Insane build. One of the best I've ever seen at a Gridlife, and done so fast on such a tight budget. One of the best, if not the best, road race Hondas of all time. If you haven't seen in person, you literally must.
7 months ago I came across this channel, started watching Larry's videos for hours. Moved from south africa back to my home country Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 now im getting bookings and shooting race, spinning cars and stance car show....all with an entry level Canon 70D and sigma 18-200mm Larry you inspired me🙏🙏 Sometimes I tell people "call me the Larry of Zim" 🤣🤣
Old Civics that are built like this have a special places in my heart. It's more than just its good features, but rather, I've got a lots of memories with old Civics especially during my childhood. We used to own an EK many years ago and my dad usually drove that car occasionally. Everytime I ride on that thing, I'm really happy not just of the sound of the exhaust and all, but the feeling of riding with it, it makes me comfortable and I couldn't explain why and how even tho it's just your normal econocrapbox. I was literally 6 - 8 years old during that time and yeah, best memories I've got with that car. Yes, sure you could get a proper track ready vehicle like Porsche 911 GT3 which is really cool and one of my dream supercar that I wish I could get someday, but building your own track-prepped vehicle hits really different. Sure that old Hondas like this guy has isn't really fast or some ort of supercar level or kind of like Supra/Skyline GTR level but it's not always about stats. It's all about how you're connected with your favorite vehicle, how you wanna build it and suit it to your own style and personal taste. It's all about the amount of passion and dedication that you're putting to your toy!! As a genuine old Civic enthusiast (specifically EKs or EK9 Type R), everytime I'd encounter a proper built old school Hondas, I do always get excited and it really makes me my day complete. I genuinely love this touring car build on this thing. Also, these kinds of builds are kinda resembles to Kanjozoku Civic Culture which are mostly track/touring car look for the streets and I'm a biggest fan of those. Hopefully I could the same kind build like this guy has someday. Thanks again, Larry!!! Contents like this are truly a work of art!!!
EJ1 would be a 5th gen coupe with a sunroof, an EX in the USA or an SI in Canada. This Sedan in the video would be an EG8. Useless Honda facts in my head.
Just get used to it, not worth the breath to say it. Everyone says ef,eg,ek because it’s jdm. I don’t care, I just like Honda civics, specifically hatchbacks. S2000’s, and NSX’s as well.
@@StudentDriverBR it’s 4th to 6th in the VIN number. For the 5th gen civics there are 15 codes worldwide I believe, and 3 more for the del sol. The code almost always tells you the body style and engine, unless it’s an EJ6 that could be a 2, 3 or 4dr.
I must repeat: This car is amazing. Somehow I feel like losing the EG was a universal push for him to do something like this. Great Builder, super stoked to see him back up in this mix!
Brings back memories. I had a red 94' Civic Dx Coupe with 16x7 wheels, Neuspeed race spings, Tokico HD struts and a Greddy cat back exhaust. Simple and clean. My wife was t-boned by a E350 Ford van while driving it. Car was totaled but still ran.
I remember meeting Eric Kutil at a house party back in columbus years ago when he was at Honda. Super chill guy and he had a lot of knowledge and passion that he was always willing to share when it came to cars. Its nice to see him take off down this route in life and that hes doing well! Cheers! -Brian Burnett
This car reminds me so much of my 93 eg9 B16 DOHC VTEC SIR. Great job with build.... These kind of builds make me regret ever selling my cars because they were dirt cheap in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s.
It was so funny talking with Eric during that "showcase" thing we were in. It was literally designed to just show the cars off and him and I both didn't hear the "this doesn't count for anything" and went hard as hell. He almost wadded it up and I destroyed my tires. To funny. So happy to see this car getting the love it deserves!
very cool! I'm a huge fan of BTCC but the JTCC was also epic. Glad people are making builds mirroring those build philosophy. lots of great engineering in this car.
Saw Eric and his dad where involved in a crash on the way home, with the car on a trailer just today.. God bless they are okay ! The car a little less.. Great vid off the car larry🙏🏻
I love this car I have a four-door and they are super underappreciated even by myself personally because I still desire and e.g. hatch but because I had a four-door I went down the same train of thought as Eric cause I also love JGTC he didn’t do much of a build video so I really appreciate you featuring it…. The Ford doors are going really hard in the Philippines though and I believe anyone in the states building four doors now are ahead of the trend because eventually low cost and high-availability compared to the other Civic platforms are going to make the four-door a thing
I feel what you’re saying but the 4 door (ferio) wave in the states hit like 15 years ago. Perhaps appreciation from the next gen in on the ups though.
exactly my thoughts... EG hatches will go down as future classics... these 4doors will live on as racers because most of them arent appreciated enough, and may have lower monetary value.. but are essentially makes them great platforms for those who want race on these gen
In South Africa 🇿🇦 Mercedes Benz dressed up EG Hondas with AMG kit and they also did the Honda EG Ballade 180e( inline with Benz 190e and so on) it came with integra B18B3 drove one for 2yrs it was to powerful my old aunt. That's when I fell inlove with Honda , this year Honda jazz GE manual ( R18 motor) and Honda CBR 400 is loading ❤️🇿🇦
Watching Eric hatch build & racing from his IG posting and other social media platforms. Then the painful destruction of the hatch itself was gut wrenching to see... However as I own 2 older Civic sedans myself, his latest creation and version of modern (JGTCC/DTM) style build has me even motivated to work on my sedans!!! Great to see him come back to track even better!
IAM restoring my integra LS and I believe in touring car calcher I truly think you i lieve eight hours from mid Ohio blessed you i would love to be there
I hope to run into Larry one day with my vq swapped kh3 ser spec v sentra. When it's finished. 2400lb 4 door. That could tickle 400whp na. With a idle like a cammed Ls.
Dude… I’m so Srry bro. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos, love and enjoy your content. I seen this video, clicked to view and then I noticed I wasn’t subscribed.. WTH! Again Srry. I instantly hit subscribed 👍
I want an EG civic. I want to build a ricer with a full sexy anime waifu wrap on it, but with all the serious hardware underneath. Just make a total frankenstein track beast/weeb transport.
I dont understand this class never heard of it (dont follow touring car) are all the cars limited to a Hp level. This seems low power to compete with corvettes etc

EJ EG etc what are those letters? It's part of the chassis number like the Trueno and Corolla with the AE85/86/88?
I miss my ej1 😞

I followed Eric building this via his instagram and I am so in awe of how well it came out. He absolutely killed it with the build and it's amazing.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it!
This guy is an inspiration. I was following the whole build on his ig. Attention to details, top quality build!

Lmao, good times haha! Send meter at full ha
Great video as always Larry, but that is an EG8 not an EJ1 👍
I forgot about Eric Kutil. I remember seeing videos of that little Civic ripping around the track. Such awesome stuff
very cool! I'm a huge fan of BTCC but the JTCC was also epic. Glad people are making builds mirroring those build philosophy. lots of great engineering in this car.
This channel should have so many more views.
Yooo, Eric Kutil is the man!
So stoked to see you cover his car (again, after the hatch a few years ago)
Awesome to see this guy back on the horse! Great Driver, builder, and guy overall!
I used to watch the Touring Car races back in the day, I always wanted to build one
In love with this! My first car was this exact model 5speed in dark blue. Such a great car
Been following Eric and his eg build prior to plandemic... Madman behind the wheel...!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks bro!
I love that he kept the super rare Ferio brake light!
Haha it was a gift from a buddy
Ahhh the good ole days.. this gives 🎶Motown feelings back again… abc, cvcc. 🎶
I was standing at that turn when you went full lock…. Literally the gnarlyist drift all weekend , and I was there with the drifters .
Saw Eric and his dad where involved in a crash on the way home, with the car on a trailer just today..
God bless they are okay ! The car a little less..
Great vid off the car larry🙏🏻
Yes Larry I saw that 911 too she looked sick in those colours. 😎🇬🇧✌👍👊
All we build for our race cars are sedans. Makes access to the rear much easier for fuel cell service etc.
I love you lary! I’ve been waiting for you to feature this car. Totally great car and build!

awesome car. I love the Touring Car Sedan style. Just bought a TSX to do kind of a 'street touring car' build myself.
eric put this together in few months was crazy

Love Jtcc Honda’s but the Honda Accord Jtcc blew my mind the first time I Learn about its accolades even the 4door Honda’s are fast but very fast 😂
I thought the thumbnail was out of Gran Turismo but its just that good

Great vid as usual Larry.But an EJ1 is the coupe with eg front end
I am sooo happy for him. Sounds like such a great dude
The EJ I always wanted while owning a '92 DX 1.5 liter. So sick!
I grew up with Erik in nyc i remember when he wanted to build a saab 900 dudes come a long way since then
12:34 Ben recording the hatch on the back hahahahahah
It looks like a proper 90s Super Touring car too
IAM restoring my integra LS and I believe in touring car calcher I truly think you i lieve eight hours from mid Ohio blessed you i would love to be there
I follow Eric for a while I can said he its the best driver the I see around killing over there
Awesome build!
It's got the Super touring look off the BTCC frm the 2000s. Like it... 😎🇬🇧✌👍👊
This build is amazing.... I might buy an eg sedam just to build something like this. I'd keep the ride height close to stock since I'll daily it
😂 Hell yeah Eric… yeah it’s counterintuitive to build a four-door car but that’s why I built it!!! 🎉 yesssss
I like to be different ha!
i wish this was an ej1 but love the sedans regardless
Larry for King 🤴 of car content 👌🏾 💯💯
Been waiting on this video
I really wish Eric had a TH-cam channel
Nicely done!!!👏
My dream build minus the livery, he did it the way I wanted to do my sedan when I had it.
eg sedans are so slept on
He needs to rock the ferio badge.
Really like your videos Larry but the audio is poor and it’s hard to listen without getting a headache.
I think all the cars driving past us was the problem. Had to talk louder than normal
kutil in czech language means handy man, so true
Hey there from Greece, awesome set up. Can i ask you about the suspension set up?
❤❤❤ love the entire setup
HybridRacing all day !!😎
I hope to run into Larry one day with my vq swapped kh3 ser spec v sentra. When it's finished. 2400lb 4 door. That could tickle 400whp na. With a idle like a cammed Ls.
Please...this is not EJ1...EJ1 is coupe model...this is EG9 or EG8...
maybe ask neuspeed for tips? they made there own Supertouring accord
amazing car build .the Honda have benn re-imagen ...like stinger :)
The eg hatch and the sedan are almost the same weight, door on the hatch are stupid heavy compared to a sedan doors I notice when I owned mine.
Remembering dany yamato civic..
You need a Bridgemoto JTCC steering wheel to complete the look
Hmm.... surprised. Thought the btcc and jtcc ran the cars at stock ride height and ran big front air dam/splitter and big side skirts.
OMFGGGGGGGG the NSX on regas in the bg, MOISTTTTT!
great Story... but LOVE the Car porn perv at 26:20 kek
Such a cool car.

Fuck yeaaa
center seat next year?
Making me want to build a Honda
The stacked line up of cars in the background was epic
That's not a EJ1 but I sure wish it was 😅
Camera guy is just pushing it lol 😂 swear ☠️
10:50 what does he mean by R6 transmission?
Rsx type s transmission
Glad to be the 1st to open ❤
Is this a reupload?
gotta remove the oil pan and lower the engine
Lol who needs oil pans

First
My favorite racing in the 90's.
Eg sedans only look good when they look like the JTCC versions. If you’re gonna do it, you gotta make it look like this.
this car needs shortened spindles
Awesome build!!!
