeper it would have steelies and a biege leather interior and it would smell like 1973
fuck off little bitch its the built its what you make , its not knowing what you got but what you built
I love Alex's reactions. Its like seeing a child enjoying at the amusement park.
Ikr. But won't lie, I'd probably act the same way except even more childish.
Ikr. Although I'd probably act even more childish.
+Gun Hee Lee ok
+Gun Hee Lee ok
Wait da Frick?
He passed all of those 911's with just 135hp.
Yeah but 135hp with a close ratio transmission, and only 650kg to haul around, that thing will be pretty nippy
The lesson is: power to weight ratio.
His car has about 208 BHP/Metric T. and that Porsche he passed looked like a Carrera s, so it's about 242 BHP/Metric T. Plus it doesn't hurt he's a hell of a driver.
they are shitty drivers
it wasnt a race i think. just a lap. everyone was letting him pass, you can see him wave to them to say "thanks"
4:33 i loved how he was like¨ aookey so bazzikly¨ and started peeling of that tape from the hood hahahah
You know it's fast when you know you can take a 911 Turbo in the straight
the Porsche was obviously not giving full throttle
+Horst Lustig sure thing buddy, keep telling yourself that
+Ichigo D. 1.Watch again.
2.Delete your comment.
Or the Porsche driver wasn't as skilled as the Honda driver and couldn't carry as much speed. That's more a likely scenario.
There's a saying along the lines of "if you can't win a race with 100hp, 1000hp won't help you ether"
I love how this guy casually walks round his car with the hood in his hands
''No matter what you do, who you are or what you like, if you like cars make damn sure that you own or build something that makes you happy and serves exactly the prupose you need it''. damn, this video is completly inspirational, love it.
This is such a cool car, and damn impressive driving skills too. It's a pleasure to see such a creation. Performance art for the track :)
This guy was passing porsches like it was nothing! Maximum respect for this guy
When he tore the tape off the bonnet. that guy has some friggin style right there.
Nice video. Love how you show the built side of Hondas unlike other channels that talk crap about Hondas 24/7
Go home transit van, you're drunk.
It's just sabine on a shakedown lap.
lol i know.. i see tho quite often...
But not if it's Guy Martin ford transit if you know what I means
@@DrVonDeafingson i came to say, bye bye Sabine,,,
@@RachaelSA 😘
Hondas are awesome! like if u agree:)
I don't respect a lot of people but you sir have received my respect for the love of Honda
hell yeah
Honda's are great
Honda's are great
I agree
I've seen some of his youtube videos.... Whats your youtube?
+Menno Link in the description
+Car Throttle Oh no i was trying to be funny but i didn't work :/ I loved how you said "I've seen some of his youtube videos" and then asked "whats your youtube?" At 1:15 . But thank you so much for replying!
+Menno Hahahahaha loll
I feel like he was just trying to give that guy a shout out, rather than falsely claiming to have "seeb some of his youtube videos"
+Car Throttle hahaha stupid
this dudes car is the definition of power to weight ratio
wow, I've had a 74 78 and 79 aswell as b16 and b18 civic I can't imagine the scary fun you have with that beauty...Enjoy! and stay safe
The car is a credit to the Gentleman builder. Fly like the wind, out of a Honda engine l am surprised. I would of questioned why not a rotary engine or subaru engine?
Was the driver waveing as you passed the Porsche on the track.?
I be smiling too with this build great work.
Wow haven't seen seen one of those older civics for a long time
I have a 1974 one and I'm putting a k20 in it
+jayjaylen75 you can follow the build on garage amino my username is alexracingbatista1
I'll type it again so you can read it easier

What an awesome car! So good to see a classic being used and not sitting in a garage never seeing daylight. And what an awesome guy too!
Ca fait plaisir de voir un français sur cette chaîne!
Carrément ! :P
La voiture est immatriculée en Moselle, c'est une chance d'être si près du Nurburgring en plus !
Thank you. How about English under an English channel?
+Schinken LP We are free to speak whatever language we want. You're welcome.
Surtout avec cette civic complètement folle !
The people who disliked this are jealous and can't appreciate this guys hard work and sweat put into this car
I've got the engine in this car in my CR-X, with a turbo, and it's a fantastic motor. 192hp at the wheels on 8psi. No, it's not vtec, however, I have torque :D
Such an awsome car. Very nice guy. Thank you alex and carthrottle for sharing this. Love it
Could you imagine at this weight of the car if he threw in a B series engine even the B18B. This would fly. Awsome car and build and this little kids is what the car sport is about. Building whatever makes you happy and gets you out there no matter what your budget is. Power is not everything on the track.
I LOVE this car. It shows love, garage engineering, ingenuity, and pure unapologetic passion from it's builder and owner. It's an honest little every-man's car. I strongly disagree with people saying and writing "Built not Bought" is bullshit. Nit picking and claiming that unless ALL parts were produced in house, than it's not a legit built car. Just about ANYBODY can sign a check for a performance car. Those claiming "Money=Work" ignore the fact that some people didn't work for said cash. Some are born into wealth while others(Lottery Winners) just luck into large amounts of cash. Anyone fool with funds can write a check to walk out with a super-car or pro built tourer. This does NOT mean they are car people, for many (NOT ALL) it means "they have lots of money and wish to flaunt it". This car is unique and it stands for something (experiences, trails, patience, busted knuckles, profanity in frustration, research, and doing the best with what little you got) that money cannot outright buy. "Built not Bought" is not a knock on cars themselves, nor does it mean a person is just better than someone else overall. It's a statement to bring light and celebration to the skills honed, sweat pored, books read, sleep lost, and spare time from the daily grind put forth to make a vehicular vision manifest that's largely ignored by Jane/Joe average. That's just my opinion and that's why I respect this man and his ride.
Don't know what was cooler the car or the driver. Nothing but respect for both though.
Outstanding!! my son just purchased a 1975 wagon 5 speed with 92,000. Its going to be his project car. I can't wait to see the final result. Its his first purchase on his own which makes me very proud. We are both car enthusiast and passionate about performance. We currently enjoy driving our Ford GT350 and Honda S2000.
There is just something about being in a Honda that just brings people joy. I have never been able to understand it and still don't but i won't fight it.
127 Porsche owners disliked
To be fair I think one of those was a 318
+PGTMR2 what the fuck is a 318?
BMW 318ti
+PGTMR2 318
85*
the cars from the 60's 70's are the best looking from Honda to me
Love the car and what you have done to it and OMG it is fast and it was so cool to see you passing other cars like it was nothing... Great job on the build...
6:19 White renault 5 GT Turbo in the background. Greatest hot hatch of its era & still an awsome tuneable classic :)
The turbo 2 looks so much cooler ;p. nonetheless turbo1 is still a cool car.
what year are they?
i think from the group B rally era but im not sure.
+jijisniet i wouldn't consider them the best of that era. i know they're fast as fuck and good fun but i guess that's just opinion
80's then replaced by clio 16v and clio williams in the 90's
Its so funny that in my country, I can't find a single riced Honda.
let me guess..... Canada???
+Fade LK Nah.
+Fade LK riced civics are in Canada as well
there are tons of riced civics up north
+Fade LK lmfao there's rices Hondas all thru out canada
No matter what you have there's ALWAYS be haters...
H-aving
A-nger
T-owards
E-VERYONE
R-eaching
S-uccess
And with that said....this guy took what he thought is cool, worked with it, tweaked it HIS own way. Like it or not you should respect his passion for his ride.
BUILD WHAT YOU LIKE NO MATTER WHAT OTHERS SAY!!!!
absolutely in love with this build, big props to George!
This great because not only is it the ultimate version of built not bought, but it is his car, he did what he wants not what others want. And good on him. Well done man
was that a van on the track? xD 2:00
transit driver trying to beat sabine's time
We think he was delivering a new engine for Alex's MX-5.
I've seen delivery trucks, campers and transit busses on that track.
Trust me its not the weirdest thing people drove on that track.
topgear
2:03 Silver Transit? Top Gear flashback?
damn. thats hell of a car build there. iv seen many cars but that one just stole my heart
My grandad had a white one. He was a painter and remember him loading it with big paint buckets, brushes and other work stuff like it was a pickup truck going to work... May he RIP..
Where is the link Alex?
Top right corner, or in the description.
Its now exactly where you pointed. But I am not a professional racing driver so who cares...
He looks like Obama though..
whats wrong with obama ?
+mloky sq obamacare
+Royatoy whats wrong with obamacare
I think he looks more like Lewis Hamilton!
"I am the head of the MOTHERFUCKING STATE N***A I BROUGHT YOU CHANGE N***A WHAT THE FUCK YOU THINKING N***A"
I dont know why that slow dumpy looking car is soo endeering and buttugly beautiful. But i like it a lot. I could not stop smiling watching this video. That car is awesome.
mY FRIEND had one of those civics 1978 model in highschool and it was an amazing little ride, seriously the stock ones handled amazing if you just lowered them a bit and even stock with open exhaust was zippy really zippy... handling was amazing on stock shocks with cut springs on rubber bump stops... like amini cooper style suspension (rubber springs)... but now I think wow, that was literally a tin can of a car...
i dont even like tuners but dammmmmmm!!! sick car
why not? wtf
Yeah same but wow, this particular one is pretty well engineered.
Throw in a a B18C and that thing would lift the dead from their graves.
or a K20
+panashonik a k20 would literally bring jesus back to earth on this thing
+al howerton hahaha
***** So since we are dreaming big, maybe a K24 with a K20 DC5 Head, and a supercharger.
Power to Weight Ratio of a Spacecraft. :D
+bonamin Honda omfg I'd have a poster of that thing in my room if it did
I always wanted a 1970's Civic. Love the front-end and basically a Honda fan.
u gotta respect A man who builds his own car! That thing is absolutely mental!
Alright who's he one guy who disliked this video
The kid that doesn't like Honda
+YaBoii 450 or v8 fanboys.
yeah! what's with the crx engine? he should have swapped an LS in there! power blah blah blah simple reliable blahblah 1000+hp blahblah blah...
+Matthias Schmitt i was expecting a K20
Me nigga
The Rarest thing in the world is a Stock '99 Civic.
Stock 93
JDM racing Oh yeah but i like the 99 civic more
I have a stock 97
+JDM racing +1
I have a stock 96
I have an automatic 2002 NB and I'm dying to convert it to a manual. Watching this video and learning this used to be an auto really inspires me. Good video!
I owned a 1979 cvcc and I loved that little car
Prob faster than mclaren-Honda's f1 car 😂
Damn Obama has some skills.........
he better- no cage, so, if he screws up, that civic will quit rolling sometime next month.
AHHHHHHHHHH AHHAHAHHAHAHHAH
zj120cn if only obama was good at something other than golf!
He was the worst us president
*young obama hahaha
I have a 1986 all original Honda civic dx hatch back...your car is very nice ..lots of work in that civic ..good job
Bought a 81 civic in 86 for 250 dollars. Before I had a license. The muffler was broke. I beat the shit out of that on the dirt road next to the house in Virginia Beach. I love your build. Hope to see it again.
a time when ricers didnt exist
such a sad fate hondas took when the ricers ruined it's image
this car is a prime example of "unlocking" the potential of a honda
im lovin it.
still prefer the Ford Escort RS but this one would be amazing to own
No need for a right mirror 😂
Domass7 if I'm not mistaken the civics still had one mirror in the early nineties 😂
nicely done. great build and great review. I like what you said about making a car that makes you happy. i have a modded up mess but its unique and a blast to drive and I love it.
Real respect for this guy. Anyone who can put that much work into a car is a true petrolhead
Aren't all the cool Civics built though?
definitely cooler than the new Type R :P
thanks french obama
Daniel Clegg
Don’t insult the Frenchman.
I've followed him for a while on Facebook, nice to a "under the radar but amazing" project showcased :D I feel like a hipster now.
I dont know if it's the English accent or what but the narration is spot on. life around true car guys is amazing.
passes transit van = meh
passes 2008 M3 (I believe.Srry I don't know BMW that well) = :D
passes Merc = Oh shit dude
passes 2 porches 1 of them on the straight = :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Head explodes.
So Barack is having a good time after retiring from the white house.... Yoooo Obama how you doin man,...
This guy looks young. If only we can have more people like him. He's very smart, loves cars and has great understanding about cars.
I love this kid that built his car. He does love his Honda!
Its Obama's long lost son!
What made me happy was that the little civic passed so many new cars
Car Throttle really is the best place for automotive content
man Honda had such neat car designs in the 70's. All there small cars are pretty cool. I just wished more kei cars would come to north america. Bombing around whistler and through bc would be so much fun in a tiny car.
I can't think of anything I'd do different body and look wise. My. Ma had a green one and I've wanted another ever since, someday I'll have one with a b20 done in a weapon manner. Thanks for featuring this car!!
Wow! Cool little honda. Guy is quick around the track!
I'm in love with Honda, I never used to be until I was looking for my first car of which I have chosen the civic EP1 which is perfect.
I guess it sucks that some people call me a ricer, but I don't mind defending it. Such a tonne of fun and I'll define be making videos on my little civic.
I keep coming back to this video 💯💯💯
Now that's cool, I used to have a 79 1200cc Civic. I have a 97 EK Civic coupe with a boosted B18B1 on 12 lbs it made 302 HP through a GSR transmission. It's alot of fun. I built the engine and swapped it from a VTEC single cam. It doesn't look as fun to drive as this Civic though...
this is the type cars I wanna see on this channel
Me too
Papot's Garage! I've been in love with this car for the longest time. It really is the world's coolest Civic.
I love the fact that zero fucks are given on looks. Happiness comes from just enjoying passing people who pay way more than you for there car. Nice ride
This is amazing, but I wouldn't call it no-fucks given! You can definitely tell the amount of love put into the car!
Thanks for the video and your enthusiasm! There is nothing compared to being on a track on a good race car...and if is not that expensive...Better! Then you can go flat out with no regrets!.
Awesome that you feature him on CT
He´s a great guy, very friendly and with lotta knowledge.
So humble about this amazing car.
how can you not just love this car..!! 🙋
このシビックは初期型で、まだ創業者の本田宗一郎さんが現役時代の一番のヒットカーやったよなあ こんな古いボディーは日本でも博物館以外に無いはず それぐらい貴重なクルマで、しかもこんなに走れる状態で保たれてるのが凄すぎ 天国の本田宗一郎さんも喜んでいると思います
thanks CT, now classic Hondas will jump in price. good thing I already have a few!
Now this is a car and this is a car guy! Smiling all the way though this video
one of the coolest videos on youtube, well done.
Oh snap. More Hondas please! Thank you very much 👍👍👍
DAAAAMN MAN!!!!!!!!! THE BEST VIDEO YOU EVER MADE!
I love how he walks arround with the hood :P Great car dude!!!
This guy's passion is very rich my control that's his baby you're exactly right build for what you need doesn't always have to look pretty and fancy love the Honda beautiful
True car guy there, beautiful car in its own right. Love it.
Wow, a civic that's not overly riced, this is the first civic I like actually
an absolute inspiration to car culture, couldn't of sed it better n I want dat civic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
